headquarters in phoenix was politically motivated. it does not appear that there s any evidence that it was. this appears to be an unfortunate crime, and that is not the assumption that the hobbs campaign was working under when they released some statements last night and certainly we are seeing the repercussions of that today, politically, anderson. so, kari lake what held what an emergency press conference this evening, what did she say? i would characterize it more as a political victory lap. so, for about an hour, i would say, kari lake courted the local press in order to badger the press and to talk about how she felt that she was a victim of incorrect headlines, and incorrect framing of based on the hobbs statement last night. one phoenix political operative, a republican, told me the very simply that hobbs is the victim
of a small burglary, but lake is the winner in this story. is there a sense in what voters think about this? i mean, is it a big story there? obviously, you know, there s the economy, there s a lot of issues that voters are caring about. yeah, you got it right on the head. it s something like this, which is really maybe a 24-hour story, a blip, really, for people who are really paying attention to what s happening in arizona are being click at a couple sensational headlines on social media. is this going to motivate anyone to vote? is this going to change the way anyone is going to vote for either katie hobbs or kari lake? that s unclear. what we do know is that voters do move based on the economy. that s what we keep hearing from voters over and over again, that they are worried about the cost of gas, the cost of the price of living, the issues of democracy. these are some of the more substantive issues that people are really thinking about, anderson.
public safety did that day. again, laying blame on others and saying that there is more than one person, there are several factors and mistakes made. that has been his tone. i tried to ask him, even off camera at one point, he was walking around, i went over to talked him, where is the director s report? i one point, he said, today, we wanted it to be about the families. well, the only reason the families came was because they were expected to get some kind of information from him. and you know, it s just time and time again, anderson, we keep talking about. this i don t understand how it is that they don t understand what these families are going to, and what it is that they want. the families have been very clear about this, it is so cool for the and these families to sit there and explain themselves, time and time again, and then wind up with nothing. they get nothing out of it, and at some point, enough is enough
really was, to have him sit there and say this to the families. anderson, as you know, and what we have been doing on the show and doing this together, the reporting that we re doing continues. the things that we are learning paints an even more disturbing picture of what went on there. when i spoke to the mayor, the mayor of uvalde back in july, he was the first person, i find it hard to believe this, but he was the first person to come on the record and to say, there was a cover-up here. he still believes that. i spoke to him today, and he is saying to me, you are now seeing the. what you see macron do, what you see the texas dps do is a cover-up. he s going to have more to say at some point, but you can clearly see the community and the families continually
like i said, you have to put your ego aside, it s not about you. i will be giving speeches and one of the things i say is men need to support women. don t just think you re being supportive. don t just say you re being supportive. be supportive. one, it s the right thing to do and then man, okay, you need to actually do it. don t just think you re doing it, a lot of women in the audience start looking sometimes it s hard and sometimes it s not what you expect. but it is the right thing to do. and if i can set an example doing it, i m very grateful for that. so, we talked more about that topic, anderson, about his fate. he s the first jewis h
