Meantime, the Republican rebellion is growing over that $1.8 billion Trump slush fund for his political supporters, including perhaps Democrats.

some who rioted at the U.S.

Capitol on January the 6th, five years back.

Trump's former criminal lawyer, Todd Blanch, held a private meeting with senators, which Ted Cruz describes as having verbal fireworks at an epic level.

The Republican senators were pissed.

People were, the entire meeting, they were screaming at the acting Attorney General.

Asked if he still has the backing of his own Republican Party in the Senate, Trump replies... I don't know.

Right.

Where are we at?

I'm fascinated by this.

This tank, is it going to go or not?

Could do.

Some 50,000 people have been evacuated from around the site of this thing, which could be on the verge either of spilling or exploding with toxic chemicals that are linked to birth defects and all other horrible health defects.

This is happening in Garden Grove, so not too far from Disneyland in the LA area.

California's Governor Newsom has declared a state of emergency.

No one seems very sure about how to handle things.

The chemical involved is methyl methacrylate, which is used in making plexiglass.

One concern is that it might set off other tanks as well, as you hear.

So they've been thinking of trying to direct the chemical into the ocean through river channels, but that could be environmentally disastrous.

One advantage, though, right now is that they've just found a crack in the tank.
