SPEAKER_00 0:08

And welcome, welcome everyone to listen to iTalk 1067 FM, the voice of the mountain, your host, Jenny Ford. So glad you're rolling with us this afternoon. I'm really pleased to have a first-time guest today on iTalk, Brian Blam. He's an attorney. And Brian, how are you this afternoon?

SPEAKER_01 0:26

Um I'm doing wonderful. How are you today? Thank you.

SPEAKER_00 0:28

Doing good, doing good.

SPEAKER_01 0:30

Thank you for having me on.

SPEAKER_00 0:31

And give our listeners a little bit of background, like how long you've been an attorney approximately in Arizona, what kinds of uh law you handle and have handled.

SPEAKER_01 0:41

Oh trying to trying to age me, are you? Um I've been in I've been in an attorney in in the uh state of Arizona for uh uh well way longer than I I can remember, I think. I became an attorney in Arizona in 2005, um, and then Nevada in 2006. So 21 years.

SPEAKER_00 1:04

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_01 1:05

And um I I do a lot of election law, doing a lot of uh public records act related work, uh giving government documents relating primarily to elections. Um do family law, I've done civil, I've got uh some defamation cases, and so um probably about half of my caseload right now is political in orientation.

SPEAKER_00 1:30

Wow. I'll tell you a lot of that going on. And and the election, the election part, and and I've and I looked you up a little bit too. Didn't wasn't stalking you or anything, but looked you up. And you do some really cool photography, I just have to mention to our listeners. That's really awesome. That's your pat passion, huh?

SPEAKER_01 1:47

Yeah, well, thank you very, very much. And uh if anybody wants to see any of my work, they can go to rebel artl. Um but that's really where I sort of pull all of my thoughts together. My dog and I go out into the middle of nowhere, backpacking or off-roading and uh do photography. Beautiful place. Currently working on a book. Um be called My Arizona at night.

SPEAKER_00 2:14

My Arizona. That's what I was noticing is that at night and I mean bear shots and s like some s really, really cool things. So what was that website again? One more time.

SPEAKER_01 2:26

It's rebelartlc.art.

SPEAKER_00 2:30

RebelartL C. Okay, very cool. Well, Brian, um again, listeners were speaking with Brian Blemm, an attorney and also a photographer that's putting together his book, really cool photographs. And uh um now let's get back to the law a little bit. And you mentioned you've done a lot of election law and election integrity. Of course, a lot of people are concerned about that. Um, and you've done some of this in Arizona. Tell us your thoughts on that. Uh specifically were to Arizona.

SPEAKER_01 2:57

Well, Arizona i it's been it's been in conflict since uh at least 2018 when Adrian Fontez um handled his first ever federal election as the Maricopa County recorder. And so it was actually, you know, Adrian Fontez and then uh uh his his cohort, Governor Katie Hobbs, when she was Secretary of State, that sort of ushered in this new era of um elections uh that we've seen in Arizona. You have, of course, 2020, um which was um an abysmal election. They added 18,000 ballots after election day into the totals. Um there a whole host of problems. And um 2022 was um just as bad um with the machine failures, and and the problem is nobody really ever decided to get to the root uh cause of the machine failures. Um they just sort of glossed it over um with with a report by a former Supreme Court justice who uh who wasn't provided all of the information or or did not have the ability to do a true technical root cause analysis. So there are issues with Arizona elections. Um I I think that uh what's happening now between the uh Maricopa County Board of Supervisors um and Justin Heap, um I I think that's it's sort of part and parcel of the problem. Um I don't know if you are familiar with what happened after Heap uh beat Richer in the primary uh in 2024, but essentially what happens is uh Stephen Richard was working with States United here in the state of Arizona, and it's a very big left-wing uh non-governmental organization, and it uh basically works with the uh uh Arizona's um lackey attorney general. Um and and they work with quite a few organiz governmental organizations in Arizona. Uh working with Richard and then the Board of Supervisors, they decided to create a new uh agreement whereby uh Justin Heap would pretty much just be divested and stripped of power when he became recorder. So that's what the really the fight is about. And the Arizona Supreme Court has just of course ruled in Heap's favor. So so I think that bodes very well for Arizona. It it definitely bodes well for Maricopa County elections. And um and and so the I don't want to scare people away from voting, the more people who actually go out and vote the better.

SPEAKER_02 5:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:53

Um I think I think a lot of Republicans might be waiting longer to vote uh because we have more contested uh uh races on the ballot, governor, um, attorney general, secretary of state. And so I think I think Republicans will turn out in larger numbers come election day, but uh people just need to stay vigilant. And uh and what they've done with with mail-in ballots um I think is a a huge step forward.

SPEAKER_00 6:24

Yeah, and I d you know, I just I I hope I saw the you know the recent with heap and the recent headlines and everything, and I hope people will just you know, flood the vote. Get out there and just vote, vote, vote right now. We we need it desperately because there are these little hidden things that uh, you know, m make you a little crazy. And and and also I wanted to ask you, the slower the counting goes, the more dangerous, right? I mean, you're you're hoping eyes are on all of this stuff and the more mischief and things can happen. I mean, I look at California and that is terrifying, you know?

SPEAKER_01 6:59

Oh, yeah, California is is exceptionally terrifying. Um, but that's why they like mail-in ballots. Um they like mail-in ballots that and no definitive election day. Uh fortunately, uh in the state of Arizona, um election day is election day, and any ballot not received by 7 p.m. on election day uh doesn't count. And so that was the big issue with uh the 2020 election when Adrian Fontez um accepted 18,000 mail-in ballots, and then they the the Maricopa County Attorney's Office and the uh uh the Board of Supervisors have gone out of their way to conceal records uh from the people of Arizona uh with respect to those ballots, um, namely run back loading doc video uh that would show how those ballots were delivered and who delivered them. But uh we we have, you know, we've we learn about things. Um that's why we the people, USA Alliance is very active in our elections, uh, because as we learn about things, we work with politicians, we work with uh um uh various people in in in power and and we try to implement new new policies and procedures that would would uh eliminate the ability for those bad things to happen again. And so um that's happened quite a bit since uh actually since beginning in 2018. Um and it still happens today, but people should go out and vote and and make make their voice heard. They should also be vigilant and participate in um you know, become a poll watcher, uh become uh apply to work down at um Maricopa County Technical Center where you can be actual part of the election process um and then you can help keep an eye on things.

SPEAKER_00 9:01

Yeah, being a poll worker is so important. And what was the name of the group that you're part of again that uh people if they want to get involved?

SPEAKER_01 9:08

Uh We the People USA Alliance.

SPEAKER_00 9:11

We the People USA Alliance. Okay, great. For like election integrity and those types of things. Great. That is great.

SPEAKER_01 9:18

And then Yeah, we do a lot, yeah, primarily election integrity, but it's basically uh generically overall government uh we investigate governments for corruption and things of that nature.

SPEAKER_00 9:30

Oh, interesting. Yeah, very good. Yeah, that that's something, you know, some of that oversight. And I think about elections and there's like a small, there's a little loophole there that always disturbs me. Um, you know, when I go to vote, sometimes I do not want to vote for that one person, right? Or it might say vote for two in this election corporation. And I only want one of them, or I don't want to vote for that person, and like the machine kept coming up and saying, you forgot this vote, you forgot this vote and I just refused it like four times and it finally left. Well then or if I vote that way and my and and I've left that bubble empty. I don't understand why they can't have one line of uh no vote under each election thing, like no vote or no, you know, where you bubble that in and it's a vote, it's a counted vote, but not for that person, right? So that it doesn't leave that hole open for someone to fill it in. I it seems like it's so simple, but why they don't do that? Because it terrifies me, but I refuse to vote for this one person and I leave that bubble open.

SPEAKER_01 10:35

Right. That's very simple. Yeah, and and you know, the it it it's possible that somebody could get the ballot and fill in the bubble. Um it's not it's not very likely. Um what what we see in terms of uh election fraud uh in large part typically deal with mail-in ballots. Um you know, these things are distributed uh through the U.S. Postal Service, which is governed by two large labor unions, uh both of which are very, very left-leaning in orientation, both of which have endorsed Democrats up and down the entire ticket. And so here we have a system of elections when we're entrusting millions and millions of ballots to a hyperpartisan labor union uh to deliver. And that not only counts the initial delivery to somebody's home, but nobody ever knows what happens to the ballots that are not deliverable because uh the Postal Service uh doesn't have record of them and the county uh recorder does not get them back. And so it as a process, and and I think I I was I was really excited to see California's primary play out because you have the election and then after the election you ha keep having these floods of mail and ballots come back that completely tip to scales, right?

SPEAKER_02 12:09

Right.

SPEAKER_01 12:09

And and that's part of the problem. When you flood a system with ballots by mail, and then you have hyperpartisan organizations that are control of those uh coming and going, then it i if you have a whole group of them and you're losing, all you have to do is, you know, have a ballot completing party and and and take them down and drop them in the drop box.

SPEAKER_00 12:33

Right. And now um on a ballot, and I and I h hate, but on that ballot, can they tell the Postal Service, can they tell if it's a Republican or Democratic leaning ballot if unless they open it?

SPEAKER_01 12:47

Well, it you know, in in terms of the primary, um you you can tell. And uh I believe in Arizona um hold on one second. I mean I I sure no problem. I'm looking to see if if it uh let's see here. Just looking at it, I can't uh I can't tell if it's a Republican or Democrat.

SPEAKER_00 13:22

Right. I'm wondering how the Postal Service would do that. That's why the the not having a having an open bubble on a on a on a election ballot, you know, just an open bubble that you don't want to vote for that one person. I think locally that's where it was uh very concerning for me is that when you see like a local election, let's say it's somebody that's uh Board of Supervisors, okay, a a member, and you do not want to vote for that and so you leave it open and then during the election there's a certain percentage, and then at the end, whoa, it jumps out gigantically with the do you know what I mean? Yeah, after the mail input because there were all those empty bubbles, maybe right? And as they're opening them, that's uh where I get concerned. Because then you close that vote if you have that uh uh no vote at the bottom of each thing, you close it and they can't bubble it in. Yeah, but anyway. Yeah, it's a little bit. And then if the post office can't tell if it's Republican or Democrat ballot uh unless they're opening them, I wonder, unless there's certain uh areas, you know, where you know zip codes or something. That's a worry.

SPEAKER_01 14:30

Yeah, that would that would be very difficult to to you know to open the envelope and then to properly reseal it so that nobody could tell it was opened. And so But in California, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:41

In California when those went in, ninety-nine point nine nine nine percent were left-leaning that were all mailed in. It was just uh crazy in California.

SPEAKER_01 14:51

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And so the the the the election thought I'm talking about regarding mail-in ballots is you know, they get mailed out and it let's say, for example, you live in in like downtown Tempe, you got all these apartment complexes and all of that wonderful stuff. And it's a it's a very transient community, right? A lot of young people, a lot of students. Um and and so if you were just to scoop up a whole bunch of those ballots as they're out delivering them, um, you know, then you would have a whole bunch of entire ballots, not just ballots. And and yeah, and then and then you can just have your ballot party. Um respect to the ballots, I can't tell if this one looking in the window is a Republican or a Democrat. Um but um you know, once once it's sealed into the into the ballot affidavit, um, then it's pretty difficult to open without without it being evident that that it was opened and possibly tampered with. And so I think most of the most of the the fraud that takes place takes place with unvoted mail-in ballots, because they, you know, I believe based on Maricopa County's own records in 2020, Fontez mailed out uh twice as many ballots as there were voters on the permanent early voting list.

SPEAKER_00 16:17

So gosh.

SPEAKER_01 16:20

Yeah, that's that's and and that's why Fontez needs to lose his job. He's uh he's uh you know, he's horrible for elections in the state of Arizona.

SPEAKER_00 16:31

Yeah, and I I think, you know, I'm I personally am hoping for a change in those top three spots. You know, Chris Mays and all yeah, I'm just hoping for and our governor, I hope that all changes over for sure.

SPEAKER_01 16:43

Yeah, well, you know, and Chris Mays and you know, a lot of our elections, uh a big problem with our elections is um you ha you have Chris Mays, she's uh tied at the hip to States United, and uh uh she's doing their bidding. You have uh the governor, of course, who was tied at the hip when she was Secretary of State to States United.

SPEAKER_00 17:09

And who is States United? Who is States United?

SPEAKER_01 17:12

Norm Eisen, it's uh it's a uh group who was store started by Norm Eisen. He's a big time left-wing attorney, um, kinda like gosh, what the hell is the other guy's name? Can't remember I can't I can never remember his name. Um another big national attorney that represents Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party and and left wing ideas, but that that's what Norm Eisen does. Um he was an ambassador, I believe, to Czechoslovakia under um under uh Barack Obama, uh close to Hillary Clinton, so he knows that whole Kabbalah people. And uh they have been very active in the state of Arizona. When when uh recorder Richard was the recorder, he actually um was working with States United as well, and States United would have these monthly election meetings with our elections staff and uh uh and the campaign of Adrian Fontez and the campaign of uh uh the governor, the current governor. And and so talk about running your elections in a partisan manner, um totally totally corrupt processes. And so, you know, people just need to be cognizant, they need to keep an eye out. And the best way to ensure that your ballot is actually going to count if you vote early, is to go to a vote center, show them your ID, uh, they'll give you a ballot, uh stuff it in an envelope, and it'll it'll bypass signature verification because it's already been signature verified. And that eases the workload on the county reporter at the end of the day, because then they don't have to ballot, uh they don't have to signature verify all those ballots. Uh it it it reduces the workload so they can do a better job actually verifying the identities um on the remaining ballot affidavit envelopes. There you go. All they get to identify is a signature.

SPEAKER_00 19:22

The best way to go. Walk in, give me your ID. Absolutely. And um, who who would you like to see replace Chris Mays? Oh my god. Or or or uh or Fontez. Or Fontez, the devil.

SPEAKER_01 19:38

The devil would be better than Chris Mays. Chris Mays is a hack. She's just a political hack.

SPEAKER_00 19:44

Wow. You have a whole bunch of the case. And I know she is from the Corporation Commission before and all that, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:50

Yeah. You have a whole bunch of these left-leaning attorney generals throughout the United States, and I think they're all in a competition to see who can become uh more like Joseph Stalin first. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_00 20:05

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:06

Yeah, yeah. And Chris Mays just spends all of you know all of Arizona's, you know, taxpayers' hardworking time and money uh targeting, you know, political opponents, right? It's just like this failed effort to uh uh to bring criminal charges against the the Trump electors. Yeah um you know, and and why does she do it? And you know, she does it because uh it it f it scares people, right? If you're older, you d you don't wanna you don't want to risk defending yourself against criminal charges, even if they're bogus, uh then then you it it it affects an i it it affects your behavior, right? And so uh she's uh I would say she's a terrorist in the office of the attorney general in the state of Arizona, um, because she's worked with uh uh some of these big-time left-wing groups to to send letters to boards of supervisors threatening them from having hand counts. Um when when hand counts under Arizona law are perfectly uh perfectly allowed. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 21:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:16

That's crazy. And how about Fontez? Who who would you love to see Fontez?

SPEAKER_01 21:21

Right. Right. And so the AG then that that's why she has these criminal charges against the Cochief County Boards of Supervisors, um you know, is is to intimidate um boards of supervisors, uh, to ensure that they they fall in line, they they don't misbehave.

SPEAKER_00 21:41

So little terrorist there. Um is there anybody in particular you would like to see replace uh Fontez?

SPEAKER_01 21:49

Yeah, Alex Carlovin, yeah, one hundred percent. Um yeah, Alex Carlovin has been uh in the election integrity movement since uh day I've worked very closely with him, and he uh he first started doing it as a lawyer, uh, beating Fontez when Fontez was the county recorder. Uh, and then he went to the legislature where he's had a tremendous impact. I mean, uh the impact that Alex Collard has had um on Arizona election law has been substantial. Um and in in fact, they just referred one of his pieces of legislation to the voters um to uh uh to the ballot. And so it'll be it'll be on the ballot uh as a ballot measure, it's a constitutional amendment, and it's about election integrity and making Arizona's elections safer and more secure, and uh especially with respect to vote by mail, because that's where the lion's share of the fraud happens. Um so Alex has been very active both in the in the drafting of law and in the challenging of um Adrian Fontes and a lot of these illegal um illegal procedures that they've tried to implement um with the elections procedures, manual, uh namely trying to deny people their free speech rights, uh things of that nature. So uh Alex Caldeman um uh by far, he's uh uh he's the guy to go with for sure.

SPEAKER_00 23:26

Okay, awesome. And can you hang with me for just a few more minutes if I take a short break? Yep. Okay, awesome. Alrighty, everybody. We are talking to Brian Blame, an attorney uh here in Arizona, and he's done a lot of election integrity, uh law, all kinds of things, and uh interesting, interesting, and interview people right here for more items. And welcome back everyone. I talk 1067 FM The Voice of the Mountain. Uh yes, uh we are going to our conversation now with Brian Blame, and uh he's an attorney, has worked on election integrity in Arizona and all sorts of things. And Brian, remind us how how can people um look you up, um follow you as far as if it's an election integrity or your artwork, or do you have websites, that kind of thing, and Facebook pages?

SPEAKER_01 24:36

Yeah. Yeah, I'm on X at um well, X, YouTube, and uh Rumble. My handle is at uh Bleam Law A-Z, B-L-E-H-M-L-A-W-A-Z.

SPEAKER_02 24:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 24:52

Um and and so those are the three primary channels I use um with respect to my art. I'd I'd already given the website, but but I'm I'm starting to uh move a lot of my stuff to Pinterest and uh I can be found there at Rebel Art L L C. And uh Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 25:15

So I can just picture you out there in the middle of the night with your stats just Yeah. How close are you to like on a bear shot? How close are you to that bear?

SPEAKER_01 25:27

Um you know, I've been ten ten feet.

SPEAKER_02 25:31

Ooh.

SPEAKER_01 25:32

Um you know, you they they can get fairly close to you, but uh you know, the whole thing is and I don't do zoo shots, I don't go do photography in zoos. Um I don't believe in zoos. Um but but you know, when they have so much salmon to eat uh that they're just wasting the meat of the fish. All they're eating is the salmon row in the brains.

SPEAKER_00 25:58

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 25:58

Um that that they really don't bother with you. 'Cause they're full they're full and happy.

SPEAKER_00 26:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 26:06

Yeah, yeah. I I would say the uh the spring and the fall are the problem problem times. The spring when they wake up and they're really hungry.

SPEAKER_02 26:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 26:15

And then the the fall when they're trying to beef their uh their newborns up uh to handle the you know, the winter uh the winter slumber, um, then they want to eat more so that they can put on a lot of fat. But uh yeah, you know, it it's it's interesting.

SPEAKER_00 26:34

Well th I'll tell you what, your photography is incredible and I I think that also just with all the things that you're doing, uh your your law work, and then it must be a great I know so many of us have those, you know escapes, you know, so it must be really, really fun fun place for you too. Now getting back to we're talking about election integrity uh here with Brian Baleem, and uh now I wanted to ask you too your your overview. We we were talking about kind of who's in charge in Arizona right now, which uh really, really is concerning to me because uh how we're starting to lean under Katie Hobbs and Chris Mays and these people and Fontez. And uh you you uh you kind of wonder, you know, what direction we're I mean her get hundred-year leases on state trust lands and the Green New Lie money and how she's pushing this, pushing this. What are some of your thoughts on that?

SPEAKER_01 27:27

Well, I I I think the Green Green New Deal is just a money-making scam for a lot of um Katie Hobbes supporters, Democratic Party supporters in general. Um I think I think a lot of what they're doing with our land is is really obscene. Um and it it's been obscene for a long time. What are we gonna do? Just replace all of our agricultural and uh and grazing lands with uh solar farms and um and these big wind wind farms. And and that's that's one of the problems is that you know they they claim that it's so much more efficient and so much better for the environment. Um it it's pretty destructive of the environment, um the way I see it. And and especially if you need enough um energy to power uh larger growing cities. And that's that's a problem in Arizona. Fortunately, Arizona has a nuclear power plant. Um it probably could use another one. Um I'd say what they should do instead of building these uh solar farms is is build a couple of refineries, um you know, ease up the procedures to build some refineries in in in Arizona. They need to do the same thing in Alaska, um, so that so that they can ease the burden of fuel costs on their own residents.

SPEAKER_00 28:51

Yeah, and and you know, it's when you mention about the that that's what I find is it's uh such a big, filthy, dirty footprint, especially like with the wind turbines that we're facing up here, the fight over 8,500 of these gigantic uh turbines. The biggest that have ever been put in is what we're facing up here, and all these foreign companies too, Brian.

SPEAKER_01 29:13

Yeah. Yeah. And and that's uh, you know, Arizona, I think, is is in large part, you know, dominated by foreign interests. I mean, look at the look at the agriculture of the you know, the Middle East agriculture that takes place in the state of Arizona. Um, you know, you have all the the Green New Deal energy and and who really is the money going to? Um I I would venture, I guess a lot of it's going to China. Um, but uh who who who really is getting all of Arizona's taxpayer dollars? Um when you look at at things like a a new and big growing problem I can foresee for the state of Arizona are all of these data centers. Um and and and I know there are some there have been some changes to their water usage, but uh they still take, you know, a significant amount of water use, and then you have uh you you look at what happened up in Montana recently with uh uh Zuckerberg Meta's data center that's been leaking um highly toxic toxic substances into into the water supply. Uh they've had to shut down completely two two communities water treatment facilities uh for long periods of time to to clean up the nightmare. But um most of the data centers I believe in Arizona, especially those going up north Phoenix are are um owned by out of state interests. Um and they don't really produce any jobs.

SPEAKER_00 30:48

Right, right, they don't.

SPEAKER_01 30:51

Other than building them. Um but what they do do is they consume uh Arizona gold. And Arizona gold, of course, is water. Um you know, but I guess if you cover your land with solar panels um so you can no longer farm or ranch it, then you don't need as much water for farming and ranching.

SPEAKER_00 31:15

Yeah, but you know the only scary thing is we have the Cocanino aquifer, which is super just so amazing up here in Precious. And there are springs, Brian, springs that come to the surface all across, especially over in Apache County. And the terrifying thing to me is that anyone, the EPA or anyone would even consider putting those giant tumors in the ground, 5,000 tons of rusting rebar steel and crap, 8,500 wind turbines, right, all across Navajo and Apache County over the Coconut Aquifer, and they don't remediate them. And that comes to our local boards of supervisors, okay? Putting no protections in no protections in place. Coach has put some protections in, but we have none up here, you know?

unknown 32:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 32:03

Crazy.

SPEAKER_01 32:03

Well, and that's why yeah, that's why people, I mean, people need to understand their government. You know, you have you know, the way our the way our system of govern is structured is it it tries to push as much power down to the people as possible. And so um, you know, the federal government, of course, does some things. They wage war on our behalf because we as states can't do that as effectively as independent states, but uh, you know, the the state then subdivides into counties for a reason. And so people need to go and be active at their boards of supervisors, they need to learn who their supervisors are, um, and they need to really, really uh participate at the local level because that's where many of the decisions are made that truly, truly impact us on a daily basis. And and you are 100% right with respect to uh the boards of supervisors, especially up north where you're at, um passing into these zoning ordinances, uh, you know, zor zoning zoning codes that really don't protect your water supply. Yeah um that really that really are not protecting your food supply or your at least ability to have a food supply. Um and and that's that's part of the problem. When people don't participate, um these people can do whatever they want. And um and and that's why people need to A uh research candidates, B vote, and C ensure they know what the boards of supervisors is up to and attend meetings and um and and be active in your community. Yeah, and that's where democracy takes place.

SPEAKER_00 33:51

That's where it all happens. And and that it's very chilling when people think when they don't show up and they don't vote, and they don't I mean, especially when you think about your boards of supervisors and who you're picking. And the thing that really chill is chilling too is you really need to do your homework on everything, every proposition, every single person, because like we have some, you have some boards of supervisors that they may have a Republican label on them, right? But uh they're rolling with Katie Hobbs. It's it's like a big sellout thing.

SPEAKER_01 34:21

Yeah. And and there are there are a whole host of those. And really I think I I think there are more of them now because I think what happened with the election of Donald Trump is uh he really sort of brought out the differences between um or or the similarities between the Uniparty, right?

SPEAKER_02 34:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 34:47

Um there there are so many of them who who band together um to to achieve, you know, their common personal interest. Um, you know, and and and so partisanship now is has changed in the United States significantly in Arizona, but but you really gotta be cognizant of where your your elected leaders stand and how they actually uh vote once it comes time to vote.
