if we elect david perdue and kelly leffler to the senate, republicans remain in charge of the senate.here'll be no tax increases, no socialized medicine which they certainly can do if they control the senate even if they can't get to 60 votes. that's why this election is so important. chuck schumer said it himself. they want to change america. georgia will let them. >> martha: i when i asked, different topic. this is the headline in reuters today. biden win opens the door for improved predictability in china u.s. relations. according to the state media in china. they seem to be happy with the outcomes of the electron the united states and president-elect biden. you have been a big china hock especially on the virus and other things so how do you see it shaping up? >> we may still be waiting. i think there's no doubt that beijing hawks came in for joe biden. china has been rooting for joe biden throughout the campaign because joe biden has a 48 year history of selling out american workers and american jobs to china to say nothing of his son's shady dealings in china. it's another reaso

i had gotten to personally know senator leffler and purdue, business-minded folks. they're both there to make sure that we have a tax environment that's very, very low and very cooperative toward small business owners and individuals, making sure that we work hard towards keeping low regulatory environments on businesses, making sure that we have a supreme court that continues to stay the way i believe the founding fathers really structured it. these are good folks and going to work hard and i'm anxious to work hard for them. >> i appreciate your time. just one quick last question. you said you haven't seen any evidence of irregularity or fraud. should people make the claims at the national level without the evidence? >> everybody has that right to make sure their opinion is heard and we're here and available for fib who has a credible example of some sort of fraud to bring it forward. we have the secretary of state's office, the attorney general's office. we have every reason to listen to those claims and to investigate them, and so something arises in the next few

we see that higher turnout during what looks like two potential runoffs, the purdue runoff and the lefflerf the we could see come january? if i am republicans i am a little worried. >> i'm not as worried myself because given how tight the race is in the presidential race that will be immobilizing factor for the republicans in georgia in upcoming elections particularly among folks who lean conservative but are not registered to vote and haven't voted in previous elections. moving forward we will see very high turnout among republicans. todd: you don't think that we've got to get out a voter movement will show up in january to say we got to get her do and leffler out of there. >> this election given how tight it is will wake up a lot of voters who didn't show up to the polls for donald trump and the republicans because they were being too sanguine about it. jillian: appreciate it. now to this, please rating homes and businesses of four men linked to the suspect in the vienna terror attack. right now there is no evidence those men were involved in monday's shooting, isis claimed responsibilit

kelly leffler, david perdue are tremendous people who should be in the united states senate, they areesperately needed but i told them today you have a fraudulent system. you have a system with the flick of a switch, putting in a new chip can change the course of history and you have to be very careful. i read this morning where stacy abrams has 850,000 ballots accumulated. that is called harvesting. you are not allowed to harvest but i understand the secretary of state who is really an enemy of the people the secretary of state, whether he is republican or not, what he has done, supposedly he made a deal, you have to check this where she's allowed to harvest but another as they are not allowed. what kind of deal is that? how can she say she has 850,000 ballots? that would mean she has 850,000 ballots for her. what is not supposed to be -- that is not an election. election should be a 1-day deal, you walk in and vote and if you can't do it, for some reason you are not feeling well or there is a problem, what they did is used covid-19 in order to the fraud the people of this country an

congress, and the republicans were forced off the campaign trail this weekend after senator kelly lefflerested positive for coronavirus. it also meant that david perdue, the other republican had to isolate. the two were together on friday at an event with vice president mike pence. they were seen without masked. they were in a confined space. that forced them to isolate, and stay off the campaign trail while leffler was tested again for coronavirus. one of the tests came back inconclusive. they checked again, they say they're negative. now she's waiting for a second test so she could have two tests in a row that show negative before she gets on the campaign trail. this has real implications because on monday, republicans are planning a big event with joni ernst. both perdue and loeffler were expected to be at this event. on the democratic side, they're not holiding rallies they're wearing masks. he said hello as people passed by in their cars. this race is so important. coronavirus a big part of the backdrop. the voters in georgia will have a second crack at both of these races on january

leffler's position is to win.ine what her original opponent had together with 53% it will be tough for democrats to take this but both sides will fight because they want control of the senate because democrats are in control of the house, joe biden is the president-elect, and if they have the senate it is easier for the president-elect and democrats to get their agenda through. one more thing. nancy pelosi is the speaker of the house. she doesn't have anything to do with senate races. a little information for kelly leffler. maybe shannon: >> you hope republicans will be a little overconfident with the georgia races. nobody believes polls anymore that i talk to. if we are looking ahead to the democratic party and what they are dealing with regardless whether they have the senate, they will probably have the house. on capitol hill there will be a lot to work through. one of the cofounders has come forward to say to the biden and harris potential administration we expect some things from you. this is a letter from on

it will probably be him against senator leffler, should that race go to a runoff. this is somebody who has embraced jeremiah wright, who even barack obama distanced himself from years ago. this is an anti-american preacher that barack obama had to distance himself from. this is somebody who has been hypercritical, frankly, ugly, vis a vis law enforcement. we are going to be educating georgians about that at a time when, you know, all americans value and need their law enforcement, especially people from lower socioeconomic strata. so we will be about that. when it comes to educating voters about david perdue's opponent, john ossof, of course, a failed congressional candidate, other than that, he seems to be brought up in some pretty comfortable circumstances and doesn't have a lot of professional achievements to call his own. he has conflated his resume a little bit. he has some business dealings with a company that operated with ties to the communist party in china. that's not likely to be particularly popular, nor is educating the people of georgia that he has re

there are many people who did not vote the president and did vote for david perdue or kelly leffler or bubba mcdonald. we saw a lot of ticket splitting. all of this tracks with the political environment we have seen. all of it has to do with ticket splitting. this is the one that's a little bit, for lack of a word, crazy town, which is the hammer and scorecard issue. frankly it doesn't make a lot of thee but will quote director of the cyber security infrastructure security agency. he uses the words, "it's flat-out a hoax and nonsense." we can't have people putting those words out there from the people protecting cyber infrastructure in the country. so don't buy into these things. find trusted sources. another thing i want to point in this state, this time, the selection, on election day was an amazing success. had ann't average -- we average of two minute wait time. that is unheard of in the state. the people in georgia did a very good job of adopting the action plan and mood -- moving voting behaviors to really voting. we had 2.7 million early in person votes. we had about a little ov

as the republican leffler starts to focus on the democratic candidate warknock, will he sustained negativeits which emerged largely unscathed in a general? >> the other is david purdue and john oss oh's after, will this be close? >> there is no way it can't be. specials favor republicans, they are more reliable voters, that is not something we can rely on because there's so much attention in georgia, so much many spent with messaging and turn out but perdue has a slight two point advantage walking out of the general, that was a 3-way race with a libertarian, get more votes for republicans than democratic voters, the latest polling, one pole we have to stick with, a four point lead on behalf of perdue, that is outside the margin a are. it is too close to call. i am rolling the dice the gravity flows republican, we will at least see a 51 at the end of january. >> you mention the four point difference. we will follow these and it will be interesting to see enthusiasm from both sides and the factors playing in all this. we will have a conversation again before january 5th. thanks for joining u

january runoff, there is a special election taking place on generally five as well, the seat that kelly leffler is trying to hold onto. she is in a race against her democratic challenger, rafael warnock, there in georgia. so georgia could become a key state january 5 with two final senate seats being decided that day. to put this in context for you, right now democrats have taken over two seats in the senate. that is in colorado and arizona. republicans have taken over one seat in the senate. that is in alabama, or senator doug jones lost his seat to tell me to prevail. -- two tommy to reveal. -- two tommy tupper ville. if thom tillis hold onto his seat in north carolina as well, they could net three seats in the senate, and the reason i bring that up is because if joe biden's president, democrats would need to net three seats to take over the senate. so the senate could still be in play if this georgia special election, the georgia regular election of david purdue goes to a runoff alongside that special election. so something about super bowl in the senate could be taking place january 5 in ge
