senators david perdue and kelly loeffler who face democrat chargers and reverend rafael warnock in those runoffs. both sides leaving nothing to chance pouring money and other resources into the peach state let's go to griff jenkins live with more. griff. >> hi arthel good afternoon andless than about 30 minutes we're going see the president, first lady depart the white house and marine one, air force base down to georgia for post election rally and you see people here behind me filling in, it is not on that crowd because weave been hearing all day chants of stop this steal and expect the president to talk about what he thinks is a rigged election and as you mentioned, senators perdue and love the her will be in attendance one who will not be here republican governor brian kemp who has been a frequent recent target of the

president's including this tweet just a few hours ago. where the president tweets, i will easily and we cannily win georgia if governor brian kemp or the secretary of state permit a civil signature verification. he has not done and will show large scale discrepancies where are two republicans saying no if we win georgia everything else falls in place. governor kemp communication director says he cannot be here because of a personal tragedy. he tweeted this response saying as i told the president this morning, i publicly called for signature three times to restore confidence in our election process. and to ensure that only legal votes are counted in georgia, and as you mentioned, with control of the senate up in the air in stakes so very high, the rnc is flooded, georgia with dozens of teams of workers and the rnc chairwoman ron that mcdamage weighed in on what's at stake. take a listen. >> a message is we are fighting for the president and we want to

make sure that we feed that through but we need to keep our majority? in the senate and if you want a check on chuck schumer an democrats and what they will do to get rid of the filibuster to embrace green new deal destroy the country and who we love we need to sending republicans to senate to keep that majority. >> fake a look how close these runoff races are a dead even tie perdue separated by barely two tenths of a point love the her and warnock separated by half point look these races are shattering sending records more than 315 million stwengt between campaigns and outside groups that number certainly has risen. we have that from yesterday, today it is even more. we'll see exactly what the president does arthel in areas between sort of straddling fence between talking about this race and what's at stake, of course,

his frustrations with georgia officials and the overall election results. for which he continues to fight against -- arthel. eric. arthel: there's a big crowd there waiting for the president's arrival griff jenkins in georgia, thanks griff. eric. eric: well arthel, georgia has now counted all of the presidential contest votes twice. there was a hand count and machine count and both results officials say show a biden win. the two democratic senate challengers hoping to replicate that they held in drive-in rally in conners georgia where charles watson not live with more on efforts to turn this state's two senate seats blue. charles. reporter: look the democrats are not willing to let these senate runoff races slip away easily they have their kaingts out on the campaign trail today. trying to fire up orders hope pulling off another upset here in georgia. john and reverend rafael warnock the two democrat it is looking

to unseat senators david perdue and kelly loeffler trying to counter some of that trump energy with a drive-in rally in georgia. as they have throughout this campaign they continue to pay perdue and loeffler as senators more concerned about enriching themselvessings instead of helping the people of georgia. today was also about their new slogan of help, jobs and justice really driving home the fact that people here in georgia and across the country need a senate that will work with president elect bide opinion to fulfill needs of the american people in midst of the pandemic and last week democrats have a big name to drive home that message. >> it's not that we just need two seats in order for the in in democrats to control the agenda but these are kinds of gentlemen who are going to be able to -- create an atmosphere of --

of cooperation, of progress and most of all keeping the concerns of the american people and the people of georgia first. >> you know guys democrats are really pushing the message that this is not only about georgia. this is about america. and lifting this country out of what democrats believe is a mess that was created by president trump and republicans. eric. eric: all right charles, that up for debate waiting for rally to start in a few hours from now. thanks. president is scheduled to lead the white house about 20 minutes or so from now landing in georgia we're told, of course, about two hours from now. that rally we've been covering -- begins at 7 a.m. eastern time. trace gallagher will be here for the special coverage to bring you that live. so stick around here in the fox news channel for the president's rally tonight and tomorrow night there's a big debate between two

of the candidates kelly love lor debating in georgia will be shown right here on the fox news channel. martha will be anchoring special coverage of that debate starts 6:45 p.m. tomorrow night. and man oh man likely be some fireworks with that debate with all of the stakes so high. arthel. arthel: lots to watch as we await the president's speech in georgia, tonight the trump campaign is requesting a doover in peach state election results lawyers are contesting the outcome with a new lawsuit filed just yesterday. mark meredith live at the white house with more. mark. reporter: eager to hear how much the president will devote his speech tonight at the rally that griff was at focused on his own efforts to basically try to change outcome of the election. although this is as rally as you've been talking about really supposed to be focused on georgia too republican senate candidates we know that president trump did have a chance to speak to the governor of georgia by phone. earlier today the white house

not putting out readout of this call but the governor office saying they have spoken the president has been sharply critical of the georgia governor. ever since the election, even as there's been so much focus on what's been happening here at the white house and different states all over the country. one thing they'll be listening to is seeing how much the president will be focused on what he wants to see happen next with these state legislatures that will be handling electoral college as they get ready to sendingoff votes to washington later on this month on friday as you mention president legal team had a chance to file a new lawsuit in georgia essentially asking for a doover here that they want the results not to continue in georgia even though something as we've talked about there's been so many reports from the republican secretary of state as well as other georgia officials saying there was not widespread fraud. and while the president has been also talking about this secretary of state of georgia has been pushing back saying biden won the peach state without fraud. >> we did a 100% hand recount

retally during audit process that verified accuracy of machine and count and then done roadway count running ballots of paper ballots through again and we've gotten the same results virtually the same. >> the president and supporter that continue challenges in court but rfly come up empty i was in michigan earlier this week trying to get the state legislatures to look at other options out there but that doesn't seem to have made a difference president calling out republicans today on twitter he felt that are recognizing president-elect joe biden as just that as the president-elect. also meantime i want to mention what's happened up in new york where a federal judge has declared that the daca program should be reinstated daca providing protection for undocumented immigrants often calls from dreamers from deported argued that program was not legal and overreach of executive powers from the obama administration, well daca supporters thrilled with this latest news there's always the possibility it can get challenged in court again an

wait to see what happens come january 20th with biden administration how they'll handle daca going forward. eric arthel. arthel: mark meredith at the white house. thank you. ♪ >> you bet. eric: sadly coronavirus continues to spread. infections rising across our country, and prompted more state and local officials to impose tougher restrictions. country now topping 14.4 million cases. just over 279,000 americans. soling far succumb to the virus, yesterday we notched a new one-day recording with nearly 228,000 cases. the previous record that happened on thursday nearly 217,000 that doubling over last few weeks. and california five of the bay area counties temporarily shutting down most nonessential businesses that will start tomorrow. top of governor gavin newsom new

statewide stay at home order starting today that's whenever icu beds and hospitals are 85% full christina coleman live in los angeles with what looks like more clamp downs coming. christina. >> hi yeah that's right eric. the sweeping restrictions these lockdowns went into effect today. two major portions of the state just hit the threshold four more restrictions, this latest rowngdz of state wide shut downs are focused on hospitalizations. the new original state home order break breaks into five regions with wh one falls below 50% icu capacity shut down is triggered for this particular area. southern california has reached that threshold and so has san joaquin valley and officials in bay area decided not to they announce new restrictions starting tomorrow. so retail will be capped at 20% capacity. and playgrounds museums, camp grounds, zoos, theaters, bars, and amusement parks all will be closed.

covid roles will be hard for many parents especially when it comes to closing play grounds. i spoke with a mom this morning who says she's following the health guidelines but that it's been tough. >> it's been incredibly difficult it is been difficult explaining it to the kids. it has been difficult seeing how it impacts them. you know you want to be encouraging your child to go up to other kids to explore, to interact. and having to like hold them back feels so strange. and so abnormal -- >> here in southern california, los angeles imposed a city wide stay at home order last weekend l.a. county restricted nonessential activities and banned outdoor and indoor dining. a move that has restaurant owners confused and angry. this video went viral last night, the owner of a restaurant in sherman oak went to her business on friday morning only to find tents next to her closed outdoor dining area.

that she believes were set up to feed a movie crew. >> tell me that this is dangerous. but right next to me sz a slap in my face -- that's safe. this is safe? 50 feet away -- this is dangerous. >> now that dining area next to her business was closed, and her post went viral also govan gavin newsom sounding optimistic earlier today he tweeted that light is at the end of the tunnel and that a vaccine is coming. eric. eric: boy you know talk about hypocrisy and it is so sad christina. thanks so much. arthel. arthel: eric president-elect bide about meeting with his transition advisors today after calling on congress to pass a

new covid relief package now. the new congress will be sworn in next month with a democratic majority in the house shrinking to just a handful of seats. david spunt live in wilmington, delaware. david. reporter: good evening to you it is possible when the gavel in at the beginning of january and just about a month there will be two empty seats that's because we have several races that are incredibly close. it is also possible we could see a blue senate that is if the runoff in georgia turns to the democrats favor. now we're talking about the house, the house majority won't be as strong, though, it will be a democrat majority. but it won't be as strong as current congress because republicans picked up seats and closed gap with democrats. but two races as i said a month after election are incredibly close. democratic congressman anthony in new york is trailing claudia

kenny by 12 votes at last official count then several dozens ballots were found it is not clear if they were previously counted. stay tuned to that race miller meets from iowa -- she was certify as winner in local municipality there by six votes her challenger democrat reta heart signaling a legal challenge heart is appealing to house leadership in washington to get involved. house speaker, nancy pelosi could always refuse to seat miller meeks and begin an official review of the race because we're talking about just six votes. listen. >> this my understanding that reta heart an excellent candidate for congress will be asking the house to take this up. but that should further information about technicality of that that becomes house not a political vote but a house administration matter. house decides who it will seat.

reporter: pelosi says that new york is a different situation with anthony because there are more votes that need to be counted but ultimately arthel, this will affect president biden after he takes oath of office on january 20th because this is a congress that he's going to be working with depending on what type of bills economic bills -- any type of military bills that he wants to get through he's going to have to deal with it as for the president-elect he's been meeting with members of his transition team talking about cabinet position attorney general defense secretary also the secretary of health and human services which is an incredibly important position because that's going to be the position that ultimately will kind of head the effort to get out those vaccines to tens of millions of americans. arthel. arthel: yeah david spunt in wilmington, delaware. thanks, david. eric. eric: yeah arthel six votes 12 votes, i mean, such importance of voting. we know the president right now set to leave for the white house

for georgia. well any moment now, it will be his first campaign rally since the election. can help republicans win a state that certified for joe biden last month? and will this rally and his efforts be able to keep the senate and gop hands as you can see we're live in georgia, we'll bring you the president when he's there and arrives. and what he says -- stay with us. if your dry eye symptoms keep coming back,

inflammation in your eye might be to blame. looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what is that? xiidra, noooo! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is the only fda approved treatment specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. one drop in each eye, twice a day. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation. don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. after using xiidra, wait 15 minutes before reinserting contacts. got any room in your eye? talk to an eye doctor about twice-daily xiidra. i prefer you didn't! xiidra. not today, dry eye.

[what's this?] oh, are we kicking karly out? we live with at&t. it was a lapse in judgment. at&t, we called this house meeting because you advertise gig-speed internet, but we can't sign up for that here. yeah, but i'm just like warming up to those speeds. you've lived here two years. the personal attacks aren't helping, karly. don't you have like a hot pilates class to get to or something? [ muffled scream ] stop living with at&t. xfinity can deliver gig to the most homes.

>> for all we've done, for all we have yet to do, we need the peach state to defend the majority. because the road to the senate republican majority runs right through the state of georgia. eric: that's mike pence urging georgia i can to run on runoff election despite trump campaign legal challenges claiming election fraud there. trump will be speaking in georgia a few hours from now 7 p.m. rally being called a, quote, victory rally but for republican senators david perdue and kel lit loeffler both face january runoffs that will decide which party controls the senate

so there's a lot at stake. suzanne she's congressional for washington examiner joins us now. suzanne likely will be a valley warm welcome but what is the president for in the speech tonight? >> again depends who you ask. the republicans want the mission to be holding on to the senate and as you said, this race, this rare double runoff race in georgia will decide who gets the majority in 2021. will it be the in democrats or e republican and if it is democrats well then you have a full sweep of government you have biden in white house and congress run by democrats they'll be able to potentially passes part of their own sleeping or much of their own sweeping agenda with that scenario. but republicans want to hang on to their majority so two seats in georgia -- are absolutely critical. and so is what president trump says in -- he takes a stage and it's

completely about the election for the white house that he's contesting, that could undermine confidence in the election process of georgia and perhaps lower the turnout for republican voters. that would be absolutely catastrophic for the party. so what will the president say? you know, there are people lined up camped out ready to see the president today in georgia. he is the one drawing in all of these potential voters here, and not necessarily the two georgia candidates for the republican seats. is he going to talk only about the fact that he's felt election was stolen from him that georgia has so many problems that it should be overturned or is he going to focus on the two candidates who have to win these races in order to refer republicans to hold on to solid majority in the senate? you'll probably hear a little bit of both but where does he put his energy is it going to be

about his race that he feels is still undecided? or is it going to be about these two very critical senate seats that are up for grabs on january a 5th. eric: that question up in his mind and he called governor kemp to give him to move to overturn results of the election reportedly to try to call a special session of the legislature the governor it is reported said not in his power to do nap look the state has been certified now for mr. biden. they've will two kowngts one hand count one machine count up by 12,000 votes you know for mr. biden officials say there's no -- you know massive fraud that would change the election. there are about 250 allegations we're told that the georgia bureau of investigation are looking at. so if the president spends most of his speech of doing that takes tension away from two republican candidates who from his view he's got to get in there, you know, could that

squelch their message and how do campaigns deal with that? >>s that right he's the main draw here. everybody wants the president to focus his energy on the senate remaining in republican hands. and if you look at results that came out after november 3rd republicans are favored to hold on to seat but not by a lot. and there's a poll that shows democrats gaining or ahead in those two races. so it's really important it is really on the line here there's also three ways to vote. there's in person, early absentee voting and then there's mail-in voting. so there's three ways to -- for voters to register their vote. democrats have upper hand on mail-in voting they've established that already. so republicans i think have a lot to be concerned about. the parties really pushing this rally as you said a vrkt victory rally to hold on to sents elect rile will favor in a special

election because it is not same people who turn out on november third but smaller group more focused group of voter so it has historically favor republicans s so what the president says tonight that could really help republicans push this -- over the finish line for them for january fifth -- to get out there to vote but if he's going to talk nothing about a lack of confidence -- in how the election system works in georgia, and that could dampen enthusiasm enough to hurt turnout. these, you know, these special elections really are about turnout. eric: yeah. what's your bets? both going to win both going to lose or split the votes? what do you think will happen in this race in january? ening >> number favor republicans in both of those races. and it's uphill climb for democrats but main hill factor i think make this is a little bit different that you can't be assured it if you're a republican that you're going win a special election runoff but i

think well i'll be paying very close attention when president starts talking to hear whether he helps or hurts the cause. eric: all right we'll see and, of course, covering that live here in fox news channel 7 p.m. eastern good to see you susan of the washington examiner. thank you as always for your insight. , of course. arthel. arthel: thanks earth and suzanne small businesses are struggling to stay afloat with more lockdowns going into effect and government relief money about to run out. we'll tell you about one group in virginia that is giving mom and pop stores a helping hand. ♪ ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy.

secured this. no there's no restriction working with us and then going forward and securing others. arthel: and you started this service i believe next month are you getting lots of clients? >> yeah. actually we technically launched just with this past monday november 30*9 is when we technically opened our doors and we are already getting lots of calls, and working through client requests we're building out our team if we can't help you we have partner like for and activation capital have a other players in our ecosystem to get these small businesses to. arthel: i don't mean as a small business owner to come to, you know, tap into your services. because it is taken care of you're covered by -- grants and what else how are you covered your overhead? >> yes. yeah so the small business development center is supported by the 7 localities in the region. and in addition to atlantic union go virginia, and the

arthel: protest against police brutality turning violent in paris after they smash up windows and torch cars in the french capitol. let's go to kitty logan she's following all of this for us from london. what can you tell us kitty? reporter: hi, arthel so protest peacefully but police say it was infiltrated by hundreds of hard core demonstrator who is may have been behind some of the worst of the violence that we're seeing here. certainly several vehicles were set on fire a bank was looted, around 30 have been made so far we understand, and police say around 500 troublemakers who join that demonstration instigated chaotic scene some burning barricade smashing windows police officers in riot

gear fire tear gas in response of the violence spiral now this protest is in response to a drop security bill which gives more power to have surveillance. now this bill also prevents publication of images of police which is the government says is to stop online hate. but critics say it prevents the public filming misconduct by police and tensions, of course, have been heightened since footage of one beaten by police last month this unrest a real challenge for french president emmanuel macron as he tries to toughen up on law and order in the country. and earlier this week he backed down as con physician to protesters agreeing to review part of this controversial bill but the public backlashed continues. and so these protest continue we also saw violence since last week -- protest continued across france and if this bill goes ahead and becomes law we could see more at

this type of unrest. arthel. arthel: kitty logan live in london thanks kitty. >> compromise is within reach. we know where we agree. we can do this. let me say it again, we can do this. >> the bipartisan framework unveiled by the senators and bipartisan way with the support of house members in the house -- both sides of the aisle could be a basis for real and negotiations. >> well those are two sides as you heard them both say it after months of stall talks there's optimism finally in washington for a covid financial relief bill. what will be in it moderate pressing both sides house speaker nancy pelosi and senator mitch mcconnell to agree there's a deal to be struck but, you know, with current time and aid running out by the end of the year, there are still some

differences remaining so house may pass thing he is up so anita political white house correspondent for politico and associate editor of politico so anita they're getting close number what, 908 billion dollars on the table now. what do you think we can see what do we expect? >> well it's been months and we've been back and forth so i'll never say it's going to happen but it does sound they do sound really more optimistic than they've seen and one of the reasons, of course, is that the election is behind them. now they're sort of getting down to business. and remember a lot of people are if to lose some of the aid that they are getting near the end of the month i think there's a lot of pressure. so what can we see you know they are coalescing around this bill that you mentioned but remember, senator mcconnell has said he still doesn't agree with that amount of money and he's looking at about a $500 bill -- 500 billion dollar deal instead. so they still have to agree on this amounts of money and, of course, they still have to agree

on what's in that, and they have some philosophical differences on some of those things that are in there. >> so you're sitting at home you're out of a job you've been hit so hard by coronavirus you work at a restaurant or bar or business that's struggling. what kind of hope do you have what -- can we expect democrats wanted a payment of 1,200. they used to have 600 now democrats or republicans say maybe 300. as far as we know -- what can we expect do you think? >> yeah. , i mean, it does not sound like the stimulus checks that people americans got earlier in the year. that it is on the table i know democrats still want that. but in this compromise bill that came out earlier in the week that's not there. what that bill has is as you mentioned unemployment benefits it also has some money for local and state governments democrats think it should have more they're looking at some money for vaccine distribution which, of course, is so important at this point when one of the first

vaccines is about to come out. and they're looking at that really popular program to provide help to small businesses that, you know, a lot of businesses some larger ones but a lot of small businesses in that earlier this year so those are things they're looking at in thes want some things that republicans don't and vice versa but republicans really want that liability protection for companies for businesses democrats don't like that broad protection. democrats want more money for state and local governments to those are the two issues i think that are the biggest sticking point. >> that protection that situation is protection for companies from being sued if employees get coronavirus. senator bernie sanders said that's breaks the deal for him he's going to vote against it and get out of jail free card prl companies republicans want corporations to be presented. you know, can the in democrats d republicans get together on that

in a possible wail or horse trading opposed to trying to protect, you know, maybe corporate interest? >> yeah. i mean this is really if i had to peck one thing that they disagreed on from the beginning, it's this. i mean, you know, it's not that it is this one that they just aren't two different sides you're just mentioning bernie sanders who says he doesn't want it. you know we have mitch mcconnell saying it has to be in there so it's a philosophical disagreement as to other issues as to how much money to give up a particular program and that's really going to be tough now that bill that came out earlier this week as compromised did include some of the liability protections, and democrats some of the other democrats said as you saw bernie sanders and others are saying, no i'm not going -- not for that so that's one they're going to have to look at how can they get around that major impasse. >> quickly i think we'll get something by the end of the year? >> you know it sure does look like it when you have president trump and president-elect joe

biden saying let's get something done you have the house and you have the senate saying it. it does sowpgd like it. i mean, they all sound more optimistic than they were before. and the fact that democrats said you know we want two or three trillion before and now they've agreed to one trillion or less. really shows that they're wanting to, you know, these are some confessions for them they really want to get it done and i think that was just a surprise this week when they said they would go with less amount of none so it does sound like everybody wants to do something, of course, always about the details can they agree on what's in the bill? eric: and ten million jobs have not yet come back. anita, political white house correspondent politico, anita, great to see you thank you. >> thanks. arthel: a winter storm slamming new england with millions under threat from the first nor'easter of the season. how bad will it get? and when will it clear? forecast is next. - [announcer] your typical vacuum has bristles

economic relief package and depending what happens in georgia with this runoff, the power, the control of the senate come january for the next congress could make a difference, it could be easy or difficult. that's if it happens under the president elects watch. if it's under president trump's watch, that is a completely different story. president-elect joe biden says the situation is dire. he wants to see an economic relief package, a bipartisan relief package come as soon as possible. our cameras were there this evening as the president-elect walked into church his family church. he met with some family members this evening and spent the afternoon with his advisers filling out cabinet positions. attorney general, defense secretary and the next leader of health and human services, still waiting for those names to come out to the public. the hhs position is critical as is the person who will oversee the large-scale distribution of the vaccines to millions of americans in the coming months. one week from today, healthcare

the incoming biden administration at the pentagon. multiple reports that there were stonewalling going on from trump officials at the pentagon although officials are saying that is not the truth and they claim they are cooperating with the biden transition team. eric: i guess they are trying to dispel some of those reports of noncooperation. all right, david covering the biden transmission. thanks. arthel: president trump heading to georgia this evening to speak at a rally. they are facing challenges from democrat john and reverend ralph warnock in a january 5 runoff election one month from today. the senate runoff will be whether the electorate has truly shifted the after joe biden narrowly one the deep state and the presidential election. joining me now, james, national

political correspondent for the washington post and author of the daily 202. republicans have spent or the three existing million dollars on this runoff election is this money well spent come one month from today? reporter: >> the stakes could be higher for reporters or democrats. if democrats one both of these seats, kamala harris will break the tie, a majority that will allow president biden to push through his agenda. the pelicans are eager to find a way to win. they are favored to win both. ultimately, biden one georgia by about 12,000 votes. the first democrat to do so since 1992 when bill clinton was on the ballot ultimately, it is still a more red states and bl blue. it's even more red than purple. part of it is who's going to turn out.

usually in these runoff elections, turnout is far lower than the general election. this year, we saw the highest turnout in a century in the presidential election because people on both sides were really motivated. the question is, who's going to be more motivated january 5 that's why everyone is watching the rally tonight with president trump in both parties, to what degree he encourages people to turn out and participate with these two senators will be on the ballot when he is not. arthel: we are looking at a live shot out there in georgia, can the president star power overshadow the candidate cells? >> it's more about whether he spends his time during the rally going off, there is some history there. originally a former senator from georgia, he had health problems so he had to resign and the governor to appoint his

successor. trump pushed him pretty hard to appoint doug collins. he's a big l.a. of the president on the house side, especially during impeachment inquiry the governor appointed kelly loeffler to the seat because he wanted republicans to be able to appeal to suburban women in the event of suburbs who they were struggling with, someone with kelly's background. so there's bad blood between trump and kemp ever since kemp made that appointment, the 28 team midterms so one of the things happening right now is the president down there, age and were hogan's are trying really hard to keep the president focused on making the case for loeffler, who the president elected that candidates doesn't feel like it's a great senator so his aides are trying to keep the president saying let's focus on why people should go forward, don't focus on frustrations with the county and certification

process and the government because ultimately, it could depress your own base returning out and if replicants will win in georgia, they will need hurt turnout among people who support the president and voted for him last month. arthel: also, the candidate himself appealing to the undecided or independent voters. >> is really going to be a base election. there aren't that many undecided voters. it's getting their people out. there is some risk in terms of undecided voters the president will alienate them with the way he's gone about this, attacking the elections officials, that could turn off some voters in the middle or maybe because some people to stay home. mostly, this is about, or democrats able to get high african-american turnout in atlanta and savannah? the way they were able to last month that's why president obama

held a virtual campaign yesterday for the democrats. on the republican side, are they able to drive the same level of turnout they got a month ago? arthel: i've seen reports, read reports where the asian vote there in georgia is very, could be helpful to the democrat side if they turn out. a month from today, so we will be watching and see what happens. thank you for joining us. eric. eric: you can see them there, let's take a look. knowing the president is on his way to the rally. the sun may be setting but the president looks to drive for publicans to the polls. democrats millions of dollars into advertising. the control of the senate at stake, republicans have another election defeat. jody heist is here next to tell us. ♪

there. this is the outcome of the race will determine the balance of power in the senate that election is one month from today. jody heist brings us now. good to see you. what is job one for the president in about 90 minutes? your go to the podium, i guarantee you, they will championing for four more years. after they stopped changing for more years, what is the message he has to deliver tonight to help kelly loeffler david perdue? >> i spent a good bit of time with the president this past week and he is fired up, excited about being in georgia and he's here to help reelect senators perdue and leffler he's going to keep the primary focus because he recognizes how incredible that is not only for our state but obviously our nation.

there is still a lot of question about the election here in georgia so i don't have any doubt will have a hit on that but his primary focus, i feel confident will be the reelecti reelection. eric: you know what is at stake, it's very rare in american history to have a double senate and a runoff. this is unbelievable. it's not only two senate seats but it really is but also sorry, the tipping of the senate. >> you are spot on. that is what is at stake and as a result, georgia has become the epicenter of political activity for our nation right now. it is not an issue between replicants simply and democrats, it's a battle for the direction of our entire nation as it relates to radical socialism and marxism versus consumer values

and principles upon which our nation was founded and freedom. limited government and maximum freedom for individuals and that is really what is at stake. a massive let's turn national democratic party and that is what is at stake with this so it is critical and frankly, the people of georgia are keenly aware of that. enormously high turnout and i believe at the end of the day, both of the existing current incumbent senators will be reelected. eric: speaking of them, david perdue on our screen, he is now addressing the rally in advance of the president arriving. congers and, as you know, some supporters do support the president, he's got to sit this one out. sidney powell for example. lynwood, steve maddie -- steve banning. as a protest, what you say to that? you think this affected and

disappointed trump supporters in your state, should sit this out? >> absolutely not. nothing could be more foolish. strongly opposed that insane position at the end of the day, will know the one with the most votes will win and you can't get the most votes if you don't get out there and vote. i think republicans are keenly aware of what is it stake in the selection. they're not going to listen to this nonsense, they will get out and vote. no question the other side is going to do the same so this will be an extremely high turnout. of course, is not just something gaining attention here in the state of georgia but taking home national focus so there is no question that the turnout is going to be extremely high. eric: finally, the president is

someone to speak off the top of his head and this would likely be an emotional moment for him. he kind of teared up at the end of the campaign and another rally when they started chanting out we love you and he kind of did get a bit emotional there. you expect him to reflect? do you expect him to have a fighting spirit? would you expect to hear from him besides this race in georgia? any reflections on his tenure and what he hopes for the country? >> i don't know if you've been to any of the rallies, any of the rallies you go to with president trump, they are extremely emotional because they are so inspiring and patriotic, so about america. i can tell you two things. number one, the president is going to be overwhelmingly received with love and respect and admiration and appreciation here in georgia. the state loves him, they are grateful for him and appreciate

him as a fighter. he's stood for georgia and america. the values in our country. he's going to be warmly received. at the same time, on the flipside, he is a fighter, he'll come out with everything he's got to do whatever is necessary to get these two senators reelected, no question there will be some for him in georgia. the great expanses he's had here, the support he has here. he's going to knock it out of the park and i believe at the end of the rally, people will be inspired like never before to make sure we reelect senators perdue and loeffler. eric: that will begin 7:00 p.m. eastern here so folks can see it live here. jody hice, republican of the tenth district and georgia. thank you for joining us. arthel: with the first doses of

testing of the vaccine as presented in the phase i, phase ii and efficacy trial which recently read out with very strong signals of efficacy are all incredibly encouraging and we have an effective vaccine. as you said, things being done this quickly means we do not have long-term data. we don't know if the immunity production last three months, six months, five years or ten years. a vaccine like measles, polio, smallpox last for decades. other vaccines like influenza, we received a shot every year. i think it's these kinds of data are talking about help inform us that at three months, the immunity, we will have to continue to follow this three months, six months, a year from now to ensure we understand the persistence of immunity and therefore what is likely for

protection. arthel: the discoveries and develops far are extraordinary for sure. we are talking about moderna and pfizer to deliver vaccines. in the end, how many vaccines you think there will be? how would i know which one i should take? >> thank you for clarifying that. both kaiser and moderna use and rna platforms, novel delivery system to deliver the vaccine. they both appear to have similar efficacy and safety profiles without significant safety concerns being identified in either trial. the trials are 30 -- 40000 volunteers each so a reasonable amount of volunteers and safety data. as best we can tell, the efficacy similar between the two products, the immune response we are talking about looks similar

and safety looks similar so what's most important is how quickly can we get vaccinated given his 300 million of us needs to be vaccinated and some of us or some in our community are prioritized due to medical conditions predisposed to illness or high likely to exposure such as frontline workers at the key question is, how quickly can distribution be and what does access look like in your community? arthel: i understand 70 -- 80% of the population of our country have to get vaccinated, actually vaccinated to develop herd immunity by way of vaccination. what if a large chunk of americans refuse to get the vaccine? than what? >> that is an important part, vaccine hesitancy. that is one of the things we as a community have to deal with.

in part, it has to do with trust and transparency so we trust the data that works and understand the safety. we need to educate our community as to the value of being fascinated and not getting coronavirus infection. if we look across the country today, there are 150 -- 200,000 new infections with a two to 3000 deaths a day, icus in hospitals are overflowing in exhaustion so i argue strongly we all need to be vaccinated quickly to stop this onslaught from continuing. the way to do that, trust and transparency. arthel: thank you so much. we have to leave it there. we'll see you again and we'll be right back.
