what's your message to lindsey graham this morning, congressman? >> get a grip. get a grip.eality. >> reporter: so the big question right now is what the president ultimately does because a number of top senate republicans say after next monday it is over, even though it's been clear what the result has been for weeks. top republicans like chuck grassley as well as senator john thune and john cornyn told me it's over for the president but if he continues to get encouragement from the right and house conservatives, the president will continue to use that to push his case even though it stands virtually no chance of succeeding here. >> it's a political game, let's call it what it is. it does create doubts in the minds of tens of millions of americans. thank you very much. >>> already strained lab technicians are sounding the alarm as the demand for more testing, not talking about vaccines here, but testing grows. i felt like... ...i was just fighting an uphill battle in my career. so when i heard about the applied digital skills courses, i'm thinking i can become more marketab

lindsey graham now supports it.o what in the world is going on here and do you think the gop is going to get on board with the president's demands? >> what's going on, john, is the very thing that the president wanted which is chaos. he lost the election and now reverting to his prior businesses as a commercial operator and a game show host which you kind of at the last minute walk away from the deal or threaten to blow up the deal even if it's one that you yourself negotiated. that is what he's doing. so donald trump gets the number one thing that he wants which is all of us asking what is it that donald trump wants. so he's put himself back in the middle of the negotiations. center stage of politics, even day by day, he gets closer to having to leave the white house and leave power forever. so this is the way he operates. this is the way his game show would sort of proceed here, you know. you're kind of on pins and needles waiting to see what will happen. the unfortunate part of all of this, of course, it's going

we know that lindsey graham has no moral compass when it comes to donald trump. tv tomorrow and praise the president and explain why the president has the power to pardon manafort. that's the type of man lindsey graham is. that's the type of party the republican party has become. they have to own that. they have to live with that. so sadly, donald trump is not loyal to the members of his party, but sadly they're loyal to him, something that louise many democrats scratching their head because time and time again donald trump has changed his mind in the middle of the stream, and they've had to go in front of the voters and the american people and looking like hypocrites time and time again. donald trump will continue to make money and grift the american public, and republican legislators will have to rebrand their own reputations. that's on them, but that's four years they've abandoned the american public and weakened the two-party system where they should be working on behalf of the the american people and not on behalf of donald trump. >> melissa, zoom out for me

sarah, president trump's $2,000 proposal is getting a new key endorsement from senator lindsey graham, just days after he initially opposed it. so why the flip flop to saying $600 is no longer adequate? >> reporter: why, fred, is the million dollar question here. it's one republicans themselves are still trying to answer. because the $600 amount for individual checks is what the white house brought to congressional leaders and said this is what we want to see in the bill. so when republicans, like lindsey graham, voted for that bill earlier this week, they believed they were doing so with the backing of the white house. trump came out and opposed the amount for the individual stimulus checks after that bill had already passed both chambers of congress with a veto-proof majority, putting republicans right now in a really difficult spot. many gop lawmakers were kind of hoping this would blow over and the president wouldn't bring his opposition to the level of a veto threat. but it's really unclear at this moment what the white house plans to do. i want to read you what senator graham tw

>> lindsey graham is exactly right. what we seen from democrats in the past, there is no fear of running the debt up to the moon. i think that what will happen, if we lose those senate races in georgia, they will come back with a bill that will not only have the $2,000 which is what i think the majority of americans want, they also put the elimination of student loan debt. they probably have more than has ever been put on a bill in the history of america so i think the best thing for the taxpayers right now is to try to get the stimulus passed and then set the example, let's start having regular order in congress. let's have one vote per one bill and not try to jumble a bunch of different bills onto one vote. stimulus bill didn't have a lot of the stuff in it that i see a lot of my friends post on facebook, but you combine so many different bills onto one vote, it confused the americans. if you are confusing intelligent people about what congress is doing then you are not doing your job in leadership, so i hope that we

many of these republicans like lindsey graham know better, but are not willing to say so. clearly what is obvious to the american people, especially now after the electoral college voted. >> john harwood, what did you hear in president-elect biden's speech last night? >> what i heard from joe biden was twofold, one, a bit of the same message that he had been communicating for several weeks, which is one of unity and trying to calm the passions of the election, but also a bit of impatience creeping in. you know, we are now well over a month after the election. this effort by republicans to challenge the election has been garbage the entire time. they haven't come up with anything. i think what joe biden was trying to say, now that the electors have voted, this garbage stinks so bad that there is no justification for any of these republicans to continue holding out and yet as you were just discussing with abby, so many including mitch mcconnell are trying to slip slide their way into this new reality without ever having to take a stand, without ever having to say anything, w

so all of the things that from the president's calls to lindsey graham, it's all rhetoric.t to ask you about actual action and if anything is even possible at this point because you've got joe biden winning pennsylvania by more than 80,000 votes, the pennsylvania assembly is out of session, so despite all of these phone calls that the president is making, is there anything that the pennsylvania legislature can even do, you know, to even make this attempt at something that will not happen? >> well, first of all, a number of states amounting to more than 270,000 electoral votes have already certified joe biden as the winner of the election in those states. they have appointed their electors. today is what we call safe ha harbor day which means congress is supposed to treat that as final. there are extremely remote pockets we could speculate about, but none of them are realistic. there is going to be a fight in congress in january when the elector -- the electoral votes arrive. we now have indications some senators and representatives, republicans, may object to the votes from

that won't stop ted cruz and lindsey graham from filing suits like state of texas did today. to answer the question, no. the republican party is deadly afraid of personality and cult type relationship donald trump has with his followers and because of that, you're going to see this drum beat, even it is going into the next united states congress in the next few days, they're going to take to the well, make an argument that the election was rigged. it is very, very dangerous. i'm extremely proud of the united states supreme court today. >> there are some republican governors who had the guts to tell the president and his legal team you're wrong, republican governor of georgia, republican governor of arizona, and the president's own attorney general of the united states, william barr, he had the guts to publicly give an interview to associated press and say there isn't any evidence of widespread fraud, cited not only investigation by department of justice but by department of homeland security and the fbi. and the president continues to continue with this. everybody stand by fo

what is clear though, he's making clear to his allies including senator lindsey graham that he's continuing to make objections to this. we saw this tweet from lindsey graham who was spending time with the president at his property in mar-a-lago, lindsey graham tweeted, after spending time with president trump today, i am convinced he is more determined than ever to increase stimulus payments to $2,000 per person and challenge section 230 big tech liability protection. that is the unrelated provision that the president was objecting to, the national defense authorization bill on but clearly the president is still in a mood to contest this. meanwhile, there's some critical deadlines still coming up. beyond the deadline that i was just talking about that is coming up tonight for that supplemental unemployment insurance, you're also going to face a series of deadlines at the end of this year. government funding runs out on tuesday. so we could face the government shutdown if the president doesn't sign the legislation and at the end of the year, december 31st, that is when the eviction moratoriu

i wish somebody would say the things about me that lindsey graham said about you. do you think you guys can patch it up and work together? >> lindsey's been a... personal disappointment, because i was a personal friend of his. but, look, i don't think-- i think that-- i think i can work with the republican leadership in the house and the senate, i think we can get things done, and i think, once this president is no longer in office, i think you're going to see an impact on the body politic fade, and a lot of these republicans are going to feel they have much more room to-- to run and cooperate. >> stephen: the first time you and i ever spoke together was on the old show, and it was in 2010, and i asked you a question, in character, but it left a real impression on me what your answer was. the administration has got some critique, some criticism from me and my conservative friends that you have not given enough credit to president bush. would you like to take this opportunity right now to look over there and say thank you. >> mr. president, thank you. you've honored

i believe the only republican senator who has come out in favor of this proposal is lindsey graham who perhaps not coincidentally went golfing with president trump this weekend. rebecca buck, thank you so much. >> reporter: thanks. >>> we're following breaking news overnight. police in illinois have arrested a suspect in a deadly shooting at a bowling alley. three people were killed, and three others injured in rockford after what investigators are calling a random attack. at least two of the shooting victims are teens. police have identified the suspect as a 37-year-old male. so far they've not disclosed a motive for the attack. >>> we're also getting new details this morning in the investigation of that christmas day explosion in nashville. according to investigators, the explosion was likely a suicide bombing. federal agents are at a home southeast of nashville in antioch to conduct what they call court-authorized activity. meantime, cnn has obtained new video from the explosion seen from inside a restaurant on security footage. look at that. from one moment to the next, total devas

they had a long history together and, of course, lindsey graham has been attacking biden and biden talkedt what that was like, and take a listen to what the president-elect had to say about that relationship. >> lindsey has been a personal disappointment, because i was a personal friend of his. i think once this president is no longer in office, i think you're going to see his impact on the body of politic fade and a lot of these republicans are going to feel they have more room to cooperate. >> reporter: recently senator graham said there was a very, very narrow path for president trump forward and acknowledged he had spoken with joe biden, that it was a pleasant conversation the two men had. but you heard president-elect biden there he wants to return to a more bipartisan way, especially when dealing with senate and the congress. we'll see how it turns out. >> you have more than 100 republican members of congress challenge the result of the election, you wonder if that's a realistic hope. >> thanks for the reporting. >>> the vice president and the surgeon general getting vaccinated on l

period. >> martha: lindsey graham, good to have you here tonight. we will see where it goes. apparently david purdue is in favor of the senate judiciary committee. you're saying that's not how it's going to work. >> now, i'm not a federal judge. i can't get relief. i can't change georgia law. by the time the senate acts up here, the senate will be over. the statehouse in georgia can change it, i can't. federal judges can get relief, i can't. go to court with a case that makes sense, change the law where you can to require bipartisan -- i'm not trying to tip it to republicans, i'm trying to prevent them from being cheated by a system that is ripe for fraud. >> martha: it's amazing. you need to have a fair election. having people on both sides witnessed the process should be baked in the cake. the fact that it does not i think it's just shocking to people across the country. senator graham, always good to see you. thank you for being here tonig tonight. >> thank you. >> martha: joining me now, democratic congresswoman from michigan. she sits on the house homeland security and a

. >>> and senator lindsey graham backing the call to basilica the payments to $2,000 tweeting i hope congress is listening. josh lederman is listening, he is in west palm beach where the president is spending his holiday. josh, what is the latest on this bill, is there any indication that the president could sign this by the end of the day? >> reporter: there is less optimism as we speak right now than there was just yesterday because for several days president trump hadn't really said anything about his threat not to support this massive covid relief package. and that was fueling some optimism that maybe the president was going it back off. maybe the calls from his fellow republicans for the president to drop this and simply sign the dealit back off. maybe the calls from his fellow republicans for the president to drop this and simply sign the deal, maybe those calls were getting to the president and maybe he would pick a different course. but then the president spent his time this morning on his virtual home away from home on twitter making clear that he is still very focused on th

once the electoral college did its job, very quickly lindsey graham made a statement.nd senate majority mitch mcconnell did not say anything. he will address reporters today. i don't expect him to say anything of substance either and he may not say anything until january 6th. not only the day the congress meets to certify the results from the electoral college, also the day after of the critical georgia runoff. >> incidentally, a word in arabic, in hebrew, joe biden says, halas. it's enough. more than enough, actually. that's done, i'm spiking the football in your face. >> really interesting. a word in italian also for what he did last night, which is -- >> what it was. as if to say, that's it. that's it. no more. follow-up on the mitch mcconnell thing. john thune, in the republican senator leadership is out there saying it's over. he says, in the end at some point you have to face the music. once the electoral college settles the issue today it's time for everyone to move on. mitch mcconnell dropped hints over the last few weeks that he's working with a transition but

he didn't show up for a scheduled appearance this morning with lindsey graham.even though he's from the state next door and not on the ballot here. from what we understand, purdue just because he's home doesn't mean -- talking to folks here, just because he's home doesn't mean we won't see him. he has the ability to skype or zoom to be seen and heard. it's possible that we might see him on the campaign trail before the running off as long as there's more negative tests produced. but for today at least, he's going to be off the trail. at this point in a campaign, the most precious commodity is time. they're losing some out here with voters just five days to go. molly? >> time is short. there's no replacement for getting out there and a little bit of that inperson. even though in-person has changed so much. you don't have the intimacy of the rope lines, which we saw so dramatically in the presidential contest that you covered. what a change it's been. you mentioned that he will be heard from home, but zoom isn't the same, certainly not. but you mentioned interesti

of lou's wonderful family along with director of national intelligence john ratcliffe, senator lindsey graham. i who i think most people know, they know you for the most part. and patch, a big fan of notre dame, thank you for being here. lou was born during the great depression in west virginia. we love west virginia, he grew up in poverty in a two room cellar but as lou says, i knew god and my family loved me and their wealth was all i needed, it's everything i needed, all i wanted. his uncle and grandfather's lap and listen to notre dame football games on the radio, big fans of notre dame. that wasn't too long ago, was it? they were big fans and he learned at an early age about notre dame. took the field in his first game and played throughout high school, lou went on to attend penn state where he did really well, and rotc scholarship after graduation and pursued his dream of coaching. he wanted to be a coach right from the beginning. he knew he was a leader. in 1961 lou made what he described as the smartest decision of my life. and i knew your wife and i will tell you that was the smartes

senate judiciary committee lindsey graham says the justice department should appoint a special counsel to investigate hunter biden over concerns involving his business dealings in china. as a growing number of house republicans are calling for eric swalwell to be removed from the intelligence committee. we have a guest here to discuss that and much more. as new york faces the prospect of a full shutdown a huge winter storm hammers the northeast. how much is too much for the big apple? we'll examine that. hello and welcome to fox news. i'm shannon bream in washington. we begin tonight with that massive cybersecurity on government agencies. the white house correspondent is digging in. what have you learned? >> on sunday you may know it was revealed that the treasury and the commerce department had been victims of a sophisticated hack. the breach which experts have linked to the russian government is said to have compromised numerous systems including email communications at several agencies. it appears to have been made possible after a breach of solar winds. that's a texas-based i.t. co

glamorous salon owner, lindsey graham joins me now. it is great to see you, congratulations and thank you for joining me tonight. i appreciate it. >> thank you for inviting me. i appreciate it myself. >> tammy: this is very important, not just you personally but for the statement that this makes to everyone in the countryal who has been under the boot of tierney for quite some time. so tell us what made you finally filed this lawsuit. >> well, it has been a long time since weapon i mean, about eight months. but the major effects that i had were as soon as i try to open my doors against the governor's mandate in may, she came at me with the full weight of the state, and she tara dimmick -terrorized myself, she terrorized my stylist, and she terrorized my family. she took every government agency and put her full weight and tood intimidating me to closing including sending child protective services to my home and threatening my children. >> tammy: your lawsuits describes that. your lawsuit describes what seems to be -- and we've seen ae r

lindsey graham called him a cook. >> he's a race baiting xenophobic religious bigot. he doesn't represent my party. i think he's a cooke. i think he's crazy. i think he's unfit for office. >> that was the lindsey graham of 2015, 2016 before he got his chip, his upgrade or downgrade or whatever that is. lindsey graham is supporting that man now over a man he once considered one of his closest friends. >> if you can't admire joe biden as a person, then probably you've got a problem. you need to do some self-evaluation because what's not to like? he's the nicest person i think i've ever met in politics. >> is that right? >> he is as god a man as god ever created. >> with tears. with tears. joe biden's a good a man as god ever created. lindsey. let me stop before i go too far. [ laughter ] y'all know. y'all know. rand paul called him a delusional narcissist. >> donald trump is a delusional narcissist and an orange-faced wind pabag. a speck of dirt is way more qualified. >> they all had trump's number not so long ago. they knew. they still know. oh, they know. and we were

he saw lindsey graham in mar-a-lago. i think graham was trying to nudge him along. you can still fight for the issues you're raising like larger stimulus check and cutting some foreign aid, but you're not going to be able to do it in this bill. this bill passed by bipartisan majorities in both houses of congress. people have been cut off for unemployment benefits and other things were about to expire like eviction protection and so forth and the government would close down at midnight if he didn't sign. lindsey graham and others, if colive to fight another day he put out a statement from the white house indicating suggesting he had somehow gotten concessions he didn't really get but as a face-saving way pretending he accomplished something that hasn't been accomplished. >> and of course, there's no evidence kasie hunt, got to him and tried to talk to him about vetoing the defense bill. >> andrea the house is inned too, the senate tomorrow. this is something unprecedented and the president would have been the first president in many years to have never had a veto ove

at the election results and for the takeaway to be we need to figure out how to appeal to the lindsey graham voters, you know, and the deeply red districts, as opposed to recognizing that there's an entire electorate that is younger, that represents where the electorate is going -- it's younger, it's more diverse, it can win you states in the south -- this is the argument that stacey abrams has been making for quite some time -- instead of looking at things and saying, "how can we invest more in black and indigenous and people of color organizing? how can we really look at those issues?" i mean, politically, that makes a lot more sense than saying, "how do we tap into the electorate that lost the presidential election, the electorate that is shrinking, and then, morally, the electorate that opposes democracy?" because they are more committed to racism than they are to the idea of a democracy that allows everyone to participate. so, you know, again, i just think that we cannot -- we cannot gloss over. yes, i recognize, of course, that james clyburn is a long-standing politician from south car
