in a lot of ░░░░░░░░ they weren t able ░░░░░░░░ count the millions of ░░░░░░░░ in ballots until election ░░░░░░░░ And everybody knew that ░░░░░░░░ fact it happened In ░░░░░░░░ it went the other ░░░░░░░░ They were able to ░░░░░░░░ mail in ballots early ░░░░░░░░ it favored Biden early ░░░░░░░░ then it swung to ░░░░░░░░ In Pennsylvania they had ░░░░░░░░ count the mail in ░░░░░░░░ late so it started ░░░░░░░░ Trump and then it ░░░░░░░░ to Biden I mean ░░░░░░░░ me put it this ░░░░░░░░ The attorney general of ░░░░░░░░ United States Bill Barr ░░░░░░░░ by Donald Trump said ░░░░░░░░ had his federal investigators ░░░░░░░░ out There was no ░░░░░░░░ fraud Well Chris of ░░░░░░░░ look at New York ░░░░░░░░ Claudia Tenney race in ░░░░░░░░ York she s up ░░░░░░░░ 12 votes Just the ░░░░░░░░ day they found 55 ░░░░░░░░ in a desk drawer ░░░░░░░░ kind of stuff people ░░░░░░░░ at this and go ░░░░░░░░ is going on This ░░░░░░░░ the United States of ░░░░░░░░ it s not Venezuela ░░░░░░░░ s what gets people ░░░░░░░░ Why is this still ░░░░░░░░ on Let s have ░░░░░░░░ chain of custody let ░░░░░░░░ get back to making ░░░░░░░░ that everybody can have ░░░░░░░░ confidence in our elections ░░░░░░░░ just

░░░░░░░░ weeks from now We ░░░░░░░░ to encourage people to ░░░░░░░░ out but also to ░░░░░░░░ a system where there ░░░░░░░░ going to be more ░░░░░░░░ than what they saw ░░░░░░░░ in November Chris But ░░░░░░░░ have been dozens of ░░░░░░░░ and they ve been ░░░░░░░░ by state courts by ░░░░░░░░ courts by federal courts ░░░░░░░░ judges appointed by Donald ░░░░░░░░ and on Friday night ░░░░░░░░ Supreme Court threw out ░░░░░░░░ lawsuit that was brought ░░░░░░░░ the attorney general of ░░░░░░░░ and a number of ░░░░░░░░ attorney generals 126 Republicans ░░░░░░░░ the house including you ░░░░░░░░ signed onto that lawsuit ░░░░░░░░ Supreme Court threw it ░░░░░░░░ without even listening to ░░░░░░░░ This was a lawsuit ░░░░░░░░ was going to throw ░░░░░░░░ the votes in four ░░░░░░░░ states Georgia Pennsylvania Michigan ░░░░░░░░ Wisconsin I mean you ░░░░░░░░ talking about disenfranchising the ░░░░░░░░ million Biden voters who ░░░░░░░░ the President Elect in ░░░░░░░░ four states Do you ░░░░░░░░ comfortable throwing out millions ░░░░░░░░ votes of your fellow ░░░░░░░░ Nobody wants any votes ░░░░░░░░ out Chris In fact ░░░░░░░░ 70 plus million votes ░░░░░░░░ That s what your ░░░░░░░░ would have done sir ░░░░░░░░ you look at the ░░░░░░░░ lawsuit what it was ░░░░░░░░ is there are some ░░░░░░░░ that didn t follow ░░░░░░░░ laws that were on ░░░░░░░░ books the Constitution is ░░░░░░░░ clear that it s ░░░░░░░░ legislatures that set the ░░░░░░░░ for having electors Chris ░░░░░░░░ Supreme Court threw that ░░░░░░░░ They didn t even ░░░░░░░░ it They said they ░░░░░░░░ t going to take ░░░░░░░░ case They said Texas ░░░░░░░░ t have standing They ░░░░░░░░ t say they were ░░░░░░░░ to address the merits ░░░░░░░░ the Supreme Court I ░░░░░░░░ a lot of people ░░░░░░░░ didn t want to ░░░░░░░░ anywhere near this They ░░░░░░░░ t like to get ░░░░░░░░ the middle of disputes ░░░░░░░░ other branches of government ░░░░░░░░ s something they ve ░░░░░░░░ throughout history Chris So ░░░░░░░░ line even though the ░░░░░░░░ tomorrow are More than ░░░░░░░░ of them are going ░░░░░░░░ say that Joe Biden ░░░░░░░░ the next president of ░░░░░░░░ United States you re ░░░░░░░░ willing to recognize him ░░░░░░░░ the President Elect and ░░░░░░░░ re not will contesting ░░░░░░░░ election Hold on Chris ░░░░░░░░ of all Joe Biden ░░░░░░░░ been going through a ░░░░░░░░ that even President Trump ░░░░░░░░ while he s also ░░░░░░░░ what the court allows ░░░░░░░░ are legal challenges allowed ░░░░░░░░ said back during bush ░░░░░░░░ gore prior to the ░░░░░░░░ Court finally resolving it ░░░░░░░░ ultimately there was electors ░░░░░░░░ there was a swearing ░░░░░░░░ Nobody disputed that maybe ░░░░░░░░ of the Democrat side ░░░░░░░░ didn t see people ░░░░░░░░ prior to that to ░░░░░░░░ judgment before it was ░░░░░░░░ resolved Let the legal ░░░░░░░░ play out If you ░░░░░░░░ to restore trust by ░░░░░░░░ of people who are ░░░░░░░░ very frustrated and angry ░░░░░░░░ what happened that s ░░░░░░░░ you ve got to ░░░░░░░░ this whole system play ░░░░░░░░ There will be a ░░░░░░░░ sworn in on January ░░░░░░░░ But let s let ░░░░░░░░ legal process play itself ░░░░░░░░ Chris We learned this ░░░░░░░░ that the Justice Department ░░░░░░░░ investigating the President Elect ░░░░░░░░ son Hunter Biden for ░░░░░░░░ financial dealings with foreign ░░░░░░░░ We also learned this ░░░░░░░░ that attorney general Barr ░░░░░░░░ of course about this ░░░░░░░░ and decided to keep ░░░░░░░░ secret before the election ░░░░░░░░ conformance with Justice Department ░░░░░░░░ not to interfere in ░░░░░░░░ election Do you think ░░░░░░░░ was right to do ░░░░░░░░ Look again this is ░░░░░░░░ of those things that ░░░░░░░░ more disof trust This ░░░░░░░░ the infamous New York ░░░░░░░░ front page story that ░░░░░░░░ blocked because Twitter said ░░░░░░░░ wasn t valid You ░░░░░░░░ you expressed concern about ░░░░░░░░ story many in the ░░░░░░░░ media were mocking people ░░░░░░░░ were putting the story ░░░░░░░░ there Turns out looks ░░░░░░░░ it was true This ░░░░░░░░ something that s very ░░░░░░░░ We need I think ░░░░░░░░ deserve answers Chris We ░░░░░░░░ t know if anything ░░░░░░░░ true or of not ░░░░░░░░ know there s an ░░░░░░░░ going on Let me ░░░░░░░░ you a different question ░░░░░░░░ even that was being ░░░░░░░░ out That s where ░░░░░░░░ blocked even the story ░░░░░░░░ the New York Post ░░░░░░░░ I never blocked it ░░░░░░░░ reported on it Twitter ░░░░░░░░ t Chris I understand ░░░░░░░░ s what President Elect ░░░░░░░░ says about the Department ░░░░░░░░ Justice and his administration ░░░░░░░░ s not my Justice ░░░░░░░░ It s the people ░░░░░░░░ Justice Department So the ░░░░░░░░ or persons I pick ░░░░░░░░ run that department are ░░░░░░░░ to be people who ░░░░░░░░ going to have the ░░░░░░░░ capacity to decide who ░░░░░░░░ prosecuted who doesn t ░░░░░░░░ Do you trust Joe ░░░░░░░░ to continue this investigation ░░░░░░░░ he becomes president and ░░░░░░░░ attorney general is in ░░░░░░░░ after January 20th to ░░░░░░░░ the investigation of his ░░░░░░░░ Well I m sure ░░░░░░░░ would be put up ░░░░░░░░ attorney general would be ░░░░░░░░ scrutinized by the United ░░░░░░░░ Senate That is the ░░░░░░░░ and consent role that ░░░░░░░░ would play But again ░░░░░░░░ are concerns that were ░░░░░░░░ out during the campaign ░░░░░░░░ yourself other people in ░░░░░░░░ media expressed concerns about ░░░░░░░░ story and Twitter blocked ░░░░░░░░ distribution of the story ░░░░░░░░ it turns out there ░░░░░░░░ a lot of merit ░░░░░░░░ it whether it s ░░░░░░░░ true or not we ░░░░░░░░ going to find out ░░░░░░░░ it s being much ░░░░░░░░ widely reported now after ░░░░░░░░ election and it s ░░░░░░░░ reason that people have ░░░░░░░░ distrust in the mainstream ░░░░░░░░ Chris Again just quickly ░░░░░░░░ of the people who ░░░░░░░░ t report that story ░░░░░░░░ attorney general Barr who ░░░░░░░░ kept the investigation quiet ░░░░░░░░ you blame him for ░░░░░░░░ that Well again it ░░░░░░░░ very frustrating I would ░░░░░░░░ to hear his reason ░░░░░░░░ But at the same ░░░░░░░░ you see a lot ░░░░░░░░ these things that are ░░░░░░░░ on and the president ░░░░░░░░ talking about a lot ░░░░░░░░ other people were talking ░░░░░░░░ it too but for ░░░░░░░░ reasons you saw the ░░░░░░░░ media who would block ░░░░░░░░ distribution of those stories.
