During his attempt to overturn the 2020 election, Donald Trump pressured two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers to not certify the election’s results, according to phone recordings obtained by The Detroit News.
“We’ve got to fight for our country,” Trump told the Michigan canvassers on a Nov. 17, 2020 call that also included Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, according to the report. “We can’t let these people take our country away from us.”

Prosecutors in Arizona are “aggressively” ramping up their criminal probe into the 2020 fake electors plot aimed at keeping then-President Donald Trump in power. They’re not just looking at the fake electors, though. Rudy Giuliani is also now high on their list.

Former President Donald Trump called then-Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey to pressure him to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in the state, saying that if enough fraudulent votes were found it would negate Trump’s narrow loss, according to a new report from The Washington Post.
Sources told the Post that Trump also enlisted then-Vice President Mike Pence to call Ducey to encourage him to find evidence backing Trump’s false claims of election fraud. Pence reportedly called Ducey several times about the election, but did not heed Trump’s wishes to pressure the governor,...

Democratic candidate Katie Hobbs, who has vigorously defended abortion rights during her campaign, has defeated Republican Kari Lake, the Associated Press reports. Lake joins the overwhelming list of Maga wipeouts during the midterm elections.
Hobbs has defeated one of the most outspoken defenders of former President Donald Trump. Serving as Arizona’s Secretary of State, Hobbs has repeatedly rejected GOP lies about the election. Lake’s defeat follows the loss of two other high-profile election deniers — Republican Senate nominee Blake Masters and Secretary of State nominee Mark Finchem.

Kari Lake, the GOP nominee running for Arizona governor, said she wants to give women “true choices” when it comes to abortion — right before she pledged to uphold an abortion ban in the state.
“We need to draw the line somewhere,” the candidate said during an appearance on CBS’s Face the Nation.
“We’re not giving women choices,” Lake told host Major Garrett. “I’m for giving women true choices. And when they walk into an abortion center, they’re only given one choice. And they’re not told...

Whoopi Goldberg didn’t have any kind words for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday morning, after it was revealed that he used taxpayer money to send two planes full of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard. According to the host of “The View,” it was a “nasty” move made by a “bonehead” — and a hypocritical one at that.
The situation led the Hot Topics discussion on Thursday’s show, with Whoopi offering her thoughts before opening the question to the table. To start, she cited the Statue of Liberty.
“Call me crazy, but I remember the big tall green lady, you know, the one that’s over on the river, and she kind of said, ‘Send me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free,'” Whoopi recited. “‘The wretched refuse of your teeming shore send these the homeless, the tempest, toss to me.’ I thought that...

Arizona this week enacted the Arizona Motion Picture Production Program, an annual film and TV tax incentive that will offer qualified productions up to 75 million a year in 2023, 100 million in 2024, and 125 million in 2025 and thereafter.
House Bill 2156, which will run through 2043, passed the state’s legislature last month. Gov. Doug Ducey on Wednesday allowed the bill to become law without signing it.
The original language called for 150 million in annual incentives for feature films, episodic series or commercials in the state. That was reduced after the bill stalled in the state Senate.
Under the new structure, productions that spend up to 10 million can get 15 tax credit, with productions spending 10 million-35 million eligible for 17.5. For productions over 35 million, it’s 20. The law also calls for an additional 2.5 for a production company’s production labor costs related to positions held by Arizona residents.

Arizona has adopted a new tax credit for film and TV production, as the state aims to attract productions that have gone to New Mexico and other states in recent years.
Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican, allowed the legislation, Hb 2156, to become law without his signature on Wednesday. Ducey’s office declined to comment on the unusual maneuver.
The program will provide a refundable credit worth 15 to 20 of qualified production costs, plus additional bonuses for meeting certain criteria. The credit is designed to incentivize the construction of two large soundstage facilities in the Phoenix area.
“It’ll be good to put Arizona on the map again,” said state Rep. Mitzi Epstein, D-Tempe. “We have some beautiful places here that make stunning backdrops.”
The bill passed both houses of the Legislature last month with bipartisan support. But most of the opposition came from Republicans, including from House Speaker Rusty Bowers. During...

As expected, the 125 million tax credit intended to lure Hollywood film and TV productions to Arizona has become law in the state, having been passed by both houses of the state’s legislature.
The bill was not signed by Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, who nevertheless did not veto it. No reason was given for his lack of commitment one way or the other to the program.
The tax credit bill created the Arizona Motion Picture Production Program, which will cover 15–20 of production expenses, capping annually at 75 million to start but eventually rising to 125 million over three years. The tax credit will remain in effect until 2043, which backers hope will make Arizona competitive with neighboring New Mexico, a hotspot for film and TV production.

Arizona will hand out up to 125 million a year in tax breaks to Hollywood, joining the ranks of just a handful of states with nine-figure caps in their incentive programs.
Under a program that Gov. Doug Ducey allowed to become law Wednesday without his signature, productions that shoot in Arizona will be eligible for a refundable tax credit of 15 to 20 percent of expenses. The Arizona Motion Picture Production Program will start at 75 million in 2023 and grow to 125 million by 2025.
To qualify, producers must use an Arizona production facility or, if the project is primarily filmed on location, must mostly shoot and conduct pre- and postproduction in the state. The program features a tiered credit system: productions that spend less than 10 million will get a base tax credit of 15 percent, while those that spend more than 35 million will get 20 percent.

For years, Arizona has watched with envy as New Mexico developed a thriving film economy thanks to a generous tax break.
So now the state is getting in on the action.
Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican, is expected to sign a bill this week creating a refundable tax credit equal to 15-20 percent of production expenses. The credit will have annual cap rising from 75 million to 125 million over three years.
“This is a good thing for Arizona,” said Jennifer Londgon, a Democratic state representative from Phoenix. “We’re tired of all of this creative talent driving through Arizona to get to New Mexico.”
Across the state, industry stakeholders have been pushing lawmakers for years to create a film incentive to compete with other states. New Mexico was among the first states to introduce a credit in 2003, and has used it to lure TV shows like “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul.

President Donald Trump and his campaign have raised more than $170 million dollars from supporters since Election Day alone, CNN reported. But with Trump’s days in the White House winding slowly to an end, that money may fund more than just the campaign’s efforts, Trevor Noah joked on Tuesday.
During The Daily Show, its host explained that the supporter-raised finances may go to typical costs – legal funds, campaign costs…and Trump’s personal affairs?
“I see you Donald, I see you,” Noah slyly nodded to the president. “Here we were thinking you were just challenging the election results, shit, you were just hustlin’. ”
Noah criticized Trump for using his supporters to continue funding his various actions, even if his term’s coming to an end. While it may not be the most ethical thing to do, Noah said taking supporter money is certainly an ambitious one, quipping that “the...

Exclusive: There’s been some confusion this week about whether Unhinged, the Russell Crowe thriller that was recently pushed by its U.S. distributor Solstice Studios from July 10 to July 31 due to continued coronavirus disruption, would also be moving in the UK from its planned July 17 date.
I can clear that up now by confirming that Altitude, the film’s UK distributor, has today moved the title to July 31 to match up with the domestic release.
While it’s fairly standard practice for a UK distributor to move in line with a U.S. release, the question over Unhinged arose from the availability of cinemas.
In the U.S. the picture has become murkier with numerous states facing renewed lockdown procedures due to increasing Covid cases. Yesterday, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey re-closed movie theaters for at least a month, while Los Angeles and New York are among the major box...

Cineworld, the UK cinema chain that also owns U.S. exhibitor Regal Cinemas, has delayed its re-opening plans by three weeks due to continued coronavirus disruption.
The operator had been set to start re-opening theaters from July 10, but a number of important markets including Los Angeles and New York are yet to get the green light, so that date is moving provisionally to July 31.
The film slate has also shifted, with key titles Tenet and Mulan delaying to August 12 and August 21 respectively. Russell Crowe thriller Unhinged, which is being touted as the first major release post-lockdown, recently shifted to July 31.
Yesterday, AMC Theaters, the number one exhib in the U.S. (ahead of Regal), announced it was delaying plans to re-open its circuit until July 30.
This situation continues to be fluid. Parts of the U.S. are experiencing a surge in confirmed Covid cases and have been re-introducing lockdown measures.

Most movie theaters around the country closed in mid-March due to the pandemic. Ducey announced in May that theaters could reopen after the state’s stay-at-home order expired on May 15, but that people needed to continue to practice social distancing and follow CDC-recommended guidelines.

Still, experts are not convinced that limiting visitors will be effective in halting the spread of Covid-19 to facilities — and, if it does hit, they’re concerned that prisons may not be equipped to handle it.
