that is why we will hold them accountable, the rnc is not going to back down.oral process. how much confidence can voters especially republicans have in the federal election commission? 30 seconds to you. >> this action is deplorable and the american people should be concerned but the rnc will fight on the issue of election integrity. we have to make sure people feel secure about their vote, make it easy to vote and harder to cheat. these states are ensuring the security of our elections is something that is critically important moving forward. todd: usually the person who admits something goes to jail, not in this case. jillian: still to come, mike huckabee enjoins "fox and friends first". todd: let's check with what is going on on "fox and friends". >> having trouble sleeping, watching this commercials. hope he took some nexium. coming up the next three hours and 10 minutes as governor gavin newsom survives the recall vote we will hear from business owners who fear his win will encourage more covid restrictions. and senator tom cotton and rand paul will join

the dnc and rnc headquarters are not far from the capitol.oser but to the south of the house office buildings, that's what you see in between the capitol and rnc headquarters, buildings where members of the house of representatives have their offices. leigh ann, tell us more about what we know about this arrest and about what happened here. >> reporter: hallie, this just came in moments ago. 44-year-old donald craighead of ocean side, california, was arrested for possession of prohibited weapons as you mentioned. he had a bayonet in his car, in his truck, i should say and machete, like you said he was pulled over after capitol police spotted something suspicious, which was his truck, which didn't have a license plate, and instead had a picture of the american flag. now, capitol police are on extremely high alert right now, as we gear in to this rally on saturday. the justice for j6 rally, and there's a lot of capitol police who are on duty. no one is taking leave right now, so they are taking every single threat extremely seriously, and i wil

it's just east of where the dnc and rnc. this is a residential area.people have given their surveillance footage to the fbi. the assistant director in charge of the washington field office here, he says they conducted more than 800 interviews. what they glean is it's likely the suspect is not from around this area. it doesn't look like the suspect is from the washington, d.c. area and in the video you can see the suspect has a hoodie and face mask. they released close up pictures of his nike shows hoping it will lead to clues to pinpoint this subject but the fbi having a very difficult time getting to this suspect. these were two pipe bombs that fbi officials have said were viable. they had to be detonated by robot. they were placed one night before january 6th. we learned they were eight inch galvanized pipes nape had kitchen timers and homemade black powder. it's remarkable that these didn't detonate. that these didn't cause any damage and they were found before they went off. they were found on january 6th. we're getting more details from the fbi he

the other was left in the alley behind the rnc. there is also a moment where you can see a car and even a dog walker passing right by the suspect. this is the real stuff that the authorities go through. some of it is harrowing when again we think about the efforts that were made to cause even more destruction and possibility death. meanwhile today in the same sphere of the authorities trying to do accountability is the largest accounts in these probes. the oath keepers facing conspiracy charges and some of the rioters calling their part of the federal jail, quote, "patriot unit," it matters because this relates not only to a few indicted criminals or defendants are doing, some pled guilty, some have not. it matters because we see this believe system in the republican party and on the right. these individuals who are defendants in a criminal process involving violence on tape. now we are being told by republicans, some of them are automatically legally and since they are political prisoners, this is all a sham. that's the premise fo

also joining us our friend, former rnc spokesman tim miller. tim now a writer at-large for "the bulwark" and lucky for us an msnbc contributor. and cecile richards is here, former president of planned parenthood, now the co-chair of american bridge. i wanted to talk to you since this news broke, since it came across our desk, and wonder can we start talking about a woman in texas, maybe spent two years at community college, making her way to ut, found out she's pregnant, she's eight, nine weeks pregnant. what does she do? >> that's exactly the point, nicolle. this law basically a week ago a right that women had for nearly 50 years just evaporated overnight. right now her options are really few. they are to probably go out of state, try to put together the money, the transportation. now most women in texas live about 250 miles away from the closest abortion provider. again, i think that will change because more and more are closing down. and that's the part of the story i feel hasn't been told yet and obviously governor abbott doesn't want to te

you will on the direction of travel that this suspect took as he mee andered around the dnc and the rnceadquarters. the fbi saying that they assessed that he did not live in this area based on his route of travel. but again as you mentioned, $100,000 reward going over over eight months that the suspect has alluded officials thus far. people may be wondering, why does it take so long. i could tell you having worked a lot of bombing cases overseas an the fbi, that law enforcement often suffers from what is called the csi effect, the entertainment industry leads people to believe these cases get solved very quickly. some of this takes years sometimes as you look at devices if a device goes off in itself but it didn't go off and detonated and rendered safe by officials and you could lose a lot of evidence, such as fingerprints and hair fibers an the like. an they're trying to rely on the the surveillance video, if you know the person, call the fbi. >> josh, thanks for your report egg. appreciate it. two teenage phenomes taking the tennis by storm. they both play tonight in the u.s. open fin

the mute button that is referred to originates from an rnc tweet that hones in on a white house feed wait. the rnc fails to point out that the moment is listed on the president's schedule as an out of town pool spray. what does that mean? one, it means my microphone is falling off. is somebody stopping me? no, just a mike falling off. it was planned. here is the point. the press pool following biden comes in briefly for pictures, then they're ushered out. standing operating procedure but the right has been building this lie for months. they'd rather it be something more like this. >> this presidency feels like a never ending silver alert except every day we wake up and realize that this missing senior citizen is actually living in the white house. as the country is being run into the ground but whoever is pulling his strings. you know why people are muting joe biden? joe biden can't talk about this. this is a walking cringe fest. >> this is guy that's clearly not doing well and now joe is clearly getting worse. >> look, it's ludicrous but it's dangerous. again, it was a pool spray an

that becomes really problematic in terms of the ability of the republican candidate to use the rnc or national republican apparatus is not available. but the democrats are bringing elizabeth warren, kamala harris and others to stir the democratic base, but it's already stirred on its own. >> professor taylor from usf is with us. you're saying the swing is in favor of governor newsom. but there's still 13 days remaining. what do you expect that could go wrong for the governor? >> i don't think so. i think republicans are scared and the democrats are going to overwhelm the republicans. we have to finalize the process. i think by the time we get to two weeks there will be no contest with gavin newsom at that point. the republican candidates are already fading and number two, behind newsom is a democrat. larry elder is not really number two. he's like number three as a democrat. this youtuber would become governor of california. >> did i hear you right, you're in your classroom right now? >> yeah, my students. they're like, man, don't be using our class time for something like this. >> we

as reported earlier the rnc did not waste any time.lans to officially sue the administration over mandates. kate ivy who has advocates for her constituents to get vaccinated and one of the people to note this is a pandemic lately of the unvaccinated still called the president's mandate outrageous and overreaching while doug described it in a mandate saying marks another government overreach. dr. fauci defended the mandates last night telling pbs the country exhausted all other options. >> i mean, we've tried everything we can to get people vaccinated. we have the solution within our grasp, within our power. we just need to implement it and that is what the president has said tonight in his speech. that we are going to implement that. if that means more mandates, so be it. >> well, i'm joined now by the governor of arkansas. he's the new chair of the governor association and he's a republican, of course. it's governor asa hutchinson. you came out and also not in favor of mandates and made it clear you're also not in favor of what some o

and again this isn't from the fringes [inaudible] this is from the rnc of washington, d.c.. when you look at the fund raising deals from donald trump and his large scale fund raising and political apparatus, the lean very heavily into all of this anti-vaccine, an anti vaccine mid mandate history. donald trump is selling t-shirts off of. this while thousands upon thousands of new corpses are lining up across america. that is, i don't know if you could figure out a more distinct definition of the horrors of late capitalism, but that is certainly on top of it. >> yes and i think it's important for people to understand these choices of chasing energy, our choices th all kds of eratorand political system or any kind of marketing system will face. it's just a question about how people make decisions for themselves about what they are willing to bear morally. and what their conscience will allow. and i thought that quote about it was great for ratings, was distinct and probably true. they get that this works for that, and that is what they are focused on. above all else. >> i don't

we have the former rnc chair and a former lieutenant governor of maryland, michael steele. former federal prosecutor, barbara mcquade, and "new york times" columnist, michelle goldberg. barbara, i begin with you on the law. it has become common to become quite cynical about everything that happens in the intersection of law and politics in d.c., but i will say in my observation, most administrations are fairly guarded about presidential privilege. they're well aware that their time will come, sooner or later in our democracy, where they're the ex-president and the ex-administration. how unusual is it to hear a blanket announcement like we showed from the lectern today where they say, hey, we're not giving any privilege to this past president, at least on this request for a january 6th material. >> it's very unusual, ari. as you say, i think all presidents are very careful, because they know that they are the guardian of that information, that their day will come, as well. and that they don't just control protecting their own privileged information, but the presidency. it's

this video shows the suspect on a park bench near the rnc headquarters on capitol hill. where they placed an explosive device and another several blocks away at the dnc. the bombs were viable, including galvanized pipes, a kitchen timer, and homemade black powder. officials also say the cell phone that the suspect is seen using offers a clue. >> i think it actually says that the potential is there that someone else was on the other end of that text or that phone. now you have two people involved in this, and potentially more. >> the fbi noted the individual was wearing glasses and looking at street signs. an indication experts say they are not from the area. there is a reward of up to $100,000 for any information leading to an arrest. >>> and protective fencing is expected to be installed around the u.s. capitol again. law enforcement is concerned about potential violence at a rally next saturday. demonstrators intend to show support for those charged for their involvement in the deadly insurrection on january 6th. the "associated press" reported earlier far-right extrem

that does not count the molotov cocktails and the pipe bomb's left outside d&c and rnc headquarters. i get that question a lot. in the wake of senator johnson of wisconsin sing this did not appear to be an armed insurrection, federal prosecutors have specified some numbers of these defendants were specifically carrying guns. host: pennsylvania, this is diana. good morning. caller: i am just mystified after watching the january 6 events. how can we not hold the president responsible for this event? host: have any of the court filings mentioned the president? guest: many of the court filings have mentioned the president but in a different way then she asks. the former president's words have made life more difficult for a lot of these defendants. a lot of them are being held in jail pending trial. like many defendants, they are trying to get themselves released back home until trial. nobody wants to be in jail. they say they will not be a danger to the community, they will not be a threat. we have seen judges specifically say donald trump's continuing denial of legitimacy of the 2020 el

paris dennard is national spokesman for the rnc. you saw the video. when it comes to black conservatives the mainstream media and the democrat party and democrat leaders remain silent on the issue whether it is the way they treated justice clarence thomas, modern-day lynching going to senator tim scott when dick durbin, a token piece of legislation, interning on the heels during the trump years, because of support for donald trump or young man with the maga hat was kicked out of olive garden. the mainstream media is ignoring acts of hostility, aggression and overtly attacking black conservatives and don't denounce it or apologize for it or give it the attention it deserves. it is wrong and should be stopped and gavin newsom should be ashamed of this action and speak out on it. stuart: do you think more black folks are going to be voting republican in the future? i used to ask this before the last election and you assured me the black vote for mister trump at the time was going to be bigger than it was in 2016 but it was the same. do you see any sign t

instead, we have republican leaders, including the head of the rnc.ed to see her calling for further audits and pushing back on maricopa county republicans. i mean it's unbelievable, and that's not the direction we need to be moving. the good thing is it's not too late. let's continue to be focused on fact. that's what we've done at maricopa county. that's what the rest of the republican party needs to do, facts and rule of law. >> we're big fans of facts here at cnn. there are big questions about the future of u.s. democracy here. are you concerned we're witnessing the decline and erosion of u.s. democracy? >> yes, i am, and i've written on this topic. this is not a republican/democrat right/left issue. this is about our democracy. sadly never in our history have our institutions been attacked so much. i'm very concerned that 2022 for the republicans is just going to be attacking elections officials, and that's going to be the path forward. if we do that, we'll continue to sh tear at the foundations of our democracy. it's time to try and win in 2022

"when his decree goes into effect, the rnc will soothe the administration to protect americans and theires." matt walsh's host of the matt walsh show and he joins us to respond. matt, this is like a temper tantrum over afghanistan, the president just taking out his anger on the country, on businesses. how do you see it? >> i think it's interesting that we were assured for four years that donald trump is a tyrant, that he is hitler incarnate. meanwhile he was the least tyrannical president we've had in a very long time with the way that he used his authority. no, we had to election this rotting bag of oatmeal to get a real tyrant. joe biden as you point out, this is not the first time that he has explicitly said he doesn't have the authority to do something legally, and then done it anyway. so we can sit here until we're blue in the face and say he doesn't have the authority to do it. it doesn't matter, he admits he doesn't have the authority to do it and he will do it anyway. all of us as americans have to understand this, as far as they are concerned, the powers that be, the legal justi

bombs had been left at the dnc and rnc. so that night, before we went back in, we were able to arrange for tabitha and hank to get a ride back home, and they were eager to. remember, there was no food or drink there, there was no way anybody could eat, and i think that they were starving and upset and exhausted by the experience. so we sent them home, and it was on the way out when i hugged tabitha and said i'm so sorry , and i promised it would not be like this the next time she came back to the capitol. and she said, dad, i don't want to come back to the capitol. and for some reason, you know, of all the awful things i saw and heard that day, that one really rocked me. it was like when when i saw the pictures of police officers being beaten up and stabbed with american flagpoles, that just ripped my heart out. so they left, and we were there until 3:30, 3:45 in the morning. it took us a long time. there were still gop colleagues who were objecting to the receipt of the votes from some of the states. i think a lot of them

"the washington post," "abc news" polling did include what happened in afghanistan says he shifted in september to approval at 44%, disapproval at 51%. harmeet will shift to the domestic improve the numbers? >> i don't think so. as bad as the afghan crisis of joe biden's making has been, things are not looking that great here in america when he shifts his focus here. we have record unemployment. we have the policies of this administration making it harder for employers like me and others to fill those jobs. we have record inflation, the highest of the last decade. the cost of production is rising. we've had 235,000 people employed which is half a million short of what was expected. we have hundreds of thousands of people being apprehended of the border. over a million since the administration started. we are in a crisis mode wherever you turn. i don't think that focusing on those is going

stormed the capitol, law enforcement is still looking for the person who planted two pipe bombs at rnc and dnc headquarters. the fbi releasing this new video of a suspect sitting on a bench near the democratic national committee on the night before the riot. the new video comes as capitol police are learning of potential violence and unrest at the upcoming september 18th rally in support of the more than 600 rioters who have been federally charged in the insurrection. and a source tells cnn tonight that the capitol police are requesting a smaller version of the fencing that surrounded the capitol for months after the 6th be -- that it be temporarily put back up. >>> president biden set to lay out his six-point plan to end the covid pandemic. we'll preview. that's next. a lot of people think dealing with copd is a walk in the park. if i have something to help me breathe better, everything will be fun and nice. but i still have bad days... flare-ups, (cough cough) which can permanently damage my lungs. my lungs need protection against flare-ups. so it's time to get real. because in the r

and remember on january 6 you had pipe bombs that were recovered at both the rnc and the dnc.f people with extreme views and they do look at the people that were arrested, the insurrectionists arrested on january 6 as somehow being martyrs which is crazy in itself in my opinion. but that is the driving force and i'm concerned about it and i think that everyone needs to take this seriously whether you're in washington or not. law enforcement needs to take it very seriously and really provide? added protection. >> it is just despicable that there are lawmakers out there that will not acknowledge the root of the problem is the lie that the president continues to be spewing about the fraud in the last election. thank you so much for the time. >> thank you. >>> coming up, the taliban announcing a new afghan government. we have breaking details on that in just a few moments. stay with us. stenance for mountg expeditions and long journeys across the world! but most importantly? they give us something to eat when we drink beer. planters. a nut above. when you really need to sleep you

i think the fact that republican governors and the rnc are taking a point against this is just political morons. with the affordable care act, the contraception case, who sued? the little sisters of poor. nobody loves ron desantis or greg abbott. they're hard partisans. the independents are not as moved by them as plaintiffs. >> i think what independents are more like looking at is how covid and the economy are linked in the competence. >> the competence argument. >> if he's competent to wrap up some of these crises, get the economy back where it should be, then maybe the democrats will be in good shape. if he's not seen as competent, well, that's going to be problematic. >> i need to jump in because chris christie is thinking of possibly running for president in 2024, he is now trying to create some real distance between him and the man he endorsed for president in 2016 and 2020, donald trump. take a listen. >> no man, no woman no matter what office they've held or wealth they've acquired are worthy of blind faith or obedience. that's not who i am, and that's not who we are as republica

it is a republican recall backed by the rnc and gingrich and huckabee and knew knees.his is a republican recall. >> reporter: the ability is one shared by voters in 19 states. opponents of the governor collected 1,719,900 signatures after a judge extended the ked line during covid. every voter in california gets mail-in ballot. shall gavin newsom be recalled from the office of governor and who should replace him. up north i checked back with bernadette, living closer was too expensive to the hospital where she works. she sent her son to live with his dad outside of city. person shot. >> reporter: half a mile, 6/10 of a mile away. you're having a tough time? >> um-hum. >> reporter: have you thought about whether or not you want governor newsom to be recalled from office? >> i can't put the blame on him. i think that he should keep his job, this would be something that definitely you know, keep him on his toes in little areas that need more attention. >> reporter: like? >> homeless, covid. >> reporter: in long beach i first met 23-year-old camilla in june and learned abo

against patrick as the democrat and matthew dowd joins me with michael steele, former chairman and rnc of the "michael steele podcast." before we get to your run in texas that lit up twitter this morning, i want to talk about the fact we have these new subpoenas that. we're getting closer and closer to finding out the logistics how the insurrection went down. in your mind, what is the significance of this investigation that we're seeing conducted by this special committee? >> well, it shows, i think it shows clearly, which we all knew that this wasn't a spontaneous event. there was causation involved and they conspired to do this and constructed this. it was a planned event that was facilitated by elected officials, which i actually think that's where we're finally are getting to in the course of this, that this was not just 5,000 people or 2,000 that just showed up because they wanted to do something and just spontaneously went to the capitol. that's, i think, the most despicable part of this is that elected officials and we're probably going to learn a lot of people knew this was bei

the fbi is releasing new video of the suspect who planted live pipe bombs outside both the rnc and dncrters the night before the insurrection in the hopes that someone would have seen him, but let's begin with the president's big speech this afternoon on the coronavirus and nbc white house correspondent kelly o'donnell, nbc's kerry sanders in florida. dr. ashish jha and robert gibbs. we know a lot as your team has been reporting with your speech and what the president hopes to accomplish. >> andrea, this is an opportunity for the president to amplify and magnify some of the issues we've been hearing him talk about throughout his time in office and he's got what they are framing as a six-point plan. some things will be very familiar and some will seem a bit new in terms of how they're expanding their approach. the president is going to try to emphasize that vaccinations were the key. so how to reach out to the unvaccinated and how to protect those who have already been vaccinated when we've seen concerns about breakthrough cases and concerns about the spread of variants and those kinds

elizabeth: rnc saying they can't find visits when he was helping to over the see the border when he wasice president. your reaction? >> this is an easy answer, liz. why isn't kamala harris interested in going down to the border? why isn't nancy pelosi. these are californians. we have ard bother between california and mexico. we have a wall. we have the ability to stop people in california. they don't in the red state of texas. and so this is clearly a red state versus blue state. they're not going to help texas but what they fail to realize is that all of these people coming into the border, skipping the line, beginning we're the most generous country in the world. we want to welcome people but there is a line. all of these people cutting in line are not just staying in texas. they're going to all 50 states. they're getting out of texas. so what the democrats are missing in their partisanship, in order to just give it to a red state like texas, they don't understand that every other state including blue states are also feeling this pressure of illegal immigrants coming into our communit

so we have our attempted capitol hill bomber who placed two incendiary devices in front of the rnc and has not been apprehended yet. in the last few weeks we had an individual who tried to crash his vehicle through the gates and ended up killing a capitol police officer. we had an individual who droefr -- drove up and threatened to blow up a bomb in his vehicle. it looked like he didn't have one, but nonetheless. so this message about rallying for the people who stormed the capitol on january 6 is resonating with that extremist community, and it only takes one person to bring an explosive device or weapons or that sort of thing to a crowd to really turn it into a very violent incident. so we're not out of the woods. >> given your history in law enforcement, does it surprise you that the alleged pipe bomber has not been apprehended? it's just on paper without looking at any of the details, to think that somebody in this day and age could plant devices in washington, d.c. near the capitol at, you know, locations of note and still be out there, it's kind of extraordinary, isn't it? >> it
