david willis, who is in los angeles. that is now official. and recognised by the outgoing president, david? not at all. and probably will never be, in fact. not at all. and probably will never be, infact. donald not at all. and probably will never be, in fact. donald trump distracting attention away from that with other news that we will get onto ina with other news that we will get onto in a 2nd. but those 55 california electoral college votes, enough to putjoe biden over the top as far is the 270 needed in the electoral college is concerned. it deals another blow to donald trump whose mounted of course, so many legal challenges trying to overturn the outcome of the presidential election by claiming voter fraud. those are unsubstantiated allegations of course. there's been 59 legal challenges so far. according to one persons count of theirs. and the trump campaign is saying that the legal challenges will continue. the electoral college votes now sent to washington well they will be counted onjanuary votes now sent to washington well they will be counted on january six. is it mrtrump they will be counted on january six. is it mr trump and his team of lawyers able to challenge that? there are reports that they will attempt to do so. this is a joint session on the 6th of january. of the house and senate. they basically gather to count the votes that are been cast today. but you know what? it's almost impossible to think with a democrat majority in the house of representatives to any challenge at that point in the process could be successful. it's starting to look well, it looks some while ago, somewhat desperate. it's looking particularly desperate now. now that the electoral college has declared the electoral college has declared the media here and other independent bodies have been saying for a long time thatjoe biden was indeed the victor of this presidential election. and those closest to donald trump now departing. bill barr the attorney general over the weekend over the weekend he described as a deposed king ranting. he's not going to be imposed for much longer. this is really extraordinary timing to stop because the tweet from donald trump came almost within seconds of the california state assembly casting its electoral college votes. that putjoe biden over the top as far as this election is concerned. donald trump tweeting and i quote here, just had a very nice meeting with the attorney general bill barr at the attorney general bill barr at the white house, our relationship has been a very good run. i'll come onto that just a has been a very good run. i'll come onto thatjust a 2nd. he has done an outstanding job. he goes on to say the attorney general deputyjoe rosen will become acting attorney general. it is not been a good relationship at all. a toxic relationship at all. a toxic relationship between the two. magically after bill barr said that the justice department magically after bill barr said that thejustice department concluded there was no evidence of fraud in there was no evidence of fraud in the last presidential election. he also held back the fact that a justice department investigation has been ongoing into joe justice department investigation has been ongoing intojoe biden said son hunter biden. something that infuriated president trump who believes that were such information had been out... david frozen there. we caught the end of that. donald trump furious at the attorney general hadn't pursued the investigation further into hunter biden. joe bidens on. the united states has recorded it's 300,000th death from coronavirus. the grim statistic was reach just hours after the first vanccine — outside of clinical trials was administered to an american citizen. sandra lindsay — an intensive care nurse in new york got herjab on camera in an effort to help boost public confidence in the vaccine. she said she hoped this was the beginning of the end of a long, painful period. nick bryant reports. this was a made for television moment staged in new york, the city that for months became the epicentre of this viral onslaught. the first recipient was a health worker on the covid front line — sandra lindsay, an intensive care nurse at a medical center in queens. i feel hopeful today, relieved, ifeel like healing is coming. i hope this marks the beginning to the end of the very painful time i

georgia republican party chairman david schaeffer. david. hi, david. how are we doing, david? we'll fire you so fast if we don't -- no, david has done a great, great job. and he works closely with rnc chairwoman. that's how we won a great state known as michigan when she was there. i said let's bring her to washington. ronna mcdaniel. thank you. thank you, ronna. over the last four years we built the greatest political movement in the history of our country. we achieved more than anyone thought possible, and we are just getting started. we don't want other people to rip it apart. we must re-elect kelly and david to keep it going for decades. we have spent trillions of dollars are rebuilding other foreign nations and fighting foreign wars and defending foreign borders. we want to defend our own border. and we are now protect our nation, rebuilding our cities and bringing our jobs, our factories and our troops back home to the usa where they belong, thank you. bringing them home. not easy to bring them home. i bring them home and they say, sir, we have got to keep them there, sir

david david. important issues that we haven't discussed so far on how the the media manage with big tech the weeks before the election in in favor of the biden campaign and of the democrats on the side it didn't do too well for the democrats that are but that's a topic for another program there were 50. now national intelligence officials that came out in politico and debunked they said this is just. the asli reminiscent of russia meddling in the in the politics in the united states number one where all 50 of them given access to this information i doubt it because none of them quoted it but what the interesting thing is that when we come to today over the last few days when the when it was revealed that in fact hunter is under investigation for tax issues and maybe others where do these 50 intelligence officials stand right now are they just liars but i mean i can't speak to the 50 individuals because i don't know about that but you're going back to something earlier it's not that i would say i don't what do you think i mean you can agree with me or just a great thing you can continue but i mean so i have you know the media people they're not too bright and you know and they're paid so much money to do whatever they're told and their careers are on the line i get that ok the democrats will do anything for power ok but now i'm talking about people that say they have a commitment to the national security of the united states that have probably a 1000 years collectively in careers here and they came out and said i find that terribly dangerous oh. going to agree and disagree with me but i think that's an important point no 100 percent but if i say without commenting on that all you need to do to understand that is to go look at the michael flynn judicial saga as i age and doctoring documents in order to get the pfizer warrants that they want against their political adversaries to pursue their political adversaries while you know everything else they slip under the rug so it's easy to understand how and why it can happen once you fully appreciate as i do now having documented the michael flynn saga how weaponized and how corrupt the invent the of the prosecutorial system is itself and for people don't appreciate this the f.b.i. you have the f.b.i. attorney in michael flynn altering the documents to facilitate obtaining a pfizer warrant against him against a quarter page and now you can ask how the same agents of justice can potentially be so partisan and so politicized themselves that they will weaponize their own prosecutorial process or weaponized not investigating it explains itself easily without knowing exactly what those 50 individuals said yeah but you don't think joe did in danger and didn't see that one of the things i've noticed since the 2016 election all the way to the present here is that both parties have let the neo cons in ok and if it infiltrated both parties and so ok for to get joe across the line these 50 individuals made a judgement call for the cause for the cop their cause ok not the cause of democracy here but that didn't make that event itself opens the door to well what happens when another president or another official doesn't follow the line then you're going to have to 50 wise people again and politicos saying i'm see and then everyone will regret it one day everyone will when you hand the keys of power like that to an elected officials and people that are in the revolving door of the military industrial complex that make so much money here 3 election cycles in a row people are against wars. but it doesn't seem to matter because of those 50 people and people of their ilk go ahead joe well peter teligent agencies around the world engage in deception. which is a polite word for lying as you've been calling it the the problem is journalists are supposed to be doing the opposite it's when they act as a conduit as a laundering of intelligence information because some people are skeptical of what intelligence agencies say but less what the new york times says so if the times is reporting on a 5th unnamed intelligence official saying this that or the other and this is another bipartisan think the republican and democratic media vault except these kinds of leaks from official leaks from intelligence sources and they believe it they don't challenge it they don't have skepticism why because the publishers of these major media have the same class and elite interests as intelligent people are pushing and therefore they like to create so-called enemies or exaggerate threats abroad and cover up u.s. aggression around the world and this is willingly done by sycophantic journalists who are careerists who are going to go along and not rock that boat if they want to get ahead so we've got a real problem journalist i expect intelligence agencies to lie i expect journalists to challenge and debunk those lies but they don't they're just becoming an appendage of the teligent sages that's very dangerous situation to have an journalism is over when that happens you know it joe you since you brought up the illegal coup the overthrow of a democratically elected president in ukraine i've been saying ever since this ridiculous russia gate hoax was invented is that the playbook that the that was played out in ukraine is being played out in the united states right now and you know up until you know under actually is under investigation it was working it really was working. i mean if you look at public opinion. you know i go across the media spectrum here a lot of people still believe in all this stuff and even after the mother report after everything fell apart and every single thing fell apart and they still believe that the new york times is running it i think as on the 13th of this month another story about how russia had its hacking american infrastructure here they can't let it go steve let me. you know steve we have to worry about the implication of the intelligence community here because they have their own agenda too like i said maybe that you know they threw their hat in. with joe here maybe no great lover enthusiasm here but it was all because of trump but we are politics is not always going to be about trump for good or worse ok but again this precedent has been set and no one is being held accountable go ahead economy and brennan and the rest of them they could not have pulled an obama and i want to stress what i believe is the importance of obama pulling the strings for the leading up to trump taking over the 4 years during trump's presidency and the fact that he arranged for everybody to drop out of that democratic primary race and give it some biden and take them out howard and he's taking the agenda and he's going around by the way running as both talking about how basically freedom of the press and conservative media is that is the number one threat to democracy so let's see where that leads since he's calling the shots but this could not have happened without the partnership if we had a real enemy as we have been imagined with all these years of media that journalists looking into certain things questioning and being not biased this number could have happened we would have known the truth these people rather than how accountable but now like you said to me she was there is gone there is no meeting and there is no bumper zone and run trouble this isn't going federal this country as bad existed really does not exist. and peter going to talk i mean talking about running covered you have i think it was n.b.c. having come you know per run cover for epstein for years when they knew the story it's beyond it's actually beyond not reporting on the story that you have are killing the story it's actually contradicting what is a known fact internally like they did with this hunter biden thing it's not just at the center of the links they also ran stories simultaneously saying it's russia this information when they knew internally that it wasn't and so and even as recently as i think it was yesterday n.b.c. running a header saying you know confirming hunter is under criminal probe and then the next line of me repeats that donald trump and his allies repeated baseless claims about hunter corruption during the election they still try to spin it in a way that they know that the people who they have either successfully fooled or who don't want to know better or going to just digest and feel good about having read it you know joe let's go to the next step now because there is an investigation and. i'm sure. i don't want to speculate about a scene that no one really knows what they're been looking at been looking at for a while here but they would be president if he's inaugurated next month he's going to be very vulnerable and who's who's going to who's going to be threatening him the intelligence community ok all over again ok and you know considering the frailty of the man and other issues that he has here i wouldn't be surprised that in spring you know they say you know joe we got a real problem here ok we've got a real problem the same thing of the january conversation they call me had with obama and and of the way i look at it no heiress will do anything for anybody ok so i meet it the the nexus of all this is who's doing me investigating now i guess you could get an attorney general that will be pliant but then again you know . we see this constant destruction of institutions here and on top of that there are people who want to put trump in jail ok ask your he needs the presidency this is all happening in a short amount of turning people reviled george w. bush people written by richard nixon but we have been. there we have to move on ok this everything is changing now it's because of the intelligence community and their capture of the media and strangely both parties go ahead yeah well they're also the meddling in domestic affairs which is really the big issue here i'm not sure i agree that they will cause problems for biden because i think biden is going to let go along with what the intelligence agencies want and i think that's why he was the safe man for them i do think that the republicans will be well practiced payback for russia gate i think this is one of the reasons trump decided not to concede because because the democrats tried to undermine and the election of trump and to try to undermine his presidency try to diligent him ice him and this is what i think republicans will now try to do to biden as payback and hunted by and they may very well be with especially if the republicans control the senate. they will have continued to control the senate they will have investigations there and i think that they will try to make a mess out of that if there's not a special prosecutor like i said before by may be facing having to fire the 2nd process you know. what do you guys think about it one minute left here steve should there be a press a special prosecutor oh absolutely you know made up of biden at a top of position but if i'm going to fire anybody in the media where we're doing partly bat an eye on telling you they will hardly bat an eye and i want to make a different prediction i actually think if there's going to be calls for impeachment or removal and i think there will be i think is going to come from the left i think when this cat is out of the bag the left is going to say it's too big to put back in there's only one solution. for this it's either step down or we remove you and it's going to be president come on horace within a year well i mean i did i said to agreement david i mean she was the chosen one she just the problem is that nobody liked her ok she was annoying good but nobody liked her and now they've found a way to get her past the line and i think it makes perfect sense here at the end of the day no one loves joe there was no in louisiana and he was pulled across the line not by voters in my opinion in my opinion but by the media and by these deep speaker errors as all the time we have gentlemen i want to thank my guests montreal new york and in sydney and i want to thank our viewers for watching as you're r.t.c. next time remember. problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we see
