i can't get on the court and let al gore pick my successor. al gore, what did al gore do?that night at al gore. that's going do define his career as an extraordinary patriot who upheld madisonian democracy. who upheld the ideals that this country was founded on. where our mettle is really tested, our constitutional mettle is tested after elections. not what the winner does, but what the loser does. and al gore, what a shining example for all americans, even when you feel like you were done wrong, the presidency was stolen from you. millions of americans believed it. al gore gave one of the most patriotic speeches i've ever seen in my life. >> unquestionably. he's done it ever since. that's the other thing, right. in the 21 years he's conducted himself with grace. a belief in a system that is flawed, but it is still worth defending. we have to work to reform it. we have to work to amend it, all of that. but absolutely. it's one of the great moments of grace under pressure which was -- one day i think hemmingway described that as courage. bush was impressed by that speech. h

we saw al gore accept an election. we saw richard nixon in a controversial decision to accepted results of a decision because that was part of the american fabric. the inability for people to see the facts, people that see this and say there was no violence and i see republican leaders looking the other way trying to make excuses, it's a thirst for power on their behalf and for the public, it's almost cult-like for some of the people out there in the public. i heard some of the interviews earlier today, people saying well trump would never do this. there was no violence. that is being disengaged from reality and no matter what we tell them, they won't accept it because if you're in a cult and start to distinguish yourself or disagree, they try to ex-communicate you. i'm not saying this is a cult but cult-likish. within some members of the republican party. it's so serious. >> do you think it's -- you said a thirst for power. is it even more sinister than that or i don't know if sinister is the right way. there is a som

he's still 2 decades before george w bush was making fun of al gore for acting like climate change was real. also in 1980. the american petroleum institute publishes to energy futures, a policy booklet that advocates expand in coal, oil and gas production for decades in the whole book, but they don't mention their understanding of the harms of climate change. so there's marks the 1st known public climate dis information, then in 1981. exxon concludes a c o 2 study and internally says in direct control measures such as energy conservation or shifting to renewable sources represent the only options that might make sense. yet even as they're saying that internally in their own goddamn offices outside, they're telling everyone else. it's fine. what are you talking about? he plan it now. don't look down. no, it's not 80 degrees in february, and it's called burger. i'm cold. i need, i need to find my scar. no, no, no, i'm not sweating profusely. no, those are face. i do face sickle and drippy jiffy phaser goes. it's got a quick break, but i'll be right back with the rest of the best redacted

bush when you beat -- i would never forget watching on that floor and watching al gore say i lost thed asking congresswoman waters not to challenge it. we should not wash it over. and i think we separate some of the things that you guys have raised. but there was an effort to subvert the two most important things which is to declare war and confer an election on the new president, which is the way that we peacefully transfer power. i hope one day we can forget this day, but i don't think we have gotten there. >> dana: there were a lot of people that were injured, you can watch the coverage with your own eyes, we have seen it, and i will give you the last word today on the a block. >> dagen: i don't know if biden and company are the smart, but it seems to be the speeches by kamala harris and biden seem to be strategic. the only chance that they have a pertaining the white house is if donald trump runs again. biden did not win in 2020, it was trump that lost for him. so it seems like an effort to goad him into running again and to poke the bear so to speak, because that's their best sho

seems almost 15-years-old at this point and was written at a time period in which vice presidentod al gore lost a contentious election to the suprement court and followed the decision with a concession speech that effectively said i don't like the decision that was made, but i'm willing to accept it and i'm going to encourage folks to accept it and as i read through the book, they seemed to take the united states ability to handle loss for granted and things might have changed in that time period. in the paper that we have available i noted that there had been a vicious cycle if you look at and even like january 6th, it's i not an isolated incident but it took a series of steps along the way to get there and not necessarily to draw equivalencies but conversations over whether or not the candidates will whether it was donald trump developed as a candidate, hillary clinton making claims that the russians were responsible and perhaps the trump election wasn't legitimate and in the midterm we saw the gubernatorial candidate refuse to concede. much of this kind of paves the way for continued wi

how about al gore? he could have driven this thing into the ground. he was a bigger man.on. there was a question about that election. he said i'll put the country first. our leaders are not putting the country first. not all of them but too many of them. too many of them are not putting the country first because they want to be in charge and want to have the power and for what? i really don't know. >> john kasich, that's a good question. i don't either. thank you, john. >> don lemon, thank you. >> happy new year to you and your family, thanks. >> new video released on the insurrection almost a year after it happened. we'll look at that video next and talk to the officers shown in it being attacked. nyquil severe gives you powerful relief for your worst cold and flu symptoms, on sunday night and every night. nyquil severe. the nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy head, best sleep with a cold, medicine. new vicks convenience pack. dayquil severe for you... and daily vicks super c for me. vicks super c is a daily supplement with vitamin c and b vitamins t

al gore won florida 2,000. and another, we really inaugurate the wrong guy. the same media mob want you to believe if you question and election results, that is treason. liz cheney is partnered with the very people that thought her vice president father is not legitimately elected and on top of that a crook, war criminal, liar, and a murderer. now, democrats want to distract from the country, you know, biden's failures as president and exploit the one riot last year to end the filibuster and pass the... radical election form. it is not election form but to banff for i.d. and to watch the vote count. mechanisms for ballots. and some of the democrats even want illegal immigrants to have the right to vote. in other words, they wanted to be easy to harvest ballots. and in some cases get illegal to vote at the polls. and never let a good crisis go to waste. january 6th is not the somber day for them they are acting like. sadly, they are exploiting this as a political opportunity. otherwise, nancy pelosi, mayor bowser would be called in and write would be question.

al gore talks about his hopes and fears for our planet. >> at the top of the film you say i have been trying to tell this story for a long time and i feel as if i have failed to get the message across. do you now feel like you have succeeded? >> i have not succeeded yet. the crisis is getting worse faster than we are deploying solutions. there is a remaining question about whether we will >>> checking out the view from our camera on top of mount diablo, a great tool to get an overview of what fog might look like for inland east bay communities and happy to report we are doing fine over here. another one is to look from the top of the camera that's on the top of sutro tower. that one trained on the golden gate bridge is another way to scan and overview here. no fog issues. visibility map shows us for santa rosa, visibility is down to a half mile which tells us you will want to give yourself extra time in the north bay valleys. on the flip side you are not in the 30s. everybody is holding on to the 40s. it's a little warmer than yesterday. i will be back with the whole forecast in a few

you think al gore? wanted to be sitting there. 2001 at george w. bush's inaugural you know anything george bush 41. want to be sitting there at bill clinton's inaugural? i am confident. would have rather have had elective root canal. they've been sitting there, but they went and not only did they go they welcomed. the victor to the white house and said this is the way we do it in this country. it's a peaceful transfer of power. where the vanquished? congratulate the victor. and we leave with grace and dignity. he didn't do any of that. and i think it's diminished him. and it diminished our country in the process. you can still say i don't think it's fair outgore fought like crazy against george w bush for 34 days in court all the way the us supreme court. but with the us supreme court ruled even though al gore lost five to four. he didn't say hello that i'm not listening to the supreme court, and i'm not moving out of the naval observatory. i'm staying. i'm still the vice president. you know, he could see it. he went out he welcomed. bush to the na

we saw al gore concede the election to george bush.richard nixon concede the election to kennedy when there were many questions because they put the country first. now we live in the environment it's all about me and anybody else who doesn't think the way i do they're terrible. i'm going to get about hating them and that is where we have got a real problem. >> yeah. >> so all of us who are the majority of people in this country have got to patiently explain we cannot lose our country by this kind of -- this kind of nonsense. it's beyond nonsense, it's terrible situation. >> the night of january 6th, more than a hundred lawmakers decertified the election. the few willing to speak out publicly, the ten for instance who voted to impeach the president and others are basically forced out of the party or being primaried. many are walking away. you're headed towards the point where this is the litmus test, right, it's a test for membership in the republican party. where do we stand at that point? >> you know, look, jim, i fought the guy the w

my advice to al gore is you keep fighting. >> you can run the best campaign.n become the nominee, and you can have the election stolen from you. >> concession means to say that the process was fair. i am complicit if i say that that system is fair. >> that was the governor of georgia, she thinks she is. and that was hillary clinton in 2019 three years later it never ends. as for joe, don't worry about him. his team did even more damage control. >> he absolutely cannot predicting that the 2022 elections would be illegitimate. the point he was making is that the former president asked a number of states, seven or more, in fact, to overturn the outcome of the election. now, obviously, if there is an effort to do that we have got to fight against that. that's what our commitment is to doing. everything you can people's rights. >> but the damage is already done. joe's team can't clean up this mess anymore. he and vice president giggles have already said what they really believe. and america heard them loud and clear. the first time, the second time and the third ti

it was written in a time period in which vice president al gore lost a contentious election, it went to the supreme court, and followed up the supreme court's decision with a concession speech that effectively said i don't like the decision that was made, but i'm willing to accept it, i'm going to encourage folks to accept it for the stability of our country. as i read through the book, it seemed to take the united states ability to handle loss for granted. think might have changed in that time period. in the paper we have available on our street.org, i noted there has been a bit of a vicious cycle that has happened. if you look at an event like january 6, it's not an isolated incident, it took a series of steps along the way to get there. not to necessarily draw equivalencies, but we've had conversations over whether or not presidential candidates will accept the outcome of the election for four or five years in advance of the 2020 election, whether that was donald trump himself as a candidate, hillary clinton even following the election making claims that the russians were responsi

bush versus al gore. that of course, came down to the state of florida. and of paper thin 500 voting majority for bush. in its wake, the u.s. commission and conducted an election process and found, quote, a widespread voter disenfranchisement that fell harshly of black voters. they concluded that statewide, black voters were nearly ten times more likely than non black voters to have their ballot rejected. there were multiple issues that contributed to this. but one of the most significant was a purge of tens of thousands of alleged felons from the voting roles ahead of that election. the commission found that black voters were placed on purge list more often and more earnestly than hispanic. that's all call this was right with an error rate of at least 14%. and they noted that black voters were disproportionately affected because there are disproportionately charged, convicted and charged in the criminal justice system. another five to the commission identifying with the police presence in and around florida polling places on election day. for example, tr

al gore of the state of tennessee has received 266 votes.s a reason those objections made news at the time. they were unusual, controversial. there's also a reason you probably don't remember those objections happening, and that's because what hawley and his pals did is different. more than a symbolic protest. they objected to the certification of electoral votes after an attack on the capitol. and at the same time that the sitting president was refusing to concede. after the 2000 election bill clinton welcomed the bushes for the perfunctory visit that a president-elect makes to the white house. after 2016 the obamas welcomed the trumps for that perfunctory visit. after the 2020 election -- nada. right? there's no video because it didn't happen. in fact, in 2020 the sitting president and his allies were concocting a far-fetched but earnest plan to overturn the presidential election, laid out on paper in the eastman memo. >> the plan was simply this. we had over 100 congressmen and senators on capitol hill ready to implement the sweep. the sw

they still think al gore won the popular vote in florida. he never won one single recount. democrats still believe that they still think vladimir putin was given donald trump back rubs and they colluded to win the 2016 election and that hillary should be president. stacey abrams thinks she is run for reelections as governor of georgia. so, you know, forgive me the holler outrage when republicans say hey, you know what? , suppress that hunter biden story, it's super weird before the election and wouldn't change people's outcomes based on polling, we are going to ask some questions and then you guys screaming and yelling at us. how dare you question elections. we are going to reserve all of that for joe biden today. we are only going to let him question elections. >> pete: it's amazing not to mention it's so true. did you go down the entire list. they build up a straw man of their opponents to demonize. and this was the guy who was going to unite us. we don't have time for the clip, dan, he went on to compliment -- attempt to compliment mitt romney which says a lot of things,
