the presidential commission on election integrity with good old chris coback as the vice chair.capacity, he has gone to work. he signed and sent a letter to the top election officials in all 50 state this is week. here it is. he would like all of the secretaries of state across country to send him, quote, the full first and last names of all registrants, meaning registered voters and middle names or inishls and address and date of birth and political party, the last four digits of social security numbers and voter history and active or inactive status and canceled status information regarding any felony conviction and information regarding voter reg administration in any other state and information regarding military status and over seas citizen information. also everything everybody had for lunch yesterday in your state plus their inner most thought and plus everybody's bra size. put that list up there again. send the trump administration -- hello, secretary of state in x state, send the trump administration all of this information on every single person registered to vote in y

. >> when it comes to the other issue going on with chris coback leading this voter fraud investigationm kansas and will basically buck his own request that went to the other states that they are trying to investigate for social security numbers and personal information. explain the confusion around this. >> in some ways this was the trump administration's answer to the russian interference question with all that talk of how did the russians interfere in the election and conservative republicans were saying there was voter fraud they believe the president tweeted about perhaps a few million votes improperly cast. to look at the integrity of the voting system, the president created this commission. part of the commission is to look at voter irregularities to try to assess what happened. they have asked all the states to provide voter registration information. that's public information that's publically available. the kind of stuff when we register to vote would contribute. this is a states issue. two dozen states say we won't turn this over. democrats say it could be a means of voter sup

it's telling that kansas, chris coback, is leading this, and even his state's not turning over all the information. it shows, again, goes back to priorities and the narrative the trump administration wants. >> from the "washington examiner," thanks for coming on. we'll see you in 20 minutes. >>> ahead, a government shutdown has new jersey parks and beaches closed for the holiday. look who did get to the beach. what chris christie says about his family's day in the sun ahead on "early start." strong muscles, all in one. highly digestible, and a taste he loves, all in one. purina one smartblend is expertly blended... with 100% nutrition, 0% fillers, always real meat #1. lifelong smart nutrition. it's all in one. purina one. lash sensationall! full fan effect mascara from maybelline new york. our unique fanning brush reveals layers of lashes for the sensational full-fan effect. lash sensational mascara. make it happen ♪maybelline new york so, your new prescription does havoh, like what?ffects. ♪ you're gonna have dizziness, ♪ nausea, and sweaty eyelids. ♪ and in certain cases chronic flat

in fact, just before we came on, i saw a story that chris coback cannot produce associate numbers demandedause this would violate the kansas law. this has not been well thought out. not only do we not know what the information will be used for, it doesn't appear the information can be legally provided by the united states. >> so chris kobach can't provide the information himself. >> seems to be. >> sreenivasan: there seems to be a lot of focus on protecting the integrity. i don't see any description about russian meddling that might have happened. >> it's not clear exactly what the commission is going to do. initially the president said he wanted to look at the potential for voter fraud. a couple of democrats on the commission said they wanted to look into russian meddling. kobach said he might be willing to look at that but that wasn't on the list of questions sent to various officials. i'm concerned it's going to be something that is going to try to support the president's agenda, claiming voter fraud and making it harder for people to register to vote. >> sreenivasan: is this the kind o

. >> when we talk about what chris coback is saying there and he's saying that most of this is all public data in eway, is that true or entrue? >> he's been flip-flopping all over this. first he asked every state to give him all the data including the last four digits of all voter's social security numbers. then in his role in kansas, he said oh, no, we can't do that. now he's out there saying, you know, this is all out there and it's not. people's social security numbers are very serious. and this is why you've seen states across the spectrum say no, we are not going to give them this data. right now, my state has not. that has us very, very worried. >> the premise of all of this is founded on the fact that the president, you know, suggested that millions had voted illegally. but right now we have a look at the state's as you talk about maryland also involved in this, refusing to turn over information. the states that are undecided on this, they're ones -- we have a full screen on this, if we can put this up, about which ones are refusing, which ones are the ones that are potentially que

. >> the commission is led by kansas secretary of state, chris coback. he only wants the data to fully analyze issues related to voting. democrats fear there's more to it. >> we will not let donald trump and his extremists use this as some covert plan to get data to make it harder for people to >> this is not just states run by democrats. utah, and even the vice president's home state of indiana are against it. the governor of mississippi said the commission can quote, jump in the gulf of mexico. pete muntine, wusa 9. >> this long holiday weekend, you might be sharing the world with a cold-blooded killer. the person who gunned down a fellow driver on the beltway. the victim was adriana of upper marlboro. he was shot behind the wheel near the pennsylvania avenue exit. and now instead of celebrating the fourth, his family is planning a funeral. >> road rage, they think it may be road rage. whatever the case may be, we don't know. on the day, no god knows and we hope he has a conscious and he comes forth. >> prince georges county police are asking people to
