kratz and donald trump he's a racist we hate you know the talking points look at what he's doing now joe biden you know if you want a black if he even black enough you know if you don't vote for me it's easier to focus on a target they do with a new line it's what they can do they understand of voters are actually not paying attention to the nuance nuance and they focus simply on i hate this person so i'm going to vote here is really that simple oh look aggressive actually progressive actually want action yet you know at the end if the mcchrystal to liver that's going to exacerbate i give it 24 months if even that good sign you know i get it i give it is that in the calendar year of 2021 i did. it i think because i'm sorry i didn't the buyer's remorse is this i mean particularly if trump throws his hat in on inauguration day oh no. i want to stick with you because there's a lot of progressive ideas as a conservative in like i said i believe in the realignment here i mean what are you guys going to do next ok because you know in the democratic party and the republican party to a great

swing states that we are talking about is very large and totally outcome determinative only bid them a kratz and some rhinos that's republicans in name only would there dispute this even though they know that it is true gabriel is under joins us live now from washington d.c. so gabe speed a couple of hours now since that phone call the recording that was released what's the reaction been like. well i think official washington is still very much in shock in many ways we have heard from several democrats prominent ones and everyone in between there we just heard from hank johnson he's a democrat representative from the state of georgia in congress and he is saying that he says president trump should in his words resign now and representative johnson also said that on monday he will put forth a resolution in congress to censure president donald trump what is that that's essentially a public reprimand that congress would vote on a sign of disapproval of the president's words and or actions that he said he will introduce that to congress on monday but clearly there's no legal ramifications to tha

all of this was creating capacity for the kleptocratic and theocrat kratz of the republican -- in chargeican guard of iran. they have reduced their ability to underwrite militias in iraq. it has become more costly for , with real sanctions on iranian activity taking place through the assad regime. we have diminished their to produce threats to people across the world. remember, i opposed the jcpoa vehemently when i was a member of congress. the iranians could start up their centrifuges anytime they wanted to. they made a promise that they wouldn't, but if they wanted to start the centrifuges up, in a snap they could. aey think they will have president coming into office again, they will raise their level of activity to a threat. unitedopeans and the states will enter into a countdown, one that presents them with an in norma's opportunity -- with an enormous opportunity. the people who have to live in close proximity to this islamic public of iran to understand that the approach of the trump administration with respect to iran was the right one, and that we ought not go back to the polici

i think the larger contingent is the tremendous distrust between emma kratz and republicans in the countryht now. there is a bigger group of people they ought to be concerned about, which is republicans who do not trust him, democratic party, do not trust the media. what can you do to lower the temperature in washington to bring people together? i think it will be very challenging. if i were him, i would be focused more on that group, let law enforcement take care of extremis who may commit violence. amanda: obviously, a few things that we expect to see soon from president biden. the state of the union will lay out his longer agenda. what do you think will be most important to watch in that address? what will be the things that he wants to hit most in this four- year term? andy: after he gives his state of the union address, we will probably have the stimulus round. the question for investors, anyone that cares about public policy from a broader standpoint, what is the longer-term agenda looking like? the second reconciliation bill that we expect. maybe the economic package. he laid out ab

the house will come to order the previous congress officially ended this past hour famine kratz kept control of the house of representatives in the november election and the balance of power of the senate is said to be decided by 2 special elections in georgia on tuesday and on wednesday a group of republican senators are planning to challenge the victory of president elect joe biden they plan to object when electoral college results are tallied in congress it's being seen as a largely symbolic gesture that is unlikely to overturn the result alan fisher is in atlanta georgia with the latest on those all important senate races but 1st let's go live to havre tennessee he's in washington d.c. so she had walk away expect from a new congress. that is a question that i think would be impossible to i think what we can expect today is a very long drawn out process because of covert on the pandemic what was usually a very fast of a fad with thousands of people on capitol hill and bars and restaurants around in the vicinity for parties and fundraisers is a rather subdued affair this time the n

republicans we love our country we love the country the way our founding fathers meant it to be them a kratz are not just that's an example to give you about how people look at each other these days i spoke to an activist on the black. lives matter a group well she said that people were shocked about what happened in capitol hill that people were saying that this is not american from her point of view this is very american it's an america that blacks and other minorities have lived through but that the white population did not see or experience before just these are examples of people gives you a feeling. each one is living in their own corner with their own reality all eyes on joe biden how he's going to heal that how he's going to bring about this common ground it's very complicated and many people don't believe he would be able to a lot of people said well just as the democrats said the president was not their president for the last 4 years well we're not going to consider joe biden our president for the next 4 years thank you very much let's just go back to the live pictures that we've b

those yet to be tabulated in counties going for emma kratz, more than 70%.ublic service commission, republican candidate right now, has more votes than both ossoff and purdue. >> 124 of the 100 59 counties are done counting. the outside counties, right? >> we will know tomorrow for sure. carrypublican party will 140 145 counties, just not the counties where most of the votes are. >> the counties where most of the votes are, a lot of black settlement decades ago, they say this is the area where we are talking hundreds of thousands of ossoff and purdue . when will we see these votes? >> typically we do not see these larger metro counties until between 10:00 at 11:00 p.m. we are seeing more because the ballot only has three races on it. the larger population centers in nine-county core metro are not in yet. if things are not looking different by 11:00, we may see more returns from this secondary population centers. , thosearing numbers are not close and those margins not close, and that will start to show up in the statewide count. haveke a look, i highlighted

what may well happen is the auto kratz roll over the vestable democrats as we go into the primaries ina candidates in general elections. over time, as the crazier candidates are picked off in the general elections, the power of this movement will shrink. but we are in for a long fight. it will not last weeks, months. it will last years, maybe decades. but the pro-democracy side can never, ever lose a presidential election again to the autocratic side. the power will never yield again in the country. that is the lesson of the trump presidency. and we are well past the hour where it is tolerable for people to be naive about what has been staring us in the face for five years. these people keep telling us who they are. and now they have done it with violence. and that violence included the ripping down of an american flag and the hoisting of the trump flag over it and the beating of a policeman with the american flag. it was an atrocious display of unamerican sentiment, the likes of which we have never seen in this country, at least not since the civil war. and even during the civil war,
