i sat down with bowers at his home in mesa this week.began by discussing the reaction back home to his dramatic testimony before the january 6th committee. your testimony was intense, it was obviously heartfelt, what was the reaction back home? >> many individuals would come up and thank me and say that m . >> the blowback you got? >> that i'm a traitor. the price of treason is hanging. and stuff like that. >> the price of treason is hanging -- >> but what most i received was thanks. i have people walk up cold turkey and say i'm ashamed of you. >> let's go back to trump actually you wanted to do after the election of 2020, and rudy giuliani, they basically wanted you to overturn the results in arizona. >> that would be the result of what they asked, yes. but they would say, we've heard there's an arcane law in arizona that would allow us -- that would allow you if you have sufficient cause, that would allow you to throw out the biden electors and put in trump's electors and that's new one to me. i have never heard of that one. >> did you

and is there still room for people like bowers in the republican party?was thinking, as you showed that piece, the scene that was used by speaker bowers and, i was thinking of three other scenes, where the republican party demonstrates the cult word. it demonstrates it is a cult. a rather large one. usually think of coats as small, but a lot rather large. one which is the idea that this is a craving group of people, waving to one leader or series of leaders in an attempt to dismantle our democracy. they believe in conspiracy theories, all across. and it's corrupt. it is legitimately a corrupt organization that has conspiracy theories in enhancement of one single leader, or a single group of leaders who want to do this. the only thing right now, and i'm optimistic about one part of this, that as you've mentioned, which is the idea that this is being laid bare to the american public. and so, people didn't used to pay attention to secretary of state races. they didn't really pay attention to attorney generals races. they would flip a coin, many americans wou

that's how bowers, a trump voter describes trump's playbook. tactics that a crop of republican candidates are using to seize the levers of power in arizona. washington post reports on trump's chosen candidate for governor there, vote republican gubernatorial hopeful kari lake is telling her voters not to trust the contest in arizona unless, of course, she wins. a former longtime local tv anchor has repeatedly said she does not recognize joe biden as the country's legitimate president. had she been governor in 2020 lake said she would not have fulfilled her legal duty to certify arizona's election results and it's a maneuver that could have disenfranchised the voters of thousands of arizonans to president biden and a big lie republican and former member of the oath keepers militia group is running to control elections in the state of arizona. new york times writes this about that, quote, mark fincham is the candidate of a trump-backed coalition with more than a dozen 2020 election deniers who had sought once-obscured across the country, they're

there was a piece you did with rusty bowers. >> we're looking at the reality, andrea, there could with b a clean sweep in arizona. this is the first major primary coming out of these public january 6th hearings. there are a lot of national implications we could take away from essentially of these races. you know, one of them is the governor's race. you have two political newcomers. you have kari lake and robeson who's also endorsed. and you've got an running for attorney general with trump's endorsement. he's also called for the decertification of the 2020 election. of course, blake masters for the u.s. senate is atop the polls here, but the other race here is the very, very local one. that legislative race. rusty bowers after publicly testifying in frlk of the january 6th committee, after serving in public office for 16 years t mormon house speaker from the east valley of may san jose sharks arizona, he could potentially lose his primary to a trump-endorsed challenger. i was able to catch up with him over the weekend and asked

i mentioned rusty bowers a few minutes ago. and of course liz cheney. but mark, republicans who are currently in office, those that you know personally heard shaking their heads, who privately know how dangerous he is, never liked and to begin with. someone whose name might rhyme which mitt romney. where are they seeing right now as trump is getting more aggressive and louder in this space. >> they can't believe it, because listen, there's a couple of things happening. one is that biden has some mojo, they're animated by a couple of recent decisions, the inflation reduction act, and roe. the supreme court has certainly animated them. the other equation that has happened is that donald trump has come back on the radar screen, because of this mar-a-lago search. republicans are going, jeez, just when we had some momentum and had a wave going into november, here comes trump again. that's part of the problem. because not only are democrats animated, but we've seen it a lot of polling and research, the republicans enthusiasm has been dampened, and part of tha

you mentioned rusty bowers, there were people who stood up and said no, right? like, it's going to be country over party for me. that happened in enough places with enough republican officials to turn donald trump 's efforts away. now, you have these people who are committed to not just expressing his lies and repeating them, but actually potentially committed to overturning elections that they would then have oversight over, if they didn't like the results. that's what i think the biggest danger is in the way in which the republican primaries play out. >> you also have this sort of trump pence proxy war. i don't know how significant that really is. >> you know, i think it's more a trump proxy war against the establishment of the republican party. we use mike pence or where he was a doug doocy in the governor of arizona as the person on this other side. you know it's interesting to? is that we're going to these primaries that are being held in the middle of august right now, the dog days of august, we are not going to see record turnout. what we are going to see

in arizona, state house speaker rusty bowers, the conservative state house speaker who refused to help overturn the election and testified before the house select committee is also facing opposition backed by the former president in his state senate race. some of the very same candidates are also being supported controversially by democrats hoping to run against more extreme opponents in the fall. all of this with inflation and fears of recession as the backdrop, president biden''s foreign policy decision on the table in midterm elections now 98 days away. john king is tracking the important races and trends at the wall. john, missouri polls are just closing, as you know the former president caused a lot of confusion in his senate endorsement of two people named eric, both running for the same office. how is that race shaping up? >> yeah, anderson, the fact that we're talking about missouri is actually the story in the sense that this is a retiring republican incumbent roy blount the wind at the republican's back. this should be a safe seat. the former president decided at the last min
