we are joined by mo brooks of alabama.e has challenged -- promised to challenge the election results when they get to congress in january. thanks for bringing it up. plenty of articles about the election. this is the lede in the washington times. "trump throwing a hail mary to block biden election." "trump called on the supreme court to have the courage to intervene as his republican allies sued four swing states in what was described as a hail mary effort to prevent states from casting electoral votes for presumptive president-elect joe biden. the supreme court rejecting another case on tuesday in which republicans sought to overturn the certification of the election for biden. that lawsuit claimed that pennsylvania's legislature did not legally enact a law to expand mail-in voting during the pandemic. separately, the arizona supreme court dealt another blow to the president by rejecting a lawsuit from the state's republican party chairwoman claiming fraud." plenty of moving parts on that front. something we will cover st

i just want to say god bless you, mo brooks, for you energy, bls you for your clarity, bless you for your willingness toight. i've been trying to call c-span, i told them months ago that this was going to happe you got bakein fraud. you just don't have chain of custody on mail-in ballots. can you account, can anybody account for 20, 30, 40 million balls that weren't used? no, because they're reused. no chain of custody means you kndon't have a valid election. bless you,ir. keep up the fight. >> guest: let me add a comment to this gentleman's remarks. today i'm going to give a floor speech probably in the neighborhood of 10:10 to 10:25 eastern time, and in that floor speech is going to quote extensively from a democrat, approximateally-paid election -- professionally-paid election expert out e of new jersey. and hee details how he's helped steal elections through this en masse mailout of ballots. and it's quite remarkable. it'll be on c-span if, i hope you wah it. >> host: antonio, democrat from california. good morning. >> caller: thanks for taking my call. i'd first like to ask you,

congressman mo brooks.ascinating to hear this because the implications for the future is what your focused on. good to see you. >> my pleasure. >> harris: hypocrisy run amuck? you know. i'm on it. one california official lashing out at a journalist that caught her eating outdoors after voting to ban all in-person dining. yet another example of democrats ignoring their own coronavirus guidelines. the growing backlash next. the e need to silence our phone. who knows where that button is? i don't have silent. everyone does -- right up here. it happens to all of us. we buy a new home, and we turn into our parents. what i do is help new homeowners overcome this. what is that, an adjustable spanner? good choice, steve. okay, don't forget you're not assisting him. you hired him. if you have nowhere to sit, you have too many. who else reads books about submarines? my dad. yeah. oh, those are -- progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents, but we can protect your home and auto when you bundle with us. l

my congressman is mo brooks. he is coming on after you. i have called every office about my problem. with the health care my son had. once they graduate, if they don't go to college, and then if they don't go to college it cuts off at age 23 and they are always behind. i just got the affordable care act permission to buy blue cross blue shield through alabama. which i thinkonth is ridiculous. in the war, they still would have dropped his insurance. all i have been asking for is a change in the school requirement and bump the age up to the age of 36 like they did in the affordable care act. on the affordable care act, toerans were put on page -- update the systems between the v.a. and dod. host: thank you for bringing your story of. congressman ryan, do you want to respond? caller: -- caseworkat is a situation. you have to go through your congressperson because my staff is overwhelmed with the 700,000 people we represent. i will mention to congressman brooks that you called and we will get your name and make sure your staff connects with yo

i'm sorry, i thought it would be on with mo brooks. but i'm just really concerned that c-span had him on this morning. that was very dangerous. host: do you have a question about the vaccine approval process? caller: i'm sorry. host: do you have a question about the vaccine approval process? caller: i am comfortable with the progress on the vaccine, but i am really concerned c-span had mo brooks on talking about that stuff this morning. host: this is lee from twitter. "please explain why the health ministers of japan and south korea are concerned about the safety of covid vaccines." guest: i have not seen those specific concerns, but i think it's right to be, you know, very wecerned and be sure that understand the safety of these vaccines. it's a new disease, these are new vaccines. with them having to be produced so quickly, using messenger rna technology -- we are using technologies we have not had before with millions of people. so that is partly why the fda has insisted that there be larger trials, over 40,000 people, 20,000 or so

joining us tonight is congressman mo brooks.ion results on january 6th when congress convenes to officially tally the votes by the electoral college in an effort to install joe biden as president of the united states. congressman, it is great to have you with us. some would say that this is an extreme move that you are making, to challenge the electors. give us your thinking, your philosophy behind it. >> well, it's happened many times in the past. apparently, some folks have not done their history. by way of example, the democrats in the house tried it in 2017 when they tried to strike alabama's -- lou: right. >> -- vote for donald trump. georgia, the same way. the house democrats tried to strike it. barbara box or trieded to strike ohio for george bush back in 2005. so this is not unusual. the law is very clear, the house of representatives in come by nation with the united states senate has the lawful authority to accept or reject electoral vote submissions from states that have such flawed election systems that they're not w

host: i don't think i said never, i said very unlikely, but mo brooks talked about his plans to raise those objections. if you want to watch the interview with him it was last wednesday. you can watch it at c-span.org. just concernria, tempered by over the emotions on the other. both sides must come together again and they shall. that is what michael says in oregon. wyatt says that as a republican he has increasing respect for listening to mr. biden and his speech last night in hopes that democrats and republicans can work together. that is what we are asking you to call in about this morning, the joe biden speech last night, the electoral college confirming that victory in the 2020 election in the next step of course is certification on the floor of the house in that meeting of the house and senate that will be taking place on january the sixth. vice president mike pence will be presiding over the meeting. you can keep calling in. cap, democrats. republicans, (202) 748-8001. independents, (202) 748-8002. as you are calling and we want to keep you updated on the latest here on capitol

for that we turn to alabama representative mo brooks who is planning to challenge the vote certificationnd matt whitaker, former acting attorney general. gentlemen, thank you for being here. congressman brooks, let's start with you. thomas jefferson and john quincy adams were the only two presidents to be elected by a congressional vote. why do you believe the 2020 election should be subjected to this process? >> because it's quite clear to me that the order of evidence is overwhelming. if you were to count votes cast by eligible american citizens joe biden didn't win the electoral college. you've got a report from a georgia senate subcommittee on elections that discusses the election process in georgia.ey they had affidavits, they have live witnesses, they had documents and they concluded that george is on the election system of the movie of trust in november of this year. you got in pennsylvania, >> raymond: congressman, if i let you finish i will be totally out of time. look, we heard it in pennsylvania and i spoke to some investigators in nevada about the ballot harvesting they saw,

according to mo brooks he told them senators have told him privately they're willing to do it.told me they have a number of assurances. if they get support from a senator then each chamber has to debate separately for two hours the merits of that objection to a specific state's results and then there would be a vote in the house and senate whether to uphold that objection. and that vote is certain to fail in both chambers, including in the republican led senate in which the republican leaders are urging senators not to get behind this. one of the senators, the number two republican john thune told me yesterday republicans should not join this effort on the senate side. he told me, i think they have to remember it's not going anywhere. in the senate it would go down like a shot dog. now that is pretty clear sign there is virtually no support among the senate republican leaders but house republican leaders have been quiet on this so far, including steve scalise who told me, if the republicans do it, it happened in the past, he didn't seem to have an issue with them going forward

kudos to mo brooks for coming forward. we need one senator to come forward, and vice president pence -- and this is the heart of the gohmert lawsuit -- despite what everyone says, has significant power to figure out how the two bodies will proceed in figuring out who actually won the election opposed to what we're being told now. gregg: we'll wait and see what happens with the lawsuit. i'm not optimistic that go can merit will get -- gohmert will get his way. let me ask you about an order -- on january 6th republicans in the house want to challenge the electoral college count. but they need a u.s. senator to be onboard. so far none have stepped forward. the new senator, tommy tube -- tuberville, has sort of suggested he might be willing, but mitch mcconnell will never allow that to happen, will he? >> i mean, he may not want it to happen, but all the senators are independent, and they're answerable to the american people -- [laughter] gregg: who told you that in. >> well, some of them do act independently. i think there's

it won't be just mo brooks. there will be others, others besides you and mo brooks?r 20 members have come to either mo or myself and said they want to object. david: very interesting. congressman, thank you so much for being here tonight. have a wonderful holiday season. we appreciate you coming in. >> thank you, david. >> thank you for watching as well, folks. i'm david asman in for elizabeth macdonald. we hope you have a wonderful holiday week. this week and next. have a great evening tonight. ♪ ♪ ♪ gregg: good evening, i'm gregg jarrett sitting in for the vacationing lou dobbs. president trump has made it abundantly clear he is not backing down from the battle for the white house. the president and his allies in congress have been talking about are possibility of challenging the electoral college votes when congress convenes january 6th. and today some of those congressional allies began pressuring u.s. senators to stand with the president and tmand that the integrity of the election is insured.

doesn't he have to join in this mo brooks insanity? doesn't he have to be that senator? he has to run for re-election with a whole lot of people who spend all their time watching lou dobbs voting in his state. >> okay. mo brooks is from alabama. this is wisconsin up here. so we're very, very different place. i've known ron johnson for a long time and i've been asked this question how did ron johnson become ron anone and i honestly don't know. i don't think this is a politically smart move for him. if you go into a coffee shop in oshkosh or waukesha, wisconsin i honestly don't think people are wishing that their senior senator was worried about hunter biden's laptop or, you know, concerned about the latest -- or spreading russian disinformation or holding ridiculous hearings like the one today or the one last week where he gave oxygen to antivaxxer conspiracy theorists. i'm not sure that this is the genius political move that some people might imagine because, look. al franken understands i think that minnesota and wisconsin are not the same as other parts of the country.

>> mo brooks ought to be ashamed of himself. that's my first reaction.he fact of the matter is this is a democracy. we had an election. joe biden won by better than 7 million votes and we have had an electoral college. he got the same vote that the current president got four years ago and nobody has found any fraud, any abuse, anything widespread. yes, you're going to have somebody that makes a mistake, somebody that voted in a precinct that they should not have voted in and they're not even knowing better, but mo brooks knows that we've had a fair election. his own republican appointee said it was fair. so we should be moving on and not wasting time with this kind of foolishness. trying to satisfy the whims of a few people out there who will never, ever support a democracy. >> and, congressman clyburn, i'm going to have to leave it there. thank you very much for being here. >>> you are now looking at live pictures of that fedex truck leaving a warehouse -- leaving a warehouse in olive branch, mississippi, in that cargo hold is the moderna vaccine, the s

>> yeah, a number of the most conservative members, staunch trump defenders like congressman mo brooks, jim jordan of ohio, louie gohmert of texas, paul gosar of arizona, all meeting with the president and vice president and rudy giuliani, talking about trying to overturn the election. which has no chance of succeeding. but they're talking about on january 6th, when the joint session of congress meets, if one senator were to join the republican efforts in the house, then it would lead to two hours of debate on the senate and house side, then there would be a vote in each chamber to determine whether or not to uphold that. that is not going to succeed. i talked to john thune, he said that would go down like a shot dog. so republican leadership on the senate side don't want to do it, because it puts them in a difficult spot, choosing between the president and the will of voters. but nevertheless, the conservative voters are pressing ahead, and the president is doing whatever he can to undermine faith in the elections, and he has some willing partners. at the very least, he can prolong de
