on the trumper, there was a legislative framework created. so whoever is the new secretary of state, where is the new, say, representative in the un, they're going to act in their legislative framework left by the terrible congress. you know, the congress under mr. trump introduced things, right, cuts, which actually a kind of institutionalized us, a kind of hybrid war against russia. just imagine these people obliged their american state to keep track of rich people in russia who have connections to the government, their families, you know, to, to pursue them basically around the world. well, that was basically a legislative declaration or war for many years. so unfortunately, the new demonstration, whoever joins us is going to act inside that framework. but you know, what really struck me was the fact that despite the fact that 74000000 at least 74000000 americans voted for trump, there is no respect for them. there is no excuse for go by it and you know, some people call hugo bottom. i think it's a very, it's a very good name because basic

party has been subsumed by donald trump, but there still is a group of, you can call them never trumpersup of republicans who don't line up with democrats but who also really don't have a home in trump's party. what becomes of them in this new kind of universe? do they try to run someone against donald trump? do they ultimately end up as independents? where do they go? >> you know, i think that's a really good question, because until you start to see republicans losing office, i don't think you're going to have that kind of reckoning, where enough of them start to say, wait a second, maybe we should rethink our fealty to this man, because, frankly, if you look at the down-ballot races, kasie, the republicans did pretty well this time. i mean, they took a handful of seats from democrats in the house. they won senate races that they weren't supposed to win, like in maine, in iowa, in north carolina. so, i think that right now, the republicans i'm talking to are just looking at the results of november, apart from the top of the ticket, the president of the united states, and saying, all rig

cynthia johnson who documented threats against herself on facebook said in the video you trumpers beareful, walk lightly and later made a more severe threat. >>> texas is moving forward with its request the supreme court overturned the certified election results in wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania and georgia. five supreme court justices would have to vote to even hear the case. >>> speaking of accusations, the texas attorney general who brought the suit is pictured here under indictment for securities fraud and has been accused by eight of his senior staff of malfesance in office. >>> we're tracking all the things that are happening and they happen very quickly. we're on twitter talking about it, as well. you can find me there, @sco @scottmcgrew. >>> trending this morning, marcus, new year's is getting close and you know what that means, new year's resolutions for you. >> new year, new me. sticking to your new year's resolution. okay. it may not be all what you do but how you word it. a swedish researcher, they actually found that the way you phrase your resolution such as i will s

i think we do know that he is a full on trumper. he hasn't been one to stand up to this president even as he lies about this election. so you have what looks like a pretty good number of people in the house, people like mo brooks, possibly someone like jim jordan as well who want to take a stand, what they see as a stand against essentially democracy. this he wouldn't call it that but that is what it is if they object to seating the electors into electing joe biden. listen, they are still the party of donald trump even though donald trump lost this election and he is holding on to them with an iron grip and they're happy to be in his embrace. >> john? >> what spineless cowardice. mitch mcconnell is trying to corral his folks and what mccarthy is doing is the opposite of leadership because he is afraid of the autocrat caucus even though he knows what the stakes are, even though he knows what's right and if folks don't -- you can't pretend to be a patriot if you try to actively undermine our democracy. the point about the congressman

. >> this is just a warning to you trumpers. be careful, walk lightly.ough of the shenanigans. enough. it's enough. and for those of you who are soldiers, you know how to do it. do it right. be in order. make them pay. >> harris: michigan's republican state house leaders have now removed johnson from her committee seat and say they are looking into further disciplinary action. they added that threats of any kind are unacceptable but that johnson's behavior was "unbecoming of an elected official." katie? >> katie: yeah, violence and threats like that are inexcusable no matter who makes them but for this woman, a democrat to say something like "soldiers know how to do this and you should be scared, you know what to do." that sounds like more than just a threat to me, that sounds like she wants american soldiers to go against their fellow americans with severe violence so that i don't she should be threatened and i also don't think she should be making threats against those she politically disagrees with. >> harris: john? >> john: i think it's an extremely

trumpers, they just trump. he is their everything.nd every day we get closer to too many being left with nothing. i wonder what these kids' pleas will mean. i wonder if they will make any difference. so what do we know about where relief stands tonight? especially this curiously sticky bit about balancing the interest of the employers of those who are not employed? i'm joined now by katie porter, representative of california. you're a mom. you still got warm blood coursing through there. you haven't been in congress that long. it is hard to feel the hurt of these kids and it is hard to say that better is coming their way. first of all, just what are we supposed to do with that, the fact that our kids are in this kind of place. >> it's incredibly difficult to n future and take care of your kids at this time. so many are worried about keeping their kids fed and keeping a roof over their head. this is a crisis. we also have an epidemic of hunger, an epidemic of housing insecurity, an epidemic of unemployment. what we do not have is an ep

this is about the loose ground of an awkward appeal to trumpers who, by the way, will never accept you. the chairman of the homeland security committee, senator ron johnson, urging the attorney general to show everybody, ready, show everybody your evidence there was no mass fraud. are you serious? senator, please show us evidence that you are not a fool. let's make this easy. how about asking trump for the evidence that there is fraud? none of them has even asked ever. we know why. they know there is no proof, and they know that it is nothing to do with the truth for trump or for them. you want the truth of how they would see this situation? just change an r to a d and go back four years. listen to what the person steering what was the republican party, the head of the rnc, ron mcdaniel, said about exactly what she's selling right now. recount efforts in michigan by jill stein. she was the green party candidate back then. our friends at cnn's k file, they find you when you defy, and they dug this up. >> in our state, about 1% of the vote is now going to come from michigan taxpayers up
