It was immigration that Donald Trump was talking about on stage during the assassination attempt that left him bloodied and defiant – and it’s one of the fundamental issues currently dividing the United States, alongside the economy, abortion, and race.

Ahead of the presidential election in November, reporter Mark Willacy continues his journey across the country for a Four Corners special.

Already, the election campaign has seen some stunning turns, with President Joe Biden bowing out of the presidential race.

In Part 2, Four Corners explores the key issues in the battleground states, travelling to the frontline of the immigration crisis in Arizona’s wild southern desert where Trump wants to “stop the invasion” of migrants at the border with Mexico, as well as an abortion clinic which sees protestors gather almost daily.

Willacy visits Georgia, where political fractures have opened up in Black communities that were once a largely united voice, and he goes inside the Trump juggernaut — attending one of the former president’s rallies with fans who are steadfast in their belief that he will make America great again.

  • Abortion


  • 26:01
  • always be on the side of the Miracle of [Music]
  • Life we will not be bullied or silenced by those who seek to undermine
  • reproductive Freedom we know that the vast there's one issue that could really hurt
  • Donald Trump at this election and it affects millions of women a Gallup pole this year found 85%
  • of Americans are supporters of abortion that every person in our state has the
  • access to the care and in no state has it played out quite like it has in Arizona The Eyes Of The Nation are on
  • Arizona [Music] [Applause]

  • 27:03
  • we've been called murderers baby killers they've called us death scorts
  • before good morning welcome this is Arizona's busiest
  • abortion clinic and we've come here on a momentous day the Senate is about to decide
  • whether abortions will be available to all women in the state morning we're
  • here to walk you in Cindy Hans and her colleagues are known as
  • escorts they're volunteers who help protect women who've come to clinics here in Phoenix for abortions is this
  • your first visit here and I like your shirt very nice thank you so much you're very
  • welcome we provide a barrier between noise and ugly language from the street
  • from protesters just getting them in the building safely we're here to be a
  • barrier of unicorn and rainbows so so it is just if they would go away we would

  • 28:00
  • go away holy Mary Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death
  • amen you they are anti-abortion protesters who harass the escorts and
  • try to convince women who come to the clinics to rethink their decision to have an abortion Lyn has been doing it for more
  • than 50 years it's very divisive and in fact these esort I call them death cours I
  • know that a lot of them are satanists and they believe that every baby going
  • into that clinic is a sacrifice to Satan you know I think God has a purpose and a
  • plan for every human being he creates and I think it's murder but you know
  • these babies are being slaughtered it's a holocaust going on
  • basically just I'm Dr quama so the State of Arizona

  • 29:03
  • does require to wait 24 hours before I can hand you the first pill the first pill is the one that you drink here
  • inside the Camelback clinic in Suburban Phoenix atsuko koama is being run off his feet and do you feel like anyone's
  • forcing you to have do this perfect this Clinic performs between 3
  • and 4,000 abortions every year have you ever been at an abortion clinic before I have not you never had an abortion have
  • you ever been pregnant before okay so first this year the Arizona Supreme Court upheld an 1864 ban on
  • abortion allowing terminations only if a woman's life is in
  • danger there are no exceptions not even for rape or

  • ‘Women are not respected’

  • incest I think the 1864 ban is unethical it's 160 years old Ban that makes no
  • sense that's what I think is kind of sad too

  • 30:02
  • right is that women are not respected people with uteruses are not treated as equal
  • citizens and they need to continue to fight for the right to um bodily autonomy and to keep government outside
  • of the doctor patient room we just wanted to check any from
  • your surgery yesterday is now a good time Arizona's Civil War era abortion
  • ban became lore again because the United States Supreme Court overturned the Row versus Wade ruling that provided a
  • federal constitutional right to abortion what I did by killing roie Wade
  • which everyone said was impossible number one we got it sent back to the States and number two and very
  • importantly I gave you now the power to negotiate you had no power before in
  • your mind how big will abortion rights be as an issue both Arizona but nationally in that presidential election

  • 31:01
  • the abortion issue I believe is a winning issue I think the polls show
  • that the majority of Americans do support abortion as um something that we
  • believe that every person should have the right to
  • have system is now open all those in favor please vote I and oppos to vote nay Dr coyama is watching anxiously this
  • vote will decide if she can continue to perform a abortions you could raise your hands and wave them and as the head of
  • this body that they are seeking to raise awareness do you like yay thank you uh
  • so this in that and in their honor so you've won a battle but the war is still raging isn't it I am very scared about
  • November and the elections if there is another Trump presidency I do fear that
  • we will get even more of our rights rolled back

  • 32:01
  • [Music]
  • in 2020 Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump in Arizona by just 0.3% of the
  • vote once again it's expected to be a tight race in
  • [Music] November excuse this little clap noise
  • just don't catch my nose it gets in so many things and there's one veteran Republican in this state who knows what
  • it's like to deal with candidate Donald Trump get some water if I'm going to do a short
  • answer my name is Rusty Bowers and I'm the former speaker of the Arizona House
  • The 2020 election
  • of Representatives in the United States of
  • America Rusty Bowers was one of the most senior republ Republicans in the state so Donald Trump saw him as an ally he

  • 33:02
  • could use the president along with his attorney Rudy juliani called Bowers just
  • days after the election claiming it was stolen and then boom president comes on
  • he said well unfortunately we've got a lot of fraud all across the country and then Rudy says well we hope we've heard
  • that there's an Arcane law in Arizona that the legislature has has the
  • authority that if a legislative feels that there's doubt in the election that they can set aside the Biden electors
  • and send the Trump electors to Washington I said wait a minute wait a
  • minute I've never heard of that before that's a new one on me so is it clear in
  • your mind that President Trump basically wanted you to overturn the result in everything of course he did I mean he
  • wanted me to send him in

  • 34:01
  • a proud Conservative Republican with a deep Christian faith Rusty bows knew he
  • had only one option and I said Mr President I campaigned for you I walked
  • for you and I voted for you but I will do nothing illegal for you I will do
  • nothing illegal for you Rusty bers was praised for his
  • principal stand but there's only one trajectory for Republicans like him who stand up to
  • Donald Trump the former president supporters made sure Bow's career in the party and
  • in politics soon came to an end I paint with different media oil
  • paints and watercolors Rusty BS now spends much of his time painting Landscapes of his
  • beloved Arizona I've done a lot of things wrong my
  • life but I didn't do that one wrong and I think that all things
  • ‘I will do nothing illegal for you’

  • 35:06
  • considered we just do the same thing again I don't think we can count on that in the future people have been
  • tremendously uh intimidated people fear for their lives based on the Trump
  • supporters threatening people so we're in a very dicey uh point in American
  • history how vile were some of the threats that you go oh they kill me and kill my family my children would never
  • see a day of peace for the rest of their
  • lives Rusty Bowers isn't the only person whose life was threatened and career
  • destroyed as a result of Donald Trump's concerted attempts to overturn the 2020
  • election like Arizona Georgia in 2020 went down to the
  • wire once again it's another key Battleground state in this November's

  • 36:06
  • election lay down lay

  • Death threats

  • down I'm Richard Baron I was the director of elections in Folton County Georgia I served for nine years and I
  • was a target of Donald Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election
  • Fulton County is the most populous county in the state of
  • Georgia in 2020 Trump lost the state to Joe Biden by less than 12,000
  • votes so just like he did with Rusty Bowers the defeated president called Georgia's Secretary of State and
  • demanded he overturn the result so look all I want to do is this I just want to
  • find uh 7,780 votes which is one more than we

  • 37:03
  • have because we won the state Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani then
  • made false claims that CCTV footage of Richard Baron's election workers proved
  • they were engaged in fraud sparking a barrage of death
  • threats the threats that first started were coming into our
  • office both my voicemail and my emails were just flooded and then we got bomb
  • threat can you play me some of the threats that you received
  • sure time's running out Richard we're coming after you and every

  • brink and I really wish I'm wrong when it comes to what this country looks like in 20

  • ‘People think this country is close to civil war’
