sinema: the 2020 arizona election was a success. not for any one party or individual but as a demonstration of the will of the voters. a record 80% of registered voters separated thanks to local arizona election officials who ensured our system worked and our laws were upheld. arizona has offered early voting for more than 100 years and our vote by mail system includes strict safeguards. all ballots include tracking mechanisms and tamper resistant envelopes. election staff are trained to authenticate signatures. and arizona imposes severe criminal punishments for ballot tampering. the arizona election produced bipartisan results in which members of both parties won races and these results have been confirmed by stakeholders across the political spectrum. the republican chairman of the maricopa county board of supervisors said no matter how you voted, this election was administered with integrity, transparency, and in accordance with arizona state laws. the republican speaker of the arizona state house rejected calls for the legislat

and a number of senate democrats are trying to pressure the senior senators from west virginia and arizona to abandon their own very recent commitments to honor the central rule of the senate. now, mr. president, the framers designed the senate to require deliberation, to force cooperation, and to ensure that federal laws in our big, diverse country earned broad enough buy-in to receive the lasting consent of the governed. james madison said the senate should be a complicated check against improper acts of legislation. thomas jefferson said great innovation should not be forced on slender majorities. senate democrats parroted all these arguments when they were the ones benefiting from minority protection. when president trump pressed republicans to kill the filibuster, our democrat colleagues cried foul. and when our republican majority stood on principle and refused to wreck the rules, our democratic colleagues happily used the filibuster themselves. in some cases, they flat-out blocked legislation like senator tim scott's police reform bill. in many other cases, democrats did what minori

katie, how about arizona? arizona's had vote by mail for many years, but did you make any changes in light of covid? katie: well, our top priority and the top priority of my administration has always been to increase voters' ability to participate in democracy. and so, that didn't change with covid, it became more pressing because on top of ensuring that we were expanding that access, we wanted to make sure that voters didn't have to choose between that participation and their health and safety. and so, vote by mail was a key component of what we did in terms of the election and the pandemic and voter safety. so we've had no excuse absentee voting in arizona since the early 1990s, and voters in arizona can either request a one-time early ballot for whichever election they prefer, or they can sign up for our permanent early voting list. and about 75% of registered voters of both parties are on that permanent early voting list, so they're sent a ballot by mail for every election that they're eligible to vote in.

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.

our country needs it, arizona needs it. with those numbers being so horrible -- [indiscernible chanting] thank you. there is sad for our country. the whole world laughs at us. afghanistan. with all of those numbers, arizona was in my opinion the least corrupt of the other swing states. i think it was the least corrupt. it was so corrupt, they use the word determinative. for instance, if you had 300 dead people voting, but you need 10,000 votes, i cannot even talk about that. we have a determinative result, many times over. it was reported that 43,000 absentee valid votes were counted in dekalb county, georgia that violated the chain of custody rules. 43,000. georgia was decided by only 11,000 votes. in other words, i needed 11,779 and they have 40,000 here, 20,000 here. there were many other infractions. the secretary of state and governor, who i got elected by giving him an endorsement, thank you very much. absolutely refused to do anything about it. it hurt our party in country very badly. kemp was in last place when i en

and georgia at the presidential level, and not have a single senator from either arizona or georgia does strike me as interesting. and, if we think about how colorado was once a pretty solidly republican leaning state. california, certainly. there seems to be an erosion of the sunbelt. is that right? michael: there has been a movement which trump amplified, increased, of the two parties' appeal to different demographic groups. if you want to bill percival oversimplify it, republicans have lost the support of college graduates, relative affluent people and has gained support of downscale americans. recently, the republican party has gained strength in the south and lost strength in the north. those changes have gone on for a long period of time. the republicans won pluralities of the popular vote of the house of representatives in the north going back to 1966 and 1968. they have been winning majorities of the house of representatives in most election starting in 1994, but they have only one time have they won a plurality of the popular vote in the northern states. but, they've had bi

there is a national pond he meant, a beautiful place in southern arizona that -- arizona. if you have a chance, please go. it is spectacular. for the late bush in early obama administration, the park was closed to the public because there was so much unauthorized traffic there. and the dangers of those encounters. as things calmed down during the middle part of the obama administration, they were able to open that park up. it is now still open, but the crossings, the folks in that area, are beginning to worry about an increase in the crossings again. those sorts of areas, they feel -- when i made my first trip to the border, it is a weird story, i came back and i was not able to write a story about it because i cannot figure out how to communicate to folks in a broader audience what i had seen, because it was so different. we sat in a ranch house and watched massive groups of hundreds of people streaming across this ranch property. that was a completely different issue than what you see now with families and whatnot. that was mostly single adults, mexicans coming across. n

last week, i called school superintendents in florida and arizona, to thank them for doing the right thing and requiring masks in their schools. one of them said we teach science, so we follow the science. the other said, they have a guiding principle, students first. i couldn't agree more with what they both said. that is why today i am directing the secretary of education, an educator himself to take the steps to protect our children. that includes using all his oversight authorities and legal , action if appropriate, against governors who are trying to block and intimidate local school officials and educators. if you are not going to fight covid-19, at least get out of the way. we are not going to sit by as governors tried to block and intimidate educators protecting our children. for example, if a governor wants to cut the pay of a hard-working education leader who requires masks in the classroom, the money from the american rescue plan can be used to pay that person's salary, 100%. i'm going to say more about children in schools next week. as we head into the school year, rememb

another misunderstanding in the arizona art it is you have -- arizona -- in the arizona audit is you have workers who, in the presence of both parties, transcribe the legitimate vote of the ballot onto a new ballot to make sure it is counted correctly. the third claim is sort of the vague claim made that it looks like there is something weird happening. so there was the allegation about votes being delivered to different places, delivery truck drivers or other instances where coal workers said there -- where poll workers said there was something odd they couldn't understand. it is impossible to stop these sorts of rumors from spreading. the best way to combat them is to combat them, make easily available information available about how elections are administered. it is impossible to stop these conspiracies once they are out there. that's why it is all the more important to have candidates endorsed the results of the election. -- endorse the results of the election. it is difficult to unring the bell about questioning the results of the election, because people will believe what they

so the recounts in arizona has been flawed already. they found that the seal has been broken, where there were supposed to be 200 votes in there, there are only 150. so there is fraud. thank you. host:, rissman, any thoughts? -- congressman, any thoughts? guest: number one, i don't know that we know -- certainly know the thing i have been in has attribute of the perpetrator of the cyberattack. yes, the russians unfortunately do have a history of this type of behavior in the past, going back to the 2014 olympics, i think. so there is a historical precedent, and i think the gentleman is correct, you don't want fraud in your elections, and we want people to be confident in the election results. so in order to do that, you need to assure people that everything was counted and counted correctly, and here are the results available for all to see. host: do you think that there was enough fraud to overturn the outcome of the election the? guest: the gentleman just brought up the point that if you are showing that there is a fraudulent result i

to latinos in arizona. it's because of what happened in arizona the last 10 to 15 years with sb 1070, the anti-immigrant bill, and the organizing from young people who grew up in that time. they were the ones who delivered arizona to joe biden. i think there is a sense of what is happening now with democrats. the latinos are really -- they are putting democrats and trying to hold them accountable. if you look at all the views on joe biden right now, which i think is interesting, the group with the biggest drop in support for joe biden, and this was done by 538, which has all the biden rankings and popularity polls -- the biggest group that has dropped, it has been latinos. that says a lot about how this community is still misunderstood, there are issues with both parties, and democrats can really begin to tap into that. latinos could be there for life for democrats. i do not think they are there, and we spend a lot of time criticizing that. sometimes we get in trouble, but that is what you are supposed to d

one representative was objecting to the arizona state of electors. basically shut it out at the top of my lungs, "this is because of you!" i screamed it. and i think i was representing four years of angst and anxiety and anger. many of thus saw this coming a mile away. i probably represented millions of americans who felt the same way at that very moment. the entire country, including myself, recognized the fragility of our democracy. i have great appreciation for the traditions of the congress and decorah. i do not like to violate it. what i do not regret it. because it was what i was feeling, it was four years of pent-up anxiety about what was transpiring before our eyes. announcer: this week, he will also hear from democrat jamie raskin of maryland

when i was growing up in arizona, my grandparents subscribe to the arizona republic, but also the arizona informant, which is a black owned newspaper to get news more connected to our community. because of those relationships throughout the campaign, our chairwoman wants to continue the engagement effort, they want me to stay on and do this work and i am proud to now author a weekly column in the newspaper in north carolina giving my conservative opinion in this black newspaper. that is what i do. i am engaging with the black community through media to highlight the things that the trump administration that was doing that was positively impacting the community and republicans in congress that what they were doing was positively impacting the community. now this new season we are in with the democrats controlling the house, the senate, as well as the white house, it is part of my job to articulate all of the things i think the black community should know that might be something not covered in the major news, that might not be of great benefit to our community from a republican and conserva
