Trump gets RUDE AWAKENING in Arizona as IT FLIPS ON HIM QUICK

So, who would have thought ripping away. people's health care, making prices. surge even more in the United States. while bragging about all the gold in the. Oval Office and I don't know may and how. rich you are and and maybe adding to. that now launching a Qatari military. base in the United States and that's. somehow supposed to be helpful to. America. Those things aren't popular. Who would have thought those things are. unpopular? When you actually take a look. at some of the states that were uh.

voting for Donald Trump in this past. election, whether you look at Texas, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada, you look. at it, Donald Trump's deeply underwater. in these states. I just think people. want normaly. They want promises kept. about making things affordable. And I. think people are just seeing in. particular what's going on with this. government shutdown as their healthcare. is being ripped away. And they're. absolutely livid. I mean, just take a. look right here. here. Let's go to. Arizona. Let's take a look at Arizona's. fifth congressional district cuz this.

guy is running for governor. He's the. Republican candidate. Andy Biggs. Andy. Biggs says, "We're not going to talk to. Democrats about giving people healthcare. at all. That they're terrorists. We. don't talk to terrorists." Okay. Okay, Andy, let's take a look at your district. right here. costs. Uh in 2024 or 2025, a. couple earning $82,000 a year, they're. paying $492 a month in premiums on their. Affordable Care Act plan. Um but if the.

Affordable Care Act subsidies are not. extended, they'll be paying what? Three. times as much, $1,481. a month. What family making $82,000 a. year is able to afford close to $1,500 a. month? So Andy, maybe you should do what. we teach fifth grade students to do in. American government classes, which is. you talk to the other side, you figure. it out, you don't rule like dictators. By the way, this is what Big said. Just. so you don't go, Ben, he called them a. terrorist. Yeah, watch what Big said.

here. Play this clip. >> I I don't think you should be. negotiating with these people because. they're political terrorists just like. they are domestic terrorists. I think. they do. I think they care about health. care and I think they want to open up. the government but ensure that people. get healthare and not just billionaires. are the ones getting subsidized. And. then Andy Biggs has said that we need to. eliminate all courts. Just get rid of. federal judges just if the federal judge. doesn't, you know, rules against Donald. Trump. I guess the federal judge in. Portland, Oregon, for example, who ruled.

against Donald Trump. Are these the. types of judges who need to be. eliminated? Huh? Here, play this clip. >> I've got my bill that I I keep asking. for support on. And that bill would. basically say, uh, you're not in good. standing. And if you're not in good. standing, you're not in good behavior, um, then you you're no longer qualified. to be a federal judge. These are the. things that we have to do. We have to we. can actually eliminate courts. We can. limit jurisdiction. That's the priority. right now, not delivering healthcare, eliminating courts. And also, apparently.

Bigs doesn't believe in the concept of. uh having reasonable suspicion before. you just pull people off the street and. put them into prisons. Here, play this. clip. >> Judge says you got to have a reasonable. suspicion before you arrest somebody. before ICE can take people into custody. Your reaction? Well, this is another time where the. judge has kind of gotten this wrong for. political reasons. Um, and this judge is.

trying to also issue a national. injunction. Again, I mean, that's what. you're saying. That's the intent of. this. I want to bring in Arizona's. governor, Katie Hobbs. Governor Hobbs, it's great to see you because what. you've done in Arizona, I think, is a. model of how you actually govern, how. you engage in bipartis. you you talk to the other side. Even if. you disagree with them on a lot of. issues, you figure it out as opposed to. what seems to be going on with bigs and.

these Republicans in Washington. You've. announced your reelection campaign and. you're running on, look, this is how you. govern. Talk to us though about what. you've seen in Arizona right now as the. governor being able to pass balanced. budgets and actually do the work and. show up. >> Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I launched uh. in the face of having coming off of the. most successful legislative session that. we've had under my tenure uh as in a. divided government. And I think our.

state is stronger because I have. continued to focus on Arizonans first. and the politics last. I've taken on the. tough challenges that so many of my. predecessors, career politicians have. ignored for years and we got stuff done. because I'm willing to work with anyone. to deliver for Arizonans on the tough. issues we're facing. Um, when extremists. in the legislature sent me a partisan. budget that slashed services for. Arizonans across the state, I vetoed it.

and I forced them back to the table. And. what we got instead was this bipartisan. balance balance budget that delivers for. Arizona families. Uh in contrast to the. partisan Washington budget that. skyrockets the debt that slashes. Medicaid for millions of Americans. We. protected healthcare for 60,000. Arizonans with disabilities. Their. budget uh slashes meals for kids and.

nutrition assistance. My budget invests. in school meals for 68,000 kids from. working families. Their budget cuts law. enforcement budget. My budget gives much. deserved raises for state police and. fire. Their budget makes college. unaffordable for so many Americans. My. budget invests in community college. scholarships so more Arizonans have. access. The list goes on and on. But. these are the kinds of things you can. get done when you're focused on working.

with anyone who wants to come to the. table with solutions and you're focused. on the people who sent you to the. capital to deliver on these on these. issues. >> No, it's such a interesting thing that I. think deserves more attention because. you said the kind of extremist faction. of Republicans, they tried to push. forward what would have been a. disastrous situation in Arizona. They. were testing you. They were trying to. call your bluff. They had their whole. kind of propaganda machine ready to go.

Governor Hobbes isn't supporting you. She's vetoing this. And they rolled out. all their usual tricks which we're. seeing now at a macro level in DC. They're kind of doing the same playbook. But you said, "I'm not going to be. bullied. Absolutely not. This does not. benefit the people." And then you put. forward your own budget and you won and. didn't win for you. You won for the. people. And whether the people in. Arizona are Republican or Democrat, I. think they looked at what you did and. say, "I respect that." That was I see.

that's the way government's actually. supposed to function. A Republican may. say, "I disagree with Governor Hobbes on. this issue or this issue and a Democrat. may say I agree with her and this," but. you brought people together. And I think. that's what people are seeing not. happening in DC where you heard Bigs. who's running for governor. He says he. go he calls them terrorists and says I'm. not even talking to them. You got to. talk, right? That's our system. You. speak, you negotiate, you figure stuff. out.

>> Yeah. No, absolutely. I'm really not. sure what ideology uh you come from when. you think that government shouldn't be. there to help the people who elected you. to serve in that government, like. ripping away healthcare uh and uh. thinking that you're helping Americans. by doing that. And then also uh you. played the clip about the courts. Like. the courts are an important check and. balance and um obviously they don't want. to be checked on their abuses of power. right now.

>> Like how is this even a like a I'm. thinking about DC now. Like how is this. even a partisan issue? I showed you. bigs, but I could go every one of these. Republican Congress members. I can go uh. crane. If you're paying $499 a month in. premiums right now, you will be paying. $2,141. if these subsidies are not extended. So. over $25,000 a year. I'm just wondering. what Arizona couple can who's making. $82,000 can afford $24,000 a year in.

healthcare. Like what? This isn't this. was never Republican, Democrat, independ. This should be an American. issue, it seems. And I imagine that's. what you're hearing a lot from Arizonans. right now. >> Yeah, absolutely. Whether it's health. care costs or any other costs, the when. I talk to Arizonans, the thing I hear. the most about this president is, look, he ran on lowering costs. He says he won. because costs were too high and he was. going to do something about that. He's.

doing exactly the opposite. whether it's. um these uh insurance premiums that. we're going to see going up or uh. ripping away Medicaid that's going to. also drive up insurance premiums for. everyone or the tariffs, his trade war. that is like the biggest tax we've ever. seen. Uh that's making costs go up. everywhere for for businesses, for. Arizonans. um it is exactly the opposite. of what he ran on and Bigs and the other.

two Republicans that are in this primary. against me are are the biggest. cheerleaders for these failed Washington. policies at the expense of Arizonans. >> How are you you know we know it's like. the worst housing market in the country. since 1995. construction and manufacturing are. basically in recessionary territories as. a result of across the country as a. result of Trump's tariffs against the. world and tourism down significantly.

because people see the images one of. these kind of ICE agents who are roaming. the streets and like if you look a. certain way disappearing you and also. people don't like traveling here when. Trump's threatening the existence of. their sovereignty so lots of Canadians. would visit Arizona that's, you know, that's down across the country in Vegas. and Arizona and elsewhere. How are you. weathering those challenges and the. headwinds that you face as a Democratic. governor in a in a purplish state?

>> Yeah. So, um economic uh growth is is a. huge um priority for me. I have worked. to continue creating good paying jobs. Under my tenure, we've created over a. 100,000. uh jobs. Uh and Arizona is one of 12. states right now that's experiencing. economic expansion. Uh but you know. there is this climate of uncertainty. from the trade war from so many other. policies uh that are just creating. uncertainty. When I talk to small.

business owners whether it's from the. tariffs or other factors they're um you. know very cautious about uh making. growth plans about hiring. So that's. definitely impacting us. But I continue. to to to keep my head down to focus on. uh what's right for Arizonans and move. forward on those policies again with. whoever wants to work with me to solve. these challenges. You brought up. housing. Housing is a huge issue not.

just here in Arizona but across the. country. And I know here in Arizona the. housing costs um have gone up and that. didn't happen overnight. We're not going. to solve it overnight, but we're taking. aggressive action to help address it. I. invested huge amounts in our state's. housing trust fund where we've been able. to build thousands of units of. affordable housing. We used that fund to. invest in down payment assistance so. Arizona families could purchase their. first home. I've signed legislation that. cuts red tape to allow for faster.

approvals to allow for for missing. middle and other housing like uh uh. accessory dwelling units or cassitas. Uh. I signed water legislation this year. that will also help solve some of our. water issues uh by converting high use. agricultural land to housing uh and and. build the housing we need in some of the. fastest air growing areas of of our. state. Um so there's not one single.

issue or solution. It's not going to. happen overnight, but we're we're. chipping away at it. And I continue to. just be focused on what's right for. Arizonans and working in a bipartisan. way to address these tough issues. >> As we talk about elections and. bipartisanship, you know, the idea of. mailin voting. Yes. Never used to be. like a partisan issue. I mean, is. mail-in's very popular in Arizona among. Republicans, Democrats, independents.

This is just a a a way to be more. efficient and secure at the same time. You're the former Secretary of State, but Republican Secretary of State, Democrat secretary, Republican, this was. never an issue that had uh these. conspiracies abounding it and and and. just the complete assault that we see by. Trump and some of these right-wing kind. of extremist about it. when when you've. ran, you've been unapologetic that. mail-in voting is should be a.

nonpartisan issue. It makes sense. You've defended it in the face of a lot. of pressure from Trump. So, talk talk to. us about that because I know it is a big. issue in the state and it's a popular. one in the state. >> Yeah. About 75% of Arizonans or or more. depending on the election utilize our. system of early voting. Uh it's been. around for decades before other states. uh implemented universal mail-in voting. Uh in fact uh David Schwikert, who's one.

of the Republicans running in this. primary when he was in the legislature, voted to implement mail-in voting. When. Andy Biggs was in the legislature, he. voted to implement the permanent early. voter list, which solidified early. voting as a safe way to participate in. elections in our state. and um now. they're locked step with the president. in attacking it. Uh it it makes no. sense. Um it it's a secure way to vote. and uh a a huge number of Arizonans.

participated participate in it. Don't. you think there's a lot of things though. that no matter what political party. you're from, people are looking at this. White House and also a lot of the kind. of magaic. environment that surrounds it and saying. it doesn't make sense. Like you you. can't just say you brought in $17. trillion when you didn't. Like you're. just you're just making up numbers and. you know why are you why are you saying. that you know inflation is gone when.

it's not? like like we're experienced. these things and like just because you. have some weirdo stuff Donald Trump. about windmills and solar like stop stop. getting rid of like like this stuff. works and we need energy like to me at a. most basic level I think that I've seen. so many Democrats, Republicans, independents just look at what's coming. out of the White House and they get this. pit in their stomach and they're like. what are you talking about? Like what. what what are you doing? Like, and. again, that to me is something beyond.

just a partisanship. It's like, huh, what the hell is this? >> Oh, yeah. I mean, it is a lot of chaos. every single day. Um, and I think that. chaos is by design to make it hard to. follow and to uh push back um because. it's like so much on so many different. levels. And you talk to folks on any. side of the political aisle who say in. private, "Oh yeah, I don't support this, but you know, you have to go along to.

get along." It's very frustrating. um that more people aren't willing to. call this out. It's hypocrisy. It's bad. policy. It's um it's it's harming it's. harming Americans for some political. ideology rather than policies that. actually work and that actually move us. forward and that actually deliver on. what you said you would do when you ran. like lowering costs, like making our. communities safer. Um whatever the issue. is. Um and and again I think how we how.

we win moving forward is um as for me. especially as governor in a state like. Arizona is focusing on the issues and. not the politics and bringing whoever to. the table is willing to have a. conversation about solving them. >> Governor, where can people find out more. about the election campaign if they want. to follow it and see more of the. positions and platforms? >> Oh, that is amazing question. Thank you. so much. Um, this is going to be a very. tough race. I need help from all over.

the place to win. Uh, and as you've. seen, uh, governors are the last line of. defense. Folks can go to katiehobs.org. to get more information about how you. can help with the campaign.
