campaign and she did an 
incredible job. I wanted her to

work in my congressional 

293
00:45:13,601 --> 00:45:15,067
work in my congressional 
office, but because of 

294
00:45:15,067 --> 00:45:16,468
office, but because of 
mean-spirited laws that have 

295
00:45:16,468 --> 00:45:17,834
mean-spirited laws that have 
been previously passed, 

296
00:45:17,834 --> 00:45:18,801
been previously passed, 
Dreamers aren’t allowed to work 

297
00:45:18,801 --> 00:45:19,535

in Congress. We’re gonna fix 

298
00:45:19,535 --> 00:45:22,734

that because Ellie needs to be.

particular. In the impeachment, 

431
00:48:58,735 --> 00:49:00,699

political reasons, but because

00:58:17,367 --> 00:58:19,301
guys in on a little. It’s not 
really a secret, but I don’t it 

737
00:58:19,301 --> 00:58:21,335
really a secret, but I don’t it 
doesn’t come up a lot. I was 

738
00:58:21,335 --> 00:58:23,502
doesn’t come up a lot. I was 
born in Arizona, I was born in 

739
00:58:23,502 --> 00:58:26,667
born in Arizona, I was born in 
Winslow, Arizona because my 

740
00:58:26,667 --> 00:58:27,469
Winslow, Arizona because my 
grandparents worked on the 

741
00:58:27,469 --> 00:58:29,702
grandparents worked on the 
railroad in Winslow for almost 

742
00:58:29,702 --> 00:58:32,101
railroad in Winslow for almost 
a half a century. It was a time 

743
00:58:32,101 --> 00:58:34,535
a half a century. It was a time 
when Native Americans were uh 

744
00:58:34,535 --> 00:58:36,902
when Native Americans were uh 
they were the. US government 

745
00:58:36,902 --> 00:58:38,201
they were the. US government 
was trying to assimilate us so 

746
00:58:38,201 --> 00:58:40,703
was trying to assimilate us so 
that we could get out of our 

747
00:58:40,703 --> 00:58:42,001
that we could get out of our 
communities and be part of 

748
00:58:42,001 --> 00:58:43,803
communities and be part of 
mainstream America. Well, it 

749
00:58:43,803 --> 00:58:45,167
mainstream America. Well, it 
worked a little bit, but it 

750
00:58:45,167 --> 00:58:48,502
worked a little bit, but it 
didn’t always work. We uh we 

751
00:58:48,502 --> 00:58:50,268
didn’t always work. We uh we 
held fast onto our culture and 

752
00:58:50,268 --> 00:58:54,067
held fast onto our culture and 
our traditions and we kept 

753
00:58:54,067 --> 00:58:55,735
our traditions and we kept 
sight of our communities back 

754
00:58:55,735 --> 00:58:57,534
sight of our communities back 
home because we absolutely 

755
00:58:57,534 --> 00:58:59,767
home because we absolutely 
wanted to make sure of that 

756
00:58:59,767 --> 00:59:02,032
wanted to make sure of that 
that culture and tradition was 

757
00:59:02,032 --> 00:59:03,801
that culture and tradition was 
there for generations to come 

758
00:59:03,801 --> 00:59:09,066
there for generations to come 
and so I.. Now uh to know that 

759
00:59:09,066 --> 00:59:13,233
and so I.. Now uh to know that 
um that part of Arizona this 

760
00:59:13,233 --> 00:59:14,500
um that part of Arizona this 
district in Arizona is in good 

761
00:59:14,500 --> 00:59:16,567

lives are absolutely important 

793
01:00:20,201 --> 01:00:21,635

and that their safety is 

794
01:00:21,635 --> 01:00:23,603

issues and so many more forward 
and I can’t think of a better 

808
01:00:49,035 --> 01:00:52,136
and I can’t think of a better 
person to be by my side doing 

809
01:00:52,136 --> 01:00:54,635
person to be by my side doing 
that my colleague Greg Stanton

01:00:56,169 --> 01:00:59,201
this year I wanted to just make 
sure we remember that this was 

812
01:00:59,201 --> 01:01:01,003
sure we remember that this was 
the hundredth year of the 

813
01:01:01,003 --> 01:01:02,469
the hundredth year of the 
ratification of the Nineteenth 

814
01:01:02,469 --> 01:01:04,767
ratification of the Nineteenth 
Amendment. That was such a huge 

815
01:01:04,767 --> 01:01:07,135
Amendment. That was such a huge 
feat and a catapulted women in 

816
01:01:07,135 --> 01:01:08,735
feat and a catapulted women in 
the quality the women’s 

817
01:01:08,735 --> 01:01:10,734
the quality the women’s 
equality movement right here in 

818
01:01:10,734 --> 01:01:11,400
equality movement right here in 
the United States, and 

819
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:12,734
the United States, and 
sometimes when I think about 

820
01:01:12,734 --> 01:01:15,335
sometimes when I think about 
all those women out there uh 

821
01:01:15,335 --> 01:01:17,935
all those women out there uh 
getting beat on uh getting 

822

how hard fought it was that now

01:01:27,069 --> 01:01:28,568
how hard fought it was that now 
that this and we think about 

826
01:01:28,568 --> 01:01:30,568
that this and we think about 
this being an election year, we 

827
01:01:30,568 --> 01:01:34,035
this being an election year, we 
have an obligation to stand up.

01:04:32,599 --> 01:04:35,665
actually in this seat Uh he was 
a former uh or former health 

916
01:04:35,665 --> 01:04:38,133
a former uh or former health 
secretary in New Mexico. Uh she 

917
01:04:38,133 --> 01:04:40,867
secretary in New Mexico. Uh she 
knew exactly what. Do when uh 

918
01:04:40,867 --> 01:04:44,100
knew exactly what. Do when uh 
when it came to the United 

919
01:04:44,100 --> 01:04:45,000
when it came to the United 
States, she knew exactly what 

920
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:46,933
States, she knew exactly what 
to do and that was to follow 

921
01:04:46,933 --> 01:04:48,867
to do and that was to follow 
the advice of the scientists 

922
01:04:48,867 --> 01:04:51,333
the advice of the scientists 
she put her uh health care 

923
01:04:51,333 --> 01:04:53,967
she put her uh health care 
professionals front and center. 

924
01:04:53,967 --> 01:04:56,100
professionals front and center. 
she followed their direction 

925
01:04:56,100 --> 01:04:57,633
she followed their direction 
and you know there were a lot 

926
01:04:57,633 --> 01:04:59,100
and you know there were a lot 
of folks pushing back on her, 

927
01:04:59,100 --> 01:05:00,701
of folks pushing back on her, 
but I think she’s done the 

928
01:05:00,701 --> 01:05:03,001
but I think she’s done the 
right thing she has made a mask 

929
01:05:03,001 --> 01:05:04,835
right thing she has made a mask 
mandate for one thing in New 

930
01:05:04,835 --> 01:05:06,603
mandate for one thing in New 
Mexico. Uh she is banned large 

931
01:05:06,603 --> 01:05:09,968
Mexico. Uh she is banned large 
groups of people so uh. Look II 

932
01:05:09,968 --> 01:05:12,602
groups of people so uh. Look II 
really admire when our leaders 

933
01:05:12,602 --> 01:05:14,134
really admire when our leaders 
listen to the health care 

934
01:05:14,134 --> 01:05:16,269
listen to the health care 
professionals because I’m not a 

935
01:05:16,269 --> 01:05:18,169
professionals because I’m not a 
health care professional. I 

936
01:05:18,169 --> 01:05:20,202
health care professional. I 
don’t know what to do uh but I 

937
01:05:20,202 --> 01:05:22,001
don’t know what to do uh but I 
know that I that I need to 

938
01:05:22,001 --> 01:05:24,134
know that I that I need to 
listen to the folks who do know 

939
01:05:24,134 --> 01:05:27,101
listen to the folks who do know 
and so I’m very proud of our 

940
01:05:27,101 --> 01:05:29,701
and so I’m very proud of our 
governor for making those 

941
01:05:29,701 --> 01:05:30,600
governor for making those 
decisions and look Greg. You 

942
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:32,703
decisions and look Greg. You 
know also that we had a 

943
01:05:32,703 --> 01:05:34,168
know also that we had a 
tremendous challenge with our 

944
01:05:34,168 --> 01:05:36,535
tremendous challenge with our 
Native American communities and 

945
01:05:36,535 --> 01:05:38,169
Native American communities and 
I just wanna say for a second 

946
01:05:38,169 --> 01:05:40,269
I just wanna say for a second 
that this pandemic is 

947
01:05:40,269 --> 01:05:41,268
that this pandemic is 
highlighted the disparities in 

948
01:05:41,268 --> 01:05:44,601
highlighted the disparities in 
communities of color and um. So 

949
01:05:44,601 --> 01:05:46,334
communities of color and um. So 
I think that now when we’re 

950
01:05:46,334 --> 01:05:47,702
I think that now when we’re 
working on our stimulus bills 

951
01:05:47,702 --> 01:05:50,202
working on our stimulus bills 
and we’re moving bills forward, 

952
01:05:50,202 --> 01:05:53,203
and we’re moving bills forward, 
uh we can see where the 

953
01:05:53,203 --> 01:05:55,034
uh we can see where the 
disparities are for um 

954
01:05:55,034 --> 01:05:57,234
disparities are for um 
broadband Internet service for 

955
01:05:57,234 --> 01:06:00,633
broadband Internet service for 
infrastructure for health care 

956
01:06:00,633 --> 01:06:02,467
infrastructure for health care 
infrastructure and all of those 

957
01:06:02,467 --> 01:06:06,165
infrastructure and all of those 
things that um that we know 

958
01:06:06,165 --> 01:06:08,567
things that um that we know 
where the resources need to go 

959
01:06:08,567 --> 01:06:13,466
where the resources need to go 
and so um so I’m anxious to get 

960
01:06:13,466 --> 01:06:16,400
and so um so I’m anxious to get 
moving on. Of these things and 

961
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:18,567
moving on. Of these things and 
it’s it’s so important and I 

962
01:06:18,567 --> 01:06:20,100
it’s it’s so important and I 
thank you for asking that 

963
01:06:20,100 --> 01:06:22,067
thank you for asking that 
question. uh uh Deb. I’m lucky 

964
01:06:22,067 --> 01:06:22,634
question. uh uh Deb. I’m lucky 
enough to serve on the 

965
01:06:22,634 --> 01:06:24,067
enough to serve on the 
transportation infrastructure 

966
01:06:24,067 --> 01:06:26,200
transportation infrastructure 
committee. I’m the only Arizona 

967
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:26,734
committee. I’m the only Arizona 
member on that committee, so I 

968
01:06:26,734 --> 01:06:28,366
member on that committee, so I 
take my responsibility as 

969
01:06:28,366 --> 01:06:30,100
take my responsibility as 
statewide. I don’t just 

970
01:06:30,100 --> 01:06:30,867
statewide. I don’t just 
represent one district. I’ve 

971
01:06:30,867 --> 01:06:32,167
represent one district. I’ve 
got to help bring 

972
01:06:32,167 --> 01:06:34,067
got to help bring 
infrastructure to the entire 

973
01:06:34,067 --> 01:06:35,567
infrastructure to the entire 
state, including the Navajo 

974
01:06:35,567 --> 01:06:37,167
state, including the Navajo 
Nation, which we share in New 

975
01:06:37,167 --> 01:06:38,767
Nation, which we share in New 
Mexico and in Arizona, and 

976
01:06:38,767 --> 01:06:39,934
Mexico and in Arizona, and 
maybe you could talk a little 

977
01:06:39,934 --> 01:06:42,034
maybe you could talk a little 
bit about infrastructure needs 

978
01:06:42,034 --> 01:06:45,700
bit about infrastructure needs 
on our tribal nations. 

979
01:06:45,700 --> 01:06:47,634
on our tribal nations. 
Absolutely so Greg one of the 

980
01:06:47,634 --> 01:06:49,100
Absolutely so Greg one of the 
most important infrastructure 

981
01:06:49,100 --> 01:06:51,600
most important infrastructure 
needs that I that I just 

982
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:52,200
needs that I that I just 
believe wholeheartedly that 

983
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:53,600
believe wholeheartedly that 
I’ve worked on since I’ve been 

984
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:56,333
I’ve worked on since I’ve been 
in Congress is broadband 

985
01:06:56,333 --> 01:06:58,734
in Congress is broadband 
internet. um you know, there’s 

986
01:06:58,734 --> 01:07:00,468
internet. um you know, there’s 
some areas that you have the 

987
01:07:00,468 --> 01:07:02,668
some areas that you have the 
Navajo Nation in Arizona, so 

988
01:07:02,668 --> 01:07:04,168
Navajo Nation in Arizona, so 
you know how rural those areas 

989
01:07:04,168 --> 01:07:07,501
you know how rural those areas 
are and sometimes it could take 

990
01:07:07,501 --> 01:07:09,101
are and sometimes it could take 
somebody 3 hours to get to a 

991
01:07:09,101 --> 01:07:11,635
somebody 3 hours to get to a 
doctor or a clinic or a 

992
01:07:11,635 --> 01:07:13,635
doctor or a clinic or a 
hospital. And so if we if 

993
01:07:13,635 --> 01:07:15,634
hospital. And so if we if 
everybody could make use of 

994
01:07:15,634 --> 01:07:17,235
everybody could make use of 
broadband Internet service, 

995
01:07:17,235 --> 01:07:19,403
broadband Internet service, 
telehealth might be a reality 

996
01:07:19,403 --> 01:07:21,735
telehealth might be a reality 
for some. Very rural 

997
01:07:21,735 --> 01:07:23,502
for some. Very rural 
communities who don’t have the 

998
01:07:23,502 --> 01:07:25,568
communities who don’t have the 
means or don’t have the time to 

999
01:07:25,568 --> 01:07:28,201
means or don’t have the time to 
drive in to a doctor every 

1000
01:07:28,201 --> 01:07:29,735
drive in to a doctor every 
single time they need to see 

1001
01:07:29,735 --> 01:07:33,134
single time they need to see 
one um likewise the education 

1002
01:07:33,134 --> 01:07:35,602
one um likewise the education 
system that has largely moved 

1003
01:07:35,602 --> 01:07:37,902
system that has largely moved 
to a virtual format Um it’s 

1004
01:07:37,902 --> 01:07:39,935
to a virtual format Um it’s 
left a lot of children out 

1005
01:07:39,935 --> 01:07:41,035
left a lot of children out 
because they don’t have 

1006
01:07:41,035 --> 01:07:42,535
because they don’t have 
broadband. That’s one of the 

1007
01:07:42,535 --> 01:07:44,169
broadband. That’s one of the 
most important infrastructure 

1008
01:07:44,169 --> 01:07:45,568
most important infrastructure 
needs that I think every single 

1009
01:07:45,568 --> 01:07:47,635
needs that I think every single 
rural community in this country 

1010
01:07:47,635 --> 01:07:48,768
rural community in this country 
needs and I’m gonna keep 

1011
01:07:48,768 --> 01:07:50,468
needs and I’m gonna keep 
fighting for that. but 

1012
01:07:50,468 --> 01:07:52,900
fighting for that. but 
absolutely. You know unless 

1013
01:07:52,900 --> 01:07:55,403
absolutely. You know unless 
you’ve been out um on the 

1014
01:07:55,403 --> 01:07:58,568
you’ve been out um on the 
Navajo Nation uh during a 

1015
01:07:58,568 --> 01:08:00,335
Navajo Nation uh during a 
strong rain uh and you don’t 

1016
01:08:00,335 --> 01:08:03,035
strong rain uh and you don’t 
have a four-wheel drive. uh 

1017
01:08:03,035 --> 01:08:04,835
have a four-wheel drive. uh 
it’s pretty tough when uh when 

1018
01:08:04,835 --> 01:08:08,568
it’s pretty tough when uh when 
the roads gets uh muddy and 

1019
01:08:08,568 --> 01:08:12,168
the roads gets uh muddy and 
gouge out right um so yes we 

1020
01:08:12,168 --> 01:08:14,735
gouge out right um so yes we 
always need infrastructure in 

1021
01:08:14,735 --> 01:08:17,534
always need infrastructure in 
areas people should be able to 

1022
01:08:17,534 --> 01:08:20,568
areas people should be able to 
um to to move freely because 

1023
01:08:20,568 --> 01:08:22,635
um to to move freely because 
that impacts their ability at 

1024
01:08:22,635 --> 01:08:24,002
that impacts their ability at 
economic development. 

1025
01:08:24,002 --> 01:08:26,168
economic development. 
development and so many other. 

1026
01:08:26,168 --> 01:08:27,935
development and so many other. 
Education health care economic 

1027
01:08:27,935 --> 01:08:29,267
Education health care economic 
development so um so yes, I’m 

1028
01:08:29,267 --> 01:08:30,869
development so um so yes, I’m 
ready to work with you on a 

1029
01:08:30,869 --> 01:08:33,335
ready to work with you on a 
great big infrastructure Bill. 

1030
01:08:33,335 --> 01:08:34,835
great big infrastructure Bill. 
Greg that’ll connect everyone 

1031
01:08:34,835 --> 01:08:37,067
Greg that’ll connect everyone 
and make sure that they need. 

1032
01:08:37,067 --> 01:08:38,268
and make sure that they need. 
Alright. Nicole is a question I 

1033
01:08:38,268 --> 01:08:40,701
Alright. Nicole is a question I 
have a question uh 

1034
01:08:40,701 --> 01:08:42,201
have a question uh 
Congresswoman Holland at my 

1035
01:08:42,201 --> 01:08:44,535
Congresswoman Holland at my 
question is really about the 

1036
01:08:44,535 --> 01:08:46,668
question is really about the 
attack recently on really the 

1037
01:08:46,668 --> 01:08:48,568
attack recently on really the 
integrity of our elections 

1038
01:08:48,568 --> 01:08:50,569
integrity of our elections 
mail-in ballots absentee 

1039
01:08:50,569 --> 01:08:52,668
mail-in ballots absentee 
ballots the last time Greg had 

1040
01:08:52,668 --> 01:08:55,568
ballots the last time Greg had 
to travel back for a vote. Was 

1041
01:08:55,568 --> 01:08:57,203
to travel back for a vote. Was 
on additional funding for the 

1042
01:08:57,203 --> 01:08:58,735
on additional funding for the 
US Postal service and I 

1043
01:08:58,735 --> 01:09:00,335
US Postal service and I 
remember these travels back to 

1044
01:09:00,335 --> 01:09:02,502
remember these travels back to 
DC because during this pandemic 

1045
01:09:02,502 --> 01:09:06,169
DC because during this pandemic 
we have a very rigorous 

1046
01:09:06,169 --> 01:09:07,002
we have a very rigorous 
decontamination routine in our 

1047
01:09:07,002 --> 01:09:09,267
decontamination routine in our 
house when Greg gets back from 

1048
01:09:09,267 --> 01:09:11,767
house when Greg gets back from 
DC, where he has to jump in our 

1049
01:09:11,767 --> 01:09:12,335
DC, where he has to jump in our 
pool after being on a long 

1050
01:09:12,335 --> 01:09:14,201
pool after being on a long 
flight so that he comes in to 

1051
01:09:14,201 --> 01:09:16,168
flight so that he comes in to 
our house safely and he 

1052
01:09:16,168 --> 01:09:18,567
our house safely and he 
graciously does that, but my 

1053
01:09:18,567 --> 01:09:21,301
graciously does that, but my 
question for you is how 

1054
01:09:21,301 --> 01:09:24,136
question for you is how 
concerned are you about these 

1055
01:09:24,136 --> 01:09:26,869
concerned are you about these 
attacks on the validity of the 

1056
01:09:26,869 --> 01:09:29,569
attacks on the validity of the 
election and the integrity. The 

1057
01:09:29,569 --> 01:09:32,735
election and the integrity. The 
process as we had forward to 

1058
01:09:32,735 --> 01:09:34,335
process as we had forward to 
November and what you know, 

1059
01:09:34,335 --> 01:09:36,869
November and what you know, 
most people think is the most 

1060
01:09:36,869 --> 01:09:39,035
most people think is the most 
important election of our 

1061
01:09:39,035 --> 01:09:42,102
important election of our 
lifetime. Absolutely I am 

1062
01:09:42,102 --> 01:09:44,467
lifetime. Absolutely I am 
absolutely concerned uh this is 

1063
01:09:44,467 --> 01:09:45,868
absolutely concerned uh this is 
the most important election of 

1064
01:09:45,868 --> 01:09:48,501
the most important election of 
our lifetime and not only that 

1065
01:09:48,501 --> 01:09:51,100
our lifetime and not only that 
but the United States Postal 

1066
01:09:51,100 --> 01:09:53,667
but the United States Postal 
service uh that is a 

1067
01:09:53,667 --> 01:09:56,335
service uh that is a

wasn’t always this way. We 

1075
01:10:12,201 --> 01:10:14,169
wasn’t always this way. We 
can’t always just hop on the 

1076
01:10:14,169 --> 01:10:15,634
can’t always just hop on the 
computer and send an email to 

1077
01:10:15,634 --> 01:10:17,535
computer and send an email to 
someone or send them a text. um

people sent letters to the post 
office for centuries uh because 

1080
01:10:22,134 --> 01:10:24,068

it was important that they stay 

1081
01:10:24,068 --> 01:10:26,267
it was important that they stay 
in communication this time 

1082
01:10:26,267 --> 01:10:28,068
in communication this time 
around during this pandemic uh 

1083

1085
01:10:32,668 --> 01:10:34,335
vote, and it’s uh actually 
unnecessary the post office 

1086
01:10:34,335 --> 01:10:36,635
unnecessary the post office 
should be able to handle the 

1087
01:10:36,635 --> 01:10:40,935
should be able to handle the 
all of the ballots that um that 

1088
01:10:40,935 --> 01:10:44,201
all of the ballots that um that 
are foreseen to be cast uh

right now, but I was here in DC 

1095
01:10:56,868 --> 01:10:59,067
right now, but I was here in DC 
for that vote because we have 

1096
01:10:59,067 --> 01:11:01,403
for that vote because we have

looking down from the gallery 

1493
01:23:54,900 --> 01:23:58,066
looking down from the gallery 
to the floor of the house. And 

1494
01:23:58,066 --> 01:24:00,569
to the floor of the house. And 
as it was the most diverse 

1495

as it was the most diverse 
class ever elected in Congress

1515
01:24:40,901 --> 01:24:42,335
purpose like you don’t have to 
question where she stands and 

1516
01:24:42,335 --> 01:24:44,168
question where she stands and 
she does it with such 

1517
01:24:44,168 --> 01:24:46,069
she does it with such 
intelligence and dignity, and 

1518
01:24:46,069 --> 01:24:47,535
intelligence and dignity, and 
so when she speaks, she’s one 

1519
01:24:47,535 --> 01:24:49,601
so when she speaks, she’s one 
of the members of Congress 

1520
01:24:49,601 --> 01:24:51,169
of the members of Congress 
where both sides of the aisle 

1521
01:24:51,169 --> 01:24:52,803
where both sides of the aisle 
will stop and listen because 

1522
01:24:52,803 --> 01:24:54,134
will stop and listen because 
you know you’re gonna hear 

1523
01:24:54,134 --> 01:24:55,068
you know you’re gonna hear 
something a perspective that 

1524
01:24:55,068 --> 01:24:56,202
something a perspective that 
maybe you haven’t thought of 

1525
01:24:56,202 --> 01:24:57,735
maybe you haven’t thought of 
before she brings it 

1526
01:24:57,735 --> 01:24:58,535
before she brings it 
experience. obviously that very 

1527
01:24:58,535 --> 01:25:00,368
experience. obviously that very 
few members of Congress uh 

1528
01:25:00,368 --> 01:25:01,769
few members of Congress uh 
bring to the uh bring to the 

1529
01:25:01,769 --> 01:25:03,335
bring to the uh bring to the 
table and she’s really like 

1530
01:25:03,335 --> 01:25:07,401
table and she’s really like 
just um. Purposeful leadership 

1531
01:25:07,401 --> 01:25:09,101
just um. Purposeful leadership 
uh you can see in her. Yeah. I 

1532
01:25:09,101 --> 01:25:10,568
uh you can see in her. Yeah. I 
think the other thing that I 

1533
01:25:10,568 --> 01:25:12,035
think the other thing that I 
would say is that you know I 

1534
01:25:12,035 --> 01:25:13,835
would say is that you know I 
think particularly in this time 

1535
01:25:13,835 --> 01:25:15,102
think particularly in this time 
that we’re living in where 

1536
01:25:15,102 --> 01:25:17,569
that we’re living in where 
where politics has become so 

1537
01:25:17,569 --> 01:25:19,403
where politics has become so 
divisive, and it seems like the 

1538
01:25:19,403 --> 01:25:21,402
divisive, and it seems like the 
Loudest voices are drowning out 

1539
01:25:21,402 --> 01:25:22,803
Loudest voices are drowning out 
and those are the ones that are 

1540
01:25:22,803 --> 01:25:24,201
and those are the ones that are 
heard and yet you see someone 

1541
01:25:24,201 --> 01:25:27,201
heard and yet you see someone 
like Congresswoman Holland um 

1542
01:25:27,201 --> 01:25:29,569
like Congresswoman Holland um 
having her. It’s this quiet 

1543
01:25:29,569 --> 01:25:30,735
having her. It’s this quiet

correct. I think that the power 
that mayors bring to the team 

1614
01:28:03,268 --> 01:28:05,568
that mayors bring to the team 
when it comes to decisions, 

1615
01:28:05,568 --> 01:28:07,402
when it comes to decisions, 
especially during this crisis 

1616
01:28:07,402 --> 01:28:11,167
especially during this crisis 
have um has been very important 

1617
01:28:11,167 --> 01:28:14,334
have um has been very important 
um mayors are in the front line 

1618
01:28:14,334 --> 01:28:17,701
um mayors are in the front line 
of uh governments and um I have 

1619
01:28:17,701 --> 01:28:20,201
of uh governments and um I have 
been very lucky to have a group 

1620
01:28:20,201 --> 01:28:22,134
been very lucky to have a group 
of mayors and those that have 

1621
01:28:22,134 --> 01:28:26,068
of mayors and those that have 
been mayors in terms of. I’m 

1622
01:28:26,068 --> 01:28:28,168
been mayors in terms of. I’m 
lucky that my sister mayor 

1623
01:28:28,168 --> 01:28:31,102
lucky that my sister mayor 
Mayor Kate Gallego and mayoral 

1624
01:28:31,102 --> 01:28:32,600
Mayor Kate Gallego and mayoral 
Evans, including Mayor Anna 

1625
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:35,268
Evans, including Mayor Anna 
from Tolson uh so many other 

1626
01:28:35,268 --> 01:28:37,568
from Tolson uh so many other 
mayors throughout Arizona have 

1627
01:28:37,568 --> 01:28:40,735
mayors throughout Arizona have 
been able to discuss and talk 

1628
01:28:40,735 --> 01:28:45,635
been able to discuss and talk 
and fight for um for the health 

1629
01:28:45,635 --> 01:28:47,968
and fight for um for the health 
and safety of our residents. I 

1630
01:28:47,968 --> 01:28:48,602
and safety of our residents. I 
think it’s even clearer than 

1631
01:28:48,602 --> 01:28:51,168
think it’s even clearer than 
that. I think it’s that if the 

1632
01:28:51,168 --> 01:28:52,234
that. I think it’s that if the 
governor had empowered mayors 

1633
01:28:52,234 --> 01:28:53,501
governor had empowered mayors 
and not taken away power from 

1634
01:28:53,501 --> 01:28:56,602
and not taken away power from 
mayor. We would not have made 

1635
01:28:56,602 --> 01:28:57,802
mayor. We would not have made 
national and international 

1636
01:28:57,802 --> 01:28:59,635
national and international 
headlines for being the worst 

1637
01:28:59,635 --> 01:29:01,735
headlines for being the worst 
performing state for so many 

1638
01:29:01,735 --> 01:29:03,202
performing state for so many 
months if the leadership have 

1639
01:29:03,202 --> 01:29:04,135
months if the leadership have 
been given to the mayors who 

1640
01:29:04,135 --> 01:29:06,134
been given to the mayors who 
would have made science-based 

1641
01:29:06,134 --> 01:29:07,803
would have made science-based 
decisions and not political 

1642
01:29:07,803 --> 01:29:10,101
decisions and not political 
decisions lives would have been 

1643
01:29:10,101 --> 01:29:11,335
decisions lives would have been 
saved in the state of Arizona, 

1644
01:29:11,335 --> 01:29:12,668
saved in the state of Arizona, 
so you’re being wonderfully 

1645
01:29:12,668 --> 01:29:14,035
so you’re being wonderfully 
diplomatic, but let’s be 

1646

when hell was deserved because 

1648
01:29:17,803 --> 01:29:18,469
when hell was deserved because 
you were fighting for the 

1649
01:29:18,469 --> 01:29:21,869
you were fighting for the 
people of Tucson and all of 

1650
01:29:21,869 --> 01:29:23,268

Arizona. absolutely and you

for what we believe to be true 
and what we need to be true as 

1657
01:29:39,702 --> 01:29:42,201
and what we need to be true as 
mayors was that we had to act 

1658
01:29:42,201 --> 01:29:45,401

and I talk regularly and one 

1766
01:33:40,734 --> 01:33:43,167
and I talk regularly and one 
thing we agree on this is a 

1767
01:33:43,167 --> 01:33:47,033
thing we agree on this is a 
lesson for governors all across 

1768
01:33:47,033 --> 01:33:48,567
lesson for governors all across 
America when you preempt the 

1769
01:33:48,567 --> 01:33:49,800
America when you preempt the 
mayors, whether it comes to 

1770
01:33:49,800 --> 01:33:51,200
mayors, whether it comes to 
public health policy like in 

1771
01:33:51,200 --> 01:33:53,667
public health policy like in 
the crisis, whether it’s 

1772
01:33:53,667 --> 01:33:55,067
the crisis, whether it’s 
preempt mayors on economic 

1773
01:33:55,067 --> 01:33:56,100
preempt mayors on economic 
development tools, whether it’s 

1774
01:33:56,100 --> 01:33:57,667
development tools, whether it’s 
preempt or environmental 

1775
01:33:57,667 --> 01:33:59,100
preempt or environmental 
policy, it never goes well, you 

1776
01:33:59,100 --> 01:34:00,601
policy, it never goes well, you 
should actually utilize your 

1777
01:34:00,601 --> 01:34:02,101
should actually utilize your 
talented mayors and not go the 

1778
01:34:02,101 --> 01:34:03,668
talented mayors and not go the 
opposite direction. So we share
