syrian government appears to have fallen in a stunning end to 50 years of rule by the assad family, insurgents conducted a lightning offensive claiming to have liberated the capital city of damascus. and right now, reports are coming in of syrian opposition gunfire at the entrance of the syrian presidential palace in damascu. earlier saturday, residents reported hearing intense gunfire in the city's center. syrian officials say president bashar al assad has fled to fled the city that is by plane to an unknown destination. syrian rebels also saying they fully liberated the city of homs and aleppo, was captured earlier in the week. meantime, protesters continue to tear down statues and posters of assad across the country as those shouts of freedom continue to ring out in the streets. word from the white house as well that president biden and his team are closely monitoring this extraordinary chain of events in syria and staying in contact with regional partners. let's go now to joel rubin, who's joining us

on the phone. he's a former deputy assistant secretary of state. and we talked about this earlier as these events were unfolding. joel, just how absolutely stunning and extraordinary this is for syria, for the people of syria. >> mary. and it really is. and as we continue to see more information coming across, one can't help but feel the sense of euphoria inside of syria right now. just seeing the faces, the crowds, the energy. and this is this is an organic revolution that took over a decade. remember the roots of all this were during the arab spring in 2010, 2011, and the demand of people in the region to be free of dictatorships. and then assad brutally cracked down. iran backed him. russia backed him. 600,000 syrians were killed in this war. more than 12 million displaced. that's half of the country's

population. so to see this now, the syrian people feel like this may be a chance to end all of that bloodshed, that war, and that that is a very awesome thing to watch indeed. >> and reports are that assad has fled damascus, but anything more on his whereabouts and where he may have gone? >> well, you know, he sent his family out to moscow, as we were discussing earlier, he sent them out about a week ago. that's where the kids are. i'm sure he might want to get to them, but also the possibility that he went straight to tehran, because those are his primary backers in iran. he was there last week seeking their support, which is a very important point. i just want to emphasize this. assad was losing his grip and went to iran to seek their support. and they basically said no. why? because they don't have the capacity to support him any longer. they had sent hezbollah

forces from lebanon in the past to support him. those forces have been decimated by israel in the past year, iran has been hit by israel and the iranians turned their back and russia as well. and we don't know where he is, but those are the two most likely places. otherwise, it's a real mystery. >> and joe, now, as we watch all the celebrations and the people in the streets, you know, chanting about freedom and moving forward, what is that going to look like? because we've talked about this now a little bit. you know, this is creating, you know, a power vacuum. who's going to be in charge. how is this going to look moving forward? is it going to benefit the people are or are they looking at you know, fighting amongst themselves. >> so in these critical moments, what one has to really look for is who wants to dominate the area physically and take control and restore law and order. and right now, the group, the group this is

the group that has led this this charge into damascus. they seem to be the one that has the ability to do that. but there are other factions. there are other groups in the country. there are 900 american forces in the country, in the east supporting our allies, the kurds. so the question is, is now, after all this fraction, all this fracturing, can they organize, perhaps a discussion, a convening? there are external allies like turkey, which is an american ally that has backed the rebel group. there are other countries that have been involved for years inside the civil war, iraq, jordan. so can we the united states and our partners get together with them and get a negotiation discussion going? there have been efforts over the years, but assad has always blocked him. well, now he's out of the way. so there is a possibility. but it requires incredible and active diplomacy. and this is this is the important ingredient to get these groups together, to chart a path forward. >> and talking about that, you

know, we heard from someone claiming to be a representative of the rebels earlier who said they were interested in working with the west and trying to work with other countries, other arab countries around them, to try and make this a peaceful transition instead of something like a like a civil war moving forward. >> i mean, you know, look, as americans, we're our mindset. we remember iraq. i served in the bush administration during iraq. we invaded iraq. and then later the country crumbled. well, syria has already had its civil war. it has already been fighting for over a decade. this act that we're seeing right now is not creating a civil war. it's the result of a civil war. and so if the if this it's worth testing what this group says, it's worth testing what he says about having a transition to governance from the previous government. the prime minister who has said he wants to work

with them so this is the crucial moment where our allies can engage us and others and say, let's test you, let's see what you want to do and we can find ways to work together, because the civil war has already happened. now is the question of how to rebuild this country. >> all right. how to rebuild, indeed. joe rubin, thank you so much for joining us again. now we're going to go ahead and go to jameel jaffer, the director of the national security law and policy program at george mason university. also former chief counsel and senior advisor for the senate foreign relations committee. jameel, thank you for joining us. as you watch these scenes of people just chanting and just very excited about a possible future without the assad regime, what is what are your thoughts? what is the first thing that comes to mind? >> well, you know, obviously it's an important day for syria. >> this has been a long standing fight against the oppression of the bashar al-assad regime. at the same

time, you know, this organization has hayat tahrir al-sham, you know, was born out of jabhat al-nusra, the al qaeda organization that formed in the lead up to the syrian civil war during the early part of the syrian civil war in 2013. so there are questions about the relationship of this rebel group to its former allies in al qaeda as well as isis. and so i think some of the big concerns we have in this, in this fight are who are these folks? how are they? how are they going to, you know, act in power? and are they really ready to make a break, one with the history of the assad regime. but second, with their own history of relationships with terrorist groups like al qaeda and isis? >> now, that's that's interesting. when you talk about that, because we've talked about all these different factions and the power vacuum that's going to be created by by assad. no longer being the leader. where do you see this going? do you see the people coming together and just saying, you know, let's move

forward. he's gone. let's let's all join forces? or do you think this is going to devolve into chaos for these for these people? >> well, it's a great question. i think a few questions that have to be asked. one, what about this old regime forces? obviously they have not put up very much of a fight. they didn't put up much of a fight in hama or in homs just over the last few days. they haven't in damascus. they've been melted back into the sunnis. will they come back with iranian backing? will they come back with russian backing? will they continue the civil war that's gone on for 13 years or now, that assad is off the country, will they simply try to integrate into a larger government? and then the question of these groups that have come together, some are aligned with u.s. interests. obviously, the kurds in the north, where we've got 2000 american soldiers there fighting with them to prevent isis from rising up again. but the question is, what will this new regime that's taking power in damascus? what will their composition be? what will their view on the world be? who will they align themselves with? we

know that hayat tahrir al-sham has been backed by turkey primarily, which is, of course, a nato ally, but also nato ally that has purchased surface to air missiles in the past, in the recent past from russia. so, you know, we have some challenges in that region and the fight against our friends, the kurds and so, you know, these are these are hard questions. it'll be interesting to see how the next few days, weeks and months play out. what is clear is the biden administration is not interested in getting involved in this fight. and president trump, for his part, coming into office in january, has made very clear the u.s. does not want to be involved in this fight, either. so it doesn't look like the us government is going to get engaged at any significant level beyond the 2000 forces we have there in the north with our friends, the kurds. >> and you mentioned russia, russia and iran. how are they going? how is this going to affect them? i mean, they were supporters of the of assad. how is that going to play out with regard to this? >> well, look, obviously russia has important interests in the region. they have that naval

base at tartus, which they've had for many years. it's an important part of their power projection into the middle east. they've spent a lot of time and a lot of money backing bashar assad, but of course they're quite distracted with the fight in ukraine and the fight within on their own russian territory as well that ukraine has taken. so they're distracted by that. iran, for its part, is, is has been had significant setbacks with the with the fighting against hezbollah by israel in the north, the loss of significant numbers of hezbollah leaders in the past, iran has tasked hezbollah with going to syria to fight on behalf of assad. that's not happening this time around. so the question is, though, will iran and russia come together to try and make a pitch or try and make a push with these traditional syrian armed forces to come back and try to retake syria and retake damascus? they haven't put up a fight for now, which means those fighters are still alive and operating. will they ultimately try to make a run back? that's hard to see. it's hard to believe that's going to happen, but never put anything past russia or iran.

>> yeah, indeed. thank you so much. we appreciate you being with us, jamil. now we're going to go to behnam. ben taleblu joining us by phone as well. he's a senior fellow at the foundation of defense of democracies with a focus in international security in relation to the middle east. welcome, benham. as you're looking at these scenes, what do you think the people of syria should be focusing on right now? i mean, obviously they're very excited about the possibility of freedom moving forward without an assad regime. but what should they be keeping in mind at this point? >> well, first and foremost, this is a historic moment, but also a contradictory moment. you know, it shows just how stable and how strong the assad regime tried to present its face to the world was. but in reality, it showed how much like a house of cards, it really folded and collapsed upon itself. you know, we are still very much in the midst of a civil war in syria. so first and foremost, i absolutely

understand why syrian friends, why syrians in the diaspora and why syrians inside the country are happy right now that the assad regime, the assad family, which is governed from damascus for over half a century, has fallen. but they are not out of the woodwork yet. as one of your earlier guests mentioned, the events were seeing and hearing today in damascus are the result of a civil war, but that civil war is, in my view, still not far from over at all. much of the public relations now that and some of the rebel forces and operations and opposition forces have really sold, sold to external stakeholders, sold to syrians, sold to the international community will now have to be tested. okay. they deconflicted with shia minorities and christian minorities just to have a speedy advance towards the south. but what happens when they have to hold territory? will they be able to work with this transitional

government that has actually put out a statement earlier today, on december 7th? there's a whole host of ifs that will determine very much if the syrian people will actually be able to celebrate in the long term. but make no mistake, this is a historic day in the middle east and one that may well represent the more than half century end of the assad regim. >> what do you think this potential new, you know, new government is going to do? do you think that it will be able to bring, you know, all of these different factions, all of these different groups together to move forward after this? >> you know, if one is speaking from a place of hope and optimism for the syrian people who have been through such hell, hell that the assad regime has subjected them to the fact that it will be hard, the fact that you have islamist, salafist jihadists, the fact that you may have separatist movements, the fact that you may have still isis

remnants, the fact that you have al qaeda linked elements, the fact that you have people who want an actual representative secular democratic government but have no voice or have no way to affect a conversation that is being had through guns rather than through words, rather than through the pen, means that it will be very, very challenging. and this was part and parcel of what the assad regime had done so successfully for so long, which is to constantly make sure that the only voices in the room were the most extreme voices, and it really, as a distinguished author, has written, their strategy really was assad or we burn the country, so now we'll be up to everyone together to pick up the pieces to see if they can actually have a country without assad. this is the real test. now. >> and we have heard that assad has boarded a plane and left damascus. are you hearing anything at this hour about where he might be, where you know his whereabouts?

>> you know, again, the tons of stuff, right now in the rumor mill in terms of his plane. >> there's some allegations on social media and some dubious, likely single source media reporting websites that say that the assad assad's plane crashed. some even alleged he may have been at the controls. this at all right now is hearsay and unconfirmable. there are two main external locations that one would have assumed he would be going in one right now would not have assumed that he would be going to a different location in syria. location number one is russia, where his family was moved to recently. and location number two is where his big state patron is the islamic republic of iran. some have floated around the idea that he could have gone to the uae, who through a last minute diplomatic push, was trying to separate again. the assad regime from iran. but then again, i find that to be highly dubious. i think if it's a

foreign country, it would have likely been iran or russia. but i want to also make one. one last quick point, if i may, which is about the future of syria. and this presents the trump administration an opportunity as well as many, many challenges as well. there may be the intention to withdraw further from the region if the conflict continues. but now is the time to keep a sharp eye on the to keep a sharp eye on the region, to your best defense against erosion and cavities is strong enamel. nothing beats it. i recommend pronamel active shield because it actively shields the enamel to defend against erosion and cavities. i think that this product is a game changer for my patients. it really works. do your dry eyes still feel gritty, rough, or tired? with miebo, eyes can feel ♪ miebo ohh yeah ♪ miebo is the only prescription dry eye drop that forms a protective layer for the number one cause of dry eye: too much tear evaporation.

(gentle breeze) - [announcer] eyes forward. don't drive distracted. mark: welcome back, america, we have the great leo tarrell, fantastic lawyer, wonderful friend. leo tarrell e had never have heard the phrase preemptive pardons. i heard of the pronouns, a guy can be a gal, whatever, now it's preemptive pardon. that's pretty cool. if a mobster becomes president of the united states, he could say preemptive pardon. so they pardon everybody in their life, everybody in their past life for anything they did or may have done or might do or anything else, let me ask you a question, what kind of a president of the united states comes up with a scheme with preemptive pardons to pardon people that were in his regime

and people that supported regime or people that opposed his opponent and things of that, what kind of a mindset is? >> i will tell you exactly why. you have a president who ran a criminal operation in the white house for four years. he criminalized the department of justice, the fbi and guess what, the most incompetent president, they said from modern history, i say ever is now trying to do a preemptive to protect some of the cronies, i never heard of it. you and i believe the constitution, love the constitution but this the guy is trying to the protect those who participated in his criminal activity and he won't get away with it because i will tell you right now, mark, president trump is trying to do what the american people elected him for, he had a majority, landslide in the electoral college, majority in the popular vote and the american people are sick and tired of a criminal operation, so he is in there going to

disrupt what joe biden is trying to do. constitutional preemptive pardon is illegal, unconstitutional, will never happen but it tells you something, it tells you that joe biden is aware that he and others in his administration are guilty of -- of mistrust, of misconduct, of using the american government, the white house and the administration for corrupt criminal purposes. mark: it really is unbelievable, you know, we get people on our network who talk about pardons who never actually dealt with pardons. i had to deal with pardons at the department of justice and the role i held there. i've never heard this discuss before. it point to richard nixon as if richard nixon. ford pardon nixon for crimes in the future and that was done because he wanted to reunite the country and what does that have to do with joe biden on the way out, pushed out the door, he's in the sixth stage, seventh

stage of dementia but he's up to doing this, he's people are scaring around trying to pick all the names, politico, a left-wing website tells us, they are very serious about this. let me put it to this you this way, they damaged impeachment clause, damaging separation of powers, judiciary and now they are going to damage this part of the constitution, they're stopping all over the constitution even as they go out the door, no. >> absolutely, and let me be very clear, joe biden from day one of his administration up until he leaves has lied to the american people. mark, you could create a two-hour video of joe biden claiming he would never pardon his son, a criminal, he would never pardon his son, a two-hour video of this and then you have a man who attacks the department of justice by claiming his son was singled out for selective prosecution, are you kidding me? why won't he fire something from

the department of justice? who singled him out? donald trump has been singled out for selective prosecution, mar-a-lago, the january 6th, the cooperation that joe biden and his staff worked with alvin bragg, fannie willis, the american people have rejected that but what this guy has done, he has torn up the constitution for the last four years. what president trump is going to do is restore the constitution and i have news for all those individuals who are worried about president trump being threat to democracy, no, no, he's going to protect democracy. he's going to protect the constitution. he's going to enforce the constitution and he's going to use the department of justice to enforce what we have not heard for four years, the rule of law. mark: leo terrell it's like night after day, regimes always project onto others what they do

and what they plan to do, so here we have biden, the most antifree speech, the most anti-- let me do it this way, first amendment, second amendment, fifth amendment, sixth, eighth, ninth, 14th amendments, separation of powers, the most anti-constitution, the most antirepublic president in american history, the biggest crook, the whole damn family with the millions coming in from foreign government in american history and we are supposed to be afraid of the attorney general nominee by donald trump pam bondi who for eight years was a fantastic attorney general of florida, we are supposed to be word about pat the el, great hero, great patriot, while this the guy is plotting on preemptive pardons to basically protect his criminal enterprise as you pointed out, his mobster regime and everything related to it. i think it's amazing. more when we return with my

liberty and levi he literally steals classified information out of the senate squiff, there's no immunity, let out of the senate squiff, then

he's vice president of the united states and he keeps stealing information, he likes to har hoard information appare. he takes little note cards, they go back and try to collect that information. he says he turned it all in but he kept it, why, because he wanted to make a book deal. he makes a book deal. they have a ghost writer, by the way, look what i have and he's got these classified note cards. and you can't prosecute him for that because he's president of the united states, so he's immune, meanwhile donald trump is in the supreme court arguing immunity, what's he above the law, he can't be above the law arguing immunity while joe biden is doing exactly what joe biden is doing and now as far as pardons go quickly, they say, well, he ought to the pardon donald trump, my view on that, no, donald trump doesn't need a pardon from joe biden. he didn't do anything wrong.

as far as those convictions in new york are concerned, either they are going to be overturned in the appellate courts there or you go to the supreme court of the united states and put an end to this damn thing. now all that said, what do you think the he should pardon donald trump so to give an excuse to all this lawlessness that she's involved? , all these -- these -- these filthy pardons that he's planning and the one he put in place, donald trump doesn't need a pardon from him, what do you think? >> absolutely not. donald trump should not take the a pardon and reject it. he doesn't need it but that's to be -- joe biden wants to pardon to cover misconduct, that's the whole game and guess what, we always talked about this for the last couple of years, the democrat media will always protect the democrats. they went after trump for the last 3 and a half years, why? why? because they did not want him to become president, donald trump has already had his trial, it was on november 5th when the american people said we want

trump. we want to eliminate this corruption of the biden administration, the american people have rejected the biden administration and that's why trump is going to take the office in january of 2025 but here is the other part, joe biden an cronies are not going to get away with it because pam bondi is going to investigate the investigators and prosecute those prosecutors who went after trump. all the american people want is fairness. no one in this country can deny the fact that president trump was targeted and yet president trump only recent is to make america great again. that's why he's picking pam bondi to the run the department of justice. i got news for you, people who have been victimized during the biden administration, the jewish american students, jewish americans, catholics, first amendment, new sheriff is in town and they are going to protect your rights and there won't be a dual system of justice, president trump is going to protect america's not only during his administration

but he will set the pattern and set the model for all future presidents, that's the rule of justice should be blind, to picking out winners and losers. mark: you make great points and all those things need to be done and let me put it this way, what was done to donald trump was the greatest farce in american history. to use the department of justice, the fbi, to use the courts, to use prosecutors in a way that no other president in american history has done, not even woodrow wilson and he was bad enough, this wasn't even done during the civil war period when the country was breaking apart for a president to do this, and i don't want to hear that he didn't know, of course, he knew, he read the newspapers, he saw tv, he wasn't sending signals, but he didn't, he wanted it to be done, he's the

most corrupt, vile person to ever serve as president of the united states and that pardon of hunter, i wasn't here this last weekend, was his pardon, to cover his you know what and all of his crimes and you know what. this the most corrupt president in american history, the most corrupt regime in american history and you're right, the department of justice has a duty to investigate, to get to the bottom of it, to hold people to account and make sure they didn't destroy documents under the presidential records act, use it against them under the espionage act, use it against them, send your swat team into their the homes to see what they did, that's not retribution, that's equal justice, final words. >> amen, amen. i will tell you right now, wit n president trump takes office he will hit the floor running and he has the team in place, patel, pam bondi, pete hegseth, these

are winners that will make america great and it's going the happen. mark: god bless you, my friend, le ♪ piano music ♪ ♪ when i think about what has ♪ ♪the power to change the world♪ ♪ it could all be said with just one word . . . ♪ ♪ kindness ♪ ♪ what if we lived with a heart of kindness ♪

mark: welcome back, america, we are here with a very important person who had such a significant role in organizing the republican party and the lawyers, the vote count, lara trump, you look back at this, you must be pleased with you and what watley did, you had lawyers on the ground, coordination with other organizations, as you look back on it, what do you think? let met put it this way, what do you think the most important thing or things that you did really helped the outcome of this election? >> that's so nice, mark, yes, we

are incredibly proud. i think when michael took over as chair and cochair of the rnc we understood the gravity of this election and we understood that there were a couple of places where we really had to focus and things that we couldn't leave to chance. obviously first and foremost was election integrity the. i think i previously came on your show and talked to you about the election integrity operation that we put together at the rnc, we had to assure people that, yes, if you come out and vote for donald trump and republicans down ballot, your vote will count, your vote matters. it matters to stand in line, it matters to take some time away from your family or work or whatever it might be and so we put together a team as you just said lawyers but also poll watchers and poll workers that were 230,000 strong. we anticipated trying to get around a hundred thousand people to do this job and excited by the response that we got and we went to every battleground state, we had multiple locations there and we tried specifically

to do local media in those markets and to tell people that we are watching every time a vote is cast and counted, so that was the element of election integrity and then we also wanted to encourage our voters to get out and vote early. that's something that really had never been done before in republican politics. i actually think back to a speech i gave at cpac last february, i talked about early voting, people were not really exciting about it then, mark, they kind of were no unsure if they wanted to trust that but we knew how important that would be so we said, okay, we have to get people out to vote early and we have to make sure that a lot of those people are low-propensity voters, those are people, mark, who might not vote every election cycle and maybe haven't voted in 12 years or so but when they vote they will vote republican. we targeted them, we made sure we dead targeted phone calls, targeted doorknobs and you saw the numbers, the early vote totals for republicans blew

anything we'd ever seen before in our history out of the water. that in addition to some record fundraising obviously aided by most exciting political candidate that i think this country has ever seen in donald trump and, yeah, i think it was a great recipe for success. we were incredibly proud of the entire team we had and it was a real honor to work alongside michael watley and, of course, president donald trump, i can't say enough about how big a win this was and what an incredible mandate we heard from the american people, so kudos to our entire rnc team. mark: the reason i'm asking you these questions, it's important to look back because you want to learn from success, other campaigns need to look from success whether it's presidential, senatorial, whether it's the local school board that the ground game is crucial because president trump is a historic iconic figure and he draws enormous energy and

motivation and support, but it really is the obligation of the republican party as the democrat party does to the serve him a candidate who is running for office to ensure that the basics are being done so an election can't be stolen or you don't have a close vote here or a close vote there, lawyers pour in from the other side, you have to be able, in other words, you need what is sort of a political infantry to handle the ground game, so you have this tremendous candidate who justin sinkively knows what to do, has special connection to the american people and you in the rnc said, okay, we have got to make sure that we do what we are supposed to do so we get the votes out and count the votes properly. was there much coordination in that sense or you both just knew what to do? >> well, of course, yeah, there was definite coordination and actually i think one of the really fundamental things that we did, this election and i

really don't think, mark, it has ever happened prior with donald trump was that there was really no daylight between the rnc and the trump campaign. we worked -- michael and i and chris alongside susie wiles, we worked as one single team and everything that the campaign was doing the rnc was also doing. we were making sure that we were step for step line by line doing everything the same way and that the also meant and didn't have multiple people doing the same job, we had one person on both sides doing one job, that meant the money that we were raising went further. all around i think that was also a really important aspect of, you know, the success that we saw on november 5th. mark: when we come back even though it may be a lit out of your area, what do we do about a state like california that's counting votes a month out, counting, counting, republicans have little leads and by the time they are done, the

democrats always seem to win? what do we do to at least make sure that that's honest? we will be right back.

mark: welcome back, america, with lara trump, one of the most

successful campaign big wigs in history quite frankly. so what -- what can the republicans do when you have votes that just keep going on and on and on for a month and then you lose orange county, you lose other parts of central california with these -- these counting i guess they're voter harvesting, i don't know what they're doing. everybody is used to things happening right away. why does it take a month to count? is that a congressional republican thing, who is responsible for overseeing that sort of thing? >> well, yeah, i do think it falls maybe on the nrcc to a certain extent, but i think there's a bigger conversation maybe to be had, you know, we actually never let our lawyers leave any of these places where vote counts were going well past election day. i've got a lot of messages on x, are you still watching, yes, we were still watching in arizona, in california, anywhere that there were votes still being counted, we were there, we had our team there, we never let them leave.

you saw how important in bucks county, in pennsylvania, of course, and other places in pennsylvania with dave mccormick. but that said, you know, i think the bigger conversation maybe is what -- how do we want to conduct elections in the united states of america? is it fair to say, you know what, half of the states are going the use voter id laws, half of them aren't, half of them will start counting mail-in ballots before election day, half of them will start on election day, it obviously as it exists now is a state by state law and each state gets to determine how they conduct their electoral process but i do think in the wake of 2020, there were so many people who had so many questions about it and i will tell you, we went above and beyond this election because we didn't want to leave anything to chance even if it was the a rogue machine in kentucky that had some sort of malfunction where somebody was pushing donald trump and j.d. vance and casting vote for kamala harris

and tim walz, we weren't concerned about kentucky, guess what, we had to send team there because we wanted every single person across the country to the understand that we were watching but there would be a few simple safeguards that every state could put in place that may prevent things like the imperpetuity counting in states like california in the future, so i do think the american people are ready for that conversation and maybe that's something that we see congress vote on, maybe that's something they ultimately bring to the floor. it would make a lot of people feel better and i think it would secure our electoral process. mark: you make a good point. there's only one party that opposes voter id, it's not the republican party. there's only one party that opposes voter harvesting, that's us. unless they have a physical reason, business reason, employment reason not to and that's us. we are the ones who said, the democrats are constantly looking for ways to the skirt the system

and then say, you guys are trying to steal election, who us, you point to bucks county, there they are in light of day defying their own liberal democrat supreme court in pennsylvania that issues its second opinion in all caps that says, stop counting those ballots and they did it anyway. final words? >> yeah, listen, i think this is the point that the american people made on november 5th. i think we have a huge opportunity for the next two years ahead of us with the majority in the senate, a majority in the house and with donald trump in the white house and all the great people he's going to have alongside him and this administration. now is the time to make permanent change. now is the time to ensure that this country not as just on the right path but things are set up for the long term, not joust four years but the future of this country and so i hope that our folks, the house and senate

work alongside donald trump, i hope that we can see lasting change that is great for this country and i feel very positive about our future, like the rest of the country, mark, i feel like a weight has been lifted off, america in the world with donald trump returning at our 47th president. mark: my god, 100% and we hope that you continue in the public square, you're a very important voice. lara trump, god bless you, my friend, bless to you and your family. >> thank you, right back at you, mark. mark: we dry eyes still feel gritty, rough, or tired? with miebo, eyes can feel ♪ miebo ♪ ♪ ohh yeah ♪ miebo is the only prescription dry eye drop that forms a protective layer for the number one cause of dry eye: too much tear evaporation. for relief that's ♪ miebo ♪ ♪ ohh yeah ♪ remove contact lenses before using miebo. wait at least 30 minutes before putting them back in. eye redness and blurred vision may occur. ♪ miebo ♪ ♪ ohh yeah ♪ ask your eye doctor about prescription miebo.
