This was the headline in the "new york times," quote, arizonas criticized election review nears end, but copycats are just getting started. as we wait to see how things play out in arizona tomorrow with the release of the report from the republicans so-called audit of the election results in that state, we also have been watching what is, in fact, a copycat-lead election investigation in a few other states including one that is proceeding oddly now in pennsylvania. as i mentioned, when it rains,...

And again. even worse than he thought. for months, the former president has claimed that the sham partisan audit in arizonas maricopa county would reverse the results and somehow declare him the victor. a draft report of the so-called air quotes audit by a group calling itself the cyber ninjas found not only did donald trump lose but he lost by even more than he realized. he is an even bigger loser than the first time around. the news isnt what proves joe biden was the legitimate winner of arizo...

The same stunt in other states. hours after former president trump demanded an audit of the election results in texas, a state he won, a full forensic audit was ordered in four counties. dallas, harris, tarrant and collin. president biden carried three of those counties. similar efforts are underway by republicans in wisconsin and pennsylvania. and in florida, a state trump won, republicans are ordering a third-party examination of counties with larger populations. of course, those counties tend...

Audit, the secretary of states office announced it ha begun reviews in four of the states largest counties. lets remember trump won texas. he wrote in part, quote, lets get to the bottom of the 2020 presidential election scam. the former president is also taking aim at two of his most loyal republican allies in the senate for not going along with his claims of election fraud. he said mike lee and lindsey graham should be, quote, ashamed of themselves for not putting up the fight necessary to win...

Cyber ninja guys, the cyber ninja guys come in, in effect, to steal the election for donald trump and to lie and say the election was stolen, and they come up all bamboo stuff. but at the end of the day, joe biden actually gets more votes. the cyber ninjas say, oh, wait a second, yeah, biden not only won but he got more votes. this would be like somebody hiring a group of really gnarly bank robbers to go in and do a heist on a bank and then in the morning the bank officials walk in and the gnarl...

Which is 30% of the electorate does not believe our election results. they are believing donald trump. thats not sustainable in a democracy. every time theyre going to try one of these sham audits in the state, theyre going to find the same thing, which is the results are accurate. thats the way you are going to get trump people to stop believing the big lie. give trump his chance to prove it. they have swung and missed every time so far. >> maybe. although i happen to think the questions themse...

Partisan exercise of democratic votes only, not bringing in true compromise, and i will tell you, thats not the way to legislate and i was advocating for that when we did the tax cuts on the republican side to not go down reconciliation. i lost that advocacy. that is not the way to legislate long-term for country. >> i want to ask you about the impact of what were seeing in arizona this morning. this cyber ninja group put out a draft of what they called an audit of the maricopa county results an...
