>> Coming up in the next hour, on Arizona horizon, a new survey find out what voters say are the issues that they care about most and conCronkite news, an Arizona senator calls out water conservation efforts in other states.

That's ahead on Arizona PBS.

Arizona house speaker rusty baurs will hear before the house select committee investigating last year's attack on the U.S. capitol and has been subpoenaed to testify about how then President Trump tried to overturn the results of Arizona he's presidential vote.

He stated that trump and R Rudy Giuliani tried to override the choice of the voters and ask for proof he would be allowed by law to do that and trump and his testimony is slated to start at 10:00 a.m.

This as a new ABC news poll finds the hearingsfindand found 58% said trump beared a good amount of responsibility for the attack on the capitol and the same percentage that an ABC poll found in December and the same number 58% think that trump should be charged with a crime related to the attack.

Again, no change from December.

And President Biden said said he's considering a federal holiday on the gas tax.

It could save Sault Ste.

consumers as much as 18-cents at the pumps and why they're not refining more oil.

>> They've cut back on refining, on refining and don't want to be caught where eventually they've move to alternative energy, renewable energy and don't want to get stuck.

Guess what?

There's no logical transition and I want an explanation as to why they're not refining more oil.

Refining more oil.

>> And as for the gas tax holiday, the president hopes to get that decided by the end of the week.

They show what Arizona say are the issues they care about most and include education, water, sustainability and the economy and for more, we welcome president and CEO of the center for the future of Arizona.

Always a pleasure and good to see you.

>> Thank you.

>> Before we get started, what is this?

>> A nonprofit, 501C3, committed to create a stronger and brighter future for our state.

>> A definition now for the Arizona voter's agenda.

>> This seeks to find out from voters what they would like candidates to be discussing during the campaign as they campaign for their votes.

>> How is this survey conducted?

>> Using high ground public affairs, in April and likely voters in ass Arizona.

We found education, environment, jobs in the economy, immigration and water rose to the top and we defined -- we said that to get onto the Arizona voter's agenda, we had to have 50% of all likely Arizona voters would strongly agree with the statement that we would ask them about.

>> We're going to get to the results here, because a lot more than 50% found agreement and let's start with the first panel and this looks at, you know, voters wanting, saying they want to know about key issues and talk to us about that.

>> So we asked them what they thought were the issue discussed or that they wanted to see discussed and you know, what's interesting, we hear so much campaign rhetoric about polarization and division devastation in the elect transit electorate and what's interesting is people were in agreement on the important issues that are facing Arizona and two-thirds of Arizona voters care about where a candidate stands on the issues and the plans they have for addressing it than the political ideology or political party.

>> Did that surprise insure.

>> you?

>> A little bit because we've been soaked in this atmosphere of polarization and division and we think these are in these extreme camps much more we have in common Arizona as voters that is not discussed, in fact.

>> Our next graphic, regarding the agreement as we mentioned on so many issues and we'll start with education and 97%.

That's a lot of folk saying the same thing.

>> It is and the top ranked issue or close to the top ranked issue, how the candidates running for office will ensure we have high quality teachers and leaders in schools.

Voters feel that education is still underfunded and teaches are underpaid and came out in high numbers, as well.

>> I was going to say, hopefully they understand there are certain offices to affect change with education and much more so than others.

Did it get that deep?

>> In terms of what we were asking voters, what they wanted candidate es ins in office to address.

>> H >> We didn't realize we were be talking about this on the show as the surplus was being discussed.

We have a four billion surplus and what they prioritize and they prefer we invested in education, roads and other infrastructure rather than cutting taxes.

So they highly prioritize education in particular.

>> There was an agreement on water issues and this is what we get into the conversation and 95%, talking about securing water and the future and long-term drought and the whole nine yards, huh?

>> It seems water is in the news everyday and growing concerned about securing our water supplies and not hearing candidates talk about this at all.

This is also super majorities of people in Arizona who care about this.

We're saying that Arizona voters want to though what they'll do about water and probably advance their cause if they could put out a plan for the voters.

>> Surveys, people will say certain things and just to make themselves look good for a survey and think that's the right thing to do and I think candidates would pick up on that -- if I were running for office and I knew water was a crucial issue, I would never stop talking about it, but it's also that candidates don't believe the voters.

>> You know, this is for maybe a longer conversation some other time.

But I think this has to do with how our elections are structured and candidates are speaking to their base or in the primaries and we won't get to the issues.

I think there's a lot more structural issues like that that we could be looking at to understand more or why candidates don't team in incentivized.

>> How many in total?

>> Six that we'll be releasing are environment findings on Wednesday and immigration and election reformulator this week and early next week.

>> Can you gives us hints?

>> On the environment, people in Arizona are concerned about fire and air quality and it seems to be we're releasing these results in a timely way given what's going on in our state.

For elections, people in Arizona peopleArizona.

People thinkArizona.

Arizona, people think they are fairly run and want to maintain access, both early in-voting and mail-in.

>> Fire, I think you could have one that we need to do a better job of protecting what's out there and do control burns and thinning in certain spots two viewpoints but the same thing.

>> The survey doesn't tell the candidates what the answers are.

What they're saying, let's ask the candidate was they say the answers are to these issues issues and what is their plan for Forest fires and different approaches and what is it?

>> Is it enough to see the results?

Is that enough that we can find a way to break the tribal splits that seem to be growing and growing out there.

>> I'm hearing this all around and when we share results and we have much more in common than divides us and I see a sense of relief and I think people know that intuitivety and don't understand why our politics are so divided and I think it's a complicated answer.

To some extent how the primary system works and in the past, there have been efforts to reform that.

It seems to incentivize the majority.

>> What do we take from the survey?

>> That there's hope and people in Arizona are sensible people who actually agree on much more than we disagree.

We're not nearly as divided or Partisan as others would have us believe.

>> It's the Arizona voters agenda and thank you.

>> Up nebs, next, a critic to distribute afghans to victims of 9-1-1.

>> President Biden recently ordered that half of frozen funds in Afghanistan central bank be distributed to victims of 9-1-1 and Dan Pelegrino who survived a bombing in Beirut said it should be placed in a special fund for all victims of terror to receive how an equitable basis and joining us is Dan.

They'll unfreeze it and half for humanitarian effort and you don't think this is a great idea and why?

>> There are thousands of other victims of terrorism who are left out and if those funds could be deposited into the USST system, then all of the different victims could get to share and this stands for United States victims of state sponsored terrorism.

>> I want to get to that, but it sounds as though what the Biden Administration is doing is focus on civilians.

Is that what you're seeing here?

>> Could be, could be, yeah, because the world trade center was mostly civilians and the other -- the fund is a mixture of government employees, military, civilians and so the embassy bombings in Africa and marine barracks, et cetera, they were all in the funds.

>> The state sponsored terrorist fund what you have referred to before, this is what started in 2015?

>> 2015.

>> What is it all about?

>> If you had a federal judgment that you went to court, a federal court and the judge agreed, you what victim of one of the countries, then you were entitled to compensation and then it started -- I think next year they distributedded funded anded and the funds come from fines and it's state-sponsored from terrorism.

It's Iran, Syria, Cuba and north coreKorea.

>> It's from the central bank and you're talking a lot of Taliban money and instead, put it into this fund to be districteddistributed to you and others?

>> Something for everybody instead ofinstead of just 9-1-1 folks.

And people saying I was injured worse than the other folks and my son was killed and the other person was only wounded.

We eliminate all of that and we would go into USSBST and everybody would get somebody.

>> I was going to say, an employee howhow anon an equitable basis.

>> Who was hurt the worst and they come up with a ratio called a pro rata and everybody gets the same percentage and it's also dependent on how up the judge awarded.

So if you were awarded $30 million and pro rata is 2% you,,you get more.

>> Are there caps involved?

>> There are caps and I would have to research it carefully on the website and anybody can go onto the website and look at it and, in fact, if somebody somebody has a question, I could fill them in and they've got to have a federal judgment and you have to go through a federal court and from there.

>> Quickly, if you could, describe what you went through in 1983.

>> It started off as normal and just after lunch, 1:04, there was a tremendous explosion, bomb and I received numerous lacerations and wounds and an eye injury throughout my head and face and hands and required going to the hospital, which was considered third world and so that's what we had.

There was no U.S. medical help nearby and that's where I was.

>> Are you concerned that people forget about that and that's a long time ago and 9-1-1 was closer and there are other terrorist activities closer still.

Are you concerned people will forget?

>> We tag along with the far marines.

Everybody remembers the marines and we're there and we're in the history books and well documented and so we don't feel that left out and we know that we're being counted.

>> You want to see this money instead in the fun and distributed equitabley and there are those who say sheet it should be all back to the afghans and how do you respond?

>> People over there are responding and homeless and whatnot, medical care and so, decision above my paygrade and I would favor that if they, per chance, decided to put it all in the USBSST, I won't argue.

>> What about all to humanitarian efforts?

>> That's above my pay gradegrade but but it all there so everybody gets something, not just the 9-1-1 folk.

>> It's an interesting folks, a Beirut bombing survivors, and thank you.

>> Thank you for having me.

[ ♪♪♪ ] >> Arizona's film industry is coming back to life and not like when they were costars in dozenschs of productions and we're joined by Matthew Earl joins and how are things out there?

>> Things are good and I've had that job for four our five years.

>> So what happened to the glory days when it seemed like every western you could recognize?

>> Well, hopefully, the westerns will come back and I think that the film program was a victim of the recession like a lot of programs were and I was hired at the end of December of 2016 and I've seen a constant increase of productions and inquiries into films in the state.

>> When you were hired, what was your charge and what was needed?

>> Pretty much a complete revamp and we've been shut down six years and as I jokingly set, I inherited a hat and pin and they've been supportive of letting us bring this back out in a way people work for the industry.

>> What's going on right now and are we seeing Hollywood productions and maybe coming out and what's going on out there?

>> We've had a huge win with the HBO max pilot differenter that shot in Tucson and that project -- that was JJ Abrams as the director and Josh hollowway as the star and that put it more than they've seen in an entire year for decades.

>> Wow!

That much, huh?

>> That much, and it's coming back and if it suck sealeds and successful, that lights the way.

>> Everybody likes to be the second person to discover the next best thing and HBO was the first in awhile and talking about the glory days, there's a long and illustrious history and the differenter project was the biggest one and a huge uptick in people calling and I think once we've demonstrated that we could handle a project of that size, a lot of people were willing to, to look at asanas Arizona in a fundamentally different way.

>> What about commercials?

>> We're blessed with the most beautiful topography on the planet and an MOU and we've expanded offerings.

>> What understanding is involved here.

>> With the Navajo nation and television and film to promote their lands and facilitate production on the Navajo nation and with the state of Senora, we didn't have the beach and now, instead of importing jobs, we export the crew and talent and this was not a location we would have had and we didn't have to give up anything to get that gain.

>> Back to the Navajo nation, training folks up there to do production jobs, true.

>> We have repeatly completed a five-year, five-school training program which will put about 400 people into our workforce and in five years, two thousand people into the workforce.

>> How are tax incentives handled now and how has it changed if it has been changed at all?

>> I can't address why it wasn't away and again, I think this is whereas as doeswhere Arizona does well and cost is less and we have a great standard of living and multiple locations.

>> You talked about the memorandums of understanding with Mexico and the Navajo nation and as simple as building relationships or rebuilding relationships?

>> I think it's building and rebuilding and I think this is a relationship business and we've had a long history, as you eluded to with the studios in Hollywood and we go back -- we film in Arizona in 1913 and over one hundred years of production.

>> I'm a Hollywood production magnate and tired of seeing the same old hills I call and what do you tell me?

>> We route them to our database of locations and basically find out what you're looking for.

If you know your location, we have 16,000 locations on our website categorized and if you see you're looking for a western town didn't a modern city scape, we will direct you and if you are looking for help, we can make suggestions.

>> Yeah, yeah, so far people are calling.

>> People are calling and since Covid, our policies protected our lives and livelihood and kept us hope where California was closed.

Not to take advantage of their misfortune, but I was receiving calls from people I had not spoken to in the three years prior.

>> Isn't that something.

Matthew Earl Jones, good luck.

>> Thank you for being here and that is it for now and thank you for joining us and you have a great evening!

Coming up in the next half hour, the science behind the popular game called cornhole.
