you think ilhan omar, that's one of the reasons we're going to win minnesota because of ilhan omar. how the hell did she get elected? she's got a little group of people. didn't she harvest, i heard she ballot harvested, didn't she? where is our justice department. she ballot -- everybody's telling me stories. they have a great writer in minnesota and he writes stories about her volumes and nothing ever happens to her. ilhan omar. she's harvesting ballots. it's illegal, right? they have a story. so where the hell -- why aren't they looking at her? if i did that, they'd be looking at me. they'd be looking at anybody here. it's a disgrace. hon ofestly, it's a disgrace. and aoc, right, aoc, didn't she steal $2 million out of her campaign? didn't aoc steal $2 million out of her campaign? so why aren't they looking at her? why aren't they looking at her? justice department. the justice department. they should be looking at -- she stole $2 million out of her campaign, aoc plus three, right? it's unbelievable. this election is a choice between the biden depression -- because you will have a

one of them, congresswoman ilhan omar, has been a frequent target of president trump's name calling andks which she says frequently lead to threats of violence against her. but now omar has been overwhelmingly reelected and donald trump has not been. the president's loss came after years of consistent fearmongering over progressive ideals, a tactic he used to scare his base and divide the nation. joining me now is minnesota congresswoman representative ilhan omar. good morning, congresswoman and congresswoman-elect, you have won again. i worry that you will have to find a new place to live by virtue of the fact that you have been living largely rent-free in the president's mind. he brought you up at almost every rally in recent weeks. he's got a real obsession with you. >> good morning to you, ali. it's a great day, isn't it, to wake up knowing that the president realizes you don't pick a fight with a somali woman. >> let's talk about the one thing that the president never got to in talking about you, is sort of what you stand for and the part of the party that you represent, the progre

ilhan omar, congresswoman omar just said it's mcconnell, not us. >>> up ahead, president trump still refusing to concede the election. how long will this drag on? what are the consequences? election law analyst richard hasson will explore some of the possible outcomes. >>> plus, good news in the fight against covid. pfizer says early analysis has found its vaccine to be 90% effective, but distributing the vaccine, that's going to take a major effort because the temperature required for storage is cold. think south pole on a winter day cold. we've got the doctor who's heading up the clinical trials here today. >>> and on election day in an extraordinary move oregon voted to decriminalize possession of small amounts of heroin and other street drugs. could this be the beginning of the end of america's decades long war on drugs? i had shingles. horrible. a young thing like me? actually anyone 50 or over is at increased risk for shingles. the pain, the burning! my husband had to do everything for weeks. and the thing is, there's nothing you can do about it! shingles can be prevented. shin

i can't comment on ilhan omar's remarks but i don't know the context in which those words were said. >> some protests in washington turned violent, we were very critical of the president and condemned some of those proud boys, those right-wing groups. we've not heard as much outcry against some of the violence there, have democrats been silent and should president biden do more to condemn. [inaudible] >> i think the vice president elect has done a tremendous job during the campaign to make it hurt. loading and writing are not peaceful protesting. we support peaceful protesting and we condemn all forms of violence, no matter where it originates. the problem that we confront is that the hater in chief has not done that. the place footsie with white supremacists, with the proud boys, the boogaloo boys, the good old boys, the jim crow boys and the out-of-control boys area all the time. but again, a long national nightmare is ending on january 20 and so we feel good aboutwhere we are . we will have a president who will bring us together, not one who constantly tears us apart.

alexandria ocasio-cortez and ilhan omar anti-jewish.he third issue, how would this impact the working class? we talked a lot on this program about immigration. when immigrants come across the border who can't speak english, they take jobs from those with high school educations and that depresses wages. the green new deal. they want to phase out the timber industry. that hurts farmers. what they believe also hurts the middle-class and the working class. my god, the trade agreement. why over 50 years that joe biden has been in washington every trade agreement benefitted china and the folks on wall street, but the towns where folks are watching this program, they are dying. we get cheap crap at wal-mart and get injected with booze and opiates. they are getting money from the big tech people. that won't change. democrats won't change the hand that feeds them. that's the 4th reason why democrats won't change who they are. >> tucker: that's a really smart analysis. thank you. well, if the corporate hologram known as joe biden wins big tech wi

we have democrat representative ilhan omar from minnesota, she called to completely dismantle the minneapolise department. she is saying that was a just a republican narrative, that radical movements are to blame for democrat losses but she does say that defund the police movement, quote, complicated the races for democrats in swing districts. alexandria ocasio-cortez says defund the police, that nobody campaigned on that, but you know, she tried to downplay on that. we know that nobody really outright campaigned on it but the electorate reacted to it, voters react to it, they don't want defund the police in many cities that are seeing crime going up. remember we had in july squad members ayanna pressley and rashida tlaib both backed legislation to strip federal funding for police departments. it seems like the squad is running away from the prior positions. what do you think? >> i don't think they're running away from those positions at all. i think they are very intent on continuing -- elizabeth: they're trying to downplay them. they're trying to downplay it now. >> but they have been very

but let's not forget that the house, congresswomen like alexandria ocasio-cortez, ilhan omar have beenush around nancy pelosi. and if you think that joe biden is stronger than nancy pelosi, i think you should realize that the left is going to be able to push biden to the places where they want him to as they have been saying repeatedly. >> dana: biden might want to build a wall between the white house and capitol hill. >> republican senators. >> dana: richard and katie, thank you so much. next we could be headed to another lockdown if he listens to one adviser on the coronavirus. wait until you hear what he says. non-valvular afib can mean a lifetime of blood thinners. and if you're troubled by falls and bleeds, worry follows you everywhere. over 100,000 people have left blood thinners behind with watchman. it's a one-time, minimally invasive procedure that reduces stroke risk-- and bleeding worry--for life. watchman. it's one time. for a lifetime. deign the coronavirus surging in the united states. officials reported more than 140,000 new cases yesterday. that's another new record. th

axios is reporting that representatives alexandria ocasio-cortez of new york and ilhan omar of minnesota petition against mr. biden appointing his former chief of staff, bruce reed, to lead the office of management and budget. how much pressure do you think joe biden is going to be under in this regard, particularly since some of this public criticism theoretically could alienate some of these members from the white house before he even takes the oath of office? >> well, i hope it doesn't. you know, it's -- i think it's incumbent upon the president and new administration to recognize that there were a lot of young people and a lot of progressives that took a chance on their presidency even if some may not have wanted or may have wanted another candidate, they came out, they took a chance on his presidency and on his campaign because it was important to have someone as you alluded to, as susan alluded to earlier, more presidential in the white house. and i hope that they have an open-door policy and make sure that all voices are heard. so i understand from an administrative standpoint tha

ilhan omar, rashida tlaib, showed up and made sure people showed up to vote, so we are asking you to us. >> mike: talk about g.o.p. gains in the house with one of the women who helped make happen, representatives of-elect for california's 48th district, michelle steel. michelle, congratulations. >> thank you very much, and thank you for inviting me today. >> mike: what was your key for success when they predicted it might be a tough election? >> stick to the issues. i am a product of an american dream and this is my first election, and i worked really hard. while my opponent was just attacking me, i just stick to the issues, like stop defunding or dismantling police. actually, orange county law enforcement -- at the same time, you know what, people are very much tired. during this covid, they were fighting about the mask were not wearing mask. 20-30% of the businesses in orange county are not coming back, so we really have to lower taxes, less regulations. we have to really promote and help small businesses, so i have a proven record when i was at the state, i returned more than $400

and the grassroots base of the democratic party is much more with alexandria ocasio-cortez and ilhan omar democrat leadership and nancy pelosi represents very unpopular positions, even more unpopular than some of the things aoc talks about and she represents giving billionaires and transnational corporations whatever they want. she represents a status quo in washington dc and this might be nancy pelosi's last term as speaker and i think it's almost guaranteed that republicans will take back the house in 2022 if they represent the same coalition that president trump built, as you wonderfully said last week or two weeks ago, steve, multiracial working person coalition that represents normal people and the demands that they want with their government was strong community, strong family and not massive corporations pairing with their government. steve: by the way, we will have a lot to say about that in the weeks and months ahead. lisa, looking at what the house is there right now the other part of this is the incredible contrast with the republican party that is completely reenergized and no

this is ilhan omar yesterday. >> we have seen things like increasing the minimum wage when as a ballotwhile some democrats lost. we saw policies like legalizing marijuana win in montana and other places. our policies are resonating with the american people. and if our big tent democratic party wants to govern on behalf of all americans, we should have a seat at the table. >> jamal bowman is a congressman elect in new york city. he's now the projected winner from the general election on tuesday. congratulations. first. let's start there. >> thank you, thank you so much, john. great to be with you. >> you're going to come to washington and instantly be put in the middle of a family. it's like a big thanksgiving dinner and everybody gets together and you're a family and occasionally people get fights. a new colleague is abigail spamberger a moderate from a district president trump carried before she won re-election but a couple friends lost and she's not happy and blames progressives. listen. >> not only did we not win the senate but we lost house seats that we shouldn't have lost, in my
