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.

experience inng arizona will be normal for other regions iner the country. 's there are some great lessons to be learned. so first of all our buildings are built that this is a hot climate all built a central air and then to understand we have to provide for comfort but also the structures as well looking at public transit we make sure it is shaded or will be shaded. the infrastructure is already there for some extent and normal way we approach it is very normal so with playgrounds you have the covering to protect from extreme heat so my advice is other municipalities learn from what we done in the region toeg address it. that said we have a long way to go in arizona to make sure we are keeping people safe. the other areas the government could be helpful is to formulate these regional working groups not to be in that competitiveve environment so working with cross purposes those areas within wine region that political will of heat. thank you. >> the chair recognizes the gentleman for five minutes. >> i have no questions and i yield my time. >> thank you you

i want to start with this arizona stuff. i mean, we've known for a long time, obviously, that the president has been interested in getting states to basically find the votes that he needed in order to win. what went on in arizona, i think, highlights the big challenge. it didn't end after election day. it didn't end after the inauguration. we have an audit going on there. and this is a little bit from giuliani's voice mail to one of the republican arizona officials. he says to him, if you get a chance, would you pleads give me a call. i have a few things i'd like to talk over with you. maybe we can get this thing fixed up. i think it's a shame republicans are both kind of in this situation, and i think there may be a nice way to resolve this for everybody. this is like the kind of thing that you would see in a gangster movie or something like that. but it's happening in american elections. what does this matter at this point given that this is the predicate for voting restrictions that are coming down the pike in states like

the arizona republic reports tonight that one of the republican state senators in arizona who's been promoting the audit thing in arizona all along, he's now selling t-shirts promoting his cause. the cost of his t-shirts, it's a sliding scale by size. they're $35 to $45 for a t-shirt. wow, order yours today. it's $35 for a small or $45 for a double extra large, which frankly just seems rude. "the washington post" reports tonight former president trump seems to have found a tidy path through the wreckage to pay his living expenses via this nonsense he continues to stoke. the headline in "the post" tonight, quote trump's pac collected $75 million this year, but so far the group has not put money into pushing the ballot he touts. it raised about $75 million the first half of this year as he trumpeted the false notion the 2020 election was stolen from him. but the pac has not devoted funds to help finance or push for similar endeavors in other states according to people familiar with the finances. instead the save america leadership pac, which has few limits on how it can spend its money

democrats challenge two arizona rules. one, that tosses out ballots when voters show up at the wrong pre precinct. the ruling was 6-3. that a reflection of the court's powerful conservative majority and it sends a clear signal this court believes states get wide latitude in the voting rules. we are joined with the big final day decisions. >> very big, indeed. and the take away from this is that this is going to make it a lot harder for challengers of these voting laws to actually prevail here. because in this 6 3 decision written, this didn't just uphold the arizona laws that have been in effect for many years. but this restricted the ability of challengers to really challenge section 2. and the reason why this is so important is that really section 2 is the only way now for these people to challenge these voting laws. that's because in 2013, the supreme court struck down essentially section 5 of the voting rights act. that was a section that mandated that jurisdictions with the history of racial discrimination, they neede

and you can look at arizona. and clearly, this was a state that trump campaign thought they were going to win. but you have to look at the bigger picture. when we're looking at questions of the election integrity, across the board, trump, giuliani, and that team has brought legal challenges to the election results, over 60 times, to no avail. and now, what we're seeing in arizona and, also, some in georgia and pennsylvania. we are seeing audits and we're seeing new inquiries but that is not going to end -- and it's not going to be a new result because these are -- these are still the same numbers that we saw on election night and in the days and weeks to follow. >> and -- and, chris, i have to ask you what you make of this so-called audit that is happening in arizona right now. this quest for bamboo ballots and so on. as somebody who has called elections, every-four years, how nutty is this? >> well, first -- first thing, let me say is i love your heart, alice stewart. >> thank you. >> but the truth is that this

did you see any of bearing on that outside of arizona? >> sure but there are two ways to attack these voting lieus. one is the statute, which is the voting rights act. the second is the constitutional treatment, equal treatment, equal process, not discriminating. if you look at, for example, the justice department's recent lawsuit in georgia it makes both statutory and constitutional claims. there are still parts of section two. of course, a lot of these will be fact-bound questions in these state laws. so, you know, it certainly is not good news for the people who are challenging these statute, but it's not the end of the road. >> natasha, your reaction this morning? >> it's very disturbing, disappointing. the bottom line is we're seeing the voting rights act that was passed because people had to actually force it to get passed in 1965. so the two provisions that give teeth to the voting rights act were section 5 and section 2. section 2 is the premise in which in what we're seeing right now that the doj is going to sue georgia. what is

arizona has changed. we've gone from a deep red state to a now more blue state. some people call it purple. i'm optimistic. i see it blue. and we're not going to do anything different. we're going to continue to engage the voters and know -- and have them know their rights. because at the end of the day that's what it's going to be about. them knowing their rights and making sure they come out and vote. >> i mean, going door to door is not easy when it's 110 there in phoenix. but let's talk on the federal level here, i mean, a lot of people are saying the only thing that can happen now is getting the john lewis voting rights advancement act passed. that can really only happen if there's a filibuster. is that something you support? >> well, look, here in arizona we are sending a message that we need every single option on the table because this is the fight of our lifetime. the for the people act and the john lewis act are extremely important to protect democracy as we know it. so we're asking our senators to make sure to keep every single option on the table. and

he saw a 2-1 arizona lead in the 4th. then flores went yard. a two run shot gave the giants the lead. okay, fine. in the home half of the inning josh redding got all of it. that two run homer gave the lead back to the diamond backs. here is a game ending double play. it marked the giants fourth straight loss. it was arizona's night. 5-3 final. so the giants lead in the west has been trimmed by l.a. to a half game. >> right now we are not able to get that one big punch in the most important moment. there needs to be a sense of urgency when we are not winning baseball games. we have that urgency. [ indiscernible ] it was not our best baseball from any angle. >> before the game buster posey was voted the starting catcher for the national league all-star team. seventh selection for posey. fifth time he has been elect add starter. he will was the only giant voted in by the fans. the reserves will be announced on sunday. the all-star game is july 13th. >>> lets join pitcher shawn who warmed up for the rangers yesterday pick. joey gallo, when he gets

maricopa is arizona's most populous county. county supervisors there reportedly got texts and phone calls as votes were being counted and later as the votes were being contested. here are two of those voice mails from rudy giuliani, one to clint hickman, who is the chair of the maricopa county chair of supervisors at the time, and another to bill gates. the music you'll hear underneath the call was added by the arizona republic in their online story. >> this is rudy giuliani. i was very happy to see this is going to be forensic audit of the machines. i really wanted to talk to you about it. the president wanted me to give you a call, all right? thank you. give me a call back. i would really appreciate. hello. it's rudy giuliani, president trump's lawyer. if you get a chance, would you please give me a call? i have a few things to talk over with you. maybe we can get this thing fixed up. it's a shame republicans are in this situation. i think there may be a nice way to resolve this for everybody. so, give me a call, bill. i'm on

in this case, the arizona fraudit. my next guest lives in maricopa county. that's where it's being conducted. a two-time trump voter. a well-known voice in phoenix. he was for this cyberninja count, initially. but now, he is against it. i want to talk to mr. broomhead -- real name -- because i want to talk about what's happening there. but more importantly, what does he believe needs to change? next. no, he's not in his room. ♪ dad, why didn't you answer your phone? your mother loved this park. ♪ she did. what's on the horizon? the answers lie beyond the roads we know. we recognize that energy demand is growing, and the world needs lower carbon solutions to keep up. at chevron, we're working to find new ways forward, like through our venture capital group. backing technologies like electric vehicle charging, carbon capture and even nuclear fusion. we may not know just what lies ahead, but it's only human... to search for it. >>> we are about to learn a whole lot more about what the cyber ninjas are up to with that so-called audit in arizona. the house ov

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

most arizona voters, the majority of arizona voters believe that. they don't support this ongoing fake audit. they see it for the sham that it is. and they are tired of these political games. they want leaders who are going to put the partisan games aside and get to work on real issues we're facing, funding our schools, investing in infrastructure, rebuilding the economy. that's why i'm running for governor and folks can join me at katiehobbs.org. >> president biden is reportedly more at odds with leaders of the voting rights movement. they don't think his words are squaring with his willingness to push congress to pass legislation. do you think they're doing enough? >> the bottom line is that we need to have action taken at the federal level to protect access to the ballot for all americans here in arizona and across the country. we're seeing unprecedented attacks on americans' right to vote. and we can fix that with federal legislation. and i think this is an all hands on deck moment to do that. >> all right, katie hobbs, thank you so much for joi

arizona is a very, very lenient state on firearms. i've been a firearms owner my entire life, and i like the laws in arizona. i think we have a very safe city here in phoenix, and i think we've proven just because you have lenient laws for law-abiding gun owners that it doesn't make your place more dangerous to live. maybe that one. >> hold on, let's go one at a time. i am a gun owner, by the way. you probably didn't know that. most of you guys don't. but do you believe that all sales should be checked to make sure that people who are getting them should get them? >> i think most of the sales already are, but, yeah i don't have an issue with checking to make sure people are legal gun owners. i think a better way to solve the problem is theid databases that are used when they do the background checks should be updated. >> i agree. do you think people who don't -- first of all, you've got to do better with the paperwork like you just said. do you think people that don't get secure their firearms and they get used in a crime should be ch

"an audit of nearly 2.1 million ballots cast in arizona in the 2020 election. we are concerned about your company's role in this highly unusual effort given cyberninjas' lack of experience. reports the company engaged in sloppy and insecure practices that compromised the integrity of ballots and voting equipment and were questioned by the u.s. justice department. and evidence that you and aol individuals funding the audit have sought to advance the big lie of debunked voter fraud allegations about the 2020 presidential election. americans' right to vote is protected by the constitution. it is the cornerstone of our democratic system of government. the committee seeks to determine whether the privately funded audit conducted by your company in arizona protects the right to vote or is instead an effort to promote baseless conspiracy theories, undermine confidence in america's elections and reverse the results of a free and fair election for partisan gain." what do you really mean? the so-called audit in arizona in which the republicans in the state legislature hi

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

no votes in arizona were counted twice. yet republicans in other states are pushing for similar ninja-style propaganda audits. it's not about fraud. it's about democratic votes. let's look at texas. republican state representative steve toath has been calling for an audit of larger counties that went for biden. asked if he was going for smaller counties? he said what's the point? all the small counties are red. all the small counties are red. not even hiding the agenda behind this anti-democratic push. it's an attempt at suppressing votes purely because those are not republican votes and because a lot of them are cast by people who are not white. just because you live in a democratic district or state doesn't mean this doesn't affect you, if this affects one of us in this nation, it affects all of us. if you have never had a problem like i never had a problem, that's great. that should be the way it is for all americans. that's what democracy is about. as long as there are barriers preventing people from voting with ease, w

joining me now is arizona secretary of state katie hobbs. a democratic candidate for arizona governor. to good to see you, secretary. so your attorneys argued to the court that these two measured disenfranchise voters of color and violated section two of the voting rights act. and let me remind people, the provisions would not allow ballots to be cast outside of voter precincts or allowed to have spun else to return a completed ballot. so the supreme court majority ruled against you. what is your reaction to that? >> well, this was an expected outcome. but what this ruling underscores is that urgent need for action at the state and federal level to protect voting rights. and what we're seeing right now is a move across country to go in the opposite direction. and in that context, this decision is very harmful and it is going to make it harder for anyone to be able to challenge discriminatory voting laws. >> and so like you said, this is not just about arizona. there are at least 14 other states that have passed laws restricting voting access

that's something arizona's attorney general argued. >> we want to make sure everyone has want ability to err exercise their franchise but we want to make sure everyone has confidence in the process and they repect the results and that's what these laws are designed to do. >> reporter: liberal justices said the decision undermines the voting rights act because laws like arizona's can be a barrier. president biden said he was deeply upon disappointed in the decision and called on congress to pass new legislation. legislation. at the same time, his justice department is suing one statement, georgia, saying its new voting law intentionally discriminates against black voters. the decision today may make that lawsuits more difficult, and as states pass more restrictive voting laws the message from the justices is clear. >> this is another cipe from the supreme court that these are going to be quintessential political: left to the political branches of the state and it's going to be increasingly difficult to challenge them in court. >> reporter: now, on this last day of the supreme court's t

that is what they are doing an arizona. the second thing is that he say the voting as sacrosanct and so they we should protect. name in the search bar. we will have

in arizona and florida they'll be kicking people off the absentee voting list, in arizona, iowa, florida kentucky utah they'll be expanding voter purges, kicking people off the voter rolls entirely. in florida, arkansas, new hampshire in wyoming there is harsher, stricter narrow voter i.d. requirements. and yes, in florida and georgia they're banning water or any food or snacks for anyone in line no matter how long the line gets, no matter how hot it is that the, no matter how old the waiting voter is. 18 different states, 30 different voter restrictions law and counting, those are past, those are laws. and the effort to find a way to stop it, to try to put a floor under voting rights nationwide so no state can restrict voting rights below that nationwide floor to hold them up, that fight still hinges on the for the people act, which has passed the house and it's stuck in the senate, is still stuck in the senate because of uniform republican opposition to it and the hope the republicans are getting in that effort from democratic senator joe manchin. as we've been reporting for the past c

the so-called, audit, and arizona in which republicans in the state legislature labeled the script cyber ninjas, which appears to be this guy dug, -- we it's lived for months now at this intersection of clown show ridiculousness, and actual consequential threat to american democracy. because the whole thing is aimed at, essentially, undoing the presidential u.s. result in the state. they are, thereby, undermining americans faith and the credibility in the finality of our election results. but now, based on this letter released by the oversight committee tonight sent to that ups store in florida, we know this fake audit is the subject of a new congressional investigation. the oversight committee wants to know about all the weird stuff that doug logan has been doing to the arizona ballots, like shining ultraviolet light on them, or searching for a bamboo content in the ballots, because there's a conspiracy theory that the ballots were mailed in from asia. and they were overseen by joe gun and his own social media posts about it being rigged against donald trump and trump must have gotten 2

. >>> later today, former president trump will hold a rally in arizona. it will take place in maricopa county where a sham election audit has made the state ground zero for trump's big lie. it comes as "the washington post" reports that trump's pac raised $75 million this year. and none of that money has gone to arizona's audit or similar efforts in other states. despite trump saying that they are key to overturning the election that he falsely claims was stolen from him. here's cnn's sunlen serfaty. >> reporter: former president donald trump. >> we were doing so well until the rigged election happened to come along. >> reporter: remaining fixated on the baseless claims of election fraud pushing hard for state ballot reviews of the 2020 election results. in a steady stream of public statements and comments, promoting the so-called audit of maricopa county ballots in arizona. >> i want to congratulate, by the way, republican state senators in arizona and other places for their great work. that they are doing and exposing this fraud. >> reporter: but privat

i've been talking about arizona and pennsylvania. but you know this well. this kind of nonsense is actually going on in michigan as well. >> it most unfortunately is. our legislature has been considering legislation for the last few months. there's been efforts to have similar activities to what's going on in arizona. they have not been successful to date. those efforts have been unsuccessful. there has been no evidence of any kind of conspiracy or falsehood. there are definitively just by many of the other states trying to make it harder in this state. i fear that they may be successful before it ends. >> i get the motivations are sinister, the problem i'm seeing is i'm talking to republicans, mainstream normal republicans who i don't think are subject to conspiracy theories who say the goal here is to make voting safer and more accessible. it's the language the arizona republicans are using, it's the language that the law firm representing pennsylvania republicans are using, that this is men to improve and make voting more robust. in michigan, you have a

ward targeted arizona election officials with a pressure campaign, according to "the arizona republic." but inlike in georgia where the gop secretary of state recorded a call with the president, the keymar -- key maricopa county election official refused to speak to trump. ron brownstein joins us. why are these latest revelations significant to you? >> happy fourth to you and everybody watching. i think there are two real important conclusions that come out of these revelations in arizona. one is that we simply do not know all the ways in which donald trump used and abused his power as president. it just underscores the need for a more comprehensive understanding of what he did in office. and all of the ways in which he may have gone beyond the proper boundaries of the use of presidential power, especially given that he may ask the country to restore it to him again in a little over three years. i was talking to our colleague john dean a couple of weeks ago for a story i was writing. he noted that when nixon left office, we had so much of a better idea of everything that had happened

the certification stopped when they got to arizona. host: of course when the select committee does meet, which could begin as early as later this month after the july 4 recess, c-span will be your source of covering the select committee. if you are listening on c-span radio, we are asking should republicans serve on this committee? speaker pelosi making the announcement yesterday of her choices of democrats and one republican, liz cheney. she explained the mission and the priority moving forward. speaker pelosi: it is important for you to know what our purpose is for this. that is the findings of the legislation speak to the testimony for the director of the fbi when he basically said there were more deaths on domestic terrorism then from global terrorism in our country. the department of homeland security with concerns that are out there. all of these institutions talking about -- i hate to go there and it's what they had said in terms of white supremacy , anti-semitism, islamophobia. all of these attitudes that have contributed to wh

let's find out what this means not just for arizona, but also for the rest of the country. fox news chief legal correspond, anchor of "fox news @ night," shannon bream joins us this evening. good evening, shannon. >> good evening, bret. the court wrapped up its term today with two contentious 6-3 decisions along ideological lines as the public pressure on justice breyer to retire heats up. >> at the national debate over state election laws rages, the supreme court upheld two key provisions of arizona's election framework. opponents say it's aimed at suppressing minority voters. arizona discards ballots when voters cast them in the wrong precinct and bands ballot harvesting or allowing a third-party to collect and deliver someone else's vote. the majority found that neither violated section two of the voting rights act and that the ballot harvesting ban "was not enacted with a racially discriminatory purpose." in her dissent, justice kagan took aim at the majority, accusing them of rewriting the law "in order to weaken a statute that stands as a minute to america's greatness

do you agree the decision in arizona makes it very unlikely for the d.o.j. to be able to draw in court? >> i think the supreme court's decision was very strong and consistent with the constitution and voting rights act. what's interesting is the department of justice knew about this pending supreme court case and get they made the decision to go ahead and bring their lawsuit weeks ago knowing there would be a decision on the very question they are suing over imminently which seems to me to suggest was going on with the department of justice's they wanted to make a public relations/ahead of the storm cream court decision because if they were dramatic trying to win the lawsuit the way i think they should have handled it was wait for the supreme court to issue rulings layout new standards or whatever it is and then file foster and comply the supreme court decision but they didn't do that, they put it in front of the course and that is coming because it seems to me the lawsuit the biden administration brought against georgia may be more about public relations to
