it was the first law that passed in arizona. it's the same test that every new naturalized american citizen has to take. it's 100 questions. everybody in here would score a very high score on it. you would need remember where you learned this stuff because it just happened to your entire education. well today in arizona you can't get aho high school diploma and let you pass the american civics act. we have been able to build on that with the civic celebration day as well. i thinknk karen taylor robeson s an audience. she was a regent in arizona and she put together the regions cup so weto have that competition at the collegiate level as well. and i think those are three ideas that we been able to bring to life in the state of arizona that will make our young people that are citizens, better prepared for what's next after school and also things that can be applied elsewhere. >> thank you.. governor haslam? >> first of all thank you to the hutchinson sprouting is here. it's really fun to be with you and is great to be with doug an

i registered as an arizona independent.isa who covers capitol hill for pbs news tweeting out big news as we have seen. she is no longer a democrat but independent. i asked her team if she would caucus with dams. she does not attend their weekly meetings now. this is a quote from our office, she intends to maintain her committee assignments through the democratic majority. then you have this tweet from kyrsten sinema as we showed you, you can go to her twitter handle to find the video. bridget everett who writes for politico, senator sinema is switching her party affiliation from dem to independent. she says in any interview i do not anticipate anything would change about the senate structure. she had she is not talking about whether she is running for reelection in 2024. then you have kevin robillard for the huffington post, the idea progressives chased cinema out of the party as silly. progressives in arizona lined up to bakker in 2018 she spent the next six years ignoring them entirely is what he reports. one more before

that's why we're doing what we are doing here in arizona.matters across the country and around the world. folks, as we see here in phoenix, the united states is a top destination for companies across the globe looking to make investments because we have a world-class, highly skilled, committed workforce. union labor. [applause] you can clap for that. more than 3000 union workers are helping build this fab. the second fab was built with union labor as well. we are working with companies, community colleges, technical schools, universities, union-led apprentice and training programs. i had a conversation with the business roundtable, all the major chambers of commerce, the reason why business should be hiring union folks is simple, they are the best in the world. they are the single greatest technicians. they are the best laborers in the world. and you build the best products. but it takes four or five years of hard work as an apprentice. instead of going to college. you are the best trained workers in the world. wall street did not build this

so that's the arizona teachers academy. the last thing i would say is you really have an opportunity as a governor to affect the governing boards. the people you put on the board of regents because most important decision they will make in addition to helping our university president is to select that next university president. we have a real force of nature in the arizona state university. all across the nation and what he's done for asu but we have had five university presidents in 11 years at the university of arizona. so wanted to think outside the box with the traditional recruiters and i think our first big win was when we were able to grab dr. bobby robbins from the texas medical center, he was a stanford trained thoracic surgeon leading the medical center and he wanted to be a university president and i think we've seen this and other leaders like mitch daniels at purdue and what a difference they can make at the university level. you may not be able to pick that person directly like you can is superior court judge

arizona is lucky to have you fighting for the state and gabby gifford as well.n i gave gabby the presidential medal of freedom this summer i said she was one of the most courageous people that i've ever known. and people elected her three times because they trusted here and embodiment of the core american trait never ever ever ever give up and she never does. [applause] >> and i want to thank senator sinema, she can't be here today, out in washington working on another piece of legislation and advocate for arizona and so many issues important to this state. four of arizona's representatives with me, rube ban, greg, tom and where are you guys? and we flew out together. they're still talking to me. anyway, thank you, gentlemen, very much for all you've done to get us here today and champions for the constituents working to build an economy that doesn't leave anyone behind, doesn't leave anyone behind. gina raimondo is a secretary of commerce, and especially with semiconductors. i want to thank you and the business leaders today. and tim cook of apple, where are yo

commend his advocate for the people of arizona. four of arizona's representatives are here today. where are you guys? we flew out together. they are still talking to me. thank you gentlemen for all you have done to get us here today. champions for their constituents working to build an economy that does not leave anyone behind. gina raimondo is an outstanding secretary of commerce, a fierce check in of u.s. industry. i want to thank you and the business leaders here today. tim cook of apple. he buys a few of these little chips. he is a small customer here at this outfit between 25 and 30%. anyway i hope they are treating you well. macron. -- micron. you are here today because you are seeing what we are all seeing. american manufacturing as back. [applause] i recently took a trip literally around the world starting in egypt and ending up in guam and finally coming home. ending with a meeting in indonesia for the g20. countries with many of the largest economies of the world. what was clear is the united states is better position than any other nation to lead the world economy if we

arizona has 525 charter schools.e have over 230,000 kids that are already in those charter schools. that's nearly 20% of our student population. and those kids are excelling in our state. we have had the ground and for school choice. in this last session of our legislature, we were able to pass universal, educational savings accounts. [applause] and it took all of 8 years to get that done. that was an idea that animated my campaign in 2014. it something we tried and tried, and it was persistence and also good luck in circumstances, also being in the final session with your name on the ballot and saying i am not going to sign any budget until we get educational savings accounts, was something we were able to bring forward. every parent in our state can now access their taxpayer dollars to whatever use they wanted for. from catholic schools to parochial schools, to private schools to homeschooling, to micro schooling, tuition, tutors, textbooks. it's wide open. we had a version of educational savings accounts in place

arizona.elcome you both to democracy now! myles, talk about what many describe as a monstrosity along the border. two shipping containers hi going on for how far and what parts of the border and what is happening to the land around it and then we will talk about the migrants. >> thank you, amy. currently, 3.5 miles of shipping containers that began at coronado nationa memorial, which is a national park service and its property. they snake through the forest and this happens to be federal land owned by the federal government this is in critical habitat for the endangered jaguar. in addition to that, the endangered ocelot which the northernmost population lies just 30 miles to the south. the environmental consequences in regards to wildlife and wild of migration and conductivity could not be more severe and this particular location, which has exceptionally high biodiversity and probably arguably some of the highest in the west as far as number of species and endangered species on the coronado na

the fact that she ignores arizona., what we stand for, i think that's why she's in the predicament she is right now. she has to run, because she can't win a primary. >> yeah, it does seem her favorite, favorability ratings among their, among the democrats, i think the latest polling we had had her at 36% among republicans, 41% among independents. what is striking there is that it's not actually a very good overall, favorable rating. it's not like she's crushing it with independents or republicans either, it is sort of low across the board. it's 37% favorable, 54% unfavorable. the calculation here does seem a kind of, you know, game of chicken. which is this, okay, i can't survive a democratic primary. if i run as an independent, you possibly split the vote, and you pave the way for a republican to win. i know you seem confident that's not gonna happen. but it's a state where that's the kind of thing that seems could happen, given how narrow and closely contested the state 's? >> well, i don't scare easily, never have a

the arizona democratic party censured h.the party issued a scathing statement saying that "she has shown she answers to corporations and billionaires." the way a lot of people here are seeing this move, one political watcher probably put it best. he said, senator sinema's move today was the equivalent of breaking up with a partner before they break up with you. judy: really interesting to get that much criticism from the democrats. stephanie, how do her politics now fit in to arizona's politics? stephanie: remember, judy, that kyrsten sinema won her senate seat here in arizona, becoming the first democrat in decades to win a senator's seat by saying she would be the independent voice of arizona, and she has continued to parrot that phrase in her media interviews with local reporters today. she said what she is doing reflects where arizona voters are. to some degree, that is seen in the statistics. let me show you how arizona voters break down. the most number of registered voters are with the republican party, but the second

basement protesting arizona's horrific anti immigrant law. and at the time, even people in the democratic party, i was an activist at the time, even people in the democratic party was saying that immigrants would never turn out to vote for us, so opposing this in the way that you might want us to, and it was grassroots organizations, including some of us from outside of the state that really helped to build over a decade, a different kind of electoral majority. and that is what you see, stacey abrams vote, black lives matter, that did the same thing over the course of a decade to say that the real possibility here is expanding the electorate, getting young people excited. so, i think that in arizona, this is going to be a difficult election if it is a three-way race. but i really think that i have a lot of faith and the voters of arizona to understand who is going to vote, who is going to work for them, and we will see what the next two years bring. >> it feels like it is a dare almost from sinema. i know that you may not like me, i know that

tens of thousands of jobs to arizona.k about that right now than kyrsten sinema. voters as you know chuck will forgive a lot of things but hypocrisy as that is shown right there is tough for them to get over. now tester said, functioning from a functioning standpoint, nothing changes. as you pointed out she votes with democrats 93% of the time. i don't see this fundamentally changing any of what chuck schumer does in the senate any different than before she switched. >> let's talk 2024. arizona, there is a good pattern you can see here which is the party that is divided loses races. okay? democrats, sinema, kelly, arguably hobbes didn't have a serious challenger and they won. the republicans with the tougher primary challenge, and we've seen it in reverse. what's going to happen? >> well, look. i think this move was the politically shrewed move on her part and really the only move she had if she wanted to get through a democratic primary in my view. the democratic party attacking her as being a show for corporations when

that didn't stop arizona this week from certifying the will of the arizona voters which was to electhe democratic governor, katie hobbs, the woman on the left, and mark kelly. honestly did carrie lake look at herschel walker's defeat in georgia and say, hold my beer, i can do worse republicans! i can embarrass us more! i can go farther down the road of defeat and alienation of normal american voters! four out of the five donald trump backed candidates for the united states senate lost. donald trump very likely caused republican the senate by backing the werewolf guy in georgia and the weird gun guy in arizona, and the new jersey guy in pennsylvania. and with his continued and even escalating election denialism and then after trump announced plans to run for the republican nomination for president again in 2024, right after that he did what everybody would do after declaring they were running for president, he had dinner with the nazi praising rapper ye and the white supremacist nick fuentes. and he supported a fund-raiser for the insurrectionists who attacked the capitol on january t

arizona is also in this crisis and cross harris.s month alone customs officials in the state of arizona seized 2 million fentanyl pills. last month that same port of entry seized more than 3 million fentanyl pills. that's just what they were able to detect. the full extent of the drug trafficking and human trafficking and the consequences on our country through our border in arizona is impossible to measure. our government democrats and republicans have failed to secure our borders. either because they don't care about the american people our or country. or they are totally incompetent. mexican is not doing anything to secure its borders. they are controlled by the cartels. they are winning in all of this. the result is that like texas, arizona is experiencing an unprecedented wave of illegal migration. the impact doesn't stop at our border states. they are just way stations for the surge of illegal immigration impacting every state across the country. the daily caller was at the huma border just before christmas. here is disturbing

alicia: with arizona being a difficult battleground state what is the democrats next move in arizona they have the option of putting someone out there on the democratic ticket but for sure would dilute the boat for them and for her seat that would be handed over to republicans. this is a really tough moment for democrats right now, a lot of soul-searching. >> it really is it reminds us what happened in utah the last cycle where democrats went all in for an independent voter to face income the republican leader mike lee. democrats and have the same problem going into 2024 if sinema and deeds decide to run because they're going to look at it and say this is going to split the vote all over the place for the senate race you can have a republican, democrat and independent which might give the republican the advantage because arizona is more of a center-right state even though it has to democrat u.s. senators. but there also could be thinking about how does this impact the presidential race because a lot of people split their votes, some people don't. so advantage to, those are the things

not just arizona.hat i find incredibly disturbing, everyone thought kari lake was a nut when she ran. she won -- from arizona. but has that worked? and yet they're supposedly respectable figures in the republican party, the good republicans, glenn youngkin, doug doocy, they all endorsed. her they wanted her to win. and that happens because the party has just lost any sense of why it's a political party other than acquiring power. there is no coherent conservative political philosophy that is being articulated now. it's just about power. so kari lake, yes, sure, she should when -- she wants to [inaudible] yes, she's a nut, yes, she's never going to concede. but we have to support. or they won't say trump's name. and donald trump, unless you attack donald trump, donald trump will win because he is going to attack you. so these people better buckle up. >> melissa, to that point, ronna mcdaniel, the head of the rnc came out with a statement to say, believe it or not because you've heard the statement for t

we will continue to move forward to improve systems in arizona. one of my first agenda items as secretary of state will be to get to every single one of our 15 counties very soon, talk with those officials and make sure they have the support they need from the state to see that those sorts of things don't happen again. in fact, tomorrow i will be speaking with the county recorders at the arizona association of county officials. they are the ones that need the support across arizona and i'm going to be happy to give it to them. >> mr. secretary of state elect, congratulations. you tweeted with the last 24 hours the 2022 election was only the first battle in election deniers' war against american democracy, arizona of course a major battleground state, going to be hotly contested for 2024, president biden as an aside will be there today. what are some steps that can be put in place to safeguard the elections in arizona in 2024 to make sure that they are, indeed, fair and freely contested, but also to prevent election deniers causing more trouble? >>

, because he is our arizona expert.ughn, thank you very much for coming on and talking to us about what's going on in cochise county. they finally certified the election results but it took a court order to do so. they didn't meet the deadline for the certification. so what does that mean? >> it feels like our democracy is just like a puzzle at this point here, and we're almost built out here, and cochise county is going to be one of the last puzzle pieces that now we can say is on the table, and now we're waiting for the folks in georgia to get their act together here over the final four days and then we've got the full picture. in arizona, cochise was about to make things really damn interesting, katy, because the board of supervisors, three members, two republicans, those two republicans had decided that they were not going to certify the election results despite them being in the favor of republicans, and a lot of it was based on the conspiracy theories stemming from 2020, and ultimately, yesterday afternoon, they w

and also in arizona, we have micro technology. i'm investing dozens of billions of dollars in new york state, but then there's also the hope that those manufactory will attract the suppliers. so for cotton sample companies who provide them the tools or materials. so clearly there is this push for more interesting elevation within the united states. maybe one more worked for time on me. they still will produce chips in taiwan and maybe even more broad one than they are building here in the u. s. and the next couple of years, okay, ends culture in new york for us. thank you very much. staying with united states in the u says the u. s. has shown a willingness to resolve a trade dispute that is straining relations between the 2 allies. the european union delegation has been taking part in talks in washington where they've argued the president biden's inflation reduction act, discriminates against european firms, you know, has billions of dollars in financial support to american makers. of green tech was speaking to our correspondents

so, the arizona listeners and arizona voters on the republican side of the aisle are looking at a congressmanhey know very well in andy biggs and are looking at that challenge a bit differently. >> we'll see what happens. are they rooting for andy biggs or just yet another moment of contention? no one in the world has election exhaustion yet. i'm sure they're all on board. >> yeah. we jump from 2022 to 2024 right away. and i think it's that way. i think people in arizona that know andy biggs know what they're getting with him. they may not know mccarthy as well. so, i think maybe this pool in arizona may not be the gauge because, you know, we always go with the people that we know more so. and maybe we're hoping for a hometown guy like andy biggs. >> well, we'll see. mike, nice talking to you. >> thank you. >>> we've also got news tonight on brittney griner. she's spending her first night now on american soil in nearly 300 days. think about that. we're learning also more about what exactly she went through in a russian penal colony. next, i'll talk to one of brittney's friends who also played

it's not an accident she said arizona voters half a dozen times and we know in arizona there were a lotf ticket splitters in the election. whether or not she's running in the future it's fair to say she's trying to maintain the power that she has gained by making this move. >> and that power was changed with what we saw happen in georgia. i wonder what you make of the timing of this decision. that is something the white house is going to be looking at, this comes just after they're off a major victory in georgia with warnock getting that full term. what do you think the timing of this looks like? >> maybe the timing gave her the room to do this in a way she felt as though democrats were secure in their majority, she felt she could take this step that was more true to who she was as an independent, that's how she's operated -- >> that's a charitable reading, by the way. >> i think one of the reasons she's also doing this, she's staring down a tough re-election. let's not forget about the fact that's just around the corner. and you have to be thinking, my state is changing, the dynamics h
