this lack of agreement and negotiation, could, in fact, tag the president s agenda, could have real consequences for democrats in 2022. representative connolly saying you have to spend a little more time looking at the consequences. there will be hell to pay back home. you say republicans aren t working with you. of the house republicans, i think there are at least a dozen according to our reporters on capitol hill, perhaps a few more, who plan to vote for infrastructure even if they vote for it, they can go home and say look at what we did. do you think democrats are thinking enough about how this could impact where they stand come 2022? i don t think we re looking at that well enough. collin made an excellent speech in caucus a couple days ago and laid it out the way it is if we don t get behind this bill and give america an infrastructure bill they d like to have and pass the build back better bill, we re ruining biden s agenda. if we don t show we can govern, we re risking our
just after we got off the air last night, there s late breaking news about his latest efforts to pave a path for seizing power in the future. you might remember that we talked about the pressure that the governor of texas, greg abbott, was under to start an audit of the state s 2020 election results. this despite the fact, remember, donald trump won texas. republicans did well in the elections in 2020 there. and lo and behold, someone appears to have buckled to precisely that pressure. this happened just as we finished the show, okay? the office of the texas secretary of state released a statement saying a forensic audit has already begun for texas s two largest democrat counties. it s democratic, but whatever, dallas and harris, and the two largest republican counties, terrence and collin for the 2020 election. you see how deliver they think
count already showed him winning. nevertheless, yesterday on the eve of the release of those results, former president trump released a statement demanding that texas must immediately opened a forensic audit of its results, to. he said it must be done, quote this week. let s get to the bottom of the 2020 presidential election scam. why do you want texas audited? you won texas. you think he really didn t win texas? you want that double? checked your sure? did you see what happened today in arizona? nevertheless, within hours, the cause he told them to, republican leaders in texas obliged. late last night, the texas secretary of state s office announced they have begun a comprehensive forensic audit. but not in the whole state. only in the states for largest counties. dallas, harris, tyrant and collin counties. three of which were run by president biden. this despite the fact that the republican appointed secretary of state who oversaw the 2020 election had previously said it was smooth
the same stunt in other states. hours after former president trump demanded an audit of the election results in texas, a state he won, a full forensic audit was ordered in four counties. dallas, harris, tarrant and collin. president biden carried three of those counties. similar efforts are underway by republicans in wisconsin and pennsylvania. and in florida, a state trump won, republicans are ordering a third-party examination of counties with larger populations. of course, those counties tend to lean democratic. also breaking overnight, four trump loyalists subpoenaed by the house select committee investigating the january 6 insurrection. all four men asked to submit documents and appear before the committee in the next few weeks. so, expect big legal fight here. our ryan nobles reports from capitol hill. reporter: laura and christine, this is a significant move by the january 6 select committee, and it shows where their investigation is headed. they are requesting both private
questions we asked about the threat assessments on the ground in afghanistan. and, again, very immature, dismissive, and rude to the point of our senators and our very valid questions. brian: senator, what you are saying is the worst decision in american military history, arguably, that took place a few weeks ago, you finally are going to get clarification next week and the country will get a chance to see people explain themselves, how we leave at least 10% of americans and allies and green card holders behind. and when you ask collin call what went into this decision he said i wasn t even confirmed yet. yes. that is correct. to one of my questions about the threat assessment on the ground who was making decisions, he basically told me just very upfront he said i wasn t confirmed yet. and he said i was at home sitting on my couch because i wasn t confirmed yet. absolutely no excuse.
