Arizona Politics Under the Microscope

Attorney General Chris Mays Under Fire

Attorney General Chris Mays appears to be ramping up actions against elected officials in Arizona, raising questions about priorities and partisan motivations. Attorney Rodney Glassman, who is running for Attorney General, shared his perspective on the current administration and his vision for the office.

"Chris Mays ran on suing President Trump, indicting good Republicans because they supported President Trump, hating cops, hating kids, and suing businesses. And in 2022, she got elected," Glassman stated. "She's doing everything that she promised the liberals she would do."

Glassman highlighted concerns about Mays using taxpayer dollars to file lawsuits that are subsequently dismissed by the courts. "Every time she files one of these lawsuits and loses, she sends out a press release and then she sends out an email asking liberals across the country for money."

The attorney general in Arizona is independently elected, not appointed by the governor or legislature. This means the office holder answers directly to the people. Glassman emphasized that the Attorney General runs the largest law office in Arizona with over 400 attorneys and 1,000 support staff, providing legal services for every state agency.

"On day one as Attorney General, I will withdraw Arizona from the 25 clickbait lawsuits that Chris Mays has filed against the Trump administration, and I will rescind the political indictments that she's made against Republicans simply for supporting President Trump," Glassman promised.

As a Lieutenant Colonel at Luke Air Force Base serving as an IMA, CATB Reservist who runs the active duty legal office when in uniform, Glassman highlighted his military experience and legal practice as qualifications that set him apart from his primary opponent.

The Role of the Attorney General in Arizona's Future

The relationship between the attorney general and the state legislature was discussed as critical for effective governance. "We need a Republican legislature with courage," Glassman noted, suggesting that the legislature could have used its budgetary authority to limit Mays' ability to sue the Trump administration.

On issues ranging from immigration to insurance access, Glassman outlined how the attorney general impacts everyday Arizonans:

"We need stronger laws that allow local law enforcement to keep our communities safe. It requires a Republican legislature that supports President Trump's agenda of securing the border. Then it requires an attorney general to help the legislature craft laws that the AG can help enforce and help defend all the way up to the United States Supreme Court."

Glassman pointed to SB 1070 from 2010 as an example where a previous Democrat Attorney General refused to defend Arizona law at the Supreme Court, forcing then-Governor Jan Brewer to hire private law firms.

Regarding consumer protection, he noted that rural Arizonans are facing challenges accessing homeowners insurance, an area where the attorney general provides legal services for the Department of Insurance and advises the legislature on consumer protection laws.

On prosecution priorities, Glassman contrasted his approach with current county attorneys: "When it comes to crimes that have been committed that your liberal county attorney refuses to prosecute, when it comes to kids, when it comes to the voiceless such as our animals, you can rest assured that Attorney General Rodney Glassman in my office will be there ready, willing, and able to prosecute."

Parents Rights and Government Overreach

Kelly Walker, co-founder of Parents Demand and Justice Alliance, discussed efforts to address what he describes as the targeting of concerned parents by government agencies.

"President Trump is well aware of this targeting, deliberate targeting of concerned parents by Merrick Garland's DOJ, by Lisa Monaco, his assistant and others," Walker explained. He mentioned that several high-profile individuals including Sam Sorbo, Pam Bondi, Harmeet Dhillon, and Roger Stone have been involved in bringing attention to this issue.

Walker revealed that his organization has compiled a dossier of targeted parents' stories and submitted it to the Department of Justice. "Where we're at now is that the Department of Justice is actually collecting case materials and getting ready to prosecute people who cooperated with this."

He described what he characterized as a federal operation with a local face: "It came from the feds who then instead of prosecuting people themselves because no one was federally indicted for so-called domestic terrorism, what they did was work with local law enforcement to do their dirty work for them."

Walker expressed concern about policies affecting children's medical decisions: "Parents somehow, if they're not going along with whatever the whim of their child is, and it is their child that they're responsible for, these DCS, Department of Child Safety or CPS, Child Protective Services... are now actively removing children from families' homes if they're not agreeing with these surgeries."

Walker emphasized that parental rights transcend political divides: "When you strip away the politics, you see that this is about people. This is about what's more fundamental of the natural right, being able to say, 'While my kids are minors, when they're not capable of making mature decisions, I'm going to make those decisions for them.' This supersedes any consideration of what party you're in."

Election Integrity Concerns in Arizona

Alex Kolodin, running for Secretary of State, discussed election integrity issues in Arizona, particularly in Pima County.

"Your rolls down there are the dirtiest in the state," Kolodin stated, referring to Pima County's voter rolls. He addressed concerns about approximately 6,000 undeliverable ballots in recent elections, suggesting these could potentially swing close races.

Kolodin recommended documenting these issues: "What you got to have people do is make a list of everybody that you hear of who got ballots at the wrong address. And so that that has been documented."

He identified dirty voter rolls as the root cause of many election concerns: "At the root of a lot of the undeliverable ballots issues is dirty voter rolls. The dirty voter rolls are actually at the root of a lot of the other concerns that we have about the elections."

Regarding observer access, Kolodin noted: "Pima County is the only county to my knowledge that has recently started prohibiting observers from coming in and watching. And there are ballot printers there, and you have a partisan Pima County recorder who is a radical progressive Democrat, and her handpicked people are going to have access to ballot printers without anybody observing them."

For the upcoming legislative session, Kolodin outlined his priorities: "I do want to get a Florida-style election system on the ballot for the voters to vote on so that we can clean up our elections the way that Florida cleaned up its elections."

He also expressed concern about previous legislative funding decisions: "This last legislative session, we made the incredible mistake of funding massively Adrian Fontez's voter registration efforts. We gave him millions of dollars to funnel to Democrat NGOs that are now going to be working on registering federal-only voters who are folks who have not provided documented proof of citizenship."

The War on Truth: January 6th Revelations

Chris Burgard, director of "War on Truth" and "Capital Punishment," discussed his documentary about January 6, 2021, including recent revelations about FBI presence at the Capitol that day.

"There may have been 274 FBI agents in the crowd. That's just the FBI. That doesn't count DHS, CIA, that doesn't count HSI," Burgard claimed. "This is an operation from the beginning."

Burgard, who was present at the Capitol on January 6th with his family, explained his motivation for making the films: "We didn't plan on making a movie. We just went to J6 because we felt called to be there. And when the false narratives started coming out so huge, we made the movie Capital Punishment."

He described what he characterized as a pattern of deception: "Why would the highest levels of government, Joe Biden, the Department of Justice, the FBI, the entire legacy media, why would they say a lie over and over again? And the lie was on January 6th, five law enforcement officers died. No, four Trump supporters died."

Burgard claimed his documentary reveals details contradicting the official narrative about events that day, including the deaths that occurred. He announced that the director's cut of "War on Truth" will be released for free on Rumble on the His Glory page.
