Will be reelected, and that will have a huge impact historically on what happens. This is the most important runoff in american history. Harris just minutes from now, ill interview one of the candidates, georgia senator Kelly Loeffler, lives right here on overtime pay first, lets get to the news. Jonathan serrie is live in atlanta with the latest. Speak of the georgia secretary of state says he is conducting a whole of government approach to combating illegal voting here in the state of georgia. Multiple agencies, including the Georgia Bureau of investigation, are assisting with ongoing efforts across the state, including a signature audit in Metro Atlantas cobb county. He says, i am committed to marshaling all Resources Available to ensure qualified georgians and only georgians cast ballots in georgia. He has mailed approximately 8,000 letters to voters requesting absentee ballots who also filled outofstate changes filed outofstate changes of address with the u. S. Postal service, to warn them that voting in georgia is illegal if they have established residence in those other states. But a group called true to the vote has submitted electric challenges that will require more than 264,000 voters who file outofstate or instate challenges of address to prove e casting ballots in the county where they are registered. The Organization Says they research was performed uniformly across all counties without regard to any demographic or voting history. But democrats are critical of these midelection investigations of voters, including the Senate Candidate who cast an early ballot today. When senator perdue supports efforts to throw out ballots cast by his own constituents, thats an attack on black voters here in georgia. Elections officials and several large Metro Atlanta counties have already declined these elector challenges. The county is about to take up the issue this afternoon. Harris, back to you. Steele and jonathan, thank you very much there is growing outrage now over young and healthy members of Congress Getting the covid19 vaccine before atrisk americans. Lawmakers from both political parties, including progressives, congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez and Ayanna Pressley, posted photographs of themselves getting the shot. However, fellow socalled squad member ilhan omar of minnesota says she wont do it. Tweeting, it would make sense if it was age, but unfortunately it is of importance, and it is shameful. We are not more important than frontline workers, teachers, et cetera who are making sacrifices every day, which is why i wont take it. And democratic congresswoman tilson gabbard said this. Heartless have decided lies of elderly americans dont camp it is immoral and bad health policy. I plan to take the vaccine, but will now stand in solidarity with our seniors by not doing so until they can. Harris lets get a doctors take. Dr. Marc siegel joins me now, Fox News Contributor and professor of medicine at nyu langone medical center. Youve been along for this journey every step of the late with us explaining the vaccine. What do you think and what is your reaction to what youve just seen happening on capitol hill, and the reaction . I spoke to some members of congress over the weekend, and i have to say im hearing the vaccine is almost being given out in the hallways. I have to agree with congresswoman omar and gifford that basically is being done for grandstanding purposes. If aoc was right, and it was being done to get compliance going, then i would be more for it. I like our leaders doing it for the sake of compliance, which is why i like Vice President pence doing it even though hes only 61. At this point, its getting to the point where its clearly front of the line. Im afraid is a virus, let me get the vaccine. Are your constituents going to take it, more likely, because you do you . That the question. The answer is theres too many people in the front of the line. Harris and you are talking about Tulsi Gabbard there, and on the other side of the aisle, taking criticism is senator marco rubio for much of the same thing. Lets pop this up on the screen. Congresswoman Garcia Cortez fired back at the critics o on. Maybe if the g. O. P. Hadnt spent so much time undermining, i wouldnt have to weigh the potential misinformation consequences of what would happen if leaders urged people to take any vaccine that we werent taking ourselves. It feels like circular reasoning. Im a lot more linear than that. What do you think . Of course it is. I think all of this is politicizing the issue here. What does the issue of masking have to do with this . Of course everyone should wear a mask and distance, and of course travel should be restricted. What does that have to do with the vaccine . The vaccine is incredible. Ill be taking mine this week, i think im going to be in tears just thinking of a vaccine coming in ten months. Everyone should be on board that ship, everyone should be cheering. Actually like the cdcs format for who gets it when. Health care workers because we can spread it to our patients, nursing home residents because they are dying at an unprecedented rate, as you just pointed out. In outnumbered. 39 of nursing home residents, 39 of the deaths of covid are among nursing residents. They must be at the front of the line before congress people. Harris we put up the chart from the ccd release yesterday so our viewers could see it. I had on my twitter. Its very important for people to understand. If politicians are getting these shots, where are they coming from in the whole batch . Where there extra shots ordered for them . Because its got to come from somewhere. Its like time, if you take up ten seconds, where is it coming from . It is they are ready to be distributed. Unfortunately, too much got distributed over to capitol hill. It should have been rolling on that truck to a nursing home. They came second, by the way. Health care workers got a first, and to be fair we got it because it is easy to send it from michigan to our medical centers. The Nursing Homes are just starting to get it now. They dont have it yet. Theyll get over the next few days. They should have gotten it before the trucks rolled to congress, in my opinion. Harris right. Continuity of government is something people are talking about, and that is kind of a separate thing now. Age, i would imagine, does come into play. Lets move on. Meanwhile, massachusetts inmates will reportedly be among the first in the state to receive the covid19 vaccine. They, along with people in homeless shelters, can get the vaccine after medical workers and residents in longterm care facilities. However, the four seniors and other atrisk individuals, prisoners will get it. Massachusetts congresswomen and squad member Ayanna Pressley says inmates should be vaccinated early. Watch. Im going to continue to fight for our most vulnerable. Communities that have been disproportionately impacted by the virus, for our health care workers, are essential workers, incarcerated men and women, to be prioritized in the distribution of the vaccine. Harris dr. Siegel . We have talked about this on this show, harris. Im actually agreeing with the idea of prisoners getting it at the front of the line, too, before even potentially the elderly. Ill tell you why, because they spend 400,000 cases in prisons, 400,000. Thats 20 of the entire prison population in the United States that has had covid19, with 1800 deaths, which is twice the amount in the general population. In other words, get it into the facilities where it is spreading like wildfire. Then it spreads to the guards and outside the facilities. Same concept in Nursing Homes as in prisons. If it spreading wildly in the presence, lets get them the vaccine early. Harris all right, the European Union is recommending that all members discourage nonessential travel to and from the u. K. After more contagious strain of the coronavirus was found in Great Britain. However, dr. Anthony faucis urging everyone to stay calm, saying without a doubt keep an eye on it, that we dont want to overreact. I actually talked with the surgeon general, dr. Jerome adams, yesterday about this new strain, this development. Heres what he told me. The mutation we see is not so far giving us an indication that it will make the vaccine less effective. With that said, even if we do get a mutation in the future, remember, we do this with seasonal flu every year. We know how to deal with it. Whats important for people to understand, this doesnt change what we need to do. We need to wear masks, wash hands, watch our distance, and wait on gatherings. Harris dr. Siegel, you and i have known each other for a long time. It breaks down to one simple fact. Will people say, should i not get the vaccine because it might not work . Had that for me, if you would. First of all, have a great regard for dr. Adams, but i do see this little differently. Theres almost no chance that the vaccine wont work against this strain. This strain all viruses change over time slightly. This strain may the more contagious, but there is no evidence that its more deadly or get seasicker. Theres absolutely no evidence it would change to the point where it would affect the vaccine. I dont think it would happen for many months. Im not concerned about that at all. At all. In terms of it coming out of Great Britain, it probably has spread beyond the borders of Great Britain already, so i would submit that rather than cutting off travel it might be better to do more testing. We got the Rapid Testing now, im all for doing a testing strategy. In other words, testing people who are coming here from the u. K. Harris and testing them more than once. As youve taught me, thats only a moment in time. While theyre here, maybe they can do it more than once. Dr. Siegel, thanks for writing all these questions. Happy holidays to you, my friend pay good to see it. Thank you, harris. Merry christmas to you. Harris thank you, merry christmas. With the top House Republican is calling for now amid controversy about congressman Eric Swalwells ties with the suspected chinese spy. And this. I think the degree of radical crazy we are apt to see if they get full control of the entire shop will be something we have never seen before. Harris Washington Times columnist charlie hurt warns democrats will push through a far left agenda if they take control of the u. S. Senate, as the nations focus turns to georgias runoff elections in just two weeks. Georgia republican senator Kelly Loeffler is on deck, joining me in just moments. Take see close. P, the north pole has to be feeling the heat. Its okay santa, lets workflow it. Workflow it. . With the now platform, we can catch problems before customers even know theyre problems. Wait. A hose .

Uh, we call that a window. Window. Dun, dun, dun. Make it a croods family movie night with the croods a new age. Go to watchcroods. Com. What we are conveying to georgia voters is if you care about if you dont want a rigged election, you absolutely have to get out and vote. You ensure a democrat victory if you dont get out and vote. We are taking measures, we have them in place. We should be able to trust the results of this election, the most important thing here and now is that georgia republicans get out and vote. Harris thats former White House Communications director alyssa sarah on the Georgia Senate runoff two weeks from today. More than 1. 6 million georgians already have cast their ballots, and there was early voting more than a week ago, with control of the u. S. Senate on the line. Joining me now is one of the candidates, republican senator Kelly Loeffler. Great to see you back on the program, hello. Hi, harris. Thank you so much. Harris absolutely. Tell me how you are tackling the final weeks of this, january 5th. Harris, im on week three is our georgia firewall tour. We are the firewall to stopping socialism in america, right here in georgia. We know we have to hold the line. The American Dream is on the ballot, and we know that because Chuck Schumer said he was going to take georgia and change america. Thats not what we want in georgia or across the country. We are fighting for that every single day. My opponent, radical liberal raphael warnock, as someone who has denounce our police officers. He has denounced our military. He said you cant serve god and serve in the military, and he refused to denounce socialism and marxism. If we dont hold the line here in georgia, we will see the election of our first marxist senator in the u. S. Senate. We cant let that happen. Harris you know, im curious about what youre seeing on the ground. What are the crowds like . What are people saying at this point . Harris, the crowds have been tremendous. The enthusiasm is incredibly strong on the ground. I was out sunday with ambassador nikki haley, and then yesterday ivanka trump was here with david perdue and i. The crowds are tremendous. Its a really stark contrast to another surrogate, democrat surrogates come time to her estate. Theyre not getting the crowds and enthusiasm. The messages to get out and vote. You have to do it. President trump was here two weeks ago and he said, georgia, you have to vote for david perdue and Kelly Loeffler. He knows that if we vote we will be in. But if we dont, well lose the country. Thats whats at stake here. Thats why we have so many great surrogates coming in to help us get the vote out, and georgians are responding. Thats why you see the great early voting members. But we need to continue through the holidays. Harris the wall street journal has written an oped, as well, saying that all of it comes down. Lets take a look at that, actually. Its an oped that points out this runoff as being bigger than just your state, a democratic loss in georgia would confirm with the november election suggested. Mr. Biden has no coattails, mr. Trump is a different story, he has put his magic on the line in georgia. If the republicans lose despite his campaigning there, he will be blamed. What is your response to that . L, harris, george is a red state, and we are fighting for the president because hes fought for us for four years, and hes continuing to fight for us paley will hold the line here in georgia. I know that. I see so many great patriots every day in our rallies and events. We are working hard for georgians. We have been helping deliver relief under this pandemic, relief that the democrats have blocked time and again, and david perdue and i have done that every single day. We help bring 47 billion here to georgia while my opponent, radical liberal raphael warnock, his organization, his voting organization, took a half Million Dollars in ppp and is now under investigation for voter fraud and for tax evasion. This is a stark contrast in this race, and what georgians know is that they need to get out and vote. They are doing that. The president is going to come back. Vice president pence was here. This is an all hands on deck across america. Harris a couple things, im sure you saw that New York Times oped, and a lengthy article about you, as well. It said that this it said this about your campaign. Above all, shes a fervent supporter and rubberstamp her President Trump, a message she has repeated across georgia. Her life, though, has been rather more nuanced than her life story. In many ways, she appears to be a traditional businessoriented republican whose hard right turn is a stark reflection of the ideological gymnastics many politicians and her party party has performed in the populist culture war on trump era. Whats your response . Ive been blessed to live the American Dream. I was born on a farm, worked the fields, and build a successful career. Based on free enterprise, thats what im fighting for two. Democrats want to bring socials entire country. Raphael warnock would be rubberstamp for socialism. We are not going to let that stand. Im fighting every day for every single georgian. This isnt a matter of politics, the American Dream is on the ballot here, january 5th. The leftwing media wants to take us toward socialism, and we are not going to stand for that here in georgia. Harris have two final questions for you. One is a tough one, and i know you battled it out at the debate. You both were throwing barbs at one another on different things. Critics have said he made a series of stock trades on the very same day that you took a Senate Hearing on covid19 back in january. Is that true . Not at all, harris. That is a leftwing political attack by the media and the democrats, and that is a big distraction from the facts about their radical agenda and they radical opponents. My opponent is someone who will defund the police. He will be the first person, because he calls police gangsters, thugs, bullies, and a threat to our children. Thats what theyre trying to distract from with these political attacks. I think its very important that georgians understand that ive been fighting every day for the American Dream and my opponent would fight every day for Chuck Schumers radical agenda to raise taxes, implement the green new deal, open our borders, weaken our Second Amendment rights, and additional radical ideas that are just not right for our country. Harris you know, you talked about the president fighting for you, but i have seen pictures of some of the ads. Your project have supported the president of the United States, President Trump, 100 . The only one, you say, that use it with here on capitol hill to do so. What is your last comment today . President trump continues to put America First. He has done that from day one. He has fought for hardworking americans. He lifted up our economy to new heights of prosperity. He created the bluecollar boom here in america. We are getting back to that right now. He is fighting for us, we are fighting for him, and to continue this economic prosperity, the freedom, and National Security, everything that he has strengthened. He stood with israel, he has done so many things for america. We need to continue his America First agenda and that is an agenda of the democrats dont believe in. Thats what im fighting for every single day. Harris wow. Youve got quite a road ahead of you. An important critical road not just for your state, obviously for georgians, but for the whole United States, as he pointed out, as you fight to have majority, to keep the majority in the senate for republicans. Senator Kelly Loeffler, thank you for joining me on the program. January 5th is going to be here soon. Attorney general bill barr says there is no need for a special counsel in his opinion to oversee the hunter biden investigation. Even as the next administration prepares to take over. Why Top Republicans say william barr has not all wrong. In a special counsel, it could bring independence of judgment to the matter in a way that would give more people confidence these investigations are being handled appropriately. And buying your dream home, well be there to make it happen. Well be there when you want better rates too. Or to get money for retirement. Well be there because we work only with veteran families like yours to help you get the most life out of a home for the life of your family zep6 twto treat acute, nonlow back stmuscle and joint pain doctors with topical nsaids first. A formulation they recommend can be found in salonpas. A formulation they recommend can be found in salonpas. Salonpas. Its good medicine. Hisamitsu. I want somebody to look at all the overseas activity of hunter biden, see if its compromise the Foreign Policy of president biden, if he gets to be president , i respectfully disagree. If it were up to me, i take the u. S. Attorney in delaware and give him the entire hunter biden portfolio so he could look at everything hunter biden did. We are not going to give the democrats a pass. Harris senator Lindsey Graham theyre breaking with attorney general bill barr after barr said he saw no reason to appoint a special counsel in the hunter biden investigation. But tolman is a former federal prosecutor and u. S. Attorney in utah. Brett, what do you make of this . Ive had legal experts say yes to a special counsel, no to a special counsel. How do you continue the investigation with that . Hi, harris. Happy birthday and merry christmas, nice to be on with you again. I think this is a critical point in our countrys decisionmaking with respect to justice and the department of justice. You can go both ways depending on what happens. If you want a special prosecutor, it needs to be done now, but its tricky. Because a special prosecutor that is appointed, that is a layperson, may not have the authority if the attorney general isnt backing that person. While he cant appoint a special prosecutor, the president may have to do it Lindsey Graham suggested. It must be assentedconfirmed, alreadyappointed u. S. Attorney that does have authority to proceed with the matter. Harris why do you say its already got to be someone who is senateconfirmed or wont need to go through that process exactly now . We are not at the end of the year yet. We are not, but lets say, for example, that the president cant get jeff rosen and obviously the attorney general barr to appoint someone. If they dont appointed, the president would have to appoint that person. If he appointed someone like sidney powell, the rumors that have circulated about that, she would have to get her authority through the aid to the attorney general. The ability to use the grand jury to be able to bring cases would not be extended to her, just to the appointment by the president. It is a risk if the attorney general is not supportive of who the president wants to appoint as a special counsel. It might have to be someone that is already in a position who has authority to pursue the matter. If it is a special counsel that you want. Harris of course no one has confirmed that you call that a rumor, no one has confirmed anything about ms. Powell. But all of this, of course, gets thrown up into the air because barr is leaving. Tomorrow. Right. I think thats right, harris. And look, Deputy Attorney general right now, jeff rosen, i think he is a placeholder. Hes a good leader and administrator but hes not certainly one that would have the confidence to be able to take a decision like this and to pursue it, and my opinion. I think what we are seeing is the fear of whether or not this investigation is going to have the full scope and longevity it needs in order to resolve the issues. That is in question right now. Harris i do want to get to this, House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy says congressman Eric Swalwell should be removed from his coveted spot on the house intel committee. And says more lawmakers need to hear what the fbi told him last week about swalwells ties to a suspected chinese spy. Lets watch. Im going to request that every Single Member on the House Intelligence Committee gets the exact same briefing from the fbi that i did. If this individual is sitting on this committee, Eric Swalwell, theyve got to know the background of what has gone on. Harris i always point out your past history as chief counsel there on the hill to one of the committees, and that plays a role here as you give us counsel and what should happen with swalwell. These are definitely different committees than any other committee in congress. People need to understand that they have historically worked together more than most committees. It is delicate. They are on the front lines of understanding the National Security threats this country has. In times past, they have had trust among one another that they are going to keep secrets, that they are going to operate bipartisan, and they will approach it with an interest in the security of the country. If you have a member of any of the committees, the intel committees on the house and senate side, that may have been compromised at any point, Everybody Needs to know about that, and that individual needs to be offset committee immediately. Harris that sounds so basic. But nothing apparently is basic and easy and simplistic on capitol hill. He wished me happy birthday, i know you didnt know it. Its not my birthday, but it is the birthday of jesus later this week, but lets go there. The family of a Georgia College student is making a desperate plea.

You are all i need baby baby to get by harris some lawmakers are going after massive spending Bills Congress passed last night. The package includes we are just going to scroll it because theres so much. Billions to promote clear energy, more than 126 million for the Kennedy Center for the arts, dander programs in pakistan, among other controversial items, people say are important. They belong in this bill is the question. Critics say its a slap in the face to americans and their businesses struggling t due to e pandemic. This is just the beginning, and its a reason why americans need to stand up, reopen this country safely, reopen america so businesses can function, its your money and debt being added on to your future debt. Heres a question americans should be asking their representatives. Where does the replacement come from . Where does the growth come from to replace the money that we are wasting . Harris the power panel now. James freeman, Fox News Contributor, richard goodstein, former advisor to bill and hillary clinton. There are some things on the list, too, and im not even going to pretend like ive read 5500, because most people on capitol hill havent read the bill, but the smithsonian, money for sudan, those i think people might agree upon as good causes, but why are they in this bill, richard . Speak of these two different bills. I think we are conflating that. Harris why are they in either of them when we are in a pandemic and people need desperate help . Maybe the checks could have been bigger than 600 if the money hadnt gone to one or the other. Again, there was a covid relief bill and then there was the u. S. Budget that we passed. Harris we are clear on that. You can quibble about foreign aid, harris, but should we have spent more on the World Health Organization . Maybe we wouldnt have this mess of the pandemic on our hands had we done that. It is 1 of our budget on foreign aid, and people will always quibble about it, but the fact is ceos want peace and stability around the world. The u. S. Public supports womens empowerment globally. Yeah, you could pick out anything, but the fact is that every dollar spent is a tradeoff against Something Else paid every three martini lunch tax break could be feeding more people. Its as simple as that. Harris i know you want the clip to say that Harris Faulkner didnt like the fact we were giving to foreign countries. That is ridiculous and thats not what i said. I dont want to harris you could have made a compelling argument. James, go ahead. I guess im happy if some people are going to look at this as insensitive, but its really not. If you care about working people, if you care about taxpayers, what you want is to allow this economy to run. The w. H. O. , they cooperated with chinese propaganda, they should have been zeroed out. As you look at this, its not about quibbling with one piece or another. We dont need any of it. This economy is ready to roll. The only problem is places like new york, new jersey, and california, where politicians are not allowing people in certain Retail Businesses to work. The general economy, you can see it in the stock market, theres a lot of cash out there. The Unemployment Rate is down below 7 , more than 11 million jobs created since the spring shut downs. We are ready to roll, and i think the vaccine gives us the ability to do that. So im not quibbling with this or that piece. You see a lot of political pet projects getting funded because they can. We dont need any of it. We need the end of the shutdown, weve got a vaccine, let the economy role. Sounds like herd immunity. Harris hold on one second. Has minority whip Steve Scalise blames Speaker Pelosi for the delay in the covid19 release. President trump offered a lot more relief and money just months ago, and she walked away from that because not because she didnt like the deal, but because she didnt want President Trump to get credit. She said she was waiting for a new president. Thats why Small Businesses across this country did not get the relief they should have had back in september. Harris richard . We absolutely should have had more relief back then. It was the Senate Republicans who were sort of holding firm against a robust relief bill. You know who disagrees with james . Donald trumps handpicked head of the federal reserve. Hes the one who said we need to tackle the virus before we can get the economy back. He was the person donald trump entrusted with the economy and hes actually got a pretty good record. Hes the one who disagrees with james his point about opening it up, herd immunity, will be back, just swell. I dont think the record supports that. If i may say, i think Jerome Powell has been wrong about a lot of things. But one thing he has done, whether you like it or not, he has pushed about 3 trillion into the economy this year. We now have a vaccine, we have an economy that is ready to go if politicians will allow people to work. For most of the country, there has been a huge improvement. We are close, i would hope, with the vaccine. There is no argument at all for shutdowns, know that there was a very good one. But theres really no need for washington to once again have a huge intervention in the economy. I think for taxpayers, if you want to look at a silver lining, the fact that republicans hung tough, at least against that much larger nancy pelosi proposal from several months ago, i guess thats what you can take some comfort from. But the truth is we just need to let markets run and end the political interventions. The families and friends of the 560,000 people who will be dead by april dont agree with you, james. Sorry. You think they benefit from the Kennedy Center funding . Thats what they need . Im saying that the families of 560,000 people who will die of coronavirus dont agree with the notion we should just open it up, thats it. Pretty simple. Harris all right, im going to step in here, and forecasting all of that, youre not a doctor and i think its a little frightening that you would go there without also balancing im not saying it, thats what the experts who are tested are saying. The experts. [laughs] harris lets move on. Gentlemen, thank you. The family of an american student is in jail in the Cayman Islands, now pleading for the white house to step in and get involved. Sewing, but maybe not for people with certain inflammatory conditions. Because there are options. Like an unjection™. Xeljanz. The first and only pill of its kind that treats moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis when other medicines have not helped enough.

California governor gavin newsom has named his states elections chief, alex padilla, to fill the remainder of Vice President elect Kamala Harris senate term. Padilla has been elected twice as california secretary of state and was the first latino to hold the office. Hes also a former Los Angeles City councilmen and state senator. I dont think it was flagrant. I think it was an 18yearold thinking ill stay away from everybody and everything will be okay. Im not making excuses for her, but i think we have to keep in mind she is a teenager. Harris the family of a Georgia College student is in jail in the Cayman Islands for violating covid19 protocols, and now they are appealing to the white house for some help.

Harris, 18yearold skyler mack and her boyfriend have been in the Cayman Islands prison since last tuesday serving a 4month sentence. This morning, rather, an appeals hearing was scheduled on the island in an attempt to overturn the sentence after she and her 24yearold boyfriend, who is a Cayman Island resident, broke strict covid19 guidelines after a Court Reversed a much lighter sentence that originally only included Community Service and a sign. An island judge presiding over the case reportedly said this was as flagrant a breach as could be imagined. He went on to say it was born of selfishness and arrogance. Her grandmother says she isnt disputing the fact that the College Student broke quarantine protocol, but she does think the punishment is way too harsh and says she has written President Trump personally seeking federal assistance. My response from trump was from his staff, they said theyve turned it over to a federal agency. I wasnt really sure what that meant, but i do believe they are working on it. Skylar mack has released a statement saying, i was afforded the opportunity to enter the islands during these times, and i abused it. I am humbly asking for the forgiveness of the community.

Jared kushner has since those countries has normalized ties. Casey mcfarland is here. Her new book is called revolution trump washington and we the american people. How do you describe the abraham accord which more countries coming online, normalizing relations. Harris, President Trump gets made fun of or people overestimate his achievements. In this case he probably under estimated credit for this achievement. This is historic. Theres now peace between the two major tribes of the middle east, the jews and the arabs. And it was set up really and organized and thought through by jared kushner. Its an extraordinary achievement. Its going to live on. No matter what the Biden Administration may try to do to reverse things of trump policy, heres one they wont be able to do. I think it will lead to peace and prosperity throughoutthe middle east. Harris why do you say more arab nations will join this abraham accord . What are you looking at that forecasts that . Okay. So the reason it even happened in the first place was three reasons. One, the middle east theres a saying tenmy of my enemy is my friend. Israel doesnt like iran and the arab nations dont like iran either so theyve made common caw really against iran. The arab nations, they look around and say, the price of oil is low because of fracking. Its never going to go high again. Weve got to figure out a new way to diversify our economy. For that, they needed peace with israel. The third thing, the middle east having a huge baby boom of people under the age of 40, under the age of 35. Theyre comfortable with the west. Theyre comfortable with a modern society. Thats whats leading the drive for this. So more and more arab nations are going to do it. Why . Because its in their economic developed interests. Harris you forecast what a Biden Administration incoming might do with this. Your thoughts . If the Biden Administration does what the Obama Administration does, it will be pro iran. Even so, it wont be able to undo this relationship between israel and the arab nations. Even though iran and the arab nations are all muslim, they hate each other more than they even hate israel. So thats why i think it survived. Harris kt mcfarland, happy holidays to you and your family, my friend. Thank you. Thank you. Harris the Daily Briefing starts now.
