>> Ted: COMING UP NEXT ON ARIZONA HORIZON, A CLOSER LOOK AT THE 1.$6 BILLION DEFAMATION LAWSUIT AGAINST FOX.

AND CANCER DIAGNOSIS IN NATIVE AMERICAN COMMUNITIES.

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN VAPING AND LUNG CANCER AND OTHER SERIOUS CONCERNS.

THOSE STORIES AND NEXT ON "ARIZONA HORIZON."

FEEGOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO ARIZONA HORIZON.

AS OF LATE THIS AFTERNOON, FORMER DONALD TRUMP HAS LATE TO BE ARRESTED AFTER HUSH MONEY TO A PORN STAR ON THE LEAVE OF THE 2016 ELECTION.

THEY'RE PREPARING FELONY CHARGES AND TRUMP EXPECTS TO BE ARRESTED TOMORROW AND CALLED ON HIS FOLLOWERS TO PROTEST THE ARREST.

TRUMP IS ATTEMPTING TO HOLD OFF ANOTHER INDICTMENT AND THIS ONE IN GEORGIA WHERE RACKETEERS AND CONSPIRACY ARE EXPECTED TO BE FILED AND INVOLVE TRUMP'S ATTEMPTS FOR THE 2020 VOTE AND THEY MOVED TO SUPPRESS EVIDENCE BY A SPECIAL GRAND JURY AND THE CASE ORGANIZING THAT THE OVERSTEPPED THEIR BOUNDARY.

>>> A CRITICAL WARNING THRESHOLD BY THE 2030'S AND ACCORDING TO A U.N. REPORT PULLING RESEARCH FROM OTHER STUDIES.

THE SCIENCE ISN'T NEW BUT THE IMPACT OF PLANET HEATING POLLUTION IS FOR SEVERE THAN EXPECTED AND IS A, QUOTE, TICKING TIME BOMB AND WHAT THEY CALL DANGEROUS AND IRREVERSIBLE CONSEQUENCE.

>>> MARK KELLY HAD THOUGHTS ON THE RECENT DOWNING AFTER RECENT DROWNING OVER THE BLACK SEA AFTER BEING HIT BY A FIGHTING JET AND THEY SAID A RUSSIAN PILOT CRASHING INTO SOMETHING DOESN'T SURPRISE HIM AT PAUL.

ALL.

>> THE RUSSIANS HAVE SHOWN HOW INCOMPETENT THEY ARE.

I FLEW WITH RUSSIAN PILOTS IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY NASA JET FOR, YOU KNOW, DECADES PUP.

I'M NOT SURPRISED BY THIS.

I FLEW WITH RUSSIAN SPY LOTS, FIGHTER PILOTS.

HE LOST SIGHT OF THIS AND CRASHED INTO THIS.

>> HE SAYS THIS IS RUSSIAN'S ENTIRE MILITARY EFFORT IN UKRAINE AND C THE WHY THE LOSSES ARE HIGH.

>>> THE AVERAGE SIZE OF A NEW APARTMENT IN THE U.S. IS NOT WHAT IT USE TO BE AND 50 SQUARE FEET THAN WHAT IT WAS A YEAR AGO.

THIS IS A DROP IN CONSTRUCTION FOCUSING ON BEDROOM UNITS.

>>> THE $1.6 BILLION DEFAMATION LAWSUIT BY DOMINION AGAINST FOX THAT THE NETWORK MADE IS FOCUSING ON THE CORRECT OF FOX NEWS AND.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> 30,000-FOOT VIEW OF THIS CASE AND WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT HERE?

>> AS YOU SAID, THIS IS BASED ON PROGRAMMING THAT FOX NEWS HAD IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE 2020 ELECTION IN WHICH PEOPLE HAVE CALLED VARIOUS SPARES CONSPIRACY THEORIES OR FAULT OR BLAME IMPLICATED DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS AND THE MANUFACTURERS OF THE VOTING SYSTEMS THAT ARE IN PLACE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

IT NOT ONLY IMPLICATED THEM AND PLACED THE BLAME ON THEM.

AS YOU KNOW, WHEN THE REPUTATION OF AN INDIVIDUAL OR A CORPORATION IS FALSELY TEA DIMINISHED, THAT INDIVIDUAL OR CORPORATION CAN FILE A DEAF DEFAMATION CLAIM AGAINST THE CASE.

>> Ted: WE'RE FINDING OUT WHAT FOX PERSONALITIES THOUGHT AGAINST THESE CLAIMS AND JULIA, THEY DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF THEM.

>> IT'S BEEN AN INTERESTING READ TO SEE INSIDE FOX NEWS AND WHAT THE EXECUTIVES, THE ON-AIR TALENT THOUGHT AND THEY ARE VERY CRITICAL OF TRUMP.

THEY'RE VERY DISMISSIVE AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, WHAT COULD SAY, OH, MY GOSH, THIS IS SO HYPOCRITICAL.

ON THE AIR, THEY'RE SAYING ONE THING AND IN-PERSON, THEY'RE SAYING SOMETHING ELSE.

THAT'S WHAT THE DOCUMENTS TELL US.

>> Ted: THAT'S WHAT THEY TELL US AND WHAT DOES THAT TELL US ABOUT FOX NEWS?

IN JOURNALISM HERE, JOURNALISM PROFESSORS AND YOU STUDY THIS THING AND WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR JOURNALISM?

>> I THINK IT'S HARD TO KNOW YET.

CLEARLY FOX NEWS HAS ESTABLISHED ITSELF AS A PARTISAN PRESS, WHICH IS NOTHING NEW IN THIS COUNTRY.

WEAVEWHAT THIS SHOWS IS, IT'S PARTISAN PRESS WITH A TWIST TWIST WITH MAKING MONEY.

PART OF THE BALANCING ACT, SHOULD WE CALL ARIZONA OR NOT AND HOW WILL WE MAKE MONEY?

IT SEES THE UNDER KANSAS CITY UNDERBELLY OF THAT ORGANIZATION.

>> Ted: IF THAT INVOLVES SOME SORT OF MALICE AGAINST, I DON'T KNOW, AN ELECTION VOTING SYSTEM, IS THAT ENOUGH TO WIN THIS KIND OF CASE?

>> IT COULD BE.

AS YOU SAY, THE KEY, IT SEEMS SO FAR, WILL BE THIS CONCEPT CALLED ACTUAL MALICE, A CONCEPT THAT THE U.S. SUPREME COURT ESTABLISHED IN 1964 AND WHAT IT DOES IS IT MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR A PLAINTIFF TO WIN IN A LIABLE CASE WHEN THAT PLAINTIFF IS A PUBLIC OFFICIAL OR PUBLIC FIGURE OR IN THIS CASE, A PUBLIC COMPANY PUT.

>> Ted: IF I'M A PUBLIC OFFICIAL AND YOU WRITE SOMETHING NASTY ABOUT ME, I NEED TO SHOW WHAT, YOU WROTE SOMETHING NASTY ABOUT ME WHICH MAY NOT BE TRUE, BUT IF IT WAS A MISTAKE, THAT'S ONE THING IF YOU'RE GOING AFTER ME, THAT'S ANOTHER?

>> WHAT ACTUAL MALICE STIPULATE, THE PLAINTIFF NEEDS TO SHOW THE DEFENDANT ACTED EITHER KNOWING THE INFORMATION WAS FALSE AND STILL PUBLISHING IT OR BROADCASTING IT OR RECKLESS DISREGARD FOR THE TRUTH AND GIVEN WHAT WE'VE HEARD FROM FOX SO FAR THROUGH DEPOSITIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE PUBLIC AND IS FORTH, THEY HAVE BASTE THEY HAVE MADE THE CASE HOW THEY FELT AND WENT ON THE AIR WITH DIFFERENT INFORMATION.

>> Ted: CAN THEY SAID THEY WENT ON THE AIR WITH DIFFERENT INFORMATION AND ACCORDING TO SOME OF THESE DOCUMENTS, THAT'S WHAT THE AUDIENCE WANTS?

>> HARD TO KNOW HOW THAT WILL GET RESOLVED WE'LL FIND OUT SOON.

I THINK THE OTHER INTERESTING THING TO KNOW IS ONLY PART OF THE MEDIA IS COVERING IN STORE.

IF YOU'RE A FOX NEWS VIEWER, YOU'RE NOT SEEING MUCH ABOUT THIS.

THEY ARE NOT BROADCASTING THIS, YOU KNOW, ALMOST AT ALL.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE AS WE GO FORWARD WHAT IMPACT IT HAS ON FOX BEYOND, OBVIOUSLY, THE RAMIFICATIONS.

>> Ted: DOES THE FOX AUDIENCE CARE ABOUT THIS STORY?

>> I THINK IT'S HARD TO KNOW AND THE FEBRUARY RATINGS STAYED HIGH AND WE'LL SEE, BUFFINGS HAS BUFFINGS BUT FOX HAS TOUGH ROAD AHEAD AND THEY'VE HAD CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS.

HAS THOSE CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS POLITICAL, THEY HAVE A CHALLENGE AND THIS LAWSUIT IS A PIECE OF THAT AND SO HOW THAT UP RAVELS IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS WILL BE INTERESTING TO WATCH.

>> Ted: IN TERMS OF JOURNALISM AND ILLEGAL ASPECTS, HARD REPORTS, WERE SOMEONE MIGHT HAVE A BLOWING PERSONALITY.

IS IT TELLING WE'RE NOT SEEING A LOT OF JOURNALISM COMPANIES, ENTERPRISES COMING OUT, SUPPORTING FOX?

>> YOU DON'T THINK IT'S SURPRISING AT ALL.

YOU THINK THAT IN JOURNALISM, WE EXPECT CERTAIN STANDARDS AND FOR MOST PEOPLE AND SO WHEN WE SEE THAT VIOLATED, WE'RE AS APPALLED AS ANYONE ELSE.

>> Ted: IS TELLING BECAUSE JOURNALISM ENTERPRISES BAN TOGETHER WHEN BREAKING A STORY AND NO ONE IS DOING THAT.

>> THE EVIDENCE HAS BEEN COMPELLING.

>> Ted: WOULD YOU BE PRIZED, SURPRISED IF DOMINION DOES NOT WIN THIS LAWSUIT?

>> I LEARNED A LONG TIME AGO NOT TO PREDICT JUST ABOUT ANYTHING INCLUDING LAWSUITS.

BUT I WILL SAY THIS, IT WOULD BE SURPRISING IF DOMINION DOESN'T WIN.

>> Ted: IF DOMINION WIN, DOES IT CHANGE THE CHANGE?

>> IT DEPENDING ON THE SPLIT AND WHEN PEOPLE ARE INCREASINGLY USING DIGITAL PLATFORMS.

>> Ted: THAT'S A DIFFERENT CONVERSATION.

[ Laughter ] >> Ted: GOOD TO HAVE YOU BOTH HERE AND GOOD DISCUSSION AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

A NEW CENTER ADDRESSES HEALTH DISPARITIES INCLUDING HEALTH CANCER IN NATIVE AMERICAN COMMUNITIES.

>> NORTHERN ARIZONA UNIVERSITIES IS ADDRESSING THIS WITH HEALTH EQUITY AND THE DOCTOR, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THIS $4 MILLION NOW FROM THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY AND WHAT'S THAT MONEY GOING TO BE USED FOR?

>> IT'S TO ADDRESS THE THE INEQUITIES WITH CANCER CARE AND AFTER CARE FOR AMERICAN INDIANS IN ARIZONA.

>> Ted: IMPROVING CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT AND TALK ABOUT THE STATE OF THINGS NOW AND WHERE YOU WANT TO SEE IT GO.

>> THANK YOU.

WELL, RIGHT NOW, CANCER IS NOT REALLY ADDRESSED AT EITHER A NATIONAL OR STATE LEVEL FOR AMERICAN INDIAN COMMUNITIES AND UNLIKE DIABETES, WHICH DOES HAVE A CONGRESSIONAL MAN DATE, SO ALL FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED TRIBES IN THE NATION AND IN ARIZONA HAVE A DIABETES PREVENTION AND CONTROLLED PROGRAM.

UNFORTUNATELY, CANCER HAS NOT RECEIVED THAT SAME LEVEL OF ATTENTION AND THERE'S TWO TRIBES THAT HAVE PREVENTION, SCREENING AND CARE PROGRAMS AND THE OTHER 20 TRIBES IN THE STATE DON'T HAVE ANY RESOURCES TO PROVIDE ANY KIND OF CARE, EVEN GET SCREENING AVAILABLE AND IN MOST CASES PEOPLE HAVE TO LEAVE TO GET SCREENED OR TO GET ANY KIND OF CARE.

SO THE INTENTION OF THIS FUNDING IS TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT CAN BE DONE ON A POLICY LEVEL, ON A PROBLEMATICPROBLEMATIC LEVEL TO IMPROVE THIS.

>> Ted: EXPOSURE TO CAR CARCINOGENIC, I WOULD THINK THAT WOULD BE SUPREME.

>> ESPECIALLY TO CONTAMINANTS IS IMPORTANT SINCE PREVIOUS MINING ACTIVITIES AND PESTICIDES ARE RISK FACTORS IN NATIVE COMMUNITIES.

PRIMARY DRIVERS OF CANCER OUTCOMES ARE PROBABLY LIFESTYLE FACTORS AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, DIET, SMOKING AND OTHER KINDS OF BEHAVIORS THAT CAN INCREASE YOUR RISKS OF CANCER.

RIGHT NOW THAT LEVEL OF EDUCATION IS NOT PROMINENT IN MOST NATIVE COMMUNITIES P. >> Ted: IT SOUNDS THIS NEW CENTER FOR AMERICAN CANCER HEALTH EQUITY AND THIS IS OBVIOUSLY ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE SUSPECT OTHER IS ENHANCING DATA AND GETTING THAT INFORMATION OUT?

>> YEAH.

IT'S QUITE SURPRISING THAT MOST TRIBES ACROSS THE NATION AND CERTAINLY HERE IN ARIZONA, I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO TRIBE-SPECIFIC DATA AND THE DATA THAT IS COLLECTED BY INDIAN HEALTH SERVICE IS REPORTED TO STATE, BUT THEN THIS INFORMATION TENDS TO BE AVAILABLE AT A PHOENIX SERVICE AREA LEVEL.

IT'S AN AGGREGATE FROM THE TRIBES.

THEY DON'T KNOW WHICH IS THE HIGHEST RISK IN THE COMMUNITY.

>> Ted: I KNOW THERE'S STRUCTURAL RACISM AND CANCER RISKS AND DEFINE "STRUCTURAL RACISM" AND WHAT I SAW FROM YOUR REPORT HERE, UNDERLIES CANCER RISK.

>> THIS HAS A HISTORICAL BACKGROUND TO IT, THE STRUCTURE RACISM, AND MEANS THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT PROVIDES CARE TO AMERICAN INDIANS HAS CHALLENGES BECAUSE OF HISTORICAL AGREEMENTS.

SO WHEN TRIBES ENTER TREATY AGREEMENTS WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, ONE OF THE BENEFITS THEY SHOULD GET ARE PROVIDED EDUCATION AND HEALTHCARE.

THE ENTITY RESPONSIBLE HAS BEEN UNDERFUNDED AND AS A RESULT DOES NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO PROVIDE CANCER CARE AND CANCER DIAGNOSIS IN THEIR FACILITIES.

REALLY, THE ONLY PLACE THAT DOES IS ON THE NAVAJO NATION WHICH DEVELOPED A CANCER CENTER, BUT THAT'S THE OWN CANCER CENTER ON RESERVATION LAND, AT AT LEAST HERE IN THE GENERAL SOUTHWEST.

ALL OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE REFERRED OUT OF THEIR COMMUNITIES.

BUT INDIAN HEALTH SERVICE IS DOING THE BEST WITH WHAT THEY HAVE AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES.

THAT'S REALLY A STRUCTURAL RACISM ISSUE TO DRESS THIS IN AMERICAN INDIANS.

>> Ted: IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING RESOURCES UP AND OPERATIONATION RESOURCES ON AN ISSUE LIKE THIS IS IMPORTANT.

>> THE SPRING ISIS THAT TRIBE CAN TALK ABOUT WHAT THEIR GAPS ARE AND TO ADDRESS THE DEFICIENCIES IN IN THE COMMUNITY AND BUILD PARTNERSHIPS AND DISCUSSION DIDN'T INNER-TRIBAL DISCUSSION TO BE MANAGED WITHIN THE STATE OF ARIZONA AND SET A MODEL.

TRIBES ARE CONNECTING AROUND THIS ISSUE.

>> Ted: CENTER FOR HEALTH EQUITY RESEARCH AT NAU, CONGRATULATIONS AND CONTINUED SUCCESS.

HEALTHOFFICIALS NATIONWIDE ARE EXPRESSING CONCERN OVER VAPING AND KEEPING KIDS AWAY FROM VAPING AND eCIGS AND WE SPOKE ABOUT THIS WITH DR. B ARC SECONDASEL SHOUA.

WHAT IS VAPE VAPING?

>> HE OR SHE IS USING A SMALL DEVICE LIKE USB TWICE, LOOKS LIKE THAT.

WHEN THEY INHALE OR PUSH A BUTTON, THEY USE THE MACHINE TO USE A BATTERY ACTING COIL INTO TINY PARTICLES.

>> Ted: WITH VAPE, YOU'RE ENTAIL BEINHALING VAPE.

>> THEY ALL GET MIXED INTO A PARTICLE AND THEY CAN, LIKE, WHEN THEY HEAT THE COIL, THEY VAPE THAT.

>> Ted: HOW PREVALENT AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE?

>> A RECORD NUMBER OF YOUTH AND ADULTS USING THIS AND THINKING THAT IT'S SAFE, AND HAVING A WAY TO AVOID SMOKING AND SOMETHING SAFER THAN SMOKING AND I THINK ALL OF THIS IS, LIKE, A MISINFORMATION AND FOR ME, IT'S AS BAD AS SMOKING.

>> Ted: WHAT DOES VAPING DO TO THE LUNGS?

WE HAVE A GOOD INFORMATION WHAT SMOKING DOES AND BA DOES VAPING DO?

>> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

THE LONG-TERM COMPLICATIONS, WE DON'T HAVE THAT DATA YET AND WE HAVE A LOT OF SIGNS ABOUT WHAT THIS IS CAUSING TO THE LUNGS.

AS YOU KNOW, OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, WE HAVE A LOT OF CASE REPORTS AND ABOUT LUNG INJURYTERM HEMORRHAGE AND THIS IS A DEADLY DISEASE AND THERE'S NO CURE AND GOES FOR MANY YEARS AND PRESENTS AS SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND WHEEZING.

YOU CAN GET SHOT BY A BULLET OR BOW OR ARROW AND BOTH WILL CAUSE THE SAME TACH.

DAMAGE.

THE ONLY THING THAT SHE GO INTO THE LUNGS IS AIR OR MEDICATION PRESIDENTPRESCRIBED BY DOCTORS.

>> Ted: IS IT ADDICTIVE?

>> WE DON'T KNOW YET, BUT IT HAS NICOTINE ON IT AND I THINK IT HAS SOME ADDICTIVE COMPONENT.

MAYBE LONG-TERM DATA WILL KNOW IN FIVE OR TEN YEARS FROM NOW.

THAT'S THE DANGER OF IT.

SMOKING, AS WE ALL KNOW, SMOKING CIGARETTES WHEN PRESENTED, THERE'S NO RISK OF HEART SEIZE DISEASE.

BUT 15, 20 YEARS LATER, WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE A CLEAR EVIDENCE THAT SMOKING LEADS TO STROKE AND OTHER MEMBER PROBLEMS.

THIS IS THE SAME WITH VAPING.

FIVE OR 15 YEARS FROM NOW, WE WILL SEE A LOT OF THESE LONG-TEMPLELONG-TERM COMPLICATIONS.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS HAS IN IT.

AND IT'S LIKE IN A RECORD NUMBER.

I THINK WE SHOULD DECLARE A PUBLIC EMERGENCY ABOUT THIS.

>> Ted: YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ADDITIVES AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUTED ADDITIVES PREVIOUSLY AND FLAVORINGS.

YOU MENTIONED TICK NICOTINE AND ALL SORTS OF STUFF COULD BE ADDED.

>> THAT'S CORRECT.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE PUTTING INSIDE THESE VAPORS.

>> Ted: I READ AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, A SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING VITAMIN E AND IS THAT A FACTOR HERE?

>> I DON'T HAVE THE DATA ON THE VITAMIN E RELATING TO VAPOR.

I WILL LOOK IT UP FOR YOU.

>> Ted: I WAS OFF ON A RABBIT HOLE LOOKING UP THIS TOPIC BECAUSE IT'S FASCINATING.

SECOND HAND VAPOR, IS A THAT AN ISSUE?

I >> I THINK IT'S AN ISSUE.

YOU'RE EXPOSING YOUR LUNGS AND AGAIN, THE LONG-TERM, WE DON'T KNOW YET, BUT BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY HERE.

>> Ted: WHAT HAS THE CDC DONE AND WHAT KIND OF INFORMATION ARE THEY PASSING ALONG?

IS THE CDC READY TO DECLARE SUCH A THING?

>> I THINK THEY WILL SOON.

IT'S BECOMING PANDEMIC AMONG YOUNG ADULTS AND WE NEED MORE INFORMATION AND THERE SHOULD BE A CAMPAIGN TO EDUCATE THESE ADULTS AND THESE YOUNG ADULTS AND THESE YOUNG PEOPLE ABOUT THE DANGERS OF USING THESE MATERIALS AND IT SHOULD BE TAKEN OUT OF THE MARKETS.

>> Ted: LAST WHY YES.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW ABOUT VAPING?

IT'S NOT SAFE AND NOT A WAY TO QUIT SMOKING AND INCREASE YOUR RISK FOR LONG TESTIFY LONG-TERM DAMAGE INCLUDING LUNG CANCER AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO QUIT.

THEIT SHOULD BE AIR OR MEDICATION PRESCRIBED BY YOUR DOCTOR.

>> THANK YOU.THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AND YOU HAVE A GREAT EVENING.
