in the case of pennsylvania, the i supreme court had already dismissed the pennsylvania supreme court had already dismissed a republican lawsuitci challenging those results pretty want to ask about comments he made in a local interview about a month after the attack. you said that biden was duly elected. do you believe that biden is the legitimately elected president of the united states? >> guest: yes, i e do. clinical back for second mention pennsylvania and since you bring up it was the heart of my objection. that was the objection i filed. in fact these pennsylvania supreme court did not hear or adjudicate the merits of the claim of the constitutional claim that pennsylvania had violated its own state constitutionon and allow a universal mail in balloting by the supreme court specifically declined to hear it. theyli dismissed it on the grounds on a procedural ground called latches. they violated their own doctrine in doing so. that is not the only strange thing, out of step with the lawn pennsylvania. that same pennsylvania supreme court which is a partisan court by the way. they

the state of pennsylvania supreme court which is part of the court. they elect their justices in pennsylvania on that court interfered -- >> senator i'm going to challenge you on saying they didn't hear the merits of the case because there was a lot that ruled that the case -- it's difficult for a court to rule on a discipline that doesn't exist. >> you can't have it both ways. you can't say they heard the merits. that's wrong. .. that is in violation of our president so they never heard the case, the only adjudication on the merits of the constitutional claim for lower court judges who found there was a constitutional violation in pennsylvania, my view of the pizza under people of pennsylvania can get their own supreme court to hear the case and if the pennsylvania constitution says mail-in balloting is not constitutional in a happens anyways, then there is a problem that is a subject for debate in the united states congress and if democrats can object to 11 different states, surely republicans can object to one. >> were gonna move on i want to ask y

in the case of pennsylvania supreme court had already dismissed the pennsylvania supreme court it already dismissed a republican lawsuit challenging those results. i want to ask about comments he made in a local interview about a month after the attack. you said biden was duly elected to believe he's the duly elected president of the united states? >> ire do. you mentioned pennsylvania since you bring it up that was the heart of my objection that was the objection i felte the supreme court did not hear or adjudicate the merits of the claim of the constitutional claim that pennsylvania had violated its own state constitution and allowing universal mail in balloting. the supreme court specifically declined to hear it they dismissed it on the grounds on a procedural ground. and that violated their own doctrine in doing so. that's not the only strange thing out of step with the lawn pennsylvania the same supreme court which is a partisan court they elect their justices in pennsylvania that court also interfered withrf itself. >> host: center if you're going to challenges they didn't hear the

joining me now is pennsylvania attorney general josh shapiro. attorney general, you and i were together in west philadelphia, just a little bit before the election. and while it is not the biggest news around the country, folks don't know that it is happening, it's been happening in pennsylvania for sometime. republicans have been trying to meddle with the rules about the election since before the election. they have been at the forefront in pennsylvania of the big lie. and now it is continuing. >> that is exactly right, ali. before single vote was cast in pennsylvania, we were sued 19 times by donald trump and his allies. and we beat back each and every one of them. and then after the votes were cast, they try to make it harder for those to coat. and they sue destroying two one times, and we won there as well. we had a safe, smooth and secure election. that was run by republican and democratic neighbors in communities all across pennsylvania. local officials, community people, in those neighborhoods, round the elections. it was smooth and it wa

how do you overcome in a place like pennsylvania? a whole bunch of conservatives who for years believed the opposite? >> first of all, good to be with you. investing and working families is not only good for the economy, it's good politics. these proposals the president has rolled out one after the other are deeply popular with the american people. you talked about philosophy but

you referenced one of the leading candidates for governor here in pennsylvania. there's a few folks who have said they want to run for governor or senate here in pennsylvania on the republican side. none of them are willing to denounce donald trump. all of them seem to subscribe to the big lie, and all of them are doing great damage to our democracy. they are dangerous. these bills are dangerous. efforts to gerrymander our courts are dangerous. we can't just simply dismiss this as some fringe characters or some, you know, wackadoodles as some people have referred to them as. these are dangerous people doing real damage to our democracy. >> you tweeted yesterday, time will tell whether the trust that was damaged in the aftermath of the election can ever be fully restored, but imposing accountability on those responsible can play a vital role in that process. i'm curious, what does that accountability look like? is it in the courts? is it what we see in georgia with this grassroots movement where people were told, either vote or lose your vote. the threat was sort

josh, what was going on in pennsylvania? and i have a particular question now, wearing your attorney general hat, there is a legal dispute as to whether anybody other than the legislature can make changes to election procedures, and the conduct of elections, and even in the circumstances that we had last year with the pandemic, am i wrong? did pennsylvania have a lawsuit that raised that issue? josh: yeah. and i'll give you a little bit of background on that, that's a great question. so first, i mean, the underlying issue of covid is directly related to the question you just raised. actually just stepping a half a step back, in 2019 prior to covid, our state legislature with more republican votes than democratic votes, passed act 77, our vote by mail statute, and so it allowed people to cast their ballots from home or wherever through the mail. fast forward a few months later, covid hits, our primary, which would normally have been in april, was pushed back until june, many people voted safely and securely by mail. following

we know it happened in one obscure pennsylvania county before this. a county that can no longer use its voting machines because of it. as of today it's apparently going to happen next in georgia, fulton county, georgia. who knows, that one may be handled more responsibly but you'll recall that georgia has already had at least three other recounts of the presidential election in georgia, all of which showed that joe biden won. but now they have got another one they're going to do. they're going to try to uncounting the election results in georgia given how much traction, how much effect they have been able to have with this scene they have created in arizona. this is not -- i hear a lot of people say that they're relitigating the election results. there's no litigation here, at least not yet. they're not bringing their claims about election fraud to the courts. they tried that more than 60 times and lost all of them. instead, what this is, is republicans with private trump supporter money using trump supporter contractors who have no expertise in the f

nearly everywhere i go across my district in pennsylvania i see help wanted signs. every day i hear from small businesses that are struggling to hire and struggling to keep staff. despite the progress that we are making in our fight against the covid-19 virus, democrats are continuing their big government socialist plans. this alarming work force trend is rooted in the democrat scheme to keep paying people to stay at home. it must end now. thanks to american innovation and the success of operation warp speed, our nation is winning the fight against the covid-19 pandemic. safe vaccines are the key to restoring our personal liberties, eradicating this virus, getting our kids back to school full-time, and, yes, getting the american people back to work. just like every previous challenge in our history, i know that our nation and the potential is there to recover from this pandemic and to re cover stronger than ever before. to succeed we cannot aplu president biden and the democrats to sabotage our forward momentum. for day one in office the president has promised big g

he's running for the united states senate in pennsylvania. lieutenant governor, it would be funny if it weren't so serious. they literally -- not a single republican voted in favor of this plan, and they are literally taking credit for this. if they were in a college, they would be called out for academic dishonest, but i guess there's no such thing in congress. [ no audio ] >> yes, i mean -- >> hang on a second. i thought i wasn't able to -- there we go. we got you, we got you. go ahead, sorry, we didn't hear the beginning of that, lieutenant governor. >> sure. when is the republican caucus ever telling the truth, get in the way of reality? this is the group that claimed there was massive voter fraud. it was rigged for joe biden. but when they're on the same ballot, the voters love me. there wasn't any fraud in my race. so, i mean, they're estrangement from the truth is hardly surprising. >> what does success look like on this front? if the american rescue plan and the american jobs plan and the american family plan, which are just basically

in pennsylvania elections. we don't know the answer to that. does fraud occur every election? no. many elections are conducted above board and we don't have problems. but the u.s. has a long history of election fraud, something the supreme court acknowledged in 2008 and a case coming out of indiana -- in 2008 in a case coming out of indiana. it is something that happens often enough that we should try to make sure it does not happen. when it does happen, it cheats the average american. it cheats them out of their vote and we need to make sure that is not happening. host: we are talking with hans von spakovsky from the heritage foundation. i want to follow up with two points, one from the center saying the republican efforts are suppressing the vote for future elections with 360 voter suppression laws across the country in a number of republican states. this is from pamela karlan, she is a principal deputy attorney general for the civil rights division. "past experience with similar investigative efforts raising

one in new mexico and one in pennsylvania. while the arizona mirror, which has been doing fantastic reporting on the story for weeks, they dug into this supposed previous experience the arizona republicans worked outing for week technologies. the arizona mirror reports this, quote, no one in new mexico has ever heard of weak technology. as. alex curtis, a spokesman for new mexico secretary of state, said he's unaware of any work week tsi is doing. but when the arizona mayor contacted those two counties, they had not heard of week tsi either. one county clerk saying quote, i've never heard anything of them doing anything in the state of mexico for anything. okay, well that was supposedly half of their previous experience in elections. what about their other cleaned experience and elections which was in pennsylvania. well, thanks again to reporting from the arizona mayor, we now know that their pennsylvania experience was something very specific. it was the guy who invited rudy giuliani to gettysburg pennsylvania after the win w

claiming the democratic governor changing the election rules in pennsylvania and the pandemic as an excuse to have early voting which was not the case before november 2020. are what is your response? again i don't have all the information to what happens in pennsylvania but they are responding just like every other state was to covid. they were considering how to ensure everybody had access to votes in a way that was safe imparted that was opening up satellite offices to help individuals receive the mail ballot. >> host: a tweet from one of our viewers saying republicans must yell fraud even though they won more seats in 2020 to end the democratic republic. this is text question from devin please explain that absentee ballots get counted last and just a moment ago and this from jann saying let's talk to south carolina and kentucky. on the republican line from wisconsin, good morning. todd, are you with us? we will go one to miami, florida. go ahead please. >> caller: yeah so basically i'm independent or whatever and i felt like it is what it is. you just showed us everything on the

tax, pennsylvania. that's the view of people back home if you think. the pennsylvania assembly is the only representative body for pennsylvania. then the house of commons cannot possibly constitutionally tax people in, pennsylvania. and everybody in england should be able to see that. well, there's the big problem, right? now, let me ask you this. let's suppose you're a member of the pennsylvania assembly. and let's suppose the government agrees. hey, look if the king wants your money. he's got to come ask the pennsylvania assembly for it. so the government says to you mr. pennsylvania assemblyman. let's say you're that assembly man. government says to you. hey, we need some money. will you please tax your constituents and send us some money? what's your attitude likely to be? probably watching pc under so you'd be willing to go back and tell your constituents next election. hey, the reason you're paying this extra tax is that i had to send some of your money overseas. do you think your voters would lik

i went from pennsylvania down to the border. some things you know are true but you've got to see them with your own eyes. maybe people don't realize, they think, this is all poor, downtrodden fearful people coming from mention cor or central america. 2/3 of the people that we saw, 2/3, were coming from other than central america and mexico. i got a news flash for everybody. they get -- you can't come to mexico with a one-way ticket, plane ticket. you've got to get your way in and you have to have a plane ticket to leave. so these people, they're -- they come flying into cancun. they're walking up to the border, and they're discarding their go home ticket because if the board pear troll catches them with that ticket they can return them to that country. so they leave it there at the border. these people are flying to mexico to walk across our border. 2/3 of them. so the last people i saw, chip, before i left that trip, the border patrol was detaining and processing so to speak russian, azerbaijan and cuba. all of them flew into m

on your way to pennsylvania. what were the differences that you noticed about the way people live in cities versus rural america? neil: you really notice if you pay attention to the kind of rings of cities, how they are organized and how they finally become rural. i paid a lot of attention. it was rings of wealthier, bigger homeowners, than a ring of people who have smaller houses, service workers of different kinds. you sort of expand into planned developments, then it slowly gives way to building suspense for when i was going to see my first burn wear the first smell of bona fide manure, cows. it took about a day and a half before i actually got into that kind of territory. then i got into some very sparsely populated areas, particular in northern maryland, going up towards the mason-dixon line. that was really a fascinating stretch. susan: the town names you posted on twitter are pretty colorful, railroad pennsylvania, freedom, maryland, new freedom, pennsylvania. what kind of glimpse do they give you? neil: i

john futterman is running for the united states senate in pennsylvania. lieutenant governor, it would be funny if it weren't so serious. they literally, not a single republican voted in favor of this plan and they are literally taking credit for this. if they were in a college, they would be caught out for academic dishonesty, but i guess there is nothing like that in congress? ? >> i mean -- >> sorry, i thought i wasn't able -- we got you. go ahead, we didn't hear the beginning of that, lieutenant governor. >> one has the caucus ever told the truth? this is the group that claimed there was passive voter fraud for joe biden. when they're on the same ballot, the voters love me, there is no fraud in my race. they're estrangement from the truth continues, it's hardly surprising. >> what does success look like on this front because if the american rescue plan and the american jobs plan, and the american family plan which are basically large government interventions into the economy that some of us think is the right thing to do. if they work, fundamentally, d

we're standing in front of the pennsylvania monument dedicated in 1927 to honor the veterans of pennsylvania many of them in the 28th national guard division that were directly involved with liberating the town of iran's which was in the opening stages of the 47-day views are gone operation that ultimately involved 1.2 million soldiers also called doughboys. so guillo you grew up. not far from here. it is an easy to say the explored this battlefields on many occasions as a young man in today as a battlefield guide. yes. yes indeed. i was born in a small town. around 15 miles away from here and i grew up. but close by the argonne forest so always walking in the first one. i was a child discovering remains of trenches bomb holes, and then i start to get some interest about the war if we find remains here. where is the front line who fought here? and that's how i got my first interest, but then i've been working in several countries and came back to my homeland and start to work as a professional tour guide. i'm quite specialized in the world war one and as i'm leading, quite many tours with am

and how did it go for them in the pennsylvania county? the main results of their work in that pennsylvania county, appears that the county has to buy all new voting machines because of wake tsi messing with them that means the machine's integrity is compromised. now we have learned that wake tsi, the firm that has been in charge of the actual physical hand counting of the ballots in the arizona audit, wake tsi just quit in arizona. and no explanation for why they are suddenly gone. the republican official who is the spokesperson for the third party audit there there said, said quote, by way of explanation, they were done. they didn't want to come back. that's the explanation. oh, okay. okay. but don't worry, another firm is stepping in to take over their work. another firm that appears to have no election or auditing experience. we called this nirm -- we called this firm strat-tech. they will be handling real ballots from real voters. they would not talk to us directly but they told us all media requests about their work are being handled

susan: when you got to york, pennsylvania, the graffiti intrigued you. by was graffiti of particular interest? neil: i had spent the day with a historian, former newspaper editor. he took me to this wall, quite a large wall. to changes -- it changes, not daily, but he called it the city's newspaper. people just change things according to the venture going on. this is something that is sanctioned by the city. it's actually a pedestrian bridge that goes over a railway. i found that to be interesting and colorful. susan: what about graffiti and general -- in general? neil: i did not spend -- it's interesting painting on walls, when you get to philadelphia which has a robust tradition of murals, it is a huge part of the city. there was a lot of that public art. i did see graffiti along the roadways, people like to leave their names or tags on railroad bridges, that kind of thing. that wasn't something i paid huge amounts of attention to. susan: something that didn't seem to catch your attention, old cemeteries. neil: i spend a lot of times in old cemeteries.

>> pennsylvania is doing very well right now. we're at 53.6% in first doses, over 18 is actually approaching 70%. the vaccinated population, those 65 and older who have had at least one dose is over 95%. in pennsylvania, people seem to be willing to get the vaccine. we are at the top of the charts. we're the highest in terms of first doses of any large state. i think pennsylvania is doing well at this point. i'm not sure we need incentives. >> you are not concerned about this firefighter survey in philly where about half of firefighters local 22 reported being vaccinated? >> i'm always concerned when there's a group that is at 50%. i was at a hospital yesterday where the rate of medical professionals was 80%. it varies from place to place. what i think we have seen is the hesitancy is not so much a matter of definitely going to get the vaccine, it's a matter of, i'm not sure i want it. the folks are persuadable. i'm not what was working with the firefighters in philly. my hope is that eventually they get the vaccine, too. >> i wa

pennsylvania state senator. could then a model for other states given how these emergency powers were used and abused and reupped? >> i believe it will be. i had communications with other legislators. the issue of legislative responsibility and the executive branch was the main topic of all states with democratic or republican governors. the legislative branch of government is the voice of the people. to be shutout is unacceptable. not what the framers intended. i believe other states will follow. >> laura: senator, this sounds fresh, why did it take so long? most of these rules are slowly winding down? are you preparing for the next declaration a climate or racial emergency? >> yes, we had to go the constitutional route and passed a statute. the governor took us in court and we lost to a liberal court. we went to the constitutional amendment process. we completed and it went on the main ballot and the voters supported it. that's a process we needed to do. we are preparing for the next one so people won't be sub

in pennsylvania, my home state, what took place was the supreme court of pennsylvania which is a five-two democrat elected court was quite radical like the court was in florida in 2000 and they change the election laws and the governor changed the election laws in the secretary of state changed the election laws, all statewide elected democrats, you had a republican legislator and so they did not change those election laws to help donald trump and they did not change those election laws to help her publicans but it was a power grab and so it was raised with united states up in court and i don't know what happened but it looked like three justices wanted to take it up and the other six did not want to take it up and it was a perfectly legitimate challenge brought to the united states up in court where it was to be resolved in an election case that is ultimately, not even the subbing court but the united states congress that resolves it under our constitution system and the idea that you raise it and then they claim that you incited an insurrection is really from a party that unconstitution

how do you overcome in a place like pennsylvania? a whole bunch of conservatives who for years believed the opposite? >> first of all, good to be with you. investing and working families is not only good for the economy, it's good politics. these proposals the president has rolled out one after the other are deeply popular with the american people. you talked about philosophy but for a lot of folks here, people in my district or people like me who grew up in the working poor family, it's not hypothetical. it's real. whether or not we expand broadband for world communities, that's real for those families. whether or not people can afford childcare. that's real. whether not we do something about the care economy. my mom was a home health care aid. that is real. but he is doing is laying out proposals that really meet the moment where american people are trying to get out of this pandemic, but also try to confront a lot of the systems that made this pandemic as bad as it was. c >> what do you do though in a place like pennsylvania where

i objected to pennsylvania. i think we needed to have a debate on election integrity we need to have one now in this country. i will not apologize for that. mark: you shouldn't. you are talking aboutbo article two, section one, clause to the state legislatures are responsible for the election system in every state. in pennsylvania what took place is the supreme court of pennsylvania five / two democratic elected court was radical like the court in florida in 2000 and change election laws. the secretary of state changed electionla laws. all statewide elected democrats with a republican legislature. they didn't change those laws to help donald trump to help republicans. it was a power grab. it was raised with the united states supreme court. i don't know what happened to look like three justices wanted to take it up and the other six did notit u that a legitimate challenge brought to the united states supreme court to be resolved with election cases ultimately is not even the supreme court. the united states congr

and joining us now is pennsylvania's attorney general, josh shapiro. you and i were talking in realtime, but pennsylvania really was the test state for this push to delegitimize the election results, from the earliest days after the election, and i wonder how it feels now. >> well, you know, you and i did talk in realtime as these issues were being litigated, and the elections were being certified. and that's exactly what happened. we had a smooth and safe election. the results were certified. the issues were litigated. and yet the big lie continues even to this day, nicole, where you have this big lie fueled on in part by donald trump but also in part by the unethical conduct of some attorneys, rudy giuliani and others. and it seems to me that we can't allow them to use the courts of the united states to perpetuate that big lie and to do so without any consequence. they have not only harmed our democracy, but they have cost taxpayers here in pennsylvania and across the country millions and millions of dollars. >> and they threatened all of us. there's

the attorney general served as pennsylvania's attorney general since 2017. as attorney general he's he istackling the scourge of gun violence across pennsylvania and is committed to improving trust in the justice system. has taken on the climate crisis, defended the voting rights and protected women's access to contraception. ms. ashley is the curator america and scholar for the firearms museum in cody wyoming and earn her masters. she's researched and worked in several nationally recognized collections including the smithsonian institute national firearm collection and served as the 41st commissioner of the baltimore police department since 2019. he previously served as the new orleans policece department for nearly three decades and mr. harrison also served as president of the police executive research forum and is a member of the international association of chiefs of police and the national organization of black law enforcement executives. mr. rick is the united states government certified firearms classification expert whose represented the united state

the gentleman from pennsylvania is recognized. mr. reschenthaler: thank you, mr. speaker. i want to thank the distinguished gentleman, my good friend from colorado, for yielding me the customary 30 minutes and i yield myself as much time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. reschenthaler: thank you, mr. speaker. the rule before us today provides for consideration of two pieces of legislation. the first bill, h.r. 1065, would create a stand-alone law requiring employers to provide accommodations to known limitations related to pregnancy, child birth or related medical conditions. republicans have long supported anti-discrimination legislation, including protections for pregnant workers. we agree pregnant workers should be protected and accommodated in the workplace. however, it's disappointing that the education and labor democrats absolutely refused to work with committee republicans to include a longstanding provision protecting religious organizations from being forced to make employment decisi

we cover central pennsylvania, we cover around 20 counties in central pennsylvania. so that's one reason why our focus is here because pennsylvania played such a large role in this challenge. the second reason is that we didn't have a sitting president at the time manufacturing things that weren't happening and that didn't happen all along the way from the beginning of the summer all the way through the end of december and into january and even now it's still happening. and number three was we didn't have an attack on the u.s. capitol. and that was just an assault on the electoral system. and like i said, that's what really sharpened our focus on this. >> all right, well, scott, i appreciate your time. thank you so much. >> thank you. >>> and next, politics for liz cheney is a family affair. that is what is helping her through toughest fight of her career. >>> and we're learning new details about plea deals for some of the capitol rioters who allegedly trapped police in a tunnel and attacked them with chemicals and firecrackers. the remarkable gx and lx. lease the 20

how do you overcome it in a place like pennsylvania? a whole bunch of conservatives who have for years believed the opposite. >> yeah, i think -- first of all, it's good to be with you. i think one of the things you're seeing is actually investing in working families is not only good for the economy, it's good for politics. these proposals the president has rolled out one after the other are deeply popular with the american people. you talked about, you know, philosophy. but for a lot of folks here, people in my district or people like me who grew up in a working poor family this is not philosophical or hypothetical, it's real. whether or not we expand broadband for communities that's real for those family. whether or not people can afford child care, that's real. whether or not we do something about the care economy -- my mom was a home health care aide -- that is real. he's laying out proposals that really meet the moment where american people are trying to get out of this pandemic but also trying to confront a lot of the systems that
