barbara bush was very accustomed and comfortable wielding significant influence behind the scene. some of that has changed and once we have our first husband instead of the first white maybe that will change more. do you find that that attitude prevails even now? doesn't prevail even with melania trump, a tendency to recognize the influence that they can have? >> guest: well, i think if we fight about a cabinet member, we sure should be writing about whoever it is, whether it's kitchen cabinet or -- we should be writing about who is influencing one of the most powerful people if not the most powerful person in the world. so to say she is not consequential i think misses the point back. she's also a hit and store figure. there's not that many women in all of history who live in the white house, that the tax pair building, one of the public in the world. she has a taxpayer funded staff of 100. who is this person? she has a platform that potentially can do a lot. now, her influence so far has not been on the best platform. it is been behind the scenes harder to see. i think the reaso

similar play out back in 2005 after the 2004 bush versus kerry election, there was a democratic congresswoman from ohio, stephanie tubbs jones, she was joined by barbarar, senator from california, they objected to ohio's electoral count making a point about voting there, and voter disenfranchisement and paper ballots. and what you said is exactly what will happen, the joint session breaks up. the house debates the challenge separately. the senate debates the challenge. so they each go to their own chamber. there's debate. there's a vote on it. it's unlikely there is going to be a vote that passes, that actually somehow upends the electoral count. that doesn't seem really within the realm of possibility. so it's all about making a point and josh hawley is laying down the fist marker for perhaps a presidential run in 2024. he wants to make sure all of his trump supporters know he's an alley of president trump, who still holds so much power signed the party. >> and despite the embarrassment for the democratic process here, it does raise a question of voter integrity. and josh hawley said at the very least congress should adopt measures to secure the inte
