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

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

these, and i do put them in air quotes, "audits" because it's not a real audit what's happening in arizona, and that's just a factual statement. he's encouraging more of those kinds of situations to happen in other places around the country, as we saw in arizona, those things take time. that's not a two-week process, right? that has dragged on for months. what is the potential impact on 2022 for example if you have other states like texas, maybe, beginning efforts like what we've seen in arizona? >> you know, i'm sorry, hallie, i missed part of your -- the danger generally about these audits is that even though they take a lot of time, they still incredibly raise more doubts and the actual results of the audit are also in question. you may remember there were some interesting companies that were working on this, that didn't have any expertise in balloting or electioneering and it raises all doubts about the integrity of the election and yet it also when you get the final answer from whomever it is that's hired by that particular state, there's a question about whether or not we're really g

most notably, the preposterous brought it going on in arizona. all of that propaganda has had the intended effect on his target populous. 86% of republicans see by mail increases voter fraud. 79% are not confident in the national vote count. perhaps most alarming is the number at the bottom. 46% of republicans that think state legislatures should override their states popular vote. today, we have an actual example in the news of a colossal election administration screw up in the bluest of blue areas. in the democratic primary in the very democratic city of new york city, involving the mayoral race. you should know, the board of elections in new york city which oversees elections, is one of the most notoriously incompetent election administration units in the country. in 2013, the city's department of investigation released a 72-page report on the board of elections detailing incompetence and misconduct. in 2016, in the midst of the democratic presidential primary between hillary clinton and bernie sanders, a member of the board mistakenly removed

this is not new in arizona, either. i mean, we have seen accusations, false accusations in a lot of different places for a while. the reality is that, as we continue to improve our systems and protect the voters of arizona, and expand the way that people vote, the access they have, some people will be afraid of what's happen. it's the fear in the far right, the fear in some extremists, that fear is manifesting into this willingness to believe just about anything for comfort. it's too bad, because americans, particularly arizonaarizonaens, not a fearful bunch. most of what has been spouted out is just not true, and it's unfortunate. >> you used your twitter feed to stay away from the rally yesterday, but as you are campaigning around the state, you're talking to people who still choose to follow trump. do you discover they have genuine concerns? or are they more part of this trumpian fan base? >> there's genuine concerns. donald trump was the president of the united states for a kermit. >> a lot of the interactions i've

so, pete, let's go with the arizona case first. and i want to start with there were two parts challenged. one had to do with the collection of ballots, the other had to do with this idea if you voted in the wrong precinct what would happen to those ballots? was there any thought of splitting those two? did the challengers at all, you know, sometimes they'll make an argument, look, if you're going to uphold that this is more egregious, the throwing away of ballots was more egregious. any attempt to split that? >> no, not really. i mean, there was different analysis during the challenges about the effect they have on voters but what justice alito says in his majority opinion, any time you change the vogt rules it imposes some kind of burden on somebody somehow. and there's always been a burden to voting. he says you got to get up, go to the poll, apply for a ballot. you got to put it in the mailbox. those are all to some extent inconveniences so the test, he says, under the voting rights act is what kind of disparity does that create

is the pbs newshour from weta studios in washington, and the walter cronkite school of journalism at arizona state university. ♪ judy: as we reported, haiti is leading an international investigation into the assassinatioof president jovenel moise. john yang has the latest. john: judy, the investigation is generating as many questions as answers. the 15 colombian nationals under arrest are former members of that nation's armed forces. eleven of them were captured after breaking in to the taiwanese embassy in haiti. meanwhile, the political storm is intensifying with competing prime ministers claiming the right to run the country. afr moise was assassinated, prime minister claude joseph announced a fifteen day state of siege. but a new prime minister appointed by moise -- ariel henry -- was supposed to have taken over that very day and says he's the rightful ruler. to help us try to sort through this, we are joined by pamela white, a former u.s. ambassador to haiti. and garry pierre pierre, the founder of the haitian times, a newspaper serving the haitian diaspora. thank you to both of you f

joining me is arizona congressman ruben. congressman, donald trump praising the arizona state senate for its audit of the election in maricopa county. >> i think the result will be so outrageous. you have already seen some of them come that they will go many steps further. is every one here fully understands the 2020 election was a total disgrace. it was the most corrupt. >> i'm curious what surprises you more. that is he is still singing his same old tired song or that the crowd is cheering so much? what kind of message is it all sending? >> the message is number one, donald trump is a loser. he's a sore loser. you have to be a pretty bad politician in order for you to lose as an incumbent president and he's not accepting that. unfortunately, i think his cult following is still dealing with that. secondly, it tells you this republican party is not a party of ideas. it's now a person, a cult of personality. they are just going to follow his lies all the way until the end. it's not working. last night, if anything, he lost mo

they just upheld your law there in arizona. how far will your case go, do you think, as precedent as other states raise this issue? >> well, i'm very proud of the fact that i personally order that case brnovich vs. the dnc. the department of justice the left is trying to take on undermine election measures. the state court said ensure the integrity of their elections and confidence in their results. the left is cherry picking states. they don't go amp states connect cut, new york, all that's northeast states that actually have more restrictive laws arizona does. so, really, todd, they are being so hypocritical and i want electric actually inconsistent. if the democrats want to do something about voter and franchising more voters go after democratic strongholds with more restrictive rules and less early voting than states like arizona? jillian: well, to the point that you just made, go ahead and take a listen to what democratic panelists have to say about this. >> now you are forcing minorities to decide whether or not they are

welcome to the show. >> thank you. >> shannon: the arizona republic has a piece. the black national anthem played before every game. they asked the question, the majority of nfl players are black. it is meaningful. it should be played. >> i see there's only one national anthem. it's a shame to see the radical left and other woke corporations try to divide and conquer us based on race, class, gender, whatever it is that day. the national anthem is always been something that's united us. as a former nfl player myself, i take this personally. standing there side-by-side with my teammates, you can imagine watching that flag wave in the anthem played, that was one of the highlights of my football career. it's always united us as americans. what we shouldn't have, one national anthem for one group and one for others. there is one national anthem. where one country, all americans. >> shannon: this is just part of the nfl's broader effort. they say the next ten years are going to commit to $250 million to fighting racism in america. they want to expand what they're doing

" from w eta studios in washington and in the west from the walter cronkite studio of journalism at arizona state university. judy: the u.s. is on the verge of completing a unilateral and unconditional withdrawal from afghanistan, nearly 20 years after it invaded, and the outgoing u.s. military commander has delivered a stark warning about the future of the country. nick schifrin is back right now, and he joins me. good to have you with us to talk about this. what are military leadersaying they believe could happen? nick: this is perhaps as blunt and pessimistic statement as the military has ever made about afghanistan.it's the first time the biden administration or military has publicly acknowledged the ultimate risk of this withdrawal. this is general scott miller, the u.s. commander in kabul, saying civil war is certainly a path that can be visualized if this continues on the trajectory it is on right now. that should be a concern to the world, and it is a concern to the region, for creating an environment where there is even more violence than there is today. what is behind this warning

joining me now for a reaction to all this, arizona attorney general, mark byrne of h. attorney general, thanks for joining us. this is an outright disaster, can, congrats on the big win. we have a place we can turn in our ballots, are you ready for? it's called a voting location. i know it's crazy, and it's worked for a long time. this is a huge win. explain what it means for the rest of the country where this is happening in other places. >> think you for having me on. it's quite frankly as simple as this, the democratic national committee and other left-wing groups have systematically tried to file lawsuits against the state and simply shortly before elections so they can use their organizations to manipulate the boat. they challenge arizona's limitations on out of precinct voting and about harvesting, they essentially said they were racist, unconstitutional and violated the voting rights act. we had a ten day trial, we defended those statutes, and we won. the ninth circuit overturned that -- i know, i'm going to get a complaint. the lefties are filing bar complaints

then came this challenge to arizona's supreme court. the law requires election officials to throw away ballots cast at the wrong precinct. you have two voting areas, two places to vote, you go to the wrong one, vote there, woops, it gets thrown out. it makes it a crime for anyone to collect and deliver ballots to polling places other than family members. we know this had a disparate impact. they found tossing ballots cast in the wrong precinct has the effect of undercounting minority votes by a factor of 2 to 1. allowing someone else to drop off a ballot is particularly important for indigenous communities in arizona. today the supreme court's conservative majority said all of that stuff is fine. i could give you the legal reasoning but here's the real reasoning. they and all other parts of the right are working in tandem against america's multi-racial democracy. now donald trump's version of that is more vulgar, cringe inducing whipping up a mob to go beat up cops and chant hang mike pence and storm the capitol and go marauding to find

joining us now, arizona's attorney general mark brenda bra fitch. the fact that the supreme court upheld the arizona voting law. >> thank you for having me on. i think it's a great date for the constitution, the rule of law and anyone who believes in voter integrity and that's really what this case was about. and the resounding answer is yes. >> mr. attorney general on that point, democrats claim these voting bills are all about restricting the right of minorities and racial discrimination. republicans insist that it's really about preserving states rights as measured up against federal rights here when it comes to setting building regulations. what do you believe it's at the core here or is it possible that there is room for a bit of both? >> i was fortunate enough to not only bring this case but argued the case and what this case was always about where these common sense integrity measures and at the end of the day the hypocrisy of the left is being fully exposed because they essentially want to nationalize elections. we see that with s1 and hp on

former arizona national guard general and arizona senate candidate michael maguire joins us now to react. michael, thank you so much for being here. we see these images. we see these numbers. you're running for office to do something about it what needs to be done now to deal with this situation? >> good morning, pete. >> pete: good morning. >> thanks for having me. what needs to be done right now is we need to secure the border. we need to build the wall. provide money to surgeon the guard to the border. biden is derelict in his duty, not doing that and you can see 147 of 200 are nearly three to one this is organized by the cartels. it's what we have been saying for the last four months. it's human trafficking and drugs at the southwest border. our communities are less safe. border security is much more than national security, it's human security. pete: the federal government we have seen is not not building the wall. they are taking it down or stopping the construction of it what more should states be doing? >> well, what we did here just prior to my retirement as the commanding genera

people think it's a texas problem or an arizona problem. isn't this is the tentacles of crime and all of the things it brings into our country. this is national. this is going national and affecting us nationally. >> this is a national problem. laura, thanks to fox news for putting a light on this problem. when you see this problem firsthand and see the video, you can't help but to think this is happening in our border. but we are hundreds of miles away from this. this is a symptom of the border issue and our national policy where we have no security at the border. >> laura: do you think biden and company want the border to be closed to the people who are crossing the border now? do you think they want to fix this problem? >> no. >> laura: we are wasting our time talking about what should happen, right? >> that's right. we have to keep messaging on this and putting the bright lights on the implications of this. this is not just a border problem. this is creeping into every town and state nationwide. these illegals and their children are bei
