putting out there for the last several months about what a sham this exercise really is. so we know that the vote was audited multiple times, right, in arizona? the results in maricopa county? yes. we followed all of the laws and procedures about post-election verification of the election to ensure that it was accurate and fair, and it was. and there was no reason to do this additional exercise. so knowing that the result was fair and free from fraud because of the way it was administered and because multiple audits proved that out, certified by republican governor no less, what are the scenarios for what the cyber ninjas are going to find? well, i mean we know if they were doing a valid audit, which they re not, that there s nothing to find. there was no fraud. there was no you know, there were no issues or irregularities
houlahan. thank you, richard stengel. up next, the quick pivot on the right from pretending to be care and be outraged about the fate of vulnerable afghans to opposing any of them coming to the united states. plus breaking news from texas, where governor abbott, who won t allow schools and businesses to protect themselves from covid, has now tested positive for covid himself. and tonight s absolute worst. republicans are writing a work of fiction. the plot is weak. the hero is orange. and the conclusion is predictable. but it does have ninjas. ah, the reidout continues after this. lace like panera. enjoy the toasty, saucy chipotle chicken avocado melt on freshly baked bread. panera. order on the app today.
enough information to and if you lost them, we ll provide them to you again. some we re not going to give to you, but it doesn t seem like an end is near. they re going to continue to fight in court over what they can get from the county and the senate is also fighting on two different fronts to keep all of the records from this audit secret so the arizona republic has sued the senate and cyber ninjas trying to get their communication and another group has sued and they re fighting both of those lawsuits for public record. the audit itself could drag on for weeks more maybe and the fight over these records looks like it will drag on for a while as well. tim miller, with respect to ryan s body of reporting, he is the preeminent expert on what s happening in the state and the
nonsense this cyber ninja fraud is. and the thing that worries me the most about this, nicolle, and we talked about it before but it s worth repeating, this is a powder keg right now. when you look at what happened on january 6th, the reason why that was out of control is because there was this decision point and there was a moment and there was a gathering place and people were upset and people were angry. i looked at this arizona audit release as the next potential inflection point. hopefully, god willing, that passes without any incident. but that is very much a moment where let s say the ninjas come out and obviously they re going to fabricate whatever they think they need to say to shed some doubt on the results and that people whether it s journalists, my colleagues on this panel or people who are vote counters or government officials in the state i think are going to have real threats and there s going to be real concerns, and you can see now if you re watching,
simone biles, she is a trail blazer, changing the sport of gymnastics, which does contribute to one s mental health in some cases. as you mentioned earlier, i m standing in the dominique dawes gymnastics and ninja center in maryland, and it s a healthy, encouraging environment, something different than what i came from. i wanted it for my four kids and young gymnasts interested in trying a healthier option in the sport. yeah, this is perhaps a culture change that she is helping shepherd through. if anyone has been paying attention to usa gymnastics lately, it is much needed as you basically said there. dominique dawes, thank you so much for joining us. thank you for having me on. i appreciate it. look, you know, i always want to know where i can get a degree in ninja, and it turns out i can go to the dominique dawes ninja academy. i know a 3-year-old and 5-year-old who really want to be ninjas so maybe just head on up to maryland. right after hogwarts i m
