How do you not make that connection?

Unfortunately, they don't.

Um, and now we have a li- insanely left liberal AG who won't even ...

I don't know why you have an AG if you won't even defend the laws.

So we have common sense laws she won't defend.

She wouldn't defend our border law.

She wouldn't defend a law that protects us from sex offenders.

This is a clear and present danger to the constitutional republic we have come to know and to love.

Eh, para alguien que no sigue de cerca la política, ¿concretamente qué significa eso y cómo cambiaría las prioridades de esa oficina?

Yeah, so, ah, ahora creo que ella está muy enfocada en perseguir sus oponentes políticas, está muy enfocado en, ah, ah, cosas del ambiente extrema.

Ah, yo quiero enfocarme más en la, la seguridad de pública y una forma en, en lo que lo voy a hacer es que voy a re-- a mejorar las relaciones entre los, ah, niveles de, de seguridad, por ejemplo, el, el, la policía estatal, ah, local, fe-federal.

Ah, voy a hacer más reuniones, más juntas.

De hecho, ah, yo tengo una relación muy bueno con ellos y todos me han dej- dij-- ah, me han dicho que, ah, la relación entre ellos y ella es, ah, es difícil y hay un, una falta de confianza entre ellos y ella y que está... hay muchas, hay Hay mucho en que ella está en contra de ellos.

Yo creo que voy a tener una relación mejor para resolver los delitos, para ayudar nuestros ciudadanos.

Es sumamente importante que las relaciones entre los diferentes niveles son muy buenos, que tienen buena comunicación.

Después de tantos años en la legislatura, eh, ¿cuál considera que es el mayor problema que enfrenta actualmente Arizona y que no recibe suficiente atención pública? ¿Y qué podría hacer usted de resultar electo como fiscal general?

What specifically about this investigation leads you to believe this was political rather than simply prosecutors concluding that they didn't have enough evidence?

Good morning, James T.

Thanks for having me on.

Well, there's a lot of things that are pointing to a cover-up here.

First of all, this should have been finished in months, not years.

She tried to bury it into a weekend dump.

She used to be a reporter, if you recall.

And if you're investigating whether there was a quid pro quo involving the governor's administration, how do you close the case without sitting across from the governor and questioning her?

What do you say to that?

Yeah.

So, well, we're not in the primary anymore.

Right.

Now in the general.

And we're focused on uniting.

At that time, my opponent was really projecting himself.

Do you believe that was the case? And if not, will you use the attorney general's office to investigate claims going back to 2020 or maybe even 2022?

Are you going to be able to mend fences with the voters that voted for Rodney Glassman to galvanize the party and to galvanize the vote you need to be victorious in the election? And if so, how do you do it?

Yeah, no, 100%.

Look, the real opponent here is Chris Mays.

It's not anybody on the Republican side of the aisle.

Everybody on the Republican side of the aisle shares the same values for the most part.

That's why they all join the Republican Party.

They all agree on the platform.

Can you talk about examples of that and why you think that's important?

Warren, do you believe Republicans are motivated enough to win this election?

Um, if they are, then we need to get them there.

I mean, I guess that's our job and part of what we're going to be doing over the next few months.

Um, they're, we're going to help people realize their families on the business, their business, their business is on the, I'm sorry, their family is on the ballot.

The business is on the ballot.

Um, and so, you know, their freedom is on the ballot and, uh, we're going to help people see that and recognize that, um, this fall, you know, I'm running against a person.

who thinks that men can be women.

Warren, what is Chris Mays biggest vulnerability in your opinion?

Are you planning to prosecute or to go after those people and deport them?

Yeah.

So if you follow the whole thread, you'll see that that is not what was said.

It was me saying that Chris Mays was supporting DACA days, what she was saying, and saying it was protected by the Constitution.

And I was saying that there's DACA is not found in the Constitution.

So then she started to turn that over to Peterson's going to it was her and the Arizona Mirror that were saying that I would deport DACA.

I wasn't talking about that.

So how do you get by

Where is the compromise in this budget? In your mind, what are the wins for you? And then where was some compromise?

Yeah, well, absolute win for the Republican legislature and for the citizens of Arizona.

And first of all, Mike, I want to give kudos to the House.

especially Speaker Montenegro and his leadership.

Without us being united, you don't deliver this type of a package.

As you may recall, we have put this on her desk a couple of times, and she's vetoed it, and now she is going to sign it this time.

But the biggest win, of course, is for the citizens.

Where were some areas that you think it could have been better and some areas where you had to make some concessions so that you could get the major things like the tax cuts approved? Where was some areas you feel like you had to make some compromise?

You know, for listeners just starting to pay attention to this race, why are you running for Attorney General, and what makes you the right person for the job?

Thank you, James T.

Well, I'm running for Arizona Attorney General because Arizona's a very special state.

I do not wanna allow it to turn into California.

And I'm running to make sure that Arizona remains safe, free, and prosperous.

But if you've been following our current AG, she's been taking us another direction, towards California actually.

Um, when she has failed to stand up and protect girls in sports, I've st- I've stepped up.

As attorney general, what would you be looking at to draw people, to attract people to the great State of Arizona?

So where did you find the waste and who had to give something up to make this happen?

Yeah, so we had a, we're shrinking government and a 5%, uh, reduction in agency operations.

Um, we also got rid of some Coney capitalism, uh, a taxing district that was, you know, fleecing the taxpayer.

We, uh, took from that.

And, uh, so it's coming from government and, uh, we're shrinking government.

Our budget's almost a billion dollars less than what Katie Hobbs had put forward.

And that's a good thing for Arizona.

What are the real odds that Governor Katie Hobbs signs this? And if she vetoes it, are Republicans prepared to hold the line or go back to the negotiating table?

You put on X, "It's kind of a r- a recipe for disaster because you have these masked federal officers," you know, and you put up the quote that she put in here, and you said, "Her weak lawyerly language games don't undo the damage she's done here." Explain that.

So Kris Mayes, with her dangerous rhetoric, and by the way, she was completely wrong on the law.

This is why she loses in court all the time and costs Arizona taxpayers millions of doll- wasted dollars.

She's wrong on the law.

You cannot shoot, uh, an ICE officer, um, using the stand-your-ground laws.

There is an exception.

Right in the statute it says this does not apply to law enforcement.

You know, how will they interpret that? How will they construe that? How will they apply that? Uh, it sounds to me like she's saying basically you have a right to f- fire, uh, back at anybody you don't like.
