it is corruption for the democrats without the open and a complete lie now first off the arizona gop had a historic victory in the supreme court. [applause] so think god with election security lives in arizona so hopefullyha which is all we expect to fight tooth and nail for local control that we have to be reunited as conservatives and republicans to make sure every election is free and fair and we win. this is a complete lie from biden on down if you have any election reform we are racist and trying to oppress voters it is a complete lie. we have to stand up and say democrats are lying. voter id is not racist. it is common sense.

he was trying to persuade us he won arizona and everyone knows he won arizona. he continued to claim the election had been stolen from him and there was widespread fraud, the evidence for which has never surfaced or been produced. it was a revealing capstone to our investigative reporting process. by the time we went out to hear what he had to say, we talked to 140 people worked closest with him. we had a good sense of where the reality was. host: did you challenge him on what is aides and friends and cabinet secretary told you? guest: in that interview, we often let donald trump talk and tell us his view. we want to do here his worldview. there may times we said, sir -- there was not hugging and kissing -- he argues that many of the protesters during the capital january 6 were part of a loving crowd. we definitely questioned him. the purpose of this interview was to hear him. it is a little jaw-dropping, the way he is committed to this alternate vision, the way he has hardened his inner narrative so that it has no correspondence, no morning to reality or fact.

we're not talking a little bit of money, arizona, mark kelly is running and we will beat him, but if this passes, he'll get as much as $18 million of your tax dollars. how about raphael warnock in georgia, as much as $25 million of your tax dollars. new hampshire, maggie hassan, by the way, call chris sununu, the governor of new hampshire to make sure you want him to run for senate. if he does we will win. cortez masso in nevada as much as $11 million. in colorado michael bennett he'll get up to $11 million. or 16 million dollars. now let's talk about our good friend chuck schumer, now, chuck schumer, don't you just love the guy? so you know, he's not partisan at all. so he says we have to pass this bill, he's working on it really hard because we have to pass it to save democracy. no, he wants to pass it to save his skin. guess how much he would get? up to $45 million of your money to run attack ads. it's corruption for the democrats right out in the open and it's based on a complete, complete lie. there's no basis for this. now, first off, we all should congratulate the arizona g.o.

it's very dangerous. >> it's not just arizona. yesterday i spoke with michigan attorney general about the impact of the big lie on her state. let's take a listen to what she had to say about that. >> i don't know how we're ever going to get back on course after what we seen in our state. i don't know how we'll get to a point where the average voter in the state of michigan will ever believe what we know to be true, which is our elections are safe, secure and accurate. >> that's pretty stunning. how concerned are you for the same affect in arizona? >> it is vr stunning. i do have concerns but the fact of the majority of arizona voters across the board, not necessarily in one particular party but most voters do have faith in the election systems and the security and fairness of our elections and they also don't support what's going on here with this fake audit. they see it for the sham that it is and they honestly tired of this partisan games. that is a big part of the reason i'm running for governor to get to work on real issues fo

he also talked about the supreme court ruling on arizona voting rights. this is 15 minutes. pres. biden: let me begin by saying that the creative cooperation between local, state, and federal officials down here has been remarkable. i want to thank our fema director for their effort. governor desantis, senator marco rubio and scott, congressman schulz, mayor, they have all cooperated in ways i have not seen in a long time. it is really a testament to how difficult things are down here. it is what, quite frankly, we miss a lot. we have all been working in tandem from the moment we got the news of the collapse of the building. i think my colleagues will tell you, we cut through the bureaucracy, the one order i gave, the federal folks, was no bureaucracy, just cut through and get to what they need. that is why we decided to cover 100% of the search-and-rescue costs for the first 30 days. that is necessary here, in my view. and fema is going to provide temporary housing and other urgent needs for the device -- survivors. state department are expediting visas for family members from ot

voters in arizona are tired of this. they want real leadership. and they want folks that are going to tackle real problems. rehashing the 2020 election is not one of them. >> secretary hobbs, it's easy for people to watch what is happening in arizona or watch what is happening in texas or watch what is happening in georgia and say, that's just arizona, that's just texas, that's just georgia. i don't live in any of these three states. can you talk to me a little bit about how all of these threats weave together and the way in which they challenge not just democracy in the state of arizona, but democracy writ large. >> absolutely. we've been having conversations secretaries of state and other election officials across the country who are concerned about this fake audit in maricopa county. we've seen legislators from other states come and tour and try to bring this kind of thing to their state, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, georgia. there's a lot of concern about this. the goal here is not to validate the 2020 election results, to continue to so

arizona's electoral votes. that's because we've seen a big surge in latino voters, mefrm voters and native american voters for the first time in a long time, not just registering but turning out to vote. they've made it harder for folks because they lost the last election. instead of playing by the rules which they lost by, they're trying to make it harder for communities of color. the decision by the u.s. supreme court was disappointing but not surprising because what we see with the conservative majority in the supreme court is an attempt to slowly make it harder for communities of color, rural americans, rural arizonaans to have access to the ballot box. it is disappointing but not surprising. we have heard next year that the republican colleagues in the legislature will be introducing some of the more onerous restrictions and ways to make it harder for people to access the ballot box. it will be a full-on war not just this year but next year when we go back to legislative session in january. >> you saw demo

donald trump is going to arizona. while a team of volunteers spent weeks scouring ballots for proof they were shipped in they were from overseas here's a news flash that trump did not spend a single dollar from the $75 million raised from the pac for this audit or another ballot review across the country so it seems the team realizes nothing is going to reverse the results 0 of this election. yet here we are 263 days after the votes were cast with very few republicans willing to publicly accept there's no hail mary in arizona. let's check in with kung law there in phoenix. >> reporter: still pretty lively right now as this place is beginning to fill up. this is an indoor theater and expected in a few hours is donald trump to headline this entire event why the atmosphere here when you go around and talk to people here to see trump is absolute refusal to accept the election results. when you talk to them and ask them what they think happened in november 2020, they don't believe what happened. instead they parrot the lie

it is in full swing in arizona. we are expecting them to announce their supposedly scandalous results sometime soon. republicans even now are moving to also do it in wisconsin, also in pennsylvania, also in georgia. even also in oklahoma where trump won by more than 30 points, but still there must have been democratic fraud. in his remarks today, president biden then turned to what voting rights advocates are desperate to hear from him. a full-throated unreserved call to act, to protect voting rights nationally in washington, which is the only way to stop the state-by-state devastating attacks on voting rights that republicans are now pursuing across the country. watch. >> last month republicans opposed even dab debating, even considering the people's act. senate democrats stood united it to protect our democracy and the sanctity of the vote. we must pass the for the people act. it's a national imperative. we must also fight for the john lewis voting rights advancement act to restore and expand -- [ cheers and appla

the degree to which there are a few courageous republicans of her november 3rd in arizona, in georgia -- they're all being attacked, and getting very little support from other republicans around the country. so the problem with -- some of the republicans, i don't know how many i believe the big lie, but others are ready to sign up to. it >> robert how will -- republicans casually believe that there is some voter fraud in the country that needs to be dealt with but the don't share the view that joe biden didn't win the election. what's a way to make this a more partisan left hurt? because at the state level, and this is getting out of control. >> i think you're going to have to see this happen really at the dnc level, at the political level. i think you saw this happen earlier in the week with vice president harris. we announcing a renewed effort at a democratic national committee to take this on as an issue, to think about how to eventually register more voters, how to fight voter suppression, how to get back into the court system. i think the challenge that you heard from bill and ot

we should all congratulate the arizona gop because they had an historic victory in the supreme court. [applause] think that her president trump and the supreme court who have upheld election security laws so that hopefully in 2022 we will have across the country a secure, free and fair election, which is all we expect. but the democrats are going to fight tooth and nail to strip the states of all local control. but we have to be united as conservatives and republicans to make sure that every election is free and fair. in free and fair elections, we win. this lie is a complete lie from biden down. they believe if you have any election reforms, we are racist and trying to oppress voters. it is a complete lie. we have to stand up and say the democrats are lying. voter id is not racist, it is common sense.

today, arizona republicans who are doing there, so called, audit, in arizona, they gave a briefing on the progress. only two republican senators were there but they try to call it a hearing. this audit that they're doing in arizona, they launched it in april, this it will take three weeks. it's of course mid july under still going strong. they make clear today that they're definitely finding all the fraud they've been fantasizing about. but it's definitely gonna take a lot of more investigation, lots more materials, probably lots more donations from trump supporters nationwide. it looks like they will subpoena more stuff from the county america where they got all the ballots from. the way they're talking about it today it sounds like they have weeks to go, maybe months still to go. it's such a big and complex investigation. there is no sign that there was anything wrong with the presidential vote in arizona. nothing. there is no sign that there was anything wrong with it, at all. and i'm saying that because i can observe it, because i can observe that the vote in arizona was subjected

going to be in that is senator joe manchin a senator from west virginia and senator kyrsten sinema from arizona since they are the most moderate democrats that biden needs to pass that reconciliation. they will have a few -- they don't want a huge liberal package, they want something more targeted. for a senator like joe manchin, west virginia, i have not checked the stats, but there is not that many nature -- major cities which are bearing the brunt of this type of increase in violence, it's a rural state so i'm sure he is under less pressure to put in more background check laws and try to take illegal guns off the street. i'm sure that reconciliation package will have more funding for cops and making sure that they reform as well, because you don't want the repeat of where african americans in our country feel like the police are targeting them with george floyd and countless other instances over the years. they are trying to figure out exactly what's in that infrastructure package and how much money they should spend on childcare and other soft infrastructure because they have not finished t

that's something arizona attorney general mark brnovich argued. >> we want to make sure everyone has the ability to exercise the franchise and make sure everyone has confidence in the process, and they respd e e dec undermines the voting rights act because laws like arizona's can be a barrier to minority voting. in a statement, president biden said he was deeply disappointed in the decision and called on congress to pass new legislation. at the same time, his justice department is suing one state -- georgia -- saying its new voting law intentionally discriminates against black voters. the decision today may make that lawsuit more difficult, and as states pass more restrictive voting laws, the message from the justices is clear -- >> this is another sign from the supreme court that these are going to be quintessential political judgments. left to the political branches of the states. it's going to be increasingly difficult to challenge them in court. >>> turning to the latest on the coronavirus, the cdc says the number of new covid infections in the u.s. rose 10% this week as the high

we saw a law of that nature in arizona passed by republican-controlled legislature, upheld by the supreme court this week. so these are very controversial issues. republicans are trying to make sure that the rules for voting are stricter. democrats are trying to make sure that as many people are able to vote as possible. there are some tensions, of course, between ballot access and ballot security. but as i mentioned in that piece, one of the reasons why the debate is as heated as it is is that in each case, the parties i think perceive themselves to be getting some kind of advantage by having the legal regime surrounding voting that they prefer. republicans believe that if you tighten up some of the protocols that we saw in the 2020 election, that they would win more races, possibly given that the presidential race really came down to fewer than 45,000 votes, remaining battleground states. from an electoral college perspective. the democrats believe that the greater the turnout, the greater their chances of winning. clearly they are pretty happy that joe biden has 81 million votes. that

he does seem to be taking pages right out of the arizona playbook. in arizona, the republican state senate leader used her subpoena power to force the board of elections to turn over ballots. this pennsylvania state senator also runs a committee that theoretically has subpoena power. in arizona, the state senate fronted $150,000 to pay for their so-called audit. the rest of the funding for it is coming from sources that nobody involved will disclose. this pennsylvania state senator is also trying to secure funding for an audit and has sought advice from a law firm about how to go about using money from a private non-profit organization to pay for vendors, consultants and anyone else. in arizona, all the republicans involved in the so-called audit have been claiming that it's not about overturning the 2020 election. it's about restoring integrity to the state's elections. right on cue in pennsylvania, a law firm tapped by the republican state senator said in a letter that the purpose of such an audit would be to -- hope you are sitting down -- develop

journeyman i was the west virginia attorney general and the arizona attorney general. manchin has positioned himself as the kingmaker, the most important man in washington they described him as. what message should he be hearing from west virginians over this monstrosity of a bill we do not need. >> thank you very much for having me on. when i'm looking at what's happening with this $3.5 trillion travesty, one of the things i'm most focused on is this new so-called clean electricity standard. if that goes into effect, that will devastate the west virginia economy. we'll go into free fall because we still rely on coal for 90% of our electricity and power needs and natural gas. the whole goal behind this big bill and the biden climate agenda is literally to wipe out the use of those fossil fuels. if he votes for this, this would be catastrophic. i'm rooting him on, i'm hopeful he will do the right thing. you may remember back in 2010 when senator manchin first ran, he put a rifle, shot the rifle through the cap and trade bill. what we are talking about here is the cap an
