let's talk about josh holly. he isn't just vowing to make one objection but challenging the election of multiple states. each challenge means a two-hour debate. how much of a hail mary is this? >> to call it a hail mary is very generous, i think. they need to just stop because honestly, he's just prolonging the process. let's say he objects to four states, right, michigan, georgia, arizona, nevada, and so on. so the contested states. pennsylvania. if he objects to those, he can add ten hours to this process but at the end of the day, by even late that night or early the next morning, joe biden will still be president. all he's doing is prolonging the process where the outcome is inevitable. >> and doing damage to the country while they're at it. >> doing damage. >> mitch mcconnell had a call with his caucus and asked senator holly to lay out his plan. holly did not respond to multiple questions from mcconnell because he apparently wasn't even on the call but he did have time to launch a small dollar fundraiser pu

that's what made josh holly a phony.ed to dress up as trump and thought there was going to be trumpism without trump. and pretended to be a fake pop list and have this attitude on twitter. it was all artificial and blown up in his face. i'm glad jason mentioned that scene where lindsey graham who has been -- he's been donald trumps flufr for four years. he's been so loyal. he's done absolutely everything. he's walking through the airport and people are saying you're a traitor. audit the vote. this is the fate. you can never be trump. you can never go back. there's no loyalty. there's always a point. that will be ted cruz. that will be josh holly's future. and an important point, there's a real cost. not just to them. but to the country. these folks were so cynical they were willing to lie to millions of americans and willing to give cover to the lies -- >> willing to let people die. yeah. >> people did. >> they were willing to let people kill a police officer. they are supposed to be the blue lives matter. they were will

josh holly says he's doing this for his constituents. >> i've heard from people like i never heard before over the last month about this election, they have major major concerns about the integrity, the fairness of this election and they expect me to raise those concerns and this is the only forum i have to do it. >> 20 senate republicans including mitch mcconnell will not object. 140 house members reportedly plan to object including new york congresswoman stephan x saying in a statement i do not take this action lightly. i'm asking to protect our

josh holly being number one among them. josh holly not caring whether or not his colleagues like him or not. there is senators like john thune, even his own home state senator who are up in 2022 and they have not been supportive of this effort, and we're expecting them to vote against it. so it is really, a dynamic that you're seeing that usually plays out behind the seens, will he get the party going to be successful? or do you see trumpism succeed long after trump is out of the white house? >> amy, about that point in the call where the president says he wants brad raffensperger to find 11780 votes, does the secretary of state's office know what the president is talking about there? was he just asking them to change the tallly? was he asking them to forge votes? was he asking them to discount that many democratic votes in order to give him the state? >> that is the question of the hour, of the news cycle. that is exactly the number of trumps that he needs added to his column to beat joe biden by one vote in georgia. so it

so just given what we're hearing from some republicans like josh holly. i think it would be difficult and unlikely for the 25th amenhment to be invoked with only a couple of weeks you know with president trump in office and you know josh holly, it's been forward that to certainly has his eyes on the prize for 2024. so. >>laying the groundwork thank you. alexandra appreciate your time tonight by the way a lot of people i think googling the 25th amendment, it's essentially an amendment to the constitution. >>in the 1960's that the cabinet vice president too essentially take the power from the president if he or she is deemed unfit to serve so there's that. >>a lot going on today, how we need to take one quick br these are real people, not actors, who've got their eczema under control. with less eczema, you can show more skin. so roll up those sleeves. and help heal your skin from within with dupixent. dupixent is the first treatment of its kind that continuously treats moderate-to-severe eczema, or atopic dermatitis, even between flare ups. dupixent is a bi

i'd like to introduce josh holly to josh holly who is leading the charge with no -- to vote against the legitimate election of joe biden. joining me now to discuss this and many other issues, republican governor mike dewine of ohio. governor, first congrats on the buckeyes. we have a lot of coronavirus and vaccine news to get to. >> very happy about that. great news. >> one small light for you there. i have to begin by asking about what's going on with your party in the electoral college vote count on wednesday. including a number of republicans from ohio. ben sass says the president and his allies by foe meanting this effort to vote against joe biden's let mat win, he says, they're, quote, pointing a loaded gun at the heart of legitimate self-government. do you agree? >> i think we need to put this into historical perspective. first, the framers of our constitution set up a system that has worked and worked exceedingly well. we do this. we do this well. second, if you go back, i was congress in 2005 when we had some democrats who wanted to challenge and did challenge ohio's election. a

there's no basis for what josh holly and his confederates planning to do. there is no predicate for this kind of dispute, because the states are actually, according to that law, which was passed in response to the really tough outcome of the 1876 election, the states are the ones who are supposed to determine the certification which is what the constitution wants and the states are supposed to be given, really, the final word and if there's no debate at the highest level of any of the states, in other words, if they don't send in two rival lists of elector l then there's nothing for congress to do but posture and that's what we're about to see on wednesday. >> mark, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, he did urge his caucus, you know, not to do this. at the same time, also say, hey, i'll allow you a vote of conscience. is this that but 2.0? i mean, is this more than he bargained for? is it potentially disruptive? >> you know, you have to wonder if mitch mcconnell is thinking to himself, is it worse than what we're in right now? could we see more defecti

>> i mean, i don't understand how ted cruz and josh holly have not resigned. they are fundraising during this, you have josh high schoolly -- holly and the way we speak about this in the media is important. it's important, people don't want to call it a coup but what else is it? if you're trying to replace the president with your choice? i don't know what else you call that if it's not domestic terrorism of a coup. the elected officials who had a job today in the constitution that they were supposed to do to official officially install the president and mitch mcconnell, too, played a role, conservative media played a role. they thought there was no downside. people around the president said what's the harm in letting him play it out? he said in december, see ya on january 6th. it's going to be wild. he knew this was coming. capitol police knew it was coming. it was heartbreaking for this congress woman making her husband aware of where her will is. donald trump is a reality show producer. he would produce entertainment today for his poll lfollowers b he's build

i am wondering once again, chuck and andrea, what is josh holly thinking right now? what is ted cruz thinking right now? are they reconsidering what they have decided to do today? are they reconsidering their actions? light of the safety of themselves and their colleagues and everybody who works in that capitol building being put at risk, because these protestors don't believe that the election was fair? >> it is just stunning that this incident was incity dastiinstig president of the united states two hours ago. >> these protestors are in an area where people are not supposed to be. up the steps and surrounding both floors. they have these flags with flag poles and -- >> and they're dangerous weapons, it can be used as weapons. you know the senate well. i assume you a memory of anything near like this? >> no. >> we just saw protestors walking through statuary hall. they're going through nap is the area -- >> is that the walt whitman camera camtupturing those? >> i'm not sure, but that is the area where the senators process to go into the house for joint sessions. so

josh holly has come out of very clearly against democracy today. >> senator holly's move is in conflict with the establishment rhinos and the radical dems, the left wing national media and corporate america. all of whom have dismissed any talk of election irregularities. >> these lawmakers aren't even claiming they have evidence. this is just one more vain attempt to thwart the free and fair election of joe biden as the president of the united states. it's undemocratic. it's unamerican. and it will fail. >> january 6th will tell us whether there are any in congress willing to battle for the america that those soldiers fought for, the one that you and i believe in. howie: kat timpf, republican senators who oppose these efforts say it creates an unnecessary spectacle that with democrats controlling the house basically has no chance of success. but with even vice president pence supporting these efforts now, at least lending rhetorical support, doesn't that make impossible for the press to just write it off. >> yeah, it certainly does. and many have made the point, particularly thinking of

. >> final question is about josh holly and i was on the air with you earlier when you explained you have endeavored very carefully over the last couple months not to be personal at all about senator holly but here is a guy with degrees from stanford, yale law school, clerked for the supreme court justice. he's not dumb. here is a guy who made a sizable bet and put all of his chips on running for president in 2024 further that he wants this to be his base. this is the hill he wants to die on. he has doubled down on that after a day of violence tonight in the senate chamber. what is the chance, claire, that he has terribly miscalculate? >> well, we can only hope, you know, all of us are a little concerned because i think most of us would have never predicted that donald trump number one would get elected president, number two, would in fact, burro his way into the hearts of so many americans with his lies. so i don't think we should take for granted that this is a deal breaker for josh holly. listen, i'm the last person to krit siesz criticize ambition. i think everybody should have a

admiral m going to asyou on the floor of senate is missouri senator josh holly who has been one otheleadersf those objecting to the electoral count. >> would be in the words of abraham lincoln no appeal from ballots to bullets. is is whatwe saw unfortunately attempted tonight. there's no place for that in the united states of america. and that's why i mentioned to my colleagues what we're doing here tonight is very important. because for the who have concerns about the integrity of our elections, those who have concerns about what happened in november, this is the appropriate means. this is e lawful place where those objections and concerns should be heard. this is the forum that the law provides for those concerns to be register, not through violence, not by appealing from ballots to bulets but here this lawful process. to those who say this is just a formality today antique ceremony we've been engaged in for a couple of hundred years i can't say i agree, i think it's vital what we do, the opportunity to be heard, to register objections is vital becausehis is the place for those obj

senate, the republican senators josh holly ted cruz from texas for example these crews 11 play an important role in terms of showing their loyalty to the president and to the trump campaign itself you're gonna have over a 100 members of the house gop members are also going to cast doubt on what happened but what ultimately happens is the 2 hours of debate or so that we see in the senate will we ultimately see happen in the house is all about the drama of loyalty to president trump and the trump brand it's about not being primary to the right by a trump candidate. and the subsequent election it won't alter the outcome of the election. but what it will do is demonstrate where the gop is going we're seen that civil war within the gop are you with trump are you against trump going on right before our eyes and in addition, what we're seeing is also what democrats and how they're going to respond how nancy pelosi is gonna respond or what they're going to do in this congress over the next 2 years in the middle of this is president elect biden and his agenda which is all about covid covid covid and

bomb and then lit the fuse yesterday, i'm talking about the president talking about people like josh, holly. ted cruz louis gohmert and others and there's a way to deal with that politically you know who knows what happened there states and maybe people hold them accountable. but certainly these are all people who was fired in leadership. they all aspire to to be active in politics people like out there. good. republicans democrats independents, don't do what they want most which is don't give them any money cut them off. i think that i think that that that speaker pelosi has the power to. work with the like-minded members of the republican caucus, and the sign people like louie gohmert either too our list or no comey's at all i think that senator schumer should work with senator mcconnell and do the same thing to josh hawley and the ted cruz and to show that to show them that what they did encouraging this attack our democracy cannot be tolerated. >>you mentioned former transportation secretary chao to be clear she is married to mitch mcconnell, but michael yes, the that i think a lot of p

done no uncertain terms but i'd be very careful about making the situation worse when you look at josh holly walking along senator josh ali walking on and giving you know a big hey go go go get him to the protesters around the senate versus other republican senators last night being applauded on the floor by democrats and republicans for saying we have to stop this divide how where is the republican party go does it expelled q. and on types does it keep them in the tent what's the if you are part of the architecture of republicanism are you worried about the health of the party can can the good parts of the party we claim it. well listen i think the party exists not necessarily because the leaders but because of the followers and so it's a you know you have to be very careful not to sue kind of lead a party in a place where the followers are not going to go i do think that there needs to be. better communication a little more straight talk with with our voters i think we need to do a better job of bedding down conspiracy theories which in fact both sides you know i you know there's going to

you talked about loews cats olene josh holly and i urge people to push back. republicans of josh holly, donald trump, you don't have to stay at lows so there needs to be pushed back. my fund is one of the ways to push back and invest in companies that are supporting republicans. stuart: widger fund invest in say banks with senator warren going after them? >> well, we are invested in banks. interestingly, banks have been doing well lately as you have seen. i think with the 10 year, it will be a bigger factor and i think elizabeth warren will have a harder time. some of the banks are saying they won't support the senators that voted against certification and citigroup is one. who do they think will protect them from senator warren? it's insane and virtues signaling. they don't even have to make these announcements. if they don't want to give do certain candidates, just out there don't have to publicly say they are not going to. they didn't do this when barbara boxer did this against george bush. the democrats against bush and it from have had people that did not

seeing the violence that descended on the capitol today however there were other objectors like josh holly who is among the most vocal supporters of president and his unfounded claims of voter fraud saying that he is still objecting and most likely will voice mortgage actions to more states as the night progresses what that means is more of a delay tactic which is what we were expecting all along perhaps more hours of debate but in the end the result already baked in that. when the joint session reconvenes with vice president mike pence reading the name of the winner of the presidential election it will be that of joe biden right in the meantime blues assumes you know about the last days of trump's president other concerns about what might happen next. there are many concerns at this point this is serious certainly a crisis unfolding at the white house some examples we know that the chief of staff of milady a trump the 1st lady has resigned effective immediately she said in a statement because as a result of this violence in protest to this violence we also have heard stirrings of more peo

bush administration a minister and he said that meant touring senator josh holly of missouri was one of the one of the biggest mistakes the biggest mistake of his political life what do you think should be done with senator holly senator ted cruz these people that fed the flames of tao in this election. well you know of course one of the really most bizarre engine fame's in addition to seeing senator holly. go out and insists that he continued to want to. vote on decertification was to see him go out and raise his fist in solidarity with those who had attacked the capitol now maybe at the time he did that he did not realize the violence that was going on i would like to see him apologize for that action. but it's unfortunate number of senators have continued to support the false narrative that donald trump and other set have said so it was good to see senator danforth really was a great man. and a great ambassador the united nations someone who george bush really looked to as a moral compass come out and and and disagreed with senator all one of the other things that intrigues me as

to see senators expelled from congress i'm thinking of ted cruz from texas and i'm thinking of josh holly from missouri. that's hard to save he certainly wants to not instill the democrats that the search slim 50 percent majority might not see it that you there because it is senate will be equally divided at that time with qualifiers breaking a tie and i don't know if the president bite will president elect biden want to expend political capital getting rid of them there are other forms of accountability that were up ironically a new american corporate world just showing a certain last book deal a lot of corporate donors have announced that they're no longer going to donate his senate campaigns there are a variety of factors kind ultimately accountable but holly interest me will stay in the senate even if there are 'd a lot of other actors in american public life trying to hold them to account yet that is amazing that they probably as you say they will keep their political careers trump being impeached again if that enough to ensure that this attempt to override the will of the people wil

absolutely has to distance himself from the far right contingent in the senate namely ted cruz and josh holly and he needs to make very clear that he rejects their collaboration with the incitements and there are is now a senate ethics complaint pending against them it'll be interesting to see what happens there but at the same time if you went along with the conviction on the impeachment for donald trump he runs the risk of alienating a good portion of his base and of really step cementing the split between the 2 sides of the republican party in the senate much more extremely and not having the far right vote when he needs it on bills that will be coming up so i think he's going to try to figure out what to do my guess is he's going to try to defeat that conviction but he wants to make absolutely sure that he's got his ducks in a row we need to walk the hallways and indeed to try to consolidate the no vote on this impeachment here is a thing i mean even though the democrats do hold a. majority in the senate they still do need the support of at least 17 republicans to convict the former presi

that yes that was long and blame lies with the president but it also is shared by senators like josh holly and ted cruz who are part of the dozen senators who wanted to object to the certification of the electoral college results those senators i believe share some of the blame for what happened yesterday actually senator hawley was witnessed holding a fist up in sort of support of solidarity when he was walking to the senate yesterday towards the beginning of the day i had a very unique front row seat to everything over the course of 5 hours yesterday i want to play own eyes as i have in just disbelief and as protesters breach the parameter in a way that i was absolutely sure was not good and at that moment i saw it happen and i knew that the police force the law enforcement there on capitol hill were overwhelmed i knew this because i spent 4 years as a senior congressional staffer on the u.s. house of representatives i i was there at a time and this still remains that you're when you're walking on the wrong side of the side wrong side of the side the capitol police reprimand you they giv

publish your book after you know you took certain political actions like we saw with congressman josh holly and simon and schuster are those in your opinion violations of the 1st amendment. so you know at the end of the day i mean think about it you know if it's my publishing company i'm going to publish what i'm going to publish on twitter or any of these other platforms i'm going to you know i can sound whoever i want to silence if we even i'm going to sit here and call it silence and i think that's the level above this whole conversation is we're getting caught up in in who and whose 1st amendment rights have been taken away you know that their founders. were there were tweeting you don't want to stand so these companies the same way that donald trump or whoever have the ability to write what they want or say what they want is the same way i don't have to have you be a part of my company if you come in my house and you disrespectful and you don't follow the rules that my wife and i stablished and we're going to vote you out of the front door because we pay for it so i think the whole 1st

more and also at least one senator in the senate and we know that the republican from missouri josh holly is that senator so this is what is going to trigger this mechanism but again this is not going to overturn the results still many of these republicans are allies of donald trump who firmly believe that there was voter fraud that there were election regularity but as we've been reporting for weeks in fact that's not the case according to not only election officials but also the supreme court so this is going to certainly be a challenge in fact it's going to be unsuccessful even before it gets started. to hong kong where an exodus of residents is expected later this month as they seek refuge from tough new security rules imposed by beijing the end of january residents from the former british colony can move to the u.k. for up to 5 years and then apply for residency and jim brown has a report from a legal. many people in today's hong kong tend to choose their words carefully but fred z. is not afraid to speak his mind about the reasons for leaving a territory he says he no longer recogni

amendment or impeach the president and there has been a lot of support pry republicans for senators josh holly and ted cruz who are the ringleaders of this effort in the senate and i think that we're now seeing the american business is saying enough is enough we need to stop this especially in light of the violence that we seem to be expecting now around the country in the coming days as some companies have said they're just taking a pause in they're going to be reconsidering their donations and this is the 1st quarter of a new cycle is often a slow time for donations anyway but on the other hand dow chemicals that they're not going to be giving anymore donations to anybody who supported the. has supported the effort to undermine president biden for the rest of this cycle for the rest of their term which means for members of congress 2 years and for senators up to 6 years so that's a much longer period of time and we will see if other companies follow suit but despite warnings of planned protests in the days surrounding his inauguration joe biden says he's not to tote. i'm out for it if you. r
