it's not just hunter biden, it's joe biden's brother, joe biden's sister and joe biden. joe biden. if we were democrats, if we were in the media today, we be calling for an impeachment committee right now. right? there's so much corruption here with the biden family, with the media, with the democrat party, so much power-hungry justifying the means activity going on in this country. it is frightening. i wanted to bring peter schweitzer on so we could dig more deeply into this by calling it the biden family, really. joe biden is on top of it. the idea that joe biden didn't know what he was son or brother was doing, didn't know what other family members were doing, we have an individual whose come forward and said wait a minute, i met with joe biden for an hour, he knows what's going on. he wants a percentage of the action that would take place with respect to china. so to put meat on these bones, i want to bring in our friend, peter schweitzer, his latest buck a few months ago, profiles in corruption. his is not the only buck that takes a look at the bidens and others in washington

joe biden, get used to it. committed patient -- joe biden's communications team called it shameful, sexist. they called on "wall street journal" to remove it and to issue an apology and northwestern called mr. epstein's comments misogynistic and they removed his profile from the website and all of this also -- joe biden responded to it as well. she responded in a tweet saying this about young daughters everywhere. she said -- she said "together we will build a world where the accomplishments of our daughters will be celebrated rather than diminished," but this is the kicker for me. if you go through and read all of the articles outlining this, you know, fake controversy that happened, they all use the ap -- they all know that they use ap style, which does not -- which is notdo used doctor to refer to academic rentals, which is precisely the point that joseph epstein was making in his column, so this is what i think is absolutely hilarious. there's all this uproar when that's precisely the point he was making an

and that's why they deliberately biden majority the joe biden supporters didn't even like joe biden they just repeated the media talking point that joe biden was the only person who can be tropp their. yes that joe biden isn't reasonable or moderate when you actually judge what the policy preferences of american voters are majority 88 percent of democrats support medicare for all for instance and 50 percent of republicans approximately do as well overwhelming majority of americans support marijuana legalization joe biden doesn't a significant percentage of joe biden voters actually mis understood him but he did support care for all probably because he kept saying things like health care is a human right when he had no intention of providing it so the reality is that bernie sanders in contrast had the largest donor base in the party without taking any corporate money more individuals wanted to raise and any president in american history and more black voters gave to his campaign than ever in american history he won the 1st 3 primary contests including the battle with 70 percent of th

let's go back to joe biden specifically. specifically is accused of taking a cut or is to receive a cut, a big cut of the money that hunter biden is negotiating yet out of the communist chinese front companies. can you explain that further? >> yet, it is interesting that this confirms the e-mails on the laptop because tony bobulinski who is on that e-mail chain has the same e-mails which proves that they are genuine and true. the deal is very simple. he was brought into set up a company that was going to be funded by a chinese energy company with the links to the chinese military and they were going to put in an initial investment of $10 million and it was just seed capital and it was going to be a so-called infrastructure fund and when they broke out who was going to get what ownership stake of the company it made reference to setting aside 10% for quote unquote, the big guy. bobulinski has lots of good indications that he shared with me, e-mails, texts where joe biden is referred to as the big guy or the quote, unquote chai

tucker: this is joe biden. >> joe biden, yes. after that, i went over to the peninsula hotel and i sat with jim biden for two hours where jim biden walked through his history and his own of words of, stating all the work and effort he did to get joe biden elected initially in delaware and then through the family history and the role that had he played in it. and in that meeting, remember i'm the son of a naval officer. i was a naval officer myself. and a because i held a q clearance t equivalent of a top secret clearance, we're audited every year. if you receive a gift, i think the barrier was $25. anything larger than $25, we had to disclose it to the government because obviously anybody with a clearance, the government is watching closely that they're not influenced by the russians, the iranians, the chinese and stuff like that. so as i was listening to jim walk through this, i have a big heart. if you talk to anybody who knows me, they would weigh in on that. i'm a kind person. and i'm thinking about the biden family, like how

joe biden.wanted you to know that he doesn't crave power or because he seeks to hold and which has relatives or because he has a vast empty space inside that only the adulation of strangers can fill. no, not at all. he ran for president because he deeply cares about you. joe biden is a paternal figure, really. you might even call him the father of this nation. of course, that would make kamala harris the permanent stepmother which doesn't quite have the reassuring ring to it. but whatever, details are not important right now appeared what matters, joe biden wants you to know, is that this is a democracy. always has been, always will be. by electing biden and the small secretive group of billionaires that choreograph his every move, this country has become even more democratic. small seat democratic of course. and that is reassuring to hear. nondemocratic impressions. just the other day, for example, bill gates announced that the lockdowns are going to have to continue for a long, long time. keep

and then t joe biden take -- and then to see president-elect joe biden getting the vaccine o en dr.i taking theer m vaccinepr and vicident elect harris a black woman taking e vaccine,. the message thathat will send in ensing confidence and trust in taking this sex scene and to realing americans participateop in what isully going to be our new normal. listen, at the beginning of e spring, the mantra was that we were all in this together. that was an openuestion that did not bear out this year and for the biden-harris administration, that is a message theykill try to p back up. robert: the police killing of georgeloyd roiledat then. within days, protests spread nationwide but not just in his name. killed by two blac -- two white men while he was jogging in a neighborhood. >> it is time for us to stand up in the name of george and to sa -- get your name off our next -- get your knee o our nec>>. police are trying to disperse peaceful protests near the white house. >> the investigation announced today over the use of federal force in portland and elsewhere came as many cities pushed t b

ten more into joe biden. another of the flips for joe biden. michigan coming later in the day. pennsylvania, georgia, michigan, wisconsin, five big flips that give joe biden his victory. wolf, looking at this hour, beginning of the campaign, trump campaign said we are making a play in minnesota. trump campaign said we're making a play in new mexico, didn't happen. this is a more traditional map back to the 1990s, early 2000s, wisconsin, state supreme court today again saying go away to lawsuits trying to challenge this. so the allegations are pushed into the rearview mirror as we reaffirm democracy and the basic math of the election. no doubt where the outcome will be the end of the day. last hour, this hour, building blocks of joe biden's victory being reinforced as electors cast ballots. >> third time in the state of wisconsin they told the president and supporters go away, not happening. the legitimacy of the vote is there. stand by, want to go back to jake. >> today is another sign of finality in the 2020 race with president trump on the heels of dozens of legal losses. let

and joe biden did. he hasn't fabricated evidence to get wire taps on joe biden's campaign staff. he hasn't started calling for the impeachment before joe biden even might take the oath of office. that's what the democrats did after 2016, so you can spare me the crocodile tears from all these democrats about breaking norms. they're the ones breaking norms four years ago. brian: right, so what was the president's reaction when mitch mcconnell called him and does he believe the fights over? >> yeah, i couldn't have said that better myself, what senator cotton just said right there. this president, you know, he's made clear his thoughts about leader mcconnell on twitter, and our founders set in place a constitution that had a process for becoming president and one step in that process is the electors voting. one step in that process is certifying the election at the county level and state level and another step in that process is congress confirming the results ultimately ending on january 20. they put in p

who do you want to believe the facts or joe biden? n tony bobulinski did that interview can w. tucker carlson he said that he had a conversation with james biden and asked him, know, around the you concerned that this business rhythm that you as a family have with this company linked to the chinese communist party could be a political liability for joe biden if he runs for president again? and james biden said that you know, joe biden would simply just have plausible didn't on his side. so isn't that an admission of guilt that he shouldn't -- his family shouldn't have been involved with this company? >> what it is is typically how d.c. operates and how people are dishonest operate. it's thought that you're telling the truth. it's that you can deny it and get away with it. it's not what you do, it's that you are not convicted for it, therefore it didn't happen. this is what happens when you prof tier off government and you lead a family that profit tears with little or no expertise. joe biden's brother did not have expertise to build ho

nikita williams. >> i cast my vote for president joe biden. >> kathy willard. i am pleased to announce joseph r. biden received 16 votes for president of the united states. >> first time since 1992 the state of georgia cast electoral votes for democratic presidential candidate. you see stacey abrams, former gubernatorial candidate in georgia, reading roll call there. all 16 electoral votes, all 16 electoral votes in georgia going to joe biden right now. jake, this is a historic moment we saw in georgia. one of the states you well know, the president and his supporters have targeted, so many others decided to let democracy work. >> president trump is going after them because they followed the law, allowed votes of georgians to count. we should take a moment and acknowledge what we saw with stacey abrams, former leader of the state legislature. gubernatorial candidate who lost in 2018 and there she named a bunch of victims of police violence and talked about the electors. a rare moment. georgia doesn't cast electors for democrats often. >> no. not at all. i think

and even though it is notable that the senate majority leader is acknowledging joe biden as president-elect, you can also make the case that it shouldn't be all that remarkable and shouldn't be all that notable given that biden and harris have been the apparent winners now for more than a month. and so i think the immediate test once we get beyond the platitudes is how will they work together? in the event that mitch mcconnell retains his role as senate majority leader, we don't know they will. but joe biden has called for this congress to pass a co-vid relief now. and then he wants them to do it again after he's sworn in. a more substantive, larger bill. so that is an immediate heavy lift. and so we will have to see the degree to which, if mitch mcconnell retains his leadership, he is willing to work with a biden administration. that will be the test. not what he says on the senate floor today. >> that is a fair point. and again, as we are living in this breaking news here, senator mitch mcconnell, you watched it live here on the air saying he congratulates president-elect joe biden. his a

i 1000% sit here and know that the big guy is referencing joe biden, that's crystal clear to me becauset, i met with the former vice president in person multiple times, and i have been meeting and talking with hunter biden and jim biden and james. what the media has tried to hide and i feel it's disgusting is between that may 13 e-mail in the final document that was keep in jan executed called oneida holdings llc. that equity is broken up 20% hunter biden, 20% jim biden, m,their llcs that represented them, 20% james, 20% rob walker and 20% me and my investment. but i would ask the american people to read and look at how, from may 13 to the final night of the document from jim biden go from 10% owner to 20% owner. that's not my question to answer, i'm sure there were discussions within the biden family, i wasn't privy to that discussion, but this is jim biden, the brother of the potential future president of the united states. it's not a distant cousin, is not an employee, it's his brother who, in documents defined himself as a political advisor to his brother so i will leave that to the

biden joe -- joseph and kamala debbie harris. we are electors, and also a better-- servants of georgia, servants of a better future, and servants of the united states of america. host: and not long after, the georgia electors casting their 16 votes for joe biden for president of the united states. 270-vote crossing the threshold and going on to 306 electoral votes. that number of firms by the electoral college -- affirmed by the el toro college yesterday. statements last night, been described in "washington post" today as a second acceptance speech in his remarks from wilmington, delaware. a picture from "the washington post," joe biden greeting his wife after that speech. nancy, rochester, indiana. republican, good morning. caller: yes. i have watched trump before he got in the office, and i have watched him come in the office, and i watched them people get humiliated, and even their young its got humiliated, and wasn't right. trump done what he could, he done his best, and he done better than any other president has done. nancy

ever wonder how joe biden really asked when he thinks no one is listening? meeting with black activists, it wasn't supposed to be recorded. they are not happy with joe. >> a lot of people in our community are anxious because they are not seeing enough of the progress they thought they would have seen. >> let's get it straight, you shouldn't be disappointed. what i've done so far is more than anybody else has done thus far. number one. number two, i mean what i say, when i say it. i mean what i say when i say it. i'm the only person who's ever run on three platforms that i was told could not possibly win the election. one was on restoring the soul of this country because what i saw happen in charlottesville. jesse: ned ryun, founder and ceo and charlie kirk, pounding of turning.usa. ned, do you think joe is angry? that was the same day he found out his son was in investigation? [laughter] >> i think we are just seeing the real joe biden, the cranky old phony angry white man was a 50 year inhabitant of the swamp was decided he's not going to listen to anybody,

regularly with the president who said no, the president is not moving in the direction of accepting that joe biden will be the next president, despite the electoral college putting biden over the top today. i did talk to a separate white house adviser who said, listen, the president privately acknowledges that he is is not going to have a second consecutive term as president, that he lost this election to joe biden, even though he's out there, publicly claiming that he was cheated out of a second term and fund-raising and siphoning money. that duality is going to continue to exist. in addition to that, wolf. i should note this adviser also scoffed at the notion and we heard this he cechoed earlier t by the domestic policy adviser to the president, stephen miller, that the president and his team would somehow -- republicans would somehow send a, quote, alternate slate of electors to the house of representatives to be counted on january 6th. this adviser said, quote, unquote, whatever, to that idea. and so there are people inside the president's team of allies and advisers who are really scoffing at

refused to honor our constitution. >> so, abby, who is the audience here exactly and how do you think joe biden takes that message for the next 36 days until he's sworn in? >> i think the audience in the biden view is the majority of americans who are reasonable and know that what has been going on is a complete farce. i think that this is a message that represents a shift for biden from where he was several years ago when he was willing to give republicans, many of whom he intends to work with, some space to figure out the politics around this, to figure out the politics of president trump, but now it's shifting into a new gear and joe biden is going to be the next president of the united states and he's speaking for, you know, the 7 million more americans who voted for him, but also the many who are watching this situation and they're wondering what on earth is going on? and since when in this country do we try to disenfranchise tens of millions of voters just because you don't like losing. i think there is a clear majority of americans who understands that that's ridiculous. that's who he is

and they were pulling him in different directions. >> my name's joe biden. emocratic nominee for president of the united states of america. >> in iowa, an early caucus state that mattered most, biden was bunched with others near the top of the polls but his attention was split. >> there was a mismatch between the expectation of joe and what was going on in the campaign, the sort of basic stuff wasn't getting done. >> but that was nothing compared to what unfolded next. >> live from the iowa state fairgrounds in des moines, election '88. >> at the end of a key debate at the iowa state fair, biden used some of his stump speech which included quotes from british politician neil kinic. a populist life story, politically compelling. but it wasn't biden's life. and it was delivered without any attribution. >> why is it that joe biden -- >> what am i, the first kinic in a thousand generations -- >> the first in his family. >> to be able to get to university. >> ever to go to a university. >> i mean he had given that speech 25, 30 times, and in every case he had attr

georgia is certifying joe biden's win, which they did once again today when joe biden won the second recount of votes in georgia after winning the previous two counts of the votes in georgia. republican house speaker in pennsylvania being responsible and faithful to the oath of office when he's on the phone telling donald trump that there is absolutely nothing that he can do and that the legislature can do to reverse the results in pennsylvania. arizona's governor certifying the election results showing joe biden won and facing an attack from donald trump for doing that. we have 74 million trump voters in this country quietly, peacefully, calmly staying at home, decorating their christmas trees, watching football games and accepting the fact -- not enjoying the fact -- but accepting the fact that joe biden is going to be the next president of the united states and kamala harris is going to be the next vice president of the united states. we have a few dozen people here and there around the country who will go out, not just to protest joe biden's win but to demand that the results of

biden seems to be doom and gloom. we might call him no of hope joe. no-hope jo. tement were nothing to fear but fear itself, biden's mantra seems to be we have everything to fear, especially fear itself. what kind of leadership is that? why isn't he hailing as a christmas miracle this amazing vaccine? >> you know, gregg, for a leader to lead people through a crisis, he has to both inform and inspire. he has to find that perfect balance between realism and optimism like one son churchill did -- winston churchill did, for example. joe didn't find that balance. it was much too heavy on the doom and gloom and not enough hope. i am glad that he created president trump, as president trump should receive lots of credit, for his excellent leadership if corporation warp speed and bringing this vaccine to fruition. joe should have talked more about that. and, you know, as we come to christmas, gregg, i'd point out one other thing when we think about what happened in bethlehem 2,000 years ago. when you're doing an evaluation of a situation, it's always a mistake to leave god

me with your time, sir, have a good afternoon. >> glad to do it. >>> as we await president-elect joe biden in georgia, nbc news can report that he has now selected another member of his cabinet. this according to three sources. biden will nominate pete buttigieg, former mayor of south bend, indiana, and former presidential candidate to be transportation secretary. buttigieg would be the first openly gay cabinet secretary, if confirmed. cloud easier to manag. but we didn't stop there. we made a cloud flexible enough to adapt to any size business. no matter what it does, or how it changes. and we kept going. so you only pay for what you use. because at dell technologies, we stop...at nothing. ♪ becauhelafter the yearyagies, we knwe just had,?ng. the usual gifts are just not going to cut it. so we have to find something else. good luck! what does that mean? we are doomed. (laughter) that's it. i figured it out! we're going to give togetherness. that sounds dumb. no, santa, we're going to take all those family moments that make the holidays and package them. oh, you are getting so big! woahh!

i do think that mitch mcconnell has already had conversations with joe biden and joe biden's team andhat he says publically, i'm pretty certain contradicts what he's saying privately. but the fact is today, joe biden will be the president -- or will win the presidency of the united states. again, i do think, though, over the last 40 years of joe biden working in the united states senate, working closely with mitch mcconnell, they're going to have a better working relationship than most people want to give them credit for. that doesn't mean he's going to be able to pass everything that he wants to pass. but i do believe he's going to have some ability to work with mitch mcconnell where others have not. so, you know, today is a big day in biden world. but while the united states senate may come closer to reality, there are still millions and millions and millions of americans who watch other networks, who still don't have a grasp of reality. and until people come out with some courage and are forceful in their words, the cornyns of the world -- well, he's been better but the lindsey gra

you have a person like joe biden, a politician like joe biden. just a person like joe biden who on paper is sort of tailor made for this moment. i remember having a conversation with him in early 2017. he was telling the story about how he would spend his afternoons in the senate and senator dominating the area small room, no staff, no family, no lobbyists allowed. it was senators only. they sut down and talk to each other. these gals and girls would develop a real bond. biden was telling how that room was demolished and people stopped using it. he tried to have lunch with old friends and it wasn't there anymore. how that was symbolic of america unraveling. he was very emotional talking to me about that. at his core, this is who joe biden is. he really does believe as an institutionalist in bringing these parties together and trying throer the temperature and trying to turn down the volume in washington and across the country. you do have somebody who is fit to meet this moment. i don't know that the country going to be receptive to those efforts

joe biden has won. it's embarrassing at this point that the republican party is doing this. >> and michael, joe biden made it very clear there. right? and he has said this before. but he emphasized again, i'm convinced we can work together. right? republicans, do the right thing and then let's talk. let's get things done. that's what i'm here to do. and again he said i am president for all americans, i will work just as hard for those who didn't work for me as those who did. a point he has repeatedly made. does this, michael, break through to some of the republicans who will see that address, who did see that address, who are sitting in washington right now? >> i don't think so. i think that donald trump is largely good for republican business insofar as they picked up seats in the house, seemingly maintained control of the u.s. senate, won the gubernatorial mansion in montana, gained more stitd legislatures than the democrats. the only ware they came up short, and it's a big area, i'm not minimizing it

but here they're protecting joe biden, protecting the biden family.on't forget, it has implications for joe biden's brother, joe biden's wife and hunter biden and then a ring of people that are associates of the biden family. and to sit on that before the election was an outrage. and not only did they sit on it, but some in our doj, they sat on it. they didn't let that out. gregg: right. >> if it it went the other way, they would have been all over that. you know that, i know that, all of america knows that. gregg: has to be a special come, no way out. congressman andy biggs, thanks very much. >>> coming up next, stacey abrams is one of joe biden's big allies in georgia. well, now abrams' sister is using her role as a federal judge to help democrats and her si e s in georgia runoffs. we'll take that up and more after the break with republican attorney phil kline. ♪ ♪ sanctuary music (kids laughing) (dog barking) ♪ sanctuary music it's the final days of the wish list sales event sign and drive off in a new lincoln with zero down, zero due at signing, a

in office. >> reporter: following the day a new high of covid-19 death joe biden has a message for then people. >> the first day i am inaugurated i will ask the public for 100 days to mask, just 100 days to mask, not forever, 100 days. >> biden is asking lawmakers to get behind the bipartisan kim jong un for relief bill, the top 100,000 this we, also saying he will join former president to get vaccinated against the disease as long as the vaccine is deemed safe. donald trump ailed the vaccine as a christmas miracle. >> we give thanks for all the scientists, researchers, manufacturers, workers and service members who worked tirelessly to make this breakthrough possible. it is truly a christmas miracle, one of the great achievements medically. >> mike pence is expected to meet with the centers for disease control and prevention emergency operation center personnel around noon today, this as pfizer announced it will only should have the vaccines it originally planned on this year but they tell fox news they will be ready to ship, 1.3 billion by the end of next year. >> seems like restrict

and moments ago electors in new hampshire put their four votes for joe biden and kamala harris. let's listen. >> would you now -- >> for joseph r. biden, president of the united states. and four votes cast for kamala harris for vice president of the united states. >> let's go to john berman who is following all of today's votes. break it down. exactly what is happening today and explain why. >> first of all, let me tell you where we are right now. donald trump is winning. as of 11:02 a.m. as the electoral votes come in. but i have a public service announcement for the president who has a hard time understanding this, he's not going to win over the course of the day. just because he's ahead right now he will not be ahead as the day continues. let me tell you what we'll see over the course of the next several minutes here. these are the states where the electors meet in their capitals to vote this hour. a number of states here, including and i want to highlight this, because this tells a story, the state of nevada. this is the first state we've seen today which had a relatively clo

there were accomplishments in -- and almost all of those were done with the direct involvement of joe bidening the debt ceiling. these were almost always done directly with mcconnell working with biden and if you talk to people working very close to mitch mcconnell, they're bullish about this relationship. they think biden is someone they can work with, and you hear from biden, optimism about being able to work with mcconnell, but you don't see the optimism about the senator from each party. each sees the other to work in good faith. the challenges will be enormous, but there is a real relationship, a real mcconnell/biden relationship. >> sarah, does the center of gravity shift to some moderate democrats like joe manchin of west virginia and republicans willing to buck at at least their party in some issues like in the past like susan collins and lisa murkowski of alaska? >> it, in fact, moves them to almost, like, a swing vote on the supreme court, right? they become these deal makers in the center. joe biden is the first president in a long time to come into the presidency without having

joe biden, donald trump or joaquin phoenix? that is such a crazy thing to say it must be joe biden.dy: [laughter] know your book got it wrong that was walking phoenix. and it was he did have a large croak crawling out of his scout. kevin here's your third quote he can pull into a three-way type you get this right. iowa lottery my parents, especially my mother and father. who said that, joe biden, donald trump, or the hammer head shark greg norman. >> i love norman the golfer but it's probably a trap quote. kennedy: no it was the shack, it was greg norman, what are you smuggling there man? down under his right. this is the last round, this is for all of the marbles for these are two points apiece anyone can win. chris this is your quote. by the way there's nothing better than a good old-fashioned german shepherd. he said that joe biden, donald trump, or adolf hitler? [laughter] i'm going to go with donald trump. kennedy: oh chris bedford with a commanding lead. he's not to point over his closest competitor david smith. dave this is your last quote. there is no drug users have been an

it's in the constitution, often ignored, but just to reaffirm a joe biden victory. number two, to watch this history, and number three, just to rebut, if you need a rebuttal, the things in a the president trump is saying are false, that he won the election. he did not. by 5:00 tonight on the east coast, when california puts joe biden over the top official lip. this is not the only affirmation, but another affirmation that the elects was conducted quite well and joe biden is the winner. in the 2:00 hour, ten states plus the district of columbia, if you're looking for sort of the highlights. the president will get 29 votes in florida. remember joe biden thought he could make a play in florida. there was this was just a

senate since joe biden left. i was there when joe biden was there. i was there after joe biden left, and now mitch mcconnell has trained his caucus and to some extent this applies to both parties, to let the leadership have way more power than they used to have in the old days. committee chairs don't have the power they used to have because mitch mcconnell writes the legislation in his office and then puts it on the floor. so doris, seeing how the senate has really gotten stuck this a procedural morass where they don't debate bills anymore, do you think joe can still work around that? >> you've put your finger on exactly the problem. there was a problem like that lyndon johnson faced in the house where judge smith was the leader, a congressional guy from the south, there was no way he was going to let it out of the rules committee, so they had to take it out with a discharge petition. so i guess the question is you got to figure out what the rules are. are there any way that individual congressmen and individual

that's what joe biden said at the debate.t we are about to play for you is the sum total of information that most voters in this country got about the bind family business dealings with china in the weeks before they made up their minds in this election. watch. >> there are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what he's accusing me of is a russian plan. they have said that this has all the -- five former heads of the cia both parties say what he is saying is a bunch of garbage. nobody believes it is up him an his good friend rudy giuliani. >> so 50 former intelligence folks have decided it's russian garbage! it's slavic disinformation the kremlin interfering in our democracy. the intel community decided that so throw it in the circular file. that's a familiar line you've heard many times for years. got you. if somehow you heard it recently in fact for about a month and eight days to be exact. democrats have about 0 interest in highlighting russian meddling in this election. assuming there was it wasn't effectiv

joe biden was on the ballot. hunter biden wasn't on the ballot.here is no credible evidence that joe biden personally benefited from any way from what hunter biden was doing. or that hunter did anything wrong. nepotism is not a crime. >> i would argue text messages and emails are evidence. and it has not been disputed. i think there is evidence. and of course there should be a special counsel. if it's good enough for the trump family it should be good enough for the biden family. >> i don't think the bind camp denied that joe biden met with tony bobulinski. but we have to leave it there. katrina, jessica, appreciate you guys joining me tonight. just ahead, unreasonable covid restrictions destroying small businesses. one restaurant owner is taking on the california owner himself to try to save his livelihood. >> they shut down indoor dining. no problem. i have a warehouse full of plexiglas. we went outdoors. now that's getting shut down. there is no scientific evidence that shows outdoor dining is contributing to a rise in cases. lisa: he's fightin
