[laughter] host: is there a democrat equivalent group to red map and right lines 2020. guest: not that i'm aware of. there are democrat-backed groups focusing on redistricting, but those groups are pushing for nonpartisan redistricting to my knowledge, not specifically on trying to gain party advantage in elections via electoral maps. host: one of the things we talked about earlier was that a lot of these maps end up going to court where someone sues over gerrymandering or just because they do not like the maps. one of our social media followers has a question and wants to know, how much do these lawsuits cost and who pays fo

california gop delegates met virtually today to discuss whether the party should endorse a candidate. they decided against it to members of the republican national committee weighed in on the issue this week, suggesting an endorsement would divide the party and depress turnout. california gop chairwoman jessica milan peterson doesn't think the candidates need help from the party. to have so many fantastic candidates and let the voters decide. the california republican party is a little over 1400 numbers. there's 5.3 million republicans, um, that are out there. so having the candidates go and make the case to california voters while we work incredibly hard on question one and making sure that we recall this governor i put things puts us in a position of strength. ballots for the september 14th election will start hitting mailboxes later this month. voters will be asked two questions. the first asked whether governor newsom should be recalled the second asked voters to pick a replacement if he is recalled. if the majority of voters say yes to recall the replacement candidate with the mo

while you and i are disgusted by this, the gop base isn't. i truly want to believe you're not right about that, but you speak to more republicans on a daily basis than i do. >> ali, specifically i speak to hundreds and thousands of gop base voters. the most committed energetic voters every day. they had no problem with donald trump acting like a strong man for four years. most of the country, when you really think about what tucker carlson did this week, he was over in hungary bashing our democracy for an autocrat. that disgusts you and me but from hearing gop voters, they're perfectly fine with it. ali, i think a lot of people don't realize the scary point we're at. the average republican base voter no longer believes democracy can give them the things they want. so they want a strong man and autocrat to deliver. they love a tucker carlson or donald trump using the force of government, if they have to, to deliver things to them. they no longer believe in democracy. >> i've always enjoyed policy disagreements and arguments with conservatives

will the gop unanimously demand that biden's national security team, blinken clawson, millie, hand in the resignations? >> they all should, they should have already. president biden should have fired each and every one of them but he's not going to do that. he said publicly he's not going to hold any of them accountable for the catastrophe that has occurred in afghanistan so that leaves the job up to us it is the leader of the largest caucus in congress, the republican study committee i tell you right now that if by the end of the month this crew doesn't safely get every american out of afghanistan, we will begin the process to hold each of the failed leaders accountable for their actions before and being a to the catastrophic events already occurred. we oppose sullivan and secretary austin's appointments already and will continue to do that hold them accountable moving forward as well. laura: it is unconscionable the democrats have no interest in policing their own here given the human tragedy unfolding. to your point reuters is reporting late tonight the president biden will decide

base, not to mention the texas gop railing against mask mandates as texas deals is with a new covid texas democrats named in the suit against abbott. tray mardy fisher and ron reynolds. representative reynolds, 22 house democrats filed a federal lawsuit overnight against the governor and texas house speaker. you were one of them. tell me how it came together. >> first of all great to be on your show. the democrat -- my democratic colleagues and i believe that governor abbott is exceeding his authority. there's no penal code we're breaking. none of us are breaking any law. there is no reason for him to threaten us with being able to be corralled when we come back into texas to be hauled into the house chambers to force us to reform. we believe this is another violation of our constitutional rights and the governor exceeded his authority just as he did when he defunded article 10 effectively eliminating the legislative budget so we believe that the court is the only relief that we have to check to make sure that the governor is not exceeding his authority, which we believe that we're
