there's a lot left up to the states in the 1787 constitution and i just want to point out cool as the united states moves into the early 19th century and of course at the end of the 18th century states are being added to the union and their provisions of the constitution to allow for the addition of new states and they have republican forms of government and they have to be approved by congress and so we are seeing states like ohio and illinois alabama louisiana all join this union and of course with westward expansion this land is being taken from native americans and many native americans are resettled by the united states government and reserve territories in oklahoma. one of the nations that is removed as the choctaw nation largely based in what is now mississippi and one of the interesting things that the choctaw nation does is after they are forced to be removed from their original homeland and move to what is now oklahoma they write their own republican form of government right down to the constitution that is very similar to the federal constitution and the other specific word about

that's what the united states constitution says. ey don't say that the states determine what the rules are, they say state legislatures what the rules are. chris: the states certified. >> they didn't follow the legislative rules. at the end of the day, are we going to follow what the constitution says or not. i hope we get back to what the constitution says. clearly in a number of states they didn't follow the legislatively passed rules. chris: you think the election was stolen? >> what i said is there are states that didn't follow their legislatively set rules. that's what the united states constitution says. and i think there are a lot of people that want us to get back to what the constitution says. we should be doing, not just with elections, with a lot of other things too and there's some people that want to just ignore what the constitution says and do their own thing. that's been a debate that's been going on in this country for a long time. chris: do you -- >> why don't we get back to the kuhns tuesday, we won't -- back to th

united states of america. in fact, this is the end of sovereignty. not just of this nation, you know, in terms of our borders, but in terms of our own sovereignty. what is the united states constitutionument in the world that actually enshrines god-given rights and protect them with a document that is written by man. and what they've done here is it eviscerates the constitution. it has been obliterated in one motion like this. and they are given legal rights to people who are in the united states illegally while they obliterate the law, and that is by design. you will remember from the very beginning, what i have said, when you look at the border in the aministrations policies they have never taken a single action to acknowledge a crisis, to change the outcome, and to see -- acknowledge this as illegal.n why? because for them this is not a crisis. it is not illegal. they removed that anguish even from the lexicon, and they have obliterated the immigration agencies. they have abolished ice without abolishing ice. just like obama said, wethyen shouldn't have used the words defund the police.e. why was that? because then you will know what they really intend to do. and that's what they'

that's what the united states constitution says. 't say the states determine what the rules are, they say the state legislatures determine -- >> chris: but the states all certified. >> but they didn't follow those legislative rules. at the end of the day, are we going to follow what the constitution says or not? i hope we get back to what the constitution says. but clearly a number of states didn't follow those legislative rules. >> chris: so you think the election was stolen? >> what i said is there are states that didn't follow their legislatively set rules. that's of the united states constitution says. i think there are a lot of people who want to get back to what the constitution says. not just with elections, but with a lot of other things. and some people want to ignore what the constitution says and do their own thing. that's been a debate going on in this country for a long time. why don't we just get back to the constitution? >> chris: and there are people out there, there was a rally for president trump yesterday and a num

that is what the united states constitution says. they don't say that the states determine what the rules are. they say the state legislatures determine the rules. >> but the states all certified -- the states all certified. right. but at the end of the day, are we going to follow what the constitution says or not? i hope we get back to what the constitution says. but clearly, in a number of states, they didn't follow those legislatively set rules. >> so you think the election was stole -- stolen? >> what i said is there are states that didn't follow their legislatively set rules. that's what the united states constitution says. >> do you think the election was stolen? >> and it's not just irregular -- it's states that did not follow the laws set which the constitution says they're supposed to follow. when you see states like georgia cleaning up some of the mess, and people calling that jim crow law, that's a flat-out lie. >> he simply could not say what election officials in 50 states certified in 60-some-odd court cases reaffirmed.

the first principles of things like the declaration of interpens and the united states constitution -- independence, the united states constitution, rule of law, federation of powers, limited government. free markets. private property. intellectual property. freedom of the press. and freedom of the speech. i think we have always known those kind of principles, they are hard fought. they are not automatic. you have to continuously explain them, defend them, seek to vindicate them, and try to influence those who have the job and task of implementing them. we have seen certainly in the freedom of speech come under some attack. we see that for communication services, very important, it's very important to us that freedom of speech remain becauso be a free person. to be free people. technologies of freedom. not for coercion or social control. and it's important because not just simply trotting out the constitution in on a slogan or banner for protests, it's important, absolutely important as that is for flesh and blood people, to see that through the policy and implementation stage, even i

question, can the united states government go into court and sue the state of texas because the state of texas had stripped away individual rights protected by the united states constitution you see the united states in its briefs and the department of justice relying on some older cases. this is not something frequently happens. it does happen. it happens in ways that the court recognized that the united states has equitable rights. one that's long recognized by federal courts in this country that the united states can go into its federal courts to protect the constitutional rights of its citizens and that's what the department of justice is saying it has to do here. that's a top argument not because it's conceptually difficult. it's being made in courts that are tending as we have seen in other cases, challenging as the texas abortion law. and allow it to adopt and force this unconstitutional ban on abortion. i think it is a well rooted argument but it's one that faces particular challenges because of the differences the courts have given on the state on this issue. >> let's listen to dr. jermish about her experience with one patient. >> the first patient who i saw afte

constitution. >> this is about the sovereignty of the united states, the end of sovereignty. not just of this nation in terms of our borders but our own sovereignty. the united states constitution is the only document in the world that enshrines god-given rights and protect them with a document that is written by men. what they have that is in disarray the constitution. it has been liberated in one motion like this and they are giving legal rights to people who are in the united states illegally while they obliterate and that is by design. >> border counties are taking matters into their own hands by suing president biden accusing him of failing to enforce our laws. todd: republicans demanding to know why anthony blinken missed a reversal of the afghanistan withdrawal in may. jillian: stranded evacuees touches down safely. >> reporter: the afghan story continues to churn they more metal the story probing, and the evacuation of over 124,000 us citizens and afghans from kabul airport brought many to safety of others call it hasty annual plans which is why senator cotton is tweet

and the united states constitution, which of course, is a pretty big hill to climb up on. but in essence, what they've done in texas is to make it incumbent on private citizens and to empower them to, to file a lawsuit against abortion providers. and so it a seem on face value itself perhaps in conflict. but senate bill 8, which is the texas law in texas, would argue that it isn't and that they have the right to do it. but of course the justice department hasn't talked to them and they have sought a declaratory judgment. and their argument is that, in fact, it does violate the supremacy clause and the amendment of the us constitution. when you say the protests that have happened today, shared numbers, right across the united states, do you feel it will make a difference in the, in that the supreme court, but justices at state level will hear this? well, you know it. so i do think it will make a difference as far as the dialogue and as far as continuing to keep attention on the subject matter of course, and for all of those who are passionate about it. but will it make a di

it is in direct violation of the united states constitutional. in 2005, photo identification requirement was enforced by president carter. in the wake of these endorsements, states like indiana started passing voter id laws. it is common sense, nondiscriminatory protection. i led that passage and implementation of the first voter id law. he became a model for the nation. -- it became a model for the nation. it is constitutional and common sense. s-4 would likely put indiana into a preclearance status. s-4 is a clumsy and heavy-handed effort. if s-4 becomes law, i will seek all legal remedies possible to protect our elections and the right of americans and i am confident other states will join. americans must know that there is confidence and common sense in our election processes and yet any power grab like this seeks to undermine the american people's confidence in our election. we don't need to do this. we should not do this. americans will not allow this radical power grab to move forward, and i will be on their side. thank you. >> thank you. a

experiment in constitutional democracy is not limited to one moment by having that long timeframe in its geographical, the geographical slope of the exhibit expands all corners of the united states ultimately, that's really cool i was there myself and it's very important we will talk about it it's only place the constitutional making is going on. and in small towns and places all over the country this was going on. i think the exhibit tries to make that point. finally all of this related and it tries to make the point that the constitution making is that something done by a small handful people, what happened a couple of blocks away from where you are the constitutional convention in 1787, we will talk about it, often you can kind of get sucked into thinking what is the only really important constitutional discussion that ever took place in the united states history, in fact with the exhibit shows the huge numbers of americans that have engaged in this collective activity throughout the country's history, not just a handful of people but i cast of thousands, millions ultimately. their handiwork is on display in the exhibit. that serves as a big framework for all the stuff we're

is -- >> our united states constitution requires every ten years that america counts every human being in the united states, which is incredibly important for many reasons. it's important for preliminary representation because if -- political representation because if we under count california, we get less representatives in congress. it's important for san francisco because if we don't have all of the people in our city, if we don't have all of the folks in california, california and san francisco stand to lose billions of dollars in funding. >> it's really important to the city of san francisco that the federal government gets the count right, so we've created count sf to motivate all -- sf count to motivate all citizens to participate in the census. >> for the immigrant community, a lot of people aren't sure whether they should take part, whether this is something for u.s. citizens or whether it's something for anybody who's in the united states, and it is something for everybody. census counts the entire population. >> we've given out $2 million to over 30 community-based organizat

question, can the united states government go into court and sue the state of texas, because the state of texas has stripped away individual rights, protected by the united states constitutionou see the united states in its brief, so the department of justice in its briefs, relying on some older cases, this is not something that frequently happens, but it does happen, and it happens in ways that the courts have recognized, and in ways that the courts have recognized that the united states government has an equitable right, a general equitable right, not written in the constitution, not written in federal statute. but one that has long been recognized, by federal courts in this country. that the united states can go into its federal courts, to protect the constitutional rights of its citizens. and that's with the department of justice's saying it has to do here. that's a tough argument, not because it's conceptually difficult, that's kind of the promise, at the very core of our constitutional. seen it's a tough argument because whereas to be made. it has to be made in the, circuit may actually be made in the supreme court. it's the made in courts that are attending is seen i

broader principles or the first principles think of the declaration of independence and the united states constitutionthe rule of law and separation of powers and limited government, free market, private y,property, intellectual property and we have always known those kinds of principles are hard-fought, not automatic you have to continuously explain them and defend them into influence those who have a job and the task of implementing them wewe have seen in the freedom of speech, under some attack and for communications services is very important that freedom of speech remains what it means to be a free person and free people and not for coercion or social control not just trotting off the constitution but to see that through with the policy and implementatione state even in modern technology if you do that and host events with people of different views of freedom of speech you have that respect the balls to all people. i'm grateful for you you have a terrific boss, randy. i family is thankful for you we pray for the family. thank you.

responsibility, to subvert and evade the laws of the united states and the constitutionthe united states. but i think we also need to look at something, we are looking at an ongoing coverup led by the republican party to keep the people of the united states from knowing what the hell happened in these terrible moments in which the president of the united states, for the first time in our history, tried to subvert a legal and free election. and now we are heading toward the next election in which these same forces are planning to subvert the election. so we are in a constitutional crisis. >> you know, you have chairman durbin saying we were a half step away -- >> we're in it. >> you think we're in it. >> we're in it, because look toward the next election. look at what has happened already. and look at the country itself. the most significant thing, perhaps, is not just the coup attempt and the coup by the president of the united states and the republican party going along with it, but almost half of the adults -- adult voters in this country, from all of the polls and wha

the first principle, things like the declaration of independence and the united states constitution. the rule of law, separation of powers, litigated government. free markets, private property, intellectual property, freedom of speech. we've always known that those kind of principles are hard-fought. they are not automatic. you have to continuously explain them, defend them, vindicate them, try to influence those who have the task of implement in them. and the freedom of speech, we've seen it come under attack. for communication services, it's important to us that freedom of speech remains. it's what it means to be a free person. these are technologies of freedom, not for coercion or control. it's important not just because of the constitution. it's important. even in the details, even in the modern technology. when you do that and host events which you court people with different views, you are sending to them the kind of respect that belongs to all people and all free people. it's very important as we continue our work. i look forward to continuing network. randy, i am grateful for

the most important accomplishments of the republican party was the 14th amendment of the united states constitutionm public office anyone who has supported an insurrection such as what happened during january 6th at the capitol, january 6th. donald trump is disqualified from public office under section 3 of the 14th amendment, and the justice department needs to appoint a special prosecutor to prosecute everyone involved in the events of that day. we should not have to deal with his candidacy in 2024. >> we'll see if that step is taken. ambassador norm eisen, richard painter, thank you to both of you and for the bipartisan work you're doing. >> thank you. >> thanks, jim. >>> new details about the terrorist who killed 13 americans in the deadly bombing at the kabul airport. why he was released from prison just days before the attack. that live report is next. when you watch a chef do it, they don't rush through this stage. few of us will ever dive so deep into our cars, but those who do venture down into the nuts and bolts... when you wake up and face a challenge, you have to give all of yourself wh

the election's clause to the united states constitution does make clear that time, place, and manner elements of our elections should be done by the state, states should make the rules, and congress can change them. he says states didn't follow their own laws. one, it's not about the constitution. don't wave it around like that makes you a patriot. you're lying. lying is what is a judgment on your patriotism. and more importantly, him saying states didn't follow the laws just because you saw it a lot does not make it true, and it is not true according to the state officials who all certified including gop officials in key states. this is not about the law. it is not about the constitution, and it is not about the facts. conversely, it is about making those things not matter. they took liz cheney's position. but she still has a voice and she tweeted the truth. millions of americans have been sold a fraud that the election was stolen, liz cheney says. and republicans have a duty to tell the american people that is not true. their only duty, apparently, is to win. how else to explain a

there is the supremacy claus of the united states constitution which poses a problem for the governoral law and state law conflict, federal law trumps. he is in big trouble. >> of course, as you told me before, there is a major supreme court case on the record allowing vaccine requirements. that's out there too. what is driving this then? >> i think it's politics. he is playing politics with public held. we've seen him do it with schools. also, remember, he has a primary challenge that's going to be really tight here. we've seen his opponents trawling him about this. we've soeen allen west, who had covid himself, saying he doesn't believe in vaccine mandates. his other primary challenger congratulated him for this order. that appears to be what is driving it. but he's playing a really dangerous game. kids are going to become sick and die because of this. he is extending it to private business owners. >> it puts businesses in a bind. >> yeah. but it's also pretty rich coming from, as you pointed out in your intro, a conservative who labels himself as pro-business, right? i mean, this i

the plumbing of the electoral college and the complicated system by which under both the united states constitution, the 12th amendment and the electoral count act as well as state law. you get there sort of transmission from the votes go in and the president comes out over here. >> right on the front lines of trying to reduce the vulnerability and it's important to do that. even if voting rights are fully protected and people get to vote and their votes are not audited out of existence, we still have a lot of plumbing to go through and after people vote, there are a will the of processes by which those who really have no respect for law or for the constitution can turn the system inside out and upside down. that's why people like me are quite vigilant about making sure we do everything we can to prevent a bloodless coup from taking place even before another insurrection. >> that's why the states are so key here. we know that part of the plan laid out by trump and some of his lawyer, eastman being one of them as well as jeffrey clark was, i think, thinking about this at the department of justice. i

i feel the united states constitution, the philly buggser is nowhere in there. so this is simply doing what we have to do in the year 2021 to pay lou the senate to function better and get the work of the american people done. >> senator, i know you said you thought the urgency was there. i might argue your constituents if california, that may be true. they went through a recall. it's a little more front of mind i think for california. but what do you make of the fact that a majority of americans told a pollster that they've heard enough about about january 6th. that was a little uncomfortable to read. >> you know i saw your private segments. i think it touches both ways. maybe there are so many republicans that will just follow trump without question. that lead to a big number of they already know enough already. but there is a whole heck of a lot of democrats who know all they need to know already to know donald trump and his enablers were absolutely responsible for the daily insurance in the nation's capital january 6th. we have to go through this process to h

that's what the united states constitution says. >> do you think the election was stolen or not? he election was stolen? >> it's states that did not follow the laws set which the constitution says they're supposed to follow. >> let's get some perspective now with cnn political commentator and former republican congressman charlie day. good morning, charlie. always great to get your thoughts on things. as we watch steve scalise squirm out of repeatedly telling the truth, the fear of crossing trump is evident. it's on his face. and it strikes me that he's someone who was the victim of political violence. he survived being shot by a crazed fanatic. does he not appreciate the danger of peddling the big lie and not telling the truth? >> well, let me first say, boris, steve scalise is a friend, but it was painful for me to watch that. it's also embarrassing that leaders in the house and congress are afraid of a small segment of population that refuses to deal in reality. i suspect that he hand the other leaders saw what happened to liz cheney when they pushed back on the big lie, when t

that's what the united states constitution says. >> do you think the election was stolen or not? i understand you think there were irregularities and things that need to be fixed. do you think the election is stolen? >> it's states that did not follow the laws set, which the constitution says they're supposed to follow. >> it's just phony bologna nonsense. >> it's much more than that. trying to undercut and undo the constitution is disgusting. it's pathetic. scalise knows better and he's a coward for not being willing to say it. >> what scalise is doing though, jim, let's not lose the lesson, scalise is representing the views of republican primary, self-identified republican primary voters who i have seen in focus group after focus group say there were probably voting irregularities. and they start to use the term the constitution and undermining the constitution as shorthand for something that was unfair to donald trump. and so we're actually not talking about the constitution. but this is what a solid part of the republican party, the base of the republican party believes. and s

that is what the united states constitution says. >> do you think the election was stolen or not? i understand you think there were irregular lair ates and things need to be fixed. do you think it is stolen. >> it is states that did not follow the laws set which the constitution said they are supposed to follow. >> and it is an easy question to answer yes or no was the election stolen. the fact of the matter was it was not. that some 60 cases went through the courts that were challenged to the election that judges found that it was one of the safest elections that we have seen here in the united states. so again, the big lie continuing to be pushed, victor and alisyn, and here we are getting closer to 2022 and this next election cycle. house republicans and senate republicans looking to take back the majorities here on capitol hill and what that means is we're going to see likely a lot of tap dancing like we just saw from steve scalise where he's not willing to say out right, no, that is a lie, because he knows that former trump has convinced so many americans that this is true. an
