🚨GOP Makes FATAL MOVE on CAPITOL HILL!!!

MAGA Republicans continue to fall apart. on Capitol Hill. The MAGA Republicans in. the House moments ago just named Jim. Jordan as the new minority leader for. the 120th Congress. That's right. In the. House of Representatives, they just. picked Jim Jordan to be their leader. The vote took place moments ago. The. vote was 106 to 73 per sources. And yes, Jim Jordan beat Steve Scaliz in the. leadership race. We're hearing from MAGA.

Republican Congress members who are. saying, "Yeah, we got Jim Jordan now. Yeah, you got the guy who before. becoming a member of Congress was a gym. coach and was involved in covering up. sexual assault at a university that was. done on such a rampid scale. Someone who. previously was leading the judiciary. committee, who is not a licensed lawyer, literally one of the most putrid. individuals who the American people. hate. This is the lesson that the MAGA. Republicans learned from the shellacking. they just took at the midterm elections.

MAGA Republican extremist Brandon Gil. says, "I couldn't be more thrilled to. see Jim Jordan elected as House GOP. leader. I admire Jim immensely and I've. been honored to serve under his. leadership on the judiciary committee. Jim's a fighter and a con a convicted. conservative. Definitely a convict. There's definitely. some truth to that, I suppose, although. conservative isn't the word I would use. Take a look at the cameras capturing the. moment Jim Jordan entered the voting. room. Here, play this clip.

>> What's your What's your pitch? What's. your pitch to members? >> Why you not squeeze? >> We already We already We already gave. that pitch. >> And what did you say in the pitch? >> Meanwhile, you have Democrats on the. House Judiciary Committee who are about. to take control of that committee and. issuing subpoenas saying, "Save your. screenshots. Has a Trump administration. official shaken down your company via. signal? Have your bosses ask you to. purge records of corrupt deals with the. administration? Be a patriot. Save the.

evidence and blow the whistle to the. House Judiciary Committee. And we've. been hearing, I'll talk about this a. little later in the video as well, a lot. of people coming forward, general. counsels, corporate councils for a lot. of these companies that worked with the. Trump regime and all of these crimes and. schemes. They're like, "We want to. cooperate. We want to turn against the. uh Trump regime. We're getting a. reaction from Don Jr. to what just took. place in the House of Representatives. Although it seemed that all he wanted to. talk about with uh well, you tell me how. you think Don Jr. looks right over here. Um but uh he's he didn't want to really.

talk about Jim Jordan. He wanted to say. it was so unfair that Russell Brand, his. friend, one of the top MAGA influencers, was convicted of rape and sexual assault. and sentenced to over 10 years according. to Don Jr. Very unfair. are very unfair. Here, play this clip. >> Brand was sentenced at Southwork Crown. Court to 10 years and 6 months in. prison, one rape conviction, three. sexual assault convictions. He was. convicted, by the way, with no forensic.

evidence, no DNA. And folks, the MAGA. Republicans continue to keep falling. apart right now. Let's talk about what. else is going down inside the House. Republican Conference meeting taking. place right now. the MAGA Republican. Congress member Richard Hudson who was. the outgoing NRCC chair, the National. Republican Congressional Conference. chair. So, he was invited on stage to. introduce some of the very few new. Republican members who actually won. their races in the broader wipeout of.

the MAGA Republicans in the House and. the Senate. Like, let's bring up. Congressman Richard Hudson. And he was. MIA. He didn't show because he lost his. race to Richard Ojada, the new. Democratic congressman. Major OJa. We. introduced we interviewed him last night. and he's been going on the offense. against these MAGA Republicans. Yeah. So, Hudson was a no-show there. More. from MAGA Mike Johnson earlier where. he's like, "Look, the House, we're doing.

our job. It's all the Senate's fault. The the Senate really, it's the. Republicans in the Senate who have. screwed us over. Watch what Magga Mike. had to say. play this clip. It's been a. great frustration to us. The House has. been one of the most productive. chambers, the most productive houses in. the history of the institution, certainly in the modern era, but the. Senate blocked it all. And so the. question is, what are we going to be. able to accomplish in this lame duck? We. really have to ask the Senate because. the House is willing and able to pass. and continue to move legislation, but we.

it it hits a stonewall over there. So, I'm hopeful that their leadership. elections get resolved quickly and that. they can. Meanwhile, the MAGA. Republicans in the Senate like Ron. Johnson are saying, "I simply won't. participate in business as usual. An. election defeat of this magnitude. demands change." Now, Republican senator. who's about to be out of a job. Senator. Tom Tillis from North Carolina. Donald. Trump pushed him out. Then Donald Trump. brought in that magastouge Wattley who. lost to Senator Elect Cooper, former.

governor of North Carolina. Senator Tom. Tillis said earlier today to Manu Rajo. on CNN he would vote for impeachment and. conviction of Hegsith Hegsith needs to. go. So a Republican senator right here. has to say. Let's play this clip. >> If the impeachment passes in the House, will you vote for a trial here? >> I'm uh I'm leaning in that direction. We'll see what the leadership wants. You. know, the uh. >> the U and on the first floor. >> once we get a leadership in place, I.

guess. Well, that's actually for next. year. I'm going to talk to the current. leadership. >> Well, for this year, you'll have a vote. to proceed with. >> if it comes over. If there's a vote, I'm. likely to vote um against Hex Seth and. for the impeachment. >> And why is that? >> Because it's it's to me it's a no. confidence vote for him. The best thing. that we could do is move him along, get. somebody in there that can help. Look, we're struggling to get defense spending. and I lay that at his feet. Then we'll. zoom in on the House floor right now. You have Democratic Congress member. McGovern who is in my mind one of the.

most fiercest fighters against Megan. Fiercest fighters for the people. Here's. what he had to say on the House floor. Let's play it. Mr. Speaker, the sun is. coming up and soon it will be a new day. in America and the American people are. the ones who are bringing the light. They voted against the chaos, the. corruption, and the cruelty. And they. voted overwhelmingly. in red states and blue states, in small. towns and in big cities, from C2 Shining.

Sea, to reject this president and this. failed administration. They voted to repudiate MAGA, to rebuke. Steven Miller and Elon Musk and Christy. Gnome and Cash Patel and all the rest of. the incompetent clowns empowered by. Donald J. Trump. And the American people. delivered their verdict on the work of. this failed Republican majority here in. this Congress. Come January, Republicans.

will no longer be in charge around here. Their incompetence and their foolishness. and their obsession with culture wars. and billionaire giveaways have cost them. the majority. And what is stunning to me, Mr. speaker. is that instead of taking the hint or. listening to the overwhelming majority. of Americans who told them to change. course, Republicans are doubling down on.

the same tactics and messaging they've. been jamming down our throats these last. two years. And it's a perfect example of. why they lost in the first place. They. do not listen. Speaker Johnson said. yesterday that the voters made the wrong. choice. The voters made the wrong choice. I. mean, are you kidding me? Now, you might. disagree with their choice, Mr. Speaker, but it's not wrong. You just ain't.

listening. And then to double down even further, the failed lame duck president appointed. Steven Miller, the architect of all the. cruel policies that most people hate, as. his new White House chief of staff, Mr. Speaker, what planet are these. people living on? Republicans need to. take a long hard look in the mirror. because if they don't break with this.

delusional thinking and actually start. listening, start rejecting extremism, it's going to be a long long long long. time before they are ever in the. majority again. Then you had another. fierce fighter, Democratic Congress. member Robert Garcia, who will be. chairing the House Oversight Committee. in the 120th Congress being sworn in in. January. Right now, he is the leader for. the Democrats of the House Oversight. Committee. Here's what he had to say.

Let's play this clip. We're already. looking at Susie Wilds. I mean, first. let's go back to the Epson investigation. when you have Susie Wilds in the. situation room with the vice president. JD Vance uh talking about Gain Maxwell. trying to exonerate Donald Trump uh. strategizing about how to continue the. White House cover up. And so we've. already been looking at Susie Wilds with. all of this new information that's come. out. It is incredibly serious. And so. it's not just going to be oversight, but. I think you're going to see some action. from some other committees. Um,

particularly as it relates to any sort. of uh conversations that the former. chief of staff was having around donors. and money in exchange for for policy. choices, I think it's very serious. So. just because you're no longer in the. administration and whether your name is. Susie Wilds, whether it's Kimberly. Goldfoil, whether it is Corin. Luwendowski, whether it is Christine. Owen, you are being investigated and. there needs to be accountability uh in. that space. >> Go ahead. Now, I was also sharing with. you this morning how a lot of Trump's. inner circle is already flipping on.

Donald Trump. All of these big. Washington DC law firms are advising. anyone who may be implicated with. Trump's crimes, corporations that are. intertwined in Trump's crimes and grift. that they should be immediately. contacting Democratic Congress members. and staffers to offer cooperation and. participation while they can still try. to get a deal to help them. Otherwise, they are all going down. And we've been.

hearing from congressional staffers that. their phone is off the hook with these. general counsels from various. corporations who are out there saying, "Look, we want to help. We may have. screwed up. We did things wrong. How. could we help and participate?" Now. going from Garcia to the uh Senate uh. judiciary committee over here. Donald. Trump is trying to push through all of. these MAGA stooguge district court. judges during the lame duck session. All.

of these very unqualified people that. Trump wants to push into district court. positions. Let me show you what went. down as Democratic Senator Blumenthal. moments ago. We're cross-examining a. number of Donald Trump's judicial picks. Let's play it. And uh was the capital. attacked on January 6th, 2021, >> Senator, there were acts of violence, lawlessness, trespass, and destruction. of property that day. >> But you're not willing to say the. capital was attacked.

>> Senator, again, I condemn the acts of. violence, lawlessness, trespass, and. destruction of property that day. >> Mr. act ditto. >> Senator, I would just add that whether. the act whether the the events of that. day are characterized as an attack could. have legal ramifications. >> No, that's a ditto. Correct. >> Senator, I condemn the acts of violence. on that day. >> Mr. Kelly, >> ditto. Senator Ditto. Mr. Dr. Klein.

>> Uh, yes, sir. Uh, Ditto. Yes, sir. >> Ditto. Ditto. >> Ditto. Ditto. Ditto. That's where we are. on the United States District Court. >> Here's another example right here of a. Trump judicial nominee, Todd Butler, who. refuses to answer basic questions. This. is someone who's going to potentially. become a district court judge. And this. is how awful the kind of MAGA judges are.

right now. They are the least qualified, most pathetic, vile individuals that. they are that there are. Play this clip. >> Uh, who won the popular vote in the 2020. election? >> Senator. Joe Biden was certified the the winner. under our under our system. >> So, you know, you're not answering my. question, right, >> Senator? in line with other nominees. that have come before this committee.

including Justice Jackson. Um the. underlying subject my my question to you. is who won the popular vote? I know who. was certified. My question to you is who. won the popular vote? And reciting the. standard evasive line I think really. is an insult to your intelligence as. well as to ours. >> Senator, again,

our system prescribes the winner of the. election under. >> who won the electoral college in the. 2020 election. Joe Biden was certified. under the electoral college. >> Did Donald Trump win the 2020 election? >> No, he was he was not certified the. winner under our system. >> Are you unable to say that. that. Joe Biden won the popular vote? Is that.

just something that will not emerge from. your lips, >> Senator? in line with other nominees. that. >> well I'm asking you as an individual. because on the bench you will be making. individual judgments. You don't have to. side with other members of the panel. You're not going to be. repeating puppet like what other. nominees no matter who they are. But. certainly the wrote repetition of this. line about certification I think betrays.

a lack of independence. You understand. that point, don't you? S. >> Senator, uh, an important role is is. following president. And so I'm just. outlining the. >> So you're following the president of. other nominees who have been schooled. and prepared. to refuse to answer this question. >> Nominees of both parties, including. Justice Jackson, have. >> Well, Justice Jackson was in an entirely. different situation. And I think it also. betrays a lack of adherence to fact.

as well as logic that you are repeating. this. distortion that have has been relied on. by other nominees. Let me ask you um. was the capital attacked on January 6th? >> Again, Senator, the broader. characterization of it is attacked. the. Supreme Court has used the word breach. and I would adopt the um again I was in.

Mississippi I think on January 6 but uh. so I have no firsthand knowledge but. based on news reports and things that. I've I've seen I think uh Supreme Court. has characterized it as a breach and I'm. comfortable with that language. Well, I'm asking you whether. you agree with Justice. Amy Coney Barrett, uh, who said, quote, "A mob of rioters breached the capital. on January 6th, 2021." You agree, >> Senator? I've certainly seen news.

reports and videos of uh, violence, and. I condemn that, especially being someone. who has represented law enforcement. about uh Judge Kelly, Timothy Kelly, US. District Court Judge, in an order on July 10th, 2026, he said, and by the way, he's a Trump. appointee. Quote, as the court has said. many times, the attack on the capital on. January 6th, 2021 was a perilous event.

It was an attack on people, including. police officers, many of whom were. injured. Do you agree with Judge Kelly. that the capital was attacked on January. 6th, 2021? >> Again, I think I've I've seen certain. videos of of clear violence, which I. condemn. >> Then we heard from Democratic. Congresswoman uh Sarah Jacobs from San. Diego. Here's what she had to say about.

Hexith impeachment. Let's play it. >> for one minute. I'm so proud to represent San Diego, the. biggest military community in the. country. It's my community, my neighbors. and friends who've been shipped off to. fight Secretary Hex's reckless war in. Iran. So, I take it personally when our. leaders are cavalier with our service. members lives. I take it personally when. our leaders ask our service members to. take illegal action in Iran and. Venezuela and Yemen. And I take it.

personally when my constituents aboard. the USS Abraham Lincoln spend 10 months. at sea, sometimes without enough food to. eat, hot water to take a shower, and. sufficient access to healthcare. It's my. constituents who are still there. fighting this war. And what has it all. been for? We're not any safer or more. secure. And look what's been done in our. name. A girl's elementary school bombed. in Manob. Hundreds of people murdered in. boats in the Caribbean and the Eastern. Pacific. This isn't strength. It's.

recklessness. It's illegal. And someone. should be held accountable. And we. should start with Secretary P. Hexath. So my vote today to impeach him isn't. political. Time is expired. >> It's personal. And it's for the service. members that I represent. >> Time is expired. >> We heard from Democratic Congress member. Ted Lou as well. Here is what he had to. say. Let's play it. work last term where. we overperformed and her amazing work. this term where we're going to have the. largest caucus in uh of Democrats since.

Watergate. The American people saw that. gas prices were rising, healthc care. costs were rising, and mortgage rates. were rising. And what was Trump focused. on? Putting his name on stuff, on coins, on passports, on buildings. You know. what he was doing the day before the. midterm elections? He was standing in. front of the reflecting pool that he. screwed up talking about how it should. be changed to the Trump reflecting pool. You know what he was doing the day after. midterm elections? Talking about White.

House renovations. And the American people said enough. They've had enough of this. administration and the Republicans who. enable it. And now they've ushered in. this tremendous new majority for both. the House and the Senate. And we look. forward to working on behalf of the. American people on two core themes, affordability and accountability. And. now it's my great honor. Now, as we. reported earlier this morning, awful. inflation numbers this morning. Inflation went up about4%.

The Trump regime is refusing to release. the year-over-year inflation numbers, but if you just take last month where. they did do the year-over-year, which. was 3.7, and then you add4, you'll get. to right around 4.1% year-over-year. So. inflation 4.1% year-over-year, wage. growth 3% year-over-year. So inflation. totally swallowing wage growth. And you. see the American people suffering. America wants this catastrophic war in. Iran to end. That is causing prices to.

keep on rising. The trade war against. the world that's causing prices to. continue, right? And the catastrophic. war that's killing our troops, that's. injuring our service members, that's. causing chaos and disorder throughout. the world. Right? Donald Trump promised. on day one he would end the war in. Ukraine in 24 hours and instead he. started neverending wars with Iran and. then the war in Ukraine continues to. rage on. I'll do some more videos on. this. But in Abu Dhabi today, you have. Jared Kushner and Steve Witoff doing.

some like fake performative negotiations. with Ukraine and Russia, where really. the Trump regime just wants to carve out. the eastern Ukrainian borders and give. it to Russia in exchange for what a. temporary ceasefire without any security. guarantees. Jared Kushner looking so. utterly pathetic. I digress. I just want. to give you all the details and data. that are coming in here in the newsroom. as I'm reporting. Also, it should be. noted that a US aircraft has been. evacuated from the second US UK base due.

to the Iran due to claims of an Iranian. threat. Remember when we previously. reported several weeks ago that the. Royal Air Force Base Fairford was. evacuated and all of those US B1 and B2. and B2 and B-52 bombers rather were. being moved back to the US following a. purported threat from Iran. Well, now. there was another base that was just. evacuated in the UK. The United States. evacuated US Air Force Strato tanker.

refueling tankers from Royal Air Force. Base Mildenhal and moved them to. Germany, claiming that there's Iranian. threats on this other UK base. I'll show. you moments ago where State Regime Media. Fox reported on it. Let's play this. clip. Breaking overnight, the US is. reportedly evacuating military aircrafts. from a second base in England after a. threat from Iran. At least 10 Air Force. refueling jets have left the RAF, the. Royal Air Force Middleton.

in Suffach yesterday, excuse me. This. departure comes weeks after the US. withdrew its bombers from RAF Fairford. over a suspected Iran linked security. incident there. And. >> also Bloomberg reporting that at least. 11 National Security Agency and US Cyber. Command workers died by suicide over. roughly the past year. According to US. officials and public records, a greater. number than previously known, the. National Security Agency is within the.

Department of Defense. That's under. Hegath's lack of leadership. So add this. to the additional reasons why Hgsith. needs to go. And specifically, Hegsith. forced out a four-star general uh last. year, General Tim How Tim Tim H a u g. and Tim how was one of the most. wellrespected people who ran the cyber. security uh command and he was pushed. out. And so you think about all of these. hacks that have been taking place of the.

FBI, of all these government agencies, right, of water systems, of all of the. of of um of freezers that have food in. them, right? Um the NSA cyber command. was gutted by HEXA. Then the top four. star general was forced out and now you. have 11 suicides in the past year that. were being covered up. Oh, JD Vance. moments ago posted the following. Has. Pete Hexith committed impeachable. crimes? The question is absurd and the. answer is obviously not. Like so much of.

Congress, impeachment has become a. ridiculous show that stands for in for. actual policymaking. Congress has so. many tools for registering its policy. disagreements. Rather than use them, they're going to try to impeach Pete. Hexith. They did the same to Donald. Trump. W a bunch of losers. Going back. to what Congress member McGovern said, "These idiots, these losers, these scum, these demonic people have not got the. message from the American people. We. hate you. We want you out. We want to. get rid of this disgusting regime that.

covers up child sex trafficking and. slaughters little children across the. globe with our taxpayer dollars. Get the. hell out of there is how the American. people feel. It's how people across the. country feel." I want to zoom in for a. moment though on uh Arizona which got a. trifecta um in the election. They have. the governor's uh mansion, they've got. the house, they've got the senate by big. margins and every state top official. also Democrat there as well. So I want. to bring in now also uh Governor Katie.

Hobbs. I want to talk to her about that. trifecta and I want to connect it to. this broader view of where the American. people are at right now. Let's bring in. my interview with Governor Katie Hobbs. Now, let's bring in Arizona's Governor. Katie Hobbs. Coming off a major victory. where not only you won, but also the. trifecta. Right now, Democrats control. the House, the Senate, the Governor's. Office. First time since 1966. Then we. look at all of these other statewide.

leadership positions. Democrats won. mostly all of those as well. local races. also talk to us about this major victory. not just for Democrats frankly but for. democracy for the people of Arizona. Governor, >> well, this is a huge a huge win and it's. been a long time in the making. When I. first got to the legislature in 2011, uh. Republicans had super majorities in both. chambers. The uh Senate caucus was so. small that they could share a pizza. We. joked about it being the one pizza.

caucus. And um I wanted to do something. about that. And so I ran for leadership. and I worked to found our our. legislative program that that led to. these wins. Uh so for 12 years we've. been building towards this. Uh I've said. for the last four years that we had the. most flippable legislature in the. country and we didn't just flip the. legislature, we got a super majority in. the Senate and nearly one in the House. And so it's going to be um a lot.

different playing field for the next. four years. None of that's going to. change how I govern. I'm going to. continue uh reaching across the aisle. and working with Republicans and. Democrats to tackle the tough challenges. we face. Those are the challenges that. uh my new colleagues in the legislature. ran on and the things that we're hearing. from Arizonans, they want us to deal. with. >> You've been on this program numerous. times over the past six, seven years. Talk to us though about remind our. viewers. You always were telling us that.

you believed it was the most flippable. legislature. Why did you think that and. how did that actually show up in the. vote? >> Well, it because we've worked really. hard to make it happen. I mentioned. founding our legislative program uh 12. years ago with my then colleague, the. House Minority Leader uh Eric Meyer. And. um we've been building towards this for. for years. Uh just uh just being very. disciplined uh recruiting good. candidates and uh showing up in areas of.

the state where people didn't think we. could win. We won the Senate seat in my. opponent's Republican district in. Gilbert, Arizona. I mean, and it's. because we showed up and uh and we were. focused on delivering rather than. playing political games. Uh and so yeah, now now the responsibility is on us to. actually deliver on those promises. >> Talk to us about those promises. Now. that you have the trifecta, what is that. first 100 day agenda look like? Building.

off obviously what you did in the last. term, but what does that look like now. that you have both houses? Uh it'll make. your job a little bit easier and pretty. nice margins too, you know, of Denver. It's not like it's all that close also. So talk to us about that. Well, uh, Arizonans have told us time. and again that they are struggling with. with higher costs because of. Washington's agenda. We have to do. something to bring those down. I've uh. I've uh done several things as governor.

that I didn't need legislative support. for, but some of those things I asked. the legislature to continue funding and. they wouldn't, like investment in. utility assistance for Arizonans, investment in a first-time home buyer. program. Uh now we can get those things. done. Uh we also have an outofcontrol. voucher program that Republicans in the. legislature continue to double down on, refusing to put any kind of income caps. So we are just seeing rich people get. vouchers to subsidize their kids private.

education. Uh and we are seeing people. spend the dollars on luxury items like. jewelry and lingerie because there were. no checks on what those things were. being spent on. uh now we have a chance. to re rein that in uh bring some. accountability to the program and ensure. that we're protecting taxpayer dollars. and they're being spent uh for. education. >> Know Donald Trump's uh immigration. policy if you even want to call it a. policy. I mean it was using ICE and.

border patrol so cruy to attack. communities and rip hardworking people. apart from their families and then laugh. at people in cages. you know, the data. that we're seeing and common sense would. also seem to dictate just seeing how. people have responded is that this. backfired. A lot of Latino voters said, you know, this is not what you said you. were going to be doing. Talk to us about. that. How how big of a role are you. seeing that right now in the electorate. in Arizona? What are you hearing?

>> Yeah. Well, I don't think it's just. Latino voters. I think all over the. country um with all different. demographics that um that agenda. backfired and what we did in Arizona. when I took office the border here in. Arizona was out of control. I pushed. back on the Biden administration. repeatedly about that. Uh and we took. action in uh into our own hands. We had. uh funds that have been allocated for. border security. Uh I use those to help. support local law enforcement. I sent.

National Guard to the border to help. with drug interdiction. And I launched a. statewide operation uh working with. state, local, federal, and sorry, local, federal, and state police on going after. cartel activity. Uh and we've had real. success in going after the smugglers and. the drug traffickers. And um and we've. done that because we stayed laser. focused on public safety going after the. bad guys and we didn't have to use the.

kind of tactics that are creating the. fear and the mistrust that we're seeing. with um the the uh White House's. immigration enforcement. And that's my. message is to continue uh we're going to. continue that approach. Um and my. message to the White House would be um. look, you can get the bad guys without. making everyone afraid. On Tuesday, we. got another really bad inflation report. So much so that the Trump regime, they're not even listing the. year-over-year inflation numbers as.

though we can't add up last month's to. this month's and say, "Okay, it's. clearly over 4%, interest rates are. expected to rise again." This is. affecting people's ability to afford. homes. There's a housing crisis. There's. a catastrophic war in Iran. There's a. trade war against the world. Obviously, we're seeing Arizona and other states. take a hit with Canada's boycott based. on Donald Trump's attacks of Canada and. other countries uh tourists not coming. here. So, talk more broadly though.

about, you know, I mean, look, it's no. matter what you do, you're going against. the these tides of him doing these. horrible policies. So, how do you. address that? What do you make of this. moment? Obviously, the voters are. rejecting what Trump's doing, but how. how do you see your role there as the. governor? Well, for the last four years. as governor, I have focused on. continuing to uh bring good paying jobs. to Arizona. And so, for the last two. years, despite the headwinds we're. facing from the federal government, uh.

that is making the economy worse for. most Americans, Arizona has fared pretty. well. Uh we are continuing to uh. experience uh positive job growth. uh. our inflation is lower than the rest of. the country. Uh when it comes to things. like housing, uh Maricopa County led the. nation on home building uh two years ago. and we've actually seen a decline in. housing costs in Arizona. I know there's.

a lot more to do. Uh but we're going to. continue to um take a common sense. approach that puts Arizonans first and. uh builds the economy to ensure. opportunity for Arizonans. And uh. despite the headwinds coming from. Washington, uh we've been able to to. continue to grow and uh we're going to. look for ways to keep doing that. Looking at your background right now, I. see the AFL CIO labor vote poster played. a big part in your campaign. And you.

know, Donald Trump was trying to make. inroads telling labor and workingclass. people, I'm the one who's going to fix. it when he was the one causing a lot of. the problems. But we're seeing, you. know, a very strong labor rejection of. Trumpism. I mean, Labor was always. strong and solid behind you, but he was. trying to pick off people. And so talk. to us about that because you know the. working class forms the backbone of. Arizona and all the states in this. country and you know Trump and MAGA and. their oligarchs really did this full.

assault on them and I think they're like. uh-uh we're rallying around people like. Governor Hobbes. >> Well I think that when you saw the. expansion of free trade agreements there. was uh uh some push back from labor. They saw it as a threat to their jobs. But um with Trump's approach to that. with with implementing across the board. tariffs that were taxes on Arizonans or. on Americans, uh they just made life. harder and they didn't they didn't uh.

help anyone. And so I think we're taking. a different approach. Uh I've spent the. last four years in the governor's office. making sure labor had a seat at the. table. We brought business and labor. together uh at tables that they hadn't. sat at before. We got um disperate. groups on board together coming up with. guidelines around heat safety for. workers that have to work in the extreme. heat we have in the summertime. And that.

if you if someone had said would we be. able to find agreement on that a lot of. people would have said no and we did. Um, I mean, we did something similar. with uh with with energy with my en. Arizona promise energy task force um and. uh getting environmental groups, utilities, and energy experts at the. table to come up with consensus. recommendations. It's just really about. bringing people together uh and not. approaching it from a partisan lens, but.

we have this problem. How can we work uh. together and come up with the best. outcome for everyone? What I love about. what you said about the win governor's. race trifecta is that this wasn't a one. election cycle win and it shouldn't be. viewed that way. This was actually a. generational project that when you were. in the legislature, you worked on. And. what I always tell our viewers, I said, "Elections are very important, existential. Go out there and vote." But. we have to think about things, frankly, the way the right-wing and. authoritarians were were thinking about.

things generationally to kind of get us. into a hellish situation, you know, where they focused on state legislatures. and they focused on school boards and. they focused there while Democrats 60. days before an election were like, "All. right, I guess we got to vote. Remember, we're there for you." So, talk about. that before we go, though. Because to. me, when I look at the map right now and. I see blue everywhere, I see America. everywhere more than the color blue. And. I think there's a generational change. that can be made in states that were.

once viewed as red or purple or. whatever. It's like it's we we can. generationally get out of this for the. next 30 to 50 years with good. governance. And I know that's how you're. thinking and so many states are. So talk. to us about that generational project. going forward. Well, I think how we. govern is more important than than ever. Uh I I know that you're hearing all the. pundits everywhere say, "Well, this was. just a wave. It's not going to last. The. Democrats with the majorities are going. to overreach now." Um and uh and and the.

responsibility on us to deliver on those. promises that we made is is enormous. And if we can do that, uh if we can stay. out of the partisan political games, if. we can focus on the issues, uh that that. Arizonans are facing, whether they're. Democrats or Republicans, uh we will be. successful and this will be the start of. something, not just a fluke or a. one-off. >> I so agree. The corporate media often. wants the gamification. Who's up? Who's.

down? Who's winning? Who? But why are we. winning? What's the point of this? like. we should we should be happy and have. empathy and love each other and respect. and build things and not this so many. people who come up to me you know after. this election they like Ben I'm so happy. like what they're like I'm not even. political these other people they were. just so mean and they were so rude and. they just seemed to just always be cruel. and mocking and I hate that I'll give. you the final word but that's what I. hear just non-political people saying. thank you for just talking about empathy.

and respect and leadership. >> yeah no I think the political. environment is very divisive and very um. ugly. It's not fun to be in and uh not. something I wish on my worst enemy. Uh. and I that's why I've always tried to. stay above the partisan fray and I think. you know we made a really big statement. about that when I chose my running mate. Uh this is the first election ever that. Arizonans have a lieutenant governor. uh. they run on a ticket with the governor. and I chose an independent who had been.

a lifelong Republican but who shares my. approach that leadership is about. solving problems. He was mayor of Mesa. uh Arizona for a long time. Uh ma ma. being mayor is a nonpartisan position. and uh so I'm looking forward to kind of. setting that example for um the rest of. the country as we move into what. hopefully is a new era of of politics in. our country.
