this is very much like al gore in 2000.hout love 36 days of hand-wringing in between. >> it is a tough thing to do to certify your own loss. it was a big hard-fought political battle. but not really close in the end. it is interesting that this day 4 years ago obviously january 6th and all that happened was a big part of the political campaign of vice president harris and talking about that and threat to democracy, she put out a video last night saying it was important that this goes smoothly, the transfer of power. we don't expect any opposition or raising of any problems with the electoral votes. this is history. this is a moment if you think about from four years ago where donald trump was on january 6th and january 7th, not only physically but politically. think about the resurrection from that point, that turnaround politically. we have never seen anything like it. four years later, the mahogany boxes with the electoral votes have been marched in and will go state-by-state and show how donald trump and j.d. vance won t

i never forgot it, mike pence said to al gore. you do not know how much that means, al gore said, coming from you. guest: it is terrific. thank you for sharing that with me. it speaks to a real truth about congress, which is that you do have these moments where members all the time rise above naked partisan self-interest and just play by the rules or do the right thing and when they do that you hope it rubs off on some other members. and that everybody can lift their game. there is nothing wrong with competing fiercely and disagreeing and debating, but the rules are the rules. for this representative government scheme to work, we all have to be willing to play by the rules. host: about 20 minutes left with kevin kosar this morning. this is ray in syracuse, republican. caller: a previous caller brought up what he thought the solution should be part of the solution on this january 6 issue , that the democrats should present the facts in front of congress and my first thought is they will never do that. the reason is because that wou

mike pence recently being quoted as talking about a conversation with al gore where al gore said i reallyr example. >> and this an extraordinary moment as the president-elect sitting next to barack obama. >> you think about in 2016 during the transition these two men barack obama, donald trump, two presidents had a bit of a chilly exchange. everyone was bewildered in the democratic party by trump's selection. there's former president george w. bush. >> who did not shake trump's hand. and the first lady, former first lady laura bush. >> but this is the way it's supposed to be. this is the way america operates. one president is elected and then another and they go on and move forward. >> remember melania trump went to the rosalynn carter's funeral. she represented the trumps there. while jimmy carter politically didn't care for donald trump, they did have a little bit of a personal relationship of talking about issues of the world from time to time. and once president trump visited with carter in new york. >> look how appropriately former president george w. bush stands to welcome the forme

and of course in 2000, al gore.he one thing i want to say is people are released -- really upset about january 6 four years ago. and tycho get how people are still wrapped up in this. i voted against president trump, but we've got to move on. the people that say that cops were waiting us, let's do a reality check. president donald trump by proclamation declared a national state of emergency for the covid pandemic. on january 5, the facility next the capitol called the visitors center, just like you screen when you get on an airplane. they were not paired to receive charges because the capital had been closed almost a year and all these people that came to washington including the late ashli babbitt, if they had done just what you would do if you had a reservation at a restaurant and just read the paper, you would have known the capital was closed. it's not open. they were trespassing. host: you do think we need to move on, what do you mean by that? caller: people believe the cops -- yeah, the cops were probably scar

al gore comes to mind certainly.oing nothing but her constitutional duty. that's what she said she will do. host: how about j.d. vance, still a member of the senate representing ohio, being in the chamber for the certification? guest: yes. and elevated during this process. from his senate seat to, well, at least being certified as vice president. of course the inauguration is january 20. much of the security you see around today will be replicated that day. host: and on top of what's happening today, tomorrow, president carter's body will be transferred to the capitol. really very unusual week historically because of these two big events happening on top of one another. what are your thoughts about both of those happenings simultaneously and what ha does to the law -- what that does to the lawmakers on capitol hill? guest: and the speaker election friday. ball of these things owe -- all of these things occurring just within days of each other and then the inauguration. very solemn here in some regards. this rotunda o

al gore and kamala harris. there is no greater profession the loss than the loss of a presidential campaign. there is nothing that you are on this earth, that you can compete for, and so it is no more difficult feet to bear, in politics defeat is one of the most important public tests of character. donald trump failed that test more miserably four years ago than any politician in american history. today the vice president of the united states, to the surprise of no one, handled it perfectly, with grace and dignity, and with a frequent smile. kamala harris was on this day in american history the personification of the return of the peaceful transfer of power. it was in her role as the top democrat in the senate rules committee, that senator amy klobuchar shared the duty with the new republican chair of the committee and republican and democratic members of the house, of reading the electoral vote tallies in individual states to the congress. four years ago, republican senators and republican members of the house

al gore comes to mind certainly. right now we see nothing -- her doing nothing but her constitutional duty. that's what she said she will do. host: how about j.d. vance, still a member of the senate representing ohio, being in the chamber for the certification? guest: yes. and elevated during this process. from his senate seat to, well, at least being certified as vice president. of course the inauguration is january 20. much of the security you see around today will be replicated that day. host: and on top of what's happening today, tomorrow, president carter's body will be transferred to the capitol. really very unusual week historically because of these two big events happening on top of one another. what are your thoughts about both of those happenings simultaneously and what ha does to the law -- what that does to the lawmakers on capitol hill? guest: and the speaker election friday. ball of these things owe -- all of these things occurring just within days of each other and then the inauguration. very solemn he

it was not al gore, obviously, it was george w. bush, and he had to preside over that, as the vice president of the united states. joe biden today in his op-ed said he will be there for the inauguration of donald trump, a man he believes is a danger to democracy, something donald trump did not do for him. how important are these very visual symbols of principle? >> well, you know, there was a moment in the letters of flannery o'connor, which is probably not where i thought i was going to start. >> it's not. >> in which mary mccarthy, the roman catholic writer is talking about how the mass, the eucharist is a wonderful symbol, and ms. o'connor rears up and says, well, if it's just a symbol, then to hell with it, tgs it's the center of existence for me. symbols only work when they are linked to substance. president biden being at the inauguration of president trump is a symbolic moment linked to a substantiative devotion to the constitution and to the american way of governance. and so president biden's being there is, as you mention

al gore of the state of tennessee has received 266 votes. may god bless our new president and our new vice president. >> donald j. trump of the state of florida has received 312 votes. kamala d. harris -- >> that is what it looks and sounds like and it is supposed to be orderly, peaceful, but also ceremonial. it is supposed to be in a sense boring and uneventful because it is supposed to be taken as a given no matter how great the debates within the democracy and through the campaigns are pursued and they could be about very big things. this he can be about life and death things. they can be about foreign wars and domestic rights and who is even an american. those are big debates and even when we've had big protests and sit-ins and civil disobedience and many other moments across history, we have never had that ceremonial day of january 6th turn into a violent failed iled insurrection or coup which is what makes date significant. the shadow hangs over this date because of what maga and their crime spree. >> we'll walk down to the capitol. >>

and i will tell you that i was told that al gore and kamala harris have spoken since the election.gine they have a lot in common. >> yeah, no question about it. and we expect today, dana, ÷÷democrats are not going to do what republicans did four years ago. remember, the republicans in the house and the senate objected to the electoral results. that was one big reason why that was blamed for all the expectation from the trump mob that trump inspired mob that they could overturn the electoral results. democrats are not expected to object to the electoral results, i'm told, by democratic sources. republicans themselves, too, are not expected to say much about everything that happened over the last four years. they're ready to move on and not remember what happened on january 6th, 2021. at the same time, dana, congress has already taken steps to make it harder to replicate what happened four years ago. remember that time, just one house member and one senator were enough to force a vote in the house and the senate to overturn the electoral results. this time in the aftermath of january

he was talking to al gore, the former vice president, at one point there he was, mr. gore's head on the left side of your screen. and anita mcbride, one of the things that's so remarkable when you live to be 100, you tend to outlive a lot of other people. and we're going to hear two eulogies today from individuals with whom president carter was close. one, his vice president, walter mondale, and the other the man he defeated for the presidency in 1976 and became a good personal friend of his former president, ford. and both mondale and ford wrote eulogies for jimmy carter. but jimmy carter outlived them. >> well, again, here we see this wonderful display. >> this church to house and to have these ceremonies was built specifically by the founders in mind to be a great place of national significance and to have people like former presidents be together and to honor each other. and it's interesting you said about the eulogy that president ford has left a letter at president ford's funeral. jimmy carter was not a eulogist. it was tom brokaw who was henry kissinger. it was

al gore comes to mind certainly. right now we see nothing -- her doing nothing but her constitutional duty. that's what she said she will do. host: how about j.d. vance, still a member of the senate representing ohio, being in the chamber for the certification? guest: yes. and elevated during this process. from his senate seat to, well, at least being certified as vice president. of course the inauguration is january 20. much of the security you see around today will be replicated that day. host: and on top of what's happening today, tomorrow, president carter's body will be transferred to the capitol. really very unusual week historically because of these two big events happening on top of one another. what are your thoughts about both of those happenings simultaneously and what ha does to the law -- what that does to the lawmakers on capitol hill? guest: and the speaker election friday. ball of these things owe -- all of these things occurring just within days of each other and then the inauguration. very solemn he

al gore did that, nixon did they have. what was that like to watch?> i will sing this earlier, in some ways today, showed january 6 was an unremarkable day to americans. it's -- for us to go through this business today. i hope americans can see this is how it should be for ever, as long as our democracy is here that january 6 should be that type of process. as you point out, there was something different about this and that was seeing vice president kamala harris overseeing this. i think what i took away is its representative of the peaceful transfer of power. which we failed as a nation to accomplish four years ago. i say that as someone who worked in diplomacy and i've been in failed countries around the world where they do not have that capacity. yes, i want january 6 to be unremarkable but in some ways it's because we take democracy for granite. we think the peaceful transfer of power is unremarkable because we assume we do it. after four years ago, something was different this time for me to be in the chamber and see the vice president take on th

. >> but also worth noting that we saw al gore do it in 2000, right? considering what happened in ÷÷2021, it simply wasn't, and one ÷÷of the things that we saw yesterday was a tweet from mike pence who of course, came under incredible pressure in 2021, but did his duty and he wrote this. i also commend the members of ÷÷the house senate and the vice president who did their duty under the constitution of the united states. it being particularly admirable that vice president harris would preside over the case of a presidential election that she lost. it shouldn't have to be noteworthy to point that out, but it is. >> if anything, that kind of defines the trump rae in era in broad strokes, that we have to make so much news that basic norms are being followed, but that's ÷÷essentially what played out yesterday, and what is remarkable, there's reporting that mike pence apparently told ÷÷al gore or at least took some inspiration from al gore when he was a member of the congress watching him perform this sort of duty where he had to announce to the world that

you can pence, al gore sitting there together and these are the kinds of moments and they're very rarerticularly in these times. but it is somewhat reassuring, isn't it, to see people from both sides of the aisle gathered. martha raddatz watching this with us here today as well. and, martha, these are these are the moments few and far between, but very important, particularly in these times. >> so important to see a j.d. vance and the president elect expected to be there as well in this moment, in this moment of division and polarization, as you say, david, in this country. but that was something that jimmy carter did so well, brought people together. and for so many, he has been a north star of being an honorable person, a dignified person, a caring person and an authentic person. i know that word is often overused now, but jimmy carter defined authenticity. he was a person who is more comfortable with himself than anyone i've ever met with, with his flaws, with his, with his graciousness. and he always looked you in the eye. i interviewed him a couple of times as a as a very young re

people like al gore and others, you know, upheld the constitution. we saw, you know -- so i'm really struck by the notion that kamala harris will be, you know, serving in that position thatthat pence did, and upheld the constitution. it's a marked reminder of how important this peaceful transfer of power is. we've had it through history. you know, i saw in 2000. we're seeing it today. but we didn't see it four years ago. i hope that this will remind everybody, but this is how it's supposed to work. >> one of the things we've heard from trump is he plans to pardon some of the people who were at the capitol that day. let's listen to what he said about this in december. take a look. >> you promised to pardon those who attacked the capitol on january 6th. are you still vowing to follow through with that promise? >> we're looking at it right now. most likely, yeah. these people are living in hell. >> let me just -- >> i think it is very unfair. >> but let me -- >> i'll do it very quickly. i'm going to be acting very quickly. >> within your first 100 days,

and i remember al gore going through that process of trying to get a recount. and i remember the supreme court stopping the count. 287 votes down, i think. and i remember al gore doing something extraordinary. he gave a concession speech. it is 100% appropriate to fight as long as you can. i have no problem with that. to go to the supreme court. i have no problem with that. but once the system makes it a determination you make the concession speech. the problem is not that donald trump kept fighting. the problem is that after you had 60 court votes -- he's never, to this day, has never given a concession speech. >> even when the violence was unfolding he said this election was stolen from us. he literally said that. >> that's not good. >> as officers were being beaten. the question of pardons has come up. and it's pretty clear from the reporting that trump is not just considering them but considering pretty sweeping pardons. one of the people looking for a pardon, asking the trump folks for it is enrique tario. he was sentenced to 22 years for seditious conspir

. >> al gore certify the election and he did not allow them to make the point of order and it was out of order. >> this is why we probably will not be able to move on. from january 6th. you are my friend, but i know you're smarter than that. i know you are smarter -- >> the country has moved on. everybody today that is having a meltdown has not moved on. >> we are not having a meltdown, we watch the vice president to her job just as we had to wait 14 hours but nonetheless watch mike pence to his job and just as we commended mike pence for having the courage to stand up to donald trump, it takes -- when people lose, with you are a child or adult, it is hard to lose and that is why you don't want to be a loser. >> that is why donald trump -- >> that is why we are here because you cannot be an adult and could not stand up and say, you know what , the country is bigger than me and the voters decided four years ago and today he still has not done it. to try to compare 2000 and 2004 , but that is not the same and -- i know deep down inside that you also know that what happened on january 6t

guest: one of the first one is that inconvenient truth that al gore talked about that there is a increasing price tag for the change of weather higher winds, more frequent hurricanes, tornados like wildfires in january. that is number one, climate change, insurance companies saw it coming many years ago. then making changes which includes raising rates saying we need to charge more because risk has increased. there is also inflation since the early covid era supply chain interruption that drove,the cost of materials, car parts, all they are asked to pay out on claims from customers. that is two. number three is the explosion in unregulated tech tools that insurance companies buy and use to run their operations. to decide who they want to insure and that is including aerial drone, ai. like shall has a credit score and that affects the interest rate when they borrow people have an insurance score based on their claim history and rick characteristics -- risk characteristics. now, instead of insuring a lot of risks more blindly the way at the used to they have tmi, too much information. they ca

there is vice president mike pence and vice president al gore.interesting moment that pence told gore that when he decided to follow the constitution and preside over the awarding of the electoral votes to joe biden back in january 2021, it was al gore who he took some inspiration from. al gore, who presided over the counting of the electoral votes in his own defeat. despite many members of the house objecting, and gore said to him, that means more to me than you can know. and anita mcbride, one of the things that's so remarkable about this is the presence of first families. and you told me just a minute ago that there are individuals there dating back to the family of president franklin roosevelt. right. >> exactly. one of the granddaughters of franklin roosevelt, along with representatives of every presidential family from that point forward, are together in that moment of national significance. but they were also together this morning at the white house. and the bidens had invited the carter family and presidential families to be together befo

the republicans went relentlessly against him and it hurt al gore. sense all of the clinton scandals and we needed to change and turn the page and george w. bush said i am going to restore honor and integrity in the oval office. i remember chris matthews, on this network once had a show that was after this is aing, bill clinton took the bath and al gore got the bathroom ring. that was the result of a sustained republican attack on those issues and it did matter. it mattered very much when, you know, bill clinton's scandals, all of those things were attacked and caused a sense among them that they have to turn the page. we just never really did that with trump. >> that is right. it is an interesting point. i say that separate from the underlining rule of law that should be done in an unpartisan way. we covered that and the biden case and mendez case none of that should be politicalized. the facts that come out of the case are public materials that anyone in politics or society can then respond to. for example, you had a lot of trump aides testifying t

i just look back at both nixon and al gore.both got standing ovations at the end of the certification. i think it will be interesting to see what reaction she gets from the chamber. >> coming up inside the scramble to keep vice president mike pence safe from pro- trump rioters four years ago today, his former chief of staff will join us to discuss january 6th then and january 6th today, plus the 2024 election certification begins, the process itself, just minute from now after this break. stay with us. >>> on snowy capitol hill, a joint session of gres is convening to count each state's votes and declare that donald trump is president-elect. we're waiting for senators to walk through statutory hall into the chamber so they can begin. it's getting under way just minutes from now. you see there, people in statuary hall assembled. back with the team here in new york. president- elect donald trump entering the white house in just 14 days. a lot to get to ahead. abbey, just in terms of what we're going to see, this is probably somet

al gore did that. nixon did that. but what was that like to watch? >> i was saying this earlier where i think in some ways today really showed that january 6th should be an unremarkable day to americans. it was just a pro forma -- it took 30 minutes for us to go through this business today and i hope that americans can see that's should be how it is forever, as long as our democracy is here, january 6th should just be that type of process. well as you point out, there was something different about this, as well, and that was seen vice president kamala harris overseeing this, and i think what i took away from this is the recognition that it is representative of the peaceful transfer of power, which we failed as a nation to accomplish four years ago. and i say that as someone who has worked in diplomacy and national security. i've been in failed countries around the world where they don't have that capacity. so yeah, i want january 6th to be unremarkable but in some ways it's because we take our democracy for granted. we think that the peaceful transfe

al gore, former vice president as well is there. many of them had been a part of at least in some way habitat for humanity of the one of the beautiful organizations that jimmy carter helped found in his post presidency. >> bill: there will be several tributes. joe biden will deliver one of them. in an ironic twist in presidential history some of the other tributes will be delivered by steve ford, the son of the late president gerald ford. he wrote a tribute to jimmy carter. they forged a friendship together in the presidential club and ford will deliver that. ted mondale will read a letter written by his father and the former vice president walter mondale today. >> dana: you will hear from james carter, one of the many grandsons of president carter and joshua carter as well and jason carter. so jason, joshua and james all grandchildren of president carter will have a chance to pay tribute to their late grandfather who they loved very much. >> bill: andrew young is also there today. i was watching him the other day in an interview an

catherine al gore, and they'll be discussing dr. drew pinsky, his latest book making the presidency. john adams and the precedents that forged the republic. and this book really focuses on john adams, who had the truly unenviable task of following george washington to become the second president of the united states. and he became president in a moment of enormous challenge for a brand new country that still had fairly tentative institutions. and dr. trevaskis will share with us tonight her thoughts on john adams leadership and his legacy. dr. stravinsky is a historian in and she focuses on the presidency, political culture and u.s. government institutions. she is the executive director of the george washington presidential library and she's the author. in addition to this book on john adams of the award winning book, the cabinet, george washington and the creation of an american institution. she was also the coeditor from morning of the president's loss and legacy in american culture. she's been published in the washington post and

nixon and al gore most recently. "america reports" now. ♪ ♪

al gore did that as well. he of course is seated among this group.dents, bill clinton, george w. bush, and donald trump, were born in the same summer. the oldest among them is donald trump.

we have not seen this, we should note, since of course al gore presided over the election of g.w.hat scene? we saw a play earlier live on capitol hill. >> there were cheers both by harris supporters and detractors when the results were announced. i think it speaks well to the united states about the peaceful transfers of power. it is really an incredible thing to watch someone certify their own defeat. there are many countries where he could not be done. we sometimes take that for granted. i hope this all goes in a new era of at least a little more peace. speak up perhaps americans hopeful in a similar way as bilt what we saw play out today. when we were covering it live, one of our guests noted that it appeared kamala harris almost seemed in a good mood. she was laughing and chatting alongside the newly elected speaker of the house mike johnson. your thoughts as you are watching on this earlier. >> it was a normal boring procedure. that is the way that it should be. >> sandra: we don't see a whole lot of those anymore in washington. i guess maybe we will take that one. anyway, it

now the big drug companies had all supported him against al gore. they didn't like gore or me because we were trying to use the generic drugs. but i told them, i said, i know they say that. and i said, of all their mouth off. he said what do you mean? i said, well if you ask he said well how, how effective are these generic drugs. they say they're only 60% as effective as our drugs. and remember the first time one of those guys made this argument to me, i said, i don't believe i'd say that if i were you. and he said, why, i because your drugs are still ten or 15 times more expensive. so if trying to save more lives, you will still buy the generics. and that really him mad. i didn't mean to make him make, but i didn't think talking about math make anybody mad. but anyway. so i as george. but keep in mind you know you do that to raise money for a campaign and you don't like to use those big donors you don't like to make powerful interest groups mad. and i said to bush i said, look, i know you got to respect these people. so what about this what if i ta

bush won the election because al gore decided to step out of the point when bush was ahead. end of story and that's what it democracy is all about and one person can intricacies and the other person went we moved to the next president and ultimately the next election but that is not the case in the year 2020. we still have the candidate in this case president trumpe who said denial as to what happened in 2020 and the consequent some characterize it is a big lie whatever you want to characterize it as it really is an important question music is to theer fundamentals of anyone seeking a position init the cabinet of the president for serving our nation and is a good knowledge of peaceful transition of power in 2020, from donald trump to joe biden and the answerid is yes the reason is to be at the certification electoral vote senator kobe chart member at that moment with process were supposed to the constitution end of story we get when asked a simple question mss unable to say just expressly guess and joe biden received more votes than donald trump was elected president in 2020

bush, who arrived shoulders back, straight past the trumpet and straight to al gore, who he famouslyd in the year 2000 votes. slightly awkward encounter. the vice president kamala harris arrives soon after, pointedly pushing the second gentleman in front of her, avoiding any need to engage with the president-elect. then president biden arriving last. to say this was uncomfortable viewing was perhaps the understatement of the day. it was like the wedding where you try to position people next to the person that they didn't want to talk to. but it has everybody talking, no doubt. evening shows will have some pretty good fun with that. there you go, on the right-hand side of your screen, the honor guard just approaching mission 39, as it's known. that is air force one but it is known as mission 39 when president biden is not traveling on it. of course, carrying the casket of the 39th president of the united states. we will continue to watch that announcer: funding for presentation of this program is provided by... financial services firm, raymond james. announcer: funding was also provid

then, as the 21st century opened, historian catherine al gore's, trailblazing book parlor politics madeus all reconsider and redefine power as utilized by america's founding. al gore's work positively shaped the amazing new books that poured out in the 2000s by wonderful scholars like patricia brady, joseph ellis, amy greenberg watson, catherine clinton. catherine sibley. christy miller. lewis. nancy burke young. barbara perry. myra gutting. maureen beasley wertheimer among others. that was some decade of scholarship. now, not long after that first university class interest spread well beyond the academy with children's books. novels, including one by james patterson, called the first lady, and books, journalists such as cokie rebecca boggs roberts, lisa mccubbin hill and kate anderson brower, journalists who write books about living first ladies based upon interviews with those who knew them, are an interpretive first wave and very for scholars. i'm thinking here of bernstein on hillary clinton, ronald kessler and laura bush. peter slevin and michelle obama, for example, susan page int

the big drug companies that supported him against al gore, but he didn't like gore or me because we wereto use the generic drugs, but i told him, i said i know they say that. and first of all, you're-- if you're asking for help by the generic drugs, they're only 60% as effective as our drugs. and i remember the first time one of the guys made the argument to me, i don't know if i'd say that if i were you. and i said why? >> because your drugs of still 10 or 15 times more expensive. so if you're trying to save more lives you'd still buy the generics and that made him mad. i didn't mean to -- i didn't think talking about math would make anybody mad. [laughter] >> but anyway, so i asked george bush, keep in mind, you know, you do have to raise money, it's a campaign and you don't like to lose big donors and you don't like to make powerful interest groups mad and i said to bush, i said, look, i know you've got to respect these people so what about this, what if i take every drug that our foundation puts into any human body anywhere on earth and submit it to the food and drug administration.

i'll just point out to al gore too many people don't think of as a boulevard because obviously someone who's job done a tremendous amount of good in brittany and global attention to the issue of climate change. uh, and a little bit further back in time of herbert hoover, who let's be honest as a very mixed uh, sort of view. yeah. but amongst historians did tremendous good at the end of world war one and helping to feed so many people across europe. and what was the union so yes, oh adults can in fact do good. um i think these days were a little bit more focused on some of the less good things that are doing. so these days we're looking at tech oligarchs. tell us what it is about the american title, the galks that could make them a danger to democracy. yeah i, i think this is, this is the key issue that my co author valentino rodriguez guerra and i are focusing on in our, in our new book check all the drugs, particularly those that are focusing on the search. and now a, i have already shaped the way in which we all think an act, and that is really in many ways the highest form of power

today we were arguing and because we haven't seen each other for a while, we were in the city of al gore lift because we were covering hits and other atrocity by the ukranian militants who attacked purely residential neighborhood. i suggest you take a look at our report that we filed this afternoon. you create new minutes in use cluster munitions to strike one of the residential areas of goal of getting the results and people who are, who is it and are now being treated at all so, so now 6 of those people were who did arrive here at the entrance to the supermarket. now the strikes took place at around 10 o'clock in the morning on saturday. that means they were already quite a few people at the supermarket and noticed out to the moon and with uncommon drones and showing with cluster munitions while people were going to buy brandon. now there were sand shows, the shows began in cluster homes, lending money into shop participating. they wanted to rushed inside and we provided prostate called an avenue. and just as you can see, this is a purely a residential neighborhood that was struck by u

this is in the tradition of al gore with george w. bush, richard nixon was john f. kennedy but as routine as biden would like to present this as it is anything but because of what happened four years ago on january 6, 2020. this certification is a national security event, the first time the certification has had that designation. the secret service will be in charge of it. it will be 500 national guard troops standing by and the capitol police will be on high alert. there will be tension. the vote will go forward. sick -- fairly seamlessly. >> and that is the expectation. they have ramped up security around an event that was essentially a nonevent until four years ago. in terms of the specifics of the implementation of the trump policy agenda, mike johnson saying he plans to pass a bill that would encompass much of trump's agenda vice spring, which sounds like a pretty swift implementation process so how likely is that and what is the uniformity in terms of the house and senate on getting that across the line? >> we will see. don't forget mike johnson himself was re

it's going to be the end of us by al gore, all the people taking their private jets to davos and having the climate meetings. the u.s. whether it's part of the paris accords or just how we do things when we approve our -- improve our technology, engines, everything that we do if we are allowed to, allowed to focus on that, we are one of two countries that has seen our curve go down on co-2 production. us and japan. the only ones in the paris accord, of all the western countries doing that. look what china's doing. china is ever increasing their amounts of co-2. more and more coal fired power plants that have very little scrubber activity on the plants if at all. china is triple of the co-2 production of what the united states is. we are number two. we are highly industrialized country. we are already bending the curve downward. we don't get credit for that. instead let's export all our jobs, our economy, our manufacturing to china. to india, places like that. india's is on the rise as well. they are a smaller country industrially, but they are on the rise. why would we do that? why woul

there came a moment when al gore stood up and said that is it, it's over. i've gone to court and i could keep going to court but i don't think that is in the best interest of this country. i can see george w. bush won. you didn't hear democrats saying never concede that in public. we did. george w. bush won the election because al gore decided to step out at a point when bush was ahead, end of story. that is what democracy is all about. one person concedes, the other person wins, you move to the next president and ultimately the next election. but that is not the case in the year 2020. we still have a candidate, in this case, president trump, who is in denial as to what happened in 2020. and whatever you want to characterize it, it really is an important question. because the gifts to the fundamentals of anyone seeking the position in the cabinet of this president were conserving our nation. do they acknowledge the peaceful transition of power in a 2020 from donald trump joe biden? the answer is yes. the reason is we have the certification of the electoral

bush won the election because al gore decided to step out when bush was ahead. end of story. that is what a democracy is all about. one person concedes, the other person wins we moved to the next president and ultima the next election that's not the case in the year 2020. with still have a candidate, in this case president trump who is in denial as to what happened in 2020 and consequent scent characterize a big lie, whatever you up to characterize it, it really is a big question inc. is the fundamentals of anyone seeking a position in the cabinet of this president are serving our nation did they acknowledge the peaceful transfer of power in 2020 from donald trump to joe biden? the answer is yes. the reason is we had the certification of the electoral center klobuchar remembers at one point to the process we are supposed to go through in our constitution and of story. what i asked that simple question of ms. bondi yesterday, she was unable to just expressly yes joe biden received more votes than donald trump was elected president in 2020 why is that such a hard question? i do
