>> Ted: Coming up on Arizona PBS, former Arizona governor and U.S. homeland security governor will join us to talk about the tenth anniversary of the Daca program and care for pregnant women over the overturning on Roe v. Wade and how long haul Covid symptoms are affecting athletes.

That's ahead on Arizona PBS.

Mat salmon said it was best for the people of Arizona and, quote, numbers are numbers primary voters deserve more than having their vote split and polling, indeed showed salmon trailed and by dropping out, the race becomes more focused on the two frontrunners and it comes before early voting begins just one day before Arizona horizon's G.O.P gubernatorial debate at 5:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.

The assistant if former Donald Trump's chief of staff testified that Donald Trump ordered security lifted at the capitol on January 6th even though he knew some of the gathering in Washington were armed.

Cassidy Hutchinson said his supporters weren't there to attack him.

But according to Hutchinson, trump knew they were after Mike Pence.

>> I remember him saying, mark, we need to do something more and they're calling for the vice president to be Fing hung and mark responded to the fact, you heard him, Pat, he thinks Mike deserves it.

>> Ted: The president demanded to join the march at the capitol even as the riot was underway and at one point attacked a secret service agent and lunged at the S.U.V.

S.U.V.

>> Tony described him as being irate and the president said something to the effect of, I'm the Fing president and take me to the capitol now, to which they responded, sir, we have to go back to the west wing.

The president reached up towards the front ofto the front of the vehicle to grab the the steering wheel and Mr. Engle said, sir, either going back to the west wing.

We're not going to the capitol.

Mr. trump then used his free hand to lung toward bobby Engle and when they recounted the story to me, they recounted to the clavicles.

>> Ted: There was ketchup after trump threw his lump at the wall when bill Barr said the justice department found no wide-spread election fraud.

>> Was in the only instance you are aware of where the president threw dishes?

>> It's not.

>> And are there other instances in the dining room that you you recall he expressed anger?

>> There are other instances I am aware him throwing dishes or flipping the table cloth and let it go onto the floor or go everywhere.

>> Ted: A note that hutchenson said her boss was among those requesting a presidential pardon for the roles in the January 6th attack.

>> Miss Hutchenson did Mr. Giuliani said he was interested in receiving a pardon?

>> He did.

>> Did the White House chief of staff, mark meadows, ever indicate, he was interested in receiving a presidential pardon to January 6th?

>> Mr. meadows did receive that pardon, yes.

>> Ted: It was learned Mike Flynn, a three-star general and security adviser cited his fifth amendment rights and refused to answer in the peaceful transfer of power in America and did the same whether or not the violence on January 6th was justified.

>> This month marks the tenth anniversary of the deterred action better known as Daca and has protected from deportation a generation of immigrants who came to the United States as children and joining us to discuss Daca is former Arizona governor and Janet that pol Napolitano and a research analyst and andcoalition consultant consultant and Janet, does it seem like it's been ten years?

>> Time flies and I remember so clearly when we created Daca out of a failure to the Congress to address a vexing problem in immigration laws, which is how do you properly handle young people brought here typically at six years of age or younger who have been raised in this country, gone to school in this country, were working, going to college, some were in the military, for American in every sense except for being documented.

And so we wept back wept back went back to the law books and at the theory of prosecuteproscutory discretion and how to enforce the law against and who really doesn't merit that sort of attention.

And we created Daca.

And Daca is a program where young people who meet certain criteria can apply and each application is reviewed individually and it's not a blanket amnesty, but if they're accepted into the program, then they can live free from fear of deportation and get work authorization which is important for so many.

At the peak, over 800,000 were in Daca.

>> Ted: Mario, how old were you when Daca was first established?

>> I was about 15, so I was in high school when it first happened.

>> Ted: What were your thoughts?

>> I was happy to hear I would be able to have work authorization and be able to use my degree.

I was also very happy and I was able to not fear deportation as I did growing up.

>> Ted: Janet, again, this is still meant to be a temporary program, is it not?

These are two-year stays to have to be renewed?

>> Yes, a temporary program with the expectation that Congress would address it.

They failed to get a so-called dream act and the young people were commonly referred to as dreamers and failed to get culture in the senate to pass a dream act and that really threw the problem squarely into the lap of the administration and we were very interested in, you know, how to deal with these young people in a way that was fair and consistent wit law with the law and with our values.

>> Ted: MayorWe can talk about the court case and when that conversation was going on, what were your thoughts then?

>> So when the Trump Administration took office and the legal issues started occurring around Daca, a lot of uncertainty in society failed me.

It's scary, the thought of your local status being terminated.

At this point, Arizona expect Unitedas andArizona and theUnited States and the fear of not having protection from deportation is scarry.

>> Ted: Janet, when this was discussed when it was first formed, what were -- we heard arguments for, but were there arguments against this route in the administration?

>> It was an executivebranch overreach.

As I mentioned earlier, administrative agencies and the department of justice, and homeland security, it always retains the ability to make decisions about whom it's going to enforce the law against.

In this instance, these young people -- as I mention, they're American in every sense and they just lack documentation.

It just seemed to us that using that theory, prosecutorial discretion, a case-by-case analysis, the young people to qualify have to have clean records and the like and that it just made sense and therefore, not only could we help these young people, and our actual enforcement resources could be used against more serious threats to the American security.

>> Ted: Mario, what plans do you have for your life and how does the fact -- I mean, this is still technically a temporary program affecting those plans.

>> Yes, so, it's been ten years on June 15th since Daca was introduced and I still live with the fear and I still live with the anxiety of not knowing if it will be terminated.

I hope that there can be a resolution passed through Congress.

I'm hoping that senator Sinema and senator Kelly can introduce the dream act and give dreamers like myself and individuals like myself that have made their lives here like the secretary said.

We're American in every way and I hope there's a pathway for citizenship.

>> Ted: You're out there and trying to get that information out there?

>> Yes.

I'm a research analyst and coalition consultant and my hope for this upcoming election year, there's a proposition 308 to provide in state tuition and state funded scholarship to Arizona high school graduates regardless of immigration status and access to the in-state tuition and state-funded scholarships if they meet qualifications.

>> Ted: Janet, this fifth circuit will hear this case regarding the Trump Administration and trying to block this and where does this stand now in the courts?

>> So when trump came in, they tried to rescind the Daca program and were immediately sued by mes a me as a president of the university on behalf of thousands of daca students and other lawsuits were filed to stop that resignificance andrecision and the attempted recision was derailed.

They said the entire program was illegal and that case is now on appeal.

And in the meantime, existing daca recipients can continue to renew and the like, but the administration is not accepting any new applications for daca and that makes the need for Congress to act all the more important because only Congress can permanently solve this problem.

>> Ted: Janet and Mario, good to you have both and good conversation and thanks for joining us.

We appreciate it.

And up next, a look at a project that brought electricity for the first time to many Navajo families.

>> SRP, another utilities completed light-up naf hoa Navajo to bring electricity to 50 families and the social general manager and the general manager of the Navajo tribal utility family and Wally, gives us 30,000-foot view of the project.

>> This basically was created in essence because we have so many families out of electricity and over 14,000 families that don't have electricity and over 56,000 American people.

Before I can get them running wart, I need to get them electricity.

And this whole thing kind of started as a part of -- I was the chairman of the power association and I gave speeches and people were shocked to hear across the United States that we still had a lot of people without access to electricity that wanted it.

Folks came up to me and Embdened emboldened me and that's how the program started and that's mutual aid without a storm.

>> Ted: How did SUP get involved?

>> It fit in with the communities as well as Wally mentioned and one of the great parts is utilities have helped each other out through mutual aid and that's been more of a national disaster in recovery from that and in this case, Wally took that to another level as he well described, a lot of people who do not have electricity but on a planned basis making a dent.

>> Ted: A lot of hard work and rough terrain and weather and talk about how difficult it is and it sounds like barely a road and then you have to go a few miles off the road to get to these families.

>> It allows a great training eventevent for folks and not only the humanitarian effort that brings services, but they learn how to build and do what they do back home.

And that's important because when a storm event occur, these had real life training and a real event and then they get to go home a changed person because of the great work they've been able to do.

I have have stories how this has made a positive impact.

>> Ted: The reaction when the lights go on and the electricity comes through, that must be magical.

>> It is.

We have a family member and in Navajo -- in houses, many generations and many times, there's four generations living in a house and went example, 97-year-old grandmother who has a breathing problem and the grandson would have to take her machine to the neighbor's house to charge everyday and so that the grandmother could have it at night to sleep.

and stay alive.

There was another wonderful story that the crews worked on was where there's a woman who has asthma and when she as an attack, she would have to start the generator and get in the house to get her machine on and she doesn't have to do that now and she has an attack and can use the machine and lots and lots of stories about that, that these wonderful folks helped us to take care of through the process.

>> Ted: Has to be awfully rewarding?

>> They volunteer and that's the first thing and that's the first thing they want to accomplish and they're crafts people and this is their trade and they're proud and something they do all the time and what Wally described is different.

So when they do this, this is the first time these people have had electricity and their faces light up and they see the impact that they're making on people's live.

>> Ted: That seems magical and will be there be a Navajo 2.0 and.

>> He'll be doing a four and we'll be there participating.

>> Ted: And gives us a time table for that.

>> We plan to have Navajo four in April of next year and home to run through swreun.

June.

We had utilities from 14 states and SRP was able to connect up 50 families with additional crews that we had, so we're hopeful to have that event next April.

>> Ted: You still have a long with to go with thousands needing power.

>> This is a long-term project and not a sprint.

It's a marathon, but, hey, you have to get started and we're making great process.

>> Ted: Well, congratulations and changing people's lives is a big deal and you must be very proud and thank you for joining us.

>> Thank you for having us.

Appreciate it.

>> Tonight on the news hour, striking testimony from a White House aid sheds light on former President Trump's role in the January 6th riots and coming up after your hour on local news of PBS.

>> Ted: Songs have the power to trigger deep and powerful memories and for one local artists, a song lead to a creative exploration of how she became the woman she is today and we look at the newest exhibition called black bird fly.

>> This is representative of it.

>> Reporter: Like for many, 2020 was a year of change.

And after completing the largest project to date, a nine-story's mural of activist James Baldwin, she moved more than five thousand miles away to jer men Germany for a residency program.

>> You know what, I'll go for the biggest.

>> Reporter: But the move nearly broke her spirit.

There it was harder than I thought and I experienced extreme isolation and trying to navigate the German bureaucratic system and it was snow examination colding andcold and harsh lockdown and horrible for mental health.

>> Reporter: She was on the train and happened to listen to black bird by the Beatles and a long time fan, she never heard the fan before.

>> I heard it was about black women during the civil right's era and I listened to it and on this train ride, seeing this beautiful city and I felt like Paul McCartney was singing to me and this is my journey, black bird fly.

I decided this body of work was going to be called black bird fly and it would be my story.

>> Reporter: Her story is spread out on 14 canvass and in a style she calls hood whim subsidy.

sy.

>> You see a lot of hot pinks and Teals and yellows and lime green.

A few pieces have glitter and you might see bubble gum pink guns with glitter or cute little girls holding toy guns in aggressive ways or they might have airforce ones.

>> Reporter: The self-portraits deal with her feelings of abandonment, losing her favorite auntaunt tobreast cancer.

>> People live quickly with no control.

>> Reporter: They explore what it mean to be a biracial black woman.

>> There's a lot of layers with a biracial black woman in the United States.

But once I got to college in my late teens, I began to be questioned and it was, like, you're not black, though, because you're half white and You're only black.

I don't care what your mom is.

You think you're better because you have this hair or this complexion.

It's a crazy concept that we have this.

>> Reporter: Her favorite paymenting is called stay on your toes because she feels it's the one that is most representative of her.

It was the first piece she started after hearing black bird black bird and the last one she finished that taught her less lesson after less on.

There this piece forced me to slow down and the paint paint was different.

>> It was messing up because of the chemicals and taught me a lot about patience and slowing down and taking a break to step away from a piece and trusting instincts.

>> Reporter: She was born and raised in phoenix and never remembers a time she wasn't creating art.

>> I remember being little girl and krging crayon kits and art kits and picking up young, five or six, this girl likes art and she's good at it.

>> Reporter: She continued through high school and college, but it wasn't that long ago she finally quit her day job and pursued art full time and a decision that she thinks made her work for authentic.

>> But I pay attention to the lighting, because I want it to be dramatic.

>> I did it, I did it.

>> Ted: Black bird fly is on display until July 28th at the gateway community college for equity and inclusion art gallery and moves onto Chicago and that is it for now.

Thank you so much for joining us and you have a great evening!
