be more successful with payments, payroll, banking and live bookkeeping. that does it for me. keep it right here, up next joy reid has an interview with georgia senate candidate warnock. that's next. just as the nixon tapes expose the political crime of the 20th century. leading to the resignation of republican president nixon. trump has been plagued by messy audio. the access hollywood tape. he bragged about groping and sexually assaulting women. after which he got elected anyway. there was a phone call that got him impeached. when hoe pressured ukraine president to dig up dirt on joe

biden. and now, another leaked tape. pepered with lies fits of delusion. bullying and conspiracy theories revealing trump harassing georgia officials to deliver him the exact number of votes he needs to win the state 16 electoral votes. >> so look, all i want to do is this. i want to find 11,780 votes. which is one more than we have. because we won the state. >> to be clear, he did not win georgia. he lost the election there by 12,000 votes. and when the state counted the legally cast ballots a second time and a third time, guess what? he was still the loser. in this hour long call he pressured georgia secretary of state to recalculate the votes.

offering what sure looks like clear proof of criminal intent to steal an election. >> the people of georgia are angry. the people of the country are angry. there's nothing wrong with saying that -- that you recalculated. because the 2,000 ab seen tee ballots. they are numbers that were done by accounting firms, law firms. and even if you cut nthem in half. it's more votes than we need. >> mr. president, the challenge you have is the data you have is wrong. >> it's wrong. this tape which blows water gate out of the water exposes the president of the united states possibly committing a crime. it is proof that the ukraine call wasn't some isolated blip. part of a pattern by a man who in order to steal an election

plain sight put a guy in to break the post office. tried to delegitimize mail in voting and went to court five dozen times. including a supreme court he stacked for that purpose. mainstreamed voter fraud crimes. entertained theories like imposi imposii imposing martial law. he called the secretary of state 18 times. his energy is so fixed on remaining president he returned from florida early because he wasn't in the mood to celebrate new years eve around people who see him as a loser. no such energy applied to fighting a pandemic that killed 350,000 people in america. on his watch.

joining me now democratic senator of hawaii. senator, it is remarkable to watch the -- to listen to the president for an hour attempt to bully the secretary of state of georgia the republican secretary of state to say i need the votes. i need 11,000 votes. that specific number. what did you make of the call? >> it's cheating. i know senators and lawyers have a tendency to want to dress up what's happening and legal terms. we need to be as clear as possible this is an attempt to subvert the election itself. this isn't just jawboning or improper or alarming or block buster phone call. this is a guy saying cough up 11,000 votes because that's the number that would cause georgia to flip. it's cheating. it's consistent with what happened to at least some significant portion of the

republican party on wednesday they are going to try to cheat and subvert the election by throwing the whole presidential election to the national legislature and just deciding because they don't like the result to throw it to trump. he set the example for cheating and at least 140 republicans on the house side are following his example. >> right. you have about a dozen senators that are going along with it. even before that, senator lindsey graham who is not joined in the jim crow effort to negate the votes of african-american voters in cities where they don't like the out come. lindsey graham of south carolina had himself trying to pressure georgia officials to change the election. he had been here before. in november he accused trump south carolina senator of improperly exhorting him to

meddle in the election. graham denied it. he asked us to throw out legally cast ballots. so after that call, we decided to do this. on the 19th or 18th attempt that the president made to get in touch with him. we have to tape this to protect ourselves. what do you make of the efforts of people like graham and others whether they are part of the dozen or not to essentially wipe out the votes? particular people of color. >> this is i think this is the point that stacey abrams made when she first lost the governor's race in georgia. and the thing that she's been trying to remedy since that loss which is to say that donald trurp is the tip of the spear and the most gross about it and careless about it. and explicit about it. it's the expressed policy of the republican party to limit the vote. manipulate the vote and where

possible, to over turn the popular vote. and this is different because this is an exapplication request for 12,000 votes. which is different than objectional. it's a political party that doesn't think they can compete on the merit. they know that in a free afair election where all the votes are counted and equal access to the franchise. they won't be in power anymore. they are trying to manipulate the system. sometimes they are legal. sometimes they are through statutes and rules and sometimes they are tin pot dictator style. like we heard on the tape. >> or jim crow style. the last question, you serve with the teem. cob tweeted out imagine if, what

would these same senators be doing and saying if hillary clinton made this kind of ask. after losing reelection had she been president. what do you think? how fast would they be impeaching her. >> heads would explode. and rightly so. the difference between our political party and there are some people on the left who disagree with the way we approach this, if clinton did this or joe biden did this, democrats would be freaking out too. you'd have a bipartisan repudiation of that behavior. that is one of the differences between the two political parties. you have political parties that are not just divided in terms of left right ideology. the view about the size and scope of government or climate. or social issues. you have one party that is committed to the rule of law. and the democratic principles

that under lie the republic. and another party rapidly moving towards authoritarianism. that's an unfortunate circumstance and it's possible we will come through this period during the biden presidency and we will look at this in the rearview mirror. we have to look carefully at the possibility this is just part of the long term project to disenfranchise the more than people from government. american people from government. >> excellent point. thank you for spending time with us. we appreciate you. joining us now. former acting solicitor general and former chairman of the rnc. to the point the senator made, i guess i'll start with you on this, michael. even the people that are opposing doing this, republicans, are sort of admitting in a sense that we can't really win the popular vote. we don't often win the popular vote. they objection the tom cottons

of the world and jim crow friends are doing in planning to do to over turn the election, is not the out come they would get. it would destroy the electoral college and ruin their only way of winning the white house. there doesn't seem to be a great love of democracy at all on the republican side. even those who oppose what their colleagues are doing on wednesday. >> i think it kind of remind me of the situation when something is so blatant you have to say something. you try to find i can i have to say something. what can i say. the behavior has its own pattern. it's not like this is the first time the senators and in congressmen and women are confronting this type of behavior from the president. we had it spelled out during the impeachment hearing and during the mueller investigation. we have had it spelled out in every day settings.

here they are now having to confront the pin ultimate to the constitutional norm and certainly the rule of law. which everyone seems to as pous. they have to say something. maybe this is the bridge too far. maybe it's something that leaves them queasy in the stomach. it doesn't boil down to the question of whether or not we'll win this or that vote again. it's how do i stay slightly ahead of the curve that's going in the wrong direction to try to fall off the cliff sooner rather than later. that's for me -- there are other times they could have said something is my point. could have done something. i appreciate the out rage, but it's a little bit late. >> i 100% agree. you brought up impeachment.

schiff was warning us about this. >> he has not changed. he will not change. he has made that clear himself without self-awareness or hesitation. a man without character or ethical compass will never find his way. he has done it before. he will do it again. what are the odds if left in office he will continue trying to cheat? i will tell you. 100%. he will continue to trying to cheat in the election until he succeeds. then what shall you say? >> chances he will continue to try to cheat. 100%. now we see that not only did he we get caught on tape trying to do it in georgia. before that he summoned michigan leader to an extraordinary meeting. trying to get them to flip

elections. and georgia governor to pressure him to over turn the win. we talked about lindsey graham jumping in. make trump win. pennsylvania house speaker asked by trump to over turn the loss in pennsylvania. in arizona. governor confirmed trump was on the line when he ignored a phone call from him. which he presumably was trying to do the sail thing. over and over he attempted to steal the election that he lost. you have said he should be impeached again. is that practical? is that the only thing that can be done. obviously he can't be stopped. >> it's a beautiful summary of the issue. with ukraine, donald trump tried to cheat with a foreign power to win his reelection. and get dirt on joe biden. now he's trying to do the same thing domestically. and the georgia tape is the most startling evidence of it. as you say, there's evidence of it over and over again. today in the "new york times" i wrote a piece that said i

thought he shoup impeached. i think that. he should be everyone if you can't get it done in the next two weeks. disqualify him from future office holding. the last thing is think about donald trump after 16 days from now. one realistic thing is regardless of impeachment, criminal investigation has to be on the table. both at the federal and state level. federal and state law prohibit election interference and prohibit the solicitation of it. asking someone to commit a crime. with respect to the federal investigation, something very interesting happened today. the top federal prosecutor in atlanta just resigned suddenly. the justice department lawyer not expected to resign. nobody knows what's going on. an ordinary normal justice department would have opened an investigation today in the tape

that trump potential solicitation of crime. and calls from georgia officials to open both the state investigation as well as an investigation in full ton county. what trump is doing it's about race. it always is african-americans disenfranchised. it's important that full ton county specific lif which houses a large number of african-americans does investigate this. there's a racial component to this. >> he specifically targeting black voters. the jim crow caucus. this is donald trump he asked for and seemed to be threatening was criminal -- go after the georgia officials criminally. let's listen.

>> the ballots are corrupt. you'll find they are -- which is totally illegal. it's more illegal for you than them. you know what they did and you're not reporting it. that's a criminal offense. >> very quickly. is that extortion? >> it sound like it. abuse of power. the president saying you better do this. otherwise i'll investigate you criminally. that's what adam schiff was warning about in the impeachment proceedings. >> do you think the biden justice department should pursue this? >> i think something like this. we have such glaring evidence -- should come under consideration. i don't think the white house needs to put fingerprints all over it. justice department should as one of the open matters before it, take a look at exactly what happened in the last six weeks of this effort.

>> i think we are agreed. thank you very much. we will talk more about trumps desperate and potentially illegal phone call to georgia. with warnock when he joins many later. up next, trumps coconspirators. claims that republican victories on the exact same ballots -- those are perfectly legit. the presidential medal of freedom. once awarded to giants like martin luther king, jr., now it's another shabby trump trinket given to devin news and jim jordan. ♪ these days you need more than an education. so that's what we give you. introducing career services for life. learn more at phoenix.edu

of election. he already had a dozen coconspirators from the united states senate joining? crimes against democracy. planning to dispute an election where their own names were on the ballot. the unelected senator from the state he tried to shake down. became lucky number 13. right on brand. loeffler joined the jim crow kau sus. led by missouri and texas. the republican senators who made it clear they don't believe that votes cast by black voters should count or should be allowed to determine the out come of the presidential election. so, on wednesday they will try to over turn the joe biden win in the electoral college and object to the trump loss. trying to get the election decided by a few dozen senators and congressman. not the american people. federalism that is. a handful of republicans have come out against the dirty dozen plan.

after four years of fealty to trump. including mitt romney. and his 2012 running mate. former house speaker paul slash the taxes of the rich ryan. ten the ten living former defense secretaries from both parties including two of trumps and of all people former vice president kick cheny. warned against using the military to endulg the coup dreams. efforts to involve the u.s. armed forces to decide election disputes would be unconstitutional territory. stewart stevens coined the term the jim crow kcaucus this weekend. it's accurate. what these 13 senators seem to be saying and trump with his

full ton county stuff is saying that anywhere that black voters were the deciding factor or n - non-white voter. that's invalid. when we get elected it's invad. but invalid when black voters have sway over the president. am i getting that wrong? >> nope. infortunately that's spot on. the history is important here as well. it's important not just for black americans who by the way are americans and we deserve the same and equal rights as any other americans. this is important because in this country and the united states, you can tell a lot about the state of the democracy. based upon the citizen ship or lack thereof of black americans. that is to say that the state of what happens to black americans will later happen to other americans. you're kidding yourself if you think that because you're not black that this is an attack

just on some other people. this is an attack on everyone's citizen ship. and the citizen ship of any american. it's an attack on the citizen ship of every american. i think that is really important here. and so when you pull back and d think about the civil rights movement. we're taught to discuss it in school. really it's a movement for democracy. it's a movement to become a fuller american project in a country that is more fully democratic. and so what we see is that when we have the movement for civil rights for black americans and for other americans. women and native americans. that actually expands the rights and the freedoms for every single person in this country. and so this is really an attack on all of us. we shouldn't lose sight of that. >> 100%. if you're one of the 40% of white americans who voted for

joe biden. your votes don't count. when you saw the election official in georgia just really full my nating and say don't disenfranchise yourself. the panic over losing the right stro to vote is spreading. it's fascinating to watch. i want to ask you specifically, about the extent to which the jim crow caucus members played themselves. that i jumped up front before donald trump openly commits the potential felony. and now they are stuck. they are grafted onto him. listen to ted cruz. one of them who is pushing to the front in front of josh holly. saying i led this. here's ted cruz. back in 2016. after he won iowa and trump didn't. >> donald trump guaranteed a victory in iowa. and then he lost. and he doesn't like that.

his reaction is that he breaks down. when he loses, is he blames everybody else. it's never his fault. it's always somebody els fault and an insult. >> i'm not in habit of supporting people who attack my wife and attack my father. that pledge was not a blanket commitment that if you go and slander and attack her, that i will come like a puppy dog and say thank you very much. >> she should feed him dinner in a bowl. he is a puppy. feed it on a floor in a bowl. this dude they played themselves. ted cruz. look at him. he's a punchable. he's not trump. they think they can reproduce the act that made him 40 years of fame. and being famous. and seen as a sort of macho figure. that ain't donald trump. i'm shocked they think they can

become the next trump on this act. >> i'm shocked they would want to be the next donald trump. in any way or capacity. when you look at that -- >> they see him exercising power. i'm not shocked they want to. they want the power. does that guy think he can replicate trumps act and be trump? >> i think they i don't know if they believe that. they don't know what else to do with them themselves after four years of fealty with trump. in 2016 to where you are now. you are trumps lap dog. he yells jump you yell how high. it's a race to the bottom at this point. the funny thing is when you look at every relationship trump has ha. jeff sessions who embarrassed himself. bill barr who is embarrassed hils. mitch mcconnell. the story ends the same way. donald trump attacking them and

embarrassing them and trying to humiliate them. and the people are left with the tatters of what used to be their reputation. and i don't understand why all of the people ted cruz went to harvard. he should be smart enough to know the story ends with trump turning on cruz. when you go after a man's wife and father. you have demonstrated there's no low you aren't willing to sink too. he knows this better than anybody having experienced the attacks with his wife. here he is rolling over to trump trying to claim the mantle of trumpism. trump only cares about himself and the only people he would ever consider supporting outside of himself are name sake, children, and anybody like jared and trump jr. the people will be left holding the bag not getting what they think they want from trump anyway and will look like fools like cruz does now. >> if they think the trump base

will look at ted cruz and see the big dog like donald trump. and not the guy in the arms of the angels commercial. they are that kipd of dog. abused dog that's been mistreated. i want to sing the arms of an angel when i see them. other than hail to the chief. they'll never been trump. anyway. we'll let him try. bless their hearts. thank you both very much. still ahead, in the arms of the angel. that's what they're singing to you. trump's decision to award two of the most lick spit congressional allies with the nations highest civil honor on the way out of the office has us asking what the duck? introducing voltaren as pain gel. the first full prescription strength non-steroidal anti-inflammatory gel... available over the counter.

the presidential medal of freedom widely considered the country's highest civilian honor. that's why it's typically reserved for the most esteemed luminaries in respected fields. specifically individuals who made exceptional contributions to the security or national interest of american. to world peace, or cultural or other significant public or private endeavors. among the first recipients. the african-american vocalist who took a stand against racial segregation with her 1939 concert at the lincoln memorial. awarded to the crew of the apollo 11 mission. astronauts who risked their lives to walk on the moon. holocaust survivor and author. for defending human rights. and president clinton awarded to rosa parks for her contribution in the fight nor civil rights. george bush honored fred rogers.

host of the children's tv show. and president obama awarded to congressman john lewis. for his relentless pursuit of racial justice. those all represent the very best of humanity. trump broke that tradition last year giving the medal to right wing radio host. rush limbaugh. now in the closing weeks of his lame duck presidency. he is again made a mockery of the esteemed distinction. when we heard who trump has decided to honor we had to ask what the duck? trump is giving the medal of freedom to devin news and jim jordan. clearly not awarding them for contributions to the country or humanity. rewarding them for the loyalty to him.

especially during the russia probe and impeachment inquiry. the same nunes who tried to launder intelligence for trump. and who sued twitter. over being mocked by a fake cow. remember that? the cow won. there's jim jordan. carried trumps water more vocally and loudly than anyone in congress. while he's best known for the impeachment hearing. badgering witnesses makes mcar look like mr. mcgoo. >> that is not accurate. >> is it. we have caught you hiding information. >> allow the witness to answer. >> the protests don't increase the spread of the virus? >> you're putting words in my mouth. >> i want an answer to the question. >> i'll get to you.

trump is taking his unhinged election rant to northwest georgia tonight where he'll be joined by georgia senator loeffler. who is in the middle of a campaign against her democratic

opponent reverend raphael warnock. republicans hope that trump will urge supporters to gt out and vote in tomorrow eers run off election. but since it's trump and he's got the attention span of a squirrel. he is already indicated that he will spend much of the time airing personal grievances about the election he lost. like he did on the phone with secretary of state. 3 million already voted in the run off already. and in cob county hundreds of people lined up on new years eve. according to target smart voting data. roughly 115,000 new voters have voted early. 40% of the surge voters are black. president-elect joe biden joined jon ossoff and raphael warnock earlier today. vice president-elect kamala harris was in georgia yesterday looking to boost turn out in the reverend's hometown. democratic candidate joins me

now. i want to start by getting your reaction to kelly loeffler. tweeting out her statement not long ago saying she too would essential le vote to invalidate the election results in multiple states presumably your state and her state of georgia. your thoughts? >> thanks so much. good to be here with you. listen, this is very disappointing. it's not at all surprising. the one good thing i can say about my opponent is she is consistent. she's consistently putting her own interest above the people she's supposed to be representing. and so, it's quite a development to be sure. but, for weeks we have been calling on loeffler to stand up for the people of georgia. to hon nour the voices of the people she wants to represent. honoring tha honoring their votes. and she's consistently refused to do that.

and while this is disappointing it's surprising. georgia needs a senator not a sycophant. they need someone who understands that their job is to represent the people. kelly efrl is the unelected senator of georgia. in just a few hours the people of georgia will stand up and correct that. she was appointed. they have been deeply disappointed. and i'm inspired by the movement that we're feeling on the ground in georgia. >> i will note that in an interview the other day, loeffler did refuse to even address the call -- the potentially criminal call that the president made to the secretary of state in georgia. in which he demanded he find him 11,780 votes. i want to ask you about that call. i'll play it. this is donald trump saying that if the secretary of state wouldn't find him the votes it

will depress voter turn out. take a listen. >> the people of georgia know this was a scam. and because of what you have done to the president people aren't going out to vote. republicans are going to vote negative. because they hate what you did to the president. okay? they hate it. >> one of the things you have seen is in some counties including the county where he'll have a rally tonight, that was the lowest turn out county in the state. in november. at 29%. what do you think all of this news about loeffler saying she'll vote to disenfranchise voters and the president trying to muscle the secretary of state. in your mind has that impacted turn out? one way or the other. >> wooe seeing record voter turn out in georgia. 3 million have voted. and i think we're going to see a strong turn out tomorrow. i have been moving across the

state. i was in albany. folks are standing out in the rain. at the rallies that we have been having. and i think these politicians are unfortunately focussed on themselves. we saw or heard the phone call from donald trump and what i'm saying to the people of georgia is pay no attention to him. he's on his way out the door whether he recognizes it or not. we saw the senator from south carolina call over here if a few weeks ago. these folks meddle in georgia elections the state of texas, and we have an unelected senator who obviously doesn't believe in the voices of the people she's supposed to be representing. so the people of georgia have an opportunity to fix that tomorrow. and they'll do it. i'm telling everybody watching, if you have already voted thank you so much for exercising your

civic duty and your right as a citizen. you have to get on the phone. call everybody you know. text everybody. and the way to fix this is to give loeffler the same fate. send her home. we need a senator. fire her. hire something who will be thinking about the people of georgia. >> i see you tweeted tyler perry. he was looking for information to make sure he can get out to vote. you are talking with constituents. i was on a call this weekend they were expressing concern about the attacks on you and the black church more broadly. is that getting more african-americans interested in voting? being attacked. having trump attack the black voters in the county. >> i don't think it bodes well at all. i think people take function to this. listen, loeffler has been running the most negative

campaign. in the history of georgia. she's desperate. she doesn't have a case to make. for why he should remain in the office. she's been trying to misrepresent me and misrepresent my record. she came to my church. she sat there in the pulpit. and talked about how honored she was to be there. now she's in this race against me, apparently she's forgotten about that. it doesn't matter. i'm focussed on the folks in georgia. they are wondering when they'll get covid are are leaf. she could stood up for them this week the $2,000 stimulus check. she could have been pushing mcconnell to put it up for a vote. she missed a vote friday. which would have given aid to military families. we need a senator. i'm honored to be running at this time. and i think we'll correct all of this. tomorrow. >> reverend raphael warnock,

good luck to you sir. thank you for spending time with us on election eve. up next, georgia republican senator perdue says this whole episode is disgusting and he's not talking about trumps attempt to over turn the election. no, no, no. he's upset we can hear trump making the outrageous requests for ourselves. stay with us. if your child doesn't seem themself at times, they may not be hydrated enough. ♪ ♪ plant-powered creative roots gives kids the hydration they need, with the fruit flavors they love. and one gram of sugar. find creative roots in the kids' juice while.

so much is on the line in tomorrow's runoff election in georgia and trump's rantings are not helping. senator david perdue has refused to criticize his desperate phone call to the secretary of state. in fact he attacked the senator for recording the conversation. >> to have a statewide elected official to tape without disclosing a private

conversation with the president of the united states and then leaking it to the press is disgusting. but i didn't hear anything in that tape the president hasn't already said for weeks now since the november election. >> how dare you catch donald trump cheating. joining me, first i want to go to you, jason. i'm surprised you're not fully in your ppe because i know you're in georgia. how is all this playing down there? i mean, the phone call, perdue saying how dare you, you know, release the phone call. kelly loeffler saying -- all of it. how's it playing? >> it's on every radio station. it's on the looks of every person i've spoken to, every restaurant, everything. it's actually something people are consistently talking about. the problem is i don't know if it's changing anyone's mind but it is what everybody down here is talking about.

i think the one impact that i'm hearing is that you have that small sliver, and this is going to be a really, really close election. but you have republicans who aren't maga in georgia, in suburban columbus, in suburban georgia and they're sick of it. donald trump's behavior and perdue's defense on it has offended a small sliver of republicans and they may decide they don't care about voting tomorrow -- find themselves in favor of people who are committing treason either. >> she's now come out and said, yes, i'm going to vote to basically disenfranchise my own state. and i wonder just if in your reporting how is that playing?

perdue is saying he would support it, too, but he can't vote since he's technically out of office at the moment. >> right. but, look, joy, for david perdue focusing more that president trump was recorded than the actual contents of that recording and kelly loeffler coming out hours before president trump was going to touch down and give that rally, kelly loeffler is someone who was appointed by governor brian kemp when he was a trump ally. now of course the governor is a trump target so she can't side with governor kemp. she has to side with president trump because both of them know they don't just need georgia republicans to come out and vote for them tomorrow. they need trump republicans to come out and vote for them tomorrow. and those are not necessarily the same basket of voters, and i think that's also what you saw when you saw gabriel sterling get up and give the press conference today in georgia, really making a full throated endorsement of voter participation. something you don't hear as someone who's covered georgia

republicans for a long time when i covered the legislature really saying everybody's vote should count, and if you believe the election was stolen you should come out tomorrow as a way to push back against that. show just how concerned republicans are that the president's messages of disinformation about a rigged election he lost could be having an impact on the republican voters that are largely going to be casting their ballots on election day tomorrow. >> yeah, they're like don't disenfranchise ourselves. it's very interesting to watch it turn around. you know, jason, i wonder, too, whether or not donald trump sort of counter messaging against his own party and the fact kelly loeffler is a brian kemp appointee, could it be what trump is doing winds up costing those two republicans their seats? >> joy, i think it will. i mean, here's the thing, i

don't think people realize like how much this is the primary focus of republicans down here. and there are no heroes. there's no good cop. they're all bad cops. everybody here is terrible. kelly loeffler is supporting donald trump in his coup attempt. perdue is supporting donald trump in his coup attempt. the secretary of state has been a vote suppresser. so it has frustrated a lot of the republicans down here. now, the democrats and the organizers are like y'all keep going on and having that inside family fight, we're going to try to get people out to vote. -- because they can't find anyone they want to side with. who wants to support trump who wants to disenfranchise your state? who wants to support perdue who can't -- who made money during the pandemic? none of these people are inne

enthusiastically being supported and that's what we're seeing right now. >> the one group of people that seem to be staying motivated are black voters. wish we had more time. that is tonight's reid out. thank you all for joining us. all in with chris hayes starts now. tonight on "all in" trump goes down to georgia looking for an election to steal. >> so what are we going to do here, folk ss? i only need 11,000 votes. >> 16 days from the inauguration of president biden and president trump won't let go. >> we won three times here. >> tonight calls for a criminal investigation of the president, seditious activity of a lame duck loser and a caucus of republicans ready to hold a gun to the head of american
