the actual chair of the republican party endorsed a primary challenger to james lankford over this issue. senator lankford was standing up there to object to the electoral votes in arizona when vice president pence was taken off the senate floor. senator lankford is a traitor now inside trump's republican party, congressman, seriously? oh, look. here's what's happened. it's just like donald trump's method, right? the biggest enemy to maga world right now is not even me or liz cheney. it's mike pence, one of the most faithful people to donald trump. if you ever turn an ounce against donald trump, you're out of the tribe. to all my colleagues in politics, let me say this to you. either have to be a zombie for the maga relief system, whether that is today or tomorrow -- it varies every day, based on donald trump's whims, or stand up and fell your constituents the truth. that's what we have to do, tell people the truth. we know what the truth is. the american people and your base deserve to hear it. that's the moment we're in. just this kind of chaotic, people scared to do anything, scared o

congressman, you don't get much more conservative than james lankford, yet the state party chair frommore. lankford, in the end, did not back all of trump's election lies, and that seems to be the sticking point. what does it tell you? >> well, look, first of all, to put it in perspective, there are probably not 200 people in oklahoma who have any idea who the republican state chairman is. when i was in congress, i didn't know who my state party chairman was. so it doesn't mean that. but it does mean, as it often happens, you know, that the small number of extremists who are really fired up can easily take over a party organization. i don't think lankford is in any problem, but it is true that there is a hard core group that are not really interested in public policy. they're not interested in constitutional issues. they're trump loyalists. they believe the lie. and it's happening here in massachusetts where the state party chairman is opposing the republican governor, charlie baker. you know, it's a group of people who just want to keep trump up front, and they also want to disrupt j

this morning there is new cnn reporting about the backlash that republican senator james lankford isheart and vote following the events of january 6th. cnn's lauren fox is with us now. what's happening with the senator? >> well, look, james lankford was one of the lawmakers thinking he was going to challenge those results. and at least two states. but what happened, of course, is he is on the senate floor when the protesters breakthrough the barrier. the senate is evacuate and after that there's several hours where lawmakers are talking in a secure location about what they're going to do next. he is one of the lawmakers who ultimately decided to fight another day on this issue. he was not going to challenge the election results. but back home, that has become the litmus test for whether or not he should be in the senate for another term. and back home he has a primary challenger now in jackson lawmeyer. this pastor in oklahoma who made his entire campaign about the fact that lankford was not there for trump on this important vote. and we should note, trump has not endorsed lankford y

a brand-new report released by senator james lankford of oklahoma, basically summarized it costing taxpayers2 billion to not be building this wall since the month of january. on top of that, basically says we are wasting $3 million every single day, paying contractors to babysit steel in the desert when there's no construction taking place. look at the video we shot right here at the section of the wall in del rio today, a massive group of 250 migrants show up to the gate here today in hopes to being led to the united states. mostly haitians, some from africa, even a guy from india. border patrol let everybody in. they took them all the way and ship them away in the area of the processing centers where many of them are going to be released. to to appear in court. showing video to the people who turned themselves in, not always the case. the texas trooper, he's going to pull over a human smuggler. when he approaches the vehicle is going to florida and take off. you'll see that the true britons are pursuing the vehicle down to the road. a ton of immigrants to start stirring out of the vehicle

james lankford, all he did was change his mind on not certifying the election in the hours after thelent january 6 insurrection, and now he's a target of his own party in his state. is that gop rescue plan toast? >> i think the fact that you and i can name those members on one hand is proof that it's not much of a movement. i don't want to minimize the courage it takes for those members to stand up and say the truth, but i don't think there is a ground swell of support, and i don't think the tide is turning for the party. cpac, the second one, is coming up this weekend, and if you look at the agenda and the folks that are being highlighted there, none of them are in this so-called moderate wing of the party which really just says things that are true. i don't think, i don't think they're going to have much support in the coming year as the gop has decided to double down on the insanity going into the midterms. >> it's remarkable, right. it is truly remarkable. s.e. cupp, i'm sure we'll keep talking about it. thanks very much. >> thank you, jim. >>> well, president biden is standing h

james lankford interrupted and incomes whispers and everyone starts moving quickly. everyone gets out. the house, at the same time, continued in session for several more minutes and part of the reason was because paul go saar was still airing his grievances of the big lie on the house floor objecting to the ceding electors in his own state. >> in arizona, mail-in ballots were altered on the first day of counting and has been concluded by data analysts. over 400,000 mail-in ballots were altered, switch from president trump to biden, and they were erased from president trump's total. >> there, those are lies, we know that. congressman gosar as the mob is coming closer, spewing lies about the election and his spewing of those lies in those moments you saw they're delayed everything. by the time the house finally goes into recess, six minutes after the senate, to 19, it is basically to light. the rioters, the violent mob are forcing their way further into the building, and that's why unlike the senate the members are in the chamber. they put on gas masks, they take off t

senator, james lankford in oklahoma.enger, his whole campaign, it's based on the fact that senator lankford did not vote in the senate to overturn the presidential election results to try to keep trump in power. it's not surprising for a rampant trump supporter to be priming him for that purpose, but perhaps it is surprising that the oklahoma truman is endorsing that challenger against the sitting republican senator from oklahoma. the chairman of the state party is endorsing the challenger. the challenger is challenging lankford, specifically because he didn't vote to overturn the election. the state party is on board with that, lankford got to go. this weekend, it happened again. sitting republican senator lee mcal ski up for reelection in alaska. she said he shouldn't voted to impeach trump over the january 6th attack. murkowski should've overturn the elections in the senate to keep trump in power. again, perhaps it's not surprising that lisa murkowski is facing a trumpy thing like that in alaska. she tried to endorse

senator james lankford of oklahoma interrupted mid-sentence. an aide comes and whispers in his ear, and everyone starts moving very quickly. you see that? everyone gets out. the house at the same time continued in session for several more key minutes, and part of the reason was because paul gosar was still airing his grievances of the big lie on the house floor, objecting to the seating of electors in his own state. >> in arizona, as my attachments make clear, mail-in ballots were altered on the first day of counting as shown in data graphs we provide. and it's concluded by data analysts. over 400,000 mail-in ballots were altered, switched from president trump to vice president biden or completely erased from president trump's totals. >> there, those are lies. you know that. there was not 400,000 votes flipped. as the mob is encroaching and coming closer, spewing lies about the election. and his spewing of those lies in those moments you saw there delayed everything. and so by the time the house finally goes into recess, six minutes after the s
