words returned last night celebrating the best of broad away from before the pandemic we'll get to all of that White House report. but he associated Press, Jonathan and the is with us for the morning. He was up way too early and we'll start with that report from Friday from Publicans investigating the nearly two point: one million ballots cast last year in Arizona confirmed the accuracy of the official results and President Obama when America County Cyber ninjas Florida based Cybersecurity company concluded that Biden had one three hundred sixty more votes than the county had awarded him in the official count, however, form of roads, Donald Trump continued to make his baseless claims about last year's vote, issuing a fool Hurry of statements falsely claiming the review found new widespread fraud in what has been having a litmus test.

Many members of his own party. He continued spreading the vehicle over the weekend, especially on Saturday rally in Perry, Georgia. We won on the Arizona forensic guarded yesterday at a level that you wouldn't believe, is clear in our results that they must decertify election. You heard the number and those responsible for wrong doing We held accountable. There was a corrupt lecture and it's my opinion by the way that Georgia is far worse. and the Arizona attorney general. A good man will do far more for his state than your attorney general has done for your stay

because your attorney general has not done what he's supposed to be doing church this seems like old video. I feel like we're watching videos from I don't know of six it's about nine months ago. It's just, I feel, like it's getting more and more hollow for members. The Republican Party like how can they stand up for this? I question that we vast now for five years and while the lie to keep getting not worse, more obvious bright, Obviously, they try to rig the process in Arizona and in the the process of rigging that process, Donald Trump out, he lost by an even wider margin to Joe Biden than a Spected. You know a lot of talk this weekend: Jonathan Wellmere, that Robert Kragans Robert Kragans,

sweeping peace on our constitutional crisis is already here. Well, the cut the crisis that we are facing is only here because people know the truth, they choose to follow Donald Trump. Instead, it is a personality. Cult is Kagan, points out a cult, some which our founding fathers never anticipated. But let's, let's make no mistake. Its fuelled by They cult members who can hear the news. Is coming out of Arizona, Donald Trump lost again that can be here. the news from their family doctors about the same. De of covert charge? That can hear the truth about covert and and and and other issues so about January, the sex, but they know the truth, they choose, the lies and Donald Trump is the one who of course, is fat

Those lies and hopes to benefit from home. Again. small, Joe with results that other recount for President Trump is now set a record for most times losing Arizona. Congratulations to him. but you are right. I just see. I guess you could really say Jonathan wellmere this morning that the sort of the Boston run saga is at least the third, Greek out he's lost their yeah Joe. I feel it will have a lot of red Sox talked to get to later, but on this, and are more serious doubt, certainly it is. It is as you say, obvious, lies, but so dangerous once and ones that a lot of people are refusing to believe or at least refusing to face what might actually be the truth that it does seem like right one than ever before. The concept of truth itself is in debate here in the United States, when it should be inherently not up for debate where people are choosing to believe can spare, if there is they ve c on social media or been floated by a politician whether to former

president for a sitting, Republicans senator or congressmen that there are. This is right now, a loyalty test and the GEO P, with only a few exceptions. The gnp is largely gone along with former President Trop. Now will that too translator votes for him in twenty twenty four. If you were to run again we'll have to see, but certainly right now he continues to have a stranglehold on this part, and what is perhaps so dangerous here is not just the fact that the he and those close to him are contesting twenty slash. Twenty, the twenty twenty election and pushing the lie about the twenty twenty election. They're moving on two thousand and twenty four and installing big lie friendly secretaries of state in various states across the country Republic, Saint legislators, changing voting laws restricting access to access to the ballot. It's about twenty, twenty, but really Joe right. Now it's about twenty four in laying the groundwork in putting

People in place who would be willing to go along with a big lie next time that there are problems could lose, but yet those votes won't be certified and perhaps the real winner won't be put an office. If we want to address them, the crisis we have to stop building new fossil fuel infrastructure, the line three oil pie. I will bring nearly one million barrels of oil per day across some of the world's most crucial freshwater resources, but don't take it from us, listen to those on the front line. I mean it would only do commissioner away from the north country where I live, you can drink the water from a lake where I live, you can drink the water from a stream where I live, you can eat the fish in their wild rice everywhere. This is where the wild things are. I want protect where I live, and so do you from tar sands pipeline that no one needs help us stop the dirty oil from coming through our waters. Help us protect our future for our children, help us stop lying

tell Joe Biden to stop line three language. I renewable just economy is still within reach, joined the fox on the front line, seven generation. In calling on the Biden administration to stop line three at seven generation dot com, slash, take action was forget. It was talking about also that The danger is that yes a wild. The system held in twenty twenty, with your sitting, there wondering why? Why? Why are they changing election laws and states were Donald Trump? Why? Because they're afraid twenty before he may not do well, it may get closer. They may need to steal the election in that again. It's just for those of you who again there. Will you hear about voting reforms? You hear about a lot of the challenges that, this country. This democracies facing it so important that look at two phases of what these tromp friend

states are doing the first phase of courses for approach likes to prevent blocking, especially for black folders and other people of color, but the more frightening than that for all Americans is the fact that their trial, it changed. The rules on the counting of votes change, one state legislature after another and in an Trump friendly Tori, is trying to make it so state legislatures can throw out your vote. If you dont vote for Donald Trump, if they don't like which your community does, if they don't like what your precinct does, if they don't like what you're state does this report legislatures enter. Our trumpist are now legislation that takes the power away from election officials. makes a power away from Secretary of state. It takes a power away from governors to certify election boats that are straight

Ford in all of this is happening again, let's make a let's just start telling the truth. You see the people buying Donald Trump there, the people who were feeling this every bit as much as Donald Trump there, the one better preferring the lies, are the ones that are going to the conspiracy sites that are the ones that are getting information stem from the Associated Press are Reuters or the BBC they're getting it from chinese religious cults. That is starting sites in America to expand their reach, and then We can't trust. We can trust the ip We can't trust the mainstream media obeyed. Some information from a chinese religious called. What do you think about that and then see insanity. That's the insanity that we live in We need to stop looking at Trump, and these Images and start looking at the people bind and who know the truth, but we're would rather live in a lie.

Other live in July? We are living in a lie every day, every day that they continued it about bamboo and vote ballots every day they ring worse. Donald Trump lies about Arizona every day they reinforces lies about Georgia every day they reared forces lies about rigged elections. They are the threat to american democracy. Here's some of Robert Kragans column that you mentioned the pieces entitled Our constitutional crisis is already here and Robert Kagan Rights in part. The United States is heading into its greatest political and constitutional crisis, since the civil war, with a reasonable chance? over the next three or four years of incidents, ass violence, a breakdown of federal authority and the device of the country into warring red and blue enclaves. The founders

did not foresee the trump phenomenon in part, because they did not foresee national parties. They anticipated the threat of a demagogic but not of a national culture of personality. We are already in the constitutional crisis that describe destruction democracy might not come until November? Twenty twenty four but critical steps in direction are happening now, in a little more than a year, it may become impossible to pay legislation to protect the electoral process and twenty twenty four one wonders whether modern american politicians in either party have it in them to make such fold moves they might have the insight to see where events are going and the courage to do whatever. It is necessary to save the democratic system. If that means

political suicide for this handful of Republicans, wouldn't it be better to go on fighting for democracy than to slink off quietly? into the night, that's the question Joe and there's a lot people. I know who still have that in our trump campaign and trust fund razors get get sending them text messages begging for money for his run for election or whatever it might be there there and its those people we are talking about that are still going to his rallies that are still you that still hide behind? What clearly are lies, but are comfortable places to be to have an argument or of a wealthy the group of supporters, to again those lazy stereotypes and an apple bomb wrote about about an olive Donald Trump borders are just on educated working class people. Now now that's just that's just a lie. Lot of a more wealthy?

middle class people who have the best college degrees that one could get an they're, the ones that are spreading, those lies, choosing dispread those lies: choosing liberalism over american democracy, turning their backs on everything. They were taught growing up in school, believing that dumb piracy is not legitimate and election is valid, unless you like the result, unless you like the outcome, you do wonder where their patriotism again tossed aside, where their view of America get so twisted there now actually supporting the throwing out of a presidential election, but it's happened. Jonathan Wellmere. There was a line from Kragans I say where he says that the founding fathers foresaw the threat of national parties, but never foresaw the rise of

or a personality cult. That's really! Well. We have here and while cake talks about what Republicans to do a handful of Republicans. This really does come down to the fact that Democrats have the votes, Democrats have the votes to actually passed the solution that will stop state legislators from stealing the election from stealing the election there in tat my good friend Joe Mansion and curses their intent is to steal the election You can see the clear intent written on that legislation if a man Mcconnell believes there should be an exemption for the filibuster for, while one of the most important things the Senate dies and that is confirming Supreme Court justices. There's there can't be

buster have saving american democracy for voting rights, laws for civil rights laws. I guess I I guess the question in Washington has been for some time now: Jonathan Wellmere. Will the Democratic Party have the courage to count the fifty to stop these games for stealing elections and destroying american democracy. Will they the courage to count the fifty and do what Republicans would do and in New York. Second, one of the most dissipated movies are the fall, is the last door, a film legendary rudely Scott Director of Gladiator in black, hawk down that promises to be his definitive epoch, the movies the true story of one woman who to fight a kingdom and made history and features a stellar cast of Academy Award Winners, Matt Damon Ben Afflux Academy Award nominee Adam driver in Jody Comber, who gives a performance

say, will be remembered, come Oscar time. The script was written by How do we award nominee Nicole Hollow Centre, as well as African Damon, their first together, since they won the best screenplay Oscar for goodwill, honey critics of hailed? The script is quite possibly the best of the year in the movie is a near perfect picture, the last door, theatres October fifteenth. The question is, if not now, when the stakes couldn't be higher and there's. Can we so much scrutiny Joe? This week on Capitol Hill and the Democrats there we see are facing a looming government shut down? There's the fight over the debt ceiling. Of course, this is the weak where President Biden, too, Our agenda is going to be debated, unlikely voted on capital. Hill and Democrats are not sure they keep their party together to get them done. I certainly not at the current size is going to be a long, weak and lots of twisting parents ahead, but while that has dominated the oxygen, yes in the background have been these other looming. Fights and no bigger than the one

for voting rights that so many Democrats, like should be frightened centre. That should be job number one for this. Why, To say why haven't you made this a priority not only Is it endangering our chances of winning elections next year and lose potentially both houses of Congress during the mid terms, but also disenfranchised and perhaps huge portions of the Democratic Party, and certainly putting twenty twenty four up for grabs. As we see these republican states legislatures restricting access to the ballot. That's all about the filibuster. We present lives. May Democrats feel the whilst listening you need to get this done, some sort of adjustment modification She elimination of the filibuster to focus on this maybe even only Maybe yes that exception, as you said, on voting rights, but they say you have to do. This has to be a priority and they ask but there

republic there, arson democratic, send years, those moderates mansion and cinema, and some others who are little quieter about it, who have been reluctant to do so. That is going to be the test for this present as much as we could look at him, week to twist arms and cajole members of his party cigarettes agenda done down the road he's going to do the same, to convince Democrats to adjust the filibuster to protect the most sacred of democratic institutions how quaint and how precious that some democratic senators are concerned. The Senate formalities are concerned about Senate procedure, as Republicans or working as hard as they can. To not only stop people that vote democratic from going out to vote and twenty twenty four actually rigging the vote counting process, so the local election officials can be overrun by republican state legislatures

secretary of States that actually said noted. Donald Trump lies to his big lie: can be overrun by Republican just lighters in the states that governors in the tropics, dumb governors who now they weren't going to discount and their states. They weren't going to throw out votes from black majority black pit, thanks, even though Donald Trump wanted them to do that they weren't going to do that, but how precious Democratic senators are worried about procedure, sought even cost additional procedure. They helping David, a tea party on the law on after have tools overrun again or an american election is thrown out. What exactly now. What exactly as well they would say it's a little crude this morning. But what are they?

saving their spend far. That's a north Georgia. What are they saving where they saving and four? Because, because Republicans white, our working around the clock to daily american Margaret see the way we ve grown up with american democracy, where actually You did know, allow state legislators to overturn what voting official. Local voting officials wanted you, this is like their part. You have run dissenters who set the conservative all power to the local, it's a local people that need out now now, but when it goes against governor dissenters, he doesn't trust, teachers, he doesn't trust parents, he does it trusts school boards. He doesn't trust local leaders. He wants the power to himself, so he can be. The puppet mass from ass? I have said send ever want that to be. But we have this, thing here mega where you

actually have now state legislatures in Malta local control. We need to push local control. Guess why now their passing legislation that takes low will control away for local election officials? Why? Because those local? lacks. Officials will actually count the ballots and the report that to the state, and then this it is supposed to give the electoral thus to whoever gets them as if they are not doing that they dont they do that anymore. They have their skiing they have their own planned. Undermine elections had done go there? Why? Because I know they're going to keep losing because our policies are so important to most Americans, so there's what they do and other democratic side. You just have democrats running around in circles acting acting like like they ve, never been.

There before they don't know what to do with that power, and I must say if they lose it's going to be their own fault, because the chaos and the in fighting it so push league it. Sir. Embarrassing and Eugene because I want to bring any. I just have to ask they: ve got that to pass reconciliation. They have the votes to pass this, historic infrastructure bill. Are they going to do it or are they just keep fighting each other. Why republicans work every day? passing voting laws to take it the rights of of voters. It aren't going to support them. among the infrastructure building. You have its policy announcing that they're gonna go on that interest, your bill in the house on Thursday to talks about you know they're starting house debate today. It's a mess

Is someone who she will not bring something to the formation of still she has? The vote has been handed projecting this air of cancer and over and over again I'm older last week, but no one is so that something like that's where the interesting is that there is so much of the infighting. Moderates changed the game and they started to say you know when you do the into the hard infrastructure by self to reconciliation made our do this key to us, as your Manton said, and that is not the agreement that started this entire process right, that the process that started they wanted to do from the president on down and agree to do was doing these things in that kind of two track and that no long, seems to be as possible as it pardon there's. My frustration within model,

within progressive that they can get these things? They can't get together figure these things out, because if they can't do this right, if they can't figure this out, the other harder stop you're talking about getting rid of it than the buzzer carving up little buster working on changing some of the Senate, some about the Senate machinations, so that they can do and protect democracy in the way that they want to do. Democrats. How are they gonna? Do they can count the bolts getting about to do? What is really popular right as much as people have talked about? President barons are parading. Going down his actual policies right, the build back, build back Petre, the into the hard infrastructure bill are both

Those are all those policies within their very, very popular with the american people. If you can't do something that is as popular as this, how can you know always depend on you to do the rest of the staff. The police were for the voting protections protecting abortion right all of those things, organic to all that's going on capital, Hale plus potential nother way. forward for Republicans with some remarks that less Cheney made last night on sixty minutes, but now the cove it Day was supposed to be a day that Maxine mandate kicked it for New York, city, public schools, the donations largest school system, but a federal judge grant a temporary injunction and miss his white house. Correspondent. Monica Alba has details just hours before about

seen, mandate was set to go into effect for teachers and staff in New York City, a federal judge, temporarily blocked its enforcement in the nations largest school system after mayor bill, deplores YO announced last month it nearly one hundred and fifty thousand employees would have to get at least their first dose by Monday, which includes teachers, custodians, an cafeteria. workers mixed emotions from parents on what the pause means for their children? It should be mandated. Yes, I feel like if the teachers don't want the vaccines- that's okay! As long as they're safer by to put the mask on it's the first no test option mandate for such a broad group in New York, where there is a similar

was it for hospital and nursing home workers prompting major concerns over staffing shortages with governor cabbie hope all announcing she's ready to declare a state of emergency if thousands of teachers or health care workers don't show up even preparing for the National Guard to step in if needed. Currently, eighty four percent of hospital employees in New York state are fully vaccinated compared to seventy seven percent of nursing homes, staff in New York City schools. Eighty nine percent of teachers have gone no shots, but the current mandate fight is likely a sign of more to come. This is only one at any number of lawsuits said you're gonna, see across the country because of the harmonization. In that this information, the Biden administration already bracing for legal battles when it comes to its own requirements for workers nation wide with the challenge of enforcing some of these directives, even more complicated than creating them are lost. Fran prosecutor, Charles Coleman, where does

go next. So what will see after what we ve already seen Mika in terms of this injunction being granted is that the next court, the next level out the court of appeals, essentially there'll, be a panel of judges that will look at this Susan on an expedited basis. As per the decision the previous judge who made who made the call on the first appeal and that person or that that panel judges, rather they will decide whether they this is going to stop right where it is, but I suspect that will in the end whether the mandate will go forward or whether the mandate, in fact is not legal, in which case we would like to see yet another appeal and that being taken. Here is the next quarter decides to grant review, but it is not dead in the water. This is simple. Simply something has been kicked down. The road and we are going to see this be- viewed in a matter of days, but likely before the week is over

Charles, why? Why did the judge step in and allow this temporary injunction to return to stop? In fact, Why New York City says it needs to do to protect children while job the interesting thing that I found in terms of reviewing the deal we in some of their statements after the decision was made, was that they kept saying well now, there will be an opportunity for all the facts to come Now we have an opportunity to present more facts and say more. I found out to be very strange, especially when I looked at the pleadings from both parties and their ways I say that is a large part of why this disease, may have come down. The way that it did was about framing. I don't think that they necessarily made the connection that they needed to from a legal perspective to make it a matter of public health. In terms of why They are mandating the vaccine for its teeth. Because we know that the vaccine can prevent you from having extreme scent of when it comes to call way. But we also

that you can still contract covert and you can still spurt covered, even if you are vaccinated, so I think that when reading the pleadings it didn't necessarily make the straw the case for the rational, using the rationale that they were attempting to advance in order to get to the conclusion that they wanted to conclude. being well. This is a matter of public health. This is a matter of protecting our students and protecting our other teachers from each other, but then that this Lange that out as clearly as needed to be in order to institute a mass mandate for all deal with employees strikes, important point here that it's not about teachers at some other school staff are all resistant to the taking the vaccine in the mandate walkers through. If would say, if you you're right, and this gets reinstated here in a few days will be other measures, other means for those who don't want to take the vaccine to file legal action to try to stop it and what else what it messaging you think this week sends two other school districts across the country who may be looking at a similar mandate. Both of those are fantastic questions. The fruit and I'll go we're verse

what we are dealing with, because New York City School district is literally the largest public school district in the country is this is setting precedents. Everyone is trying to understand how we are going to handle it. This is uncharted territory for pretty much all of us here, because Never been in a situation like this, and so the model that exist in New York City from both a legal perspective, air from a practical perspective, is going to lay the foundation for everything that we do going forward now in terms of additional remedies. Yes, you are going to have from unemployment stay. when the idea of religious exemption. That is something that is always going to be available to employees, because your federal right are protected too, that if you are able to secure religious exemption, whenever I dont want to send the message that this is going to be something that's widely available for anyone to discipline clean religious exemption. There was a process that occurs when you claim that

do have to establish that with a great deal with a great deal of certainty before you can simply say I'm exempt because of my religious beliefs or my practices. I do expect there to be an extensive amount of additional litigation, not just here in New York, but in other places, because I necessarily think given that I won T we're dealing with their people going too readily accepted, whether it's the politics of climate change the challenges of racial injustice or the ongoing threat of the corona virus Emerson see daily, is here to help you better understand.
