first we take georgia and take america. >> his mistake was not wearing a vest. >> dana: bill hemmer will take over for me. what do you think about this vest? >> bill: it's wearing on me. >> dana: [laughing]. >> bill: 4th grade. brian, you look great. breaking news. this is developing from baghdad and the pentagon. in the last hour, we were informed that president trump ordered a draw down of troops in iraq and afghanistan by mid january to the tune of 2500 total in both theaters. we get reports a moment ago about rockets fired into the green zone in baghdad near the u.s. embassy. there is just developing. acting defensive secretary

christopher miller delivered to the news to the pentagon. 3 o'clock east coast time. more to get to. i am bill hemmer. 2 weeks out from election the debate over the outcome showing no signs of conclusion. >> [loud music playing]. >> bill: in a courtroom in philadelphia president trump is pressing his legal challenge there. election officials in georgia found 2600 additional ballots. changed the margin between president trump and joe biden by 800 votes so biden still leads by 13,000. we expect the georgia secretary of state to give an update on the recount the top of the next hour. in georgia the senate run off race. >> [loud music playing]. >> bill: first john roberts with a busy day on the north lawn

there. good afternoon. >> good afternoon. the truisms is making -- the trump campaign said georgia is the tip of the iceberg. somebody in floyd county that is very favorable to president trump forgot to upload the memory card into the system. there were 2600 votes that didn't get counted. floyd county is leaning to president trump. he gained 800 votes on joe biden. had this been florida in 2000, that could have turned the election. but in georgia, joe biden led by 14,000 votes. this takes it down to 13,2 13,200head. trey gowdy talked about the importance of the recount in the peach state. >> we should have zero margin

for error in something as important as our presidential election. 2600 votes would not be sufficient to change the outcome in georgia. my interest is not just in changing outcomes. it's making sure the next election we can all have confidence in it. >> another big difference between now and what happened in 2000 is we were talking about one state in 2000. we are talking about several states including pennsylvania. you see rudy giuliani heading into the federal courthouse. arguing on a motion to dismiss a trump campaign lawsuit alleging unequal treatment under the law and looking to exclude 700,000 votes that the trump campaign says were not scrutinized. rudy giuliani is saying there are 1.5 million illegal ballots

in pennsylvania. if the judge grants the state's motion to dismiss that will be a blow to the trump campaign. we will watch that one. and one other thing. nevada, there is going to be a special election for a county commissioner's race. district c of clark county, they discovered a number of discrepancy in ballots. 150,000 votes cast in total. the trump campaign said if there was a problem with the county commissioner race, maybe we should revote for president as well. that's a hard case to make. >> bill: he will see it through to the end. >> do you want to know where the end is? december 14th one way or the other. >> bill: john roberts, thanks. the run off in georgia. both parties spending big money

on the 2 big races in the senate. matt flynn live on atlanta today. >> these 2 senate races in georgia are more important than any other. if democrats were to win both senate races in georgia, they would gain partisan control of the united states senate. both republican senators here are defending their jobs tlpt -- there is a lot of money poring into this state. warnok is locked with kelly loeffler to fill the seat. warnock and loeffler have been going back and forth in television ads. >> he wants to make your neighborhood less safe. don't let him fool you with pizza and puppies. warnock is too extreme for

georgia. >> loeffler sits down for interviews with white supremacy. >> and david perdue was challenged by john ossoff to participate in depates. perdue did just one. there is concern about people promising to move to georgia to cap the vote. the georgia sect secretary of state warns that is punishable by law. >> bill: good afternoon. what happened with this memory card? >> well, the auditing work to get to 5 million ballots.

yesterday our team received word that a limited case of a memory card was not placed into the general count. that has been taken care of it. i talked to the secretary of state's office earlier today and make sure that any issues that have arisen and i was reassured that's not the case. >> bill: the memory card failed to upload into the machine? >> yes, same on this end. a team of investigators is making sure there was no foul play. >> bill: sure. >> and make sure we don't do that in other races. >> bill: is that technical error or human error? >> the investigators have to respond to that. that's before my perview. >> you have 158 other counties in your state. any other problems there? >> i have not heard.

investigators are running down every lead. i continue to use our officers as a flat form to encourage focus, reach out to the secretary of state's office and give them as much information as you can.reach out to the secret state's office and give them as much information as you can. >> bill: do you verify signatures during the recount? >> they are following the letter of the law. i believe there has been some half truths and misinformation out there. the verification process is done on the front end. it's a thorough process. i said this a number of times on interviews in the past week: our job is to follow the letter of the law. we are trying to make sure we follow the letter of the law. as we look forward to changes in

the legislature or the law, there are opportunities to do that. we will follow the letter of the law. >> bill: are a republican i should point out. >> yes, sir. >> bill: you have 2 big senate races. could be this a distraction? >> i hope not. i am working hard. a number of republicans are working hard to support loeffler and perdue. georgia is a red state. we have 8 statewide constitutional officers that are republicans. if things don't change, we want to have the firewall in the senate to make sure bad ideas hit a brick wall and higher taxes on small business owners and any cut in resources for law enforcement doesn't have a chance. we want to have the republican majority in the senate. i am working hard to make sure

they get back in there. >> bill: you will have this done by midnight tomorrow night, is that still on track? to be certified by the end the week? >> yes, i talked to the secretary of state's office. they are in communication with all election officials. they assured us the count will be done by midnight tomorrow and will go on to the state certification process by friday. bill, it's important to note, this is about counting every single legal vote. everybody has that right. every voter and every candidate. we are trying to earn the confidence of everybody in georgia. >> bill: the secretary of state will brief at 4 o'clock eastern time. do you know what he is preparing to say? >> i have not talked to him in the last few hours. i talked to his staff about the specific questions today. it's important for us to remember. it's hard to watch folks chase

facebook posts and disrupt the rule of law. we have a process here in georgia. we are working hard to follow it. we want to make georgia and america proud that we know how to run an election. >> bill: jeff duncan, thank you, sir, for joining me from atlanta. >> twitter being a publisher when it censored the "new york post"? >> no, we have clear policies. >> your policies are applyed in a partisan manner. you didn't block the distribution of the "new york times" story that alleged talk about president trump's tax return. >> bill: this went on for hours in a hearing on censorship. highlights in a moment. joe biden took questions at a news conference. critics say the questions were not that stuff for the

senate could end in a split 50-50. republicans up for 2 seats in georgia in early january. that happened back in the year 2000 and vice-president dick cheney was the deciding vote. they got a lot done. like 2000 voters are split over the white house. americans voted in record numbers in 2020. 79 million for joe biden and 73 million for donald trump. with he two form er senators. trent lott and tom daschle. you figured it out 20 years ago. i am thinking we might be far past that point. senator lott, a divided nation we stand. why not just accept it and work

around that? >> well, first of all it's always a pleasure to be on with my good friend tom daschle. we have been through a lot of things together and worked through tough times. on the election there is a process, legal actions and investigation. at some point that will end. it looks like joe biden will be the president-elect. then the challenge will be how do you deal with congress? numbers are closer in the house. the senate it comes down to georgia. in the republicans win both seats it will be 52-48 majority for the republicans and mitch mcconnell will be the majority leader. if we lose it will be 50-50. that's a challenge. tom daschle and i found a way to work through it. we had a good chemistry. i trusted him and respected him. he was a leader of the other party. we had to make it work. we sat down and came up with an

even-even split in terms of numbers of senators on committees and how the money would be used. there was resistance. but we were able to get the tax cuts bill done and passed a defense bill and no child left behind education build. a lot of credit goes to tom daschle and the fact we worked together to make the best of a tough situation. >> bill: that's a good record. senator tom daschle, what do you think about that? stood divided 20 years ago and again today? >> that's right, bill. i have to give trent a lot of credit. he was the majority leader going into this. we had to work through a lot of challenges. i take your point about being divided. we were very divided back then. we had an impeachment back then and a very, very close election. divided by the supreme court. and resolved by the supreme court. went into a 50-50 senate with

all kinds of issues about how you governor. in spite of that division, you have to recognize it and be there are many challenges and built a chemistry among those who are expected to lead both in congress and in the white house. we need leadership. that it depends on chemistry and the kind of relationship these leaders need to build in spite of the divisions. >> bill: if legal challenges fail, senator lott, donald trump said i will drain the swamp. poked his finger in the eye of every institution we and 72 million voted for him. they liked what they saw. if his legal efforts fail, what do you think the legacy will be in the past 4 years, senator? >> well, a lot of people disagreed with how he said it

and people don't like his tweets but he did a lot of good things. the economy was very strong before the pandemic game along. we started to deal with immigration to make sure it was legal and we didn't have a flood of illegal immigrants coming in here. trade was an area where something needed to be done. i pleaded with reagan in 1987 to do something about the unfair trade practices of china. it continued. >> bill: he is the only one who took up the fight. >> yeah, that's right. regulations, talking about draining the swamp. there were a lot of government regulations retarding government development. the pandemic has really hurt him because whether he did all he could do or not you could debate but it's still hanging over us.

that was an issue. >> bill: senator tom daschle, trade deals with mexico and canada and the middle east deal too. what will be the legacy of this? >> that's a great question. i think only historians can give us the answer. people voted for disruption. they wanted a change in the status quo. i think it's still a reflection of your earlier question. americans are deeply divided today and that was reflected in the vote but 116 million voted which is remarkable. it's a testam to the strength of the democrat and republic and the commitment people still have to our democracy today. >> bill: thank you, gentlemen. you look great. thanks for your time. we shall speak again. >> i submit this is unacceptable and predictable.

it's exactly what these tech companies have done to the american people and congress for years. it's time we took action against them. >> bill: a big hearing with big tech wrapped up a moment ago. we will talk about that and the election coming up. did you hear the question 24 hours ago at this time for joe biden? is this the future in the white house? >> what is your message to people who are considering getting together with their families and others for thanksgiving? would you urge people to reconsider their plans? when we started carvana, they told us

america's longest war in afghanistan but ran out of time. he fired mark esper who pushed back on troop withdrawals even sending a memo with recommendations explaining the dangers of withdrawing below the current moments. moments ago after taking over as active defense secretary, christopher miller announced the u.s. military will continue to draw down forces in afghanistan and iraq by january 15th, days before joe biden takes over. >> i am announcing we will implement president trump's orders by january 15th, 2021. our forces, their size in afghanistan will be 2,500 troops. >> u.s. forces will be cut by half in afghanistan and by 500

troops in iraq leaving 2500 u.s. troops there as well. no troops are being withdrawn from syria. miller read a short statement and didn't take any questions. >> you are not taking any questions? >> earlier on a call a senior defense official was asked whether the decision was motivated by a campaign promise and could not tell reporters what conditions changed in afghanistan to necessitate this decision and could not provide evidence that the taliban broke with al-qaeda. >> bill: thank you. >> telling us what is reliable based on cable news commentary or tweets from politicians or average citizens. nobody in a free society ever had that responsibility before. >> bill: senator lindsey graham with the head of twitter and

facebook defending safeguards against disinformation during the election. republican senators accused them of anti-conservative bias. jillian has been watching that today. what did he learn? >> the big argument from republicans is the social media platforms are infected with anti-conservative bias. they said it's broad and deep across all platforms and we heard about warning labels slapped on conservative posts including from president trump himself. senator cornyn said in twitter's ban on the "new york post" reporting about hunter biden's foreign policy dealings cecensorship highlighted a stor that twitter was trying to suppress. >> you realize that by taking down that story, you probably gave it more prominence and more visibility than it would have

gotten had you left it alone? >> we realize that. we recognize it as a mistake we made. >> democrats said republicans are getting away with murder on social media. >> how many times has steve bannon called for the murder of a governor official. will you commit to taking that down? >> senator, that's not what our policy suggests we should do. >> senator feinstein led the charge that president trump's posts are an attempt to interfere in the election. >> voter fraud garnered more than 300,000 interactions on your platform in the hours after mr. trump falsely declared victory. here's the question: do you believe facebook did enough to prevent trump's

efforts to delegitimize the election results? >> that's one question there. now the other big question facing all of these lawmakers is what they will do? . will they rein in the big tech companies or call hearing after hearing to threaten things that never come to pass. >> bill: thank you, jillian turner. this from yesterday. >> you spoke some of the dangers of the president's stone walling of this transition. it doesn't appear that the president will admit defeat. what is your message to republicans who are backing up the president's refusal to concede? you need to work with them going forward. >> i want your thoughts on the president's tweet where he first seemed to acknowledge that you won and then he said i won't

concede and he said i won. >> bill: not a journalistic balance. i want to bring in alex. i have a lot to cover in 4 minutes. john mccain said politics ain't beanbags but those were slow pitches yesterday. is that what we are going to get? >> well, look, i don't know that much about what the washington press corps will ask joe biden. there would be questions i would ask: are you going to mandate that everybody is required to take the covid vaccine? that's a legitimate question a front door or back door, it will be hard for you to work or travel or send your kids to schools if they are not vaccinated. i not anti-vaccines, but this is reaching the market quicker than

any vaccine in human history. it might be appropriate for my mother to take it, but i might want to wait for my kids to take it. will that be a problem for me? there has never been a vaccine that adults have been required to take. >> bill: he was asked whether he would take the vaccine and he said he would take the vaccine. >> that's fine. he is 78 years old. it's wise for him to take. the top line data is good. with covid, the media hasn't asked hard questions at all for the last few months. another series of questions: is the united states going to push china to disclose more about the origins of the virus and allow an independent international investigation? it doesn't have to be one the u.s. leads.

joe biden doesn't get asked these questions. he doesn't get asked hard questions. you are right about that. >> bill: trudeau did a zoom chat in september. this just popped up. i will play it and get your reaction. >> the pandemic provided an opportunity for a reset. this is our chance to accelerate our pre-pandemic efforts and address poverty, inequality and climate change. >> bill: that's how leaders look at this. that was september 25th? >> sure, this is not -- the covid-19 pandemic is a medical problem. we are handling it medically. we are developing vaccines. our hospitals are handling this. some parts of the united states they are understrain but not collapsing. if we want to remake society

like justin trudeau that's a message they should have sent to the voters. they should not do it under the guise of a global health emergency which more and more looks manageable. i think the efforts to frighten people are disgusting and they should stop. >> bill: the line that got attention the pandemic provided an opportunity for a reset. california lawmakers are off in hawaii after telling their own people to hunker down. what do you make of that? >> it's rules are for thee and not me. we have seen this with gavin newsom and lightfoot. this epidemic democrats go get their hair done and do whatever they do. expecting human being not to meet with each other is not

before turkeyy day. three sheriffs in new york said they would not enforce the governor's order. thanks for joining us. you are a former judge and d.a. how coming you won't enforce this order? >> i think the order is unconstitutional. what put me in a position to issue a public statement about it. i came out of a convenient store last week and a veteran in his early 70s with a baseball cap on. he said sheriff, can i ask you a question. my wife and i are arguing about going to my son's for thanksgiving. she heard on tv the governor said you could only have 10 people at a gathering. so what is the problem? there will be 14 of us including a new baby we have not seen in 8 months. she is afraid your deputies and state police will come there and

my son will get ticketed and fined and maybe lose his job. i was stunned. i said we are not going to do that. why do you think that? well, the governor said you can only have 10 people. sir, i won't be looking in your window. i only have 3 deputies for 500 square miles and 52,000 people. it's scaring the heck out of people. we have double the number of mental health cases from last year. i felt so bad for the man that him and his family would think that local law enforcement who was there to serve and protect them would enter their home. >> bill: you won't count head inside living rooms or cars in drives? i get it. fulton county. give the governor the benefit of the doubt.

covid is a serious deal. maybe he is trying to discourage people from getting together. that will help limit the spread. what do you think? >> i believe the governor believes that his executive orders are meant to save people and reduce the numbers. the last 2 segmentes led into this. governor newsom told everybody to stay home and he goes to a birthday party on the weekend. the only reason he apologized is he got caught. people are sick and tired of the hypocrisy of the elected officials. one thing about governor cuomo, he is a very hard charger. he is serious about his position. when his bother got covid. he felt the same anxiety and concerns about what would happen to his brother? would it be a lifetime thing or

go on a ventilator? he knows how stressful it is to have family with covid. the worst thing is isolation of people not being able to engage with other people. there is a big difference between setting a time limit and number of people at bars and restaurants and social distancing and getting together with your own family. constitutionally there are problems with an executive order. i can't go arrest somebody. i believe his intent is to slow things but i think it does more damage. i live in a county of 55,000 people. i believe people in my county are smart enough to make their own decisions. >> bill: good common sense. you made excellent points and i appreciate you coming on.
