States with fraudulent ones. yes, i was part of the process to make sure there were alternate electors under the leadership of rudy giuliani. signed fake certificates were sent to the national archives declaring donald trump won states he lost. that was boris epshteyn, long time trump loyalist. i would bet the panel would like to hear a lot more about him, about that from him. what s also deeply concerning is this draft executive order the exit tee is looking into from december 2020 that indicates a proposed plan for trump to use the military to seize voting machines. we are concerned that our military was part of this big lie. and if that isn t enough, as the january 6th panel investigates the deadly attack on our capitol, a republican speaker of the house, former republican speaker of the house, is now floating the idea of jailing members for doing their constitutional duty.
Of teams currently working in the house. i hope the senatete is going to take the same approach. i think that it s very important for the senators to understand that just being negative vnt f isn t enough. first of all, it s not enough to win. and second, not it s not enougho govern. you need tot ough give your wort and then you need to keep your word. i m watching right now governor glenn youngkin who s doing a great job. he s doing exactly what he g campaigned on . the people of virginia s are getting exactly what they voted for. that s how a free societyac shouldtl work. and that s why i think this year that having some kind of contract would be very powerful then to be electedel and say to the biden white house, look, we were elected to do these things. we re going to doo themo remembr we got all the major things accomplished with a democratic presidentlish. we didn t just sit around and say negative for two years muchtrould be very
Action? yeah, and several ones boycotted the president s visit today. not attending. of course, the white house took that turn to highlight the people who did show up, the civil rights leaders who did come and prominent democrats as well and i think you are hearing from some of them, anderson, they are happy that the president brought the bully pulpit that he has to georgia today to talk about this. to give that speech. but they are also saying this isn t going to be the end of the road here. this isn t enough, just having another speech from a president on this. including, the president of the naacp, derek johnson, who was on hand for the president s visit today and he said it was a stirring speech, anderson. but he also said that it is time for this administration to match their words with actions and saying that voting rights can t just be a priority, it has to be the priority for this white house. and we know that it is something that is certainly the priority now. but it hasn t
But they are also saying, this isn t going to be the end of the road here. this isn t enough, just having another speech from the president on this. including the president of the naacp, who was on-hand for the president s visit today, and he said it was a stirring speech, anderson. but he also said that it is time for this administration to match their words with actions and saying that voting rights can t just be a priority, it has to be the priority for this white house. and we know that it is something that is certainly the priority now. but it hasn t always been. they have had other legislative battles that they were fighting when it came to that covid relief bill, infrastructure, of course the build back better plan that stalled over the holiday break. and now, voting rights is the top of priority. but the big question is, where does it go from here? yeah. i mean, they have been talking about this, i don t know, for months, obviously. and it s doomed in the senate. i mean, it s
What do you see there from the republican senator perhaps softening the ground for their own side because they don t want to necessarily raise expectations if they re going to lose this going into the midterms? i think that s right. i think they know they re going to lose and people like graham may well decide this is not one to fight on. let s not forget, as wonderful of a moment this may be, as we finally break this ridiculous and horrible barrier to not have an african american woman on the supreme court, this isn t enough. this doesn t change the balance. what they did, and lindsey graham was part of it, was steal two seats on the supreme court. they locked in a situation where this new justice would have to be there, two other people, and they have to wait and wait to really protect the law and constitutional rights and rule of law in this country. we have to remind ourselves of that, how they abuse the process. what i m most excited about, ari, is this president, this senate, r
