the truth will prevail. you are correct, martha, it was houston, harris county that extended 24 and drive-in voting against the law on your own. we can t have one county decide on their own rules and explained why we don t need 24 hour voteings. very few people vote during that time. shift workers can vote any time. we extended the hours for early voting and giving people off every day for early voting. we ve extended the voting. nothing to do with the trump election whatsoever. we are trying to write a really good bill that makes it easier to vote and 95% bill and martha, 95% of texans said it s easy to vote in texas. i was one of the authors of the voter i.d. bill. we have increased voting by 76% from 2014 to 2018. we ve increased voting in texas
that has been seized here in this area this year. now let s take a live view from our fox flight team drone. you can see the incomplete section of border wall that migrants have been walking around this morning. again these are mostly families, non-violent people, but the border patrol has arrested this week several dangerous individuals including a member of ms-13 and a member of the 18th street gang from el salvador and they apprehended someone from guatemala who was arrested in texas for sexually assaulted a child. 10 years probation and sent out of the country only to return again. bill, back to you. bill: jonathan serrie on the border today. put a human face on the surging drug deaths when we speak with virginia krueger, the mother of tiffany lee robertson who died of a fentanyl overdose six years ago and talk to dr.
bill: kamala harris made strong statements yesterday. elizabeth warren saw them in the hallway. it has been a full throated embrace about their visit. martha: one quick thing. when you consider the fact that during any of the early voting days you can leave work. this law will give you the ability the republican law the ability to leave work to go vote. when we grew up your parents got up at 7:00 in the morning before they went to work and leave at 5:00 on the dot so they could get there before 7:00 when the polls closed in the evening. it is hard to argue you can t vote in texas under this law. bill: you have to figure how to work it out. morning, evening, absentee ballot, through mail martha: they will let you leave work and be exempt from your job to go vote. it is pretty insane. read the bill and figure for yourself what you think about it. in the meantime starting today tens of millions of american families will receive monthly
cancel. i haven t left the house in a year. nothing will stop me from vacation. no canceling. flexible cancellation. kayak. search one and done. harris: d.c. democrats can t stop gushing over the sacrifice of the texas lawmakers who fled their state on private jets. dems are trying to have it both ways and the g.o.p. is calling out hypocrisy. plus 3.5 trillion in the democrats spending bill and they want to ram it through with zero support from republicans. but what will the price be for dems in the end? senate minority leader mitch
more than any other state in the union. early voting that we have as i said the other day with you on the morning, we have more early voting than six, seven, eight democrat states and some have none. go to texas legislature online. bill: thank you so much. i know your position is it s just a question of time and we ll wait for that time to come whether august 7 or beyond. thank you for coming back here today. the point he makes about codifying the covid rules in husband ton as you point out they had 24 hour drive-thru and 24 hour voting. not a part of texas law. it seems to be one of the major rubs on behalf of democrats but i don t think it s been clarified about a lot of those pushing forward with this thing. i don t think the embrace of these texas democrats in d.c. has been as strong as many people expected here. they haven t met to the president or white house. maybe that changes. martha: he has no plans to meet with them.
