Michael PopokHOST
And then it comes time to, you got a winner, it's been certified, and it goes to Congress.
Michael PopokHOST
And Mike Johnson, in the waning moments of holding the gavel, decides to pull an Adelita Grijalva.
Michael PopokHOST
and find ways not to swear her in.
Michael PopokHOST
I had her on the show, by the way, as she was waiting to be sworn in to try to continue to put pressure on him to swear her in, which gave not only, it not only was something he didn't want to do, but he didn't want to do because she was committed to being the 218th signature on the discharge petition for the Epstein files.
Jim NintzelPANELIST
And where will I be? You know, Joanna Mendoza is having one party.
Jim NintzelPANELIST
Adelita Grijalva is having another party.
Jim NintzelPANELIST
I doubt we're invited to the Siskamani party.
Jim NintzelPANELIST
And we'll see where the Arizona Republican Party lands.
Alex WagnerHOST
It's just an excuse.
Alex WagnerHOST
It's like not seating Adelita Grijalva.
Chris HayesGUEST
Yeah, and I think they will do their versions of that to the extent they can.
Chris HayesGUEST
I mean, and ultimately all this stuff, and this is, you know, the subject of your... recent excellent book, but like all this stuff will end up at the Supreme Court in one way or the other.
Ro KhannaGUEST
We are.
Ro KhannaGUEST
I mean, he did that with Adelita Grijalva.
Ro KhannaGUEST
Exactly.
Ro KhannaGUEST
He refused to seat them.
Joy ReidHOST
They got hacked, according to Reuters, yesterday, or I think it was nearly a month ago, but we now have complete darkness over who's giving money to who, where money's going, and whether foreign money is coming into our elections.
Joy ReidHOST
Donald Trump has already made it clear he will not accept the election, and you've already seen the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, delay certifying this Grijalva.
Joy ReidHOST
Congresswoman Grijalva, when Adelita Grijalva won in Arizona, he took months to certify that election.
Joy ReidHOST
They could do that again.
Joy ReidHOST
So, Elie Mestal was on last night, and he has laid out in his new article in The Nation the many ways they're likely to steal the election.
Liz OyerHOST
Are there ways that A new Congress could be prevented from being seated.
Liz OyerHOST
For example, could the Speaker of the House refuse to swear in newly elected representatives? One listener asked, could we see a delay like we saw in the case of Representative Adelita Grijalva, who was not sworn in for 50 days after her election?
Stephen RicherGUEST
my understanding of this though i'm by no means an expert on this particular item and maybe sam is is it will be the new congress that will make these decisions and it will run through the clerk of the court and just we have no reason to believe that the clerk of the court won't do what is lawfully required of him and we have no reason to believe that the new congress would not swear in its own members because it is the new congress Um, now, does that mean that there won't be any litigation? No, and maybe it's an area of law that we'll have to clean up in the future.
Stephen RicherGUEST
Just like we had to do in 2021 when a lot of great groups got behind the electoral count act, because they figured out that.
Jack CocchiarellaHOST
All Donald Trump does is break the law.
Jack CocchiarellaHOST
What was Mike Johnson doing? when he was refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva.
Jack CocchiarellaHOST
Why are we pretending like this question is being asked in a vacuum where Mike Johnson is a historically normal Speaker of the House? He has already obstructed the results of elections for weeks and weeks on end to make sure that they could continue illegally hiding the files.
Jack CocchiarellaHOST
So no, Mike, there's no built-up trust here.
Ali VelshiHOST
And the fact that Mike Johnson is pretending that it's hypothetical means that he's preparing for the answer to be no.
Ali VelshiHOST
And unfortunately, it's not hard to imagine him doing just that, because last year, you will recall, Adelita Grijalva won a special election in Arizona just as a bipartisan petition to force a vote on the release of the Epstein files had reached 217 signatures, one signature shy of the number in order to move forward.
Ali VelshiHOST
Grijalva was poised to be the 218th signature on that petition to force that vote on the Epstein files.
Ali VelshiHOST
Mike Johnson simply refused to seat her, offering a range of thin excuses.
Kathleen WinnHOST
That is a true statement.
Kathleen WinnHOST
So, Adelita Grijalva, in her, now she's been there, what, two years? Has it been?
Dan ButierezGUEST
No. Oh, no. She's been there about 15 years.
Dan ButierezGUEST
Daniel?
Kathleen WinnHOST
And it's almost like they've gotten used to not having somebody represent them.
Kathleen WinnHOST
And I just look at the quality of life that could be different if they have someone who would actually represent them.
Kathleen WinnHOST
What is the greatest difference between you and Adelita Grijalva?
Dan ButierezGUEST
She believes in government jobs and I believe in private sector jobs.
James TallaricoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We can stop our government from spending billions of our tax dollars on a useless wall in Big Bend.
Angela GervasiCORRESPONDENT
and local incumbent Adelita Grijalva, who's drafting legislation that would scale back DHS's power to expedite border wall projects.
Adelita GrijalvaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The total frustration is that DHS has more money than they know what to do with and a limited amount of time to spend it.
Adelita GrijalvaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So they're spending it on really wasteful projects.
