tudor dixon has hopes of going head-to-head gate gretchen whitmer. why are you the choice to represent the republican party? >> thank you for having me, i want the people of michigan to know i understand them. i come from a manufacturing background, i know how the governor has hurt small businesses and entrepreneurs, my husband and i went through covid trying to teach our kids from home and now our kids need to get back on track. we were out of school longer than any other state and our governor didn't say anything about it, get our kids back on track, she had opportunity to have reading scholarships, she vetoed it, when she had the opportunity to help small businesses, she vetoed that. get our economy back on track and make sure kids have a world-class administration. >> todd: if you can handle four girls, maybe you are the choice for governor. you proposed to get rid of state income tax democrats coming hard at you saying if you get rid of the income tax you will have to get rid of cops to pay for it, what is your response? >> the legislature has p

she's recalibrated knowing she can't win against whitmer. dixon is one of the few candidates in michigan that both trump and betsey devos, his former education cabinet secretary were on the same side as, betsey devause of course resigned after january 6th and she was opposing trump on a lot of races up and down the ballot. >> fascinating contests where 35 states held their primary. we've got about 15 to go through. >>> up next the justice department and january 6th. the new subpoena reaches deep -- very deep into donald trump's west wing. at fidelity, your dedicated advisor will work with you on a comprehensive wealth plan across your full financial picture. a plan with tax-smart investing strategies designed to help you keep more of what you earn. is is the planning effect. republicans in congress call them "entitlements." a "ponzi scheme." the women and men i served with in combat, we earned our benefits. just like people earned their social security and medicare benefits. but republicans in congress have a plan to end so-called "entitleme

when people say what would the next four years look like under gretchen whitmer? i have to remind people, we didn't expect this pandemic, now the cdc is preparing for another pandemic. this data became a governing arm of government when they are not a governoring branch, we have to be careful what this means and how gretchen whitmer could use this against the people of michigan if given the opportunity. >> carley: the cdc is saying we screwed up, the cdc guidance forced permanent closure of 200,000 businesses and cooperate 55.1 million students out of classrooms in 2020 and people lost their jobs because they refused to get vaccinated and cdc says they will not make a distinction between vaccinated and unvaccinated people. what sort of lesson can we learn here? >> i think it is really important that we remember we had so many people that lost their jobs, especially in healthcare. we have a crisis in healthcare in the state of michigan, how do we get people back into the healthcare system and helping people. let's look at students, students are key, kept out of sch

they're running and with both whitmer and fetterman. i mean, i've never seen anybody have so much fun. as fetterman campaign. the other thing, so i think that a few months ago, he had whitmer and fetterman who were in a tough spot, but abortion, jen six, and guns, or maybe marginal issues, but there may be marginal issues that get those two candidates over the top. >> coming up next, how republicans may just managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. with some of the extreme candidates to parties nominated in key races. our special look at the critical midterm elections now just 100 days away continues after a short break. continues after a short break. after a short break. high cholesterol. heart disease. 17 fad diets... 5 kids... 3 grandkids... 1 heart attack. and 18 passwords that seem to change daily. with leqvio, john can lower his cholesterol— and so can you. when taken with a statin, leqvio is proven to lower bad cholesterol by over 50% and keep it low with two doses a year. common side effects of leqvio were injection

to gretchen whitmer home. then they suggested killingcr the governor of virginia, alsoat a democrat, september 5th. 2020 fbi special agent jason chambers texted chappell, quote, mission is to kill the governor specifically, what country is this to pressure one of the defendants, a man called gary cross crossed into doing that. one fbi agent admitted this week that a female informant slept in the same hotel room as croft was honey trap fbi agents also testified this week that they regularly gothi high with adam fox. a they smoked weed with adam fox. they said he was so high tech he was high and all of histh meetings with them.cy again,. that's against fbi policy. you can't just give drugs to people and hope they do something bad. well, after all of this failed to produce a kidnaping plot, it fell on yet another fbi ginkomi richard trask, tona build a criminal case against the defendants. now, thatst same year, trask, who's now been convicted of beating his wife, called donald trump a piece of on social media. r

right now, gretchen whitmer is looking pretty good in michigan. at the end of the day, of course fetterman in pennsylvania, looking pretty good but my god the ads that he keeps throwing, the tweets that he keeps throwing dr. oz's way, just dizzying, keeping him offbalance every single day, i'm curious, i'm curious, does this tell you that at the end of the day, so much just depends on the candidate pers, the candidate himself, who is the best political athlete? >> yes, this is a clear advantage that democrats have across the board and in an historically difficult year is, they have very good candidates and particularly in michigan, very good candidates and a ton of money, and the democrats are pretty much, the gubernatorial candidate, outraising the republican counter parts across the board. in michigan and pennsylvania, you have two really great stars that are very well suited for the states that they are running in. with both whitmer and fedderman. i've never seen so much fun running a senate race. and the other thinking, i think a few months ag

governor whitmer sued to stop them from enforcing the draconian 1931 ban. and as that case has made it way through the courts, a historic number of michigan areas, over 750,000 of them, signed a petition one that signaled their support for about initiative in november that would codify the right to an abortion in the states constitution. it would therefore make the states 1931 ban moot. by the end of the month, the state board of kansas areas will decide if that constitutional amendment with all that support will be on the november ballot. so with that in mind, today, the circuit court overseeing governor whitmer's case handed down of ruling. the judge decided whether the prosecutors can enforce that 1931 ban. >> the ultimate expression of political power in this country comes not from the branches of our government and those that serve as public officials in them, but from the people. this court finds it is overwhelmingly in the publics interest to let the people of the great state of michigan beside this matter at the ballot box, assuming the constitution

now we have the opportunity to truly hold gretchen whitmer accountable for the pain she's inflicted on each and every one of us during the past four years. >> reporter: some election results were delayed from wayne county, michigan, officials say the results had to be driven to election headquarters because the county never upgraded its modems to 5g, so the results could not be digitally submitted. elsewhere in arizona overnight house speaker rusty bowers was trailing in the state senate primary by a wide margin. he recently told the january 6th committee how he rejected pressure from former president trump to reverse the 2020 election. mona. >> ike, thank you. >>> a major development now overnight from the january 6th investigation, abc news has learned former white house counsel pat cipollone has been subpoenaed by the federal grand jury investigating the capitol attack and other efforts to overturn the 2020 election. sources say cipollone is expected to negotiate the terms of his appearance like he did with the january 6th committee. that testimony included how he wanted then presid

gretchen whitmer was also looking strong in michigan. my god, what is this -- this is a rhetorical question for my republican friends -- what is this going to do in the suburbs of detroit? what is this going to do in grand rapids? this radicalism that the republicans don't pure and analytically, it's going to destroy their candidates in swing states this fall. >> yeah. that's right. and because some of those candidates are take these radical, unacceptable ridiculous and cruel positions, and a choice in the post-dobbs context. there are republican candidates there saying, well, you know that 10-year-old girl who was raped. she really should have carried that baby to term, two wrongs don't make a right that sort of thing, which is horrifying to people. and this is a thunder bolt out of kansas. this massive, massive turnout, for a midterm primary with general election numbers in terms of turnout. and that huge gap, it's just -- i was absolutely amazed. we saw the early numbers last night. this can't actually be real. it turned out it was re

and they wanted to do it for a long time before they settled on governor whitmer. in a statement today, whitmer said that today's verdicts "prove that violence and threats have no place in our politics, and those who seek to divide us will be held accountable, but we must also take a hard look at the status of our politics. plots against public officials and threats to the fbi were a disturbing extension of radicalized domestic terrorism that festers in our nation, threatening the very foundation of our republic." we're back with harry litman. harry, first on this verdict, take me through its impact. >> it's pretty large. so, first of all, they're looking at life in prison and the doj, as you said, they had a hung jury with sort of allegations wafting around that the fbi had overextended, maybe, and trapped the guy, and they didn't -- they wouldn't necessarily go back, and they did here because of the overall public importance of what's happening. the defendant said, oh, these are just tough-talking pot heads. guess what? tough-talking pot heads have taken up arms

at that time, whitmer faced some backlash over covid restrictions in her state. prosecutors say fox and croft planned to kidnap governor whitmer from her summer home. they even practiced detonating explosives at a so-called shoot house. they had an ultimate goal to set off a second american civil war and the second american revolution, unquote. they have attended meeting after meeting and raised their voices. next, the action community members in uvalde, texas, want immediately three months after the massacre of 19 students and 2 teachers. stay with us. it's so easy.. and more customers today are relying on their carars advanced safetety features, like automatic emergency breaking and lane departure warning. that's why our recalibration service is state of the art. we recalibrate your vehicle's camera, so you can still count on those safety features. all right, we're all finished. >> customer: thank you so much. >> tech: thank you. don't wait--schedule now. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ every moment in life is a bet. like betting on these

who were charged in october of 2020 accused of conspiring to kidnap gretchen whitmer. there was the first trial in april. two of the men, two of their co-defendants were acquitted, found not guilty after their defense attorneys convinced the jury that these men had been entrapped by the fbi. no verdict for these two remaining defendants, defendants who are back on trialt nse . what thisac case has shown not just in the first two trials, but all the court filing for is an egregious and an operation by the fbi tohi set up these men , stitch them together, try to provoke themm into kidnapping and assassination plot of gretchen whitmer. but a a was completelypl orchestrated, orchestrated by at least a dozen fbi informant undercover agents takingnd direction from other fi handlers. and this goes right to the top of this fbi. so closing arguments were today . the jury j afterth the first day has nodi verdict and we'll be expecting one this week. all right, julie stephen dunn, tornoe ran the detroit field office during the scam. nowth you say that now he hasu ties tosa the re

, i am curious to know what your thoughts are on that race and if governor whitmer could have any down ballot effect on members like slotkin and tillby. guest: michigan is a fascinating state, a cycle, in part because it had a new redistricting commission, bipartisan, who redrew a lot of competitive districts. if a lot of those were like michigan, we would see more. the seventh district held by alyssa slotkin, this is a race that is on the tossup list. she is facing state senator tom barrett. slotkin has run flawless campaigns the last two cycles and is one of the democrats who got elected in the blue wave of 2018. she has run as a pragmatist with national security experience and run on populist message of stopping corruption in -- stopping corruption in washington working across the aisle. republicans have a financial advantage of the super pac level. kevin mccarthy has raised over $200 million for house republicans at the committee level this cycle, but the place where democrats have an advantage is at the candidate level, where they are frontline incumbents who have about $3.5 milli
