"the beat" with ari melber starts right now. >> thank you very much. i'm ari melber. welcome to a special edition of "the beat" featuring an extended interview with dr. anthony fauci. the renowned director of the federal government's institute of infectious diseases since 1984. he is speaking out tonight, the very night the federal government is on track to approve america's first covid vaccine. sending out trucks loaded with the shots to hospitals across the nation. this is big news, of course, for how this pandemic ends while also stoking life and death policy questions, like who goes first, who makes these tough calls? when can you get your vaccine dosage? dr. fauci will tackle these important questions tonight and speak on the challenges as covid, of course, is surging to these record-breaking numbers we've been tracking this very week, as well as lessons learned from his work with presidents across party lines, including, of course, the outgoing trump administration. so that interview, i want you to know, is coming up live tonight on "the beat." stick with us for

ari. >> facts. facts. i'll give you another -- >> ari, i need to double down. double down on the dark night because you know, as they say, madness is kind of like gravity. all it takes is a little push. >> just a push. i remember that line. >> and that's what we have right now. we have madness in our political system right now. and hopefully that will change soon. >> i'll flip it on you. the great estelle says sometimes love takes just a push. so, we could go mad or we could return back. amber, you knew this was going to happen. >> yes, i know you. >> i got something to play for both of you, which is when donald trump -- although he has his supporters and we've had them on the program and many of them find him, you know, edgy or they say he's funny but it's certainly, i think, fair to say, it's a harsher, rougher style. barack obama, as a president, used his power in a different way. it was -- the joking felt somehow a lot more warm. this was one of his classics that everyone in politics can remember because it's funny if you know the characters. take a look. >

"the beat" with ari melbur starts now. >> hi, nicole. i'm ari melbur. as the project dies out and complicates republicans' chances in georgia, giuliani is keeping the former new york mayor in the news. >> mr. giuliani did you ask for a pardon? >> are you going to ask me that? of course i didn't. that's ridiculous. that's a very insulting question. i did not ask the president for a pardon and i have not committed any crimes. >> mr. giuliani's denial doesn't rule out whether he discussed this with president trump amidst the reporting trump is pardoning up to 20 allies and an unprecedented string of pardons they concede could be an abuse of power and pack firbackfire. it shows names why some republicans are getting nervous, possible beneficiaries run from paul manafort who trump claimed he barely knew before 2016 so why pardon him and two, what you see on the screen, the absurd concept of a celebrity pardon for joe exotic from "the tiger king." this is real life. pardon debate has republicans nervous because trump has shown little concern for anything othe

i did want to ask you this, ari. president-elect biden has been dismissive of any of these notions for a long time, for about six months. he's just blown it off, said there's nothing there. is that sustainable? if they're not even going to ask the incoming press secretary, i guess so. i wonder how quickly this might be as he tries to get his administration out of the gate. >> you just put your finger on it. it is entirely sustainable if the press doesn't dig. you and i, i think, are cut from a similar cloth. we're both old fashion enough to respect the press. to think the press will do their job, they'll cover a scandal and won't worry fit's a d and r. the trump years have made it hard for people who want to trust the main stream media because they keep showing that's no longer the case. with joe biden, perhaps there will be additional scrutiny of who he appoints for attorney general. perhaps they'll make him take a promise and the attorney general take a promise not to interfere in the probe of the president-elect's

how are you, ari? >> doing well.everyone learned the last few cycles, you need the whole picture, not just partial data. what do you see there? >> well, the early vote in georgia looks absolutely great for democrats. now keep something in mind, for all intensive purposes, the republicans should have this election in the bank. the historical precedent is fully on their side. the party that loses the white house always wins these run offs. also, democrats historically do very poorly in run off elections. they fail to turn out their voters and then you add the fact that georgia is for all intensive purposes still a red state that only recently with sta stacyey abrams gurun turned pur. it took a lot of people by surprise including republicans and democrats by surprise. that state is turning purple but not quite fully blue yet. these things should speak to the fact that republicans should be easily able to win this. the problem however, is that trump has really messed things up for them. there is a serious concern that th

ari lennox is on the way.st turned another year older. all she wants for her birthday is two seats in the u.s. senate. the georgia runoff is on january 5th. please welcome stacey abrams. [ cheers and applause ] hi, how are you? >> i am well, thank you. i love your idea for a birthday present. >> jimmy: happy birthday to you by the way, stacey. >> thank you, thank you very much. >> jimmy: am i the first or have you been wished a happy birthday already? >> you are the first to do it as of the stroke of midnight, yes. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: very exciting. may i ask how old you are on this birthday? >> i am now 47 years old. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: can you demand ary count for something like this? [ laughter ] >> given the evidence that's piled up over the last 46 years, i think i would have a similar losing streak to donald trump. [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: it's tough having a birthday in december. you have to compete with jesus and santa claus and everybody. >> and sister. my sister

hi, ari. >> hi, jonathan. thank you so much. welcome to "the beat." i'm ari melber. we begin tonight with this erratic and unpredictable lame duck president wreaking havoc in what are the fining days. donald trump did fold and cave and signed the exact covid relief bill that had been sitting here for days. this is the same bill that extends unemployment benefits and provides $600 in direct payments and aid to individuals and with foreign aid. these are things donald trump had singled out and said that because there was that potential foreign money or other details, those were his, he said, sticking points. so it's important to know tonight as we go on the air they're in the exact same bill he just signed into law. in the end, the fact is that donald trump's antics brought him nothing. it's a self-made crisis that has such real-life impact. 14 million people may miss very vital aid, the unemployment checks that would have been on their way if not for trump's delay. as you can see, speaker pelosi has called a vote on the extended expanded payments. we'll let you know w

they're stuck in a box, ari. what happens if you're a republican in alabama, mississippi, south carolina, a lot of these traditional republican states where the vast majority of the republicans now think that the election was stolen from them. they come out and say, you know what, the election wasn't stolen. biden rightfully won, you know as good as i do, next year they're going to be in the primary, and they're going to lose. so it is a sticky place that they have gotten themselves into, but they have no one to blame but themselves. >> all good points and cornell knows the polling well, so when he's reminding us that apparently lies are polling better than facts in some primaries, that's something we have to live with, even if trump or trumpism evolves and mutates. cornell, thank you for kicks au -- kicking us off tonight. >>> this is our special report right now tonight on the critical, legal e pxposure that faces donald trump. most presidents did depart with less pressing concerns. they are focused on their me

"the beat" with ari melbur starts now. >> i have a question for you. with all the time in the white house, i was noticing you have news with the fbi where they're signaling they would hold over the fbi director, which is normal but you have so many people concerned that many of the picks trump made are abnormal and there has to be a balancing degree. i' i'm curious what you think about that given the transitions and white house because you can see it both ways, the tradition is holding the fbi director a term that's non-part zisan but replacing a non-trump person might be non-partisan and how do white houses think that through? >> that's interesting and you've touched on this specific issue that i think is a tug-of-war at the highest levels of this transition team, the wire circle team folks around the law enforcement and doj and fbi picks and there is a real divide is too strong but there is a tension between what you described and keeping someone like an fbi director because that's what you do. because trump has ocho blib rabo many norms, do you hue

good evening, sir. >> good everyone, ari, how are you? >> i'm fine. into the holidays in fairness to every president the precedent is there although it's highly controversial because you don't tend to do the things on the friday night news dump or christmas eve news dump. do you think bill barr is planning this again and does it concern you? >> is there anything i would put past bill barr. this is something he'd think about doing. i'm glad you brought up casper weinberger not just because of bill barr's direct involvement and that move but to point out that the pardon power has generally been used by presidents for trash. all right? i think we've been spoiled a bit by barack obama and his use of pardon powers to reshape justice and give clemency in the way that was most highly intended. what presidents in the past have done have used that power corruptly to pardon friends and cronies, bill clinton did it, george h.w. bush did it, gerald ford did it to cost him an election campaign so the president is there that the pardon power can be used by the pres

>> so i think you're right, ari. your baseline assessment that you don't need a pardon unless you're guilty of something is dead on the money, but what we should all be concerned about here is the way the president will spin this narrative and how he will use it to convince people who are still in his base, still his supporters that joe biden will be the one who will bring on board a corrupt legal system so he has to protect his children and himself with pardons. this will make it important joe biden's justice department sets a high standard for integrity and works hard to regain the trust of the american people. it's not fair they have to do that, but this is just, i think, indicative of the type of damage that the president will continue to do to our fundamental institutions on his way out the door. >> but if you're ivanka trump with your whole life and career ahead of you, what do you have to consider before legally taking something like this? >> you know, i think the calculus people in that position are forced to

mollie hemingway, and ari fletcher joining me, both fox news contributor. molly, what is the media's role in propping up biden as some kind of uniter? in these last 4-5 weeks? >> it's really interesting to see how immediately after the election, this new p.r. messaging came out. a time for unity, a time for healing. everybody would just immediately submit and decide to let bygones be bygones. there really could be unity, as you point out. there are things that could be done. i think first and foremost there needs to be an apology for joe biden repeatedly falsely calling donald trump a racist, lying about his remarks during his presidency, and saying his supporters are racist. that is the bare minimum.ay he could go all the way back for apologies, but if joe biden really wanted to do that, i think that would be an importang first step. >> ari, this idea that you can unite the country when at least 60 million of theth 74 million believe the other side, the people supporting biden really look down on them, hate them, think they are stupid, racist, bigoted.d. y

"the beat" with ari melber starts right now. >> hi, nicole. welcome to "the beat." donald trump is getting a preview what it will be like to be an ex president because he's watching from the sidelines while new decision makers do what they do and make important decisions. president elect biden making news here adding put buttigieg to his cabinet and lawmakers working to reach a covid relief deal treating this lame duck president as an after thought and leader mitch mcconnell's acre knowledgement of a joe biden victory while helping move washington forward an inch is so tardy after so much coddling of donald trump's denial, the whole thing is ripe for late night treatment. >> with yesterday's electoral college results, some republicans have been forced to face their biggest fear, reality. >> mcconnell said as of this morning, our country officially has a president elect. as if we hadn't had one for the 40 mornings before that. >> no hurry, mitch, what else does you formally recognize? alaskan statehood? >> meanwhile, president trump's schedule has been famously quite

along with fox news contributor ari fleischer.agree with ocasio-cortez, but it is very revealing when democrats talk about conservatives, trump supporters, republicans, isn't it? it's how they really feel, right? >> [laughs] sean, i really look at this the same way i do when reporters go on twitter, and we can see what their actual leanings are. the bias just comes pouring right out. i'm so glad that she said that, beep of those republicans need to go into the new biden administration with eyes wide open. joe biden is not a bipartisan leader. he really has never been one. he is a very partisan man, and he can talk that line and the press will let him get away with talking that line, but we need to remember the people surrounding him and he himself, there leanings are going to cut republicans down at every stretch of the plate, and embarrassed republicans, and i'm glad she said it. now we know who we are dealing with. >> sean: you know, i don't think this is a bold prediction, pete, but i'm just guessing, all right, they are going

ari fleischer is here to talk about the vaccine doubters. plus, the biden campaign taking big bucks on facebook and social media. for, senator james risch on chinese spies in america and the threats from beijing next. if you have moderate to severe psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, little things can become your big moment. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats differently. for psoriasis, 75% clearer skin is achievable, with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. for psoriatic arthritis, otezla is proven to reduce joint swelling, tenderness, and pain. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and ma

>> i get the humor, the dry ari humor in that but yes, it does.er of the cult, it absolutely inflecicts sufferg and he's inflicting suffering on all of us. he's going to make people mad in any way he can over the next four weeks. >> right. >> beginning with pardons. beginning with pardons. watch what he does with pardons. they will be equal opportunities, equal opportunity offensive. >> well put. there is another moment i want to ask you about that you were discussing with us as we prepared our report tonight because donald trump has vacated the job completely. it's been well-known that there is a lot of executive time, tv watching time, things he skipped out on but this is another level that speaks to something and even if people think of him as somehow transactional and rob robot robotic, there is some feeling and anger that involves being checked out and so i want to play this once for everyone to see and then we'll rerack for folks to see the city. the president comes in to give a medal to an athlete, as presidents do these kinds of things. th

>> i actually agree with ari. i don't know what the stimulus package will do much to change the race in georgia, but i think it does underscore just the profound, profound importance. the big difference between today and save 2009 when barack obama was in the house, the current crop of democrats are far more dangerous than anything we saw even with barack obama bringing in obamacare appear there is no telling what these people are going to try to do if they get control of all levers of the government. after all joe biden didn't run a campaign. he didn't even ask people for their vote. he didn't even lay out an agenda for what he wanted to do. what does that tell you? that tells you he has some secret moderate agenda that mainstream agenda that he wants to perform? i think not. i think the degree of radical crazy that we are apt to see if they get full control of the entire shop will be something we have never seen before. and ito think another reason -- and i agree also with obviously changing the antics of the st

meanwhile, "the beat" with ari melber starts right now. >> hey, jonathan, thank you so much. welcome to "the beat." we're tracking a clash in washington with consequences for millions of american. the showdown over the size of this covid relief. president trump is in a political civil war with republican leaders. he's warning to have a death wish if they continue to oppose him which has mitch mcconnell caught between republican opposition to increasing these covid stimulus checks. checks that you could receive and the out going president now demanding after months of republican diterring on all of this covid relief, the year is ending with this important fight. it's a fight over action. there are people right now whose rent and emergency bills, whose lives could really turn on what happens next. house democrats have passed this bill that basically raises the stimulus payments that again, that you would be set to receive to $2,000. this is a plan that trump now supports. and senate democrats are ready to make it law but today, mitch mcconnell is blocking holding a vote on just

a joining me now is ari fleischer. also with me, victor david hanson. gentlemen, great to see you. victor, these efforts of working against american interest have been pushed by silicon valley and china, yet our liberal elites prop both up. what's going on here? >> well, you have to remember to start off with joe biden and the democrats outraised the republicans about 2.5 to 110. large amounts came from silicon valley. they have a codependent relationship with china. they understand their technology is being peeled off and stolen but they also understand getting a 1.4 billion mark up. it's their way of thinking -- it's not good business to put jobs here in the united states. clap t down on the chinese. then they make that sentiment felt in a lot of insidious ways. one through hunter biden when he lands in china. michael bloomberg, for example said china wasn't an authoritarian government when he was helping to leverage the creation of chinese communist companies with western capital. where i work, stanford university, is the brainchild of all of silicon valley. being investigated b

headlines this hour clemency for killers known for whistle blowers donald trump's pardon list includes mr aris guilty of the mass murder of civilians in iraq but leaves off those who spilled the beans on american war crimes today we hear they've been released the personal orders of president trump it's like the u.s. doesn't care for spilled rocky blood it seems political considerations prevailed on legal and judicial watch singles decision also this hour a plane carrying sputnik 3 suppliers from moscow is on its way to argentina after the country's regulator officially registers the russian jab not so merry christmas queues empty shells unusual decorations and santa in a bubble people around the globe try to get into the festive spirit despite a tough endemic prescription. good afternoon just gone 3 o'clock in moscow you without international no mercy for mercenaries but whistle blows can go whistle on trump position to lists of pardons but despite calls from rights activists freedom of speech defenders like genius are jeanette would snowden have been left off at the same time to the outgoing

first up, ari fleischer with analysis, the latest from lawmakers.et's begin with mark meredith who was reporting from west palm beach. merry christmas. >> good afternoon. right now congress is trying to figure out how serious the president is with his demand to increase the money that would be going on stimulus checks. earlier today, house democrats had a chance to meet and decide whether or not this would be pushed through, but republicans made it clear they were not going to support this effort, 600 and then from 2,000. they want congress to re-examine money that's tied to a bill that's attached to stimulus. right now it's unclear if they could improve this package or not. the president got here to florida last night. he surprised so many people when he voiced his displeasure because it was hammered out by congress and the treasury secretary, someone that's talking to the president often. no one thought he wouldn't approve this deal. still being tied to a package, if this is not approved it could mean a government shutdown next week. >> this is ch

that's what he faces. >> i'm looking at it as an intramural battle, ari. and that is the radical socialists, they're going to demand they're listened to. biden will be beholden to them. on the other hand, then you're going to have republicans that maybe didn't learn the lessons of trump. that is a republican party that keeps its word, fights for what they believe in and ultimately is a party that is of working people, men and women and minorities and that believes in freedom and an open economy and america first. republicans who want to go back to the establishment days are dead in the water, from my perspective. >> i'm convinced the politics of the future breaks down the following way. democrats are a left, far left struggle. i see an ideological split in their party. the republican is more inside establishment versus outsider popular. donald trump has won the hearted and soul of the republican party. that's the split in the two parties. democrats, a true old fashion ideological dog fight, and it's actually the socialists against the liberals when it come

and so i was disappointed to nand it wa find that it was just me and ari, and i imagine ari was disappointed, too. but it was a really important way to establish more of a personal relationship and we didn't need camp to feel that way, but i think it contributed a lot to the family at momosphe. >> so, mike, you lived there with your wife and two daughters and that had to be a really fascinating experience to raise children at camp david. what was that experience like? to be there with your family? >> we are the only family that lives inside of the camp. so think about us every day families and transplant yourself to you and jr. family living in a cabin called cedar. a modest house with a great yard. your neighbors happy to be the president and camp marvin sometimes and others. but you're still a family. so there is a different dynamics. lots of highs, a few lows. >> there was a no pets rule at the time. >> but you broke this? >> my wife broke the rules but for good reason. and i'm sure the president's would find this so comic kal. there was a no pets rule, but one day michelle and the girls

it'll be the last one that the vaccination campaign will bring back a degree of normality within weeks ari nasser is in western limb for us irene so long down has just started tell us about how strict is it how are people doing. well there was a mad rush ahead of the lockdown for people preparing in tel aviv business even seemed as usual just an hour or 2 ahead of the lock down the long run is supposed to last about 2 weeks but health officials are saying that that's likely to be extended for about $3.00 to $4.00 weeks total numbers of infections here have really been on the rise and surging over the past few weeks and just over the past few days the surpassed or have been around 4000 cases recorded every day now without this lockdown going into place health officials are saying that those number of daily inspections could rise to about 9000 restrictions are quite strict people are not allowed to go beyond the kilometer away from their homes businesses will mostly be closed except for essential needs including pharmacies and groceries and then public transport and workplaces will be reduce

would look at that your checked aries see if they often need to overtake trucks and buses say and see if that could be quite high risk of. their findings could be used by urban planners to redesign busy cross roads for example. traffic patterns are constantly in flux recent months have seen a 25 percent rise in cyclists on berlin's streets when the pandemic hit the city created a number of pop up cycling paths. but the fix my berlin team say there's still a lot of work to be done. and i'm sure that. compared to other cities the mayor and the city government aren't very invested in cycling policy. in paris and london it's a political priority at the water. and. perhaps not yet but the visionaries at city lab are working hard to get berlin up to speed. that so many people are rising around the world to make a positive impact on the earth is a hot fact i hope you will examine your impact however big or small it right to was if you have any questions or thoughts about it going to. we'll see you again next week until then good bye. moving. the movement. you know that 77 percent of. our you

"the beat" with ari melbur starts now. >>> this crucial vote coming in tonight on who gets the covid vaccine first, the cdc ruling and announcing this vaccine will go first to health care workers and nursing home residents. that's a development that may sound logical but this is official. another sign of the planning for these coming vaccines. also, new reports about how president trump and his top officials are rushing to use their powers in government before they run out. the intelligence committee chair adam schiff joins me live on that story tonight. there are several angles. news how trump's legal strategy has basically got the top government lawyer that donald trump used to praise most now under cutting him and that's our top story now. attorney general barr saying something today that is on the one hand entirely ordinary. the election is over and there was no wide spread voter fraud and big news and allegedly news to donald trump after battles where barr toloyally took his side. doing an interview to reaffirm no evidence of systemic voter fraud. we try to keep it real so let's

i imagine ari was disappointed to.t it was a really important way to establish more of a personal relationship. and we did not needs camp but i think it could tributes a lot that family atmosphere that pervades the white house staff through the entirety through bushes term. >> mike, you live there with your wife and two daughters. that had to be a really fascinating experience to raise children at camp david. but was that experience like, to be there with your family? >> what's a may not understand, for the only family that lives inside the camp. think about us every day families and transplant yourself, you had your children to living inside a cabin called cesar. it's really cool, an extraordinary place with a modest house with a great yard. and your neighbors happen to be the presidents and camp marvin and all the others. but you're still a family, two young daughters that were seven and four. and it is a different dynamic. lots of highs, few los. great memories like you can see and you have evergreen chapel. >> you'

ari fleischer brings us the latest.. and raymond arroyo exposes why joe biden is so touchy about her title and her husband struggles to another speech. the first, president-elect lockdown. that's the focus of tonight's angle. throughout the entire pandemic, anyone audacious enough to question the so-called science behind certain covert policieses or show any optimism for that matter about possible treatments was written off by the media or medical establishments on therapeutics like hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin. on the politically comic validity of the vcr tech or markdowns. all those issues, independent voices including on this program are not just mocked, they were censored as well by some of the social media giants. but here's the thing. those who dared to think for themselves were right. and of the tb were wrong. today we marked another occasion on which the same members of the media medic couple cartel missed the mark.th when presidentnt trump in may launched operation warp speed, promising to deliver a vaccine

here to react, seattle correspondent, ari hoffman.what you can get away with by claiming the poverty defense if it goes through, the crimes include theft, trespassing and assault. you have to claim you're poor, addicted or have a mental issue. is that the answer to solving the rise in homicides. >> of course it's not. right now in seattle they have spiked, the scrims hav crimes hd up to 300%. homicides have more than doubled. seattle politician's solutions is to just decriminalize crime. hundreds of misdemeanors will no longer be considered crimes if you can display you have a mental disorder or a drug abuse or it's a crime of poverty and you display that you have a need. well, i feel the need to go to nordstroms and get some new suits. we can't always get what we want. unfortunately, that's what these people are doing. that's why so many businesses, so many residents are fleeing downtown seattle because the laws right now are not being enforced. todd: there are somehow proponents of this idea, one of them the king county director of

former white house press secretary and fox news contributor now, ari fleischer joins me.re are a lot of moving parts here, i'm glad you are with me today. first of all, when you look at how an incoming white house would have to deal with this, what should joe biden's transition team be doing right now? >> in normal times this would be a number one headache, threatening to dominate all early action from the administration but normal is defined by the press corps so if the press corps goes easy then they don't have to have this usual feeding frenzy reaction most white houses go through so we will have to see what the rest of the media does with the story. right now they have muted it, they really haven't run with it the way others have. but harris, let me step back. i think there are three major themes here. number one, the threat of china. china remains a major threat, a major adversary and america needs to wake up, the incumbent biden administration needs to wake up and be tough with china. the dereliction of duty by the mainstream media is not reporting the hunter biden

to become his largest walk commissioned by the city government leonardo chose the battle of hungary ari has his motif leonardo received the commission in $1503.00 the same period during which he worked on lisa condo's portrait. restless as he was leonardo left even the biggest project the florence commissioned incomplete is it plausible that he behaved similarly when when he said i'm bending it only to finish it later motor probably made it is very likely that blaine otto puts the painting aside. he didn't finish it and never delivered it it was most likely completed at a later time i need. to let a.z. so i think that's this theory in which the painting was begun in 1503 and finished later is the most plausible and it's also the one i personally believe and we'll put it i mean. when did leonardo finish the painting. let's assume in old age among after he started it. 'd then leonardo must have carried the painting with him throughout much of his life. if there was such a time span between the start and the completion of the painting then we can determine that with today's modern methods.

i'm ari melber. donald trump hammers at american democracy. >> late today democratic lawyers are hitting back. i can show it to you. they're at the supreme court. they are taking names and going up against what we reported on to be clear a largely frivolous and tardy republican suit that argues joe biden's win should be reversed even though they blew through the certification deadlines. this is still a big deal at the court that has to get resolved asked the supreme court to toss it and throw out the texas case that is backed by 17 different republicans attorney general. many of them met right there at the white house with donald trump today as their own colleagues like john cornyn smacked down the case. >> it's unprecedented. >> i do not understand the legal theory. >> i don't want other states having a chance to change texas law based on a similar effort. >> now, that statement right there is a substantive way of rebutting his own party's last ditch effort and it's a reference to something we've re

thank you so, so much for letting us into your homes during these truly extraordinary times with ari melbur. >>> with this fact some republicans are with donald trump's hit a brick wall, we're seeing more and more of the supporters of the president in the republican party start to come to grips, at least slowly with reality. take mitch mcconnell who you know hasn't broken with donald trump on most anything throughout the four years. this is news he's gone down the senate floor to reference the truth. >> the electoral college has spoken. so today i want to congratulate president elect joe biden, the president elect is no stranger to the senate. he's devoted himself to public service for many years. i also want to congratulate the vice president elect, our colleague from california, senator harris. >> that's pretty standard senate floor stuff. the issue, of course, is not what he said but when he said it. a month out from this election and now, mitch mcconnell stepping up and acting like today was the first day he could give that kind of ceremonial nod. now, it's striking we don't pick

ari fleischer?rse this, let's say that these were charges that were made against a republican governor in texas or ford, georgia, it would be a media field day. it would be a feeding frenzy against that governor, and we are not seeing that now. cnn and msnbc have yet to cover the story of governor cuomo, and this is what happens when you accuse a democrat. the press stands back, they are not sure, they don't cover it. if you make such an accusation against a republican, and mere fact that it is an accusation is journalistically declared enough to run with the story and put the accused on the defense in order to deny. and we just don't see that here. it happen with tara reade against vice president biden, and now is happening with governor cuomo. it's just a regular double standard, isn't it? >> harris: it is interesting, as a former white house press secretary to get your take on things. you have known so many journalists, and you have seen what i've heard you described as the slide in where we are
