but bill casey was exactly the kind of guy he was capable of doing that. >> casey you have some questions? >> i've questions i will read out. what unique questions that you asked president carter? >> i asked about the october surprise. he very diplomatically deferred saying he had no opinion about it. but he was clearly aware of the allegations and what he would find. i also asked him as i explained about his influence in thinking about various issues i asked him about the helicopter rescue mission, he was helpful. but i have to say the best thing he did to help his biographer was to keep a very detailed white house diary throughout his presidency. as you know he published about 20% of its that's a fabulous diary it is substantive, it's a place you can see him venting about various issues and personalities and problems facing on a daily basis. and i asked him repeatedly if he could open up the 80% that were still closed. but he turned me down and he has turned others down. but someday were going to get access for that diary and it's going to require yet another biography of jimmy carter.

bill casey becomes the director of central intelligence. and the 1st thing he says at the 1st cabinet meeting in the white house and i have an eye witness there and told me this. when we have dish out information so that everything, the american people believe is why we will have achieved our mission. bill casey, a direct quote, shared simultaneous or contemporaneously with people or the washington post. so, you know, i don't know where built case she is. now. she's probably, well, i think, i well anyhow, i don't know. we all know where he is. we all know where you don't have to say, let me go to let me go to robert here. let me go to robert here. robert, i mean, you know, i'm a conservative, you're not obviously, but i mean, when i watch cnn and m s m b, c. i mean, it's one intelligence official after another. i mean, where it's going, greenwald, or aaron, my k. i mean, because they would challenge these things and all i see is, is that i see these networks is just being mouthpiece for, for power and for the intelligence community. like i

good morning, casey. >> bill, good morning to you. the top of the next hour with a state republicans here in texas and more importantly the state senate because both republican and democrat senators elected to stay behind and they are still working. in fact, still voting on bills at the state house here behind me. however, as you know at this point those votes are more symbolic in nature carrying not much weight without the lower chamber's 2/3 quorum present. is texas house is what has come to a grinding halt and if the democrats who fled keep their promise of staying in d.c. through the end of the session early august, texas lieutenant governor dan patrick says they have to return home at some point. >> if they come back to texas they don't come back to the capitol the state troopers will bring them to the capitol. i've held the democrats in the senate. we have a quorum in the senate and we're working every day. >> bill: yesterday vice president kamala harris met with the texas house members. more than 50 of them praising their work

casey, thank you. joining us now, texas governor greg abbott. governor, welcome back to "fox news sunday." >> my pleasure. thank you, chris. chris: let's start with the voting billy was talking about. that became the big issue when democrats were successfully able to block it in a regular session. here is a democratic state legislator. take a look. >> we do not have a voter fraud problem in the state of texas. our secretary of state testified that elections in techs as were safe and secure, the 2020 election was safe and secure. chris: the texas attorney general's office spent 22,000 man hours looking for evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election and they apparently came up with 16 cases, 16, of people filing false addresses on their voter registration. so my question, governor is, is this a problem in search of a solution? >> absolutely not, chris. remember this, and that is before that i was governor, i was the attorney general of texas and i prosecuted voter fraud cases across the entire state and my successor, ken tax upon, has been prosecuting voter fraud across the state including the most recent arrests and indictment taking place this past friday. i h

they fled the lone star state to prevent a vote own the gop's election bill. caseylly the house speaker can send troopers to wrangle lawmakers. they are not in texas, they don't necessarily have jurisdiction in d.c. that is a little gray at this point. however at this point they would be arrested potentially when they made their way back to texas. this is a mess. the house democrats, it is their second revolt as you know against the republican-backed overhaul of the state's election laws but instead of walking off the are floor like they did in may, and staying here in austin, this go around at least 51 of the state's 67 democratic representatives traveled to washington, d.c., many by private planes, skipping town four days into the special session. if their plan goes accordingly there will not be enough members present to conduct any voting to pass legislation, which could bring this special session to a grinding halt. >> one word, hypocrisy. they're using a filibuster to flee the state of texas to plead with the president to do away with the filibuster in washingt

but biden's sweeping bill still on the table. bob caseys willing to take to ensure all of biden's infrastructure agenda makes it through the senate. but first following breaking news out of japan. at least 19 people missing following a massive lalds west of tokyo. dozens of homes and karps in shukza prefecture swept away. the mudslide was began after the area was inundated with torrential rain. look at the pictures. so far at least two people have been found pushed out to sea. however their deaths are yet declared officially. the prime minister is calling for an emergency task force to handle the crisis and rescue efforts. this is the developing story we will bring you updates as soon as we get them. we'll be right back. ...paid her claim... ...and we even pulled a few strings. making it easy to make things right: that's what we're made for. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. get a quote today. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. not all 5g networks are created equal. when it comes to 5g coverage, t-mobile is the best thing

bills. senior correspondent casey stegall has the story tonight from arlington, texas. >> the texas lawmakersnvene a special legislative session called by republican governor greg abbott to address a long list of issues abbott has identified as a priority. >> i was a little surprised that there were so many items put in the initial call. >> they have up to 30 days to tackle everything from critical race theory in schools, social media censorship, border security, plus bail and election reform. >> there are no voter restrictions. we are not rolling back anything. we simply are making sure we have secure ballots. >> the changes to the voting law became so controversial for house democrats they staged a walkout during the final hours of the regular session back in may so the election legislation didn't pass. democrats argue the governor is taking on partisan issues that could bolster his re-election efforts not ones that impact all texans. >> fixing the grid. working on our highway system. working on our justice system. these are things we need to be focused on not just the politicizing and wast

>> bill: thank you, casey. casey stegall in dallas. dana? >> dana: for more on this violence playing out nationwide, we'll bring in a fox news contributor. i just wanted to play some sounds from a man in chicago who is desperate to try and figure out the situation, who is very frustrated by the leadership. take a look. >> violence is an epidemic and it has become the norm in chicago. you have a mayor and superintendent, we are going into the third quarter of the year. just like you are in a super bowl and you see are down 21 points, going into the third quarter you would change her strategy in order to come home with the super bowl ring, right? the mayor is not listening right now. the superintendent, they are not listening. >> dana: a community leader trying to help the community, and it seems like no one is listening to them. >> i have to agree with you, dana and bill. it's very frustrating what's going on in this country right now. we are in an undeclared war between good and evil. meaning, we've got a lot of violence right now, and it's

casey. if it bill is worth it's salt, it should not be links or delinked.that has democratic and republican support. and the white house endorsed it. and it just came out yuds. that the afl and cio both support this so if we can't get this don't we can get anything done. that's not to say it won't come in the future. >> it is pretty classic issues that we heard before. how much traction do you think that will get inside of the republican conference? >> they can study the bill. they can, you know, do whatever they need to, mark it up, that's what legislation is about. put it on the floor. have every single member of the house and senate vote yes or no and go back home to their constituents to answer for their vote. that's the only way to legislate. once we muddy it up, that's when things get very complicated. it's the worst kept secret that if you have a provision that can't survive an up or down vote on it's own, you try to sneak it through with something else. we want our bill that the house and senate block, just to give us a vote, that's all we're asking

. >> bill: thank you, casey stiegel in austin. >> dana: get this, meanwhile seattle mayor is calling the city to rebuild it's police force after a series of shootings that left four people dead and several others injured last weekend. mayor says the department is also down 250 officers. >> we cannot continue on this current trajectory of losing police officers. there are many times and types of 911 calls that require a traditional sworn police officer to respond. it is a false choice between community-led solutions and police officers. we need both. >> dana: a bit different from chop chaz from last summer. she says she will be submitting a plan to hire more police. you use veterans and people with experience. it takes a long time for a police officer to build up that experience. you lose institutional knowledge and experience. they have to be appreciated and backed up by her. >> bill: you start to see the story pop up in some of the political racism part of the country, too. look at california and the recall effort and why crime continues to be a big issue for voters out there and wh

begin a series of votes on that roughly trillion dollar bill to fix up the nation's roads, rails, and waterways. i'm joined now by senator bob casey to see you. i have been following you. i have done a lot of reporting on some excitement about the infrastructure bill in your state. you have said it's time to chart a new course with this infrastructure bill. with the ink not dry, are you satisfied about where you know it stands now, and do you plan to offer any amendments? >> chris, first of all, i think it's important to note that rarely can you get this kind of a consensus around something as substantial as this initiative is, to begin to rebuild the country. i live in a state and represent a state where we got more than 3300 bridges that are in poor condition. and for sometimes a small town, that one bridge connects them with the whole world. it's the bridge the school bus goes over, the bridge the emergency vehicle goes over. so these investments, especially in small towns and our urban areas are absolutely essential. i think it's noteworthy that you have not just a 60-vote number but it got up to 67, and i guess we had one rep

casey matthews is an entertainment journalist following the story for us from los angeles, california. okay, take good to see you again. we just heard bill cosby lawyer there. healing those rolling as a major victory, but will this really be the end of his legal was you know, a lot of the legal analysts have weighed in, and a lot of people are saying he's 83 years old. this ruling pretty much in this part of the case, and i really don't see how any other charges can be brought forth. because even though there are dozens and dozens of women who have come forward stating they all these allegations against bill cosby, the district attorney at the time really didn't feel that they had enough evidence within the statute, limitations to prosecute on any of those allegations or else they would have done it before now. so this seems to probably ended in terms of the, the criminal case that has been launched against them. civil cases. no. those are still on going in factories one by attorney gloria all read. this going to be happening here in los angeles soon, but in terms of criminal prosecution, this does seem to be the end of the road for bill

casey. let's bring in texas lieutenant governor dan patrick. >> bill: any sign of a resolution on this? >> not immediately but it will be resolved, bill. they can't hold out forever. they have families back home. they have jobs back home and pretty soon their wives or husbands will start saying hey, it is time to get back home and when they get home for the special session they'll be arrested, brought to the capitol and we'll pass these bills. you heard in the report the senate i'm the president of the senate and i'm one of the people that helped write this election bill. i know it backwards and forwards. we just keep doing our work. while they've been gone, for example, we passed a bill to get retired teachers a 13th check. that will die because they aren't here. put more money in child protective services. it will day because they aren't here. a property tax cut and they're not here. a lot more going on than just this bill. they said there is power in certain things and they're being called courageous. i call them the liars club because everything they are telling you from the vice pr

bill: we have a long way to go. nice to see you in arlington. caseyvery immigration proposal for the last 15 years and all of them had one thing in common. you secured the border before you provided a pathway to citizenship. >> dana: reaction from lindsey graham on whether to include a pathway to citizenship as part of the 3.5 trillion spending plan. ari fleischer said he has been involved in these for 15 years and still the problem is not solved and it looks like the numbers this year are breaking records and no one is doing anything. >> the many policy blunders that joe biden made starting with misreading his mandate going on a massive non-covid related spending spree that a redistribution of income, threatening tax hikes. the biggest mistake he made was stop building the wall. the wall, of course, is effective. and you are never going to solve the immigration problem if you continue to have people pouring into the country from one end and on the other end for the people here you are trying to wrestle what do you do with those people? you don't have

i'm currently working senator casey to introduce the ready act, disasters act so this bill will support the development of the disaster response and mitigation plans to increase this to provide relevant training and for the state and local government. national advisory committee on individuals with disabilities, it's membership of the disability committee directed the department further people with busybodies during and after disasters. do you believe our bill help ensure older adults and people with disabilities are supported in disaster management and would be helpful? >> i don'tr have the specifics f the bill but i know our staff are working together on the development of this and we are happy to continue to provide technical drafting assistance to help this go through the legislative process. >> i would welcome your help on that. i wanted to get into, does fema have any consideration of these disasters i would require this assistance? >> a fema coordinates closely with fd hs and other members of emergency management committee to increase preparedness and our understanding of the cyb

bill. they all voted for it, every single one. and then by one vote we passed it back on march 6th. i turned to senator caseyy career. it's going to change our country. >> and that's saying something. you had a very, very storied career. how does it feel, senator brown, when you see mitch mcconnell, when you see portman, when you see republican senators basically either bragging or taking credit for policies like this, talking about how policies like this will benefit voters when they consistently vote against it? does it just infuriate you or at this point do you just shrug your shoulders and say that's the status of the opposing party right now? >> i was talking on public radio this morning and i kind of laughed at one point. i said this is going to be something so popular within a couple of years all the rips who voted against it will say it was their idea. i know that's coming. think about how popular social security is. republicans still try to quietly privatize it. but this will be as popular in a year or two. i assume today lots of people in cleveland and akron and all over the state and kent are goin

so, you know, i'm currently working with senator casey to introduce what we call the ready act for disasters act. so this bill will support the development of disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and litigation plans that are inclusive of older adults and people with disabilities by creating a network to provide relevant trainings and technical assistance to state and local governments. it'd also expand the national advisory committee on individuals with disabilities and disasters so that its membership accurately reflects the diversity of the disability community and direct the department of justice to review the extent to which civil rights of people with disabilities and older adults are upheld during and after disasters. do you believe that our bill would help ensure that older adults and people with disabilities are supported in disaster management? do you think it'd be helpful? >> i don't have the specifics of the bill, but i know that our staff are working together on the development of this. we're happy to continue to provide technical drafting assistance to help this bill through the legislativ

bills after democrats ended the regular session in may by storming out. one expected topic for today, voting reform. a warm hot texas, right, casey? by the way can last up to 30 days as long as it takes experts predict it could take that long because just as you said there are a very long list of controversial and hot button issues deemed of importance by greg abbott. 11 of them to be exact from voting reform and election and cover 80 -- integrity to critical race theory, transgender sports, and then of course you have border security, all of these issues are very controversial and democrats have pointed out that one of the larger items missing from governor abbott's agenda is the reform of the texas power grid, something that impacts all voters and not just the g.o.p. base. >> it is to instruct to the electric grid regulator to undertake a series of initiatives. he is saying i'm going to do this through the regulatory process rather than bring this into the legislature. >> now remember the session was called under house democrats staged a walkout in the final hours of the regular session back in may which effectively killed the p
