voters believe the big lie. many of them now are swayed by qanon, which is a national threat by the fbi. what they re doing with the fraudit is to degrade our democracy and degrade a third of this country s belief in democracy and telling them that this country is being stolen from you, it s been taken from you. so what do you have to do? you have to fight back, literally fight back. five people died in the january 6th violent insurrection, and people said, oh, once biden wins, they ll moderate. they have not. they have doubled down, tripled down. and what we ll see is violence in the streets, a weaponized, radicalized minority that will be unleashed against democracy and we still haven t taken it seriously or called it the f-word, fascism. there have been lots of times when i missed sitting around a table with all of you, but none more than when raj is talking
country club crowd, the chamber of commerce crowd, they ve got to make a decision. do they stand up and do what s right, or do they just kind of wait for this fever to pass and not rock the boat because in the meantime, they get their big tax cuts. they get no regulation on anything. you know, they get what they want. and so far they ve decided they re just going to be quiet, and that s pretty bad. it s pretty outrageous. the fraudit in your state blew up in trump s face, right, and all the people who were supporting it. but despite all of the failed recounts, he is still pushing for more in michigan, texas. is this all about amplifying the big lie no matter what? it doesn t matter the outcome. it s just keep amplifying this big lie even when they continue to show that biden won the election. yeah. i think i agree with the judge from texas you had on earlier. that was a great conversation. i think it s part of a it s out of a playbook and it started in arizona, but now it s goi
texas which is now passing senate bill 47, election audit bill, they are fast tracking that to do the same fraudit. the same state that donald trump won. how do you stop this if federal legislation doesn t get passed? legislation is critical to stopping this. that is absolutely necessary. as senator manchin said inaction is not an option. we are seeing the results across the country. it is barrelling forward without breaks absent federal legislation. it is true that there aren t ten republicans that have signed to the legislation. it does have 50 democrats. it is a top priority. there are ways to actually move this through congress to get this over the hurdle given the state of the crisis we re in with just minor adjustments to how the filibuster works.
talk about the fraudit, if we call it that. is there anything we can do? republicans were on a mission. they had the money to pull off this stunt. they did. it will be replicated in other states. absolutely. this is an incredibly dangerous development that is inspiring similar activities across the country. the damage is far beyond casting doubt on the legitimacy of the 2020 election. in addition to stoking disinformation about voter fraud. something debunked year after year. it is to suppress votes and roll back voting rights and finding more radical efforts to sabotage partisans to overturn election results. it is leveraged to fuel attacks on elected officials and election workers across the country. this is something that
took place. we don t know? bro. we don t know. joe biden in the fraudit got more votes. that was the fraudit results. just last week the former president claimed the fraudit proved he won. exactly the opposite of what it proved. he lost. think about what happens if the gop wins in the midterms. that s the end of congressional hearings of the big lie. the end of any real efforts to stop the nationwide assault on the right to vote. did you hear me? maybe you re not paying attention now. maybe you didn t hear me. call your friends. text them. or social media, whatever it is. jump in their dms and tell them. you d better pay attention. because the threat is very real. the gop still kowtowing to a
