fixed is by in the future reinforcing the laws. >> despite the title of today's hearing, there were no widespread election alike he irregularities that affected the final outcome, these claims are false. >> i think continued assault on democracy and the outcome of this election only serves to undermine confidence in the process. >> i'm not too keen on lectures about how missourians and others who voted for president trump now have some concerns about fraud, integrity and compliance with the law should be compliant and they are not patriotic if they raise these questions. speed to things getting personal between committee chair ron johnson and democrat gary peters on the issue of russian disinformation, take a look. >> i just have to talk about russian disinformation because people peddling and are not on my side of the aisle. senior democrat leaders,

including ranking member peters accused senator grassley and myself of accepting and disseminating russian disinformation. i had nothing to do with this report. >> you lied repeatedly in the press. >that was an outright lie and i told you it was alive but you continue to do it. >> mr. chairman, this is not about airing your grievances, i don't know what rabbit hole you are running down. >> jesse: greg, that's the kind of senate hearing that we like. >> greg: yes, and anyone who dismisses the topic or this hearing in general were likely drooling over the impeachment hearings and all those other hearings that were happening that robbed us of the essential mental space that was necessary to address things like covid. that's why you can't handle the hypocrisy, the famed philosopher peter marshall of the great hollywood squares once said, turnabout is fair play so if you

were stupid enough not to see that this four year lie wouldn't come back and on your front porch you are going to be in for a hell of a year. it may only be a year because we are nicer people but this concern isn't generating from d.c., the polls show it, millions of americans all over think this election stinks more than a locker room hamper. this isn't coming from adam schiff, it's coming from a joe six-pack so if you don't address that you are essentially giving the finger to half the country and if you do that it's going to get worse the next time this happens. we saw a lot of good testimony, trump's lawyer, the stuff he talked about in nevada, if that stuff is true, this is been all

over the producers. if that is true, i will wait to see that verified but it's been amazing stuff they were reporting on. >> jesse: isn't it a legitimate thing to want to make sure that we have election integrity, that people have confidence in the electoral process and that half the country doesn't feel cheated or stolen? because it seems like the democrats are going out of their way to make it so that that fear and loathing doesn't change. >> juan: i think exactly the opposite. first of all, i agree with you, i think we have every reason to have confidence in our election system, the cyber security guy for the trump administration testified at senator johnson's hearing today and again said, our election was without major fraud, no problem, all the like. this was a legitimate election. >> jesse: what's the difference between fraud and

major fraud? >> juan: let me just finish, it was nothing that would impact the outcome or the results of the election, what you get instead now though is president trump continues, continues to attack the governor of georgia. he's attacking the secretary of state of georgia, he's attacking anybody and everybody. and he's even now attacking mitch mcconnell, the senate majority leader because senate majority leader mcconnell has said that joe biden is president of the united states and told people to stop it and said nobody in the u.s. senate who is a republican should join in for this frivolous activity and you get some republican politicians around the country calling for martial law, successio secessioe trying to undermine our democracy and then you say yeah, most republicans, three quarters of republicans say oh, yeah, there was some fraud in the election. the fraud that senator johnson attempted to spotlight today

after the feeling among republicans, whether it was a trump judge, and obama judge, nobody has bought into this including the supreme court of the united states. the fraud is being perpetrated by people who want to say that joe biden wasn't legitimately and honestly elected president of the united states. >> jesse: i don't know, when someone says that poll watchers can't watch ballots being counted it makes me suspicious. dana, where do you see going from here? are we ever going to get a full audit of what happened on november 3rd? >> dana: i think so because look, if you are a democrat that believes in russian collusion for four years and you wanted to investigate that all the way up through impeachment of the president, if you think everything is on the up and up an investigation should not concern you. one of the things democrats love to do is to point to the investigation and the commission of president trump put together

after 2016 regarding the illegal alien voting in california and other places, that was a commission that found no fraud and democrats point to that all the time, if i were a democrat and i believed everything was on the up and up i'd want to have that in my back pocket again. i do think there's a couple of things, for example, several of these republican state legislatures made decisions this year that mail-in ballots, absentee ballots could not be counted until after all the other ballots were counted on election day. that created a perception of a lot of frustration, anger, and republican legislatures in the to really think about that going forward. the third thing i would say is let's look at a place like georgia where i pointed out that nearly 25,000 republicans voted in the primary in 2020, did not show up at the polls either through mail-in ballots on election day, nearly 25,000

voters for president trump presumably didn't show up so where do we go from here? republicans try to figure out that problem, time is ticking in the next three weeks. >> jesse: i figured it out, these mail-in ballots have to be contained, no way you can just pump out millions and millions of mail-in ballots that have a bunch of partisan democrats handling them in the dark. the thing that always strikes me is, remember the guy that said he drove 300,000 ballots from new york to pennsylvania and was told to park somewhere and make up the next morning and the truck is stolen with all the ballots? how is that not the biggest story in the country right now? >> emily: that is a truth is stranger than fiction narrative right there, it's insane these stories that came out of it and on that point i wanted to comment on something at the hearing, he said, we all have anecdotes and he's right. i do, everyone here does in the

whole point is that, with that volume of election of irregularities and the subsequent total erosion of the national confidence especially to the tune of 74 million people that voted for president trump, there's only two ways that that will be addressed and one is by federal or local election reform, the constitutional kind. and i'm talking about the basic fundamentals requiring a showing of identification and secondly for the courts to step in and rule on the substantive issues, not on standing, not on immediate injunctive relief or procedural issues but actually on the merit. wasn't it einstein that said "true insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting a different result the next time." >> jesse: i believe it was albert einstein who said that. what a guy. up next, joe biden finally answering a question about his

hours ago, fox news obtaining a 2017 email between hunter biden and a chinese businessman where hunter sends "best wishes from the entire biden family" and asks the man to quickly send a $10 million wire to properly fund and operate a joint venture within the chinese energy company. we have the email showing that the ask was made. i guess the vice president, president-elect kind of answer the question today saying he's confident his son did nothing wrong which must mean he learned at some point that there was an investigation, he hasn't answered that yet and he apparently thinks there is nothing to the allegations which he understands of the allegations are. >> jesse: that money did actually go through, it just went to a different holding company, this is why this scandal poses such a national security threat, the bidens

where the french people for china's belt and road initiative, they were selling the biden name to the chinese for cash and the chinese were using the biden name to cut deals all over the world and increase their power and influence. just follow the money, why were the chinese wiring the bidens $6 million? i was hunter sending his uncle $1.3 million? what was hunter doing in luxembourg and france and romania representing china's largest energy company? why were they sharing and office with the chinese chairman? why was hunter getting equity stakes in chinese energy companies? no one has any answers to these questions. i mean, i am only watters here but something tells me the chinese were not interested in hunter, they were interested in

joe and that is the issue here. >> dana: showed the biden team take this a little bit more seriously and try to be more transparent and answer some additional questions about it or do you think they are doing fine? >> juan: no, they have to answer questions, dana, i don't think there's any question about it. the thing is we don't know the extent of this story, we don't know how deep and troublesome it might be for hunter biden or for joe biden, we just don't know at this juncture. but that's not to say or somehow excuse the idea that, you know, you have russia involved in what happened in 2016 or russia this year involved just this week in hacking u.s. government agencies and trying to spare job biden all along in the 2020 election, just because somehow they might be a tax lien involving hunter biden doesn't mean all of a sudden everything else that's been said about russia trying to

tie hunter biden and joe biden to the ukrainian prosecutor, wasn't part of a political effort by the russians to help donald trump? and said we get it laid out, one conspiracy after another, there is no evidence. we just don't know. >> jesse: what is it? what team at the chinese offered the biden family of $5 million interest-free loan. >> juan: you don't know -- >> jesse: a $5 million interest-free loan, you would have said and peach like that. why is it okay when the chinese do it? >> juan>> juan: why did president trump have a secret chinese bank account? why are president trump's children involved with china? why don't you go look at from kids in china? >> dana: greg, may i ask you why you think it is that only peter doocy has maybe a deep

enough voice to penetrate in the press gaggle to withdraw questions? >> greg: because, you know what, if you do ask that question to joe, when you get off work and you go to that capitol hill party or zoom call, your friends, your peers in that industry are not going to like you so you can't ask certain questions, you've got to be more like an obnoxious white house reporter peppering kayleigh with insults, then you get the emails and the pats on the back. i think we are living in a narrower everybody everybody is getting wasted on thei hoisted n their own petard. you have the media that were chasing the family, trying to look for influence, foreign influence and it's actually biden's family, the people they've been protecting. meanwhile, you see swallo swalwd

that special counsel himself so we will see if he does so before january. i wanted to make a quick comment about the landscape of the incoming administration, the question isn't whether china is a threat or how deep their insidious measures in this country have taken root, it's what is this next administration going to do about it? and the thing is i don't actually have to do anything, the table is already laid perfectly for them. i mentioned at the doj's china initiative yesterday, in two years they prosecuted dozens of people across tons of industries for espionage and sabotage in terms of countering the measures by china while utilizing american weaknesses. ip, physical breaches, military intelligence, economics, the list goes on so the incoming biden administration, all they have to do is say, green-lighted and keep it going, divorce themselves from the capitulating obama administration and the

outdated rhetoric of the president-elect and just press the green light because they are just faces to the countless statistics that have been building up for frankly decades. >> dana: all right. coming up, one of hollywood's biggest movie stars caught on leaked audio and he was going ballistic. >> we are not joining the [bleep] movie, is it understood it? >> dana: tom cruise blowing up on his film crew for breaking covid rules. much more on that next. ♪ man 1 vo: proof of less joint pain woman 1 oc: this is my body of proof. and clearer skin. man 2 vo: proof that i can fight psoriatic arthritis... woman 2 vo: ...with humira. woman 3 vo: humira targets and blocks a specific source of inflammation

honored. they do not stay in the great gt american tradition. >> greg: what say you, emily? you were once a cheerleader for the oakland raiders. raters. they are like evil pirates. you should be canceled. >> emily: no, they will never be canceled, don't take that away from me. i just keep thinking about who is paying the salary for this, is it my tax dollars? can i redirect because that high school, lincoln high, in addition to being 54% asian-american is the top 20% of the 9600 california schools in terms of overall testing and they got there with efficiency score. i would love to be part of the movement rather than canceling things and having a mag having my tax dollars go toward the scarlet letter campaign of maybe reducing the student/teacher ratio in california, having us make our mark on the global scale on the types of competitive industries we are

falling behind in. that's where i'd like my money to go. the closest school to lincoln high is feinstein elementary so brainstorm together on alternatives for that. >> greg: you know, dana, it really is the sense of priorities, this is not the problem you should be focusing on in the age of covid and these kids are falling behind in their classes. >> dana: in the first block we were talking about, you know, where do republicans go from here? we were talking about election integrity but i do think there's another thing here, a friend of mine, and republican communicator has been doing a lot of research and there is room here for conservatives to go after the parental vote and that cuts across all sorts of partisan lines. parents have had it with all of this maneuvering about not opening schools but this happened in fairfax county, virginia, two weeks ago or they

decided they were going to rename thomas jefferson high school. this is actually kind of a national movement and there is an opportunity here if somebody wants to pick up the mantle and try to push for it, republicans can probably figure out a way to get some more votes. >> greg: that is an excellent strategy, dana. i hope you don't get canceled but what could you get canceled for? in 20 years, in 20 years, owning a dog will be seen as evil. i predict that, it will be seen as a kind of domination. >> dana: being from a cattle ranching family. >> greg: there you go, excellent. a huge winter storm slamming part of the country right now but many kids are going to be robbed of a snow day. ♪ good morning, mr. sun. good morning, blair.

reality is, what would be more of a treat these days is for these kids to have a school day, to go to school and for so many kids this is just not happening. i love it, i just think that given that kids are home every day, it doesn't fit right now but it used to be just wonderful to have a day off. >> emily: i love all the intellectual words going on in this block. sorry, guys, stay with us.
