| 0:00.0 | Hey, welcome everybody to the Jim Acosta show. It is Wednesday, and apparently black smoke was seen rising from the Vatican conclave today as the Catholic Church has yet to select a new pope. |
| 0:11.2 | But we are still seeing the orange smoke coming out of the White House here in Washington, where it feels like Trump has to be smoking something. |
| 0:18.4 | Ladies and gentlemen, Trump on Truth Social said earlier today, he still |
| 0:21.9 | wants to do away with the Constitution and due process, saying this quote, our court system is not |
| 0:27.0 | letting me do the job I was elected to do. Activist judges must let the Trump administration |
| 0:31.6 | deport murderers and other criminals who have come into our country illegally without delay, he said. |
| 0:37.4 | I mean, my question |

| 1:10.1 | Tell us about it. |
| 1:11.5 | That's correct. My name is Deja Fox and I'm running in a special election out here in Arizona's 7th Congressional District. |
| 1:18.4 | We have 60-something days until our primary, July 15th. But if elected, I would be the first woman of my generation, Gen Z, in Congress. And I'm brought to this work, |
| 1:29.0 | you know, I'm 25, which was the final qualification to do this run. But I've been in this work for |
| 1:34.9 | a decade as an activist for better sex education, for birth control access, and abortion rights. |
| 1:41.8 | And so I'm not new to this work, but I am new to the electoral side, |
| 1:45.5 | and I intend to bring an activist spirit into this seat. Yeah, I want to talk about all these |
