every political incentive for a ron johnson or rand paul in 2022 and wants the base to vote for them. is go ahead and do the show vote. it helps them. you have what's his name. who won in alabama. with moe brooks he has six years. unfortunately the political incentive says do the show trial. the fake vote. fst good for the them politically. has this driven you out of the republican party? >> indeed. at the end of the day there's now one prodemocracy political party in the united states ov america. that's the democratic party. i am a member of that party because of that. i'm a single issue voter. i believe in american democracy. what happened in the month of november premeditated, deliberately, faith and belief in american democracy was poisoned by president trump,

i hear a motion from van johnson and a second from rachel paule. i will now call upon the secretary to read the minutes. >> minutes of the meeting of georgia electors, december 14, 2020, meeting at 12 noon. at noon on december 14, 2020, fekima williams called a meeting of the electors. the electors elected elector stacey abrams as the chair of the meeting. sachin varghese was elected secretary. elector bobby fuse jr. called the pledge of allegiance. 16 as follows. stacey abrams, gloria butler, wendy davis, deborah gonzalez, van johnson, fenika miller, rachel paule, bob trammell junior, sachin varghese, nikema williams, cathy woolard. all 16 electors cast their ballots for joseph r. biden for president of the united states. the votes for vice president of the united states were tabulated and cast. all 16 electors cast their ballots for kamala harris. a motion was made and passed unanimously authorizing the secretary to prepare the certificate of vote for the 2020 georgia electors. it passed unanimously approving the certificate of vote and the origi

it's true. >> i agree with you. >> it's crazy as hell that rand paul -- willie, first of all, willie, you agree with me about ron johnson being the brick of the united states senate i'm sure. >> there's a potential for putting mayonnaise in the toaster. >> big time. >> but we're joking about this a little bit, but rand paul is purposefully undermining american democracy and he's lying and he's -- he's seen those court rulings. he's seen what trump federal judges have said. you've got nothing here. everyone is saying it. but what's in it for rand? >> i don't know the answer to that, but it's important i think to go back to the beginning of that sound bite we played from senator johnson which was that millions of people believe this election was illegitimate. well, millions of people believe it's illegitimate even though it wasn't because of hearings like that, because of republicans like rand paul and johnson that perpetuate the lie. what was valuable from the hearing, the testimony of krebs, he spoke and he shot down systematically all of the lies that were coming from the panel. here he is. >> i would appreciate more s

0 tariffs and 0 quotas of paul brown is live for us in london he's been following this paul obviously boris johnson being very bullish about this deal the e.u. signing it and letting it go through the process but basically as far as i can understand it people in the u.k. basically just have to sit back and wait to see how they're going to be affected by this. well yes because although the prime minister as you say very bullish talking about the comprehensive nature in his view of this deal there are dissenters the labor party for example says this is a very thin deal and they're voting in favor of it farther rather reluctantly because the only alternative to this deal is no deal there would be tariffs and there would be quotas imposed on the world trade organization rules that said though this is not some kind of utopian best of both worlds type of arrangement there will be differences in some cases big differences when the u.k. and the european union start this new trading relationship after midnight on thursday and couple of bulletin points for example from jenner the 1st there because those decl

do you think the rand paul's of the world, ron johnson's of the world will they listen to mitchell mcconnelleally remains to be seen. mcconnell is pretty good about keeping everybody in line, more so than kevin mccarthy on the house side. if some of these senators want to show trump that they love him best, you could totally see it happening. or more like they want to show that they are the heir apparent when he decides to step aside, if that ever happens. >> that's true. there has been a real rush to humiliate themselves, all of these 2024 hopefuls. laura, do you think vice president pence who also wants to run for president someday, will he accept a loss on january 6th? he will be presiding over the senate, i believe. >> it's really difficult to say what any of these republicans are going to do, pence included. he could very well not utter the words he acknowledges biden's win and leave the white house along with president trump come january. pence, if he does want to run, as you mentioned, jake, he has to balance trying to win over these republican voters that are very much behind preside

five republican senators who voted against it, including senators mike lee and rand paul, marsha blackburn, ron johnson, and ted cruz, good for you. you shouldn't vote for something you are completely ignorant of, and it is unconscionable that they would be given two hours to read 5500 pages of legislative text. with that kind of a price tag, and the fact that you don't know what's in it. you don't know the unintended consequences of what they just passed. remember when republicans went after nancy pelosi right before they passed obamacare saying, "we can read it after we pass it?" that's the wrong way of doing things! shoot first, aim later. that's how bad and tragic things happen. good for rand paul for making that speech, and he is absolutely right. if you are against socialism, you shouldn't vote for something like this, that you are blind to. that was legislated in secret with this kind of price tag. >> harris: they had eight months, gillian. i don't know of many people who can keep an 8-month secret. >> gillian: that's exactly right. >> harris: it's just an enormous amount of time, and then to be

reason like senators rand paul, ron johnson, were out on the floor trying to beat this provision backo keep the price tag of the total bill under a trillion dollars which they were in successful in doing. they touted that as a huge victory. now they have the president yanking the rug out from underneath them over, quibble not just over the stimulus check but wasteful spending of course will be included in the total package once you combine the covid bill plus the regular government funding bill, $1.4 trillion that the congress needs to pass in order to keep the government funded. because of course we're facing a shutdown. government funding expires on december 28th, just to make mitch mcconnell, nancy pelosi and all of their colleagues on capitol hill's job as little bit more tougher. connell: yeah. i mean it is just, this is, 2020 has been a crazy year. almost seems oddly fit technology it would end with president trump agreeing with aoc on something. brandon, appreciate you coming on with us. >>> a story about new york city, because when the census numbers came out they grabbed a lo

and when you've got fighters like ron johnson and rand paul fighting to get to the bottom of what transpiredon cycle, we need more warriors in washington, lou. whether you're the governor of georgia, the secretary of state of georgia or others, the recourse for you will be at the ballot box. it will come swiftly, it will be justly, and it will be done in the primary. lou: and that is a clear, forceful threat. what is, i guess what i would saw is what's taken so long. you know, everybody in the -- not everybody, but most republicans put up with rinos. they talk about them like they do, you know, libertarians. they're just something tough deal with end when, in point of fact, they're democrats and not paying dues to the democrats. the republican party looks awful. when you watch mitch mcconnell, he's done great things, he really has in judiciary and appointments. you know? merrick garland, think what would have happened if he hadn't stood up and are e fused to vote on -- refused to vote on his confirmation to even have him in the process. but he is milquetoast against the establishment, the do

ron johnson and rand paul think there is a lot of unproven fraud.o he's listening to those people, chris. but trust me, this is all transactional from here until january 20th. >> right. i mean, look, jim, you know, you're a lawyer. i'm a lawyer. anthony is a big shot from harvard and a lawyer. we all know there is no much thing as unproven fraud, right? if you have got fraud, that means it's been proven. they don't have anything here. they have been thrown out of dozens of courts on the basis of this. when will there start to be shame in the republicans game about this? >> well, you would have thought after this last round of the supreme court that the supreme court chose not to hear the arguments on it because there wasn't any widespread fraud, evidence of widespread fraud before the court that this would be somewhat at the end of this. much like you saw after hillary clinton's loss talking about he cheated because he colluded with the russians. in fact, you have some folks even at the time of the electoral college before congress, which is going t

apparently ron johnson and rand paul think there was a lot of unproven fraud, so, you know, he's listeningose people, chris. but trust me, this is all about a grift right now, and this is transactional from here until january 20th. >> right. i mean, look, jim, you're a lawyer. i'm a lawyer. anthony's a big shot from harvard and a lawyer. we all know there's no such thing as unproven fraud, right? if you've got fraud, that means it's been proven. they don't have anything here. they've been thrown out of dozens of courts on the basis of this. when will there start to be some shame in the republicans' game after this? >> you would have thought after this last round where the supreme court chose not even to hear the arguments on it because from wasn't any evidence of widespread fraud put before the court that that would be somewhat of the end of this. i think you're going to see, much like you saw after hillary clinton's loss, folks talking about, you know, the only reason the president won in 2016 was because he cheated, because he colluded with the russians, and in fact he had some folks eve

that there will be no other republican senators, like, maybe, ted cruz or ron johnson or rand paul?omy in the republican party, today, is profound. it is the trumpist faction of the party and the remaining faction of the republican party. anyone who wants to run for -- if they want to run for re-election in '22 or president in '24. they are going to do whatever trump tells them to do. if he told -- if he told josh hawley to stand on his head, he'd stand on his head until his ears bled. there is nothing these guys won't do to please trump and protect their future. they recognize, there's a faction of the republican base, especially in primaries and especially in the '24 primary, that is going to be loyal to donald trump, until the very, very end. and so, you are going to see this kind of performative stuff that tuberville and others are going to do, to try to show donald trump, to the very last, that they are loyal to him. no matter the cost to the country or the corrosiveness of their behavior, in terms of our norms and institutions. >> so, kirsten, what you know and what mitch mcco

senator paul -- >> bill: got our attention. senator ron johnson shared that hearing. he joins me now. good afternoon to you. >> bill, merry christmas. >> bill: merry christmas as well. three issues. what did this hearing accomplish today on that? >> well, the goal of the hearing contrary to what senator peters said is to try to resolve the suspicions around the election. we are in an unsustainable state of affairs where you have large percentages of the population started in 2016, how many millions would never accept a legitimacy of president trump. now fast forward. their guy wins. there's all kinds of concerns. irregularities that we need answers to. the democrats just want to sweep it under the rug. they called the hearing dangerous. i'm trying to gather information, acknowledge that problem. it's a serious problem when you don't have confidence, when such a high number of americans don't have confidence in the legitimacy of the election. it's a problem we have to solve. the only way you solve it is with transparency and honest information. >> bill: from your view,

paul: managing editor for a soy and new zealand, and johnson. -- for australia and new zealand, ed johnsonns of americans will see their funds expire because president trump has refused to sign a still is package. more on that story now. >> we are better off with stimulus that we are without stimulus. i do not think that $2000 checks make much sense. the real issue is going to be sustaining this expansion. you think about it, the $908 billion stimulus bill would probably pay out to hunter $50 billion per month for the next three months. $250b per month the next three months. the level of compensation is running below what we would've expected. gdp is running $70 billion below what we would have expected it would. so, in a way, it is unprecedented. muchve stimulus already, more than filling out the holes. and, given lots of the whole is from the fact that, not the people do not want to spend, but that they cannot spend, they cannot take a flight or go to a restaurant, i do not necessarily think that the priority should be on promoting consumer spending, beyond where we are now. so i am not

paul: dan. >> my hit goes to the u.s. department pharmaceutical company. pfizer, johnsons of the coronavirus in march, they went to work and within ten months, produced a safe effective vaccine. arguably, this is the miracle of 2020. this christmas season, vaccination schedules going to start, deliver us from this terrible pandemic. i think the pharmaceutical industry deserves the nobel peace prize. paul: my hit of the year goes to the wi-fi and broadband networks that kept us all working from home in this extraordinary year. one reason for that is the work of rg pie who run the federal communications communication under donald trump and repealed regulation in the late obama administration that had regulating internet like utility and freeing up investment in broadband and wi-fi. all those networks that works so beautifully this year end allowed us to minimize the danger from the pandemic. remember, if you have your own hit or miss of the year, tweet it to us at jtr on fnc. that's it for this week's show. thanks to my panel and all of you for watching. i am paul gigot. ha

paul brennan has this update from westminster. it was an a billionth performance by prime minister boris johnson swatting away criticisms of the deal from the labor opposition who said that it was a rather thin deal and the traders would be. overcome with an avalanche of red tape and bureaucracy and checks but the opposition parties know and knew that it was a done deal the battle was over and you can tell just from the surroundings i mean i know we're in the middle of a pandemic and an almost total lockdown tear for us the restrictive measures around the parliament building but given the flags and the whistles and the horns on the shouting that we've seen in previous big parliamentary set pieces here the contrast is marked when you look around me now it was clear that the prime minister was cutting it fine but he knew that there was not really going to be any think that competes that could stop him and so as i say let's have a listen to a very a bully and prime minister boris johnson just to be rewarded trade barriers so we've also ensured the u.k. has full control of our laws and our regulations and there is a vital symmetry betw

people like ron johnson come to mind and ted cruz and, obviously, rand paul.ave wanted to show their loyalty to this outgoing president. we know that over in the house side, mo brooks might have a collection of conservative house members that want to challenge the results there. that, of course, will go nowhere because the house has the majority there. but, you know, it would make sense for them. it would be better for them if they had senators to join them and tuberville, incoming senator from alabama. i think he was one a little bit unclear to the three branches of government so he might need something of an education on democracy and elections more generally. but listen. i think we are going to have maybe some of those senators fall in line with this president. i think it's just a matter of how many. ultimately, we know it's going to happen on january 20th. president trump will no longer be the president and president biden will be sworn in. >> the real reason we should point out the real reason mitchell mcconnell doesn't want this to happen it would force

. >> yes, paul, there are some any moving parts. with boris johnson and brexit.he big one is inauguration what is happening between now and then so i think volatility will remain. they will continue to hit records every couple of days and the s&p will be beat up. the u.s. dollar off, equities up, and the stimulus of a green light to make it happen. brexit, iseter, on there any doubt in your mind this deal, even if imperfect, even if both sides had to give up something, any doubt the house of commons is going to pass it this week? i think it is a toss of the coin. at the moment i am veering on the side they would, but who knows. they have their own certain heart a at the moment with out-of-control covid. that is the number one calling. let's see what happens. that uncertainty remains but i am pretty sure something will happen. kathleen: as you get ready, we are days away from 2021. atn it comes to equities u.s. stocks vis-À-vis the rest of the world, where are you putting your money? >> i would have to say u.s. stocks are still looking fairly favorable. there is n

among the people who voted know, rick scott, rand paul, mike lee, marsha blackburn, ted cruz and ron johnsoness expert charles payne. the same charles payne who hosts making money at fox business at 2:00. charles? it's a lot of money, it's more that's in your savings account. i looked at your passbook before i came on air. going to make america a better place? is. >> it will provide a bridge so that america itself can become a better place. a large part of america becoming a better place is allowing the nation to be the nation. reopening this country thrill and letting us earn money that we prefer to do rather than, you know, waiting for any sort of government assistance. so, you know, i'm hoping that this will be the bridge, but, you know, the most important thing after, this obviously, the vaccine distribution, but, let americans work. let americans go out there and do what we did to become the number one country in the world, this tiny little small country upstart if you will that was able to surpass every nation on the planet with our own style of pull yourself up by the boot straps, you

represented all 27 eu countries, nor boris johnson would want to be the ones to say, "right, i've had enough," and have that chaos on their shoulders. our reporter paul is across the latest reaction. new deadline of sunday, regardless of how significant we think the deadline is, kept or not, what will they be talking about over the next four days? talking about the three sticking points that we just highlighted there, namely fish, governance, how you will police the deal once it comes into force, and then the level playing field. probably taking up playing field. probably taking up most of the time, the level playing field, fair rules, the eu saying that if you want access to the single market, you have to have certain agreed environmental regulations and rules for businesses and if you try to drop or minimise those, that gives your businesses unfair advantage over ours and it would be unfair hence why we need a level playing field and we all need to sign up to agreed rules and the uk saying that the whole point of brexit is that we leave and follow our own rules! trying to reconcile these differences will take up most of the time i imagine. that see

let's cross live now to paul brennan who joins us from brussels or paul any news on what may be coming out of that dinner between doris johnson or 7 they're lying. now they've been inside for 2 hours now and no news at all as to exactly how the talks are going in that what's clear is that they were a little bit sort of testy with each other as they as they went in boris johnson keen to take the masks off for a photo call we saw live on the land rather nervous about that and insisting that they maintain a 2 meter distance between them and kept the masks off for as brief a time as possible before they disappeared behind those sliding doors and into the talks what we do know is that the negotiators teams are joining the 2 leaders so that they're all going to be sort of in the same room and able to talk about how this might go forward but what's also absolutely necessary is that needs to be a kind of political impetus now for the for the negotiations if the negotiations are to go forward from here but negotiating teams feel that they've exhausted every avenue that within the parameters of their mandates that they simply can't go

johnson was. as former charleston police department lieutenant paul perdue said and i quote him, the end of her life will be the second beginning for others, and that's just who she was. as you can imagine, mr. president, our community is hurting and our country and all of our law enforcement across the country is hting today for our community and officer johnson's family. but the outpouring of support has just been incredie to witness throughout this week west virginians he been honoring officer johnson life in so many ways. reich in charlesn our beautiful civic center, coliseum and civic centeras been lit in blue in honor of her and our law enforcement. there's been a great money-raising effort to help offir johnson's family meet whats going to be a financial challee earlier and what do we do with her pets and there's been an effort to have her pet adopted. and i just read before i came in here that the go fund me page for officer johnson had already exceeded its goal and hopefully it will continue to grow. last night a candlelight vigil was held outdoors to honor her fe and legacy where the commu

johnson said there was still a deal to be done but the e.u. was pushing trade terms no prime minister could accept so paul brennan is in brussels for us paul i know it's been a busy year for everyone a difficult year but wow talk about leaving it late. yes and the hope was that the 2 leaders coming face to face could produce some kind of breakthrough that the negotiating teams operating on a technical level hadn't been able to achieve in the weeks and months leading up to now i mean of course those negotiating teams are constrained by the very strict mandates that they've been given by their superiors so the hope was that getting the 2 superiors together the c. evening here in brussels would actually lead to a breakthrough would give some kind of political movements on there some some kind of political impetus but the dinner broke up after the working dinner broke up after 3 hours on the 2 statements emerging one from each side in this although it did extend the deadline to sunday i detect no enthusiasts and no compromise whatsoever i mean skimming through the words the underlaying statement spoke of a lively and interesting discussion but a clea

johnson accused peters of spreading disinformation. >> chairman -- >> judge starr. >> then drop it there. that is why. >> senator paul!> needs to return. >> starr to paul! >> this is -- this is terrible what you're doing to this committee and the great work. >> it is what you have do to this committee falsely accusing the chairman of spreading disinformation! >> reporter: chris krebs fired by trump warned republicans therapy playing in hands of u.s. adversaries. >> we have to stop this! it's undermining confidence in democracy. >> reporter: president was watching and tweeting, quote. mr. trump is furious that mcconnell acknowledged biden as president-elect tweeting. some gop leaders have not gotten the memo that biden won like house minority cleared kevin mccarthy. perhaps because top white house officials are engaging in double speak suggesting that mr. trump could remain in office while hinting he may run again in 2024. >> by 2024, look. he is the leader of this movement no matter what happens in 2020, 2024 is there for his taking. his base is strong and they are not going away. >> they may not be kind to mr. trump

if you're ron johnson clearly you will forever say something terrible happened to president trump and the election. obviously senator rand paulas chosen the same. but they're going to have to think hard about whether or not they say on january 20th that joe biden is president, he won a free and fair election, he has a legitimate presidency and donald trump has told his voters a lie. donald trump is going to take this forward as the new threshold question, and you are -- you're either in or you're out. and you cannot be in the middle. and so they have a few weeks left to make a very difficult choice, but you can see more and more who's going to stick with it. anyone running for president in 2024 is going to go along with this. and it's just -- it's an incredibly dangerous situation because not only are these threats escalating but people are becoming radicalized about this, and he is not willing to back down. and mitch mcconnell and leaders in the party like kevin mccarthy who's still fudging every single answer and dodge any accountability on this are going to step up or they're really going to run their party into the ground
