and successfully recruit hispanics, not the republican party reach out to republicans, but the republican party reaching out to hispanics had to do with the more compassionate approach on immigration. i think a moment we are at right now is having that idea kind of turned upside down and someone like donald trump, who no one with thought would be the second coming of george w. bush with latinos increased his share of latino support with restriction nest immigration policies. and that something that i think the mcgrath and republicans really need to wrestle with over the next coming months and years. host: so when you hear stories say the biden administration holding onto some of the remaining mexico policy of the trumpet ministration, what does that mean potentially for supporters -- policy of the trump administration, what does that mean? guest: at the moment, i think there has been fear of immigration in part because of the pen -- because of pandemic, in part because of climate change which is and will continue to lead many people to try to seek a better circumstance, often in the unite

republicans win everywhere. and it's got this really weird stuff about how it is china who really ran the election except when we say china, kind of what we mean has been [inaudible] . even though those are very far apart on the globe. it's the same. the powerpoint has an inside picture of the brother of the vice president of venezuela. it describes him as the likely mastermind of the whole election plot. that said it also says that china is the mastermind of the election plot. it least, that's what i think that this means. quote, china has leverage. venezuela, as well. china uses venezuela like a fork. so it's venezuela who is the mastermind, but he is just a tool being used by china. again, this is something that is reportedly briefed to republican members of congress that they before january six. it says that on january 6th, vice president mike pence should just seat republican electors over the objections of democrats. just seek republican electors in all the states where fraud occurred. meaning, declare tha

only two republicans actually censored your fellow republican, mr gosar, for that. you were not one of those two. why not? well, because i think what we need to deal with in congress is a whole different situation. they're taking paul's committee assignments away from him, and i think that's inappropriate. we had a number of anti—semitic remarks from members on the left who did not lose their committee assignments, and i think that the hypocrisy of treating one member differently than others is great narrative for the speaker. but, you see, it comes to political culture, mr buck. donald trump, who is the most powerful person in your party, claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him, which is plainly a lie. he claims that the real insurrection was actually the election result, rather than the assault on congress, which we saw onjanuary 6th, and he's called the people who launched that assault "lovely people." where do you, as a republican, stand on that? are you with mr trump who is now indulging in his big lie? or are you defending democracy? i have said th

in wisconsin republicans there approached it in a way that is more unsettling. what we're seeing here, this is factor actual electors meeting in wisconsin in december 14th of last year. they're casting their votes in the electoral college. wisconsin has ten electoral votes, biden and harris won the vote in wisconsin, so these are ten biden/harris electors meeting officially to cast their electoral college votes. wisconsin governor tony evers was there. he was actually one of the electors. they met in this big fancy ceremonial room. there was applause when they were done. governor evers said we made it, today we did our part to continue the long and sacred tradition of our democracy honoring the will of the people. that was the real process. at the wisconsin state capitol that day. those were the real electors really casting their real votes for the electoral college that day, 12:00 noon, december 14th, wisconsin state capitol, madison, wisconsin. good, all good, the way it is supposed to go. but later that afternoon, "the milwaukee journal sentinel" was first to

and in wisconsin, and in texas, anywhere republicans have control, we're seeing republicans try to jail elections officials and county clerks. or at least to threaten them with that. dana debeauvoir, quote, it was intended to be intimidating, and try as i might, some of that was successful. she's spent 35 years running elections in travis county, texas. she is retiring next month on her birthday, the day she turns 68. she says she's retiring for personal reasons, not because the republican attorney general of texas has spent months this year trying to put her in jail and all the stress and financial strain that that entailed. but honestly, it seems like that was what intended, and honestly it couldn't have helped. joining us is dana debeauvoir, travis county's elections chief. thank you for your service to travis county, and thanks for making time tonight. we really appreciate your time. >> good evening. my pleasure. >> so let me just ask you, you've said that ken paxton's attempt at trying to get you indicted was intended to be intimidating and some of that was successful. i wonder if

republican as ohio is is not a super majority republican state. that is what some of the fights are about. >> we are going to come back with charts, graphs, and more mathematical equations for our sequel of this. in the meantime these mark your calendar where our guest will unpack the impact of the mighty spanish electorate. that will be on tuesday, october 5. thank you, everybody, for dissipating -- participating. >> i want to think everyone on the panel. it was intellectually stimulating, it was provocative, stimulating even though we have areas of disagreem

if that happens, that will mean any senior republican, anybody who is the top republican on a committee right now or who used to be a committee chair, the last time republicans were in charge, all top republicans, all leading republicans, are gearing up to take back over and wield power again. under the assumption that they are going to do well in next year's election. particularly being a committee chair, if you are in line for that sort of thing, committee chairs, it's a boring couple of words. but they run the show on capitol hill. they kind of run the legislative branch. so, the republicans who are potentially in line for those leadership jobs, the republicans take control again, they are really stoked right now. they are making their promises, they are raising money, they are planning their staff higher, they are doing all the horse training they need to do among themselves, to maximize the power. they think that they are about to get. it's a really have been to. if you are expecting to your party to take back control, and you are trying to do the thing the powerbrokers are doing o

and i heard with my colleague on the republican side -- what my colleague on the republican side said but i want to assure everyone that what we're talking about here is making sure our seniors can access a doctor. that there are doctors available to help them during the covid-19 pandemic. since the beginning of the pandemic, congress has provided relief to medicare providers by waiving a 2% cut in payments created as part of sequestration. this legislation will continue waiving those cuts. it also protects medicare and other federal programs by preventing any cuts from occurring as a result of pay-go results. the legislation provides additional relief to health care providers by increasing payments under medicare's physician fee schedule next year and increasing reimbursements for lab and oncology services. we have to understand that provide verse to keep their doors open. labs have to be open. during this difficult time when providers are being stretched to the limit, labs, oncology service, everything is being stretched to the limb if congress does not take action now and pass this

the republicans were able to bury her story. and just to show one thing, there are two people so debbie rimer's story did not come up until after the week of kristine ford. the republicans were ramming this through so fast it was remarkable. they were able to keep a lid on it so it did not suggest a pattern of behavior on his part. one of the reasons the third allegation came up from girl name julie was credible. i am not sure. [inaudible] i am not sure that was credible. there may have been truth there but the republicans conflated her story which was credible with the other two women who were credible. there were two yale classmates, guys who did not even know who she was. who would come to the fbi and the senate judiciary committee in july of 2018. right after he was nominated. i'm told the story they had heard about in real time that brick kavanaugh had exposed himself to one of their classmates. they did not know who she was they described it there had been a deal so wade and jim around in real in this woman's face they cou

we lost a seat in 2012, but leading up to that, we had republican, state senate, statehouse, republican governor, as well as supreme court and we lost the seat then as well. my district is like a straight square. southwest michigan. border indiana to the south. illinois to the west. it's what we call and r-2 district. it's a diverse. diversity is our strength. we lose a seat and we have now a panel that's doing this. a nonelected panel. and i think if they had been even sixth grade class president that would have disqualified them from participating. virtually no political experience at all. clearly they don't. that's my own editorial comment. at the end of the day we don't know what the districts will look like. there is a good chance that my home county will get split up. it will go from lake michigan to lake erie. 200 miles long and 20 miles wide. who knows. i'm not moving. i got a lot of family. we do well. we'll decide once we know what the district looks like. what the environment is. i am not afraid to vote my conscience on issues. frankly, i wish we had a little bit more of that

why cannot democrats and republicans get along and -- it along? guest: this is the mystery of the ages. a lot of it comes down to money. the inversion of in politics is the art money rates for campaigns and causes, the more powerful you will be. right now, the thing raising a lot of money is emed icing the other side. -- demonizing the other side. the aftermath of bob dole, this was an inherently decent man. this was a artisan man, no bones about him being a republican leader, but he also knew when to form alliances with democrats in a way that was good for the public. there are still people like dole left in congress, but they are outnumbered by loud, poisonous voices looking to demonize others. in terms of people like hillary clinton and nancy pelosi, the simplest answer is they are effective. when you are effective, you attract enemies. host: rod, new york, independent. caller: following along with what you just said, i was a casual observer of c-span, the new york times, twitter. i am lost in feeling where it will history place this current ba

-8001, republicans. democrats, 202-748-8000. independents, 202-748-8002. tell me about the forward comment -- forward party and the elections of 2022. how are you going to be involved? guest: 2020 two is one of the best opportunities to turn our democracy around. we will be supporting candidates that champion nonpartisan open primaries and want to give voters a real choice at the local level and congressional level. and we are going to be backing ballot initiatives and democracy reform measures around the country for this group of patriots who know that the close party primaries is the reason so many of us feel like our democracy will fail and it will if we do not make significant changes. that is what 2022 is about. we need to make it a winning option for politicians and politicians respond to incentives which is why we are stuck. if we give them a different sense -- set of incentives and the forward party is raising a movement of thousands of graduate volunteers around the country who will make this a

republican. caller: hi. i am a registered republican but i'm changing my mind. but story is one i just heard on democracy now and it has to do with julian aage. aage. i guess the british government is guaranteeing if he's extradited here he won't be in a severe tight prison-type situation like solitary or something like that. i don't have all the facts on it, but i thought it was a very interesting story. i wondered if you might know something more about it. host: i don't, annie. previous caller brought that up as well. you're watching live coverage today. the departure of senator bob dole. his last time leaving the u.s. capitol. the senator died on sunday at the age of 98. i think i see the democratic leader there, chuck schumer, in line behind those that will say goodbye to the senator. along with the speakers of the house, minority leader mccarthy as well, all lining up to say their last goodbye to the senator. leave the capital and he will go to the national cathedral. his remains will then along with his family make the last trip home to kansas. let's watch

-8001, republicans. democrats, 202-748-8000. independents, 202-748-8002. tell me about the forward comment -- forward party and the elections of 2022. how are you going to be involved? guest: 2020 two is one of the best opportunities to turn our democracy around. we will be supporting candidates that champion nonpartisan open primaries and want to give voters a real choice at the local level and congressional level. and we are going to be backing ballot initiatives and democracy reform measures around the country for this group of patriots who know that the close party primaries is the reason so many of us feel like our democracy will fail and it will if we do not make significant changes. that is what 2022 is about. we need to make it a winning option for politicians and politicians respond to incentives which is why we are stuck. if we give them a different sense -- set of incentives and the forward party is raising a movement of thousands of graduate volunteers around the country who will make this a

five democrat, five republican. let them sort this out. this allegation -- this issue of boebert is one where she didn't make a death threat. was a bad joke. islamophobic. greene and gosart said things much more incendiary and they dealt with that appropriately. at this moment, i think that she's got to be starting to think about retaliation. she's probably concerned not all her members think this is a good idea to vote on this right now. get it to the ethics committee. let them make a recommendation. you don't have to bring these right to the floor. go through a process and sort out how you deal with this and other types of incendiary comments. >> there's this other thing with boebert. she's in a back and worth with alexandria ocasio-cortez. boebert, her family photo shows her four sons 8 to 15 holding a gun. this is in response to a different christmas card image that massey put out holding guns. just a couple of days after the horrible shooting in michigan. so aoc responded, tell me again where christ said, quote, use the commemoration

as well so the lesson for republicans is obvious. trump's policies worked. there is no going back to the old perpetual war, open borders, globalist views of yesteryear. soon they should if they are smart until a new 21st-century contract with america. cut taxes, revive the oil and gas industry through exploration, shake up education, advance small businesses, reinvigorate american manufacturing. it is all a winning strategy and any republican who goes down the path of liz cheney just be joining the democrats in their thelma and louise ending. and that is the angle. there is biden. joining me as ari fleischer, former white house press secretary, fox news contributor, lisa. host of the truth with lisa booth and fox news contributor stephen miller, former senior advisor to trump and america first legal founder. the democrats keep acting like this is a messaging problem but what is at the root of this plummeting series of polls for biden, kamala, and the rest? >> president biden is in over his head. every one of the major issues of conse

republicans haven't seemed to fully appraised the idea -- embraced the idea, but city 2% of republican women -- 62% of republican women believe it should be included. do you think that republicans should -- rep. salazar: i don't have any problems if it's a standalone belt. my problem -- standalone bill. my problem is to get dollars into the economy. when you're talking about paid leave, you're not just talking about one line or three lines. what else is there? i don't want to help on one end and harm you in 10 other points. so if it's a standalone bill, absolutely. but you know the problem right now, for virginians and the rest of the women in the united states is how much do they have to pay for gas, for clothing, for food, and for shoes for their kids? and that's going up. and this reconciliation, whatever you want to call it, is going to just give a lot more money, to this economy going to fuel inflation, which is actually the opposite. and then on top of that, most of my constituents do not have, they're not millionaires. very upset with this provision, next to the family paid leav

republican to vote in favor. the bill was approved by the senate and sent to president biden for his signature. without congressional action, funding would have expired friday at midnight. next on c-span, a house floor debate on the continuing resolution. . delauro: madam speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on the measure under consideration. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. ms. delauro: madam speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized. ms. delauro: madam speaker, before i go any further, i would first like to take a moment to mourn the loss of congresswoman kerry meek. she was an extraordinary force in the congress, a pioneer that was not deterred by any challenge that came her way. i'd like to say though she was unassuming and soft-spoken, she carried a big stick. that is evident in her enduring legacy today. i had the honor of

to republicans. you see them running for low-level offices where they might be able to discard ballots. what they're doing as they do this is they're claiming, falsely, obviously, that donald trump won the 2020 election. and they're sort of laying the groundwork for doing something like this in the future. >> david, 60% -- you've seen the polling data. 60% of republicans believe the election was stolen. i don't believe the election was stolen. you don't believe the election was stolen. the evidence doesn't show that the election was stolen. let me make that clear. but those who are behind the efforts that you're describing, they think they're doing god's work, right? it's not as if they're out to steal in their minds. they're trying to protect the system because they think it was stolen. >> i don't know what's in their minds, michael, right? i don't doubt that there are some of them who genuinely believe the election was stolen and sophomore me of them who do. i'm sure there are both groups of motiva

powering possibilities. >>> dramatic republican on republican race beginning today in georgia stoked by, whales, a debate over donald trump. first full day of work for david perdue's campaign for governor and in his debut ad, listen to this, goes right after the incumbent republican brian kemp and his fight to rappel, remember, brian kemp would not support the former president's election lies. >> today we're divided, and brian kemp and brad raffensperger are to blame. i like brian this. isn't personal. it's simple. he has failed all of us and cannot win in november. instead of protecting our elections, he caved to abrams and cost us two senate seats, the senate majority and gave joe biden free reign. think about how different it would be today if kemp had fought abrams first instead of fighting trump. >> remarkable message. the panel is back in the studio. remarkable from david perdue who was a mainstream conservative republican. trump comes along, the big lie comes along right there, brian and brad, brian kemp and brad raffensperger, the secretary of state and governor of georgia ar

it is the republicans to get to choose -- when you have a select committee, republicans should be able to choose exactly who they want on that committee speaking for them. yet, for some reason, nancy pelosi was too afraid to allow that to happen, so she chose adam kinzinger and liz cheney, who are basically nothing but democrats. so i am wondering why c-span does not bring up things like that on this channel and ask those kind of questions or are you too afraid to actually get to the truth? as far as january 6, which you brought up, i would say maybe people at c-span need a lesson in history. there is nothing new that this january 6 riot was conducted by the fbi, with the help of antifa and blm. look back in history. 60 years ago, the intelligence agencies in this country's rent operations, like operation chaos -- warren operations, like operation chaos, and fbi operation, and look at those from back in the 1960's and 1970's. host: ok. a couple comments on twitter. rating congressional leaders, you have the democrats are often portrayed as weak. but you have republicans who refuse to g

republicans work overtime to block people from accessing abortion. so the real question right now is when democrats can no longer count on the federal courts to make sure that there's legal production for reproductive freedom, will they then step up? and that's happened in some states. in new york where i live it took donald trump actually getting elected and andrew cuomo to stop it. in california there have been strides every single year and they've led the way. in states that are really, really hostile to abortion it's left to grass roots activists really to try to help people. at this very moment in texas with most abortions illegal, help people leave the state to the best of their ability on extremely limited resources. so beyond the political leadership it's really the grass roots that's left picking up the pieces here. >> there seems to be some good news earlier this week when the food and drug administration decided to permanently allow patients to receive abortion pills by mail. but are states already acting to overwrite this? >> this is exac

i'm here to talk about what republicans are doing. i'm going to turn it over to my colleagues. >> thank you all very much. the centers for disease control reported that in a period ending april 20 21, there were over 100,000 drug overdoses with two thirds of these caused by synthetic opioids. during the same period, there were over 585,000 drug overdose deaths in my home state of ohio. 5000 585 lives lost. it can be directly tribute to the isolation due to the pandemic. from october 2020, to september 2021 customs and border patrol seized 11,201 pounds of fentanyl. the important thing to remember is customs and border control were able to seize this, we don't know how much got across the border. that is enough to kill the entire u.s. population seven times over. the cartels make small chemical modifications, making it harder to control. fentanyl is popular with illicit labs because it is cheaper and easier to manufacture than heroin, it is more addicting and fatal. it is 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphi

chris: you describe the gop of your generation as eisenhower republicans, moderate republicans. could people like bob dole even ronald reagan, could you make it in today's republican party? >> i doubt it. reagan wouldn't have made it. certainly nixon wouldn't have made it because he had ideas and we might have made it but i doubt it. i mean -- >> chris: too moderate willing to compromise? >> i consider myself republican, hyphenated stuff. i was a mainstream conservative republican and most people are in that category. chris: i asked dole for a quick reactions to some of the people and events he was involved in over the years including his 1988 contest with george h. w. bush for the republican presidential nomination and his battle with newt gingrich in the 90's when they led the house and senate. what do you think of barack obama? >> great golfer. [laughter] >> articulate. chris: as a president? >> i think as a president he lacks communication skills with his own party let alone the republican party and he's on the road too much. chris: richard nixon? >> brilliant, criminal, cou

they can't not, you cannot remove trump from a republican party that is trump. 85% of the republican party is this. is who they are. is supportive of the big lie. is supportive of all the things that have not allowed us to deal with covid. is anti-science. doesn't care about the truth. so, yes, give them the honor in the moment of that courage that they had that the other republicans didn't, but what they're doing by staying in the republican party in my view is facilitating a process that we're ultimately going to lose our democracy and i don't know what the history books are going to say because the history books obviously aren't written and the history books, we don't know what the end result of what's happening our country will ultimately be over the next two or four or five years. so i don't have any idea what's going to be in those history books and two, whether or not the republicans that are then in power are going to let people read those history books. >> eddie, i'm so struck that the 25th amendment was talked about again and it's not the first and only thing that we all pu

republicans will be opposed -- mr. mccarthy: don't just think it's republicans. jake's question is about adding the debt limit to the ndaa. i don't think it would pass. democrats can't pass the ndaa on their own. even in discussions with democrat staff, they don't think they could pass it. everybody looks to the fact -- let's go back on this question about the debt limit. it's another thing that we knew all along when is it due? the democrats have the ability of one-party rule to get this done. they have the ability to get it done in the senate without having any republicans to do it. what have they done to make it happen? here we are on friday and late last night just government funding we had it to do it last minute to get something through. the management of this house is unbelievable in every shape and form. we knew this had to take place. and at the same time that it needs to take place, the democrats want to add trillions of dollars. why haven't they taken care of this? why do they put the financial jeopardy of america on the line? i don't get it. now they

by the wyoming republicans? i would have said this is insane. but we are at that moment where the unimaginable tends to become inevitable. and we have to just accept this. >> you have said that if republicans win in 2022 and 2024, there is every reason to believe that democracy will no longer exist as we know it? i mean, you -- you really believe that? >> yeah, i think it's a truism. i mean, look. you -- how many republicans have denounced the power point to stop the peaceful transition of power? in fact, we really didn't have a peaceful transition of power, because people died in an attempt to stop it. all of these efforts that the republicans are trying to change these laws and are changing these laws in these states -- pay attention. i mean, they are these buffoonish characters out there that we're talking about like the marjorie taylor greenes. that's not who represents the -- the real core of this movement. and it is an autocratic movement. and it is driven by the fact that the republican party exists now i

i urge my colleagues, democratic and republican, to vote for this

republicans are rednecks. host: we try not to end with name-calling but we will be back tomorrow morning on this >> c-span is your unfiltered view of government. we are funded by these companies and more. >> cox is committed to providing families access to affordable internet to the connect program. bringing us closer. >> cox supports c-span as a public service along with these other television providers giving you a front row seat to democracy. >> you had something to hold you over after this meeting. something you may have thought about needing a little pick me up through the committee meeting today. college students face those same challenges in preparing to go to class or studying for tests. but in alabama between 30 and 60% of students do not have enough food to eat each day to support their concentration and focus along with their many other needs. it is important to remember each of these students has a name and a recent study conducted, one student named maggie mentions food was impacting my ability to

we were not there as republicans and democrats but as republicans. -- as americans. that would be embarrassing to be in congress now to see a man with an d behind his name and he is ugly or an r behind his name and he has a monster. i can just tell you that things came up and we dealt with the decibel disability act, we go with immigration -- the disability act, we dealt with immigration. there is no such thing as a partisan immigration bill, that is monstrous and bizarre. he was a genial giant and wonderful guy to work with. had a very delicious sense of humor which did not escape me and we had a solid background of doing something. as the john said just a few minutes ago. and they are gumming it up and are going to. if you can do it all the democrats or republicans, -- if you can diddle the democrats or republicans, you win the prize. host: did he have a saying he would go to when he talked about let's get it done? what would he say to you and others? guest: we would be in a conference committee with the other side. i worked for john dingell of the house. he was a

tony: unless a republican wins. i would love to agree with your statement that is going to impact the turnout. the fact of the matter is, we saw turnout particularly republican turnout, in both new jersey and virginia increase. karen: how it impacts turnout, how it impacts democracy. how -- if we have reached the point where a significant portion of our population does not trust the people who have run our elections and done a pretty good job of it for our history. tony: i think, there is a gradation of what people think. even within the republican party there is a gradation of what they think. about what republicans thought about the election. the closer we get to 2022, and they crossed back -- the prospect helps move this down the road. will trump start talking about it -- stop talking about it? once you get past 2022, you are onto the next election. can i do another lesson of the 2021 elections? john: big turnout, republicans should not fear big turnout. they should not fear making it as easy as possible for peop

republicans in the u.s. senate are holding the f.y. 2022 appropriations process hostage by refusing to do any work, let alone negotiate with democrats. rather than doing their job of funding the federal government, senate republicans want to kick the can down the road, wasting the first 4 1/2 months of the fiscal year. as chair of the defense appropriations subcommittee, it's clear that republicans are undermining our national security. they are increasing waste and efficiency. they're weakening our military readiness, and they're sending the signal to our troops and those in the defense industry they are not a priority. the american people should be sick and tired of hearing republicans in congress talk about how we need a stronger national defense while doing everything in their power to weaken our national defense. in this time of instability in this world, russia's knocking on the doorsteps of ukraine, china's on the doorstep of taiwan. there are serious national security threats in the world. when our a

well, margaret young ken is a corporate republican. okay. and they both worked at the same venture capital firm . okay. carlyle. okay. i mean, it's really amazing. this is your coke and pepsi joyce here. go right ahead. oh, but the media just had such so much fun with it over nothing. no, very little difference whatsoever. okay. except for how close he stands to donald trump. okay. this sounds like criminology. okay. jonathan, you and i have the same opinion of the republican party, and i agree with you. it's not really much of a party at all to fund me. it's a fundraising operation. what, what would you tell the if you had the power and you were a consultant to them, what would you suggest them to do? because i'm tired of this carousel going around and around voting this party and this party out and we get the same thing over and over and over again. nothing changes. go ahead, jonathan. well, i say that we used the democrats playbook. listen to one thing. i'll give the democrat party there are subversive left his group. i, you know, i have

republicans? >> it is an ongoing issue for the republican base but the majority of american citizens want people to be vaccinated to protect themselves and families and people they come in contact with. as far as businesses, take a look at united airlines. the latest number was over 95% of their employees are vaccinated. they used the mandate by the president as an incentive to get the job done. that means it is a safer place to fly and americans know that. same is true for businesses across the country. i think the republicans are flat-out wrong with this and sadly, their position will endanger the health and lives of a lot of americans. judy: how confident are you that in the days to come you will be able to hold off that argument that they will apparently continue to make? >> i don't know. to be honest, when the senate is 50-50 it only takes one person to cro over. so we will see. it is likely to come up this evening. it is likely to come up next week. the attendance is an apartment partner --

he lost his election, as a normal republican. now he's running as a stop the steal republican. >> that's why the midterm elections are so important. we have to show that the truth matters. and that people who were part of promoting this big lie, which is completely not true. that this was the fairest election in our lifetime and trump officials acknowledged that the last election. so we have to keep speaking the truth and hopefully, as the work of the select committee is completed and they issue their report, more and more people will come to realize that this was a lie that resulted in a bloody attack on our democracy. and anyone who attacked in any way and didn't speak out and didn't acknowledge the truth ought to be held responsible. you hope over time that people will realize that donald trump propagated this lie to stay in power, to overturn the will of the american people in an american presidential election, which is so disturbing in and of itself. the idea that there was a power point, a plan on how to do this. you almost

the lesson for republicans is obvious. trump policies work the mother is no going back to the old perpetual war open borders, globalist views of yesteryear. soon, they should if they are smart, unveiled a new 20th century contract. revive the oil and gas industry through exploration, shake off education, advance small businesses, reinvigorate american manufacturing, it is all a winning strategy. any republican who goes down the path of liz cheney, well, we'll just be joining the democrats in their soma and louise ending. ♪ ♪ and that his "the angle," there they go, joining me now is ari fleischer former white house press secretary and fox news contributor. lisa boothe, and fox news contributor. stephen miller, former senior advisor to trump an american first legal founder. ari, now the democrats keep acting like this is a messaging problem. but what is at the root of this plummeting series of polls for biden, common law, and the rest? speak of the root cause is that joe biden is the president of the united states. he's

republican gubernatorial nomination. >> it is quite a development that are incumbent republican governor has passed a challenge by trump, and they failed u.s. senator. a loser who is a, quote, debate dodger and coastal elite who patted his pocket in the pandemic. that actually is all the lines from his spokesperson. i did not write those words. that what his spokesperson said. interestingly, we agree that he has been an ineffective governor. at the end of the day, georgians are suffering and struggling in this pandemic. we are going into a winter, lawrence. where the omicron variant is no doubt going to wreak so much havoc. it is a confusing covid response. so we are about serving georgians. we are about serving and fighting for georgians. and the contrast just could not be any more clear. >> what does it mean to the republican party, more genuinely, if donald trump is going to come in and create republican primaries where there otherwise would not be any. >> it is a clear message to normal voters that their concerns and their struggles, and their pain, and their needs are not important

it put the republican voter in plus the national mood, which appears to be significantly favoring republicans. they have a unique opportunity here to make some real changes and there are some very different candid it's running. now, it takes a lot to throw in a convent out of office, but if republicans are going to do it, and if they're going to, you know, re brand their party if they're going to change to face and the policy of their party, this would be the year to do it, peter, you know, and i, as an x one example, joe, can't washington 3 voters do not have to settle for, put her out there. joe can't. if he wins the jungle evil, when are the run off? it's that simple. that's the mood we're in right now. so it would be a significant improvement from, ah, you know, from her, for the, if you look at where an average republican voter is now there may be, there is starting those the, the whispers are now starting to become just outright talks that kevin mccarthy would maybe not have the votes to even get the gavel. so if, if there is a significant primary suite to whatever you want to call it a

and, and they're trying to brand the republican party. and from what i can see, this is back firing remarkably against the democrats. because essentially what they're doing is they're basically trying to dismiss half of the population. that is the reason for people to go out and vote ok. they people go out because they're got to vote because they're angry and they're being smeared and being characterized in ways that are completely completely untrue and unfair. and so if this is that kind of cultural issue that i was mentioning, the 1st part of the program, i mean it, they like to play it, but it seems to me, this is going to backfire on them very, very dangerous. it's almost like, you know, i'm a deplorable everybody. what have the country will say? yeah, i'm a deplorable and they embrace it. what do you think? i mean, i agree. i just think it's, it's going to be an extreme challenge this time around because the january 6th issue lingers, and there's a palpable fear over something to the exponential of january 6, resulting and possibly n

republicans are more unlikely to be vaccinated than democrats. how is the white house thinking about cutting through that? what is their strategy? ashley: one of the -- for months, when you try to get to the bottom of why they think his own eight think he is not performing well politically, they say they believe it's covid. and it's frustrating to have to tell your political fortunes to something to some extent is out of your control. what they can control is they can make at home testing more readily available and cheaper. that would be a huge thing. that's something important to them. he is stressing very clearly that the best thing you can do is not just get vaccinated but get your booster shots. but the white house talked about the idea that the people who have taken the most precautions, the ones who are vast, the ones who are masked are still the ones who are the most scared and are behaving almost as if it's march 2020. the people who aren't of asked or boosted, it's like a different country. there is a little element of actual science. th

and i do believe this to the core republicans. they cannot move their agenda forward the way the base wants them to with the current leadership. mitch mcconnell, the word is he is not going to uh, service the senate majority leader anymore. but what difference does it make if he passes it down to john thune, who is basically his groomed on number 2, that is not with the republican base, is i do though, think that this year, it's not just that the advantage is so big. it's that how the presidency of donald trump ended in the mood put the republican voter in plus the national mood, which appears to be significantly favoring republicans. they have a unique opportunity here to make some real changes and there are some very different candid it's running. now, it takes a lot to throw in a convent out of office, but if republicans are going to do it, and if they're going to, you know, re brand their party if they're going to change the face and the policy of their party, this would be the year to do it, peter, you know, and i, as an x on

>> well, i think that -- my worst political moment on the republican side has to be any republican who, with a straight face, still says they care about life. in a year where abortion rights are at stake, we have had 780,000 americans pass away from covid-19. they're spreading misinformation. they support the death penalty. they do not care about life, so that overall for me is my worst republican moment, rev. >> all right. now, what about the second impeachment of donald trump? and the passing of voter suppression laws all over the country. >> well, look, i couldn't imagine a scenario in which there would be not one but two impeachments within a year of the same president who only had one term, rev. he had more impeachments than terms in office. and i think that the voter suppression laws are clearly a response to the demographic shift in the country towards a majority non-white electorate. republicans are reacting in a particular way, and a lot of ways, donald trump represents the past that they want to go back to, but the demographics are here. they're coming. so, strap in. republic

republican strategist. democratic congressman jamie raskin, who is on the committee, yesterday revealed another text from an unnamed republican official to then white house chief of staff mark meadows on november 4th. the day after the election. and it says, here's an aggressive strategy. why can't the states of georgia and north carolina, pennsylvania and other republican-controlled state houses declare this is bs, where conflicts and election not called that night and send their own electors to vote and have it go to the supreme court. this is -- they were still counting votes. this is the day after the election. they had all those paper ballots because of covid. and this was entirely just about stealing the election without even any evidence it was -- like here's a way to steal the election before we've counted the votes. he ended up winning north carolina, trump. >> we have an audit in texas where he won texas and we're having that conversation as well. when you speak to republicans, they had concerns a

my father loved republicans. that is not normal republican politics. it's something else. why do you think that we -- is it because the media is terrified by the right calling us liberal media? is it fear? do you think is holding people back from telling the truth about it? >> some of it may be fear and some may be returning to the previous business as usual that was sort of the default position before. it just no longer works now and the piece by bart i think is terrific. it's because of the big lie. it's not -- it's not those clowns marching in washington with their captain america shields. they're clowns. there are tens of millions of people who are no longer on board with the democratic experiment. there are at least ten states including arizona, texas, georgia and florida that was just referenced have given politicians essentially the ability to overrule the vote of the people. this could happen in 2024. there are signs that this is exactly what is going to happen. we can't sit there and say oh, that's bad on the one hand but well, it's just as bad that joe biden can'
