Rates. That will take us through the spring, first responders, people in the longterm care homes and people that are fragile. You have the people that wont come back. This relief money is not enough. You will be starving and killed if you dont get it done. This is why every night i scream how much more do we have to take. We all need to live in reality. Yes, operation warp speed, that happened fast. Imagine if in january when the recordings from bob woodward, if we had known or if we acted then. I am going to remain optimistic. But being a journalist, i have to wonder how much further ahead we would have been if we had more buyin if the leader of the free world said it is serious and airborne. We need to do this and that. As the science changed and evolved he would have changed and evolved as well. Early on, masks. They believe they did not really have much of an effect. And then a little bit later on they realized that well, there is a benefit to wearing it. So, as the science evolved, the scientists evolved. Guess who never did evolve. So, i am optimistic. I think it would have been great. I was hoping america would get their first dose by now. It would be great to see americans getting their doses first. We start where we start and we begin where we begin. Lets hope we have enough doses. We dont. You cant hope. I have spoken to people that said they can still figure out where to get more. But that is going to take money. We have money. This is america. They have power. Then it has to be effectively spent. This last relief bill, over 400 billion is money they never spent. Trump is the fever. He is not the political sickness. They are in a box, don. They are doubling down on the division. We are not helping. We are not helping the blue states. We are not going to hand out the money. Covid is not real. T the election is not real. They are feeding that we will fight everything at every turn. That is what happens when you radicalize people and your viewers. They need more. If you are not getting in the pure stuff and more radical they are not going to tune in. For the politicians in d. C. Like trump is a useful idiot. We can use him to get what we want. Then you tell people that joe biden is not go to win and that joe biden is none of that is true and you have been exposed. People want the pure stuff. They are looking for it and are not finding it because you sold them a bill of goods. Trump is still running the game. Fox news, they called arizona early. Looked like biden would win it. Was that reckless when they called it . They wound up being right. When they did it can i understand but it was never about the science of it. They went against trump. Just like that what we thought was an impossible relationship to separate, like that. They are watching a channel you cant find on tv. I still cant find it. They had their first win against fox. That is what they are afraid of. This is my prediction. By march it will all moderate. News max will be where it is. Fox will all moderate. Newsmax will be not be as powerful as fox news. Fox news, here is the thing we have been dealing with. Other Cable Networks had competition. Fox news is the only far right conservative network. Now they have competition. The Playing Field in some way is leveling. Trump will be marginalized by march and fox news will get back to something but it will be a shell of its former self but still very powerful. Trump is easier to deal with. Trump feeds off of us. If he is not president anymore he wont feed off of me. On Inauguration Day it will be like the local boycott bake sale. Raised 65. Trump held a rally in wherever. Thank you and good night. When you said he is not going to feed off of you, i have never seen you share your food with anyone. You dont have to when you aint hungry. Im hungry. Stop leeching off of me. Hey. Wait a minute. Did he go away . Im always here. President trump. This is what my mom would say all of the time. Dont act a fool. Dont embarrass us. President trump is acting like a fool. You are making a fool of yourself. You are embarrassing yourself. It is foolish. Making a fool of yourself. Stop doing that. Stop embarrassing yourself. I think that even the emperor has to know he has no clothes. You are naked, brother. He is trying to hide behind his refusal to accept reality and admit that he lost the election. You lost. He will take the oath of office in 43 days. He has to know his ridiculous fight is all but over. In the Supreme Court, denying a adequate to block certifications of the commonwealths results. All of it is a huge loss for the current president coming hours after saying this. Now lets see whether or not someone has the courage, whether it is a legislator or whether it is a justice of the Supreme Court or a number of the justices of the Supreme Court. Lets see if they have the coverage to do what everybody in the country knows is right. Turns out someone does have the courage to do what Everybody Knows is right, everybody but the current president who for months has been pinning his fading hopes on the Supreme Court after getting his nominee confirmed giving the court a 63 majority which he thought would get him what he wanted. I think it is going to end up in the Supreme Court. We will be going to the u. S. Supreme court. We want all voting to stop. It is going to end up at perhaps the highest court in the land. We will see. We should be heard by the Supreme Court. Something has to be able to get up there. Otherwise what is the Supreme Court . Biden spokesman reacting that this election is over. Joe biden won and he will be sworn in as president in january. As the current president determines to continue his unreality show, which is the only thing that he cares about, the pandemic meantime is raging. More than 50 million cases in the country, more than 286,000 americans dead. Another Record Number of hospitalizations tonight. Now when the lineups depend on the leadership in the white house, the contrast between the current president and president elect could not be more striking. Joe biden telling americans the truth, the next few months will be daunting. Imagine that. While the current president only wants to make sure that he gets all of the credit for vaccines. It is daunting. I promise you that we will make progress starting on day one. We didnt get into the mess quickly and it will take time to fix. But we can do that. That is the truth. I am telling you the truth. What Vice President laekt harris and i will always do. We are on the verge of another medical miracle. People are saying whether you like him or not this is one of the greatest miracles in the history of modern day medicine or any other medicine. Any other age. Biden with empathy for americans, trump feeding them an empty diet of lies. And to the American People, i know we had a lot of sleepless nights this year. So many staring at the ceiling worrying about what happens. What happens. We will have to see who the next administration is. We won in the swing states. There were terrible things that went on. We will have to see who the next administration is. God, man. You lost. Get over it. Happens to the best of us. You lost. You turned on out to be the loser. You know who else is losing . America is losing too. Even though you promised us so much winning. Cdc puts out their guidelines and the very important guidelines. I think this. I think the vaccine was the goal. That was number one. You do have an immunity that you develop over a period of time. I hear we are close to 15 . That is a very powerful vaccine in itself. Tremendous progress has been made. You dont know what to believe, do you. Can someone lie to you so much that you do not know what to believe and you stop believing anything they say. Just terrific. And that embarrassment of an executive order that the president signed today, well, an Administration Official said it was nothing but a publicity stunt. This president cant just Order Companies to give vaccines to americans before anybody else. Cant do it. We already watched on tv as people in the u. K. Got the first vaccines today. Lets remember, the administration turned down the chance to buy more from pfizer. The president stages a tv end to sign one more empty executive order. Running out. Running out. Over. And his enablers on capitol hill, every time that you think they sunk to a new low of cowardice they go even lower. When they go low they go even lower. The house voting tonight to approve a sweeping defense bill, here is the thing. Kevin mccarthy said his president would back the president if he vetoes the president s bill. We voted for it overwhelmingly. If you veto it, mr. President we are go to turn around and support you. Please, sir, may i have another. Republican leadership refusing to admit that President Biden is the president elect. This has become a weekly ritual. The electoral will meet at the 14th and cast a vote. We will have a swearing in on the 20th of january. Did anyone ask him . Why is it a weekly ritual. You have not answered the question. If you answered the question we would not have to ask you every week. That is how it works. I am glad the majority leader is enjoying his weekly ritual and refusing to admit reality. I am glad that he is having fun. That as Congressional Republican leaders are refusing today to vote for a resolution pointing out the obvious, that joe biden is the president elect. Mcconnell, kevin mccarthy, roy blunt, all rejecting a resolution from the House Majority leader. Simply confirming that the Inauguration Committee is preparing for president elect biden and Vice President elect Kamala Harris. Issuing a statement saying it is not the job of the joint Congressional Committee to get ahead of the electoral process and decide who we are inaugurating. Maybe he needs to watch the news. It is pretty clear. You are the only one that does not know or pretending he does not know is the occupant of 1600 pennsylvania avenue, although not for long. But his gop enablers are keeping up the facade. Lindsey graham, you knew he would be a part of this. Asked if trump should concede saying after december 14th, we will talk. Anyways. I think we are all looking forward to that. Senator marco rubio asked if the president should concede saying the indications are that is going to happen. They are just playing games. Being too cute. All fun and games until someone destroys democracy. Until someone gets hurt. Until the home of michigan second of state is surrounded by angry trump supporters. Some armed while she is inside with her 4yearold. Until a patriotic Cyber Security official is fired for debunking the president s bogus claims of fraud. You have to take a stand. You have to take a stand to see what is right. I stood up for democracy, got fired for it. Continued to stand up, got Death Threats and now standing up again for democracy and filing this lawsuit. Until arizonas Republican Party asks reporters if they are willing to die for the current president. Yes. That happened today in the united states. It is not fun and games. It is bizarre. It is disturbing. Quite frankly it is unamerican. Patriots. I think not. It has to stop before it is too late. Mark my words. The president thought he had the Supreme Court in his pocket, but with todays big loss in the highest court in the land how long can he keep up his Election Fraud lies . The House Majority whip says this. This is an attempt to overthrow our government. This is an attempted coup. Vicks vapopatch. Easy to wear with soothing vicks vapors for her, for you, for the whole family. Trusted soothing vapors, from vicks tonight, ill be eating a veggie cheeseburger on ciabatta, no tomatoes.

Did you know certified dishwashers. Use less than four gallons per cycle, while a running sink uses that, every two minutes. So, do it with cascade. The surprising way to save water. What is this devastating blow in pennsylvania by the u. S. Supreme court mean in President Trumps failed attempt to overturn the election . Lets discuss. Good evening. The president was pandering to the court to overturn the election. Does he think they owe him one . We saw the telegraph it that he thought the Supreme Court might work out in his favor. That is why he pushed so far to get Amy Coney Barrett through and he made it clear coming up to her confirmation. The day he thinks someone should join him in the effort to undermine democracy. Then he went off on the election. He was pleading for any legislatures and said Supreme Court justices to help him in the effort. I think the Supreme Court made it clear tonight they are not going to be playing a role in this. Bidens team said the election is over and the president clearly lost. The president s behavior is too crazy to ever do that. Are they stuck right here . They are in a pickle. They are in a trap of their own making that the hyper partisanship has led them to. He is still very popular though with their base. The bar they are setting for themselves is when the electoral meets on december 14th. That will mean that a week from today after the votes are counted on the 14th, which is monday. On tuesday we should hear every senator who has a shred of integrity left the Electoral College has spoken and joe biden is the president elect. Mr. Trump, have fun over the next four years at least. They have been terrified of a lame duck that lost an election decisively today. That is the bar they set. Lets see if they have the guts to clear it. A huge loss for the president in the courts today, but it is one of the many. The lawyer is speaking right here next. These folks dont have time to go to the post office they use stamps. Com all the services of the post office only cheaper get a 4week trial plus postage and a digital scale go to stamps. Com tv and never go to the post office again. Get a 4week trial plus postage and a digital scale want to eliminate odors without heavy, overwhelming scents . We get it. Introducing febreze light. It eliminates odors. With no heavy perfumes. In light scents youll love. New febreze light. So you really want to watch this segment and it will explain a lot to you and make sense of all of this that is going on. This is reality time. This is our breaking news. The Supreme Court, denying a request from Pennsylvania Republicans to block joe bidens victory in the state. The court delivering a fatal blow to President Trumps long shot efforts to overturn the election. But despite what the president says, the election is over. It has been over for weeks. But the president keeps losing, again and again in recounts and in lawsuits. Sometimes he loses the same state two, three, four times. So much losing. And my next guest is one reason why. A democratic lawyer who has been facing off against trumps team as they try to overturn the election loss in court. You Better Believe he is keeping score. By his tally it is trump and his alli allies, 1, his team, 51. Even the president s most crazed and reckless reckless admirers. Why dont you guys put together a half billion and hire him and get him out of your way . It is extraordinary. The president warns for months and months and months about mailin and the potential for fraud and the republicans do nothing, steve. Nothing. It is an outrage. What is wrong with the Republican Party . Lou is mad. I dont often agree with lou dobbs but that is a good question. Lets see if mark elias can answer it. Mark, thaenk you so much. I really appreciate you joining us. This is very important. Thank you. Thanks for having me. This is the first interview you have done since the election because you have been so busy fighting President Trump coasttocoast. Why are you speaking out now . It is important for everyone in your audience to understand that the laeelection is over. It is not just they won 7 million more votes than donald trump and mike pence, but the Electoral College is not that close. What we are seeing in the litigation is not cases that are going to change the outcome but rather cases that will under mine confidence that some people have in the outcome of the election, which is dangerous for democracy. How do you respond to lou dobbs and that question . I am flattered, i suppose that he said the Republican Party should pay me a half billion dollars. But there is not nothing i or any other lawyer will do to change the votes and in this case the votes speak that joe biden and Kamala Harris won. Reality and the facts. Lets talk about the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court shut down the president s latest effort to overturn the effort in pennsylvania. Not one dissent, mark. It is more or less what i expected, which is that the Supreme Court will not wade into a case that has no merit. The case that went to the u. S. Supreme court was an appeal of a loss that the congressman, a republican and others that their own election should be decertified. I wish there were conferences that have perpetuated this. But it did not surprise me. The Supreme Court had none of it. Then we have texas, right. Texas files the bid with the Supreme Court asking the justice to allow a lawsuit against battleground states. Does it stand a chance . Some of these i described as press releases with a filing fee. This was an act of some bizarre world desperation. I dont know what drove it. I dont know if it is politics. Maybe because he is fishing for a pardon but this is a bizarre lawsuit. Guess what, texas. There are a lot of states that dont like the way that you disenfranchise voters in texas. It is not a thing. Safe harbor. Today marks the safe harbor deadline for states to certify results. Are we done with the frivolous lawsuits after they figure out what happens with this texas one . I thought we would be done weeks ago. It is 35 days since the election. Someone asked how many lawsuits we usually have after elections. Usually it is zero. Right now we have already had 67 lawsuits filed by trump and his allies in the post election period. I would like to think they would wake up tomorrow saying this is over. The arizona Supreme Court tonight, i expect the same will happen in nevada. They seemed to have created an industry on the other side with these crazy conspiracy lawsuits which are just going nowhere. I cant say if it is the end of them or not, but it certainly should be. It appears that the president is using his supporters and the legal system to raise money. He is. If you look at what is happening with his emails and what is in the fine print for the raising of the money to pay for the lawsuits, i think like 25 goes to the, you know, the lawsuits and the refiling and all of that the recounting and et cetera. The rest goes for future whatever he is going to do. He is using the American People, using the office, using his supporters and using the court system to raise money. The American People have to be aware of that. I dont think that we are telling people enough what he is doing. It is abhorrent. It is. All of it is. It is doing nothing other than misleading people about democracy. Right. Democracy is a fragile thing. Democracy is not just a set of laws or even constitutional provisions, it is a sense of responsibility on the part of the elected officials and people in offices of responsibility that they will behave a certain way that will instill confidence in the public that their vote counts and that there is an orderly process to the decision of the elections and the transfer of power. All the president and his supporters are doing whether it is for cynical financial or political gains, all they are doing is damaging democracy. You mentioned 7 million in the popular vote and Electoral College. What if it were closer, right. What if it were a narrower lead that got him over 270 . So, that is a really interesting question. Before the election when people were saying that joe biden would have to win by a lot, i was saying that is not really fair. The rule shouldnt be one county has to win by a little and another has to win by a lot. I think i had more of the leadership on the republican you know, the people that have been around a while would have the good sense of catapulting Democracy Forward. That is what you usually see in a close election, the coming together of people of both parties and catapulting Democracy Forward by instilling confidence in the results. It is clear now that did not happen, even when it was a wide one. I shutter to think what it would have looked like had it been narrow. The fact that you have senators saying we dont know or it does not matter who the president elect is. That is shameful. What Mitch Mcconnell is doing is just shameful. Yeah. I do worry a lot more now about what a close election would look like. Lets talk more about the enablers. I think that is the only reason he has gotten this far, because he has a conservative media machine network. But they are mad at one of the networks because they are not going crazy enough. He has got political leaders who are his enablers now. Those people, they know he lost. What do you say to that . What do you say about these people that are enabling him . I just think it is disgraceful. The fact is that i was general counsel to secretary clintons president ial campaign and john kerrys campaign in 2004. It never occurred to them or any of them they would be this way. Did we look on Election Night and whether there was a path. 2004 we looked at it overnight. The next morning we bowed to reality. Secretary clinton gave a very gracious concession speech the next morning. It is troubling there is no republican willing to stand up saying what trump is doing is wrong. Are you looking ahead to the Georgia Special election . Are you bracing for that . I am. You know, a lot of the work that i have done is to protect Voting Rights before the election. We brought a large number of cases before the election. One of the concerns that i had both for the georgia runoffs and then beyond is that you are going to see republicans now using the false narrative they have created to humor donald trump as they spring board now to engage in Voter Suppression in the future. Earlier today the rnc announced that it was filing a lawsuit in georgia, to, among other things continue the republicans odd war on drop boxes. I am not sure why they picked that as the thing to declare war on, but they have. Mark. I am so happy that you are here. Thank you. Please come back. I would love to. Thanks for helping to save the democracy. Thanks so much. Thank you. Be safe. You too. So colorados governor and his partner both contracting coronavirus.

Coronavirus hospitalizations spiking in the country. 104,006 americans are battling this horrific virus in the hospital. A new record. Unfortunately the governor of colorado know how many of those peoples loved ones is feeling tonight. His partner returned home from the hospital after struggling with coronavirus symptoms. Both were diagnosed with covid19 over a week ago. Governor, thank you. Happy to hear that your partner, marlon, is home from the hospital. How is he feeling . He is great. Just across the room watching us in our home studio. He is relieved to be home. Kids are glad he is home. We are all so glad he is back. He was one of the luckier ones, only had two days in the hospital. He is not perfect but feeling a lot better. He wants everybody to wear masks and avoid others so people dont have to go what he went through or worse. 18 years, man. You are in it. You are in it to win it. When you come out to colorado sometime you will have to meet him. He is a wonderful man. I would love to, and the kids. I appreciate it. Do you have any idea how you were both infected with the virus . We had an exposure that we knew about. There were a couple of other exposures that were at a greater distance. Of course it could have been anywhere. Nobody can tell where they get it. There are possibilities but nobody ever knows. As soon as the fda signs off, colorado is getting nearly 47,000 doses of the pfizer vaccine, not nearly enough to vaccinate all hospital workers and people and people in longterm care facilities in your state. How are you going to handle that . You know, we have a call earlier saying why dont we get governments to prioritize states from highest to lowest. We are doing that in residential care. The vaccine wont be available for members of the general public until early next year but what an early morale boost. I hope people when they see that over the next few days and weeks that will inspire us to maintain social distancing and wear our masks for another few months. The president elect is weighing out plans to fight coronavirus. It includes a mask mandate, getting at least 100 million americans vaccinated and opening up schools. You think it will make a difference in your state . We started a back to School Task Force to try to return inperson education to as many as we can. Many schools have been back the entire year. Others have been in and out. Especially at the elementary and middle level. Many have been back. I am excited by the vocal support by the president elect for wearing masks. He has been hot or cold on it. It depends what he is feeling at the moment. We can expect more consistent and thoughtful governor, thank you. Im glad both of you are doing well. Continue to improve and get even healthier. Thank you, don. Listen, you know i always am very honest with you about this, not that i had to mention it. I was thinking about how long ive been at cnn, since 2006, and i remember nobody was out. Nobody talked about being gay. Here i am talking policy with a governor of the state who has been with his partner for 18 years and they have kids. Just like normal, everyday. That wasnt possible not that long ago. While i was sitting here doing that interview, i was thinking about that. Think about how far weve come. Cant go back. Lets not do that. Very grateful for that, that we can do that.

Time and time again the white house has shown it has not learned anything about the virus even after several coronavirus outpraeks, even after the president was taken by helicopter to the hospital because he was so sick.
