Steve Kelly Loeffler against Raphael Warnock screen right. David perdue also on screen left will face jon ossoff on screen right. Ainsley Live Team Coverage from georgia this morning. Fox news cohost will cain is down in atlanta. First begin with Griff Jenkins live in dalton, georgia where supporters are already showing up for the president s rally. Griff, i saw that man behind you when i woke up this morning he was still on your last hit fox friends first. The man with the tshirt. Griff ainsley, that guy with the tshirt is from detroit named carrie. He told me is ainsleys biggest fan i kid you not. Its cold here in dalton, georgia. Take a look the supporters have come and turning out despite the weather. In fact the guy at the front of the line the very if irs guy named blake came from san diego on january 1st. And the president is coming here to north georgia because early voting shows, guys, that republicans need a strong turnout and he is coming on the heels of a firestorm firing the leak of that audio obtained by the Washington Post of the president pressuring georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger to secure enough vote to overturn the president ial results. Listen here. I just want to find 11 are 7708 vote which is one more than we have. Because we won the state so, tell me, brad, what are we going to do . We won the election and its not fair to take it away from us like this. Raffensperger confirmed the call to fox news and its it division. David shaffer took to will twitter saying this mind boggling that georgia secretary of state and his lawyers would secretly record and release a confidential settlement conference with the president. Will will over many confirmation. Kemp is trying to avoid conflict and support the candidates. Watch. People are fired up down here. They know that were the red wall to stop socialism and hand the keys to pelosi and bernie and aoc and schumer. And we just cant do that. We have got to save the country. Griff meanwhile loeffler and perdue will mitigating the division trying to put the focus back on the democrats and what is at stake tomorrow. Vice president elect Kamala Harris campaigning in savanna went on the attack. Well, it was yes certainly the voice of desperation. Most certainly that. And it was a are false bold face abuse of power by the president of the United States. Griff the president comes here in dalton. Will it Vice President biden will be in atlanta sometime today. The white house is not officially commenting on this call, guys. It will be very interesting to see what the president has to say tonight. Brian, ainsley, steve . Brian be yes. They will be his script. And they will be what he says. Two very different things. Hey, griff. Good job i heard you got the big suite and will and pete are upset about it. Will bring in will cain fox Friends Weekend cohost working all weekend long obviously. Will, first off, this is an election on paper the republicans should have had 88,000 more votes for perdue in november 3rd and combine all the republican votes need about 50,000 in the special election. Whats it like now . Will you know, brian, you are right. It would like a game in hand for republicans. Lets take a look at what the score card says. This is where early voting stands this morning. Over 30 million votes close to a million of those vote were mailin ballots. We know the outside affect, influence mailin balloting has had in elections in 2020. Salute game changer early voting. Playing a huge role here in georgia. Take a look at this brian, steve, ainsley. Tell me what you think of those. Of those early votes, 117,000 were voters who did not vote in november. Now, can you imagine a republican motivated to vote now in january that was not motivated to vote in a president ial election that featured donald trump on the ballot . I would suggest thats another warning sign for republicans. Steve republicans are pulling out all the stops. They are trying to outside Interest Groups aligned with Mitch Mcconnell have raised Something Like 150 million bucks so far. Kelly loeffler has brought in many so of the biggest names in republican politics. Ted cruz, Lindsey Graham, criminals city nome, david perdue brought in Texas Governor rick perry. Will, they are trying to match the democrats. Because they seem to have a lot of energy as well. Not only have they raised so much money be from out of state but also they have had doortodoor knocking, which is different for them. They have had online rap concerts. The entire cast of the movie elf did a reading of the movie to raise money for the democrats. Will. Will democrats have been trying to push the enthusiasm level up as well. On top of that celebrities and democrats have encouraged people to move in from out of state. They have encouraged people who just turned 18 to make sure they register to vote. Perhaps that explains that number of voters who are already casting ballots that didnt vote in november. On the other side, republican enthusiasm is about what they know is at stake in this election. Mark he will levin on his show last night mark liberty and levin laid this out very well. Will levin put it into very eloquent words. Listen to this. I want to talk specifically to the people of georgia. You are our last line of defense when it comes to the United States senate. Youre it. If you had any inclination to sit at home, you better stand the hell up. Were not asking you to go to war. Were not asking you to put your lives on the line. We have brave young men and women who do that every single day. We are asking you to vote. Not just for georgia. But for the rest of us. We are asking you to vote for the rest of us. Whether you like these republican candidates or not, it doesnt matter. Ainsley so much is at stake here, will, and he is reminding us of that the balance of power. Will absolutely. Look at it this way. We have had this conversation several times over the last couple of days on fox friends on the weekend. What might be at the top of the democratic wish list should they control the senate the house and the presidency. Many are suggesting structural change, adding d. C. And puerto rico as states. Doing away with the filibuster. Mechanisms designed to ensure democrats not just get power this time but control power in to the future. Because, if thats the case, brian, steve, ainsley, then you can get everything you want on your wish list. Brian all right, will. We will check in with you again a wild scene over the next 48 hours. Likely to be an election week than election night. Because we never likely to get the results the same day they dont start counting mail in absentee until election day unlike what florida did. Meanwhile, lets change gears and talk about the one lead story would be a lead any other day except for today because of the special elections in georgia and that is what ted cruz is heading up. Senator josh hawley started it. Ted cruz is leading it. Leading a group of 11 more senator. Basically calling for emergency 10day audit of election returns in the disputed states. He is going to both the representative since he has over 100 in the house. These are the 11 that are up there. Mitt romney is not one of them. But he says since representative since these representatives are going to object. They want to put together a commission maybe if its precedent 1876 is a precedent. Would be the chief justice which would be john roberts. And the House Speaker would be nancy pelosi. Will name a commission and in 10 days find out if the Electoral College actually had it right and joe biden won. Here is ted. Went in to this election with the country deeply divided. Deeply polarized. And we have seen in the last two months unprecedented allegations of voter fraud. And thats produced a deep, deep distrust of our democratic process across the country. I think we, in congress, have an obligation to do something about that. We will, together, object to certificationing in order to force the appointment of an Emergency Electoral Commission to perform an emergency audit of the election result to assess these claims of fraud. We have an obligation to the voters and we have an obligation to the constitution to inbe sure that this election was lawful. Will. Brian the thing thats scary is because this puts in doubt all the things with the Electoral College not without precedent but virtually is. Makes people wonder like democrats do we have an excuse to start dumping the Electoral College among the significant republicans not on bored predicted that maybe senator Susan Collins wouldnt be. And maybe mitt romney would never be. How about tom cotton he says im out on this. I would like an examination of what happened. And liz cheney said dont count me in. She thinks its dangerous. Steve well, democrats in the past have done things like this but not quite this large. So it will be interesting to see what happens. There are 140 members in the house who want to challenge the Electoral College result, and so stay tuned. Bubblinbubblingbuckle in. Ainsley you hear people saying they have got dead peoples ballots. I heard one lady say she got four ballots in the mail. Two of them were for the people who lived in her house before and both of them are dead. She could have easily if she had done the wrong thing its illegal. She could have voted illegally. She didnt do that. But so many people have questions, integrity is so important and interest there are these patel ground states where they changed the laws. They changed the rules at the last minute and people have a problem with that they are worried if they dont do something about it now this will continue and mailin ballots will continue in the next election. Brian its got no shot at success. Steve thats the case that donald trump and his lawyers have put out. They said there is all this evidence. But they havent really produced the evidence. Are i have read the entire one hour and two minute call the president had with brad rafnsberg yesterday and at one point the president was talking about how thousands of dead people voted and the secretary of state down in georgia said, you know, mr. President , we have looked into that. We could only find two people who were listed as dead who actually did the voting. And it was, you know, it was mistake in the household. Will. Ainsley just that state. Steve in the state of georgia. Ultimately is it going to make any difference are . Brian, to your point, probably not. But for a lot of people who feel like they have been listening to the president of the United States and he is asking for loyalty to them they are standing up for him at the 11th hour. Pause, after wednesday. Thats it. Brian yeah. That will be it. Just the one other thing to bring up with all of this is that i just worry about you have that along with the protest the president is calling for on tuesday and wednesday. I mean, this is the type of anarchy that doesnt work for anybody republicans or democrats in the big picture. And i just think its up to the president s legal team to produce what they are telling them they have. For example, if they have thousands if they have hundred dead people voting in nevada, can i see the names . 200 if you have thousands, you are telling the president you have thousands of dead people voting in georgia. Show the president and then have the president hold it up. Because if its 2,000 most likely be 20,000. So far there is just no proof of it. And just because you voted for the president doesnt mean that there is actual evidence that exists. Steve do you know what, brian . There have been a number of the president s supporters who have said things on t are v or on social media that have, you know, clouded the waters where its like wow, thousands of dead people. Dominion machines and all that stuff. But interestingly enough, that information is never entered into a court because you cannot present information to a court if you do not have the evidence. And so far we havent seen the evidence. Maybe today at noon bring out the evidence but we havent seen the evidence. Ainsley i think people who are staunch conservatives in our country just feel so just so defeated pause of this election they do feel like it was rigged and to see what happened in georgia. That democrat could have the house. Democrats could have the senate and the presidency. If disheartening for a lot of people. Steve thats the danger for a lot of people in georgia, ainsley, so many of the republicans are quietly a little worried because the president has said look, it was rigged. So, if it was rigged in georgia, why would we go and waste our vote waste our time standing in line tomorrow . The worry is that that its rigged thing could actually tamp down the Republican Voters tomorrow. Brian actually, if you look at it, outside the presidency, the republicans had a sensational night on november 3rd. Proof in point, the house. Look what they did. They didnt lose one single seat as of right now. Two seats unfilled. Look like they are going to go to the production direction. They gained a huge number of seats. Not one expert had this happening. Kevin mccarthy always believed it wouldnt. Even though they were outspent precipitously. 322 democrats and 211, 211 republicans with two seats unfilled. Ainsley thats why nancy pelosi almost didnt win yesterday. And to that point nancy pelosi was able to hold on to her speakership. But 216 votes, mccarthy had 209. Many. Ainsley Kevin Mccarthy was giving the speech and passing the gavel to her. He said my dad was a firefighter and i will never ever vote to defund the police or Law Enforcement or firefighters. Everyone, you know. Steve one other person in the leadership on the republican side yesterday he tweeted out Steve Scalise said i cant believe nancy pelosi is going to keep Eric Swalwell on the Intel Committee after all that stuff we heard about over the last couple weeks. Brian maybe it was a deal she had to cut to keep her seat. Steve with that narrow, she loses him, its even closer. Ainsley jillian has some headlines. And we have not talked to you in the new year. These are your christmas presents. I love your earrings. Steve she gave me booze. Jillian brian, why arent you wearing the earrings i gave you. Brian i did use the car you bought me i enjoyed that.

Brian the media slammed anyone who used the term china virus. Now everyone warning us about the new strain of covid19 that they are calling the u. K. U. K. Variant. Why are the u. K. People not upset about that . Joe con be that will weigh in. Plus we will have live coverage of the Georgia Senate runoffs all morning advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer can take away so much. But today theres a combination of two immunotherapies you can take first. One that could mean. A chance to live longer. Opdivo plus yervoy is for adults newly diagnosed with nonsmall cell lung cancer that has spread and that tests positive for pdl1 and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. Its the first and only approved chemofree combination of two immunotherapies that works together in different ways to harness the power of the immune system. Opdivo plus yervoy equals a chance for more days. More nights. More beautiful weekends. More ugly sweaters. More big hugs. More small outings. Opdivo and yervoy can cause your immune system to attack normal organs and tissues in your body and affect how they work. This may happen during or after treatment has ended and can become serious and lead to death. Some of these problems may happen more often when opdivo is used with yervoy. See your doctor right away if you have a new or worse cough; chest pain; shortness of breath; diarrhea; severe stomach pain; nausea or vomiting; dizziness; fainting; extreme tiredness; weight changes; constipation; excessive thirst; changes in urine or eyesight; rash; itching; confusion; memory problems; muscle pain or weakness; joint pain; flushing; fever; or tingling in hands and feet.

Heres to a chance for more together time. A chance to live longer. Ask your doctor about opdivo plus yervoy. Thank you to all involved in our clinical trials. Ask your doctor about opdivo man whats my. My truck. Is my livelihood. So when my windshield cracked. The experts at Safelite Autoglass came right to me. With service i could trust. Right, girl . Singers safelite repair, safelite replace. Had 11 . 11 sitting incoming say at the will join senator will hawley unprecedented and up warranted effort objecting to the certification of joe bidens electoral victory. Its important to understand how unprecedented this is. How dangerous of a precedent it sets. An unprecedented effort to undo Americas Free and fair election. Steve key word there . Unprecedented there you heard the media slamming republican lawmakers unprecedented effort to challenge joe bidens election victory this week. Seeming to forget all about what happened in 2005 when then senator Barbara Boxer and ohio congressman Stephanie Tubbs jones challenged president bushs narrow victory over john kerry. Watch this clip. Every citizen of this country who is registered to vote should be guaranteed that their vote mattered. That their vote is counted. I raised these objections because i am convinced that we, as a body, must conduct a formal and legitimate debate about election irregularities. Steve okay. Lets bring in Fox News Contributor and media opinion columnist for the hill joe con challenge. Joe, happy new year to you. It is a happy new year. Isnt it . You couldnt end 020 quite soon enough, steve so good to see you. Steve absolutely. It was unprecedent the year no no doubt about it it senators and 140 republican talks about 318 house members voted against george w. Bushs win in 2004, obviously that came down to ohio. So they were challenging that. And heres what cnn had to say about it. The move was not designed to overturn bushs reelection. The objecting democrats, all of whom are house members except for boxer said they wanted to draw attention to the need for aggressive election reform in the wake of what they said was widespread voter problems. Boy, that sounds familiar. That sounds very 2020, doesnt it, steve . Steve it does. Thats what happened then. Its not unprecedented and not too hard to find this information either, steve. Steve all right. Something else we wanted to talk to you about, you know, as you look at the coronavirus, there have been some new headlines over the last week or two in major newspapers, for instance, on december 21st the New York Times talked about the u. K. Coronavirus variant. What we know. Then in the the Washington Post we have got some headlines on january 22nd, u. K. Variant continues to spread around the world as coronavirus pandemic enters 2021. Now, isnt that interesting . So there you can see you have got the United Kingdom in the title but, remember back in march of 2020 President Trump many are defends the use of chinese virus label according to the New York Times ignoring criticism in the the Washington Post. In march trump has no qualms about calling coronavirus the chinese virus. Thats a dangerous attitude and it depose on and on. What do you make of that . Oh, boy, well, again the going machine it comes in such handy when we are having these conversations, steve. On february 20th, which i believe is my procedures birthday, of 2020 the New York Times had a headline that said wuhan coronavirus looks increasingly like a pandemic, experts say. Cnn on multiple occasions called it the wuhan coronavirus or the chinese coronavirus before later condemning those who called it those very things. Look we had ezekiel, we had ebola. We had the spanish flu which i believe didnt even come from spain. West nile virus. You you have viruses that come from places therefore they are called those specific viruses because thats where they, onated. So i dont see how this possibly could be racist whether its the chinese coronavirus or covid as most of us call it now or in the case of the u. K. , yes, it is a variant that came from the u. K. This is actually very simple stuff, steve. Anyways, got to go my new years resolution i was telling the folks over the relationship was to develop a new relationship with my body. Kendall and i have a date on the peloton. That new relationship will start because mrs. Concha says i look like im in my second try mustster and thats not a good thing. Steve i love mrs.

But, according to Arkansas Attorney general Leslie Rutledge, there is a lot more than just Senate Control on the line. And her foxnews. Com oped, she says in that oped that the Democratic Candidates antipolice agenda make this arguably the most important election of our lifetime. And attorney general Leslie Rutledge joins us now. Good morning to you. Good morning, thanks to everywhere for having me on. Ainsley you are welcome. Explain buy you believe this is the most important election . Absolutely. When we look at the dangerous policies we push on the liberal and these two Democratic Candidates, this makes it dangerous for all of us and our future and our children. I have got a two and a halfyearold daughter and i want if i need to call 911 for someone to show up. We cannot afford to defund the police. We need to defend the police. Ainsley when you hear some of the comments that Raphael Warnock and jon ossoff have made in the past criticizing Law Enforcement, it makes you wonder are they going to change your tune if they are elected . Listen to some of the things they have said in the past. Police power, showing up in a kind of are gangster and thug mentality. You can sometimes wear the colors of the state and behave like a thug. You have got to be able to hold individual officers and entire departments accountable and there also has to be funding for those departments on the line. Ainsley they stopped saying defund the police at the end of summer you write in your oped because it was so radical and realized that when you look at the polls. Congressman clyburn from South Carolina saying dont say this. And other people saying you almost cost me the election because of this. So, do you think they are going to change . They really are for defunding the police if and they are going to change if they will are elected . Absolutely. They are only changing the words. They are not changing the mentality and more importantly not changing their actions. This election, these two elections in georgia tomorrow are the difference between america continues as physical capitalism nation and going towards socialism and communism. If we do not reelecting senators reveler and perdue, we could look at a very dangerous america that we are not ready for that our children dont deserve. We need to give them the hopeful nation and the safety and part of a Safe Community and a safe america is having proper Law Enforcement funded so that way they can show up when danger calls. When those people talk about those candidates talk about a gang mentality. These officers and the men and women in blue are the ones that go knock on the door, who walk up to the car not knowing who is behind that door but they are doing it to protect perfect strangers and we need to defend them and not defund them. Ainsley i heard mark levin over the weekend on his show do this its so important because do this for the rest of us. If you live in georgia go vote for republicans, he said. Thanks so much for being on. Thanks for contributing to foxnews. Com. If you want to read it on our website. Leslie rutledge the attorney general of the great state of arkansas. Thank you. Ainsley thank you. The squad may have met their match as 9 new Freedom Force has now entered congress. One of the members of the new group, congressman Brian Donalds is here Byron Donalds im sorry.

Steve well, you saw it here yesterday on the channel the 117th coming officially sworn in with nancy pelosi securing her fourth term as speaker of the house and there she has got the gavel and it is so exciting. Ainsley just barely with joe biden prepared to take office the new Freedom Force on capitol hill vows to push back on the progressive squad and prevent far left policies from becoming law. Brian lets see how that works Byron Donalds is a member and joins us now. Congressman, welcome. Thanks for having me, good morning. Brian you lose one seat, gain be so many. You are now within 11 seats of the majority is there a sense of empowerment even though you are still in the minority . Absolutely. Being sworn in yesterday, although i will tell you it was kind of a poop show because everything was so chaotic. Other than that we felt invigorated. We know conservatism on the asen kansas. You could feel it on the house and the floor. We know these policies from the left are a complete disaster. They might win in super blue, dark blue districts but they dont win in moderate district. They definitely dont win in red districts. Thats why we were not only successful he increasing our numbers in a substantial way in the United States house but we did it in state legislators all across america. Steve we are showing you a split screen with you and Kevin Mccarthy who came in second. He was really close to nancy pelosi. But, of course, they democrats had have the majority. However, she had six defections. And he had zero. And we were talking a little while ago, the interesting thing about what we know so far about the Incoming Congress is apparently nancy pelosi is going to keep Eric Swalwell on the Intel Committee after all that stuff about the chinese spy. Yeah. Again, this is one of the reasons why under her leadership the house has been a complete disaster. You cant be in bed with the chinese and then sit is on our Intel Committee. You simply cant do it. She should reverse that decision immediately. One of the things that happened yesterday is leader mccarthy really gave a clear, detailed speech yesterday before she took the gavel about what has gone wrong here in washington. Not just the last two years but in her time in leadership here in washington, d. C. And so what you are going to see from us and the Freedom Force and from the new members coming into the 117th congress is we are going to hold her accountable. We are going to make sure that the American People know clearly the type of terrible political game she is playing. The terrible policies she wants to push forward and we are going to fight for freedom, liberty and our constitution Going Forward in this congress. Ainsley i watched that speech yesterday. I like how he said my fire was a firefighter and he said i will never defund Law Enforcement. And the whole room just everyone was clapping and i think it was a standing ovation at that point. What was it like for you . Newly elected there in washington are to the first time getting sworn in. Surreal, honestly. Really a blessing are to the people back home in southwest florida, naples and fort myers. Really just thankful for your support and your believe in me. Really just excited for myself and my family, my mom is here. And she, you know, she doesnt cry much, but she was really excited. Hey, mom, love i cant. Really excited to get to work. I can understand that and a you are excited. Do you know who also was getting to work . Of the squad. They feel empowered. They also feel like their numbers have grown. When you see the group shot of the squad, the most left wing of the left wing party, what are your thoughts about the power they bring to the floor. I mean, i dont really know why they feel excited or empowered. They might have increased their numbers, but this is the slimmest Majority Democrats have had since world war ii. What that shows is that even though they might win in these super blue districts, their message doesnt resonate. Their policies do not resonate across most of the country when people get away from the politics of personality and start looking at their pocketbooks and their communities and things that are important for the future of their children. Steve congressman, before you go, are i know you were born and raised in brooklyn up here in new york. How did you kind up in florida . Im a Florida State grad. Im a Florida State grad. Go knowles. Ainsley i went there my freshman and sophomore year i think you are a little bit younger than me. I dont know. Ainsley i looked it up. You are. [laughter] and your wife is beautiful. And your three kids are just its just so fun to be a parent and im proud of you. I know your mom is probably watching this morning and she is just elay of thed because all that hard work paid off. You are doing great. It absolutely did. Really im just here by the grace of god. Im just thankful to be here with you guys this morning. Brian congressman, real quick, you represent the future of the party in many ways. If the republicans are going to be successful long term they have onto resonate with the Africanamerican Community. Somehow they did with you. What should they know about the Africanamerican Community to allow them to resonate in the future. A couple things. Black people are conservative. We believe in families. We believe in opportunities. We want to be able to just rise up and grow in america like everybody else thats number one. Number two, as republicans, you just have to stand for something. Coach Little League football for years dealing with young kids and trying to figure out which way to go. At the end of the day just do something. Just do something. What we have got to do as republicans is stand on our principles. Stand for the constitution and promote school choice. Promote Economic Opportunities and really do those things when we have the power here in washington, d. C. And in state legislative bodies across the country. The third thing is get to the communities and share the message. Brian dont pander, act. Thats right. Steve and, of course, you are now a member of the brand new Freedom Force, congressman byron dodged of florida, sir, thank you very much. Good luck now get to work. I will. Thanks, guys. Ainsley god bless you. Thank you. Steve somebody who is at work right now janice dean the weather machine. Happy new year, j. D. Ainsley happy new year are. Janice happy new year my friends. Good to see you. Happy 2021. Lets make it a good one. The forecast not too bad for the rest of the country. It feels cold but we are not dealing with bitter artic air which is a it good sign. We do have a system off the coast of the northeast that is going to bring some wintry weather but not a blockbuster storm. The west, thats where we are seeing the worst of it including coastal rain, heavy mountain snow. Feet of snow, actually, as we mo into the rockies. And the cascade region. Thats really the weather maker over the next couple days over the west. I wish we could get some of that moisture in towards southern elf a. Unfortunately thats not going to happen. Central u. S. Looks good for much of today. It looks like mostly sunny skies for georgia. Tomorrow, my friends, there is no reason for you not to get out and vote. Steve, ainsley, brian, back to you. Steve no weather reason. All right. Thank you, j. D. Ainsley president elect biden says he wants to work with both sides of the aisle to get things done has on agenda. New oped minimum wage hike might be his bipartisan break through. Is that true . Stuart varney is going to answer that coming up next. Frank they have shingles vaccines whaaat . Thats what i said. Were taking you to the doctor. Not going through that again. You can also get it from your pharmacist 50 years or older get vaccinated for shingles now. Brian joe biden vowed to increase the minimum wage while while on the campaign trial. New are wage hike could be exactly what he needs for a bipartisan break through. So is that true . Does that work . Lets ask host of varney and company stuart varney. Stuart, great to see you again. You are getting set to go at 9 00. Let me ask you about the minimum wage. Is this something we should convalesce around . I personally dont like the idea. Because you are talking about a federal minimum wage of 15 per hour. That would be true and applied in all states. While the cost of living varies from state to state, so you should really have a varied minute muminimum wage. 15 an hour will kill a lot of jobs in a lot of states. However, having said that, i would agree with the premise of that oped that this, indeed, looks like the most likely compromise financial compromise that joe biden can come up with. Think about it 8 states working towards 15 an hour minimum wage. If you look at all the surveys and there are lots of surveys about Public Opinion on 15 an hour. It usually gets 60 to 70 support. Its attractive to both sides of the aisle. There are plenty of republicans who want to be extremely generous. And this is an easy way of doing it. It doesnt come at the expense of taxpayers. You simply make that rule and impose it and people get a raise. That politically is very attractive. So i would agree that this is the most likely financial compromise that joe biden is going to come up with in the immediate future. Brian as much as i want everyone to make as much as possible i dont want Small Businesses to suffer and shutter. We know this from obamacare. You put out a rule, they are going to react. There is going to be less people going to be hired. Hours are going to be lengthened and those people already making 15 are going to want 20 and 25. So, the tax is only going to go up. I also keep in mind the Small Business owners should have a vote in this and maybe states should make that decision we kind of agree on that. We are just citing trends. I want to bring up Something Else that matters. People like to not blame china for the virus that they started havent havent paid for and europe cuts trade deals with and at the same time say america is so saddled and divided we are going to be surpassed in 020. Oops, that didnt happen. Now they say by 2028 we are going to get passed by china. The new oped comes out and says the chinese expansion myth is that just a myth. Someone needs to tell the naive counters that all the chinas tata is will one are as i remember purpose make communist leaders look good. America is not committees destined to play second fiddling to china, expand on that if you would. I very much agree with that oped that you just quoted there. You cant trust the numbers coming out of china. But you dont have any other numbers. What other indicators do you have that incouple pass the whole country other than chinas official numbers. Very few people actually believe them. You have got this forecast thats by 2028, chinas economy will be bigger than americas. At the moment we are 21 children. China is 14 trillion. I dont think they are going to surpass us in the next 8 years. I dont believe their growth numbers. And i think that we may well grow very rapidly given all this money printing and all this stimulus money thats coming down the pike immediately. Steve i hea brian i hear you. At the they are stifling. Are might be missing like any other ceo. Thank you so much, stuart. Sure thing. Brian big show still ahead, Kevin Mccarthy and Marsha Blackburn. Dont move.

Brian were just one day away from georgias Crucial Senate runoff. , the president is coming here on the heels of a firestorm following the leak of that audio. Im still shocked that a member of the Republican Party would tape a sitting president and leak that. Its disgusting in my view. Demanding an investigation on the ground that there are allegations of widespread fraud. You are the arsonist here. This fire was started when the Mainstream Media stopped being unbiased. Nancy pelosi securing her fourth term as speaker of the house. What you are going to see from us and the Freedom Force, we are going to make sure that the American People know clearly terrible type of political game she is playing. President trump will award the medal of freedom to california congressman devin nunes. Sources tell fox news ohio congressman jim jordan will also receive the high honor. Now and ever more we ask it in the name of the will god amen, and a woman. . Ainsley hold in the peach state today, brian. Brian thank you for that toss, ainsley. Brian looking down at your face. Brian i appreciate it. Raphael warnock is taking on incouple bent republican Kelly Loeffler. You probably know that already. Jon ossoff is facing incumbent david perdue who is quarantining himself. Steve he is, indeed. Good morning, everybody. It is monday, january 4th, 2020. Happy new year to you. Thank you very much for joining us. As ainsley and brian have said, this is a busy week because today both president of the United States and president elect joe biden go down to georgia because tomorrow is the run off and then wednesday Congress Goes ahead and certifies the Electoral College vote. With you, there is going to be a fight. So, we have got Live Team Coverage from georgia this morning. We are going to kick things off with fox Friends Weekend cohost will cain, sorry, will. Brian oh, no. Steve actually going to kick things off with Griff Jenkins. Supporters are already showing up for the president s rally tonight. Hey, griff. Griff hey, steve, ainsley and brian, good morning. Polls open here in georgia in exactly 24 hours. Of the cold in dalton and north georgia hasnt stopped these supporters from turning out. Really a strong crowd already starting to build. You see this is mike from indiana. Is he waiving a flag. He has come to support President Trump and the gentleman waiving his hands up in the air, ainsley, thats terry, he is from detroit. He is your biggest fan, the president needs to turn out of the vote because early voting shows republicans need a strong turnout here its coming at a time when that bombshell recording obtained by the Washington Post is causing a firestorm. Its the president on a phone call with georgias secretary of state Brad Raffensperger and the president is asking him to secure enough votes to overturn the president ial results. Listen here. I just want to find 11780 votes. Which is one more than we have because we won the state so tell me, brad, what are we going to do . We won the election and its not fair to take it away from us like this. Raffensperger confirmed the call to fox news and its causing division. Georgias g. O. P. Chairman David Shaffer taking to twitter saying mind boggling that georgia secretary of state and his lawyers would secretly record and release a confidential settlement conference with the president. The president also has continued to attack Governor Brian Kemp calling for his resignation. Now, kemp, for his part. Has tried to avoid conflict and support the candidates. Watch. People are fired up down here. They know that were the red wall to stop socialism and hand the keys to pelosi and bernie and aoc and schumer. And we just cant do that. We have got to save the country. Griff this has put loeffler and perdue between a rock and hard place as they navigate and try to put the focus back on the democrats. But Vice President elect Kamala Harris seizing on it. Opportunity here campaigning in is a van be that yesterday and went on the attack. Yes, it was certainly the voice of desperation. Most certainly that. And it was a bald bald faced bold abuse of power by the president of the . Griff whats amazing you have dueling rallies while the president is coming to dalton down to atlanta president elect joe biden is going to hold a rally there. So we will see what comes from these dueling rallies. As you can see i will give you one last look certainly the crowd fired up. There is even a young girl here thats made a sign for the president supporting him. They certainly believe a lot of the allegations that the president has made about unfair elections and when i talked to the voters over the last couple days here in georgia. It has made them somewhat weary about the integrity of the election. Although the secretary of state, and officials here say that it will be an honest and accurate result. A result though because the races are so close. We may not know on election night. Steve what are they chanting . Ainsley what are they saying . Griff they are saying stop the steal. Stop the steal. Its a slogan we have heard before that the president began when he began to raise concerns and launched claims against the Election Results. Ainsley all right. I was going to go say god give terry our big fan from detroit a big fun. Griff terry. Steve you cant hug him. Ainsley at. Griff two seconds on my mike known what do you want to say to ainsley. We love you, ainsley. Ainsley terry, you came from detroit. God bless america. And god bless the president. Griff loves you, too. Cant believe you came from detroit. Why did you come from detroit. Because i love the president and we want to back him 100 percent. Griff all right. Thank you, jerry. What does the tshirt say . Will. Terry, whats your tshirt say the only thing worse than covid19 would be biden 20. Thats the truth. Will. Ainsley god bless you, terry. Ing. Ainsley thank you. Bring in will cain, fox Friends Weekend cohost. He is also in the great state of georgia. Hey, will. Will i am. What a bar. I dont think i can clear the war that griff just set, ainsley. I dont have anybody right here off hand. Erika, come here real click do you want to see how much you love ainsley. She loves you too, ainsley. Youre great. Will im going to do my best to meet the bar that griff set. Win thing if a fascinating. Talked about the voters there somebody who came out of state who are worried about the infederal government gri at this of the election here in georgia. Obviously with two things going on at the same time this week. The election for the two Senate Runoffs and the certification of the president ial race on wednesday, there is some worry these are going to be working in tension with each other. Will they discourage people from voting on tuesday . Well, senator david perdue was on the next revolution last night. He said he is not worried about that. Listen. I dont think its really going to affect our election. Im still shocked that a member of the Republican Party would tape a sitting president and then leak that its disgusting in my view. But, what the president says is exactly what he has been saying the last few months and that is that the last two months anyway, we have had some irregularities in the election in november and he wants some answers. He has not gotten them yet from ourselves. Thats one reason why i ask for them to to resign. Will im sure, ains bely, brian, and steve, there are people who are worried before the integrity of the election here in georgia. I do not think its going to play a significant role in the outcome of these Senate Runoff races. I have think you either understand whats at stake or you do not. I think you either understand that this is the potential direct vote on whether or not taxes both income in the state will be increased the Green New Deal is the top agenda item list and will be passed. Whether or not immigration laws will be changed. I think you either understand that if democrats have complete control of the federal government what they will do with it or you do not. I think thats pretty clear. Brian yeah. It is pretty clear and the numbers are pretty clear, too. If the republic is going to be successful its going to be like they did on election day. People have got to walk up and vote on election day. Thats tomorrow. They say that last time 61 of senator perdues votes came on election day. He got 977,000. Now they say he needs about 1. 3 million to come on election day to show up on election day and then things will break his way and loefflers way. Thats what the statisticians say with 22 of people when asked on election day im going to vote. Im not doing the early thing. Im going to wait until election day. We will see what happens. Long lines look good for republicans. Will voting day. Not really in to the mail in voting or early voting. We will check in with you again. Will okay. See you guys. Brian 9 minutes after the top of the hour. Other big story happening taking place on the on wednesday. That will be january 6th. When they go to gavel in the Electoral College results. At which time 11, 12 senators have joined senator ted cruz and said we would like to 10 days to evaluate in the battleground states what really took place there because they say so much went wrong there. Senator ron johnson is one of those people that signed up for this. And he said im with ted. And he was the one who went on meet the press and had a very, i guess, dispassionate host in chuck todd who wasnt buying any of it. This was a brawl. Heres a little of it. We are not asking to thwart the democratic process. We are asking to protect it. The fact of the matter is that we have an unsustainable state of affairs in this country where we have tens of millions of people that do not view this election result as legitimate. You made an allegation that there was widespread fraud. Have you failed to offer specific evidence of that widespread fraud, but you are demanding an investigation on the grounds that there are allegations of widespread fraud. So, essentially, youre the arsonist here. This fire was started when you completely ignored, for example, our investigation of hunter biden where republicans and conservatives do not trust the Mainstream Media and that is what has destroyed the credibility of the media. All right. I have had enough of hearing this. Steve and chuck todd at one point inwent on to talk about are you going to investigate the moan landing and things like that as well . There are 140 members of the house on the republican side who are going to challenge and there are as we saw in that graphic at least a bakers dozen, 13 senators on the republican side as well. What they want is they would like a Congressional Commission to look into the Election Results. And they would like a 10day pause and certification to do an audit. It is unlikely that that is going to happen because, keep in mind, the democrats hold the majority in the house. And on the republican side in the senate, Mitch Mcconnell himself has already acknowledged joe biden is the president elect. Nonetheless, you know, you saw that clip right there with chuck todd, there are members of the Mainstream Media that say that this is unprecedented and yet in 2005 this were democrat who did the same thing. Not these numbers but nonetheless the same thing. Here is joe concha. Reading a cnn story on this from january 6th of 2005, talks about how 31 house members voted against george w. Bushs win in 2004. Heres what cnn had to say about it. The move was not designed to overturn bushs reelection. The objecting democrats, all of whom are house members except for boxer said they wanted to draw attention to the need for aggressive election reform in the wake of what they said was widespread voter problems. Boy, that sounds familiar. That sounds very 2020, doesnt it . Ainsley you know, heres the question that a lot of people are asking. If there is a question about the vote. And if they think that it was rigged, and many people do believe that then we need investigations and we need to know what our votes count, that our votes the votes were legal and we need to find out where the problems are so we can make sure this doesnt happen in the future. Because, if these democrats, if they win georgia, people fear that from here on out there are going to be mailin votes which we dont trust now because the president doesnt trust it and we all have heard these stories of people getting four ballots and two of them were dead people. And so you have to have trust anding integrity of the system. If doesnt matter if you are republican or democrat we should all want that. So many people questioning whats happening, an investigation, many of these republicans just want it investigated. Steve part of it, ainsley, is the fact that the president has been talking about how its rigged. He has got my lawyers tell me this. But we just havent seen the evidence to suggest that at this point. Ainsley a lot of republicans dont think we ever will see the evidence. Because they we cant prove a lot of these signatures. They changed the rules at the last minute in pennsylvania. They changed of the rules in georgia. Because of covid. And because of covid, people didnt want to go to the polls. I understand that. But changed everything. Steve right. Covid is still out there today. Thats one of the things that the senators and the congressman are looking at on the republican side who are going to object to the certification on wednesday. Is they would like to reform the election system. So that what happened in november, you know, if there was fraud, never happens again. Brian right. Just keep in mind, too. We want to keep the Electoral College in america. Thats what we do. And if democrats looking for some type of opening to get rid of it. I worry as does people like liz cheney and senator tom cotton and senator Lindsey Graham who certainly in the president s side almost on everything he has done for three and three quarter years, they worry about this being opening saying why dont we blow it up and make it a simple popular vote. Ainsley dangerous because that could backfire brian brian think this is the last protest. We will see. Overshadowing what happened with the president ial race you many state houses senate. Won one of these seats hold it in a year in which he this were supposed to lose it. They were supposed to get crushed in the house. They picked up seats there now within 11 seats of the majority. Cori bush is somebody who is making a lot of noise for himself. Not only calling capitalism a form of slavery im a proud member of the squad which is now increasing in size. Many people say dont be deceived. They are not increasing in power. One of which joined us an hour ago. Congressman byron dodged of florida. I dont really know why they feel excited or empowered. They might have increased their numbers. But this is the slimmist Majority Democrats have had since world war ii. What that shows is that even though they might win in these super blue districts. Their message doesnt resonate. Their policies does not resonate across most of the country when people actually get away from the politics of personality and start looking at their pocketbooks. And looking at their communities and whats important for the future of their children. Brian what the congressman is saying. Buff they do have more power in terms of numbers. Nancy pelosi got very little maneuverability. If they Stay Together and say we are not voting for that she is hamstrung. He has to do this horrible thing hold on to something, recruit republicans. Which she doesnt even try to do in 100 years as speaker. So this is going to be a brand new ballgame and they do have leverage in that way. Brian wha ainsley what did she promise democrats who were not going to vote for her but ended up backing her. I wonder what conversations they had with her to get them to vote. Steve Eric Swalwell had some sort of relationship with a chinese spy, she kept him on the Intel Committee. Whats up with that . She needed his vote. Ainsley umhuh. Brian right. So the guys who cannot vote. The people who did not vote for her conor lamb, alyssa cheryl. Recall spam berger. Jason crew, ron kind, Kathleen Rice which is stunning from new york. One of her biggest critics and Kurt Schrader of oregon. All right. Lets go over to jillian because she has the other breaking news. Jillian thats right. Good morning. Julian assange will not be extradited to the u. S. A british judge ruling it would be, quote, oppressive to his Mental Health and he was likely to kill himself if held under harsh u. S. Prison conditions. Assange is facing espionage charges and currently locked up in a london prison. The u. S. Will appeal the decision. Assange denies the charges saying he was acting as a journalist. Overnight Pittsburgh Police calling in the bomb squad after an explosive device is thrown from a moving car. Police say the device detonated and damaged a parked car. No one was hurt. Police are also searching for this white pickup truck in connection with that blast. They are investigating reports of an explosion in another neighborhood as well. Well, take a look here. This pennsylvania man celebrates his 101st birthday with one very special request. An ice cold beer. Francis warner known as uncle bunny getting his birthday wish at maple winds healthcare and radicalization center in pennsylvania. The nursing home staff says his room was decorated and he was also served a cake, cheers and happy birthday to uncle bunny. Those are your headlines. Send it to you.

Steve reelected as speaker fourth time as the Congress Sworn in yesterday. Only 7 votes carried her over House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy after five democrats broke rank. Next guest sworn in for second term and said he proudly voted against her joining us is republican texas congressman lance gooden. Congressman, good morning to you and congratulations. Good morning. Thank you very much. Steve her margin was really narrow. I know there were no defections on the republican side she had five or six and in fact jared golden voted for tammy buck worth and conor lamb voted for hakeem jeffries. She must have done some real arm twisting behind the scenes. She must have. You know, nancy pelosi is very good at counting votes shoe has had 100 years to master the process. It was close. They were sweating it. They didnt know if they would have members unable to show up. They have been proxy voting this whole year. There were members in the chamber yesterday that had made their first trip it washington, d. C. In about 8 months. And so there was uncertainty. One member claimed to have covid six days ago. They had allegedly set up plexiglass for her in in the event they needed her vote at the last minute on the floor. They didnt be in the end, but it just goes to show how nervous they were about the whole process. Steve i think you are referring to glen moore a democrat from wisconsin announced six days earlier she had tested positive for covid. Didnt say when or if she was negative. Said she was cleared of by her doctors to travel so she was in the chamber. You know, i mentioned this a moment ago after a couple of weeks of really bad publicity. Eric swalwell, nancy pelosi reinstalled him on the Intel Committee after that relationship a number of years ago with the chinese spy. Its incredible. The fact that he was even there after the all if she had any knowledge of that is stunning to me. But, after what came out in the last month that he would still be on that committee, is either incompetence or desfather ration on her part to keedesdesperatios whole vote theory that would make sense to me she had to have his vote to stay speaker. Keeping him on because she actually believes in him is just crazy to me. Steve then again, back when he first came in, she was apparently brief evidenced on what had transpired. Thats correct. Steve and put it on it anyway. It speaks to her judgment. Its a shame. We also know if the situation were reversed. If it were a republican on that committee. They would just be there would be outrage on the streets on the democratic side. Steve absolutely. All right. There is outrage on the in the streets of the democrats. That a number of republicans including you, there are 140 house members who plan to challenge the Electoral College certification on wednesday. What happened touring the election that has pushed you to the point where you say hey, we have got to talk about this before we vote . You know, in my election in texas, just at a much smaller scale level, poll watchers representing my campaign were turned away from polling places in democrat run Dallas County and i thought to myself if this is happening to me here, whats happening in these other areas. And then come to find out there were numerous instances, allegations, sworn testimony by people who are purging themselves if thepurge perjurint telling the truth. Numerous counts of voter fraud across the area. Thee have not had full audits of ballots in georgia. When you recount the same ballots all over again all you are doing is recountinged what numbers. We have been refused a full signature audits in places like georgia. I heard yesterday that if, in fact, there was this fraud that the Senate Runoff for mr. Perdue is not even necessary. So, we have just got so many questions that voters want answers to. My constituents want answers to. And i dont understand why democrats refuse to even have a conversation about this these allegations. You would think they would want them cleared up going into january 20th. Steve right. That he was what i read. The main thing republicans just simply want to have the discussion. Want to have the debate. Result mastly though, i would imagine you would like some sort of election reform so that this never happens again. That would be nice. Its difficult to imagine a scenario where we have meaningful reform if nancy pelosi is speaker. Especially if we lose in georgia tomorrow. The georgia races tomorrow are so critical. But, would he have got to at least shine a light on fraud and these allegations and put these to bed. And i dont think that we have had answers. I dont understand why the other side calls my side those of house are come out in opposition to certifying these results, why they have called us unamerican. Why they say its irresponsible. I dont understand why republicans in the house, some of my own colleagues would actually come out and say that what were doing is unamerican. And unwise. I think getting to the root of these allegations and determining what fraud did or did not take place is very american and is our duty as members of congress. Steve we should point out that democrats have done it in the past so its not unprecedented. Congressman, thank you very much for joining us. Good luck on your second term. Thank you, take care. Steve you bet. 7 29 in new york city. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is still receiving praise for his handling of covid even though his decision to move elderly patients back into Nursing Homes is being blamed for thousands of deaths. Our own janice dean lost poet of her inlaws to the virus inside Nursing Homes. Now she writes about the tragic rise of andrew cuomo, an oped. The real person janice dean joins us next.

That order now blamed for the death of thousands of elderly residents be including the inlaws of our own janice dean. Janice dean takes the governor and the media who wont press him on this issue to task in her foxnews. Com oped titled the tragic rise of andrew cuomo amid covid19 a real american crisis. Janice joins us now. Good morning, janice. Hi, ainsley. Happy new year. Ainsley happy new year to you, too. Your family was on my mind i know sean lost both of his parents during covid. You lost both of your inlaws. Kids lost their grandparents. Why did you write there oped . I thought it was important to document his tragic rise as the media anointed him as americas governor meanwhile he was putting covid positive patient into Nursing Homes for 46 of days and never really called to task on the major news programs. And our grief started to turn to anger. Not only my grief but thousands of other families who want answers and accountability to this date the governor has never said im sorry for your loss. He really hasnt taken any responsibility and thats why i wanted to write this from the very beginning from march an wards until today where we are still grieving and we still dont have the answers. Including the exact number of seniors who died not only in Nursing Homes but in the hospital like my motherinlaw did. Ainsley you write about the props that he uses and that really struck a nerve with me, too. Because when you see these leaders the ones that are hypocrites, you know, telling us to do one thing and they are not cooking it themselves or when you see him on another network with that big qtip and laughing about it with his brother i thought about the people who do have covid and that its not a laughing matter. Did that really how did you feel when you saw him laughing with his brother or saw him using these props . It was awful. That was during of the time when we were trying to get answers and finding out about this mandate that put covid positive patients into Nursing Homes. For 46 days and to see him joking that cuomo comedy hour over on cnn him writing a book in the middle of a pandemic. And then getting an emmy for his leadership. Its beyond salt in a wound, ainsley. And he continues his victory tour. And be so thats why i wanted to write a complete essay and get quotes from nursing home operators and families who have lost loved ones, it was important to do. This i hope its one of the last essays i have to write on this governor. Ainsley you know, janice, why arent they giving you the numbers . Dont be we deserve to know . Janice we do. To this date he still continues to not give us the numbers. His government, his Health Department, and i got a quote from the Justice Department who has an investigation into the governor and these numbers as of october, and they gave me a quote from a justice official senior justice official from the department saying that as of this date, Governor Cuomo and his Health Department have given them nothing. Ainsley all right. Keep fighting, janice. We are sorry for your loss. Thank you for being a voice for those that dont have the position you do. Janice thanks, ainsley. Ainsley you are welcome. God bless you. We reached out of to the governors office. We have not gotten a statement from him yet.

You obviously dont need the dental. Your teeth are perfect. [laughter] brian when you look around and look on the ground do you think the people of georgia understand whats at stake here . Will first of all, brian, dont kid yourself these vin nears were very expensive. I do think the people of georgia understand whats at stake here. But, if there is any doubt. If there is any question remaining, Stacey Abrams one time democratic gubernatorial candidate here in georgia was ready to lay it out yesterday on abc. I want you to listen to this for a second. Ing in fact, the republicans have done it for us. Their refusal to pass 2,000 relief checks. Their refusal to support municipal governments. The hypocritical idea its okay to support business but not to support the business of government. The business of serving the people has really galvanized voters. They feel the very real cons be sequences of covid19 here in georgia where we have more than 630,000 infections. We have more than 10,000 deaths. And we have hospitals at capacity. Republicans have no intention of responding to covid19. And they know we need a president elect joe biden to have a partnership in the senate and thats why joe biden needs Raphael Warnock and jon ossoff. Will so, if you didnt catch that let me highlight it for you the quote business of government. Government isnt in business. It doesnt generate a profit. Its not entrepreneurial. It doesnt create anything. Its like a bulldozer. It moves dirt from one side of the aisle to the other. That is what she is talking about. The nerve to talk about the business of government and government getting help after democratic cities and governors all across this nation have shut down businesses and then, like a mob boss walking up to your counter teller saying i still need my cut. Stacey abrams is saying where is governments cut during all of this . Thats what at stake in georgia in Stacey Abrams own words. Steve all right. Will cain reporting live from atlanta. We will be back with you in about 15 minutes. Thank you very much. Meanwhile lets dial in Tennessee Republican senator Marsha Blackburn who joins us from teen see. Senator, good morning be to you. Good morning. Steve you know, were going to talk a little bit about how you are backing the fight over the certification of the Electoral College vote because it was rigid, the president has said. How much does it worry you that the president and some of his surrogates have said, look, its rigged. The election was rigged in november and ultimately it could will discourage the turfout there in georgia tomorrow . You know, when interest are allegations of fraud, and when theres all this conversation that is taking place around the Election Results, one of the things that we should do is define the problem and then offer an action item that will get us to a solution. And thats exactly what we are doing. And what we said we would do in our statement in putting in place a commission that would conduct a review of what transpired, investigate the allegations and then come back to the Electoral College, which i will say is a vital part of our process, that is the appropriate respectful step to take. It is constitutional. It is given to the Electoral College to make these decisions. And that is exactly what were doing. Were exercising our constitutional duty and following precedent from 1877 this is the recommendation and the way they resolved it then. Its appropriate we use that now. Ainsley will you explain whats going on in the state of georgia . I know you are from tennessee. Another southern state. I grew up in South Carolina. Where our families love the bible. Families love their guns. Family Love Community and they take care of one another. Most of them dont leave the state. If you were born in South Carolina. You know, most people dont understand why living in new york city and i love that state but this is where my job called. And so, whats going on be in that state . Because when Newt Gingrich was speaker, i mean, that state was so ored. How in the world are these two runoff elections neck in neck . And ainsley i talked to georgians every single day. As we have worked on this. And that look at this and say how is it that people that live outside of the state have the ability to vote in our election . And when you look at the issues that are there in georgia i say what you have got coming back are the security moms. Women who are speaking up and they are concerned about economic security, job security. They want to make certain that their communities are safe. And they are showing up at the ballot box. And the interesting thing to me is most of these women are not partisans. They dont identify as republican, democrat, or independent. What they are focused on is the future for their children. Opportunity for their children. Making certain that their families have jobs. Making certain that their freedoms are protected. And i, honestly, do not think these women i will are going to go vote for the two most radical Senate Candidates that the Democrat Party has ever ever put forward in any states. Brian you are right. By all polls neck in neck or it looks like the democrats are up two. They need 1. 3 million to show up roughly an estimate on election day for the republican us to prevail at least for senator perdue to do. I want to bring the other big story to happen yesterday. The Washington Post posted 4 and a half minutes and allowed and actually had an attachment to have the whole transcript of an hour long conversation the president had with his legal team mark meadows and the secretary of state and his legal team about election contentions and the issues that the decided that georgia would go electoral votes would go to joe biden by about 11,000 votes. At which time the president is heard saying i need 11,000 he is urging him to find enough will votes to reverse the states rules. Can you find 11,000 more votes. He believes in every fiber of his meaning that he won georgia. What did you glean from that call yesterday . Brian, one of the things, i think, that everyone are has said is that this call was not a helpful call. Now, one of the things you have seen us talk about with our coalition that is looking at Election Integrity is sending this issue back to the states. The states are the ones that are going to resolve this issue. We do not have federalized elections in this country. We do not want federalized elections in this country. But, it is going to be up to these state legislatures and these elected officials not, nonelected or appointed officials to make these decisions and abiding by the constitutional responsibility is where our emphasis is on call for a commission that is going to look into these Election Integrity issues. Thats how to resolve this. Steve , what changed everything are in this past election is there is a Global Pandemic and different states did different things. Ultimately 353,000 americans have died so far. Its just a tragic number. Are it is tragic. Steve it is, indeed. All right, senator, thank you very much for joining us live. Good to join you, thank you. Steve the effort to recall California Governor Gavin Newsom gets a boost with a former San Francisco mayoring the effort. He may even challenge the governors reelection.

The list of people calling to recall California Governor Gavin Newsom growing. The latest to join is former san diego mayor kevin faulkner. He joins us now. Kevin, thanks so much for being here. Youre not that far away from the 1. 6 million you need to recall him why do you think has to happen . Why what do you think is his fault. There is a growing frustration throughout california. We need new leadership. And when we look at what hasnt been happening from the governors office. The conflicting rules and regulations in terms of covid the hypocrisy, all the other issues that have also been ignored here in california in terms of homelessness skyrocketing and our schools still arent open. This is frustration across the board. This is democrats, republicans and independence that understanded we need a change at the top in california. He is listening to whom shutting down gimenez to Outdoor Dining. The numbers say Outdoor Dining and so does the cdc say do it. Whats he going with . Thats the point. We look at some businesses in san diego that have been open and shut five different times. The fact that our Small Businesses you have to protect lives. We also have to protect livelihoods. And that is a message that has been lost, unfortunately on this governor. And thats why its incredibly important that we work together. We want to keep those numbers down. But we got to keep our economy moving as well. The fact that we have so many businesses shut in california, the fact that our schools arent open, thats why you are seeing a growing number of californians saying enough. Its time for a change. Brian your Republican Party is virtually invisible. I would hear that you would run if he is recalled. Is that correct . Oh, absolutely. I think, look, i have been very vocal about the need for leadership, change at the top. In fact, we are opening Exploratory Committee today. There is so much enthusiasm. There is so much energy. And thats the next step that we can stop organizing, energizing, raising dollars. Kevin people to go to kevin faulconer. Com. We need a chang in california and we need a change now. Brian you are a mayor or former mayor that thrives on east coast hours. You are wide awake at this hour which is not easy. Thanks, kevin, best of luck. Thank you, all the best.

Youre looking at atlanta as we are just one day away from georgias Crucial Senate runoff. People are fired up down here. Reporter whats amazing is you have dueling rallies. While the president s coming to dalton, down in Atlanta Joe Biden is going to hold a rally there. A growing number of republicans expected to reject the results of the 2020 election. Weve got to at least shine a light on fraud and these allegations and put these to bed. Steve nancy pelosi securing her fourth term as speaker of the house. The grip is slim, the majority is slimmer. Americans are fed up with it and we republicans are too. Julian assange will not be expedite canned to the u. S. , a british judge ruling it would be, quote, oppressive to his Mental Health to faces by imagine the charges to faces by imagine the charges. Its hauled in for the touchdown. Brian man, i want to talk about that game, but im going to go to this video instead. A live look at atlanta as were just one day away from georgias Crucial Senate runoff. Whop to get results that night we hope to get results that night, but i doubt it. Dueling rallies in the peach state, one will be in a ford she e can, and the orr will be outside shoulder to shoulder. You make the call. Steve we can see that big area. Democrat Raphael Warnock is taking on incumbent republican Kelly Loeffler, and democrat jon ossoff, a filmmaker, is facing incumbent republican senator david perdue. Ainsley we have Live Team Coverage this morning, fox Friends Weekend cohost will cain is in the city of atlanta, but first, Griff Jenkins is live in dalton, georgia, where supporters are already lining up to see him, right . If. Reporter thats right, ainsley, brian and steve, good morning. And and masked up because more and more people keep coming hours before the president gets here at 9 00. By the way, or its been nearly 30 years since a sitting president came. You can hear them chanting stop the steal. We have mike came all the way from indiana to wave this flag. Theyre fired up, they believe in the president x they want to hear him tonight. The president comes down amid the firestorm after that recording was leaked obtained by the Washington Post of the president pressuring georgias secretary of state on a call to secure enough votes to overturn the president ial results. Listen. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state. So tell me, brad, what are we going to do in we won the election, and its not fair to talk it away from us like to take it away from us like this. Reporter rathensberger confirms the call to fox news and has drawn criticism from the state gop chairman. The president also attacking Governor Brian Kemp over the weekend calling for his resignation, kemp for his part is finding himself between a rock and a hard place as they try to navigate the division, trying to put the focus back on democrats. Not just radical ideas that would transform our country, its radical candidates like Raphael Warnock. Well show the world that the people of georgia know whats at stake here. Were going to hold the line here in georgia. Reporter meanwhile, Vice President elect Kamala Harris was down in savannah yesterday on the attack. Watch. Certainly the voice of desperation, most certainly that, and it was a baldfaced, bold abuse of power by the president of the United States. Reporter so here comes dueling rallies. President elect joe biden will be down in atlanta at some point today, but then tonight the, 9 p. M. , these folks, the crowd already going, theyre chanting four more years, it it will be very interesting to see, guys, exactly what the president has to say in his message as he tries to turn out voters in north georgia, an area where the early voting has shown republicans need a strong showing. Brian its amazing how many people come to see griff do a live lotter. Steve theyre shouting four more minutes. [laughter] brian yeah, but theyre going to get will cain. They didnt know we had him in the bullpen. Hes ready to go. Griff, well see you again. The total mailin voters pretty astounding, almost a million, total inperson voting almost two million, the total vote is three million, they expect about 1. 3 million on election day. Are there indications thatll happen . Reporter well, certainly needed, as you pointed out, brian. Theres going to need to be a big election day turnout for republicans because whats on the line . Well, completely unobstructed power. Democrats control the house, the senate and the presidency, whats on the line . Listen to senator chuck schumer. Now we take georgia with and then we take the world. [inaudible] now we take georgia, then we change america. Reporter now we take georgia, then we change america. That raises the obvious question, what do you mean . Change america, does that mean adopting a governing philosophy that believes america is inherentlyville and racist . Does it mean to shut businesses down throughout this covid pandemic . Is it just raise taxes, pass the Green New Deal, change immigration laws, or is it change this country structurally . Add two more states to add four more senators, get rid of the filibuster, consolidate Democratic Power . What does it mean to change america . They might find out soon here in georgia. Steve well, if the democrats do lose, im sure theyll be going, hey, chuck, whyd you give them a sound bite . Reporter i know. Steve will, thank you very much. Well check back in in about 20 minutes. In griffs report, we saw a snippet of brian kemp, the governor there, and he has been steadfast in supporting the republicans in this reelection. But you know what . According to the Atlanta Journal constitution this morning, their lead story on politics is about how he has, for the most part, in this final push been missing in action aaside from on tv. Hes not appearing at the loeffler or perdue events, and one of the reasons is the fact that because the president has just, you know, he said the election there has been rigged, he said that brian kemp is a joke and hes clueless and he should quit. Its that intraparty squabbling that has some people worried, ainsley, that that could actually tamp down the election tomorrow because 100 it comes down to turnout tomorrow, and if the republicans do not turn out because they feel its rigged or, you know, the system is against donald trump and the republicans, that could be the difference right there. Ainsley so many people that voted for President Trump, assume all of them who voted for President Trump, are heart broken because their guy, it appears, is not going to be certified on wednesday. And they dont want to see that happen in georgia, they dont want these mailin votes, theyre worried about the election in four more years and how what happened during covid will affect the changes in four more years. So its extremely important. And mark levin on his show over the weekend, he was talking about how if you live in georgia and youre a republican, please go and vote, please do this for me, do this for the rest of the country because georgias voice will affect all of us. Steve right. And so its going to be really important what the president says tonight in dalton, georgia. Ainsley right. Steve if he continues to say its rigged and, you know, it was stolen from him, that may once again tamp things down. But then again, same time, the balance of power in the senate is hanging on those two seats. Iowans iowans yep. And theres a group of lawmakers that have gotten together, and they have said were going to challenge wednesday, because wednesday the votes are formally counted. And most people believe, you know, joe biden certified will be the president. So youve got this group thats worried about voter integrity like many of you are worried about, and so they are going to what are they calling it . Theyre calling it, theyre challenging the Electoral College certification. Theyre appointing a commission to investigate the fraud, and theyre calling for a 10day audit of the Election Results. James lankford said no matter how it turns out, we want the truth to come out. Even if you dont believe it was rigged, but many of you do, and if there is integrity, if voter integrity is on the line, the electoral integrity is on the line, why not investigate just to make sure those people who believe that it was rigged, that they have peace of mind . Brian i just dont know what theyre going to do different that his legal team hasnt done in the battleground statements in the 60 cases. A lot of the frustration is because a lot of these judges say theyll another going im not going to hear the case. That really is the frustration, why Marsha Blackburn has joined the other 12 like john kennedy, senator haggerty, marshall, loomis and tommy tube orerville and 100 plus in the house. Ainsley and its worked before, right . Brian i dont know if you consider it working, 1876 the commission to cut a deal that allowed rut orerford b. Hayes to be president , well taken troops out of South Carolina and florida after reconstruction, after the civil war if you just let this guy be president , and you dont Pay Attention to the second group of electors that was just pushed in in front. So, again, im not sure were going to cut that deal today or what that deal would look like. Senator Marsha Blackburn is marching forward. When there are allegations of fraud and when theres all this conversation that is taking place around the Election Results, one of the things that we should do is define the problem and then offer an action item that will get us to a solution. And thats exactlily what we are doing. Exactly what we are doing and what we said we would do in our statement in putting in place a commission that would conduct a review of what transpired, investigate the allegations. That is the appropriate, respectful step to take. It is constitutional. Brian Vulnerable People not taking that step, senator tom cotton and a group of seven House Republicans including congressman chip roy, people worried about the process. They know the president is upset about it and we know theres some problems, but not many people want to take this constitutional step. Its dividing the Republican Party. Steve sure. And, you know, ted cruz who is onboard with it, he is presumed to be somebody who would want to run for president in 2024 as is tom cotton, and tom cotton said not counting the electoral votes would take away the power to choose the prosecute president people president from the people and establish unwise precedents. Anyways, he does support a commission and to talk a little bit about are form which weve been talking about for three hours. Meanwhile, news time at 8 12 eastern time. Jillian . Reporter good morning. Overnight 12 people are shot in two separate shootings in south florida. Police say two gunmen randomly opened fire at a family at a park. Eight people were hurt including two teenagers, six in critical condition. Police are looking for the gunmen. Hours later, four people were shot outside a miami nightclub not far from the park. Investors are working to see if the investigators are working to see if the shootings are connected. Police say Troy Mcallister was driving drunk when he hit and killed two women on new years eve. He remained free despite being arrested several times in recent months. He was arrested in december for car theft but was never charged. Prosecutors say they will better monitor parolees.

Those are your headlines, and well send it back to you with. Steve so be it. Ainsley senator ron johnson calling out the Mainstream Media over Election Integrity concerns.

You have failed to offer specific evidence of that widespread fraud, but with youre demanding an investigation. Youre the arkansassonist here arsonist here. You completely ignored our investigation of hunter biden. You have destroyed the credibility of the news media i by your bias, and we are dismissing the concerns of tens of millions of americans. Brian that was a real brawl and a real conversation about a really important issue. Gop senator ron johnson defending his plan to challenge the election after sharp criticism. Your reaction to this five minute brawl. It really was, and i thought ron johnson did extraordinarily well, and i dont think chuck todd was prepared for him to actually answer the question. I would really encourage all the viewers to go back and check this out, because i think ron johnson did a phenomenal job making the argument, the case for his side. You know, look, years ago i worked for tommy thompson, the multiple times governor of wisconsin. There is definitely a power to that midwestern, nice approach to things [laughter] where you have the ability to have some clarity, to bring out and say the things that maybe not everybody else appreciates about whats going on in this moment. Chuck todd is somebody who, keep in mind, two years ago he went into the pages of what is now, sadly, a kind of garbage leftist rag, the atlantic, and said that fox news was responsible for downgrading the authority of the news media, of creatings mistrust creating mistrust and things like that. The same guy who was rolling with the steele dossier for years without any kind of consequences. This time around ron johnson is basically making the case this is the only way that i can go out there and give any kind of pushback to what i think is going on which is, you know, really unacceptable and that we have to have an election commission, we have to have something that looks into whats going on here. What weve really learned, brian, is we dont really have the entities set up here in hurricane to look into these kinds of to look into these the kinds of problems in a way that would bring forward facts, clarify questions people have. I think thats unfortunate, i think it needs to be addressed, and i think in any situation where a significant number of americans dont have faith in the electoral process, thats a bad thing. We need to address it. And a responsible media would be saying, okay, how do we address it, how do we resolve these questions as opposed to just playing politics and being, essentially, a partisan actor which is what you saw chuck todd doing. Brian right. What about the investigations we did do . What about the invest into hunter biden where you said that was russian propaganda . What about the facts that came out now that are now confirmed by places like the New York Times and emails that are now out, an investigation that we now know is ongoing . What about the fact the tweet the, the coup has started, rebellion and impeachment to follow ultimately . What about that story . He did not bring that up when it came down to chris krebs who said this election has been the pure pest ever pure ifest ever. Purest ever. He was worried about foreign entities, and he talked about the substance of his investigation that his Network Never covered. You know, i really think that chuck todd here did just a terrible job, but its to be expected from a lot of these Corporate Media entities who have essentially looked away from anything that they dislike, anything that they dont want to cover about whats happened the last several years. Theyve pretended like things have been the way they wanted them to be as opposed to the way that they actually are. Its Humpty Dumpty e and through the looking glass. Words mean what i want them to mean as opposed to the actual definition, and thats something that i think is going to be a continuing problem in the future because this is not going to a situation where they change or alter any of their behavior. And weve learned that from the last several years. Weve seen the degree to which theyre willing to participate in this, you know, ridiculous and over the top, you know, approach to covering politics where they pretend like dulyelected republican members are in some way conspiracy theorists, that theyre, you know, out there on the extreme as opposed to raising legitimate issues that a lot of americans cower about. Brian ben, real quick, are you on the side of tom cotton, investigate it but let the Electoral College cert fire, or are you in the camp of ted cruz, 10day pause . I i think you have to sort of stake out your position and say we would really like to get an investigation into this. We would like to have a commission on this. And i completely understand the people who are making that argument. On the flip side, i also have a lot of respect for people like you mentioned congressman chip roy, a longtime friend of mine who basically says im worried if we go down this road, were going to put the whole electoral the college road at risk. The real issue that i sigh see here, brian, is we do not have an approach that will allow us to investigate, to find the facts about this and to be able to bring them to the american poo. As it currently stands, we have not addressed these types of things in the past, and if were going to have mailin balloting, have this approach that was used in this election Going Forward, people need to be able to have trust and faith in it, and thats not something i i think were going to get out of this process. Brian brian and we should have had this mechanism after 1960. Here we are in 2020. Well get a look at that. Its going to be an interesting next few days. To me, its simple win georgia, help win back the house and then go get the white house back. Well see if he can pull that you have off. Meanwhile, he really feels like this was taken away from him. Ben, thanks. Always great to talk to you. Speaking of President Trump, he and joe biden hold dueling rallies.

Com ainsley were back with a live look at times square in new york city as the big apple struggles during the pandemic. The state of new york saw a record decline in population. Grady trimble from our Sister Networks fox business, joins us live from chicago with more as illinois also saw a mass exodus. Grady . Reporter good morning, ainsley. Many americans are starting the new year in a new state. We were already seeing this trend of people leaving hightax states before the pandemic, and then the pandemic sped it right up. As you mentioned, new york and illinois leading with the largest amount of population loss between july of 2019 and july of 2020. California not too far behind. Illinois, by the way, has seen its population shrink by a greater amount each of the last seven years, so why is this happening . Well, high taxes certainly play a part, but people are also looking to live in areas where they can afford a bigger house with more space during the pandemic. And with work from home continuing into 2021, it is likely people who have moved will stay put, and the trend might even continue more. As far as the states that people are moving to, the top three are texas, florida and arizona. One thing you might notice about a all three of those states, they are known for their warmer weather as i stand here in the snow in chicago. And two of those three states, texas and florida, ainsley, have no state the income tax. So is that just a countries dense . What do you think . Ainsley steve and i were talking earlier, grady, that our Christmas Card list changed so much because so many people have left this area, and all of my friends that moved down to florida, theyre not coming back, unfortunately. Thanks, grady. Steve, over to you. Hes steefs ainsley, thank you. President trump and president elect joe biden making their final pitch to georgia votersed today with dueling rallies ahead of tomorrows crucial runoff elections. That will decide which Party Controls the u. S. Senate. Fox news contributor and former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich joins us. He knows a thing or two about georgia. Hes from there. Newt, good morning to you. Good morning. Steve so if the president of the United States goes to dalton, georgia, tonight and he says, listen, i want you to vote for Kelly Loeffler and david perdue but then also gets into, you know, the election in november was rigged and it was stolen from me, are you one of the republicans who worries that could actually discourage turn tomorrow . Because its all about turnout tomorrow. No, look, i think trumps going to be trump, whatever that means. And the people who love him are going to go along with it. His job tonight is to remind his supporters which, you know, repalin party Republican Party has a huge base that they need to get out and vote tomorrow. I think hell do that. And if they do get out and vote tomorrow and if the 8,000 poll watchers, the most in history, watch carefully e the counting of the ballot, i suspect late tomorrow night or early on wednesday well find out that senator perdue and senator loeffler have been elected. But im not very worried. I mean, theres no point if you want to get trump to come down, hell be trump. Steve yeah. And its huguely unlikely that hes not going to Say Something about how he feels and about the rex results the Election Results in georgia, but hes also going to tell people that the only way to change it is to go vote. And so if you care for his values and you care for the values that have traditionally been american, you have to go vote. And, by the way, the House Democrats just reaffirmed that both by having the opening prayer end with amen and i awoman which is language wise totally stupid and then by having in their rules a proposal to abolish 26 words like father, mother, daughter to create gender security. Just a reminder to the average georgia began when we say radical, we mean radical, because thats who they are. Steve newt, georgia has changed a lot since you were running for office down there back in the day. The county was with, obviously, a Newt Gingrich stronghold, but now its a democratic stronghold. What is happening to the political profile of georgia . Well, its a fascinating demographic. What basically happened that strong Republican Voters have moved further and further out to small towns and communities like dalton or like rome, like gainesville. And at the same time, people who were crammed into the center of atlanta have, as theyve gotten with think, i mean, one of the great virtues of the trump economy was the lowest black Unemployment Rate in history. Well, as people get more money, they like to move to the suburbs which is perfectly normal. And, by the way, trump got a much higher black and latino vote this year,9 and the Republican Party has consistently been doing better because, again, people who are earning a living, working hard tend to have an increasing bias towards us and towards lower taxes. And youve had some two dozen africanamerican pastors come out and attack Raphael Warnock for being so rabidly proabortion and so willing to use tax money to pay for abortion. Is so there are values issues there too. And i think that youll find that we do better or continue to do better with asian, la e tee know and africanamerican votes as how high tax and, frankly, how high unemployment the democrats are. Steve unique analysis. Newt gingrich, sir, thank you very much. Well see what happens. All right, meanwhile, straight ahead, House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy called out democrats for radical policies. Hes here next as the new Congress Faces a very busy e first week.

Tomorrow the Georgia Senate runoffs, and thats why youre looking at a live shot of atlanta right now. We have a group of reporters down there, will cain is down there, fox Friends Weekend cohost. Will, this is huge. More than 3 Million People have already voted. That is unheard of. That is higher than ever before for a runoff, will. Reporter it is, because so much is at stake, ainsley. Weve talked about it throughout the morning, whats at stake here in georgia. Were talking about a progressive agenda, structural change or just a vision of government and the governed. Why dont we take it in the words of Stacey Abrams on what she thinks is at stake. Listen to this. Its active, is so republicans have done it for us. Their refusal to pass 2,000 relief checks, the hypocritical idea that its okay to support business but not to support the business of government, the business of serving the people has really galvanized voters. They feel the very real consequences of covid19 here in georgia where weve had more than 630,000 infections, we have more than 10,000 deaths, and we have hospitals at capacity. Republicans have no intention of responding to covid19, and they know we, the president elect joe biden, have a partnership in the senate, and thats why joe biden needs Raphael Warnock and jon ossoff. Reporter he needs unobstructed government. Lets focus in on one statement if we can, the hypocritical idea that its okay to support business but not support the business of government. I struggle to find the perfect if analogy, but i believe its like the victim of a crime beinged and the criminal who committed that crime going, well, what about me . Government is the entity shutting down Small Businesses. Government is the entity enforcing lockdowns, and she turns and says what about aid to government . Really stunning. And one more thing, theres no such thing as the business of government. Government doesnt create profit, government moves money around like a bulldozer shoving dirt from one side to other. Its not in any business. Brian very good point. Were not in any business, but theyre very good at destroying businesses. No state is more locked down than california, it remains for weeks now the epicenter of the virus. The lockdowns arent working, livelihoods are being destroyed. Good combination. Will, thanks so much. Reporter thank you. Brian lets bring in House Minority leader who was almost speaker, Kevin Mccarthy. Congressman, it was a very close vote. You deserve a lot of credit for the fact that republicans now are in striking distance in the house. Not one expert predicted this. People had been focused on the presidency, not enough on this unbelievable news that came out for republicans in the house. Do you believe that nancy pelosi realizes shes going to have to actually do deals with you to get anything done . I dont think thats in her nature to ever want to work with republicans. Weve seen it time and again. But if you watch whats going to happen on the floor today, theyre going to change the rules. And theyre changing the rules only to cheat the minority. And theyre not just changing the rule thats been around for a little while, its been for the history of the entire congress, the minority has always a had the ability to offer an amendment on a bill. They are taking that away. Theyre trying to silence our vote, theyre trying to silence our speech. In essence, our constituents. And watch what she did yesterday, such a razor thin to even win the speakership, she brought a member back who has not been to Congress Since may and had covid starting on december 28th and was not, did not test negative before she allowed that person to come back. That is how fearful she is of losing this majority and changing the rules on this floor. How is that allowed . They have the votes, thats the unfortunate part. And think about it, for every single democrat that voted for nancy pelosi, they voted to put a person back on the Intel Committee, swalwell, whos been with the chinese only because she could not are move that person because she needed his vote for speaker. Steve that says a lot. Lets talk about this, there was a recording like people have never heard before where the president of the United States is on the phone talking to the georgia secretary of state and his general counsel, mark meadows was there in the oval office and things like that. It sounds like the president is telling brad rathensberger, hey, gotta find about 12,000 votes because this was stolen from me, theyre there somewhere. How do you interpret what you heard and what you read about what the president and the georgia secretary of state were talking about . What i read about the president s always been concerned about the integrity of the election. And the president believes that there are things that happened in georgia, and he wants to see the accountability for it. But, look, does anybody in america think the last election was done well . Rhyme still waiting on a race im still waiting on a race in new york that has not been declaired yet. Steve yeah, two races. Yeah. What has happened in this last election because of covid, people just sending ballots out to anyone whos on the rolls. These rolls have not been cleaned up. And this isnt the first time this has happened. When are we going to straighten out our elections, and when can we have a debate about the integrity, and thats what the house should be doing and the senate. This should never happen again in the future. Weve watched it before. We have to change it, and we have to make sure that our elections are accountable, have integrity and are safe. Ainsley yeah. I watched you last night when you gave that beautiful. Speech talking about your dad being a firefighter, and you said i will never defund the police. You know, that message, they stopped using that message after they realized it wasnt polling well with democrats. Whats going on in the state of georgia . Do you think theyll flipflop on that if they win, these democrats . Oh, theyre going to flipflop on it. They cant give they cant say amen to a prayer . You cannot saw youre a father, a son, a mother or a daughter . You cheat the minority on a vote on the floor. Theyre not coming closer to what the American People want, theyre going further away to protect their extreme radical views. The only thing in the Democratic Party that grew was the squad. You know, not one republican lost in the last election, and what their whole mantra the last congress was the least Productive Congress in 50 years. Did they change the course to make it more open for more voices to be heard . So youd have more input . They reelected a speaker who went the entire summer who said its better to do nothing on covid than to do something, and they want to accuse the republicans of not acting . They want to defund the police while our streets were burning, they chanted. That is why the republicans are are going to hold to our commitment to america to rebuild this nation, to restore integrity. Brian right. And, of course, even in you talk about our states being safe. In portland 200 plus days of protest, the left wing mayor finally says ive had it with antifa, ive tried to reason with you, now were going to crack down. Good luck. Half your cops quit. That is the blueprint that these Democratic Candidates want the rest of the country to have which is just astounding to me this hasnt been said more. Lets see if the president brings it up tonight, i have a hunch he will. Again, Kevin Mccarthy the, not enough people give you credit for what happened in the house. You had less money, less publicity but produced a phenomenal result and not one seat lost. Thanks so much for joining us today. Thank you very much. Brian all right.

Well, the record youth voter turn this past november shows no signs of slowing down in georgia, the Senate Runoff for tomorrow. And social media, the app tiktok is i playing a major role, watch this. Ainsley that video was viewed more than 366,000 times on tiktok, but our next guest fears that the youth voters or are not only theyre only hearing one side of the political spectrum, and they dont know the other, the issues of the other candidates. Georgia native jeremy hunt, he joins me now. Great to have you back on. Great to be with you, good morning. Ainsley youre welcome. Youre a west point grad, yale law school, youre from georgia. What do you expect this. Well, look, ive already cast my early vote for senators per due and levler when i was at home, and im telling you the young people are really getting involved, theyre really participating in our democrat, and democracy, and thats a great thing. The problem is, yeah, theyre only hearing it from the left. And i can even attest here at yale, some of my classmates, im not sure theyve had much, if any, interaction with conservatives. Just a few weeks ago i was on a zoom call, and i just said, look, heres what i believe. I believe americas the greatest cup on earth, heres why i volunteered to serve, i think the constitutions worth defend, and, you know, it was really interesting because i think a lot of times if you just dont hear the conservative viewpoint, a lot of them have no context for it at all. So i think conservatives moving forward have to do even better really sharing what we believe, why we believe it if we want to reach new audiences and grow the conservative view. Ainsley well, when you have jon ossoff running, i guess hes the youngest i know he is of all four candidate in georgia, and 11 of that state are g e n plaintiff z, so theyre young. When they get on their tiktok i accounts and see his videos and he looks cool, is that the guy theyre going to vote for . You know, it definitely has a strong influence. I mean, my i have a little sister the, she watches tiktok awps aibs yep, my babysitter too. Exactly. Heres the thing, the i think the pressure comes from inside the home to teach values has to be great or than the pressure coming outside the home to appease these cultural trends. You know, im thankful that i grew up with a mother and a father that taught me a coherent belief system predicated on our christian faith, taught me, you know, what it means to believe in america, and on top of that free come is freedom is, look, only one generation away from extinction.
