ALL RIGHT, WE ARE JUST NINE DAYS AWAY FROM ELECTION DAY. CANDIDATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE MAKING THEIR FINAL PITCHES TO VOTERS. ONE LONGTIME POLITICIAN NOTICEABLY NOT ON THE BOUT THIS CYCLE IS THE OUTGOING REPUBLICAN CONGRESSWOMAN, LIZ CHENEY. IF YOU RECALL, SHE LOST HER PRIMARY RACE FOR WYOMING'S ONLY SEE IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE, WHICH SHE HAD HELD SINCE 2017, AFTER SHE CALLED OUT DONALD TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS WERE PERPETUATING THE BIG LIE AND FOR INCITING THE DEADLY RIOT AT THE CAPITOL ON JANUARY 6TH. WHILE SHE IS NOT ON THE BALLOT HERSELF, SHE'S CONTINUING HER PRO DEMOCRACY FIGHT. IN FACT SHE IS BRINGING IT RIGHT HERE IN ARIZONA. STARTING ON FRIDAY, CHENEY APPEARS IN POLITICAL ADS TARGETING THE STATES TOP POLITICAL DENIER INCLUDING KARI LAKE AND MARK FINCHEM. CHENEY'S BRAND OF POLITICS REMIND SOME PEOPLE HERE IN ARIZONA OF THE LATE JOHN MCCAIN, WIDELY REMEMBERED AS A PATRIOT AND A STAUNCH CONSERVATIVE. ALSO A MAN OF INTEGRITY WHO WAS A TRUMP CRITIC UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 2018. IN MY CONVERSATION WITH ARIZONA VOTERS I ASKED HIM ABOUT CHENEY'S AND WHETHER HER ACTIONS SPEAK TO THEM AS ARIZONANS. >> SHE WANTS TO SAVE THE REPUBLIC. SHE IS PUTTING COUNTRY FIRST. WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN PUTTING AMERICA FIRST. I KNOW THAT THAT IS MAYBE A DISTINCTION WITHOUT A DIFFERENCE BUT TO ME IT IS DIFFERENT. COUNTRY FIRST MEANS YOU'RE REPORTING THE GREATER GOOD BEFORE ANYTHING. AMERICA FIRST, WHEN I HEAR THAT, I HEAR I'M GONNA COME TO THE CUT A LITTLE ON. GIVE ME JIMMY. WE ARE BETTER THAN EVERYBODY. THAT IS NOT HOW I THINK LIZ CHENEY IS HANDLING THIS. I THINK SHE IS TRYING TO SAVE THE REPUBLIC FOR US BEFORE SHE THINKS ABOUT HER PARTY. THAT IS VERY MUCH ABANDONED HER. SHE STOOD UP TO LIES AND DISINFORMATION THAT IS PULLING AT THE FABRIC OF THE COUNTRY. >> SHE IS TRYING TO KEEP THE INTEGRITY OF THE PARTY. PUTTING THE REPUBLIC A LITTLE BIT BEFORE THE IDEOLOGY. SHE HAS NOT LOST WHAT SHE BELIEVED IN BEFORE, RIGHT? SHE STANDS BY WHAT SHE SAID. THESE ARE WOMEN THAT ARE TEARING IT STRINGS, GOING COMPLETELY OUT OF WHAT THE PARTY IS SUPPOSED TO BE BASED IN. I'M A DEMOCRAT, I THINK IS SEEING HER REPUBLICAN SAYING WE STAND TOGETHER WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE INTEGRITY OF OUR PARTY AND OUR NATION STAYS INTACT. I'M NOT YOUR ENEMY YOU ARE NOT MINE. LET'S WORK TOGETHER I THINK THE BIG GOAL IS TO MAINTAIN DEMOCRACY. THE FIGHT THAT SHE IS MAKING OTHER ARIZONANS COME TO THAT CONCLUSION I THINK IS MARVELOUS. IT SHOWS THE DYNAMICS OF HOW INTRICATE POLITICS CAN BE. >> IT'S ALSO VERY TELLING ABOUT THE FACT THAT SHE BELIEVES ARIZONA IS SO CENTRAL TO THE PRESERVATION OF DEMOCRACY, SHE IS SPENDING TIME IN THE STATE. >> I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE POINT WE ARE IN THE COUNTRY. LIKE YOU SAID THERE ARE REPUBLICANS WHO ARE SPEAKING ABOUT THIS EGREGIOUS EVENT THAT HAPPENED ON JANUARY 6TH. THIS WAS NOT JUST AN ISOLATED EVENT IN WASHINGTON D.C.. WE HAD OUR OWN VERSION THAT TOOK PLACE IN 2020. WE HAVE THE RHETORIC THAT SEEPED INTO THE POLITICAL STRUCTURE HERE. YOU HAVE CANDIDATES RELYING ON THE FRAUDULENT ELECTION DENIER CAMPAIGN POINT. FEAR IN FRAUDULENCE THAT THEY ARE TAPPING INTO -- SENSATIONALISM BUT THEY ARE TAPPING INTO. IN ORDER TO SCARE PEOPLE AND GALVANIZE VOTES. WHEN YOU DO SPEAK TO SOMEONE WHO IS QUINTESSENTIALLY CONSERVATIVE. REPUBLICANS SPEAKING OUT AGAINST THESE ISSUES. LIKE YOU SAID, THAT SHOULD BE A STARTLING MOMENT. AT THE END OF THE DAY COMES DOWN TO ACCOUNTABILITY. THE BEAR MINIMUM IS ACCOUNTABILITY. IF YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING THAT COULD POTENTIALLY DESTABILIZE OUR COUNTRY, THAT NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT FRONT AND CENTER. IT IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A DISQUALIFYING STANCE. YOU ARE UNDERMINING OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT -- >> IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A DISQUALIFYING STANCE! EXCEPT, A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE WILL WIN ACROSS THE COUNTRY. >> THE THING ABOUT LIZ CHENEY'S, SHE HAS ACTUALLY SEEN THE EVIDENCE. SHE HAS BEEN IN THESE MEETINGS. >> I HAVE A LITTLE EXPERIENCE. I SAID MORE COMMITTEE HEARINGS THAN MOST PEOPLE. YOU KNOW THE INFORMATION, AND IT SCARES YOU THAT MUCH -- >> TO LOSE YOUR PARTY'S NOMINATION! >> I KNOW DICK CHENEY DICK CHENEY IS A CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN WHO PROBABLY NEVER VOTED FOR A DEMOCRAT. THE IDEA THAT SHE IS DOING ADS RIGHT NOW IS STARTLING. YOU HEARD MY OTHER REPUBLICAN FRIENDS SAY, WHAT MOTIVATES THEM IS PROTECTING OUR WAY OF LIFE. OUR DEMOCRACY, OUR REPUBLIC. DO YOU KNOW WHAT MOTIVATES ME TO VOTE IN THIS ELECTION? IT IS REALLY TO SEND MY REPUBLICAN PARTY A MESSAGE. YOU GUYS NEED TO STRAIGHTEN UP. THE BIG TEN, LIKE RONALD REAGAN SAID. NOT BE THE LITTLE TENT. THE TINY, TINY, TOP TENT -- IF YOU ARE NOT IDEOLOGICALLY PURE. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE ARE THE RIGHT, WE HAVE ALL THE RIGHT ANSWERS THEN YOU'RE OUT COME ON! NONE OF US HAVE ALL THE RIGHT ANSWERS. NONE OF US DO. WHAT MOTIVATES ME TO VOTE IN THIS ELECTION IS SENDING BIPARTISAN MESSAGE, YOU KNOW? YOU DO THIS, YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE. >> A FEW OF YOU HAVE ASSOCIATION WITH JOHN MCCAIN, RIGHT? HOW MANY PEOPLE HERE? THREE OF YOU? WHETHER YOU'RE A DEMOCRAT OR A REPUBLICAN, THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT SAW QUALITIES IN JOHN MCCAIN, PARTICULARLY IN HIS LAST YEARS THROUGH HIS PRESIDENTIAL RUNS. SOME PEOPLE DIDN'T LIKE A LOT OF THE THINGS HE DID BUT THEY FELT LIKE HE UPHELD THE STANDARDS OF POLITICS THAT WE MAYBE DON'T SEE TODAY. TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. >> HERE IS THE BEAUTY OF JOHN MCCAIN, HE WAS A DISCIPLE OF DEMOCRACY. WHETHER YOU AGREED WITH HIM OR NOT, IT DIDN'T MATTER. IT WAS MORE ABOUT BEING A DISCIPLE OF, A SYSTEM THAT IS ACCESSIBLE TO PEOPLE. ARE THEY ABLE TO SHARE THEIR POLITICAL OPINIONS. BE VOCIFEROUSLY BOUND TO ARGUE THE GREAT DEBATE AND CONCEPTS OVERTIME. STAND UP AND SAY, THIS EXPERIMENT IS BEAUTIFUL. IT IS AN EXPERIMENT. HE TREATED IT LIKE A WHOLLY FAIRMOUNT. >> ONE THAT FAIL SOMETIMES. >> THAT'S TRUE BUT IT WAS A WHOLLY EXPERIMENT FOR HIM. IT WAS BEYOND AGREEMENT OR DISAGREEMENT. IT WAS ABOUT CIVILITY. IT WAS ABOUT THE GREAT DEBATE. HE LOVED TO DEBATE, EVERYONE HAS SEEN IT. IT WAS ABOUT THAT GREAT DEBATE. THE DIVERSITY OF PERSPECTIVE AND IDEAS, SOMEHOW THAT LEADS US TO SOLUTIONS, RIGHT? I THINK IN THE MARATHON OF LIFE HE LEFT AN INDELIBLE MARK. I AM PROUD TO HAVE BEEN A SMALL PART OF THAT. VERY
