when he was lashing out into the late john mccain, a hero in his state, he brought his when in arizona saying he didn't lose because he criticized mccain and began talking about what an awful person he was, how he was a flip-flop or that nobody could rely on many people who agreed and rightfully so was one of the president's best lieutenants. most loyal, most in the weeds of getting donald trump reelected. he was ecstatic to describe to us that bill barr failed him in the end and got worried about media criticism and failed by not doing what he needed to do to investigate and prosecute the allegations of fraud that trump said existed and called nonsense. he finally gets to tell his version of the reality. even if it doesn't stack up with the truth, he gets to say it. >> a lot of the coverage in your book that you've gotten with glowing reviews and you've made news everywhere with this which also is an estimate to how much is there, the idea that a presidency that was reported on so exhaustively for four years and especially in the past year, you were able to get jaw dropping new inform

we already know from the arizona case that proven intentional discrimination with section 2 is going to be very difficult. >> right. >> and we need to have something in place just to stop a lot of the nonsense that we're seeing right now. we need to send a message to the next person that wants to be -- i won't name him on the show, but i think that you know that there are a couple of governors in the union that would like to follow in trump's foot steps that basically think the same way that he does. >> you may not want to name them, but they've named themselves. while we still have time, congressman, you said on the energy and commerce committee in the house, and we're watching the senate in this rare thursday saturday -- rare saturday session as it awaits the language in this infrastructure bill. i don't have to tell you that many lamakers and activists have lamented just how much energy these negotiations have required, but since we're here, what will this bill's passage mean for your district and for that matter, others like your district? >> yeah, no, absolutely. i live in fort

one example was in arizona, the phoenix fire chief complaint we've ordered millions of dollars of personal protective equipment that keeps getting hijacked before going to the city of phoenix. i wonder what steps fema is taking to prevent this kind of unpredictability from happening in the future and is there any investigation still going on about that or what can we do to take additional steps to make sure we don't have a bridge to nowhere? mr. currie: thanks for the question. that was one of our recommendations last year early in the pandemic. there's no doubt there was a ton of confusion early on between fema and the state and local governments about who was making decisions where federal supplies wound up and where they didn't. we heard lots of stories about supplies showing up they didn't ask for and supplies they asked for never showing up. one of our recommendations was fema needed to get a better handle on communication and coordination with the states on that prioritization. when we made that, they thought we were already doing that, but they have taken a number of steps to improv

lewis voting rights advancement act, and understanding that it is not just about texas but we see it in arizona, in georgia, in florida and in a number of other places. and also, people are encouraged perhaps by the daylight that there is with senator manchin and the possibility of a negotiation to create legislation that's workable and can get enough support to get passed. >> but you're right, it is an incredibly important story which is why we here at msnbc for the last four or five weeks have incessantly been covering it because it has a national domino effect as well. this rally in austin, it is coming as the texas democrats, as you know, left their state. they are trying to block restrictive voting measures, but republicans have certainly been hammering away at them for leaving, including during a congressional hearing this week. do you, julian, have any concerns of the optics of lawmakers fleeing texas? do you think it might dilute the concerns of voter suppression? >> i think the lines have been drawn very, very clearly. the legislators seem to have been doing a good job of informing the

what is happening in arizona where you're primarily based, is there a fear of covid cases, are you getting overwhelmed? >> well, definitely it's happening across the country and just to touch on rgv, griff, this is where the issue is. i'm hearing they have 10,000 bodies right now in the detention facility. 8,000 of those have still have not been processed and what happens there is you start removing agents from the line so they can take care of some of that processing. don't be surprised, we have seen it before, don't be surprised if they start shipping and putting individuals on planes and transferring them over to other sectors so they can get processed there and in turn get released in the other states. you know, that's always been the threat. we've always heard the rumors of that. griff: yeah. >> we have seen it before and it's going to get difficult. griff: so, art, that's extremely important and the numbers i saw in the last 24 hours which yourself you referenced and i am privy to, they want the information out. 9,901 deportable detainees in custody right now. explain why that is a r

this is good for arizona. a week ago, 84% of the state was in the highest two levels of drought. a few days ago when the new drought monitor came out, the number was down to 52% because of rain they've been able to get. the problem is it is not the only state in drought. 96% of the western states are in some level of drought. yes, adding rain into the mix is certainly going to be helpful. the reason we started to see a shift of moisture going from the southwest surging into the pacific northwest, they need it there, too, even if not much. most areas are about an inch or so of rain. remember, doesn't take much to be beneficial. even a half inch of rain, that's it, that's enough to stop spread of the ongoing wildfires. if they're able to get two inches or more, that's enough to extinguish fires. there's plenty of them, not just in washington, but oregon, idaho, montana. 83 active wildfires out there. yes, jessica, they could certainly need any rain at this point would be beneficial for a lot of the areas. >> sure looks like it. allison chinchar, thanks so much. >>> hi, everyone. th

monsoons bringing heavy rains to arizona. those rains have caused cascades of muddy water to gush down grand falls just northeast of flagstaff. tucson had 7 inches of rain this month making it the wettest july on record while the rain is needed it falls well short of alleviating the long term drought conditions across the state. there arizona's monsoon season lasts through september. i really wish we could just package up some of that water and bring it on over to us. we do have a bit of moisture in the air, though, this morning, dave sphar has got all the details for dave. hey, good morning to well, good morning, everybody. and the out of seasonal go to september 30th on there for them. however, you can still get some of that activity in october. remember being at a conference in tucson and 2010. >> and the thunder showers could be the airport. all of you know, we had to be grounded for a little while going on there. so the kind of moisture we have on the home front here. this is this damp cold moisture in place. here is the

parts of northern california and oregon, and the threat of lightning could spark more wildfires, and in arizona heavy rain and strong winds and hail could come crashing down triggering flash flood warnings. and in the northeast several tornadoes touched down. this pennsylvania town was hard hit by an ef-3 tornado with wind speeds up to 140 miles per hour. but much quieter this weekend across the northeast. eva. >> i think a lot are grateful for that. brittany, thank you for that. >>> now to millions of americans with their homes at risk. the moratorium on evictions is about to expire, and congress went on recess without passing an extension. abc's alex presha is on capitol hill with the latest. good morning to you, alex. >> reporter: good morning, eva. emotions here on capitol hill are still very raw, and even as the sun came up this morning, there was a group of lawmakers, including cori bush, who slept on the capitol steps as a sign of solidarity but the fact of the matter is right now there is not much known what if anything can be done about this eviction moratorium expiring. this morning,

using trump's big lie about the 2020 election to fuel sham audits like the one that just wrapped up in arizona. the "new york times" writes the department warned that auditors could face criminal and civil penalties if they destroy any records related to the election or intimidate voters in violation of the civil rights act of 1960 and other laws. and now we may potentially be one step closer to finally looking at the former president's ever-elusive tax returns. the department of justice says the treasury department must turn over six years worth of the ex-president's tax returns to the house ways and means committee. that committee has been seeking those documents for the past two years. so it has been a busy week for the justice department. my next guest is going to help break it down for us. with me now is katie benner, she covers the justice department for the "new york times." she was the first to get her hands on these explosive handwritten notes detailing the pressure that trump was putting on his department of justice as he tried to overturn the election results. good to see you again.

i just was in arizona. they have a similar mandate here and i was in arizona on tuesday when that cdc guidance changed and all these schools are saying and all these teachers are saying let our school do something different. don't make it a statewide blanket. where do you stand on this issue? >> that's exactly what we're asking the governor to do. we're asking the governor to allow school districts, if there is a need for masks in their district, in their campuses, then to allow them to do that and right now they don't have the ability to do that. >> do you understand the thinking behind that? some of these governors doing that, most in republican states, are saying they're against federal mandates, for example, during the vaccine, they're saying let us do what we want to do, but then they go and put on the same mandates here on school districts that also want to do what they want to do. do you understand the thinking behind that? >> no, i don't understand the thinking behind it because here in texas we lov

but arizona's kyrsten sinema has already signaled she has a problem with the price tag. how do we let it get this bad? >> i think a lot of it was politics. >> reporter: secretary of transportation, pete buttigieg, told michelle there's no time to waste. >> the roads and bridges, the ports and airports, so many elements of the transportation infrastructure in this country need work. we've been failing to invest for decades. it's catching up to us. >> reporter: now lawmakers say it's going to be a grind, but they're hoping they can have something some vote on in the next couple of days. overnight, the federal eviction moratorium expired. that was to help people who fell behind on their rent due to covid. house democrats just didn't have the votes to get it extended despite pleas from president biden. >> that's going to affect a lot of people. thank you very much. >>> the united nations is warning of a worsening humanitarian catastrophe in ethiopia. on friday, unicef said more than 100,000 children could face extreme starvation in the next year as a result of major fighting

>> i want to ask you specifically about senator from arizona, christyn cisin ema. some of them have drawn the ire of people in her own party. how does the white house successfully balance these two wings of the democratic party? here are some of the tweets for our viewers. >> basically it's carrots and sticks. i do think there is a role for president biden to keep reaching out to her to try to persuade her, as he has done with republicans on the infrastructure bill to go along with the party, but there's also pressure that can be mounted in the states against her in her home state. and i think it's a combination of the two that gets people to move. that's what happened with republicans on infrastructure. it wasn't simply that senator mcconnell played nice. it's the realization if he didn't go along, democrats might have gotten more with reconciliation. >> i want to ask you about the white house and covid. first, listen to this message from president biden given to a maskless crowd. >> over the past year we've lived through some of our darkest days. now i truly beli

i was in arizona this past week. what are you seeing? >> it's the same here in colorado. it's the same idea. those coming in are going to be unvaccinated, really ill, having to be put on a ventilator, and are eventually going to die. >> dr. sasson, you've been on the front lines not just in denver, but all across the country. given that, give us a gut check where we are right now in this pandemic. >> i think we're at a pivotal time where we have an opportunity to stem the tide. i read an op-ed a few days ago where we have to start thinking, look, we're on a pandemic plane ride. the tur lance is here and we have to put our seatbelts on for a while. that's what the dale ta variant is. we don't know what's coming yet. look. the data is changing. the science is coming out. our heads are all spinning as well too. again, if we're going to make sure what happen this winter doesn't happen again this fall especially when our schools are opening. we've got do something right now, and that's where we can make the biggest impact. >> you know, doctor, i love that reality. let's not ge

even though they are favored to do so they have a couple races, georgia and arizona in particular where she could help if she was popular. mark kelly will not be helped by kamala harris and neither is senator warnock in georgia. >> this is the kind of weird thing we have right now. you have president biden whose governing like he's bernie sanders but he's not bernie sanders. there is no enthusiasm for him and kamala harris equally uninteresting but if you govern like you are bernie sanders go for broke. president biden should get rid of kamala harris and go with aoc, somebody who is interesting and will take the hits for governing like a crazy socialist so you might as well get the good benefit of that if you are going to take the bad as well. >> who would be hot if kamala harris lets democrats down and they feel their numbers are bad who would be -- who is up next? >> that is the truth, if aoc and Élan omar and the squad that is in the news all the time, making the splash or the big democrats other than them? can't think of any attorney sanders will run again because why not, the same

comment try to put coercive pressure on vice president mike pence to reject electoral college votes from arizona, georgia and pennsylvania, to proclaim a power no vice president ever exercised and doesn't exist in the constitution. and mike pence refused to do it. do you know what? they trashed the place and they entered and wounded 140 police officers. now we have representatives from a major political party in texas representing african americans, mexican americans, white people, native americans, who are coming forward to say the voting rights are subjected to a gauntlet, an obstacle course. they say this is a up form of voter suppression. i was delighted to your my friend that it pained him -- to hear my friend that it pained him, mr. fallon, to hear about voter suppression inflicted on african-americans. but at some point apparently, it all ended and what you have come to washington to talk about is apparently just a figment of your imagination. so we can't trust the african-american community or hispanic community or native american community or voting rights lawyers about this. we are sup

one of the biggest cases i've ever covered at the supreme court was the state immigration law out of arizona their argument was with the feds aren't doing it so we are going to have to do it. the feds have said you don't have that authority. >> as we've seen from covid over 2020 in 2021, emergency orders give governors quite a bit of power. this is what courts are for. we are going to have to see what the court say in front of the judges to see who they will side with. right now the governor has a duty and responsibility to protect the people in the state of texas much like we do here in arizona. >> shannon: what's the situation in your county? we have heard at times local community say that they are overwhelmed and the people are showing up without being noticed the local authorities. charitable groups want to help these human beings who are in dire straits. if local authorities are involved and you don't know, it's hard to know exactly what's going on. >> we are all human beings. want to help them. we want to see these people be cared for. we also want to say follow the laws of the federal

they have a couple of races, georgia and arizona in particular where she could help and she was popular. mark kelly is not going to be helped by kamala harris and neither is senator warnock in georgia. >> this is the weird thing we have right now, joe biden is governing like he's bernie sanders but he's not bernie sanders, there is no enthusiasm for him. then you have kamala harris who is equally uninteresting or equally unenthusiastic but if you're going to govern like your bernie sanders, why not just go for broke? joe biden should get rid of kamala harris and go with aoc, go with somebody who is at least interesting. you're already going to take the hits for governing like a crazy socialist so you may as well get the good benefit of that if you're going to take all the bad as well. >> aoc, are you kidding? >> brian: if kamala harris lets democrats down and they feel like their numbers are two bad, who would be up next? >> that's the truth, aoc, ilhan omar, that whole squad in the news all the time, really making a splash. for the big democrats right now other than them was mike berni

sadly we lost to firefighters last month in a plane crash in arizona. and five are seriously injured last week battling the devils claim fire in montana. you governors know better than anybody, it is really, really dangerous work. it takes incredible bravery to do it. these heroes deserve to be paid and paid well, for their work. that is why last month, i was able to announce and it is not paying that well in my view to be honest, immediate action to make all federal firefighters taking at least $15 per hour. i think they deserve more than that. we are also working with congress to make sure our firefighters are paid better permanently. permanently. so far, fema has approved 25 management assistant grants totaling up to one had a million dollars to help states pay for the cost of fighting these fires. we are also working with fema and the defense logistical agency to get ahead of this emergency supply chain challenges. we still have supply chain challenges related to hoses and other things. we have tapped additional aircraft in the department of defense

glenn, in another part of the exchange, trump falsely claims that the elections in georgia, nevada, arizona and michigan were all corrupted. he accused the doj of failing to respond to legitimate complaints and reports of crimes and truly unbelievably to back all of that up, he tells them that, quote, you guys may not be following the internet the way i do. the internet. glenn, what would happen if the doj made decisions based on international rumors rather than evidence? >> well, they wouldn't win a lot of cases. because what we see on the internet rarely translates to admissible evidence in a court of law. and this shows, this is the deflection by donald trump. because when he's confronted with the evidence, out of the mouths of his own department of justice officials, people who he put in place, he chooses to disregard and say well the internet or maybe the tabloids or i heard somebody say somewhere, this is a very thinly, you know, very thin veneer of plausibility that donald trump is reaching for. but i'll tell you, i really can't overestimate the importance of the ability of prosecuto

aleve it, and see what's possible. >>> next tonight arc terrifying scene in arizona. authorities say one man was killed and five others injured, attacked by a massive swarm of bees. three firefighters among those hurt. one stung about 60 times. the bees coming from a 100-pound hive that was near a home. most of these bees have now been removed. >>> in banning, california, authorities are investigating a deadly plane crash. two people killed when this small plane went down near an airport. the plane crashing in a vacant lot and catching fire. no one on the ground was hurt thankfully. no word yet on that cause. >>> when we come back, massive mudslides trapping people overnight in their cars. we'll tell you about the rescue effort today. i'm a mother of four-- always busy. i was starting to feel a little foggy. just didn't feel like things were as sharp as i knew they once were. i heard about prevagen and then i started taking it about two years now. started noticing things a little sharper, a little clearer. i feel like it's kept me on my game. i'm able to remember thin

arizona took their ballots and did something they called an audit although it was not one, it ended with a whimper and not a bang. after all the noise and the drama, and an audit that could not change any outcome at this point, they did not find any evidence of the kind of fraud that trump was complaining about. 97 days spent on this. 400 machines. all of it costs $300 million to replace it. this was a moot audit. the process so bad that republicans working on it quit. one said the whole thing was botched and the republicans left claim they'll release an audit next month. the justice department is warning states that if they do these so-called audits the wrong way, they may break the law and have criminal exposure because you can't hand out voting machine is to just anybody. i always tell you new stuff happen and we'll bring it to you. president biden asked about what's going on now on his way to marine one. this is brand new images and of him discussing possible restrictions. >> more restrictions of covid? >> all probability. we had a good day yesterday. almost 1 million people got vacc

and city councils and nothing is happening at the local level, but we see it in georgia, texas and arizona. what are they supposed to do? >> it is complicated when local elected officials want to protect the citizens of their city or town, and yet they're in a state where they have -- are faced with a governor who is sending a completely different message from the cdc and the federal government which is why i think there has to be a kind of universal application of these rules because that would clear up at least some of the confusion about who's on first when it comes to declaring that people need to wear masks. i can see it in my own state in maryland where vaccination rates are very low and you know, looking around and people not wearing masks in a state where there's 70% vaccination rates. so this is very complicated, and i think for local elected officials they're trying to do the best that they can in an environment where there are no set rules for them. >> and sam, what about the white house? because the president was passionate in his speech yesterday, but it was late afternoon. i'

in the case against arizona, justice alito's opinion stated, one legitimate state interest is the prevention of fraud. fraud can affect the outcome of an election and fraudulent votes dilute the right of citizens to cast ballots. fraud can undermine public confidence in the fairness of elections and to perceive but -- with jenna of the outcome. he also noted that in merely implementing voting regulations such as roasted increase ballot integrity does not equal discrimination. that is what my democratic colleagues continue to misconstrue. unfortunately these election some version is part of their plan and continued push to nationalize our elections, creating the false narrative that states are passing racist laws to incorrectly justify the need for hr1 and s1 and hr4. it is false and offensive. our country has come along way since the passage of the voting rights act of 1965. i think that is important to recognize and remember the history behind the need for that legislation and celebrate the progress that we have made all while recognizing the ongoing importance of section two to ensure that

that say, you know what, we're going to just take over the counting of the voting in georgia, texas, arizona, maybe up in michigan, and all of these swing states republicans want to take over, fire election officials, and then determine who gets the electoral votes from those states. >> right. and it's sort of this radical act of eraser that is a marked regression that is reminiscent of, to me, jim crow. i'm not remotely the first person to be talking about this. but i think that we should all be frightened by that. because it's an active step back from our access to democracy, our access to the tools of suffrage that allow us to move america in the direction that is the will of the people. for example, the outcome of the 2020 election, and i think that this resistance to helping and allowing america to enact the laws that are the will of its people, is the danger inherent in those kind of choices is so stark. and i think that -- you know, i'm thinking about what happens if these bills don't pass. and i think that maybe we're just facing a moment when it's time to start marching across bridg

arizona senator kyrsten sinema, who was credited by the bipartisan group for bringing the deal together, angered some in her party when she said that the $3.5 trillion pricetag being floated for that larger reconciliation deal is too high. she doesn't support it. which ignited a strong response from house progressives. democratic representative alexandria ocasio-cortez tweeted "good luck tanking your own party's investment in child care, climate action, and infrastructure while presuming you'll survive a 3-vote house margin especially after choosing to exclude members of color from negotiations and calling that a bipartisan accomplishment.” pramila jayapal also let it be known she and her colleagues are not going to vote for the bipartisan deal unless their priorities are sufficiently funded in the reconciliation deal. joining us is washington congress qom pramila jayapal chairman of the progressive caucus, which will have a big role in deciding what kind of deal can pass the house. thank you for seeing you this evening. >> great to see you. >> let's talk about your hesitation about t

or the latinx vote is growing in a state like arizona. and so, all of this stuff is coinciding with the democratic shifts. demographics aren't destiny in terms of democrats winning elections. because they attract those voters if those voters do not have access to the ballot box those voters gave the democrats the majority in the senate and it would be a shame for those democrats are protect those ballots for the same committees. >> none of the voting rights bill that have been considered by the congress include any provisions about how the votes are counted, which is one of the new threats to voting rights and the new georgia law has, the texas law had it there and then they took it out. but there is this whole republican attempt to change what happens after votes are cast did. this is part of the new negotiation that the democrats are working on now. let's listen to what senator manchin said about that. let's listen to wh at senator manchin said about>> i've told e bottom line is that we should basically dedicate ourselves to a voting pi

if republicans had had that kind of power, political power in georgia, in other places, you know, arizona -- name your state, pennsylvania, these key battleground states, donald trump could have been successful in stealing this election. and a lot of these laws, most of them have provisions that would make that kind of change. and i think it's under the category now, lawrence, of they call it election subversion. that's what the new category of negotiation is all about, and i think it's ball game. i think republicans understand that if they control the counting rooms and the counting process, that is the way in which they can systematically undermine democracy in the most profound way. we saw it on display, the threat of it in 2020. i think if any bill that democrats take up in the senate or in the house or in congress over these coming months, if it doesn't address that issue, it misses the point. >> the for the people act was written last year. it was written before the election, long before we saw these new republican legislative proposals. and, zerlina, we see a report in the "atlanta

i was in arizona in april to visit the border there and to see what was going on and what had changed since joe biden came into office. the smuggling unit said that now human beings are worth more money to the cartel in terms of trafficking than drugs are. and so they are making upwards of $25 million a day to traffic these human beings into the country and then the biden administration is perfectly happy to finish the job by taking these people and putting them on buses without properly testing them or quarantining them and sending them to american communities all over the country. now, those people are making a choice to pay the cartels, right? there is this bigger question is why is the biden administration putting border patrol agents at risk of getting covid. ice agents at risk? local law enforcement at risk of getting covid and then, of course, they clearly don't care about american citizens getting covid from imlegal immigrants or be vaccinated. >> tammy: we have got to go. clearly great points all. now, up next, charles pay-to-play, one of your favorites is here. and he's on t

this comes on the heels of arizona senator kyrsten sinema announcing that she does not support that plan in its current form. this almost immediately infuriated many house progressives who signaled that they would not vote for the bipartisan infrastructure bill without a separate human infrastructure bill that meets the moment. new york congressman alexandria ocasio-cortez tweeted this warning to senator sinema.
