WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:05.610
>>> I WANT TO PARTICULARLY

00:05.612 --> 00:09.610
CONGRATULATE PRESIDENT-ELECT

00:09.611 --> 00:10.611
TRUMP.

00:10.612 --> 00:14.640
I THINK WE ALL AGREE THIS WAS A

00:14.674 --> 00:16.631
STUNNING ELECTION.

00:16.665 --> 00:18.779
AND CLEARLY AN INDICATION THAT

00:18.813 --> 00:20.392
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WOULD LIKE

00:20.427 --> 00:22.397
TO TRY SOMETHING NEW AND I KNOW

00:22.431 --> 00:24.154
THE SPEAKER SHARES MY VIEW WE’D

00:24.188 --> 00:27.126
LIKE TO SEE THE COUNTRY GO IN A

00:27.128 --> 00:31.073
DIFFERENT DIRECTION AND INTEND

00:31.074 --> 00:33.681
TO WORK WITH HIM TO CHANGE

00:33.682 --> 00:36.505
COURSES, TO CHANGE THE COURSE

00:36.506 --> 00:37.138
FOR AMERICA.

00:37.139 --> 00:37.962
OUR INSTITUTIONS ARE ACTUALLY

00:37.964 --> 00:38.965
BUILT FOR THIS.

00:38.999 --> 00:41.410
WE HAVE THE SYSTEM IN PLACE TO

00:41.444 --> 00:43.215
CONSIDER CONCERNS AND PRESIDENT

00:43.217 --> 00:47.842
TRUMP IS 100% WITHIN HIS RIGHTS

00:47.876 --> 00:49.729
TO LOOK INTO ALLEGATIONS OF

00:49.730 --> 00:50.680
IRREGULARITIES AND WEIGH HIS

00:50.714 --> 00:51.530
LEGAL OPTIONS.

00:51.532 --> 00:54.492
IF THE DEMOCRATS FEEL CONFIDENT

00:54.526 --> 00:56.992
THEY HAVE NOT OCCURRED, THEY

00:56.993 --> 01:00.701
SHOULD HAVE NO REASON TO FEAR

01:00.736 --> 01:01.718
ANY EXTRA SCRUTINY.

01:01.752 --> 01:02.904
>> THAT IS CORRECT.

01:02.905 --> 01:04.411
SENATE MAJORITY LEADER MITCH

01:04.446 --> 01:06.158
McCONNELL STOPPING SHORT OF

01:06.159 --> 01:07.463
ACKNOWLEDGING JOE BIDEN’S

01:07.465 --> 01:10.857
ELECTION WIN AS COMPARED TO 2016

01:10.858 --> 01:12.279
WHEN HE HAD

01:12.313 --> 01:13.809
PRESIDENT-ELECT BEFORE STATES

01:13.844 --> 01:15.660
CERTIFIED ELECTION RESULTS.

01:15.661 --> 01:18.097
JOINING US NOW SENIOR EDITOR AT

01:18.098 --> 01:19.314
THE DISPATCH, A COLUMNIST FOR

01:19.316 --> 01:21.023
TIME, DAVID FRENCH.

01:21.024 --> 01:24.279
HE IS OUT WITH A BOOK ENTITLED

01:24.314 --> 01:26.110
"DIVIDED WE FALL, AMERICA’S

01:26.144 --> 01:30.969
SUCCESSION THREAT AND HOW TO

01:31.003 --> 01:33.620
RESTORE OUR NATION."

01:33.621 --> 01:37.807
ALSO MSNBC POLITICAL ANALYST AND

01:37.841 --> 01:41.138
PUBLISHER OF THE NEWSLETTER DOT,

01:41.173 --> 01:45.990
INC., BIDEN CAN’T BE F.D.R. HE

01:46.025 --> 01:47.634
COULD STILL BE L.B.J.

01:47.635 --> 01:49.274
WE WILL GET TO WHAT THE BIDEN

01:49.275 --> 01:50.470
MODEL IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE IN A

01:50.471 --> 01:50.710
MOMENT.

01:50.712 --> 01:53.131
DAVID, WHAT MITCH McCONNELL SAID

01:53.165 --> 01:55.724
I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ON

01:55.726 --> 01:58.644
TWITTER AND WE HAVE SCREAMING,

01:58.679 --> 02:00.865
OH MY GOSH, BUT IT ACTUALLY WAS

02:00.866 --> 02:01.705
TRUE.

02:01.739 --> 02:07.225
YOU CAN DO WHAT THE PRESIDENT IS

02:07.259 --> 02:09.929
DOING AND DEMOCRATS ARE WAITING

02:09.931 --> 02:11.881
UNTIL SOMETHING LIKE EVIDENCE IS

02:11.882 --> 02:13.317
ACTUALLY BROUGHT FORWARD.

02:13.318 --> 02:15.208
NONE IS SEEN.

02:15.242 --> 02:16.394
NONE IS EXPECTED.

02:16.395 --> 02:18.325
BUT HE HAS A RIGHT TO DO WHAT HE

02:18.359 --> 02:18.845
IS DOING.

02:18.846 --> 02:21.090
>> HE HAS A RIGHT TO DO WHAT HE

02:21.125 --> 02:22.621
IS DOING, BUT WHAT HAS TO BE

02:22.622 --> 02:24.327
MADE VERY CLEAR TO THE AMERICAN

02:24.328 --> 02:25.890
PEOPLE IS THAT WILL NOT UPSET

02:25.891 --> 02:28.421
THE ELECTION RESULTS.

02:28.455 --> 02:30.980
I HAVE LOOKED AT THE LAWSUITS.

02:30.981 --> 02:32.795
I HAVE LOOKED AT THE VIDEO IVIRA

02:32.796 --> 02:34.156
CONSPIRACY THEORIES.

02:34.157 --> 02:36.002
THERE IS AN EXERCISE IN

02:36.037 --> 02:36.391
FUTILITY.

02:36.426 --> 02:39.486
SO WHAT’S HAPPENING IS THIS IS

02:39.487 --> 02:41.698
BEING ACTIVELY, AND MAINLY IN

02:41.733 --> 02:43.586
CONSERVATIVE MEDIA, MAINLY NOT

02:43.620 --> 02:46.741
FROM THE SENATORS, BUT MAINLY

02:46.743 --> 02:50.502
CONSERVATIVE MEDIA THIS FEVER IS

02:50.503 --> 02:51.961
SPREADING THAT THIS IS

02:51.995 --> 02:53.226
ILLEGITIMATE, IT’S BEEN TAKEN

02:53.261 --> 02:54.858
AWAY AND THEY HEAR LAWSUITS AND

02:54.893 --> 02:57.052
THEY THINK A JUDGE IS GOING TO

02:57.086 --> 02:57.906
INTERVENE AND CHANGE THE

02:57.940 --> 02:58.727
RESULTS.

02:58.762 --> 03:00.796
UNTIL YOU READ THESE LAWSUITS

03:00.797 --> 03:02.466
AND REALIZE THEY ARE NOT EVEN

03:02.468 --> 03:03.693
HAIL MARY PASSES.

03:03.694 --> 03:05.634
THEY ARE INSULTS TO HAIL MARY

03:05.668 --> 03:07.758
PASSES BECAUSE A HAIL MARY PASS

03:07.793 --> 03:10.070
CAN BE COMPLETED.

03:10.104 --> 03:12.045
IT’S FRIVOLOUS LITIGATION.

03:12.079 --> 03:13.490
THERE ARE VIRAL CONSPIRACY

03:13.491 --> 03:15.042
THEORIES WITHOUT ANY REAL

03:15.043 --> 03:16.721
EVIDENCE ONLINE.

03:16.755 --> 03:18.119
THIS ELECTION HAS ENDED.

03:18.153 --> 03:20.329
THERE IS NOTHING THAT HAS BEEN

03:20.330 --> 03:21.779
BROUGHT FORWARD YET THAT COMES

03:21.780 --> 03:24.555
CLOSE TO UPSETTING THE RESULTS

03:24.589 --> 03:26.287
OF THIS ELECTION, AND TENS OF

03:26.321 --> 03:28.840
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE BEING

03:28.841 --> 03:29.331
TOLD OTHERWISE.

03:29.332 --> 03:30.532
THEY ARE BEING LIED TO.

03:30.533 --> 03:31.505
THEY ARE BEING DECEIVED.

03:31.506 --> 03:33.155
>> WE ARE HEARING REPUBLICANS,

03:33.156 --> 03:34.281
INCLUDING THE MAJORITY LEADER,

03:34.315 --> 03:36.072
BENDING OVER BACKWARDS TO SAY WE

03:36.106 --> 03:37.315
HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL STATES

03:37.316 --> 03:38.645
CERTIFY THE RESULTS BEFORE WE

03:38.679 --> 03:39.396
CAN ACKNOWLEDGE A

03:39.430 --> 03:40.013
PRESIDENT-ELECT.

03:40.014 --> 03:42.199
WE HAVE GOT TO LOOK THROUGH ALL

03:42.233 --> 03:43.042
THIS.

03:43.076 --> 03:45.656
WE PLAYED A CLIP OF HIM HOURS

03:45.657 --> 03:48.395
AFTER DONALD TRUMP WAS GIVEN THE

03:48.396 --> 03:50.932
PRESIDENCY BY THE MEDIA THE DAY

03:50.933 --> 03:51.925
AFTER ELECTION DAY

03:51.959 --> 03:52.439
CONGRATULATING PRESIDENT-ELECT

03:52.440 --> 03:52.695
TRUMP.

03:52.730 --> 03:53.796
THEY ARE WITHIN THEIR RIGHTS.

03:53.797 --> 03:55.769
THEY ARE SAYING WHAT THEY THINK

03:55.803 --> 03:57.672
THEY NEED TO SAY, STILL EVEN

03:57.706 --> 03:59.784
THOUGH HE IS ON HIS WAY OUT, TO

03:59.818 --> 04:02.085
NOT INCUR THE WRATH OF DONALD

04:02.087 --> 04:02.432
TRUMP.

04:02.467 --> 04:05.504
WHAT WOULD YOU HOPE TO HEAR FROM

04:05.538 --> 04:06.581
PRINCIPAL REPUBLICANS IN THIS

04:06.615 --> 04:07.131
MOMENT?

04:07.166 --> 04:11.499
>> WHAT WE HAVE HEARD, FOR

04:11.533 --> 04:13.491
EXAMPLE, MITT ROMNEY, WHO

04:13.525 --> 04:14.572
CONGRATULATED PRESIDENT-ELECT

04:14.607 --> 04:16.138
JOE BIDEN ON HIS OBVIOUS

04:16.140 --> 04:16.630
VICTORY.

04:16.631 --> 04:18.862
NO SENATOR CAN BLOCK ANY

04:18.897 --> 04:20.738
CITIZEN’S ACCESS TO THE COURTS.

04:20.772 --> 04:22.532
NO SENATOR CAN BLOCK THE TRUMP

04:22.533 --> 04:24.054
CAMPAIGN’S ACCESS TO THE COURTS.

04:24.055 --> 04:25.663
THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THE COURTS.

04:25.665 --> 04:27.315
THEY WILL USE THAT, AND THESE

04:27.316 --> 04:28.850
LAWSUITS WILL WORK THEIR WAY

04:28.852 --> 04:31.832
THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND THEY ARE

04:31.834 --> 04:33.307
GOING TO FAIL TO STOP

04:33.341 --> 04:33.882
PRESIDENT-ELECT BIDEN.

04:33.916 --> 04:35.780
YOU ARE ALLOWED TO DO THAT.

04:35.781 --> 04:37.305
YOU ARE ALLOWED TO MAKE THAT

04:37.306 --> 04:38.786
ASSESSMENT AS A SENATOR.

04:38.787 --> 04:40.995
BUT I DON’T THINK YOU CAN OVER

04:40.996 --> 04:42.273
EMPHASIZE, IT’S NOT JUST THE

04:42.274 --> 04:44.149
PRESIDENT THAT THESE SENATORS

04:44.150 --> 04:46.800
DON’T WANT TO MAKE ANGRY.

04:46.801 --> 04:49.273
IT IS A CONSERVATIVE MEDIA ECHO

04:49.307 --> 04:51.089
SYSTEM THAT RIGHT NOW, WITH SOME

04:51.123 --> 04:53.014
NOTABLE EXCEPTIONS, BUT RIGHT

04:53.015 --> 04:55.505
NOW IS LOSING ITS MIND.

04:55.506 --> 04:57.326
IT IS ESSENTIALLY WHIPPING UP A

04:57.327 --> 04:58.631
FRENZY WITHIN THE AMERICAN

04:58.666 --> 05:00.925
PUBLIC TO THE POINT WHERE A

05:00.959 --> 05:02.668
RECENT POLL SHOWED ABOUT 70% OF

05:02.670 --> 05:03.895
REPUBLICANS DON’T BELIEVE THE

05:03.930 --> 05:05.821
ELECTION WAS FREE OR FAIR, WHICH

05:05.822 --> 05:06.453
IS ABSURD.

05:06.454 --> 05:08.114
ACTUALLY, THE ELECTION WAS A

05:08.148 --> 05:09.623
TRIBUTE TO THE AMERICAN

05:09.624 --> 05:10.112
ELECTORAL PROCESS THAT THIS MANY
