they said to senator graham as he just quoted statistics about hospitalizations in his own state. where do you think they got the idea it's a lie, right? that the vast majority of people in the hospital are unvaccinated and the hospitals are strained. well, came straight from the source. >> of course we now know that when they say the hospitals are being overwhelmed it's almost always a lie. with the exception of a few big city hospitals in the u.s. our hospital system was stretched for sure but it was never overwhelmed. and with the delta variant any hospitals that were stretched usually found themselves in that situation due to staffing shortages created by the stupid vaccine mandates. >> that's not true. i mean, i guess if you interpret like what the difference between stretched and overwhelmed is you could bend over backwards to try to make sense of it. but that's from exactly a week ago. of course what makes all this so deeply cynical, aggressively cynical, is that while rupert murdoch's fox news is the source of so much of this, they have been running one of the most destruc

i agree with lindsey graham. he's obviously embarrassed, you can tell by -- you know, he's in the box. >> sean: why should he be embarrassed? he didn't break his promise. >> i mean with fellow and republicans. it's just frustrating. >> sean: reince priebus, thank you sarah sanders. the old boss is waiting, so i'll have to say goodbye. it will follow your race very closely. joining us live on the phone for exclusive interview, the 45th president of the united states, donald trump. if you urge united states senators not to do what they promised what they wouldn't do t they threw a lifeline to chuck schumer. by the way, chuck schumer, elizabeth warren, yup, they're mocking mitch mcconnell and making fun of the republicans and laughing at them. he threw him a lifeline that they didn't have to throw. >> the republican senate needs to do leadership and i've been saying it for a long time. mitch isn't the guy, not the right guy, not doing the job. he gave us so much time to figure out what to do because they were in a b

tom graham, a london-based lawyer who made his fortune in cryptocurrency, recently started a company called metaphysic with none other than chris umeÉ, creator of deeptomcruise. their goal: develop software to allow anyone to create hollywood-caliber movies without lights, cameras, or even actors. >> graham: as the hardware scales and as the models become more efficient, we can scale up the size of that model to be an entire tom cruise; body, movement and everything. >> whitaker: well, talk about disruptive. i mean, are you going to put actors out of jobs? >> graham: i think it is a great thing if you're a well-known actor today because you may be able to let somebody collect data for you to create a version of yourself in the future where you could be acting in movies after you have deceased. or you could be the director, directing your younger self in a movie or something like that. >> whitaker: if you are wondering how all of this is legal, most deepfakes are considered protected free speech. attempts at legislation are all over the map. in new york, commercial use of a performer

david graham said if trump were to win fatherly in 2024 he would probably subvert the rule of law just as much as if he lost and tried to steal the election, but he'd do so from a place of greater legitimacy. joiningous now is meek al smerconish. which one should democrats be more worried about do you think, michael? >> both. first of all, donald trump needs to remain healthy, solvent. he also needs to remain unindicted. if he can do those three things, and if he wants to run for president, he can't be denied the republican nomination. a lot of different data, some of which harry just referenced, evidences that. i saw something tangible in the chuck grassley attended trump's rally at the state fairgrounds in des moines. that was really a sign. grassley had said very harsh things about president trump back in january. if he now feels the needs to be standing at ump did you's side, that let me know trump is still the guy, if he wants to be, for the nomination. the interim report of the senate judiciary committee i think evidenced the fact it was not just a bunch of knuckle heads who brok

lindsey graham telling me we had a plan and he threw the plan overboard. that rhetoric makes it clear that mcconnell did go out on a limb here. and democrats have their own infighting to deal with as they approach the president's agenda. you can guess over the next two months while they have this break with the debt ceiling, they will have to deal with the differences in their caucus. mcconnell knew that. that is part of the reason why maybe he was willing to help them out knowing the focus and the spotlight will return to democrats and their own issues and own ranks. >> look, say mitch mcconnell, whatever you will. but he knows that if a plan is terrible, you do throw it out, right. he does know that. lauren, thank you so much. >>> a group of four former trump aides defied the deadline overnight, choosing to ignore subpoenas from the committee investigating the january 6th attack on the capitol. trump has instructed them not to cooperate, indicating he will try to exert executive privilege. joining me now former republican congressman frances rooney. than

many republicans out there including senator lindsey graham and former president trump see this as caving to democrats when they had all the bargaining power here. it could just be politically advantageous for republicans extending the chaos for democrats. they are kicking the can to december 3 when democrats will have to face a debt crisis again and also by the way figure out how to keep the government funded as well. despite taking mcconnell's offer leader chuck schumer ticking off republicans on the senate floor. watch. >> senate republicans finally realized that their obstruction was not going to work. despite immense opposition from leader mccon else and members of his conference our caucus held together and we pulled our country back from the cliff's edge that republicans tried to push us over. >> that did not go over well. now the bill goes to the house for final passage but the drama does not end there. yesterday protestors confronting senator kyrsten sinema again. they couldn't seem to get her title straight. listen. >> can you talk to us? please today? congresswoman? >> senator.

lindsey graham said he made a wrong move. >> mcconnell said you have to do this on your own. that's what reconciliation is for. republicans, you have to cater to your base so people have to project some dismay with what mcconnell is doing. the truth is when you have the ceo of raytheon and nasdaq explaining how dire the situation is, mcconnell knows it would harm democrats more than republicans if we did hit that crucial crisis of hitting that fiscal cliff, it would be devastating to ordinary americans. right? effectively creating a constitutional crisis by forcing the treasury to decide who gets the funds allocated by congress which has the power of the purse. mcconnell knows this is a short term allowance. now denims are in a circular firing squad. he's not interrupting the enemy while they attack themselves. >> neil: it's important that you note that business groups got to mitch mcconnell saying that they might support what he's doing, leaving it on the democrats and if things went south or let's say the government shut down or got so close to that we looked at a default p

you think that's a game, lindsey graham? what's wrong with you? it's a game? no, you're playing with people's lives. >> mitch mcconnell tonight, you need to stop being a swamp creature and if you want to be a conservative leader you need to start acting like one and if you can't do that, you really do need to step aside. howie: joining us now, michael bloomberg, fox's chief cash-mike emanuel. this began with a raw move from mitch mcconnell. he's getting it from sean hannity and liberal pundits. don't the media punish anybody who agree to the slightest compromise,. >> this is kind of the environment right now, you're either in one camp or the other. if you come together, then that kind of defeats, i don't know, the narrative or the ongoing battle, the war of words and so, look, mitch mcconnell, my understanding is, was talking to financial people who said, you know, don't spook the markets. if so, you'll be blamed for it. howie: you don't have to wait for the day of the default. he did blink after president biden called him out in a speech. it's striking to me,

graham, on where busy defense analysts and research fellow at my young technological university. he says, north korea is trying to remind the world of his development program. i think we are looking at a convergence of considerations that have amounted to why, you know, young young had decided to do what have done. and, you know, executing this dismissal test. presumably, a submarine based launching to solve to, you know, to communicate if you will receive a rattling of various things in the least. of course, i mean, just looking at the capability development alone, i think the north koreans are trying to remind all of us that number one to serious about this number to the are pushing the envelope when it comes to developing essentially what will amount to 1st year nuclear power keep abilities. so i think that's something that has been rather disconcerting to all parties are, you know, impacted by the, the, are moving baby, baby steps if you will. not as far, relative to the development of other countries that have, you know, undertaken, their own nuclear programs. nevertheless,

ted cruz, lindsey graham openly questioning. do you see his power as waning? >> no. this speaks to what politics has deinvolved to. they were threatening to crash the economy, plunge this country into a depression almost without a doubt and for purely partisan reasons that have nothing to do with getting the budget under control. even if there were some kind of rational behind this. we are talking about approving money already spent. already allocated by republican-led majorities. they ran up the bill. to now act as if it is an acceptable partisan maneuver to default on it. it would have implications that goes far beyond the congress, beyond this decade. it would be a radical measure to urge them to do this because he didn't crash the economy or wreck the credibility of the united states. it shows us what kind of moment we are at. it is over why didn't you do the best thing that you could to make life miserable for democrats and, by the way, if it destroys the economy or credibility of the government, that's what radicals are attempting to do. they attempted not to g

deep misunderstanding of what patriotism is about, that you have people like -- you talk about lindsey graham going on the floor shaken saying he was done with donald trump and going out golfing saying there is no future within the republican party without donald trump. kevin mccarthy on the house floor saying donald trump shared a great responsibility to this and yelling to donald trump on the phone that it's his people pushing back and then about a week or so. going down to mar-a-lago to lick donald trump's boots. abandoning our constitution certainly. >> for sure. >> and the peaceful transition. >> we need to stop following donald trump and we should not have followed him in the first place at all and she too because of 2024 is doing everything she can to get back to donald trump's good graces. mika, this is not going to work and that's the thing that is so disturbing is that these people are lining up behind a guy who was cheering on rioters and cheering on people who actually, the people who are of constitutional conservatives. people who were doing very best committing seditions against

here from politico senate gop's budget point man lindsey graham wants to make democrats work hard to lift the debt limit but not so hard that it threatens the cataclysmic to faulty hopes to force democrats to pick a number for how high the borrowing limit should go a vote to set a specific dollar figure opens the door for republicans to launch attacks on democratic incumbents in next year's midterms robber what's in plain english is going on here senator graham is pretty close to mcconnell it's close to the business community or watching right now your microphone is back so please start again with the answer forgive me sure senator graham is close to senator mcconnell so you can often read what mcconnell is doing by watching senator graham where we're seeing now is mcconnell doesn't want to rupture the business community which is so important to the republican party they don't want to see a debt ceiling showdown but we are watching two veterans of the senate president biden and leader mcconnell really have a standoff over who is going to blink first on one hand president biden he's n

here with reaction senator lindsey graham. how convenient that you are headed to give an honest report of the american people, the yuma sector, and they cleaned everything out just before you got there. sounds a lot like when you, senator cruz and others went to see the biden cages in texas. >> let me tell you what i saw. the border patrol would like me to come down every week because they finally get someone to help them. the border patrol, men and women of the border patrol are being asked to do the impossible. american patriots say they deserve all of our appreciation and thanks but they have been abandoned by the biden administration. 5,000 people in the facility made for 500 until i came. when i got there there was still 1,000 per year between october of 2020 and october of this year, 2021, in the yuma sector alone there has been a 1300% increase in illegal crossings. in all of 202018 people were apprehended in the yuma sector. as of the week i went there, a couple days ago, 114,000 people in the yuma sector alone. what y

he is just smarter than ted cruz and lindsey graham. he didn't want republicans to take the blame on this. i think he thought he might losis had position on the the filibuster and manchin and sinema might vote for the filibuster if it came to default. i think he made a strategic move that saved us at least for a couple months now. >> yeah, at first blush you could come down on the side that it takes ted cruz and lindsey game to make mitch mcconnell look good. i agree with tim's analysis here. he's playing for december. he's playing for the next round. none of it pour tends well, though, for the country. democrats with a razor thin majority in the senate and in the house. how does one party run the country? >> nicole, i think one of the reasons where the republican leadership decided to have this vote and raise the debt limit at this point is because there are real significant national security consequences to default. >> yeah. >> i think they did not want to pay the political price of having owned a national security catastrophe. you sa

we had some remarkable speeches given by the likes of mitch mcconnell and lindsey graham on the floor of the senate, saying we've had enough. now, i don't know what happened to their momentary insanity, i mean, they reverted back to cowering, you know, cowards of donald trump's power within their party. but there for a few hours, there was unanimity in congress. it was important to get to the bottom of it. it was important for there to be consequences. mcconnell called out for criminal prosecution of donald trump. so this is not a moment for timidity. and frankly, the saddest thing about this, to me, is that this is not more of a bipartisan effort to get to the bottom of it. i find that incredibly depressing that people i served with are now hiding behind the skirts of donald trump. >> yeah, we've never seen that happen to a political party in the modern history of this country. robert, jeff rosen is behind closed doors for eight solid hours. i reckon we will someday get to read the transcript with any secrets blacked out. what do you reckon a guy like that can tell a committee like t

we have seen with the years since the gavin graham case, this was the case that planted the essentials by the aclu in which biological girl who'd begun medical transition wanted to use the boys bathroom in is consumed conservatives for years . they're were bathroom bills, that all failed, and the case was told eventually was decided in his favor. it was a massive law for the massive distraction because biological girls pose no threat to boys in the bathroom, but in that time, america lost a serie of battles on the gender war which put activists in the driver seat. gig at the of biological is the center of civilization, it's th center of the joy of most people 's lives, so if we allow this to be, everything changes forever. you wonder why there hasn't bee more organized sincere vigorous opposition to these changes. >> believe were going to see that very soon. i've been in touch since march when i testified against the equality act with the senator's office and i believe you will sponsor legislation very soon t stop schools from going behind parents backs in giving their kids knew gender

lindsey graham tried to convince people to think about, just to think about getting vaccinated. here it is. >> so the bottom line is i took the vaccine. i've had it. it kicks your butt. if you haven't had the vaccine, you ought to think about getting it -- >> no! >> no! >> i don't tell you to get it. you ought to think about it. >> no! >> no! >> i'm glad i got it. 92% of the people in the hospitals in south carolina are unvaccinated. >> oh my god. >> lies. >> i'm with you on -- >> lord jesus. >> i'm with you that it's probably unounce constitutional -- >> god help me. >> she's right. lord help me. [ laughter ] that is absolutely right. lord help me. is it any wonder why far too many people don't trust vaccines when they have been fed a steady diet of lies and misinformation from the very beginning? >> no. not getting that vaccine. no, no, no, no. them vaccines are not good hun. >> are you vaccinated? >> no, but i have a lot of hydroxychloroquine at my house. >> have you got your vaccine shot? >> no. >> why? >> they haven't tested it enough from my opinion. >> i don't trust the g

senators like lindsey graham, rand paul, these senators were incredibly disappointed this week that mcconnell blinked and decided to reach an agreement with schumer to suspend the debt ceiling until early december. mcconnell defended this. he said that he did this because he didn't want the nation to default on its debt, but he said he's not going to help democrats again. take a listen to what former president donald trump said last night about this. >> this bill is a sinister combination of job killing tax hikes and woke fascism that will destroy our nation and to think that we had 11 republicans go along with an extension. headed up by mitch mcconnell. can you believe. >> mitch mcconnell? >> not only are republicans having some infighting about what happened with the debt ceiling but democrats are squabbling because they cannot reach an agreement for a price tag for this economic bill that they're debating. bottom line here is, lots of squabbles and tension here on capitol hill. boris and laura? >> there's always plenty of tension on capitol hill. >> thank you for staying on top of it for u

it wasn't until he got a conviction and graham james was put into jail that people promise never again and this would be dealt with and sports would be made to be a safer space. i don't know what lessons have been learned but there's still work to do. for kyle beach, he had been living with this for 11 years. we didn't know on tuesday what the investigation report was going to show and, again, the blackhawks hired an independent law firm to look into these allegations. that report -- i was concerned there wasn't going to be a lot of detail there. i was surprised. i was speechless, actually, about how transparent the team actually was on tuesday. after that report came out, i contacted kyle's lawyer and i just said, i think this is the right time. you know, let's see if he'll come forward and be public and allow us to identify him. and he agreed to do that. as you just saw, we did the interview yesterday. >> you know, when i heard him say this destroyed me from inside, i mean, that just sits with you. it took such a toll on him, understandably, personally and professionally. he's still

lindsey graham, within the last ten days, at a country club i think in south carolina, same fate. you know, occurred with him. so they all want to play to the primary base. and they are convinced that if you push vaccination, it's going to harm you politically. >> and it's amazing because in these same states, you know, governor abbott, right, to go to school, there is all kinds of mandates and, you know, for vaccines of -- of many types. and -- and governor abbott doesn't stand in the way of that. i mean, i guess they are just betting that people are not going to care? or are not going to be smart enough to notice that and call out the hip ypocrisy? >> i don't think they are playing long ball. i think it's a -- it's a -- it's a short game that they are playing to appease primary voters and they'll worry about the general election later. look. i don't know if those primary challenges that governor abbott faces are for real. i don't know if they really imperil him but it seems to me he doesn't want to take any risks. and as long as ron desantis, over in florida, keeps doing what he

nicki haley and lindsey graham who said he was done with trump. done. not so much. he's now a golf partner with the former president and said he's key to the future of the republican party. the list goes on and on and certainly, there are congressmen, rank and file congressmen who have voiced support, who know better. senators, senators holley and cruz in particular cast their votes to have the election be decertified. saying they believe it was not improperly done. and this just shows that the command, the complete grip that donald trump has on the gop with just very, very few exceptions. and there is no sense whatsoever as the mid-terms are around the corner and even as we think a little about 2024. that's going to change. this is still his party and a litmus test. you need to be for the big lie if you're going to be a republican. >> so disgusting. mike pence thinks it was just a day in january? i hope democrats are ready to remind mike pence every single day. >> what we were subjected to that day was by something from a medieval battle. i could feel myself losing

brian: lindsey graham mentioned when he was getting screamed at in the airport president trump called him are you all right? he said don't worry about it i'm fine. on the plane ufc champion, it doesn't matter. what remember going to do beat up people and then challenged again. that's not the video out there. they had a two camera shoot into the bathroom while she is trying to teach. steve: here's the thing. if you see somebody on the street and you a approach them, that's completely okay. kyrsten sinema put out a statement that these activists actually broke into a locked university building and did this. brian: of course they are not allowed it in there. steve: the school building was locked down but somehow they got into it according to her statement. so, it's one thing to approach somebody, you know, that way. but given the fact that kyrsten sinema and joe manchin are such targets right now. if i were nancy pelosi and i were chuck schumer, i would say you know, we need to allow capitol police to provide protection to them during this time because right now. they don't have -- remem

so i'm a junior and my dad took bill graham so they didn't call me billy graham. >> all right. my mother wanted me to grow up and be billy graham. in virginia we spent a lot of time in a baptist church, if you know what i mean. welcome, butch graham. welcome to brigadier general tom tickner, nice to see you again. colonel steve murphy, glad you could join us today. the folks that are behind you and supporting team, we welcome all of you. thank you for joining us for what sadly has become an all too frequent issue over the past couple of years and that is providing emergency response in the aftermath of extreme, extreme weather. each of our witnesses comes from a different position with the corps, actually from different parts of the country, we were just talking about that. they're going to be able to share with us their points of view on the corps' response to hurricane ida as well as their thoughts on investments in infrastructure, on building back better, as our president likes to say. as we all know, since 1980, north atlantic hurricanes have become more intense and unfortu

general graham? >> ranking member and distinguished members, thank you for the opportunity to testify today. i am the deputy commanding general for civil and emergency at headquarters. i would like to offer sincere condolences to families who lost loved ones during hurricane ida. our prayers are with those who have been impacted. hurricane ida made landfall august 29 as a category 4 storm and immediately began to draw comparisons to katrina. following katrina and the devastating flooding in new orleans, the hurricane storm damage risk reduction system was built. as the name implies, it was built to reduce the risk of flooding caused by storms to the city. during ida, the system performed exactly as designed. the projects help to reduce flood risk of vulnerable communities but we must be prepared to respond when flood risks are realized. this aspect is achieved through our partnerships with fema, state and local governments and our key contracting partners. in response to ida, 760 employees, we snuck

these are people like to chris, lindsey graham angry that republicans -- like ted cruz, lindsey graham angry. marianna: republicans will not be there to raise the debt limit next time so democrats will have to go it alone even though they are saying they don't want to do that. they do think republicans are going to blink again. >> eamon, you are on this show because as soon as i heard about the debt limit i said where is he? what do you make of mitch mcconnell's decision, how much business leaders warning about the dangers play into that and how does this relate to people trying to survive in this economy? eamon: business aders were enormously influential, it is stupid and dangerous to go down this path because it could have enormous applications for the american economy. separating the politics of the debt ceiling in which both sides are trying to -- they want to put the onus on weather. congress votes to spend the money and then the treasury has to go and get that money, either from taxes or they have to borrow it. the way they borrow that money is by issuing treasury builds. investo

lindsey graham accused mcconnell of abandoning the gop strategy. on the left, joe manchin shook his head and put his head in his hands as majority leader chuck schumer scolded republicans on the senate floor, telling schumer that his remarks were "f"-ing stupid. he said more than "f"-ing, but this is daytime tv. manchin is demanding cuts from the $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill to 1.5. those aren't abstract numbers, every cut could be painful for democrats hoping to pass free day-care and child tax credits to take the burn off of working families. we'll dig into today's job numbers shortly. but listen to this from the associated press. last month's drop in labor participation was reflective entirely of women, suggesting that many working mothers are still caring for children at home. for men, labor participation was unchanged. even though schools reopen in september, some afterschool programs weren't yet in place to provide all day-care. and childcare has become scarcer and costlier in many cases. you read that and you're schumer, you might be wo

we've seen it happen to lindsey graham in an airport. we've seen it happen to mitt romney at a republican convention in utah. we've seen january 6th. so what i am saying to you is i agree. this is inappropriate. but when you put it in context with what we have seen, there was no threats. there was no offenses. there was no screaming. anderson, i've had worse. >> it's a little creepy, though, to have somebody -- it is creepy. i mean, look. i have had people show up to my home. you know, i have had all this stuff. it's creepy. someone standing outside the stall in the bathroom with a video camera and their friend's in the doorway saying, you know, we'll un-elect you and i mean it's just creepy. >> i agree with you. i think that's the borderline there. >> also, anderson, i think joe biden really missed an opportunity, right? presumably, these are -- the protestors are his supporters, right? people who are protesting on behalf of his agenda. he had a real opportunity to say not only that this was inappropriate, and definitely not to say this

there was a lot of denial, you know, this wasn't us, this was antifa, and that was inspired by franklin graham initially. and then there was a lot of violence not addressing it. and then i heard a lot of we don't condone violence but -- [laughter] and then, essentially, justifying it. you do what needs to be done. so, yeah, i think that the book would not need to be revised at all, however i would open up the next new preface with january 6th as a case study. >> thanks. i've got a question. one of the things that i noticed when i first read the book was you've read lots of books. [laughter] in writing this book. and there's just a wealth of information in the last 75 years. >> yeah. >> so i'm going to just drop -- i'm going to name drop here for a minute. >> go for it. >> you mention, or note the works of phyllis schlafly, elizabeth elliot, bill goddard, james dobson, kim and beverly la hay and john eldridge and others such as oliver north, mark driscoll, al moeller who were foundational in beginning and supporting the development of an image of masculinity as rugged and in some measure excusa

. >> sean: here are the reaction senator lindsey graham, south carolina senator, i don't know about you. we welcome the stiff competition and we are watching hypersonic missiles with nuclear capability fired around the globe and talking reunification with china and firing over taiwan airspace. joe doesn't think -- why should the chinese fear joe biden? i see no reason why they would. >> what does it matter. it is a fact that the chinese have developed a hypersonic missile that can deliver nuclear weapons. it's the military game changer. we allowed the chinese to leapfrog us and we are going to have to do one of two things. get them to stand down and i don't know how joe biden convinces anybody to stand down. if they don't stand down, we are going to have to develop the capability to neutralize this. when you have joe biden hit list broken border rampant inflation, you can now put on the list nuclear armed race with china. weakness breeds aggression and i want to add the senate leadership chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell to brief the entire body on whether or not the story is true. if t
