And they're trying to pull it out because that disintegration allows for the rise of authoritarianism.

Now, all of that having been said, these things will work themselves out in my view, because the American people are resilient and we understand

that this is a whole bunch of noise to distract us from this real notion

of our power, our power not only out in the streets, but our power at the ballot box.

And this is why it is all so important.

It is why we had a revolution because consent of the governed is a critical piece of why 250 years ago, we got a declaration of independence from an oligarch in the form of King George.

It is why in Arizona, we are choosing to again move

forward beyond what we believe is going to be a good outcome because I believe in the American people.

And so to that end, we've introduced a Voters First Act here in Arizona.

You can do azvotersfirst.com to find out what we're doing to try to reinstill a voter-centric

of election protocol here in Arizona, instead of just limiting and restricting the access that voters have, because access and security are not mutually exclusive.

And again, this is just the way that we wanna establish a framework so that the power of the American people through our election systems is manifest.

But we can't just totally lose our minds because of all of the stuff that you mentioned and so many other things.

We have to stay focused on the prize.

And the prize is maintenance of the power of the people.

All of these other things can and will, in my view, work themselves out.

I'm a man of faith and I believe in the American people.

That's part of where my faith is anchored.

But I also understand that the process by which that power becomes is through elections.

And so that's why we're doing what we're doing in Arizona.
