THANK YOU GILES FOR THAT UPDATE
AT STICKING WITH THE HEADLINES
OUT OF OUR NATION'S CAPITAL I
WANT TO BRING IN POLITICAL,
IT'S DANIEL LIPPMAN FOR MORE
DANIEL GOOD TO SEE YOU
AS ALWAYS DOES ONE SIDE SEEM TO
HAVE THE UPPER HAND HERE IN THE
SENATE STANDOFF BETWEEN BERNIE
SANDERS AND MITCH MCCONNELL,
HOW HE SORT OF SEE THIS PLAYING
OUT TODAY.
>> I MITCH MCCONNELL
HAS THE UPPER HAND IN TERMS
GETTING AN OVERRIDE OF THIS NDA
A BILL BECAUSE
MOST MEMBERS
THINK WANTED TO GET OVER IT AND
TRUMP'S VETO THEY THINK IT'S
VERY IMPORTANT TO GET THE MONEY
TO THE TROOPS AND
TO KEEP AMERICA ON A STRONG
DEFENSE POSTURE, ESPECIALLY
WITH PETS FROM IRAN AND NORTH
KOREA AND OTHER ADVERSARIES.
AND SO I THINK IT WILL
TURN OUT OK FOR IT MIGHT JUST
TAKE YOU KNOW AN EXTRA DAY
OR 2. TO BERNIE SANDERS,
MOLLIFIED A LITTLE BIT.
>> AND IS THIS GIVING
DAVID PERDUE AND KELLY LOEFFLER
IN GEORGIA POLITICAL COVER IN
PREPARATION FOR TUESDAY'S
RUNOFF ELECTIONS SINCE BOTH OF
THEM JUST CAME OUT THIS WEEK
DANIELSON THAT THEY SUPPORT THE
$2000 CHECKS. BUT CLEARLY MITCH
MCCONNELL ESSENTIALLY MAYBE
GIVING THEM COVER FOR THIS.
>> NO I I YOU KNOW IT'S SMART
FOR THEM TO SUPPORT
THIS MONEY AND THERE'S A LOT OF
GEORGIANS WHO ARE HURTING AND
CAN USE THAT $1000. AND I
THINK MCCONNELL.
YOU KNOW HE PROBABLY CAREFULLY
WEIGHED THE POLITICAL
IMPLICATIONS OF THEIR MOVES AND
SO. AND SURE THEIR STRATEGISTS
ARE SAYING THAT IT'S IT'S SMART
NOT TO BE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF
THIS AND SO, BUT IT IS A
KIND OF SYMBOLIC KNOW THAT
THESE CHECKS, I'M NOT GOING TO
PASS AND SO IT'S JUST 2
REPUBLICAN VERY CALM THE ENTIRE
MEAN 5 DAYS BEFORE
THE ELECTION.
>> DANIEL IS IS THIS BASICALLY
GOING TO BE THE PLAYBOOK OF
WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE JOE
BIDEN MAY BE DO WHEN HE TAKES
OFFICE ON THE 20TH YOU THINK
THAT THE $2000 STIMULUS CHECKS
WILL BE REVIVED AGAIN IN THAT
CONVERSATION ON CAPITOL HILL
WHEN BIDEN TAKES OFFICE.
>> I'M SURE THAT HE'S GOING TO
PUSH FOR SOME
TYPE OF NUMBER BUT IF THERE'S A
REPUBLICAN SENATE THEM. HE
HAS TO KEEP THAT UNDER
CONSIDERATION SINCE HE HAS TO
GET THAT PASSED WE CAN'T JUST
UNILATERALLY SEND OUT CHECKS
WITHOUT CONGRESS'S APPROVAL AND
SO THERE'S AN
APPROPRIATIONS PROCESS. AND WAS
NOT A
STRICT APPROPRIATIONS. IT IS
THEY NEED THE GREEN LIGHT AND
FROM CONGRESS
AND SO HE'S PROBABLY GONNA TALK
TO MCCONNELL AND TRY TO FIGURE
OUT IF THERE'S ADDITIONAL
STIMULUS MCCONNELL STATES OPEN
THAT CONVERSATION BUT I FEEL
LIKE THERE ISN'T TOO MUCH AND
IT'S NEAT. YOU KNOW APPETITE ON
THE REPUBLICAN SIDE FOR
MORE MONEY.
>> DANIEL LET'S SWITCH GEARS
AND TALK ABOUT JOSH HOWLEY
OBVIOUSLY HE MADE A LOT OF NEWS
YESTERDAY ESSENTIALLY SAYING
HE'S GOING
TO OBJECT TO THE CERTIFICATION
OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES
ON JANUARY,
THE 6TH WHAT SORT OF THE
POLITICAL IMPETUS HERE FOR JOSH
HOWLEY IS THIS STRICTLY ON
MAYBE POTENTIALLY
2024 AMBITIONS FOR KIM, YOU
KNOW STAY CLOSE TO PRESIDENT
TRUMP WISE JOSH HALEIGH
ESSENTIALLY DOING THIS.
>> I THINK IT'S A COMBINATION
OF ALL THOSE
REASONS THAT HE WANTS TO TRY TO
GET TRUMP SUPPORTERS TO BACK
HIM IN 2024 AND SO
ANYTHING THAT. YOU CAN DO TO
INDICATE THAT HE'S ON TRUMP'S
SIDE HE WILL DO SO. IT'S
ANOTHER REASON THAT HE IS
SUPPORTING SECTION 2.30 REFORM
BECAUSE HE WANTS TO.
YOU KNOW THAT'S ANOTHER PET
BECAUSE OF TRUMP AND IT'S
SOMETHING THAT BIDEN SUPPORTS
AS WELL. AND SO I THINK THERE'S
THERE'S A LOT OF JOCKEYING
AMONG REPUBLICAN. SENATORS AND
GOVERNORS WHO ARE THINKING OF
RUNNING IN
2024 AND THEY ARCHER ALL TRYING
TO GET THE TRUMP BASE BECAUSE
THEY KNOW THAT EVEN THOUGH
TRUMP MAY SAY HE YOU MIGHT WANT
TO RUN IN 2024. THEY
KNOW THAT HE IS LIKELY TO NOT
ACTUALLY ENTER
THE RACE.
>> I DON'T HOW DO YOU SEE
WEDNESDAY ON CAPITOL HILL
PLAYING OUT ON ALL OF THIS YOU
KNOW OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE
MULTIPLE HOUSE MEMBERS WHO SAY
THAT THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO VOTE
TO OVERRIDE THIS.
TOMMY TOLD I TUBERVILLE PUT
THAT THE NEW SENATOR-ELECT FROM
ALABAMA HAS SAID HE WANTS TO
JOIN JOSH VALLEY AND ALL
OF THIS. NO DOUBT IT'S NOT
GOING TO OVERTURN THE RESULTS,
JOE BIDEN WILL STILL BE
CERTIFIED THE WINNER, BUT SORT
OF HOW DO YOU SEE THIS PLAYING
OUT ON WEDNESDAY.
>> THAT'S GOING TO BE A MESS
THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO USE
EVERY PROCEDURAL TRICK IN
THE BOOK. BOTH TO TRY TO STOP
DEBATE ON THIS AND
JUST GET.
CERTIFICATION OVER WITH AND
THEN TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE GOING
TO TRY TO RAISE EVERY STATE
THERE WERE THEY HAVE CONCERNS
ELECTION FRAUD
EVEN THOUGH THERE REALLY HAS
NOT BEEN MUCH EVIDENCE OF
WIDESPREAD
AND SO IT'S VERY UNCLEAR, HOW
YOU KNOW I THINK ALI IS GOING
TO OBJECT AT LEAST ONE
STATES RESULTS. BUT THIS IS ALL
ABOUT KIND OF MAKING TRUMP
FEEL LIKE. REPUBLICANS ON THE
HILL ARE FIGHTING FOR HIM, IT'S
DOESN'T HAVE AN ACTUAL LIKE
THIS THEY HAVE AN ACTUAL LIKE
THIS TIME.
>> ALL RIGHT. CNN'S KAITLAN
COLLINS REPORTED EARLIER THE
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS NOT PLANNING
TO STAY AT MAR-A-LAGO FOR NEW
YEAR'S HE'S PLANNING TO GO BACK
TO THE
WHITE HOUSE. HOW DO YOU SORT OF
SEE THE NEXT 20 DAYS PLAYING
OUT DANIEL ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE
FACT THAT
JOE BIDEN MOST LIKELY IS GOING
TO BE CERTIFIED THE WINNER ON
JANUARY THE 6TH WHAT DOES
PRESIDENT TRUMP DO AFTER THAT.
>> WELL YOU KNOW YOU STILL HAVE
TO THERE ARE STILL SOME TIMES
BILLS THAT. US POST OFFICE IS
TELLING US TO THEY MAY TRY TO
DO SOME. YOU KNOW COUPLE STILL
SEE IF IT'S STILL A REPUBLICAN
SENATE. IF THERE'S ANY OPEN
JUDGES, BUT IT IT'S REALLY KIND
OF CLEANING HOUSE AT THE WHITE
UNIT GETTING READY TO LEAVE
OFFICE. BUT
I DON'T.
>> EXPECT HIM TO DO YOU KNOW
INAUGURATION
T YOUR.
>> YOU KNOW LUNCH JOE BIDEN
THEY CAN OR EVEN ATTEND THE
INAUGURATION SINCE THAT WAY
KIND OF PUT HIS STAMP OF
APPROVAL ON. BIDEN AS A
LEGITIMATE PRESIDENT HE JUST
DOESN'T WANT TO DO THAT.
>> DANIEL OR IS THE EXPECTATION
HERE THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP LEFT
MARA LAGO TODAY BECAUSE HE
THINKS HE STILL CAN OVERTURN
THE ELECTION RESULTS.
>> IT'S UNCLEAR I WAS TALKING
TO SOME SOURCES JUST SAYING
THEY JUST DON'T.
>> KNOW WHY HE WOULD LEAVE
EARLY MAY.
>> SHE IS SKIPPING DONALD TRUMP
JUNIOR'S BIRTH AND HE LOVES TO
ATTEND
YOU KNOW RED CARPET CEREMONY AT
MAR-A-LAGO FOR THEIR NEW
YEAR'S.
PARTY. I WAS THERE LAST YEAR
COVERING IT
SO WE HAVE SOME THERE SOME
BUBBLING UP IRAN TENSIONS AND
SO HE MIGHT WANT TO BE BACK IN
WASHINGTON
FOR THAT. BUT HE IS JUST KIND
OF MAYBE IT'S JUST TIRED OF
