WE WILL HEAR FROM THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ABOUT EFFORTS TO MOVE UP IN THE EARLY VOTING DEADLINE.
>>> THE LATEST ATTEMPT TO LOWER PRICES FOR FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS.
ALSO WE'LL MEET A PUPPY THAT'S IN THIS YEAR'S PUPPY BOWL.
>> MEMBERS FROM YOUR PUBLIC TELEVISION STATION.
>> GOOD EVENING, AND WELCOME.
I'M TED SIMONS.
THEY STARTED TO PUMP THE BREAKS ON THE PRESIDENT'S PROPOSAL FOR THE U.S. TO TAKE OVER GAZA.
THE SECRETARY OF STATE MARCO RUBIO SAID THE PRESIDENT DIDN'T MEAN TO PERMANENTLY REMOVE PEOPLE FROM GAZA.
>> WHAT HE'S GENEROUSLY OFFERED IS THE ABILITY OF THE UNITED STATES TO HELP WITH DEBRIS REMOVAL AND RECONSTRUCTION TO PEOPLE CAN MOVE BACK IN.
IN THE MEANTIME THEY WOULD HAVE TO LIVE SOMEWHERE.
THIS IS A UNIQUE OFFER.
ONE THAT NO OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WOULD MAKE.
IT'S ONE PEOPLE NEED TO THINK ABOUT.
>> STILL NO WORD ON WHAT HE DID MEAN.
HIS STATEMENTS WERE MET WITH CONDEMNATION FROM ARAB ALLIES.
>>> THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ACCUSED FBI LEADERS WITH INSUBORDINATION FOR THOSE NOT RELEASING INFORMATION ABOUT CORE MEMBERS THAT WORKED ON JANUARY 6th INSURRECTIONS.
MEMBERS SAID RELEASING ALL J6 INFORMATION WOULD PUT EMPLOYEES IN DANGER.
PAM BONDY WILL REVIEW ALL CASES AGAINST THE PRESIDENT.
>>> THE PRESIDENT ALSO SIGNED A EXECUTIVE ORDER BANNING ALL TRANSGENDER ATHLETES FROM PLAYING IN GIRL'S SPORTS.
>> IF YOU LET MEN TAKE OVER WOMEN SPORTS TEAMS OR INVADE YOUR LOCKER ROOMS YOU WILL BE INVESTIGATED FOR VIOLATIONS OF TITLE NINE AND RISK YOUR FEDERAL FUNDING.
THERE WILL BE NO FEDERAL FUNDING.
>> THIS WILL GIVE THEM WIDE LATITUDE TO MAKE SURE ENTITIES TO INTERPRET SEX AS THE GENDER ASSIGNED BIRR.
>>> THEY ARE SPEEDING UP ELECTION RESULTS.
THEY WILL LOOK AT BALLOTS RETURNED EARLY.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
>> THANK YOU.
>> WE SPOKE ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS.
WE SPOKE ABOUT THIS A BIT DEEPER.
THESE BILLS IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE.
>> THERE IS SENATE BILL 1011 SPONSORED BY WARREN PETERSON AND 2703 SPONSORED BY LAUREN HENDRIX.
>> WHAT DOES IT DO?
>> IT DOES EXACTLY WHAT I WAS ASKING FOR IT TO BE DONE.
MOVING OCCUPY UP HOW WE ACCOUNT FOR BALLOTS AND TABULATED BY ELECTION NIGHT.
WE HAVE 300,000 PEOPLE DROPPING OFF BALLOTS THEY WILL ALLOW MORE POLLING PLACES AND SUNDAY AND MONDAY BEFORE ELECTION DAY.
>> YOU MENTIONED YOU WOULD ALLOW VOTING ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
WHY NOT ALLOW THE EARLY BALLOTS TO BE DROPPED OFF.
WHY FRIDAY?
>> WE NEED TO GO THROUGH SIGNATURE VERIFICATIONS.
WE EITHER THEY SEND IT THROUGH THE POSTAL SERVICE BUT ONLY 40% ARE DONE THAT DAY.
YOU GOT TAKES TEN DAYS OR TWO WEEKS FOR THE COUNTY TOE GO THE THROUGH THE PROCESS OF OPENING ENVELOPES.
WE HAVE BIPARTISAN TEAMS.
AN IT SLOWS DOWN THE PROCESS.
>> IS IT POSSIBLE TO JUST SIMMABLY INVEST MORE IN STAFF AND EQUIPMENT.
I CAN SEE THE DAY OF THE ELECTION.
WE HAD COUNTER RECORDERS OVER THE YEARS SAYING THIS IS MUCKING UP THE PROCESS.
WHY NOT GET STAFF INVOLVED TO EASE INTO ALL OF THIS.
>> YOU ARE ASKING TO HIRE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE FOR THE WEEKEND AND IT'S NOT FEASIBLE.
THE COUNTIES HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING.
WE ARE TALKING RED, PURPLE, BLUE COUNTIES.
WE NOW HAVE THE ARIZONA ASSOCIATION BY THE HOUSE BILL TWO DAYS AGO.
THIS IS JUST COMMON SENSE ELECTION REFORM.
>> 95% OF ALL VOTES TABULATED BY ELECTION NIGHT.
>> YEAH, I THINK WE CAN GET THERE BY ELECTION NIGHT.
DEBBY APPEARED MARK STEWARD WERE ALL UNITED ON THIS.
THIS WOULD DO A LOT TO RESTORE FAITH IN THE SYSTEM.
PEOPLE ARE FLUSTERED AS SEEING US AS ONE OF THE FEW STATES THE WERE IN THE SYSTEM.
WE SPONGE ABOUT THIS BEFORE.
WE HAVE BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK WE NEVER HAD MISTRUST IN OUR VOTING SYSTEM.
IT'S NOT FAST ENOUGH AND THESE SORTS OF THINGS.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.
>> PEOPLE CONTESTED THE THOSE MAKING OUTLANDISH CLAIMS OR ELECTIONS PREDECIDED.
THIS IS DIFFERENT.
I GIVE SPEECHES TO NONPARTISAN GROUPS IN THE COUNTY.
LAST WEEK I SPOKE TO 300 PEOPLE.
REPUBLICANS, DEMOCRATS, AND INDEPENDENT.
I ASKED FOR A SHOW OFFHANDS WHO WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM BY ELECTION NIGHTS.
THE GOVERNOR IS OPPOSED TO THIS.
THEY ARE FLAB OR GASTED.
THE BIGGEST REASON IS IT DOESN'T MAKE VOTING EASIER FROM WHERE SHE SITS.
HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THAT?
>> IT'S CRAZY.
THE WHOLE THING IS TO MAKE IT EASIER.
THIS IS IMPROVING ACCESS TO VOTING.
WE JUST TALKED ABOUT IT.
MORE POLLING PLACES AVAILABLE.
THEY WILL HAVE WEEKEND VOTING.
IF YOU WANT TO VOTE IN PERSON YOU CAN ONLY DO IT ON TUESDAY.
WITH THE NEW LEGISLATION YOU CAN DO IT ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AND EXPANDED THE NUMBER OF DAYS.
THE GOVERNOR DOESN'T WANT THEM TO BE SUBJECTED TO THE DEADLINE FRIDAY BEFORE ELECTION DAY.
THE SHIP SAILED.
PEOPLE WANT THE CHANGE.
>> I HEARD CRITICISM IF THIS GOES THROUGH LINES WILL BE MUCH LONGER.
SOME FOLKS WILL LEAVE.
PEOPLE THAT LIKE TO DROP THEM OFF WON'T GO THROUGH THE PROCESS.
>> NOT VALID AT ALL.
WITH MY COLLEAGUE WE WANTED TO A DRESS THE ISSUE AND ALLOWING FOR SCHOOLS TO BE USED AS POLLING PLACES.
WE KNOW MORE PEOPLE SHOWING UP AND MORE THAT NEED TO VOTE IN PERSON.
WHEN THE GOVERNOR SAID THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSES.
AS FAR AS RURAL AREAS ARE CONCERNED AGAIN, YOU HAVE TO DRIVE A LONG WAY TO VOTE IN PERSON.
THE LEGISLATION ADDRESSES THERE IS AN AMENDMENT TO THE COUNTIES.
>> WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS AS WELL.
WE HAD HAVE DONE A VARIETY OF SHOWS LEADING UP TO THE ELECTION.
WE USED TO BE A RELIABLY RED STATE.
MANY OF THE RACES WERE WORRIED ABOUT THAT.
THINGS HAVE GOTTEN CLOSER AND RACES HAVE GOT I GET TIGHTER.
WITH SPEED AND DELIBERATION ON MAKING IMPROVEMENTS AND CHANGES.
5 STATES ARE DONE TABULATING VOTES ON ELECTION DAY.
14 DAYS LATER.
WE HAVE LAWS THAT ARE PRETTY SILLY AND OUTDATED AND NEED TO BE CHANGED.
IF THE MEDIA WANTS TO CALL AN ELECTION ON ELECTION NIGHT THEY CAN ONLY DO IT IF THEY ARE TABULATED BY ELECTION NIGHT.
IT HELPS OUR WORKERS AND VOLUNTEERS.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THE GOVERNOR IS DEFENDING THIS SYSTEM.
CONTACT HER AND SAY WE NEED CHANGES.
THIS IS PLACING STRAIN ON OUR SYSTEM AND I DON'T THINK IT WILL LAST.
>> WE PLAN TO HAVE THE GOVERNOR ON AS WELL.
WE WILL ASK HER ABOUT THIS TOO.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> THANK YOU, TED.
>>> LAWMAKERS WOULD LIKE TO LOWER PRICES FOR FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS.
SIMILAR LEGISLATION WAS VETOED.
THE NEW LEGISLATION LOOKS TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS.
JUSTIN AND DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVE CAESAR AGUILAR.
GOOD TO HAVE YOU BOTH HERE.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
WE ARE TALKING THE ARIZONA STARTER HOME ACT.
WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
>> WE WANT TO TACKLE THE BIG ISSUE WITH ONE OPTION TO DO IT.
THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WOULD SOLVE THIS.
THIS IS ONE THING THAT WILL SOLVE THE ENTIRE DEAL.
ALLOWING FOR UNDER A 5-ACRE TOTAL PLOT LAND AND ADD KNEW DOMICILES.
THAT'S THE BIG STOP.
>> I MEAN, OUR HOMES SHOULDN'T LOOK LIKE THEY USED TO.
IT WAS THE REPRESENTATIVE AND WHEN I KNOCKED ON DOORS THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN MY DISTRICT OR AGE GROUP.
PEOPLE ARE NOT HAVING AS MUCH AS WE COULD.
WE DON NEED THREE BEDROOM HOMES ANY MORE.
WE DON'T NEED GARAGES.
A YOUNG MARRIED FAMILY HAS ONE OR TWO CARS.
BY HAVING THIS TYPE OF LEGISLATION WE ARE CREATING ANOTHER TYPE OF HOME AFFORDABLE FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE-IN.
>> AFFORDABLE IS AN OPERATIVE WORD.
>> WHAT IS AFFORDABLE TO US IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS WATCHING THE SHOW.
IT'S A TERM THAT'S A SPIRIT LIKE A GOOD IDEA.
WE NEED MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND WE GET INTO OTHER THINGS.
>> THE SPIRIT IS KNOCKED DOWN IT'S BROUGHT UP BY FOLKS THAT WANT TO RENT THEM OUT IN TERMS OF LONG-TERM AND SHORT-TERM RENTALS.
WHERE DOES THAT SIT?
>> THAT'S ANOTHER BILL WE TRIED TO ADDRESS.
THE LAST FEW YEARS WE ADDRESSED IT AND SEPARATED THE BILL BECAUSE EVERYONE HAD DIFFERENT ISSUES WITH IT.
THIS IS ONE PIECE OF THE PUZZLE WE ARE TRYING TO ADDRESS.
THE AFFORDABILITY PART.
WHEN YOU USE LESS MATERIALS LIKE WE TRY TO DO WITH THE LAW.
IT SHOULD LOWER THE PRICE.
>> IF I'M AN INVESTOR I'LL BUY IT AND RENT IT OUT FOR SOMETHING THAT'S NOT AFFORDABLE.
WE ARE NOT TALKING STARTER BUYER HOMES HERE.
MY QUESTION FOR THE ARIZONA STARTER HOME ACT.
IS THERE ANYTHING REGARDING STARTER HOMES.
>> THE MISSION IS TO MAKE THEM AFFORDABLE.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS WE HAVE IS SUPPLY.
THERE IS MORE SUPPLY AND PRICES COME DOWN AND PRICES GO UP.
WE HAVE SEEN 200 NEW EDITIONS PER DAY.
WHAT DOES THAT DO TO SUPPLY IT WILL SLINK IT.
WE ARE TRYING TO RECOVER FROM THAT NOW ON THE HOUSING SUPPLY FRONT.
THAT'S A BIG PART OF THE PROBLEM.
>> SHOULD MARK IT DIVIDEND AND OPPOSED TO INSURING WE ARE LOOKING FOR THE STARTER HOME.
>> IF ARIZONA, THAT'S WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE WITH THE MAKEUP POLITICS.
>> WE GET IN THE BUSINESS OF TELLING COMPANIES THEY CAN'T DO THAT.
THE AVERAGE IS 38 YEARS OLD IN THE FIRST TIME.
>> I WONDER WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST HOUSE?
>> WE DON'T WANT TO GO THERE.
>> IT INFRINGES ON WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO.
THE MAYOR OF SCOTTSDALE HAS A VARIETY OF THINGS THEY TELL HER TO DO TO RUIN THE NATURE OF HER TOWN.
>> SOME CITIES DID A GREAT JOB.
IT'S NOT AGAINST THOSE CITIES THEY ARE ACTING WELL.
WE BELIEVE, AS AT LEAST I BELIEVE WE CAN DO MORE.
THEY HAVE HAVEN'T BEEN DOING ANYTHING.
>> NOT ANYTHING BUT ENOUGH THAT WE WANT.
YEAH.
>> CITIES CAN'T REQUIRE, IF I HAVE THIS RIGHT WALLS, FENCES, PRIVATE STREETS.
NO DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE REQUIREMENTS.
THAT'S A LOT OF NOES.
PEOPLE ARE SAYING, HOLD ON, THIS IS NOT WHERE I'M LIVING.
>> THOSE ARE FAIR POINTS BUT WE AREN'T INTERESTED NEW WE HAVE TO.
WE HAVE TO MAKE THE CHANGES.
ALL OF THE THINGS MANDATED IN.
THEY GET AS MANY AS POSSIBLE.
>> THE CITIES ARE CONCERNED.
>> IT'S ON THE CITY.
WITH CONSTITUENCIES.
WE ARE FACING THE SAME PROBLEM.
>> I MEAN, IT DOES ADDRESS LIKE FIRE.
THAT'S ONE THING YOU DO WANT CITIES.
YOU DON'T WANT TO BILL TO GET RID OF SO MANY SHIPPING FEES.
THE HOMES TO BURN FAST.
TO SOME POINT, I THINK AS FAR AS LAST YEARS TH TIME AROUND.
NEW ADDITIONS TOO CLOSE TO THE MILITARY.
>> THAT'S THE BIGGEST REASON.
THAT WASN'T BY BILL.
>> THAT'S HOW.
>> AND THE FIRE.
>> YOU SAY YOU DON'T WANT TO TELL CITIES WHAT TO DO BUT THAT'S THE EXACT LEGISLATION.
>> IT'S A KINGDOM THING.
THEY CAN'T DO THAT AND NOT SEVERING YOUR CITIZENS.
WHERE DOES THE LEGISLATION STAND?
>> THE HOUSE VERSION THERE IS A BILL IN THE SENATE.
EVERY VOTE, PROBABLY IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.
>> IT'S RARE THE REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS WERE ON THE SAME SET.
HOW MANY AGREED TO THIS?
>> I DON'T HAVE AN OFFICIAL NUMBER.
>> MAYBE IN GENERAL.
>> AS WE GO WE TRY TO COLLECT MORE NUMBERS ALONG THE WAY I THINK WE ARE GOING TO BONA GAUCHEATING WHAT DIFFERENT MEMBERS WANT AND WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR REPRESENTATIVE SAID HE WILL MEET WITH ANYONE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET MORE MEMBERS ONBOARD.
>> ALL RIGHT REPRESENTATIVE AGUILAR AND JUSTIN.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>>> EARLIER WE HAD A CHANCE TO VISIT ONE OF THE STAR ATHLETES IN THE PUPPY BOWL.
HER NAME IS FA LISTTY AND JOINED BY KRISTIE WORKING AT THE RESCUE IN ARIZONA RESCUE.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
THE MINUTE WE START THE INTERVIEW THERE GOES FELICITY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING FELICITY?
WHO IS FELICITY?
>> SHE'S A 6-MONTH-OLD DOBERMAN.
>> 6 MONTHS OLD?
>> YES.
>> I HEAR YOU THAT MEANS A GOOD DOG.
>> SHE'S PRETTY BIG.
>> SHE WILL BE IN THE PUPPY BOWL?
>> YES, SHE WILL BE IN THE BOWL THIS WEEKEND.
>> WHAT IS IT IN.
>> IT COMES ON ANIMAL PLANET.
IT'S WHAT YOU THINK IT MIGHT BE.
A BUNCH OF PUPPIES FROM RESCUES ACROSS THE U.S.

THEIR VERSION OF FOOTBALL.
>> THEY ARE RUNNING AROUND.
>> BASICALLY JUST RUNNING AROUND WITH FOOTBALL TOYS AND THE OBJECTIVE TO GET A TOY ACROSS THE LINE.
>> SHE'S EXCITED ABOUT SOMETHING.
>> WE HAVE HER LITTLE FOOTBALL HERE.
YEAH.
>> FELICITY IS A SPECIAL DOG, TALK ABOUT HER BACK GROUND?
>> FELICITY CAME TO US WHEN HER MOM HAD AN OBSTRUCTION.
SHE SWALLOWED SOMETHING AND NEEDED SURGERY.
THE OWNER DIDN'T WANT TO PAY FOR THE SURGERY.
SHE SURRENDERED THE LITTER TO US.
>> THAT INCLUDES A FOSTER MOP AN INCREDIBLE FOSTER MOM RAISED 10 PUPPIES SHE USED THE PROTOCOLS TO MAKE OVERALL OF THEM GOT THE RIGHT SOCIALIZATION AND WERE ABLE TO PLAY DID I HAVE REN GAMES AND CONFIDENT PUPPIES.
>> MAYBE SOME HEALTH PROBLEMS THERE AND WERE ABLE TO SURVIVE.
>> THEY HAVE 14 DOGS IN IT AND A FEW OF THEM WEREN'T VIABLE.
FELICITY MADE IT AND SHE HAD A ROUGH FEW WEEKS.
HER FOSTER MOM BLEW UP IN AN AIR MATTRESS.
SHE SLEPT WITH HER FOR TWO WEEKS AND NEEDED BOTTLE FEEDING.
>> HOW IS SHE NOW?
>> SHE'S GREAT AND NOT HUNGRY.
>> HOW DID SHE GET IN THE PUPPY BOWL?
>> WE APPLIED.
WE HAD NEVER BEEN IN BEFORE AND WE HAD TO SEND IN PHOTOS.
THE CASTING DEPART.
CALLED HER.
>> TALK ABOUT THE RESCUE OF YOUR ORGANIZATION.
TALK TO US ABOUT THAT?
>> THIS RESCUE IS ARIZONA'S DOBERMAN RESCUE.
WE HAVE 150 VOLUNTEERS.
>> IS FELL LISTTI'S STORY SIMILAR?
>> LAST YEAR WE TOOK IN 45 PUPPIES.
WE GET IN A LOT OF PUPPIES.
>> SHE SAD GIVE ME THE FOOTBALL.
>> SHE LOVES THE FOOTBALL.
>> FOR DOBERMANS, I HAVEN'T SEEN MUCH IN RECENT YEARS.
THEY WERE PRETTY COMMON AND SAW THEM PROTECTING THESE AND CONSIDERED AGGRESSIVE DOGS.
HAS ANYTHING CHANGED?
TALK ABOUT THE BREED ITSELF?
>> YEAH, THE BREED HAS BEEN A LOYAL AND ALERT BREED.
THEY LOVE TO HAVE A JOB TO DO.
I'D SAY, THEY LOVE TO BE WITH THEIR OWNERS MORE THAN DO ANY SORT OF PROTECTING.
IT'S A MYTH.
NOT MORE AGGRESS I THAN ANY OTHER DOG BREED.
THEY NEED TO BE RAISED.
[ LAUGHTER ] >> THEY NEED TO BE RAISED AS PUPPIES TO BE CONFIDENT AND SOCIAL JUST LIKE ANY OTHER BREED.
>> YEAH SOCIALIZATION IS BIG FOR THEM.
>> YOU SPOKE ABOUT A PUPPY REG MEANT.
>> I MENTIONED PUPPY CULTURE IS THE PROCESS WE USE.
IT'S A CHECKLIST OF WHAT WE DO WITH THE PUPPIES HANDLING THEIR FEET AND EXPOSING THEM TO DIFFERENT NOISES.
>> BASICALLY FOR ALL PUPPIES,.
>> ALL PUPPIES, NO MATTER THE BREED.
HAVING THIS PROTOCAL IS IMPORTANT AND LOOKING AT A RESCUE OR LOOKING FOR A PUPPY FROM A BREEDER.
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THE BREEDER IS USING SOME SORT OF PROTOCOL.
>> RIGHT, RIGHT.
HOW CAN YOU TELL?
>> ASK THEM AND DO RESEARCH WE HAVE CHECKLISTS AND YOU CAN ASK THEM AND MAKE SURE YOU TELL THEM THE TRUTH.
MAKE SHUSH THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND FOLLOW THAT SORT OF THING.
>> KNOWING WHAT YOU ARE DOING ALSO MEANS KNOWING WHATNOT TO DO.
WHAT SHOULDN'T YOU DO.
>> THEY NEED TO BE IN A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT AND REALLY INSURING THAT SOCIALIZATION IS SLOW.
SOMETIMES THEY THINK IT MEANS ANY AND EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO.
THEY HAVE TO BE COMFORTABLE WITH THE NEW EXPERIENCES THEY ARE HAVING SO IT'S POSITIVE.
>> THE FIRST FEW WEEKS ARE CRITICAL.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
THE FIRST FEW WEEKS THEY STAY WITH THE LITTER IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
THE FIRST YEAR OF THEIR LIFE, MAKING SURE YOU DO POSITIVE TRAINING AND CONTINUING UP WITH THE SOCIALIZATION IS IMPORTANT AS WELL.
>> IT WAS A PLEASURE MEETING YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS WITH THE RESCUE.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> IT WAS A PLEASURE TO MEET FELICITY.
>> SHE'S EXCITED TO BE HERE.
>> THE LIGHTS DON'T BOTHER HER BECAUSE I THINK THERE WILL BE LIGHTS AT THE PUPPY BOWL.
