a massive divide in congress as a new class is sworn in. jillian: detroit lions fans didn't have much to celebrate this season but thanks to that kick they can drink their sorrows away with free beer. "fox & friends first" continues right now. ♪ it's the final countdown. ♪ ♪ the final count down. todd: speaking of beer, in order to be all philly centric, i had ying ling yesterday to root the eagles on to victory to help the giants. it didn't work. thanks for that. appreciate that. jillian: i was asleep for that. did not see it. read about it. i thought todd is going to having to say about that.

todd: we had wil will cain on. we're the losers. we're going to go to the winner, his name is griff jenkins. you're watching "fox & friends first" on this monday morning man.i'm todd piro. jillian: i'm jillian mele. the senate majority is on the line. todd: washington football fan griff jenkins is live in georgia where the president is expected to rally support tonight. hey, griff. >> reporter: good morning, todd and jillian. i won't rub in that win because we got big news here. he very chilly dalton, north georgia. you can see the folks here, though, the cold's not bothering them. they're already lining up to hear the president tonight. that's terry in the middle, he's from detroit and lisa here is from dalton. folks are all a over the place. now, the president's coming here because early voting shows republicans need a strong

turnout north of atlanta but he's coming on the heels of a firestorm following the leak of that audio obtained by the washington post of the president pressuring georgia's secretary of state, brad raffensperger, to secure enough votes to overturn the presidential election results. listen. >> the people of georgia are angry. the people of the country are angry and there's nothing wrong with saying that, you know, that you've recalculated. >> well, mr. president, the challenge that you have is the data you have is wrong. >> all i want to do is this. i just want to find 11,780 votes which is one more than we have. because we won the state. >> reporter: now, raffensperger confirmed the call to fox news but it's causing division. georgia's gop chairman, david schaefer, took to twitter saying this, mind boggling that

georgia's secretary of state and lawyers would secretly record and release a confidential conference with the president, this after the president tweeted calls for georgia's governor to resign. kemp for his part is trying to avoid conflict and support the candidates. >> people are firedired up down here. they know that we're the red wall to stop socialism and hand the keys to pelosi and bernie and aoc and you her and we just can't do that. we've got to save the country. >> reporter: loeffler and perdue have been navigating the division, trying to rally support and put the focus back on the democrats and what's at stake. watch. >> it's not just radical ideas that would transform our country. it's radical candidates like raphael warnock. but look, he'd be a rubber stamp for chuck schumer. >> reporter: meanwhile, vice president-elect kamala harris down in savannah went on the attack.

>> well, it was certainly the voice of desperation. most certainly that. and it was a fall, bold faced, bold abuse of power by the president of the united states. >> reporter: now, president-elect biden will hold a rally in atlanta today where he will likely raise this issue. the white house is not officially commenting on the call so we have to wait and find out what the president will say here in dalton tonight about it. it will be interesting to see whether it has a huge impact because already, todd and jillian, more than 3 million georgians have already cast their ballots. guys. todd: i can't wait until you recap what the president says tonight when we're back here tomorrow morning. i think it's going to be fascinating. griff jenkins live for us on the ground in dalton, georgia. appreciate it, griff. jillian: the mainstream media slamming the president over the audio, the washington post released. former speaker of the house from

georgia newt gingrich says the president's words are nothing new. >> the president behaved like the president. he thinks he's been cheated. he thinks that the election was false. he's deeply frustrated with both the secretary of state and the governor all of us -- he's tweeted all of that. i suspect you'd find 90% of the phone call in tweets over the last month or so. the key for the election doesn't have anything to do with the phone call, it those do with two things. will republicans turn out and vote? and if they do vote, will their votes be counted accurately? i think those are the heart of what's going to happen the next two days. todd: the voter irregularities have a growing list of republicans planning to object to joe biden's win this week. jillian: jackie ibanez joins us with a look at the busy week

ahead. >> there's a lot to unpack in the world of politics. let's start with the electoral vote count, the last official step to certifying the next president of the united states. but as of this morning, there were 13 gop senators who say they will object to the results on wednesday. the effort being led by senators josh holly of missouri and ted cruz of texas. cruz speaking out on sunday morning futures. listen. >> dismissing these claims i think does real violence to our democratic system. we have an a obligation to the voters and we have an obligation to the constitution to ensure that this election was lawful. >> reporter: in a memo to colleagues, republican congresswoman liz cheney warned the move sets a, quote, exceptionally dangerous precedent that threatens to steal states' constitutional responsibility for choosing a president and b bestowing it instead on congress. this comes as congress convened yesterday for the start of a new session. nancy pelosi squeezing out just enough votes to win re-election

as speaker but not without opposition from her own party. five democrats opposed pelosi and either voted for another member for speaker or voted present instead of putting a name forward. in the end, pelosi won with 216 votes to kevin mccarthy's 209. before handing the gavel to be pelosi, mccarthy told democrats it was a wake-up call. >> we were outspent, district by district, no republican incumbent was defeated. none. voters endorsed common sense, not conflict. it was a referendum against a radical agenda to defund the police and punish hard work. it was a wake-up call. the question i ask of this congress, were we listening? jillian?>> as for democrats, ped they will continue to do what they have always done. >> the house will continue or work to save lives and livelihood, to build back better

in a way that advances justice in america. we must pursue just justice, ecc justice, justice in health, racial justice, environmental and climate justice, the list goes on. >> dozens of house republicans have said they will object to the election results. alabama congressman mo brooks was among the first to speak up. he will be joining us a little later in the morning. todd, jillian. jillian: thank you. todd: a packed house as lawmakers abandon the social distances while speaker nancy pelosi reads the oath to new members of congress. republicans slamming pelosi for allowing congresswoman gwen moore on the floor for the speaker vote despite her testing positive for covid last week. colorado republican ken buck tweeting pelosi is putting the pub lick's health at -- public's health at risk to keep herself in power. moore says she was medically cleared to travel. jillian: a fox news alert now.

overnight, 12 people are hurt in two separate shootings in south florida. police say two gunmen randomly opened fire on a family at a park, eight people are hurt including a 16-year-old boy. six of them are in critical condition. hours later, four people were hurt in another shooting not far the park. investigators are working to see if the shootings are connected. todd: a live look in london where julian assange is expected to appear in court this morning. a british judge will decide if he should be sent back to the u.s. to face charges including espionage. assange is accused of illegally hacking into u.s. government websites and leaking secret military documents. the 49-year-old has been in a london prison since last year. assange's lawyer saves he could face up to 175 years in prison if convicted. jillian: president trump will award the medal of freedom to california congressman devin nunes. he's expected to be awarded sometime this week. sources tell fox news ohio congressman jim jordan will

receive the high honor. he's expected to be awarded next week. todd: time now, nine minutes after the hour. still ahead, tensions running high ahead of tomorrow's historic senate runoff. jillian: dr. alveda king lives in georgia and says it is getting down to the wire. she shares what the feel in the peach state is heading into election day. >> the newer of the country is -- the future of the country is here in georgia. >> my name is on the ballot. this is about you. >> we have to hold the line in this election.

>> the future of the country is on the ballot here in georgia. >> my name is on the ballot and on the box but this is about you. >> we've got to hold the line in this election. >> see what kind of a statement we're going to make about the values that we stand for. jillian: in just hours, president trump and joe biden will head down to georgia as the senate candidates fight for the

last votes on election eve. todd: so how is the political atmosphere in the peach state heading into election day. dr. alveda king joins us live. dr. king, great to have you, as always. describe if you would the feel on the ground in georgia right now. >> good morning, and i'm glad to answer that question. certainly there are four candidates on the ballot for the united states senate in georgia and what we've been doing in the prayer community is urging people not to vote for personalities but for principles. it's very, very important that we elect folks who are going to go into office and stand up for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. that includes life from the womb to the tomb. we know that two of the radical liberals are supporting abortion, for example, and saying they're going to fight for women to be able to get abortions and ignoring the civil rights of the babies in the womb.

that's a very important point for us. so we are asking -- i've already voted and of course i did vote for the two candidates that represent my platform, my principles and my biblical views. and that of course would be loeffler and perdue. so i've asked people not to make it political but to vote according to bible lines and many of the people that i know are doing that. voting also for civil rights, for the civil rights of the babies in the womb. jillian: alveda, what do you think of the mixed messaging from republicans that we've seen, especially ramping up over the last few weeks with president trump and republicans supporting him, still wanting to ensure election security but then at the same time saying you need to get out and vote. you know, i mean, what's going on down there? what do republicans think about this messaging? >> well, what is happening with the confusion about the messaging, it's got to be made more clear that you just -- not

even voting along party lines, but values, principles, civil rights for everybody, from the womb to the tomb and so some people are going back and forth, speculating. i have hope. i still have hope. i've not given up on having a president that supports the babies in the womb, for me that's president trump. there's many like me who are staying laser focused and saying vote for principles, vote for what you believe, vote for faith, hope and love. vote for civil rights and that includes the baby's in the womb. todd: dr. king, you join hundreds of others seeking divine intervention with a prayer rally outside the georgia state house over the weekend. what i keep coming back to is does the average voter in georgia who isn't like us, who isn't all consumed with politics all the time, who is going about their life, raising a family, focused on their job, focused on all that, do they understand the ramifications of their vote? >> i believe that many more are

understanding the ramifications of each vote, every vote needs to matter, every vote needs to count and people are waking up to that across georgia. it has happened around america as a matter of fact as well. and you can see that reflected with the objections that you're going to hear from members of congress throughout the week about some of the things that have happened with voting. so people are waking up and not just one community, african-american community for example, the prayer community, for example. we are saying it's time for genuine justice right chose justice, the best way to do that is to pray and rally the troops and let people know what is going on. jillian: it's going to be -- it is so important now more than ever to get out and vote in georgia. as we know, if democrats take both of those seats, they're going to control the house, the senate and the white house so there is a lot on the line, that

is for sure. dr. alveda king, thank you for joining us. make sure to watch bret baier and martha mccallum's special coverage on the georgia senate runoff tomorrow night. thank you. todd: still ahead, new york's governor could of get the power to remove and detain anyone, anyone posing a risk to public health. a newly proposed bill sparking backlash. jillian: an emotional week ahead for long-time jeopardy fans as alex trebek's final episodes air this week. we'll be right back. ♪ the new myww+ gives you more of what you need to help you lose weight!

todd: a long night for hundreds of senior citizens who camped

outside the daytona stadium, hopes of getting a covid vaccine. >> i've never sat outside for anything in my life. >> i brought crocheting, breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, a blanket, pillow. jillian: drive-through vaccinations are expected this morning. the first 1,000 people at the stadium will receive the vaccine. todd: that's one way to do it. a new bill could give new york's governor the power to remove or detain people for having covid-19. jillian: this is something. cheryl casone from our sister network, fox business, joins us with more on the proposed law. good morning, cheryl. cheryl: guys, good morning to you. a bill being sponsored by new york democratic lawmaker would allow governor cuomo or other officials the power to remove and detain anyone they deemed a threat to public health. the proposal states it would, quote, amend the public health law in relation to the removal of cases, contacts and carriers of communicable diseases, who

are potentially dangerous to public health and they would be detained in a medical facility or other appropriate facility or premises designated by the governor. social media backlash ensued. former congressional candidate liz joy tweeted this is he detention camp stuff in new york. the bill is expected to be taken up this wednesday in albany. todd: the small business protest movement getting stronger. cheryl: yeah, california bar and restaurant owners are fed up with governor newsom's order to ban outdoor dining, not only are they protesting but they're demanding the governor give them the science and the data that shows that outdoor dining is a risk. helen nasser says the rules unfairly target small business. >> it's impossible to add a here to the guidelines and these big corporate retail stores and yet the establishments that are following the guidelines are being shut down. it's unamerican.

it's unamerican. cheryl: these owners say indoor malls are still open so why are they still closed? again, science, data, where is it. jillian: for months they were telling us go outdoors. outdoors is safer than being indoors. definitely an argument she has there and a lot of business owners of. speaking of los angeles, fema is interestingly enough coming out with a list of the safest and most dangerous places in the us. tell us about this sl thi this. cheryl: los angeles has taken the top spot as the riskiest place for a natural disaster to occur. fema says when it comes to earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, anything natural threat, the top five risky east counties are number one la county, bronx county in new york, new york county, miami-dade and philadelphia. safest counties in the u.s., louden county, virginia number one and then chattahoochee

georgia, wrangle alaska, loving county in texas and a county in hawaii. jillian: i feel we should check that out to be sure that it's really safe. cheryl: road trip. todd: let's go. pack up the van. thanks, cheryl casone. jillian: now to this. jeopardy set to air alex trebek's last five episodes this week, the episodes were supposed to air the week of christmas. producers were worried viewers would miss them due to the holidays. todd: trebek passed away in november from pancreatic cancer. he was 80 years old. jillian: the show will air new episodes on the 11th with ken jennings as the first guest host f time now, 25 minutes after the hour. a record number of republican women sworn into the 117th congress. jillian: florida congresswoman cat kamak is one of them. she joins us live, next.

>> it gives me great pride to serve as speaker of the most diverse house of representatives in the history of our country with a record-shattering 122 women. 100 years after women won the right to vote. todd: a record number of republican women sworn into the 117th congress. jillian: one of the members of the historic group of women, florida congresswoman, cat cammack joins us live. good morning. thank you for being here. >> absolutely. good morning to you guys. jillian: you are the youngest woman in the gop in the house of representatives. tell me what that feels like and also what perspective you think can bring. >> well, it's just an incredible honor to be sworn in as a member of congress, period.

but to hold the title of the youngest republican woman in the country, it bears an additional responsibility and burden and i tell people all the time i only want the title for two more years, my job for the next two years in addition to my constitutional duty as a legislator is to go out and find my replacement. i think it's time that not only do we need more women at the table, but we need more millennials and we have the gen z coming up as the largest voting block in america and so many decisions made today rest on our shoulders and our children's shoulders. i think it's important that we have young people engaged in the process, really helping craft decisions for our country down the road and just join this incredible class of women. i said it before, they are incredible executives, ceos, veterans, incredible people in their own right and not one of us campaigned on being a woman which i think is the best way to go about it.

we all campaigned on being the best person for the job and here we are, one day after being sworn in an. todd: now that you're part of the club, congresswoman, on youe one of the people planning to object to the election results. >> just yesterday i took an oath to the united states constitution, not to a party, but the united states constitution to uphold and defend it and article 2, section 1, clause 2, explicitly states that it is our job when all the checks and balances within the state legislatures have failed and we saw this in six states in particular where the courts were making decisions t about their electoral process, when that has failed we have to step in. there are too many election irregularities that occurred across the country to allow this to go by without any objection and earlier in the month of

december we sent a letter, my freshmen members and i did did asking speaker pelosi to investigate the irregularities, those calls for investigation have gone unheard. we are taking our jobs very seriously by objecting on the sixth. jillian: is this more symbolic or do you see this going somewhere? >> i personally just like doing anything for the sake of making a point or political statement. that's not what this is. this is us doing what our constitutional duty is as legislators, as representatives of the people's house. there are 74 million people across the country that are ebbs exceptionally disappointed in how this has all gone down. it's incumbent upon us to represent their wishes and their wish in the people's house. that's what this is about. todd: nancy pelosi was reelected spea speaker by a narw margin as five democrats broke rank, either voting for someone

else or voting present. what does this say to you about the future of the democratic party. >> i actually think this is a great day in america when you have such narrow margins for the democrats, that they cannot steamroll republicans. today you're going to see a very controversial package come to the hows floor attempt -- house floor attempting to strip the minority republicans of their voice and i think that that should really be the topic of the day. what we're going to see is a tremendous fight where the democrats are going to have to come to the floor and really work with republicans. if they don't, you're going to see what's happening like what's happened yesterday. you're going to see division and fractures on the left and really that is good because part of the dialogue we haven't had in the country in a long time. i'm excited they don't have the numbers in mass to really push us to the side. they're going to have to work with us and i'm excited about that. jillian: a little of your personal experience that you'll be able to bring before i let

you go. i know your family lost your cattle ranch in 2011. you've been very open about the trials and tribulations with that. as someone who understands different challenges that face small business owners, what is your fight going to be for those many business owners who are struggling across this country today? >> you know, only in america and i've said this repeatedly, only in america, someone like me go from homeless to the house of representatives. that is truly about what america is all about. it is equal opportunity, not equal outcome. so the agenda that we're going to be pushing forward is about preserving that american opportunity and for the small businesses that have been struggling, i'm a third generation commercial sandblaster, grew up in a small family business, i 100% understand the struggles they're going through right now and i can't tell you the number of comments, messages, phone calls, text messages i get on a daily basis from folks in my district

that are struggling. we're going to be focused, aggressively supporting an economic opportunity, agenda that supports small businesses, gets our country back up and running, not shutting us down and more lockdowns. that's the wrong approach as we recover from this economic and pandemic travesty. we're going to be working on that in the 117th. so stay tuned. todd: you have a busy day, a busy week ahead of us. don't be a stranger, come back, let us know how it's going there. cat cammack, we appreciate your time. thank you. jillian: now you to this story, the detroit lions kicker scores free beer for the motor city. >> matt schrader knocks it through. todd: he's good at the long one, breaking the nfl record sunday for the most career 50-yard field goals. the kick earning the motor city a round of bud light. jillian: he won the beer maker's

challenge of kicking the longest field goal this season. todd: good for him. jillian, if that's not enough beer to get you through monday, we've got more. a 101 year old man cracking open a cold one in an epic birthday celebration. that story coming up. jillian: "fox & friends first" weekend cohort will cain is live in georgia ahead of the runoff elections. >> reporter: good morning. how are you this morning. we have early voting numbers in georgia where i am right now in the two crucial senate runoff races, those numbers, a little reminiscent of what we saw in november in the presidential election. could be concerning for republicans. more on "fox & friends first." ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

in the general election november 3rd. will cain live on the ground for us in atlanta. he joins us now. >> reporter: good morning. i would suggest those might be concerning numbers for republicans. they're somewhat reminiscents of what we saw in november during the presidential election. first of all, almost a million votes coming in through mail-in balloting. that would seem to favor democrats. more, if you dive in a little deeper, you can see who is voting. first of all, 55% of total early votes coming from women voters. that generally favors democrats again. a good 30% of early votes coming in from black voters. that also favors democrats. and in a conversation we had earlier, todd, you just highlighted this as well, over 115, i believe it's up to 117,000 early votes coming from voters who didn't vote in november. now, can you imagine a republican who did not vote in the election with donald trump on the ticket? it would seem to suggest, again,

that favors democrats. making it all the more important that republicans turn out on election day for in-person voting. jillian: when you look at the breakdown of the numbers, it really is fascinating. will, do you get the sense, being on the ground there, that people truly and really understand the ramifications of this election? because i mean, this is for argument's sake the most important election of their lives down there. as you know, if democrats take both seats, they control the house, the senate and the white house. do you think people truly understand that? >> reporter: i think they do. i think people understand that across this nation, jillian, not just in georgia. they understand that the legislative agenda through the house, the senate and the presidency will be controlled by democrats and they can pursue whatever they like, whatever is the most important thing for them. the question is, balancing that against their frustration and enthusiasm with the presidential election results and the thought that it could be election fraud there, was election fraud here in georgia, those are the two

counter balances, jillian. jillian: understanding that -- understanunderstanding it is ong and then actually going out and voting. it will be fascinating to see what the breakdown is of who voted early, that typically goes in the favor of democrats, but seeing who wins on election day, that is going to be huge. concerns grow over a surge in covid-19 cases post holidays as the u.s. surpasses 350,000 deaths, how worried should we be. dr. marty makary answers that next. todd: let's check in with steve doocy for the first time in new year to see what's coming up on "fox & friends." >> i've been gone two weeks. what did i miss? todd: nothing. >> you're wrong. yesterday, the 117th congress was officially sworn in, the leader of the house, republicans, kevin mccarthy will join us live to talk about how nancy pelosi won but it was a squeaker. down in georgia, voters are preparing to head to the polls

tomorrow in the highly anticipated senate runoff elections. will republicans come out on top? we're going to talk to newt gingrich, he is from georgia. he'll tell us exactly which counties to look at and hear why arkansas' attorney general leslie rutledge says this race could put support for law enforcement on the ballot as well. a growing number of republicans objecting to the electoral college results. senator marsha blackburn is one of them. she will join us live. new year, new governor, former san diego mayor shares why he's joining the movement to recall california governor gavin newsom. we have a busy three hours, kicks off in 16 and-a-half minutes from right now, right here on the channel you trust for your morning news. todd and jillian return with "fox & friends first" in just a couple of minutes. happy new year.

jillian: good morning. welcome back. the u.s. hitting record-breaking covid-19 cases since christmas, more than 1.6 million americans have been infected since the holiday with nearly 20,000 more deaths. todd: how wore receipt should e be -- worried should we be? dr. marty makary, what's your greatest concern as we're in 2021 right now? >> good morning. we're not sure whether or not the increase that we've seen in the last kim day couple days isa function of weekend reporting which sometimes is inaccurate or if it's really a bump after the holidays. we're hoping it's a plateau. i think we're scheduled to peak this week or next week and a it's likely that this is simply the peak right now. now, the hospitalizations and the deaths lag about two to

three weeks behind the number of cases so this is going to be a difficult month either way. jillian: let's talk about the rollout of the vaccine. we know at least 13 million vaccines have been distributed but only 4 million administered. a lot of people are asking what's going on. what do you say? >> well, jillian, there's a few reasons. first of all, the cdc was very late with their guidance. the cdc voted on their guidance two weeks after the vaccine was fda authorized and distributed and in the arms of americans. many states and hospitals were depending on that guidance. that guidance came late. the vaccines are being given right now in people who are already immune from natural immuneity from previous infection. that should not be happening. that is taking up some of the vaccine supply. plus, the government held back 55% of the vaccines supply, arguing they have to reserve a second dose. a growing group of physicians now including myself are calling on the fda -- on the government to release the entire supply, to maximize the number of people

that get the first dose. there's also the problem of people cutting in the vaccine line and we've under-utilized dialysis centers. there's 7,500 dialysis centers that have been giving the flu shot for decades through those centers and we know that those with kidney disease are the highest risk americans. so those are some ways where we can really turn things around with this deployment. todd: in a situation where literally every day that somebody doesn't get a vaccine, especially in these tough months, january, february, march, could mean the difference quite frankly between life and death. are you confident that we can right this ship and do the things that you have suggested sooner rather than later so that, i don't know, by the end of winter, which would be mid to end march, everybody who wants a vaccine is on track to get it if they don't have it already? >> yeah, we need to move towards mass community inoculation. that's exactly right, todd. and i think we're going to get there. i hope it's march instead of

april. i think we've seen some positive signs like the state of florida ignoring the cdc guidance and using a very simple construct that makes sense, that europe has been using and that is to start with the oldest people in society and then march downward, based on age. that's a simple allocation strategy. it works, it saves the most number of lives and avoids the problem of a 25-year-old firefighter getting the vaccine first in line who has no risk factors. we've got to start with those who are high risk. also, i really hope the fda decides to approve the oxford, astrazeneca vaccine. they've been very stubborn with this. this is a vaccine that works well, that's $2, that doesn't require any freezing, where the distribution is so simple. it's being administered today in the u.k. and we're not even close. the fda is months away from authorizing that vaccine. i hope they get their act together. jillian: why are they being stubborn with it? >> first of all, they took seven weeks to investigate the adverse

event that was alleged in the u.k. whereas the rest of the world allowed that study to resume and data to accrue immediately. second of all, they've insisted on an entire another trial because they were not happy when they heard that some of the patients in the trial got half a dose which was an error. they got half a dose initially. let's learn from that data. let's not scold the company for it. jillian: dr. marty makary, thank you very much for joining us. todd: up next, alabama congressman mo brooks leading the effort to object to the presidential election results. he joins us next.

.

♪ >> we wept into this election with the country deeply divided, deeply polarized. and we have seen in the last two months unprecedented allegations of voter fraud. i think we have an allegation to the voter who have an obligation to the constitution to ensure that this election was lawful. todd: a growing number of republicans in the house and senate expected to reject the results of the 2020 presidential election. jillian: alabama representative mo brooks has been leading the evident and says it's gaining momentum. he joins us live. sir, thank you for being here. we appreciate it. >> good morning. my pleasure. jillian: why did you decide to do. this i diserpd early on there was massive voter fraud and violation of the united states constitution and various federal

election statutes and from that i deduced that the democrats were actively engaging in voter fraud and in my judgment at least from the evidence i had seen, i came to the conclusion that if we only counted legal votes cast my eligible american citizens then donald trump, not joe biden won the electoral college. and once i reached that conclusion, i had no course of action to take other than to fight for honest and accurate elections. todd: what reforms do you think you will be able to effectuate through this action? >> i hope, if nothing else, we will abide by some of the recommendations of a commission on federal elections in 2005 that was co-chaired by democrat president jimmy carter. we need to have photo identification of voters to minimize the fraud that occurs there. we need to make it easier for our boards of registrars to deny illegal aliens and non-citizens voter registration cards. the democrats in 1993 rammed

through the @congress the national voter registration act that makes it illegal for our voter registrars to require proof of citizenship when an illegal alien or other non-citizen demands to be registered to vote. that's insanity. we need to fix the non-citizen voting problem. finally we need to do what jimmy carter recommended which is minimize, minimize the use of mail out ballots, absentee ballots because as the commission noted in 2005, that is probably the most vulnerable fraud-prone area of our election system. jillian: let's go ahead and take a look he at the statement. coalition of seven house republicans who say they won't challenge the election results reading quote congress has only a narrow role in the presidential election process. it role is to count the electors submitted by the states not to determine which electors the states should have sent. what do you say to that? >> well, i think that's the kind of argument that members of our surrender caucus advocate on a

regular basis. the bottom line is this. there is massive voter fraud. there is election theft activity. you can either turn a blind eye to that voter fraud and election theft activity or you can fight for the integrity of our election system. i choose to fight and i would add further that that statement from those members of the surrender caucus directly conflicts with over 200 years of conduct by the united states congress with respect to the election of the president of the united states. so you have got 200 years of history and none of itson othe side of that statement. todd: finally congressman, president trump and president-elect biden rallying today in georgia will before the tomorrow's historic runoffs. are you confident the republicans can pull this out and do you feel that your efforts through what you are doing right now are going to help or hurt loeffler and perdue? >> i'm absolutely confident that if only lawful votes were

counted are in georgia's election tomorrow, then loeffler and purdue win. in fact, in my judgment, perdue, he whop on november the 3rd. if you recall, he was conditioned the winner's position by three tenths of 1%. there was easily enough illegal votes counted, voter fraud conducted in the state of georgia to have made the difference be between senator perdue winning without a runoff. i believe he won without a runoff on november 3rd. under article 1 section 5 of the united states constitution. i hope that senator perdue will contest this election if it is stolen again and that the senate will correct that wrong as they are authorized to do under the @constitution. todd: congressman mo brooks starting a movement. it's going to be interesting to see how far this goes. we will check back in with you. we appreciate your time this morning. >> thank you. jillian: we leave you with this now. a pennsylvania man celebrates his 101st birthday with one
