dagen: ken paxton launched investigation into twitter about the same time about allegedly reporting fakeekeptive trade practices and interesting because the headquarters of tesla has moved down to tesla. there's a break-up fee involved if this deal falls apart. a billion bucks but there are certain scenarios where elon musk can walk away and pay termination fee and leave the transaction behind and only if say regulators block the deal or the debt financing falls through. so if he decides to say so long to this deal, it's going to be a very, very long legal fight. i still think it goes through. maria: regardless of what happened, lee, elon musk has exposed twitter. now we know that there are a lot of fake accounts and robots there and some of those tweets are just not real. >> i mean, i think it's really fascinating to look at what elon musk has done because everybody has been talking about the fake bots. everybody talking about can you trust social media and what's going on in here and he really has in doing this exposed something that everybody has talked about change the way we view so

bryan: the texas attorney general, ken paxton has filed a lawsuit and we'll see where that goes.his fiscal year compared to last fiscal year. 1.2, pretty much 1.3 million border encounters so far this fiscal year, up 73%, almost double what we saw last year and last year was a record. what do you make of the messaging from this administration and what do you think is going to happen over the next three or four months, title 42 still in place, but with this new messaging, mou how do you think this is going to message? >> they can message anything, saying ice can't arrest someone from being here illegally and go back to catch and release and make the promises, people are going to come. the most vulnerable are going to put themselves in the hand of criminal cartels that come to the united states and something griff mentioned i want to-- they say that biden's policies are more humane than trump's, more have died under biden's policies, where is oac and congressmen when a child died under the trump administration, but record numbers dying on u.s. soil and no one is saying anything abo

joining me now is nbc news senior investigative reporter mike paxton bomb and tony payette ski, investigativetatesman. thank you both very much for coming to the sunday show. tony, where's chief are john doe and why hasn't there been a briefing in more than a week now? >> goodness knows he has had every opportunity to explain his actions, to put his us in his footsteps the day of the shooting and walk us through the decisions that he was making and why he was making them. he, so far has declined any interview requests but this comes at a time when not only the public is seeking at answers from him but also the parents of those 19 children and the loved ones of those 21 victims who desperately want and need clarity around what happened. through the years, i've interviewed countless victims of crime and tragedy and one of the things that they frequently say is that the more information they have, the more clarity they have, the more it can help them to begin to make sense of something so unfathomable like this. >> you know, mike, the department of justice is conducting a federal review of the s

and that should have been a red flag for us, but that doesn't exist anymore and greg abbot and ken paxton extreme and so when the texas legislature says that being gay is abnormal and the texas government says teachers who talk about their same-sex relationships and their gay families in class can be punished and they already are in certain school districts in texas, that is the real ominous part for me. the extreme stuff is being operationalized by the actual people in charge in texas and that cannot get lost here. this is not just a few, random, extreme crazy activists. >> matt, this is my question on vigilante enforcement of an anti-abortion, a ban on all abortions in the state of texas on the -- on the sort of codifying the platform the anti-gay rhetoric. it is not anything we've seen really in modern political discourse and to tim's point, mainstreamed. why don't texas business leaders reject these republican politicians. how can you recruit workers to work in a state like texas? >> i think a number of business leaders have gone out of their way and not enough, obviously, to stand up

texas attorney general kim paxton, a driving force behind the creation of the state's cold case unit,een 41, 42 years that no one has been able to touch it or find her or figure out what's going on and how it all happened. >> reporter: donna and debbie know just how rare a reunion like is this but urged the thousands of other families waiting for answers to remain hopeful. >> don't give up. don't ever give up. >> yeah. >> just keep believing in god and his miracles because it does happen. >> reporter: that family, they hope to reunite and meet holly in person very soon, but there's still a lot of questions about her life and we know that after she was dropped off at that church in arizona, that she was adopted. this morning, authorities are saying the couple that raised her are not considered suspects but the criminal investigation still under way. authorities asking the public for help. guys. >> wow, 40 years later but they got that reunion. all right, marcus, thank you. >>> we do want to turn now to murder charges for that michigan police officer who shot and killed the black driver

lauren: absolutely the texas attorney general ken paxton says if twitter falsely reported its fake botccounts, well that's a violation of our state's deceptive trade practices act. so he wants to see documents from twitter about how they calculate their numbers and he wants them by june 27. the investigation in texas is also where tesla, elon's other company, is head quartered so they obviously want to appease elon musk so it's happening the same day he threatened to walk away from his twitter deal so if twitter can't or won't provide the information, or open their books, if you will, or open themselves up to discovery in a courtroom, i mean that could be worse, for their a d business, shareholders, employees who want to stay on with the company, they maybe settling for a lower price deal. stuart: yes, or they maybe, maybe musk wants to walk away from the deal and not pay the billion dollar separation fee. lauren: do you think he wants to walk or get a cheaper price? stuart: i think he wants a cheaper price. lauren: is $39 the price? stuart: the price of the stock right now, 54.20 stoc
