a similar criminal investigation might be underway tonight in arizona. if only lifelong republican had decided to answer his phone. the arizona republican reports then president donald trump try to speak directly with the chair of the maricopa county board of supervisors in the weeks after the november 2020 election as his allies sought to change the election results in a state he narrowly lost to democrat joe biden. donald trump called lifelong republican clinic man twice, they're a white house operator. it's reported his phone rang 8:30 pm on new year's eve, while he was on a date with his wife and friends in north central phoenix. he didn't recognize the number of carrying washington d.c.'s area code and let me go to voice mail. hickman quickly listen to the message. white house switchboard wanted him to call back so he could talk to the president, he recalled in an interview with the arizona republic. hickman did not return the call and later deleted that voice mail, he said. three days later, news broke of trump's january 2nd phone call with georgia

arizona has done it. now pennsylvania, the republicans in pennsylvania legislature are pushing for an arizona style so-called 2020 election even though it's been tested and re-tested and re-litigated and the judges have all declared there was no problem in pennsylvania. what is pennsylvania going to do? >> to your point, andrea, here in philadelphia where i'm coming from and represent there has already been an audit in philadelphia twice, and don't take my word for it as a democratic congressman, the republican city commissioner, one of the commissioners in charge of our elections has verified that it was audited. furthermore, the entire vote count for philadelphia was actually live and streamed anywhere. the irony is, of course, that in 2020, donald trump had -- had slated better in philadelphia than he did four years prior, what really sunk him was the vote in the suburb switching so hard from red to blue. statewide in pennsylvania i am deeply concerned that we will no longer be in arizona and the key r

in arizona, wisconsin, in georgia it was recounted three times. it's clear. for those who challenge the results and question the integrity of the election, no other election has ever been held under such scrutiny and such high standards. the big lie is just that, a big lie. >> president biden also delivered a forceful appeal to congress to pass the john lewis voting rights act and hr-1, the for the people act, but also outlined measures that he's taking, that his office is undertaking in tandem, like a push to educate voters as well as a rebuke of the republicans at all levels of government leading the effort to strip mostly democratic, mostly minority voters of their access to the ballot box piece by piece. watch. >> we're going to face another test in 2022. a new wage of unprecedented voter suppression and raw and sustained election subversion. we have to prepare now. as i said time and again, no matter what, you can never stop the american people from voting. they will decide. and the power must always be in the people. that's why just like we did in 2020,

the supreme court has already reviewed the arizona case. and the arizona case they upheld arizona. the constitution says states make these decisions. not federal government. the case is pretty well settled. >> bret: all right, panel, when we come back, we will tap you for tomorrow's headlines. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ summer is a state of mind, you can visit anytime. savor your summer with lincoln. like you, my hands are everything to me. but i was diagnosed with dupuytren's contracture. and it got to the point where things i took for granted got tougher to do. thought surgery was my only option. turns out i was wrong. so when a hand specialist told me about nonsurgical treatments, it was a total game changer. like you, my hands have a lot more to do. learn more at factsonhand.com today. what's on the horizon? like you, my hands have a lot more to do. the answers lie beyond the roads we know. we recognize that energy demand is growing, and the world needs lower carbon solutions to keep up. at chevron, we're working to find new ways forward, like through our venture c

today, arizona republicans who are doing their so-called audit in arizona, they gave a briefing on their progress. only two republican senators were there, but they tried to call it a hearing. this was -- this audit that they're doing in arizona, they launched it in april. they said it would take three weeks. it's, of course, now mid-july, and they're still going strong. they made clear today that they're definitely finding all of the fraud they have been fantasizing about, but it's definitely going to take lots more investigation, lots more materials, probably lots more donations from trump supporters nationwide. it looks like they will subpoena more stuff from the county, maricopa county, where they got all these ballots from. the way they were talking about it today, it sounds like they think they have weeks to go, maybe months still to go. it's such a big complex investigation. there's no sign actually that there was anything wrong with the presidential vote in arizona. nothing. there's no sign that there was anything wrong with it. at all. and i'm saying that not just like, because

dead and you have the supreme court which just in its final week of its session upheld two laws in arizona about voting restrictions, how -- let me put it this way. does the biden white house have a plan as to how they're going to deal with this pullback on voting in the country? >> well, i think what you're going to start to see over the next couple weeks is a pivot from democrats in the white house to move away from the he focus on this big, sprawling piece of voting legislation that you're right is pretty much dead in the water on the hill right now and focus more on restoration of pieces of the voting rights act. that is difficult even though it is more narrow than the bigger piece of legislation and one of the things that democrats are keeping in mind as they try to push through that legislation is this is almost certainly going to end up back in the supreme court so they're trying to craft this legislation in a way that could address some of the concerns we've seen from some of the more conservative justices including in the arizona case that we got the ruling on a few weeks ago. thi

. >> recount continues in arizona, remarkable thing. pennsylvania trying to do something similar. texas legislature looking at everything that worked in last election and deciding to make it illegal. there are state leaders, civil rights leaders went to the white house to plead with the president and vice president for leadership on the federal level. appears on tuesday in philadelphia joe biden is going to say something about voting rights in america. what can he say, what can he do? >> he can do is say things. essentially all the power he has. that's exactly what those civil rights leaders said to him yesterday. wanted to hear him use his bully pulpit more than he has. tasked vice president kamala harris -- she asked to lead on voting rights, but when it comes to legislation, it's over and dead. that's what happened with not allowing debate, republican blocking debate on the for the people act, democracy reform. john lewis advancement act hasn't even really been written in the house or senate. so there's not a lot of legislative push. civil rights leaders spoke with him for hour

let's look at what's going on in arizona. a bill just was signed talking about critical race theory. it lets look at what's happening there. arizona governor signed a bill preventing local government -- governments from teaching local -- critical race theory. for him it's the state and any local government from inquiring -- forbids state and any local government from inquiring -- from requiring their employees to engage in orientation, training or therapy that suggests an employee is inherently racist, sexist or oppressive whether consciously or unconsciously. the measure comes as critical race theory becomes the latest flashpoint in the culture wars. the theory which is decades old examines the impact of racism on history and maintains that racism is systemic. republicans have used the term critical race theory as a catchall for teaching racism with some panning the bill as discriminatory. let's go back and talk to darrell who is going to jackson tennessee. garo -- darrell, good morning. caller: good morning. the problem is

and in philadelphia and pennsylvania, you end one the same situation you in arizona. one drew president trump's ire when he said things like this. >> there have been all these allegations of massive or widespread voter fraud. and if that's the case, they should at least be able to site a single case of it in any of the state and federal lawsuits filed in pennsylvania. and as of yet, there have been none. >> none. not a single case of it. the pennsylvania circus that we're seeing right now is coming on the heels of that audit in arizona. the audit run by a company that calls itself cyber ninjas. the board of supervisors has condemned the audit, and i want to note four of the five members of that board are republican. the board writing, it's time to end this, for the good of the senate, for the good of the country, and for the good of the democratic institutions that define us as americans. these lies about the election integrity, these audits are dangerous. because some people believe them. trump supporters believe they will lead to trump being reinstated. >> are you d
