>> Ted: NEXT ON "ARIZONA HORIZON," THE LATEST ON REPORTS OF VOTER INTIMIDATION AT LOCAL OUTDOOR BALLOT DROP BOXES AND LATER, SKY HARBOR AIRPORT HELPS KIDS LEARN TO FLY WITHOUT LEAVING THE GROUND.

GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO ARIZONA HORIZON.

REPORTS OF VOTER INTIMIDATION AT THE BALLOT DROP BOXES ARE MAKING HEADLINES WITH ACCOUNTS WEARING MASKS AND DRESSED IN TACTILE GEAR WITH VOTERS DROPPING OFF BALLOTS AND THEY ARE CONDEMNING THE DROP BOX WATCHERS AND AND THEY ARE ASKING FOR A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER WITH ACTIONS THAT THREATEN VOTERS.

JEREMY DUDA IS JOINING US NOW AND THERE ARE TWO DROP BOXES IN PARTICULAR WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

THE TWO IN MARICOPA COUNTY, CORRECT?

>> ONE AT THE MAIN MARICOPA COUNTY ELECTION CENTER IN DOWNTOWN PHOENIX AND THEN IN MESA AT A JUVENILE JUSTICE COURT.

>> Ted: WHAT ARE THE ACCUSATIONS AND COMPLAINTS?

>> YOU HAVE SELF-APPOINTED DROP BOX WATCHERS INSPIRED BY THIS RIDICULOUS 2000 MULE'S MOVIE AND ALLEGATIONS THAT CAME OUT OF THAT THAT ARE ON THE LOOK-OUT FOR PEOPLE BALLOT HARVESTING WHICH IS A PERJORATIVE TERM, UNLESS YOU'RE A HOUSEHOLD MEMBER OF THE PLOT.

ABALLOT.THEY HAVE LAWN CHAIRS SET UP WATCHING, TAKING PICTURES AND VIDEO AND OTHER CASES, GETTING MORE AGGRESSIVE AND CONFRONTING PEOPLE AND ACCUSING THEM OF BEING MULES AND SOME OF THESE FOLKS ARE WEARING TACTILE GEAR.

IN SOME CASES, THEY HAVE BEEN ARMED, WHICH, OBVIOUSLY, CALLS FOR ALARM FOR ELECTION OFFICIALS AND FOR THE VOTERS TRYING TO EXERCISE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.

>> Ted: TAKING PHOTOS OF THE VOTERS AND THE REPORTS THEY HAVE THEIR OWN LICENSE PLATES COVERED?

>> YES, THEY HAD AN AMERICAN FLAG HANGING OFF THE TRUNK AND SECURING THE LICENSE PLATE AND I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S SOMETHING THEY'RE ALL DOING.

AT LEAST IN THAT ONE INCIDENT, THAT IS WHAT THEY WERE DOING.

>> Ted: IS WHAT THEY'RE DOING LEGAL?

>> I GUESS WE'LL FIND THAT OUT SOON.

THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS NOT JUST IN THE LAWSUIT BUT I THINK FIVE SOCIETIER INTIMIDATION COMPLAINTS THAT SECRETARY OF STATE, KATIE HOBBS, FORWARDED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.

SECRETARY HOBBS ALLEGES THIS IS ILLEGAL INTO A VIOLATION OF A STATE STATUTE AGAINST VOTER INTIMIDATION AND LAWSUITS ON THE FEDERAL LAWS AND VOTING RIGHT'S ACT AND KU KLUX KLAN ACT TO STOP PEOPLE GETTING IN THE WAY OF FOLKS EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE.

>> Ted: THERE'S WHAT'S ALLOWED AND NOT ALLOWED AT A POLLING PLACE AND ANY PLACE WHERE BALLOTS ARE SUBMITTED.

WHAT IS INTIMIDATION AND I GUESS AGAIN, AGAIN, WE'RE FIND THAT OUT AND THAT MIGHT BE DIFFERENT TO A LOT OF PEOPLE.

YOU CAN TAKE PICTURES OF PEOPLE AND AS JOURNALISTS WE DO THAT ALL OF THE TIME.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND DO THESE VOTERS FEEL INTIMIDATED.

IF YOU HAVE ONE BALLOT OR YOU'RE BALLOT AND YOUR WIFE'S BALLOT AND YOU ROLL INTO THE PARKING LOT AND TAKING PICTURES OF YOUR LICENSE PLATE, THAT'S UNSETTLING.

OR ACCUSING YOU OF COMMITTING CRIMES AND DRESSED IN MILITARY GEAR OR CARRYING WEAPONS, THAT'S UNSETTLING.

IT'S EASY TO SEE A SCENARIO WHERE SOMEONE WILL DRIVE UP AND SEE THAT AND TURN RIGHT BACK AROUND AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

>> Ted: I THINK THERE WAS A REPORT, AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLKS FOLLOWING THE VOTER OUT TO THE CAR AND CLAIMING THEY WERE A MULE AND HOW WOULD YOU KNOW IF SOMEONE IS DROPPING OFF FAMILY OR PEOPLE WITHIN THE HOUSEHOLD?

YOU CAN DO THAT AND DROP THAT OFF.

HOW DO THESE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT?

>> THAT'S WHAT MAKES THIS ABSURD.

IF YOU SHOW UP WITH THREE BALLOTS, THEY HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THAT'S YOUR SPOUSE OR ROOMMATE.

IF YOU SHOW UP WITH A GIANT SACK WITH BALLOTS FROM SORROS AND DROPPING THEM INTO THE BOX, OK, THAT'S OBVIOUS.

BUT TWO BALLOTS, THREE BALLOTS, FOUR BALLOTS, EVEN, DEPENDING ON WHO'S IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD, THEY WOULD HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING.

AND FURTHERMORE, IF THEY DID KNOW, REASON TO SUSPECT, WHAT WOULD YOU ACTUALLY DO ABOUT IT?

YOU HAVE NO -- IF I HAVE THREE BALLOTS AND TWO, I KNOCKED ON MY NEIGHBOR'S DOOR AND HARVESTING YOUR BALLOT FOR THE ELECTION AND THEY HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE, THEY CAN'T STOP ME.

THEY COULD CALL THE POLICE, BUT DO THEY HAVE PROBABLY CAUSE AND INVESTIGATE.

WHICH I KNOW IS A COMPLAINT FROM ELECTION OFFICIALS.

THEY ALL SAID, WE HAVE NO MECHANISM TO ENFORCE THIS AND THERE'S NO WAY TO ENFORCE IT AND NO MONEY TO DO IT ANYWAY.

SO IT'S A TOUCHY ISSUE.

THERE'S INCIDENTS LIKE WE SAW A COUPLE OF CASES IN YUMA COUNTY WHERE FOLKS WERE CAUGHT ROUNDING UP OTHER PEOPLE'S BALLOTS IN SMALL NUMBERS FOR THE 2020 PRIMARY.

IN SOME CASES, NOT SURE HOW YOU WOULD CATCH SOMEONE LIKE THIS.

AND THERE'S THOUSANDS OF OTHER BOXES, MAILBOXES.

TED THEY'RE NOT >> Ted: THEY'RE NOT MONITORING MAILBOXES, ARE THEY?

>> NO.

I WOULD IMAGINE SINCE EVERYONE IN THE WORLD THESE FOLKS ARE AT CAMPING OUT AT DROP BOXES.

MAYBE AFTER NOVEMBER 1st, THERE WILL BE MORE TRAFFIC, FOOT TRAFFIC AT THESE DROP BOXES AND FOR NOW, YOU PUT IT IN YOUR MAILBOXES AND YOU CAN GO TO THE POST OFFICE AND PUT IT IN THERE.

WHY WOULD YOU GO TO THE ONLY PLACE IN THE WORLD WHERE THERE ARE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WITH GUNS AND FACE MASKS WEARING CAMOUFLAGE MONITORING?

>> Ted: YOU MENTIONED THE REFERRALS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, SECRETARY OF STATE, FIVE CRIMINAL REPORTS SO FAR AND THAT FALLS SHORT OF ARRESTS AND CITATION AND I'M IMAGINING MORE OF THAT AND WE HAVE THIS SUIT, THIS RESTRAINING ORDER FROM A COUPLE OF GROUPS SAYING WHAT, THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO KEEP US FROM VOTING OR DISSUADE US FROM VOTING?

>> YEAH.

THEY FEEL LIKE THIS IS STRAIGHT UP VOTER INTIMIDATION AND THEY WANT INJUNCTION FROM THE COURTS AND DAMAGES.

WE HAVE MORE LAWSUITS COMING, AS WELL AND WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME TO SEE LITIGATION.

>> Ted: TIME TABLE FOR ANY OF THAT?

>> I WOULD IMAGINE, YOU KNOW, THE JUSTICE SYSTEM TENDS TO MOVE SLOWLY, ESPECIALLY AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.

I WOULD IMAGINE BEFORE THAT, MONITORS, MAYBE UNOFFICIAL INVESTIGATIONS BY DOJ TO SEE WHAT ACTIONS THEY WANT TO TAKE.

I SPOKE WITH A FORMER VOTING RIGHT'S ATTORNEY AT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WHO SAYS, EXPECTED THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TO SEND OUT MONITORS AND BASED ON WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW, IT'S A SLAM DUNK.

>> Ted: IS WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW DIFFERENT THAN WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE PRY NEAR?

>> PRIMARY?

>> I DON'T RECALL STUFF LIKE THIS HAPPENING FOR THE PRIMARY.

I KNOW THERE WAS CITIZEN AUDITORS AND IF YOU GO TO THE COUNTY ELECTION'S DEPARTMENT, YOU SEE NOT ONLY THE CHANGE LINKED FENCE BUT THE SHADE ON THERE SO YOU CAN SEE THROUGH THERE BUT CAN'T SEE PERFECTLY AND I KNOW THERE WERE CONCERNS BY THESE GROUPS FROM THE PRIMARY THAT PROMPTED IT, BUT I DON'T REMEMBER THIS SPECIFIC THING HAPPENING.

I THINK THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT AND I THINK IT WAS THE GENERAL ELECTION WHERE PEOPLE WERE CONCERNED THINGS WERE HAPPENING AND WE'RE SEEING THAT HAPPENING NOW.

>> Ted: LAST POINT HERE, THE COUNTY HAS COME OUT AND SAID, KNOCK IT OFF AND YESTERDAY, THE QUOTE, THE POLL QUOTE, WE'LL BABY-SIT POLLING SITES IF THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO DO AND EMPHASIZED "BABY-SIT."

>> CRIMES AND THEY'RE INSISTING.

>> Ted: IS THIS ARCING UP AND SOMETHING THAT MAY HAVE PEAKED AND WAIVE GOODBYE.

>> I DROVE BY AND FOLKS HAVE BEEN THERE ALL DAY AND I THINK THEY'RE IN MESA AND STILL A COUPLE WEEKS TO THE ELECTION.

>> Ted: JEREMY DUDA, GOOD TO SEE YOU.

>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.

>> Ted: UP NEXT, A LOOK AT EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THE INCREASING RATES OF ALZHEIMER'S IN ARIZONA.

THERE WAS A GRANT FROM THE MARICOPA COUNTY OF HEALTH TO ADDRESS GROWING CONCERNS ABOUT ALZHEIMER'S.

HERE IS MARIBETH GALLAGHER, THE DIRECTOR AT HOSPICE OF THE VALLEY AND GOOD TO SEE YOU.

>> SO HAPPY TO BE HERE.

>> Ted: THE DEDEMENTIA CARE AND EDUCATION CAMPUS, WHAT IS THIS?

>> A FIRST OF ITS KIND AND ONE-STOP SHOPPING.

PEOPLE CAN COME AND RECEIVE EDUCATION AND SOCIALIZE AND EXPERIENCE THE ARTS AND ON THIS CAMPUS IS A BIG EDUCATION BUILDING AND THAT'S A LOT OF OUR FOCUS AND AN ADULT DAY CLUB WHERE PEOPLE CAN COME FOR THE DAY.

THERE'S A CHILD CENTER AND SO IT'S BEAUTIFUL IF YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT THE INTERGENERATIONAL BENEFITS.

>> Ted: YES.

>> THE CHILDREN VISIT GRANDMOTHERS AND GRANDFATHERS DURING THE DAY.

WE HAVE AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY INTO A SMALL DEMENTIA UNIT, AS WELL.

>> Ted: IT LOOKS LIKE A WONDERFUL PLACE AND FAMILIES CAN DECOMPRESS AND GET THINGS GOING.

WITH THAT IN MIND, YOU RECEIVED A CONTRACT FROM THE MARICOPA COUNTY OF HEALTH.

WHAT'S THAT ABOUT?

>> WE'RE SO THRILLED TO EDUCATE THREE HOUSE HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS ON DEMENTIA.

OFTENTIMES THEY'RE THE FIRST LINE FOR MEETING PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA.

>> Ted: THIS IS PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS?

>> NURSE PRACTITIONERS.

>> Ted: SO THEY CAN RECOGNIZE SOMETHING IS GOING ON HERE.

>> 90% OF THE PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS ARE SAYING THEY'RE EXPERIENCING THIS INCREASING NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA AND 50% SAYING THEY FEEL THEY HAVE LITTLE PREPARATION TO DO THIS WELL AND THIS WILL BE OUR FOCUS.

>> Ted: WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THAT AND THE FOCUS OF HELPING THEM PREPARE, WHAT DOES THAT INVOLVE?

>> YOU KNOW, SO DR. MIAH ANGLA SAYS WHEN HE KNOW BETTER, WE DO BETTER.

SO THIS IS HOW DO YOU LIVE WELL WITH DEMENTIA?

>> Ted: IS THAT SOMETHING THAT GETS LOST BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF CLINICAL STUFF HERE AND A LOT OF MEDICATION THERE AND TESTING AND RESULTS AS OPPOSED TO QUALITY OF LIFE?

DOES IT GET LOST?

>> IT DOES.

THERE'S A STIGMA WITH DEMENTIA AND WE WANT TO SHATTER THAT STIGMA TO SAY, INDEED, THERE ARE CHALLENGES.

>> Ted: IT'S IMPORTANT, I WOULD IMAGINE, TO SUPPORT THESE FOLKS AND GET THIS IN LINE.

>> WHEN PEOPLE HEAR HOSPICE OF THE VALLEY, THEY THINK OF END OF LIFE, BUT WE HAVE PROGRAMS FOR PEOPLE AT ANY STAGE WITH ANY TYPE OF DEMENTIA AND OFTENTIMES THESE PROGRAMS ARE AT NO COST.

>> Ted: INTERESTING.

SUPPORTIVE CARE, EXPLAIN THAT PROGRAM.

>> THE SUPPORTIVE CARE IS NO COST, AGAIN, FOR ANY STAGE OF DEMENTIA AND PEOPLE LIVING ALONE WITH DEMENTIA, ANY TYPE OF DEMENTIA AND GOES IN AND HELPS THE PERSON WHENEVER THEY'RE AT AND A LOT OF TIMES, THIS IS FOR THE FAMILY OR THE FRIENDS.

>> Ted: YOU HAVE THEM AT HOME AND CAMPUS AND SAME KIND OF THING GOING ON.

>> THEY CAN VISIT ON MONDAYS AND WE HAVE A MEMORY CAFE AND THERE'S SO MUCH FUN, PEOPLE LIVING WITH DEMENTIA CAN COME TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY AND EXPERIENCE ARTS AND SOCIALIZATION AND THEN WE HAVE EDUCATION, FREE EDUCATION EVERY THURSDAY MORNING AND I'M TEACHING ON MANY TYPES AND USING MUSIC.

>> Ted: INTERESTING.

WHEN PRIMARY CARE AND OTHER HEALTHCARE, THE FIRST LINE OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, WHEN THEY GET THIS INFORMATION, I MEAN, IS THIS NEW TO THEM?

>> YEAH.

UNFORTUNATELY, GOD BLESS THEM BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE ALL OF THIS STAY CURRENT AND BE AWARE OF THE GROWING RESOURCES OUT IN THE COMMUNITY.

SO WE'RE EXCITED AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO COME TO US.

WE'LL GO TO HIM TO EDUCATE THEM.

>> Ted: WHAT ARE THE RESOURCES?

>> JUST IN THE COMMUNITY, DIFFERENT LEGAL AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT.

>> Ted: WE JUST DID A STORY THE OTHER DAY, A HEADLINER, A NEW STUDY THAT SAYS MAYBE AS MANY AS 10% OF THE ADULTS OVER 65 HAVE SOME FORM OF DEMENTIA AND 22% MILD, BUT THAT'S A LOT.

ARE THEY INCREASING?

WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE?

>> SO ARE YOU AWARE THAT ARIZONA HAS THE HIGHEST GROWTH RATE OF PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA IN THE WHOLE UNITED STATES?

>> Ted: YES.

>> BY THE TIME PEOPLE REACH 85 AND OLDER, A THIRD OF INDIVIDUALS HAVE SOME TYPE OF DEMENTIA AT SOME STAGE OF DEMENTIA.

WE THINK ABOUT ALZHEIMER'S AND THERE'S OVER 100 DIFFERENT TYPES OF DEMENTIA AND ALZHEIMER'S IS THE MOST COMMON IS THE GREATEST RESPECT FOR ALZHEIMER'S IS AGE.

>> Ted: WHEN IT COMES TO DEMENTIA, ARE THERE DIFFERENT FORMS AND DO THEY TOUCH ON ALZHEIMER'S OR FULL-BROKEN ALZHEIMER'S?

>> PROBABLY 50% OF ALZHEIMER'S HAVE WHAT'S CALLED A MIXED DEMENTIA AND VASCULAR DEMENTIA.

>> Ted: IS THE RACE RATE INCREASING, AS WELL AND ARE WE SEEING MORE OF THIS OR PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS IT HAS BEEN AND WE JUST WEREN'T AWARE OF IT?

>> THAT'S A MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION AND I'M NOT QUITE SURE.

>> Ted: THAT'S WHAT YOU FIND OUT, HUH?

>> THAT'S WHAT WE'LL BE DOING, YEAH.

IT'S MORE ON OUR RADAR.

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE KIDS AND OUR ELDERS HAD HARDENING OF THE ARTERIES AND WHEN YOU GET OLDER, YOU GET KOOKIE, THAT'S NOT TRUE.

>> Ted: THIS RUNS THROUGH NEXT YEAR?

>> ALL FOR 2023 AND ANY HELD HEALTH PROVIDER, PLEASE CONTACT US AND YOU GET CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION POINTS.

>> Ted: SO HOSS PUSS OF HOSPICE OF THE VALLEY.

>> IT'S (602)767-8300 OR CALL HOSPICE OF THE VALLEY AND SAY THE WORLD DEMENTIA EDUCATION.

>> Ted: THIS IS GREAT INFORMATION.
