Here is the problem. We can go through signature verification. We will find hundreds of thousands of signatures, if you let us do it. The only way you can do it as you know is to go to the past. You didnt do that. You just looked at one page compared to another. The only way you can do a signature verification is from the one that signed it in on november whatever, recently, and compare it to two years ago, four years ago, six years ago or even one. You will find that you have many different signatures. In fulton, where they dumped ballots, you will find you have many that arent even signed. You have many that are forgeries. Okay . You know that. You know that. You have no doubt about that. You will find you will be at 11,779 within minutes, because Fulton County is totally corrupt and so is she totally corrupt. Theyre going around playing you and laughing at you behind your back, brad, whether you know it or not. They are laughing at you. You have taken a state thats a republican state and made it almost impossible for a republican to win, because of cheating, because they cheated like nobodys ever cheated before. I dont care how long it takes me. We are going to have other state com states coming forward. We have some incredible talent said they have never seen anything the problem is they need more time for the big numbers. But there are substantial numbers. I think you are going to find by the way, a little information. I think you are going to find that they are shredding ballots because they have to get rid of the ballots. The ballots are eunsigned. The ballots are corrupt. They are brandnew and dont have seals. Theres a whole thing with the ballots. The ballots are corrupt. You are going to find which is illegal. Its more illegal for you than it is for them, because you know what they did and you are not reporting it. Thats a criminal offense. You cant let that happen. Thats a big risk to you and to ryan, your lawyer. Thats a big risk. They are shredding ballots, based on what i heard. They are removing machinery and theyre moving it as fast as they can. Both of which are criminal finds. You cant let it happen. You are letting it happen. Im notifying you, you are letting it happen. All i want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state and flipping the state is a great testament to our country. Theres just its a testament that they can admit to a mistake or whatever you want to call it, if it was a mistake. I dont know. A lot of people think it wasnt a mistake. It was much more criminal than that. But its a big problem. This is the sitting president of the United States. The leader of the free world pushing for an alternate ending to the lawful vote confirmed and certified in georgia just like all 50 states with no factual basis. The president repeatedly trying to pressure him into probing conspiracy theories. They refused. Thats President Donald Trump trying to force the top Elections Official in georgia into somehow finding enough votes to change the outcome of the 2020 president ial election in that state, following at least three recounts there, even a signature audit in one of the big counties, like he asked for. This is hours before that audio came out, he shut down the president s attempts to spin the call before the world got a chance to hear it. Now we know what really happened. This sunday, the man who led the effort to convict President Trump after his impeachment just one year ago, house intelligence chairman adam schiff, is suggesting the president s actions are potentially criminal. The senates number two democrat, dick durbin saying, quote, his disgraceful effort to intimidate an elected official strikes at the heart of democracy and merits nothing less than a criminal investigation. Chuck schumers message for trump allies in the electioral college battle, you want to investigate Election Fraud . Start with this. We begin our coverage this hour in georgia. We are down to the final hours until this Crucial SenateRunoff Election in georgia. Thats where you heard from Vice President elect Kamala Harris this afternoon. Whats she saying about this explosive audio . Lets remember why she matters so much here. If the democrats are able to flip these two seats in georgia, these senate seats, and these democratic challengers win, then it would be Vice President elect Kamala Harris as the Vice President , she becomes a tiebreaker and democrats effectively have control of the u. S. Senate and the house. That is what is at stake. Thats why you are hearing her really go after the president about this audio. Here is what she said. Have you heard about that recorded conversation . Well, it was the voice of desperation. Most certainly that. And it was a bald baldfaced, bold abuse of power by the president of the United States. Lets review what has happened here in the state of georgia. There has not just been this election, the first count. There was a statewide audit. There was a hand recount. Then there was a signature match in cobb county, one of the most populous counties in georgia. This was done here in the state of georgia. Yet, the president is still saying that on the phone call. This is georgia. Even if the results from this election were somehow overturned, it wouldnt make a difference in the overall result. Joe biden would still have more than 270 electoral votes to win. So why do this . I think the president cannot accept the fact that he was defeated. Look, he is today the most powerful person on earth as the president of the United States. In 18 days, he is going to be a private senate, 74 year s old with major legal and financial problems. Thats a big transition. Donald trump is somebody who psychologically has found it very difficult to accept the idea that he could lose, be a loser. That was part of his upbringing. We read about that in mary trumps book earlier this year or last year, rather. Donald trump is struggling with the blow to his ego, to his reputation, to his image. And he cant give it up. He is going to have to give it up because he lost the election. Congress is going to end up certifying that Electoral College tally as all 50 states have. Joe biden will be president on january 20th. He is going to be kicking and screaming all the way. I appreciate your reporting tonight. Thank you both. Let me bring in the democratic senator. What did you hear in the phone call . I heard a desperate president , delusional president who knows the walls are closing in on him. And is trying his last great con. He has gotten away with this so many times. Republican members of congress have let him get away with it. This time he has run up against a wall. You have both the secretary of state, the republican secretary of state and the governor of georgia standing up for what everybody else knows is reality, which is the fact that joe biden and Kamala Harris won in georgia. The president cant stand it. He is looking for every way out. Whats been really, really despicable is to watch so Many Republican senators fuel this false narrative of the president. Senator dick durbin says this merits a criminal probe. Do you agree . It has all the almost eleme criminal action. You have the president trying to illegally change the results of an election by essentially threatening the secretary of state and others here. I certainly think it merits a good look. Whether or not people decide to actually prosecute at some point, thats a separate issue. The president is facing many potential legal actions when he leaves office in 17 days. What can congress do about this . Well, in the shortterm, what i Hope Congress will do is resoundly reject the president s challenge and efforts to overturn the results. Congress will have a chance to do that on wednesday. Sadly, we have seen these republican senators, 12 of them now, line up to undermine our democracy as part of their own political ambition, and support and spread these lies. I would say that in the case of the georgia senators who, of course, are on the ballot tuesday, they have so far said nothing about the president s attack on the rule of law and the peoples will in the state of georgia. The people of georgia deserve to hear where they stand on this important matter. Have to say it crossed my mind as republicans are planning to mount this Electoral College dispute on wednesday. Will democrats will you be playing parts of this recording on the senate floor . Well, this recording just exposes the fact that all of this has been a pure power play by the president. His legal actions all ran dry. They were rejected overwhelmingly. Now he has taken to threatening. I would hope that this tape gives some pause to republican senators who might otherwise have been planning to go along with this charade. Sadly, what we have seen time and again is them feed his narrative. In the process, of their appeasing him time and again, they have created this monster who has really devoured the Republican Party. I have to say, we will definitely point to this recording as an example how the president is trying to bully his way to overturning the election. But what we have seen from republicans time and again, so many of them, is this willingness to feed the president s delusions. Have you been in touch with any of your republican colleagues today . Could this be a red line for any of those people who havent, up to this point at least, broken with the president . I have not spoken to any of them today. I was heartened by some of the statements we have seen from people like senator toomey. Senator mitt romney. Those were important statements. Right now, they represent a relatively small number of the republican caucus. Hopefully, that perspective will gain traction. And on wednesday, we will have a chance to debate it. I think its going to be really important that those republican senators who are going to stand for upholding the rule of law and against overturning this election based on this fraudulent narrative, its going to be really important that they stand up and speak very clearly and forcefully. Senator ted cruz is expected to object to the certification of joe bidens win. Here is how he defended that decision. Dismissing these claims i think does real violence to our democratic system. We ought to have a serious fair process and tribunal to consider these, consider them quickly. We can do it in ten days before the inauguration. That would take major steps towards reestablishing trust in our democratic process. Senator, whats your response . Look, this is such a charade. He really should be embarrassed, because he knows better. Whats happened here, of course, is the president has fed a lie. Instead of standing up to it, senator cruz and others have fed that lie. Now they are saying, millions of americans have fallen for what we have said. They, therefore, we have to have this commission to show that the lies that we have been telling are not really true. That say bunis a bunch of none. Most people see through it. Their own Senate Republican colleagues have called out what this is. This is the beginning of the race for the 2024 republican president ial nomination. You see a lot of these trump wannabes, at least republican senators who want to pick up the trump following, instead of standing up for the constitution and protecting oath of office, theyre engaging in this antidemocratic farce. It really is a sad day for the Republican Party when they engage in this kind of activity. Unfortunately, its what we have come to expect. Its not going to change the outcome. Joe biden is still going to be worn in. But does this have longterm consequences . You are right. The good news is in 17 days, joe biden and Kamala Harris will be sworn in. The bad news is donald trump is there for another 17 days. As we have seen, can do a lot of damage. The damage is longterm. This does eat away at Public Confidence in our democracy. You do have these millions of americans who have been fed this false narrative. Joe biden has made it clear, he is going to work very hard to unite the country. But what these republican senators are doing is making it that much harder, because they are again engaging in this lie that somehow donald trump was cheated out of an election. This is just going to mean that sdwr joe bidens task is that much harder. Were going to have to come together as americans to try to make sure that we can tackle those challenges. What we are seeing from the likes of senator ted cruz and senator hawley is poisoning the well. I appreciate your time this evening. Thanks for joining us. We will watch very closely come pennsylvania. Gothank you. You will hear more as we continue here in the cnn newsroom. We will talk about the legality of all of this with Preet Bharara next. You 5 years, home instead has helped seniors stay home. Now, staying home isnt just staying in the place they love. Its staying safe. Home instead. To us, its personal. Wr. President trump pressuring george georgia secretary of state to change election results. We have Preet Bharara, who was fired by the president , joins us. He is standing by. We will talk with him. Listen to another extended portion of this call that is stunning the nation tonight. Mr. President , the challenge that you have is the data you have is wrong. We talked to the congressmen. They were surprised. I guess theres a person that came to the meetings and presented data. He said that there was dead people i believe it was upward of 5,000. The number were two. Two people that were dead that voted. Thats wrong. That was two. How do you respond to that . You tell me. I will say, mr. Secretary, one of the things that we have requested what we have said was if you look if you read our petition, it says that we took the names and birth years and we had certain Information Available to us. We have asked from your office for records that only you have. We said, theres a universe of people who have the same name and same birth year and died. We dont have the records that you have. One of the things that we have been suggesting formally and informally for weeks now is to try is for you to make available to us the records that would be necessary to confirm even before you do that not including that. Thats why i hardly included that number. In one state, we have a tremendous amount of dead people. Im sure we do in georgia, too. But we are so far ahead of these numbers, even the phony ballots of [ bleep ], known scammer, you know the internet, you know what was trending on the internet, where is [ bleep ], because they thought you would be in jail, where is [ bleep ]. Its crazy. Its crazy. That was the minimum number is 18,000 for [ bleep ]. They think its probably about 56,000. The minimum number is 18,000 under [ bleep ] where she ran back in there when everybody was gone and stuffed she stuffed the ballot boxes. Lets face it. They did it in slow motion replay magnifiemagnified. She stu she stuffed the ballot boxes like nobody has seen them before. Theres a term for it when its a machine instead of a ballot box. She stuffed the machine. Each ballot went three times. They were showing. Here is ballot number one. Here it is a second time, third time. Next ballot. Look, this is we have a new tape that we are going to release. Its devastating. By the way, that bun one event more than 11,000 votes that we are talking about. That one event was a disaster. It was something that it cant be disputed. We have a version that you havent seen. Its magnifiemagnified. You can see everything. She puts for some reason they put it in three times, each ballot. I dont know why. I dont know why three times. Why not five times . Go ahead. You are talking about the state video. I think its extremely unfortunate that Rudy Giuliani or his people, they sliced and diced that video and took it out of context. The next day we brought in wsbtv. What you will see, events are nowhere near what was projected by where were the poll watchers . There were no watchers there. There were democrats or republicans. There was no security. It was late in the evening or early in the morning. There was nobody in the room. Where were the poll watchers . Why did they say a water main broke . Which is reported in the newspapers. They said they left they ran out because of a water main break. There was no water main. There was no break. There was no water main break. If you take out everything, where were the republican poll watchers . Even, where were the Democrat Poll watchers . There were none. You say, they left their station. If you look at the tape this was this was reviewed by professional police and detectives and other people. When they left in a rush, everybody left in a rush, because of the water main. Everybody left in a rush. These people left their station. When they came back, they didnt go to their station. They went to the apron, wrapped around the table, under which were thousands and thousands of ballots in a box that was an official or sealed box. Then they took those and they went back to a different station. If they would have come back, they would have walked to their station and they would have continued to work. They couldnt do even that, because thats illegal, because they had no republican poll watchers. Remember, her reputation is shes known all over the internet, brad. As our banner says, these are lies, this is misinformation, these are conspiracy theories. These are a bunch of allegations. They have been investigated. The issues have been litigated. Theres no, no evidence that there was any kind of Election Fraud or any irregularity that would change the result of the election in georgia or any other state. Lets talk with Preet Bharara. Im curious how you would characterize it. The same way you would. Its making arguments that are innuendo. Desperate. They dont fly in any way, shape or form. Whats interesting is, the president is very specific about one thing. At one point, i dont think in the segment that was played, he says he needs 11,7
