lindsey graham, kevin mccarthy. there were a lot of very strongly worded statements that day, very strongly worded statements directly to the president by some of those lawmakers that day as we understand it. and, yes, the positions that they've taken since then are wholly different than everything we understand about that day, of course. in fact, the pentagon -- you know, that the capitol was being overrun, that these lawmakers were in some cases fearing for their lives. and, you know, we've kind of took a little bit different turn in this story where we look more at the 187 minutes in between when the capitol was breached and when trump said anything to call off the supporters of his that were raiding the capitol. and so many things happened in those couple hours. people died. people had heart attacks. you know, there was obviously the ashli babbitt shooting. there was just numerous tragedies in the course of those hours when he was doing nothing. >> one of the things i picked up on in the story is there seems to

graham said, quote, i don't understand why we are folding here. for two months republicans have been saying democrats want to spend $3.5 trillion without any republican input. if they're going to do that, they need to raise the debt ceiling on their own. this is just a mistake. graham also called senator mcconnell let's move a complete capitulation. >> we made a promise for two months that we would make them do it without our help, and we folded, and i hate that. we're in a hole. we've got to dig out of this hole and we can. we shot ourselves in the foot tonight, but we'll revisit this issue in december. >> senator ted cruz of texas appeared on the senate floor last night to say the deal mcconnell struck with democrats was a mistake. >> i believe democratic leader schumer was on the verge of surrendering, and then unfortunately yesterday republicans blinked. i think that was a mistake. i understand why republican leadership blinked. i wish they hadn't. i wish they hadn't because i believe we were on the verge of victory. chuck schumer won this gam

. >> senator lindsey graham who you saw on the video is no str stranger to the behavior. remember what happened at the airport when graham dared to criticize trump for his role in the insurrection. >> you are a traitor of the country! do you know it was rigged? you know it was rigged! can't be like this forever wherever you go. >> january 6th is another perfect example of the bullies facing new consequences for their actions. many of the rioters are getting off despite evidence of an attempted coup. even mike pence who was chased around the capitol is brushing off what happened that day. >> i know the media wants to distract from the biden administration's failed agenda by focusing on one day in january. they want to use that one day to try and demean the character and intentions of 74 million americans. >> tell me it's a cult without saying it's a cult. it's almost like we are playing trump cult bingo. >> who won the election in arizona? donald trump. >> we don't know. >> we don't know. we don't know who won. i have that on my bingo card. for the most part, republicans h

. >> there is a brief pause at the bar graham airbase to decide whether or not they should proceed. obviously they did. is it your opinion in late june with those conditions in afghanistan the closure about graham air force base quick. >> it was general miller's recommendation and my recollection is the president of course instructed the department to leave afghanistan there is no server on —- scenario we would leave and that residual where the concentration of the few hundred forces beyond august would have been concentrated. >> and 2011 you stated the following despite the often narrative the underlying security situation remain strong. fortunately not long after that statement and then that rampage against syria and iraq and that is what necessary did a counterterrorist operation you cannot perceive the unraveling of iraq are there any others about to cause national security debacle? >> i don't know i think we are focused on the counterterrorism front on somalia we continue to have to be vigilant in iraq and syria and yemen and as we talk in this hearing in afghanistan and even

well, 92% of the people in hospitals in south carolina are unvaccinated. >> graham who was vaccinated and suffered a breakthrough virus in the summer credited the vaccine. and he talked to the crowd adding that republicans had to take back congress to stop it. a deeply depressing scene. >> the crisis is going more dire in alaska. the delta variant is feeling the current new surge in cases which has far outpaced last year's peak. alison roberts has the latest from anchorage. >> reporter: across the country, covid and hospitalizations are dropping, but in alaska, a very different story. through much of the pandemic, the health officials say the state's geography was an advantage. it kept cases relatively low. but now alaska is surging. the hospitals are overwhelmed the unique geography is working against. >> traveling hundreds of miles apart. to get them supplies and resources anything from testing to oxygen can be a huge logist achal barrier. >> reporter: over the last two weeks, alaska has seen the highest rise in covid cases in the country. covid deaths spiked 114%. >> all of the cas

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 republicans. it's just frustrating. >> sean: reince priebus, thank you sarah sanders. the old boss is waiting, so i'll have to say goodbye. we will follow your race very closely. joining us live on the phone for exclusive interview, the 45th president of the united states, donald j. trump. mr. president, you urged united states senators not to do what they promised what they wouldn't do but theyt 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. t he threw him a lifeline that they didn't have to throw. >> mr. trump: the republican senate needs to do leadershipow 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 l figure out wha

and found documents that rudy giuliani had sent to lindsey graham a now-famous memo that john eastman -- the lawyer working for trump in the white house -- sent which was really just a -- a battle plan for a coup. and two of the most trump-supporting republicans in the party investigated, independently, lindsey graham did. senator mike lee of utah. and they discovered there is absolutely zero there. so, you know, we're -- we're just going to have to find more evidence to what happened. what -- what costa and i did -- we realized we had to look at this. and it's the first proof, i think, that's out there that it's a totally bogus claim and it's made by trump supporters. >> so i want to understand, though. because when you bring up nixon, right, and obviously you -- and carl bernstein, you know, exposed his role in watergate. and at first, republicans stood by him, right? and then, they turned. what i find fascinating about this situation, bob, is that at first -- now, i'm not talking about over the past four years. let's just take it right after the insurrection. right after the insurr

on january 7th, people like lindsey graham, mitch mcconnell, all speaking out saying this it gone too far. that the big lie and gone too far. that we need to start to move forward. trumpet done some good things, blah, blah, blah. but overall, they were upset, for good reason, over the fact that our capital was sieged by trump supporters that he incited. as he sat there. now today, nine months later. you cannot run for national office as a republican, without essentially taking the position that what happened on january 6th was either good, or antifa falsehood. josh mandel in ohio is in today saying that he thinks we should have an 11 three commission, not a one six commission. to look into all the imaginary fraud, that he is pretending he things happened. because that's what the voters want of him. you name in via the party -- what you have is really a pro insurrection party, it's true across the board. it's true all the way down to local offices. i think steve's observation on that is right. >> eugene let me show you a piece of video, perhaps you birdie cnet. this is lindsey graham,

let's turn to our guest, assistant to the vice president at samaritan's purse, edward graham, another relief organization active in haiti. edward, welcome. >> mike, thanks for having us. mike: what are the challenges of serving in a place like haiti? >> it's a great question. i was just there recently, in september, following our hospital that we deployed to haiti and the earthquake. and we had to have security there. there's so much turmoil going on in this country -- in haiti. there's missionary groups, a lot of them trying to work there, but they don't have the security apparatus. fortunately, we're blessed to have a haitian security detail along with americans down there serving who advise us, and we have to limit where we can work and what times. but there's gangs everywhere, and they've gotten out of control. i saw that firsthand when i was down there and observed. we want to share the hope of just christ with then -- jesus christ, but these gangs are making it very difficult for aid workers. and that's who they're attacking, the aid workers, doctors that go down there. as you m

lindsey graham yelled at the senate sergeant at arms at one point, what are you doing? take back the senate. you've got guns. use them. the south carolina was adamant according to "the post." we give you guns for a reason, he repeated. use them. then after all that, he's allied with trump again. how do you explain that, and did you think they should have used those guns that day? >> lindsey graham is a hypocrite, a liar and a coward all wrapped into one human being. you know, he was a person that was actually part of the problem leading up to the election, taking part in all the conspiracy theories, saying that the election could have possibly been stolen. so he is part of the problem, and a lot of these other politicians that, you know, hide behind the capitol police and hid behind capitol police on january 6th and afterwards turned on them are part of the problem and are going to continue being part of the problem. it extends out to everything else. the fact we still see some of these former trump, you know, white house officials on tv as if they didn't participate in

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
