about the bigger part after the 20th of january next year. these people are in trouble. jeff, thank you. good story, such as it is out there in chicago. thanks, everybody, for watching us as we report the news to you "after the bell." i'm connell mcshane in new york. have a good afternoon, we'll see you monday. ♪ ♪ david: good evening, everyone, i'm david asman sitting in for the vacationing lou dobbs. we gun this evening with the latest on the battle for the white house. the republican party in arizona today announced plans to bring forward a case before the supreme court in support of president trump. arizona republicans saying they will appeal an election integrity case that was dismissed earlier this week by the state supreme court. as that case is drawn up, president trump and his legal team are eagerly awaiting an order from the supreme court on another lawsuit brought forward by the state of texas. now, this lawsuit seeks to challenge the election results in pennsylvania, wisconsin,

michigan and georgia. for the very latest, we turn to fox news correspondent kevin corke in washington. hi, kevin. >> reporter: evening, david. there are actually more names added to the list of republicans signing on to an amicus brief that, if successful, would, in fact, overturn the results of the 2020 election. house leader kevin mccarthy signing on along with 19 of his colleagues have been added to that brief. in total, 126 gop members from the house have added their names to the brief. let me take you to twitter, respect tuf mike johnson who initially filed the brief, then recruited his colleagues to up sign on to it, posted on twitter that 20 names would have been included on thursday but for a, quote, clerical error. and another big name i can tell you about, georgia respective doug collins is also on that the -- respective doug collins is also on that list. there are names like devin nuñes and liz cheney missing, but

we'll see if that changes in the days to come. texas, as you know, claims coronavirus-related changes to each state's election procedures violated the constitution. texas' a.g., ken paxton, who filed the lawsuit says texas has standing because the folks in his state didn't have their voices heard because other state elections were not conducted properly. so far as you mentioned, 17 other states have filed a brief in support of the texas lawsuit. now, to be fair, create ins have called this suit -- critics have called in this suit unserious from the outset with pennsylvania's attorney general calling it, quote, a seditious abuse of the judicial process. but backers say this is precisely the venue where this case needs to be heard, and we'll see how it plays out in the days ahead. david? david: these critics were the same people saying there was nothing to the hunter biden story -- >> reporter: exactly. david: kevin corke reporting. good to see you, my friend. while the battle for the white house continues, there are new details emerging about the

federal investigation into joe biden's son, hunter biden. the "wall street journal" reporting attorney general william barr knew about numerous investigations into hunter biden's overseas business dealings since at least last spring. now, barr worked to keep the probes out of public view during the election to avoid politicizing the doj, according to the story in the "wall street journal." a spokeswoman declined to comment, but congressman andy biggs, head of the house freedom caucus, says barr's actions ultimately hurt president trump. listen. >> a.g. barr, i mean, excuse for, hey, look, we didn't want to influence the election. you know what you did? you suppressed very important investigations that were going on that you've been doing for a long time. how long did the fbi have that laptop for hunter biden? about a year now. whew did they suppress it? what were they doing? why did we not know any of this?

why wasn't congress given that information so we could -- investigation -- information so we could conduct investigations? david: in a tweet, president trump, quote: why didn't the fake news media, the doj and the fbi report the matter before the election? this is a question that many of us have been asking. the daily beast today provided an incredible answer. they wrote that evidence of an investigation into hunter biden was, quote: apparent in the markings on a series of documents that were made public but went largely unnoticed in the days leading up to the november election. the corporate-owned media, of course, was all too willing to allow the hunter biden report to go, quote, largely unnoticed. they said nothing as the story was censored entirely by social media giants facebook and twitter. two companies that still refuse to answer for their role in interfering in the election. then, of course, there were the likes of "the washington post" columnist greg sargent. he called "the new york post" bombshell reports on hunter e

biden's laptop, quote, trump's fake new biden scandal. politico published a letter signed by 50 former intel officials who said the report was, quote, russian disinformation. obviously with no evidence to support their theme. now, the letter was signed by none other than john brennan and james clapper. these are the very same people who actually used russian disinformation to try and bring down president trump in 2016. there was also npr's managing editor, dennis samuels, who arrogantly announced, quote, we don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don't want to waste the listeners' e and readers' time on stories that are just pure distractions. sounds like it's right out of the kremlin. the dismissal of the biden corruption scandal still continues to this day. fox news was the only outlet to ask joe biden today about the scandal. biden would only say he is,

quote, proud of his son. we will be taking up the coordinated effort to hide the biden corruption scandal with a great lineup of guests this evening. we're joined by just the news editor in chief john solomon. he has been reporting and has new reports about hunter biden's business deals in ukraine. judicial watch president tom fitton is with us to take up i why the doj kept the investigation under wraps for so long. we're also joined by congressman devin nuñes on what congress is doing in the battle for the white house and pastor jeff rest is also with us -- jeff e rest is also with us later in the broadcast. turning now to promising developments from operation warp speed. health and human services secretary alex azar today said the first china virus advantage city nations in the united states could be given out as early as the beginning of next week. azar says the fda is on the verge of approving pfizer's vaccine for emergency use nationwide. fox news correspondent mike

tobin is live outside a manufacturing plant in kalamazoo, michigan, where i'm sure they're getting ready for distribution, right, mike? >> reporter: they certainly are getting ready. if the approval goes through tonight or tomorrow, it's only going to take a short time for millions of doses to start leaving this massive facility here in kalamazoo, michigan, another one in pleasant prairie, wisconsin. 2.9 million doses have leave -- can leave within 24 hours. half of the doses need to stay here in cold storage, and that is because the pfizer vaccine requires a follow-up shot. one shot was 50% effect u at fighting the virus, a second shot proved 95% effect i. health and human services secretary alex azar said if the eua is approved on the expected timeline, people could is that right getting shots monday or tuesday. other officials say the pandemic isn't over, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel. >> it's really in our sight.

with 20 million people being able to be vaccinated in december, 30 million in january and another 50 million in february, just with the two vaccines we know about now, pfizer and moderna, we know the end of the pandemic is in sight. but we still have a lot of work to do until most people can get vaccinated and the pandemic goes away. >> reporter: ups and fedex will be handling this very sophisticated, ultra-cold shipping chain that will take the vaccine out to all the points of use. once it is at the points of use, statements get control over who gets priority for the vaccination, then the priority generally will be health care workers and at-risk populations, people like those who are in nursing homes. david? david david good stuff. mike tobin reporting. thank you very much, mike. coming up next, is there more tax trouble for hunter biden? an e-mail found on his abandoned laptop seems to suggest so. just the news editor-in-chief john solomon joins us after a few quick messages.

apparently continue, john. [laughter] you know, there was a time, my friend, when journalists like us would work closely with prosecutors to try to get to the bottom of the story. not just to protect political contacts and people that you favored politically -- >> so true. david: bob morgan they and the wall street journal page where i worked, we brought down that very corrupt bank. let me just play to you how different things ared today. first of all, or we're going to list a very suspicious group of quotes from joe biden, what he told the press about his son's business dealings. roll tape, and i'll then play you another one. >> no one has indicated of any consequence that anything was done wrong or illegally by me or by my son. my son has not made money in terms of this thing about, what are you talking about, china.

it's a bunch of garbage. nobody believes it. of there's absolutely zero basis to the accusation that i acted any way inappropriately or that my son did. you know there's not one single bit of evidence, not one little, tiny bit that anything done was wrong. dade david you can see the journalists kind of nodding, they all accepted this despite the growing amount of evidence. and, in fact, completely denied the evidence that was beginning to accumulate because of people like you. let me play -- roll that tape of the journalists. go ahead. >> charges so heinous, i'm not even going to saw them. >> talking about the bidens' personal corruption, a little bit about hunter biden. most of those charges unverified. >> whole smear -- >> and the question the media asks, what flavor of ice cream do you have, and he's in the midst of a scandal -- >> he's not. >> of course he is, leslie.

>> come on. david: come on, man, to quote joe biden. [laughter] besides people like yourself, is journalism dead? >> i'll tell you, curiosity in journalism, at least as it comes to democrats, seems to be dead. all this time when joe biden was making those comments, they were sitting in documents made public clear warnings that burisma, while hunter biden was on the board, made bribe payments. they got referred to the fbi. we knew for a year that this laptop had been given to the fbi in the money laundering and tax case. there was a tax evasion case. we now know the media just didn't want to find this story, it stuck its head in the sand and now is trying to play a little bit of dishonest catch-up. i think the facts are going to continue to come out each and every day. the family of joe biden made lots of money following in the vapor trail of his vice president vice presidency, and all of it is going to get detailed before we're done reporting.

david: since you're one of the few reporters that does things the old-fashioned way, working with prosecutors and people that are digging up real evidence, not just supposition or covering up for people, what exactly is hunter being investigated for? there was talk earlier about money laundering charge that was actually leveled against that chinese company he was working with, right? >> right. that's right. so there are really three things that have gone on. there was some information that came in regarding the chinese investments and suspicions of money laundering that began with what are known as suspicious activity reports filed by financial institutions, money flowing into companies around hunter biden. 9 it looked suspicious, the banks reported under what's known as a sars. secondly, there was a whistle blower in one of these financial institutions that last december, december 2019, filed whistleblower complaints with the securities and exchange commission and the irs saying i believe there are some

suspicious activities, maybe some income tax evasion that was going on in companies around hunter biden. and then, third, the laptop by that delaware store opener getting turned over to the -- store owner getting turned over to the fbi. those three sources of evidence have merged into this tax case, and i think they're at the end stages of that investigation. david: the crux of the matter, as you say, is when this relationship between hunt or biden and the chinese -- burisma, we'll talk about that later on in the show -- but it began when joe biden was vice president of the united states. i know a lot of these e-mails are 2017 after trump was elected, but the relationship actually started when hunter biden flew on air force two with the vice president, joe biden, he stepped off the plane. the chinese saw that clearly he was the favored son, literally, of the vice president and began making deals with him. this was putting the family reputation of the bidens in jeopardy.

there was no problem with them doing that in order to make a deal with the chinese. >> yeah. listen, there was no shame. the family was overt in its pursuit of foreign cash on every area where joe biden had foreign policy responsibility. that that's what's so interesting. biden's responsibilities were russia, china, ukraine. those were the main ones he took over in the obama administration. where did hunter biden and his business associates go looking for money? from a russian oligarch, a ukrainian oligarch and chinese businessmen directly tied to the chinese military. this was an operation, a shakedown operation i think a lot of people would call it, and for joe biden to sit up there and say he didn't make any money, man, this isn't right, it's just not true. the tax returns are going to show just how much money hunter biden made and also how much money he may have missed paying taxes on. david: all of the money. you know, this is cashing in on dealing with the enemy. you think of all of the ways in which china threatens our future

existence from the way they dealt with the covid pandemic to what they're doing in the south china sea, to how they're infiltrating american institutions, and they were trading for the security of the united states so that they could enrich themselves. it's extraordinary. john solomon, we've got to leave it there, but great reporting. we really appreciate what you're doing. and we would like to hear from you, your thoughts on all of this. share your comments and follow lou on twitter @loudobbs, like hum on facebook and follow hum on instagram and parler @loudobbstonight. coming up next, just how much did former ukraine ambassador marie yovanovitch know about burisma's corrupt ways? judicial watch president tom fitton is going to be joining us with what he has learned. and be sure to spread a little christmas cheer. order lou's new book, "the trump century" at loudobbsshop.com. you can also get an official

♪ ♪ david: welcome back. i'm david asman sitting in for the vacationing lou dobbs. well, judicial watch has obtained documents from former ambassador to the ukraine marie yovanovitch in which she warns about the corruption of burisma. in a 2017 e-mail she warned, quote: i would urge caution in dealing with the burisma group. it is widely believed that the owner was the beneficiary of the corrupt justice system here, end quote. now, during last year's sham impeachment proceedings, yovanovitch said he had little -- she had little knowledge of burisma, so there's a little conflict there. joining me now is tom fitton, the president of judicial watch. tom, good to see you. so it appears the ambassador was a lot more familiar with burisma than she said under oath, right?

>> that's exactly right. she had a former ambassadorial colleague of hers who was working for the mccain institute, of all places, run an idea about funding a training for prosecutors in ukraine, training funded by burisma. and the ambassador responded appropriately, that's probably not a gooded idea, and if her former -- good idea, and her former colleague writes back, i'm following your sage advice, we won't do that. compare and contrast that with her testimony that she didn't know much about burisma, and it further confirms -- because we already have other evidence of this -- that the obama state department knew full well about burisma and other information shows they knew full well about hunter biden's involvement in this. so remember, this e-mail traffic's going on while biden's involved in burisma directly. and, you know, and so joe -- excuse me, president trump gets

impeached for asking about biden corruption. the doj knew about it at the time in the sense that they were investigating biden, we now hear, at least hunter biden. they suppressed it through the election in addition to through the impeachment. and we get, you know, information given to us late in the game after the election by both the state department and now, i guess, the fbi and justice department that the biden corruption story is as real as we've been saying. david: so, tom, does the doj have any interest at all to find out whether a former ambassador was lying under oath about all this? >> they have zero interest in investigating any of that. there's all sorts of testimony that should have been investigated, the handling of the classified phone calls between the president and the ukrainian official, the leaking of that, the sharing of that with others um properly -- improperly should have been investigated. the justice department and the

fbi have been awol in virtually all the crimes in which president trump is a victim. david: well, meanwhile, we don't know exactly what they're investigating with regard to hunter biden's relationship with the chinese company, it was very closely related to chinese intelligence. that apparently was doing money laundering or may have been doing money laundering, that's why the company ultimately failed, because it was found out about that. what can you tell us, what have you figured out that the doj -- we know, by the way, that they've had hunter biden's computer, the one that was left behind at the pc company, for over a year. why has there been nothing about that? >> you know, they say they weren't investigating him or weren't doing overt acts before the election because there's some rule that actually doesn't exist that they're not supposed to do overt acts in a way that impacts the election, and that somehow covers the entire biden family -- david: and, of course, they did

exactly the opposite in 2016, right? >> well, exactly. they were leaking the investigation to the clinton campaign. look, i don't believe the fbi was ever doing a serious investigation. anything they were doing they were kind of forced into doing. and to the degree they were doing anything, it was because of the he rowic actions of -- heroic actions of rudy giuliani that forced their hand. i don't think the president can depend on the fbi and the doj to do anything these days, especially on these politically sensitive topics, and he should appoint a special prosecutor for joe biden. as far as i'm concerned given the evidence, i've talked with rudy giuliani about this in a separate interview. he's highlighted there's more than enough evidence to justify an indictment already against joe biden given the documentary and witness testimony that's already been out there. david: well, you mentioned the desire to have a special counsel. i mean, isn't that what you got in john durham who is about the slowest prosecutor in the west? >> well, you have someone who's

outside of the justice department do it, answer to the white house, not the justice department, which is compromised. david: who would you choose? >> one like rudy giuliani who's not afraid, who's not afraid. david: yeah. >> someone who -- david: you just, the problem is the last great prosecutor that i can remember, in fact, i mentioned him to john solomon just a moment ago, was bob morgenthau, the d.a. in new york for years, and he followed the track wherever it led. he didn't care whatever political party it happened to lead to. there just aren't that many people like that. the whole justice system has been so corrupted by what's happened at the doj over the past 12 years really that it's very difficult to find an independent prosecutor out there. >> yeah. the concern i have is that obama ruined the justice department. the fbi was ruined by mueller and comey, and we still haven't

recovered. and so they're not reliable entities in the meantime, and that's the rule of law crisis we face. david: yeah. >> nothing's been done about the obamagate corruption, the worst corruption scandal in american history, practically speaking, and biden was protected by these agencies while they were attacking trump. david: so what happens now? what happens if joe biden takes over in january? what happens to the justice department? >> i think they'll go through the motions and investigate his family and, you know, biden will be free and clear. david: okay. so he won't have to pull out a pardon for his son. >> yeah, i don't even think he'll are have to exercise it. david: all right. tom fitton, we're -- again, like i said to john solomon if, we're glad we have independent journalists and investigators out there to look into the truth because we're, apparently, we're not going to get it from doj. we thank you for coming on, tom. good to see you. and coming up next, red storm rising, how china has been

jackie deangelis -- fox business' jackie deangelis. >> reporter: secretary of state mike pompeo talked about china's threat to u.s. security and free speech in a way most people not expect, on college campuses. pompeo warned that u.s. colleges are basically bought by beijing in several different ways and that their funding crypts a situation where -- creates a situation where universities censor themselves to avoid upsetting the people's republic of china. according to a bloomberg report, since 2013 close to a billion dollars in gifts and contracts have come from beijing. roughly 115 colleges got the gifts, and hard voir dire took the lead. -- harvard or took the lis. usc, university of -- tanford can be stanford and nyu. there are also 400,000 students that come here to study from china, and while the students may not be compromised per se, they often get tuition funding

from home. what that does is create a relicense on this stream of revenue -- relicense on this stream of revenue by the universities, and the experts say that funding comes with strings and reeves us absolutely -- leaves us vulnerable. >> there have been direct threats about the withdrawal of funds if, for example, the dally lam -- dalai lama gives a speech or if the university works with taiwan in certain ways. so is this a dire, daily, widespread threat? no. but it's growing and it'sal. >> reporter: the trump administration took a tough stance on china. the incoming biden administration promised it would do the psalm. but the issue is tuition costs here in the u.s. are high. states don't provide enough funding to universities, and that's where the need for foreign revenue comes in. the hope is that the government can find a way to have some sort of facility for this, but at the current moment there isn't one. david?

david: jackie deangelis, thank you very much. well, breaking news also now from republican congressman jim sensenbrenner, he is calling on the house ethics committee to invest congressman eric swalwell and his relationship with suspected chinese spy christine fang fang. accept seven brenner says -- sensenbrenner says swalwell is now compromised and should not be on the committee. house speaker nancy pelosi doesn't seem very concerned about swalwell's involvement despite his role on the house intel committee. listen. >> i don't have any concern about mr. swalwell. there are those in the congress who believe, and i am among them, that we should be seeing what influences the chinese -- i've been fighting them, as you know, for over 30 years, but i don't know that we have to background check every intern that comes into the capitol. ca. david: speaker pelosi, however,

has proudly pushed the debunked trump-russia collusion narrative even after the president has been vindicated multiple times. >> with him, all roads lead to putin. i don't know what the russians have on the president politically, personally, financially or whatever it is. dave david joining us now is congressman devin nuñes, ranking member of the house intel committee. one just shakes his head at statements such as that from nancy pelosi. as we look deeper into what was happening in california with congressman swalwell, it appears that he was right smack in the middle of a invest of spies. we went back -- a nest of spies. we went back and found a photograph from 2013. it was at the chinese consulate in san francisco where there, apparently, there's a lot of spying going on. and in the middle is fang fang, so our left is none other than russell lowe, the longtime

senator dianne feinstein's staff ther who has been accused of relaying information to chinese intelligence and that swalwell was at this same meeting. again, this was in 2013. and look at the top there. it relates to the story the jackie was telling us about chinese infiltration of american colleges. it's the chinese student association. they're the ones that tweeted this picture out. so it all comes together, doesn't it, congressman? >> i think that's right. the old adage that whatever the left accuses you of doing, they're actually doing. so they ran around with talking about russia, moscow prostitutes, and meanwhile they knew the whole time that they had a china problem. and that's really the key here, david, i think people need to focus on where the investigation really needs to go, how big is this spy ring in the san francisco bay area and what influence do they have over what is, you know, arguably the leading progressive center of

the universe? seems like the chinese are very well fanged in -- david: ooh! >> -- to the san francisco area. david: nice little pun there. now, dan hoffman, he is a former bureau chief for the cia, retired now, he spoke earlier. as much as san francisco should be on our radar, it's happening all over the country at institutions whether they're college institutions or political institutions. i think we have that tape. can you play that? roll that tape from dan hoffman. >> it's extraordinarily diverse and ubiquitous. if you think about chinese intelligence officers, they're operating in washington, d.c. and at the consulates in san francisco and new york and chicago and los angeles. they use all sorts of collectors and some very creative ways of stealing our secrets. they are, you know, ruthless wily focused on conducting espionage in this country. david: again, dan hoffman was a

cia bureau chief. he knows whereof he speaks. it seems clear that swalwell has been compromised. does he deserve to be on the intel committee? >> look, that's ultimately up to pelosi and the democrats to decide whether or not he's going to be on next year or not. then if that's the case, we republicans will have to conduct an investigation. look, i think what dan hoffman is saying, i'll take it one step further, there are no surprise that spying's going on in washington and out of consulates, especially out of our adversaries. the question here is though, you know, why did this, for four years, trump get accused and any republican including the republicans on the house intelligence committee, you know, being called russian assets, but the media hasn't been held accountable? so i think this goes much deeper. it's not just about the pocket of the spy ring dealing with the democrat progressives in san francisco. it also is what power do they have over the media.

like, for example, another example that you didn't use, david, the nba. the nba, you know, they're all for doing good all over america, but when it comes to talking about the devastation that the chinese communist party does on individuals and the censorship and the mistreatment of their citizens, the nba says nothing about it. so the hypocrisy is quite -- david: well, and hollywood. hollywood allowing chinese censors to ed edit their material. i mean, it's just extraordinary. meanwhile, of course, we're close to possibility of swearing in as president of the united states a man whose entire family seems compromised by the chinese the more we learn about that. isn't that distressing to you? >> el, look -- well, look, that's the other issue. this, once begun, goes back to the media and the big tech companies, right? the hunter biden laptop was covered up by nearly all the media in this country. 95% of the media didn't talk about it. and then, you know, the links are not just that hunter biden

has ties to ukraine and russia, but also to china. and i think china is probably the biggest problem. and i was listening to what tom fitton said, and i mentioned this other day on fox business, i have zero confidence that the fbi and doj are going to do a damn thing about this. i'll be shocked if they do because -- and here's why. they knew about biden's problems, the biden family's problems for many, many years. for many, many years. they knew about the biden problems during the impeachment hoax of president trump. so confidence level is very, very small -- david: well, president trump is still the president, and he can appoint a special counsel to look into all this, and then, of course, it would be up to biden whether he wants to fire a special counsel who's looking into his son and possibly him which would look pretty awful, but do you think the president could do that? >> i do, and i called for that. i think no path forward. it's just because of what we know over the last five years. i don't have a republican colleague that i work with, nor

do i have any constituents that are conservatives or republicans that trust the doj or fbi. and that's a big problem. david: are you going to be joining your colleagues in signing an amicus brief on this case that may be going to the supreme court on the election? >> yeah, yeah. i think that was -- i think just this morning. we just found out about it yesterday. david: okay. and very quickly, there's been this rumor going around that you had covid because you tested positive for antibodies. what's the latest on that? >> no good deed goes unpunished. let me start with, if you have the covid antibodies,es you have the antibody blood test, we're in desperate need of the blood thin theres across the united states of america because this blood plasma can be used to treat very sick and ill patients that are in the hospital. david david. [inaudible] >> so i tested positive for the antibodies, and so i went today, gave blood, i'm going to put out a little video on it, actual gave blood plasma, and this is

what all americans should be doing. and then i went on a big local talk radio show here in my district to talk about it to encourage people to give blood, and lo and behold, it went viral all over the world, they jumped on it real quick that i tested positive, you know, for the virus, which was not true. david: yeah, you had the antibodies. so many people have been infected by this thing, didn't know about it because there were no symptoms at all, and now they have the aunt bodies. it's an extraordinary thing. we've got to leave it there. congressman, we'd love to have you back. thank you for being here. coming up next, virginia's governor really north am wants you to stay home for the holidays and forgo religious surveys. we're going to be asking pastor robert jeffress about that and much more when we continue. ♪ ♪ before nexium 24hr, anna could only imagine a comfortable night's sleep without frequent heartburn waking her up. now, that dream... . ...is her reality. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts,

is it the worship or the building? for me, god wherever you are. you don't have to sit in the church pew for god to hear your prayers, so why do we need churches at all, i guess he's saying. joining us now, pastor robert jeffress from the first baptist church of dallas. he is also a fox business contributer. it's hard to know what to say to somebody who says we don't really need churches. i think jesus was pretty clear in suggesting, you know, more than one person gathering the beginning of a church. it's kind of hard to gather more than one person when you're acing loan, right? [laughter] >> well, right. and, david, remember, this was the same ralph northam who suggested it's okay to kill a baby e in consultation with your doctor that survives an abortion. so i would hardly be looking to ralph northam for moral or spiritual guidance. but the hypocrisy here is just unbelievable. i don't remember ralph northam or any democrat saying, hey, you

don't need to be in a group to protest. just protest at home and that's okay. no, you need a group to do some things, and the truth worship is a team sport. david: right. >> and fortunately, we have a supreme court that has been transformed by donald trump that is now giving relief to churches that are being put under undue restrictions, and we're grateful for that. i do remind people, david, that the constitution gives churches a right to be open, but the bible says we don't have a right to be stupid -- david: well, and the supreme court -- >> we need to be cautious in what we do. david: yeah. the supreme court specifically pointed out the hi hypocrisy of people being allowed to shop at walmart without going to the church. i've been going to church regularly, and they separate -- you can't be one pew behind a person, you're separated by an empty pew. so it's, it's hard -- so he's arguing not only with the supreme court, not only with the

folks who like going to church, particularly as we approach the christmas holiday, but he's also arguing against science because science shows that when you have that kind of s&p ration that churches do -- separation that churches do, you don't spread covid. >> and most importantly, he's arguing against god's word that says do not forsake the assembling together of yourselves. look, this weekend we're having a huge christmas extravaganza, you know? big choir, orchestra, but we're going to fill it to 50% capacity, we're going to offer it online for hundreds of thousands of people to watch. you can do church, you can be open, but you can also be safe. david: right. meanwhile, we've got nancy pelosi saying that repeeling the hyde amendment -- repealing the hyde amendment is, quote, long overdue. for those who don't know, it's been in effect for 40 years. it forces the government not to force taxpayers out there who might not believe in abortion to fund abortion. this would turn that on its head. so even if you disagree firmly

with the idea of abortion, you'd still have to deliver a part of your taxes to it. >> right. and that's the democrat position, to overturn the hyde amendment, and if they get control of the senate through georgia, they'll be automobile to do that. -- able to do that. also joe biden wants to rescind the mexico city the policy that keeps tax dollars from being used for overseas abortions. david: right. >> you'll remember donald trump not only reinstated the mexico city policy, he expanded it. and so joe biden is intent, if he makes it into the white house, he is intelligent on undoing -- intent on undoing every good thing donald trump has done. fortunately, president trump has put in a backstop, a strong supreme court, 200 appellate judges who will help keep things in check. david: as long as that north carolina senate race turns out okay. let's end on a positive note, pastor. gallup poll shows that the only demographic group that has showed improving mental health
