knockout and the only way to do that is to carry the war north of the potomac into pennsylvania where they are able to cause so much political disruption in dismay that the northern populace and the northern politicians become disenchanted with the lincoln administration and compel the lincoln administration to peace negotiations. he pursues that two times and he would have he would have pursued it a third time in 1864 if ulysses s. grant had not beaten him to the punch by launching the overland campaign in 1964. beyond that he saw himself as a day-to-day manager. he was willing to assume a lot of responsibility into the hands of his chief lieutenants and he has chief lieutenants who are up to the job like stonewall jackson and james longstreet said he was able to preside over the hearings with significant success at other times though when jackson is dead and one longstreet is seriously wounded in the wilderness he has to take charge himself on the tactical level and it's very clear that he's not comfortable doing that. he can do it but he's is not comfortable doing it. in terms of s

here's an idea of what the pennsylvania congressman has done in his time in congress. he is the incoming leader of the freedom caucus and led efforts to overturn pennsylvania's electoral vote for joe biden. he voted against awarding congressional gold medals to the officers who defended the capitol on january six. and he is one of 18 house members to vote against the resolution condemning the conspiracy theory group, qanon. meanwhile, the new york times is reporting that the january six committee is examining if there is a enough evidence to send criminal referrals to the justice department for donald trump. the times reports, quote, investigated for the committee are looking into whether a range of crimes were committed including two in particular. whether there were wire fraud by republicans who raised millions of dollars off assertions that the election was stolen despite knowing the claims were not true. and whether mr. trump and his allies obstructed congress by trying to stop the certification of electoral votes. with all that, let's bring in our lead off guests

and are being considered by the republican state legislature in pennsylvania. so secretary hobbs and commissioner schmidt, can you describe how these republican driven sham audits differ technically from the professional, standard-driven audits that are required in many jurisdictions? and how they might also be impacting voter confidence? >> senator, i don't know that there is enough time left in the day left to do that. i would say that in arizona the results were certified, litigated and legitimately audited according to the law. and what we saw was absolutely not a real audit. it detracted from transparency -- there were lapses in security. every other professional auditing, senator, that you would see in place was not there. and overseen by people with an entirely partisan agenda. >> thank you. mr. schmidt? >> as a former senior auditor, i believe strongly in the importance of audits when they are legitimate and real and when carried out by qualified people who know something about auditing and something about elections. that is not what we have seen today.

you might not be familiar with republican representative scott perry of pennsylvania. he's been a member of congress since 2013, but he's largely flown out of the radar despite saying and doing things that are often beyond the pale. just in the last year, he opposed a measure condemning the q-anon conspiracy cult and voted against a bill to protect asian americans amid a rapid rise in hate crimes during the pandemic and just last week he made antimuslim remarks on the house floor during a debate about a bill to combat islamophobia. but the track record of unsavory actions starts earlier than that. in 2017 perry falsely accused a pakistani house staffer of stealing government seeks. he downplayed the devastation in puerto rico following hurricane maria and speculated an isis connection to the 2018 mass shooting in las vegas when it was in fact domestic extremism by a white man but perry's actions around january 6 nath arguably deserve the greatest scrutiny, perry introduced donald trump to jeffrey clark who went on to become a justice department figure and a key figure

most counties in the commonwealth of pennsylvania don't have that. they might have one part time solicitor. they certainly don't have the access to resources that we had in philadelphia so, you know, relatively compared to them it is almost embarrassing to be the person sharing this with you today because i'm sure many of them were not as well protected as i was. at home we installed a comprehensive home security system. and made other investments to protect our home from -- from people like this. >> okay. thank you. mr. henderson, could you just comment briefly on the importance of strong federal protections for election workers like those in the federal -- in the freedom to vote act? >> yes madam chair. as we've heard from both secretary hobbs and commissioner schmidt, the courage that they have demonstrated in carrying out their responsibilities should not become the standard by which election administrators are measured. how can we possibly expect individuals regardless of party affiliation to come to the american people's by serving under threat

in pennsylvania every county in the commonwealth conducts an audit after each election. in most counties, including ours, we conduct a secondary audit that is even more comprehensive on top of that. and the nexus between your question, the audits -- or the -- the so called audits and the threat issue are i know in my experience and many other, the threats died down after election day, after the new president was sworn in. now that the legislature's talking about instituting some sort of bogus audit in the commonwealth of pennsylvania, they return. so this level of activity rises and falls, it spikes and decreases whenever there is sort of this comprehensive misinformation and disinformation effort. both around election time and now around audits as well. >> thank you, both. and let alone from what i understand in arizona, the, what otherwise would be unauthorized access to the actual voting systems themselves and what that portends for future elections. so secretary hobbs, as you said, we don't have enough time in the day. thank you, madam chair. >> thank you very much s

pennsylvania has a critical senate race on the 2022 calendar. could steven and danielle lindemuth be part of the republican party's plan to win in pennsylvania by any means necessary? anyone on the right it seems has a role to play no matter how small when it comes to overturning democracy. look, we know this much for certain. mr. lindemuth's victory in november in this conservative rural community is a milestone of sorts in american politics. the arrival of the first class of political activists who galvanized by donald j. trump's false claim of a stolen election in 2020 have begun seeking offices supervising election systems they believe robbed mr. trump of a second term according to a may reuters poll, more than 60% of republicans now believe the 2020 election was stolen. a percentage as ridiculous as it is scary. it's becoming clearer with each passing day that many members of trump world will stop at nothing to win. we also learned this week that trump's attorney and former traffic court lawyer jenna ellis wrote two memos in the week before

and in pennsylvania for example 100 percent of the funds go directly to law enforcement. directly to the people who are making decisions who will seek forfeiture. and as the prosecutor's offices grow and spend money on lots of things that are totally unrelated to the safety of our citizens. we must direct funds away from these forfeiture friends and directly to the treasury where there is general accountability and much more transparency where we have a sense of exactly the data underneath all of the forfeitures what are those for? who is being impacted and how is the money spent? are people being charged with a crime or not? and certainly our experience on the local level has really confirmed all of the things that have been discussed here today that reform is so desperately needed. >> would it be okay if the other question is answered? >> yes. i would be happy to address that. law enforcement likes to say they are only enforcing the law they don't make law. but the dirty little secret of forfeiture reform is the only entity opposed is law enforcement and it's a powerful

that is what leads him into pennsylvania. your neck of the woods. it is where he always wanted to go but kept getting rebuffed but eventually gets into a fateful battle there. there was one moment in the book that jumped out at me where lee is criticizing the behavior of the union army, inappropriate behavior, things like looting, harassment of civilians. and, yet, he ignores the absolutely egregious conduct of his own army while in pennsylvania who were actually capturing black men and selling them into enslavement in virginia. when i read that i was thinking about the -- how does that happen? how did he not seem to know or was ignoring? he had this very laza fair approach to i know combat where he would put his generals -- told them where to go and let them figure out how to get it done. did that extend to how he ran his army in terms of conduct? can you talk a little bit about those contradictions and how something like that happens? >> he saw his task as general as being able to primarily give strategic direction to armies and campaigns. in term

the system protects central pennsylvania from catastrophic flooding. the levee system originally completed in 1955 is in desperate need of repairs. the county comprehensive plan upcalls the state of the levee system the greatest threat to maintaining economic resilience. administrator criswell, thank you for being here today. i understand you have experience with emergency management in the northeast, having served the state of new york previously, and in many cases in new york there's plenty of river towns like that here in pennsylvania. do you believe -- what do you believe are some of the most pressing disaster-related needs for communities like the one i represent in williamsport? >> congressman, i think the example you gave is a really great example of really understanding what our current risk is and looking at the age of our infrastructure. we have to understand whether or not the infrastructure that was built decades ago is still adequate to support the extreme weather events we're starting to see and will continue to see moving forward. i thin

a house fire in pennsylvania claims three lives. officials now looking into what caused the blaze. >>> plus, a major british tabloid issues a formal apology to duchess meghan markle. >>> and a cowboy crushing. america's team decimating. all the updates coming up. >>> and a major box office milestone. all the trending stories for your monday morning. >>> good monday morning, everyone. i'm andrew dymburt and i'm reyan nonally in for mona. we want to begin with the fast-spreading omicron variant throwing a huge wrench in holiday plans across the country. >> travelers are bracing for another round of flight cancellations triggered by covid-related sick calls. >> with test kits still in short supply, people are continuing to wit wait in line for hours. >> reporter: this morning, as millions of americans rush to get tested after gathering for the holidays, the omicron surge is being felt across land, air, and sea. >> we just got back from our plane and everybody was coughing. so we really want to see if we have covid. >> reporter: this te

by the way, as did the governor of new jersey and the governor of pennsylvania. here are these beds, 80 plus percent of them stayed empty and you provided everything for them. why? why when it they use them? >> so i got a call from governor cuomo, nick de blasio , i sent this great ship and they converted it to use for covid which is not an easy thino so quickly. they had tremendous rooms and tremendous everything. if it was ready. we built 2,800 rooms at the javits center and they were beautiful. i call every week, how does it do it, why aren't you using it? it was incredible, the army corps of engineers did a great job. everybody did buried we had these incredible areas, these big, beautiful hospitals. we built them all over the state and rebuild them in illinois, in louisiana, and plenty of other places too. but we built this magnificent places in a period of days and why aren't you using them? they couldn't give me an answer, they didn't know. if they would have use them, he would not have had the problem and cuomo would have been better off than he has right

i notice you answer the question about your connections to pennsylvania now, your attack on that. there are people all over the internet saying your anti-second amendment. is that true? >> no, i'm pro-second amendment and i've got my cure and conceal, i own guns and you havc a right to bear arms is in the constitution. can i say one thing before the rapid-fire? this week has been absolutely life-changing. there's a lot of action on droz.com. going to come back to that because the comments from other outlets, i traveled to christmas markets to visit with county republican leaders. the campaign is going to be so much more than it was about america's future and these great ideas will empower us to fix health care, education, the economy. i've got to say, the specific things we have been exposed to have changed my views because i realized the innovation and capitalism work. we can cut costs and save lives. the hippocratic oath, as you know, we always put our patients first. if i can be your public servant, i'll put public first. >> sean: if kids don't get a good education, basically y

3 years at the university of pennsylvania competing as well. thomas on the men's team, the college senior who came out as transgender and now identified as a woman, started competing on the women team this year. the controversy started when thomas set 3 records in one weekend, one time placing a whopping 38 seconds faster than her 2nd place. competitor milon decided to protest writing in her resignation letter that she can quote, no longer participate in a sport that allows biological men to compete against women. the fact is that women that would mean rather as a or in which bodies compete against body identities do not compete against identities. the thomas actually spoke up about the fairness of the in c double a's rules for trans genders on the when, when podcast. and i think the guidelines they set forward are very good and do a very good job of promoting inclusivity while keeping competition or integrity going. i want to bring in doctor frank turk and american christian author alongside at lind shaw founder and executive director of linds

we sort of knew what was happening on one end of pennsylvania avenue. we didn't know in as much detail what people on the other end were doing, what they knew, who paid for what, what they were actually planning to do and it's starting to come into sharper relief now. >> yeah, i agree with that. so i think no matter how jaded i might be about my expectations, i think the pursuit of the truth in our democracy is an important par of this. i think there is a vast part of people out there who are ignoring this, worried about the christmas holidays, wondering about what's going on. they also think any time somebody mentions something awful and how somebody is to blame, they ignore it until real evidence confronts them in the face and then they have to deal with it. ali, you have made this point ever since we've been on this tear on january 6th. i think the administration and all of us and every single person has to constantly bring every single issue back to the peril of our democracy. every single time we talk about anything, the economy, covid, everything,
