because we saw what happened in the 2020 alexion and i will quite now that until senate bill. passed there was nothing georgia law that allowed these drop boxes the secretary of state is shade instead of the election board because a coveted issue. margin saying ruled that would actually allow the stroke is now georgia law allows them under certain circumstances it was maine they struck boxes more ridiculous to begin with they were supposed to be monitored $24.00 by 7 and this would open the door for a ballot harvesting and his follower is not being able to pet food and water and lie and the democrats i'm just completely. and completely turned it around an election official can pass out food and water in line you can get water in brain get they are what this bill is trying to do is because democrats in bolton indicate we're actually campaigning they were handing out water and we've campaigned stampers of the bottled water passing it out in latin and and republican cayley's because election boards are run so well you know they lines like you actually see in some of these democra

one point i want to ask you the by the administration says russia tried to interfere in the 2020 alexion we've heard this time and time and time again are they just flogging a dead horse at this point is specially considering biden won the election well what they're trying to do is deflect attention away from what they undertook during the election so they're trying to blame russia for their own activities this is very typical of the democratic party here where there were widespread reports over that toral fraud a jury in the us election that sadly that's another story we don't have time for today but i wanted to ask you the czech republic has now also expelled 18 russian diplomats accusing moscow of orchestrating a deadly blast in 24 teen russia responded in kind there's also now been a spot with poland why do you think we're suddenly all of a sudden now seeing these expulsions happening at the same time. well it has to do with the biden administration in the us which is putting pressure on these countries to put pressure on russia this is there's no question about it the only thing tha

democrats refused to accept that outcome as of to undermine that election so now we've got a 2020 alexion and again the losing side does not accept the outcome and we can be absolutely certain that given the 5050 country the united states is at the moment that the 2024 election will be very close and we can be sure that the losing side will not accept that outcome so in other words the very basis of democracy which is losing sight says ok we lost you on the government that's gone that's not there in the united states so it is a little hollow for the united states and around lecturing the world about the perfections of democracy you know brian you know if i came across a hang on let me go back to ryan and we're able when gets equal time here i'm going to go to brian in washington you know brian go go and it's go back to the anchorage confound. blinken wanted to talk about the we want to talk about hong kong we want to talk about taiwan. well would it be fair on the chinese part to say well what's going on in flint michigan why don't your people have clean water maybe we should take this to

georgia because once again we're dealing with a state that was known played a very key role in the 2020 alexion and we're still going to debate it so that we do a late president of the atlanta tea party and then we have the doc and former member of the georgia house of representatives you so much for joining me ladies thank you for having you know i want to start with you for our viewers who are maybe not so familiar with this for civic details of this legislation it's obviously been very controversial from the very beginning why do democrats actually feel in the said georgia right now that this bill that it's been passed will suppress voters. well thank you that's a very good question so there are many things in the bill that are very concerning to democrats one of those is during these 20 twentieth's i should there were ballot boxes use outside of precincts and in various places for people to drop off the absentee ballots now that's going to be minimized to one for one every 100000 people there is more boater i'd be that is require not only that you cannot give out food awards of people stand

benjamin netanyahu gets the mandate from israel's president to form a new government after the 4th alexion in 2 years throws up another political stalemate. a u.s. police chief testifies again.

state and state and the message they've heard is that they want the recognition of the november 2020 alexion they want political prisoners to be released and they want the violence to stop in there they seem to be in general agreement with the statement from the sea and leaders how there she comes into play those is quite another thing we've seen. in the past in the ninety's in the early 2000 agreeing to various road maps with c.n.n. agreeing to all sorts of conditions to bring themselves out of international sanctions on the ground however things have been very different and i think the issue is also going to be how are you going to bring the protesters to the table they say they were part of a democratic process that has been thrown out of the window by the secure in the fact that they are now protesting in such large numbers and so many people have been killed no more than 700 i think means that they want more now they don't want to go back to a state where it is a managed democracy side by side with a military that retains a very strong power they they've seen what the military going to

. >> these sanctions, you know the reason is due to the alleged alexion meddling, the solar hack, theup of troops on the u.k. border. do you think these sanctions will change the course of recent russian behavior? >> it is very difficult to say. i can only judge when i have facts. i don't have any facts. i have not heard anything about proof. for many years we have heard russia was having some relationship with mr. trump. at the end of the day it appeared to be fake information but nobody apologized. sorry for accusing you. it has never appeared to be the truth. we should really work together and try to define what is right, what is wrong. we want a good relationship with america. unfortunately, the president did not bring the preparation. we expect the new administration can do much better. annmarie: so you are bullish on the biden administration. i think the intelligence officers would not agree with you on meddling. thank you for your time. always the diplomat. anna: thank you very much for bringing us that conversation. coming up on the program, we take a look at -- well, we are b
