joining us is alyssa farah, the communications director under president trump who stepped down at theer. i appreciate your willingness to come on and talk to us. you left in early december because you say you saw what was coming. what did you fear? >> thanks for having me. first and foremost i want to say what happened at the capitol was unacceptable, unamerican, undemocratic and any republican, democrat, person of any political stripes needs to be able to denounce it in the staunchest terms. but i will tell you this, my -- i had growing concerns about the fact that i felt like we were misleading the public with this endeavor to say that the election was stolen. there began with being legitimate questions about fraud, about irregularities. this happens with most national elections and obviously when you're doing significant mail-in voting, but we had paths for recourse, you know, more than 60 cases that went before different courts, many with conservative judges and it became abundantly clear we just didn't win. and that's okay. that's foundational to a democracy. but when you have th

look, i appreciate your guest before alyssa farah, but i think she misses the point. the rebuilding of the rerepublican party post trump, this is not a left versus right situation anymore. when you have liz cheney from this right conservative political dynasty who aligns with establishment democrats on so many issues including war. you begin to understand that this political realignment we're looking at is not left versus right. it's insiders versus outsider. donald trump was the insider and he loved his base and he fought for middle america. people who had no power in the system and that's why they love him. they aren't involved in some hero worship whatever the media is trying to perceive this to be. they're not stupid. they just understand this guy is rich enough egotistical enough to not give a damn what's going on in washington and fight for them. >> trace: i want to move on if i can to d.c. mayor mural bowser calling for d.c. to become a state. watch her. >> first we must get statehood on the president's desk within the first 100 days of the 117th congress. cong

let's bring in former white house communications director alyssa farah on that. see you this morning and thank you for being here. a lot of excitement and anticipation this week. considering the early voting numbers, would you be concerned since obviously we typically see early voting lean democrat at what we're seeing so far? >> good to be with you. the numbers track with what we were anticipating. democrats have made a huge effort to try to enlist first-time new voters in this georgia senate runoff. they've brought out celebrities to help rally support particularly from students and first-time voters. what i can tell your viewers the georgia republican party has an extremely strong ground game in the state and we're very enthusiastic and feeling good about the support we'll see on election day. i say we should keep our eyes on those numbers. it shows there is huge momentum on both sides. we should be able to match and beat them on actual election day. >> sandra: mark levin making it clear to his listeners how important it is they go out and vote. listen. >> you

want to know their story and for migrants farah find a compromise bill information for migrants. of the 3 coronavirus vaccines currently in use 2 were developed here in europe you may think that gives europeans a home team advantage when it comes to getting back to nate where you'd be very wrong astra zeneca and pfizer have both cut the amount that they promised to deliver today the european union demanded an explanation from astra zeneca that answer is now fueling suspicions that doses purchased by europe for europe are being diverted to buyers outside of europe i'm for golf in berlin this is the day.

free of charge, and we looked at the statistics and who is using that program, and we found it is by farah majority of -- by far a majority of women and people from other underserved and diverse backgrounds which thrilled us. and also it's people within the first five years of their career. so we think this is really working where poem come to us -- people come to us, they maybe have a certificate or a technical high school degree or an associate's degree from a community college, they can take college classes while they're being trained at guardian and earn a college degree without undertaking that bone-crushing debt that we sometimes hear. and it really helps us to make our population much more reflect i have of the communities -- reflective of the communities in which we live expect people we serve. so it's a win-win-win. it's a win for the employee, it's a win for our customers, and it's a win for guardian. >> so -- [inaudible] as you know, and we sometimes have to have our clients look at people a little bit differently. and you're, i think, suggesting that there's going to be a skill

you heard the former white house communications director alyssa farah making that statement earlier today on "new day." but one thing is clear is that impeachment is more likely than invoking the 25th amendment and that is because at this point a source close to the vice president is telling us that vice president mike pence is highly unlikely to support efforts to use the 25th amendment with a majority of the cabinet members to strip the president of his presidential powers. but what is clear is that at least two cabinet members i'm told just yesterday were having conversations with other members of the cabinet discussing the possibility of demanding a cabinet meeting to confront the president about his behavior and hanging over that meeting would be this idea of the 25th amendment. all of that, those calls for resignation, these discussions among members of the cabinet, resignations from two cabinet members, secretary of transportation elaine chow and secretary of education betsy devos, all of that factored into the president's decision to ultimately release that video last night in whi
