the last word goes to ari fleischer. what should republicans do at this moment, ari? >> they need to keep making the case, the public case, we've been here before, we were there with president obama in 2010. republicans had the biggest win in the house in 70 years. republicans have the ability to communicate and express what's wrong. when joe biden goes on this massive redescription of income, big a spending spree, allowing people to come into the country illegally, not handling covid properly, republicans have a great case to make for why the democrats and joe biden should be thrown out. >> sean: congressman jim jordan, ari fleischer, always great to have you both. thank you. tonight, while the border crisis spirals out of control causing a nationwide super-spreader event, the biggest in history, state and local governments, they are now ramping up mandates for you, and for your children. at a local school board meeting in tennessee, doctors advocating for mask mandates in schools were met by a massive crowd of very angry parents. meanwhile, out in california, we hav

this was ari fleischer bringing up that point this last hour.oblem that cnn is taking no action. one of the reasons why -- i have to point this out to viewers -- do you know who is in charge of communications at cnn? governor cuomo's former communications director. she now runs the show. she's the number 2 to jeff zucker at cnn. one of the reasons cnn has not taken disciplinary action against journalist chris cuomo is because of the relationship that she has with former governor -- or governor andrew cuomo. >> sandra: it's an important point that you don't see out there that much. howie kurtz was accurate when he pointed out there's this mixing of politicians and tv and, you know, similar worlds that exist there. this is the coverage that we saw on prime time cnn last night. anderson cooper covered this for 21 minutes and 45 second. there was zero coverage on cuomo prime time at 9:00. and don lemon took off and had 21 minutes of coverage there. is this a problem, congressman? >> big-time problem. undermines the credibility of media. a lot of peo
