republicans who are opposing what is happening at the state level. most elected republicans are passing laws in the states to make it harder for people to vote and take away the responsibility for who wins elections to state legislatures and putting forth people like the clown you just showed who are running not to process elections but to basically be the troops on the ground in the states supporting an effort that will overturn the next election if the republicans don t win. the republicans are active everywhere. they are getting ready. you know heads i win, tails you lose. they win in 24 or if they don t they are preparing never to see power. that is what it is about. if they are able to successfully
overturn the next elections if the republicans don t win. so the republicans are [inaudible] everywhere. they re doing it methodically, and they are getting ready. it is kind of like a heads on her head swim tells you lose. there are preparing to basically never see power. and that is what this is about. if there are able to successfully prosecute a coup, we could have donald trump and then donald trump jr. and then ivanka trump. and also banned trump. and you can see that s crazy. i think for a lot of the democrats in congress have to act with the same urgency that the republicans are asking for out of the state. and the entire media ecosystem which is saying that the january six was nothing but it is very very dangerous. but i would tell you this, the protection of our democracy doesn t have it in washington. whether your swing voter or

over florida and even the country. this is not trump territory by any means. republicans don t win here. and it is because they don t stand up for the issues that matter. which include making sure that everyone has access to health care, making sure we don t have oil rigs off our coastline, our people get it and donald trump is going to be sent packing by floridians next november. and he was asked whether he believes the u.s. and ukraine should investigate the debunked theory that it was ukraine and not russia that hacked the dnc in 2016. take a listen to his answer. any time there is information that indicates that any country has messed with american elections, we not only have a right but a duty to make sure we chase that down. the intelligence community was clear, it was russia. it was not ukraine. but when you have the former cia director who refuses to tamp down that debunked theory, how
