Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Special Report With Bret Baier 20201201

This puts him obviously in direct conflict with his boss. The ag left the white house just about an hour ago. Chief White House Correspondent john roberts starts tonight from the lawn. Good evening, john. Earlier this fall bill barr claim that mass mailin voting would be right for fraud and abuse. But today he shaved a similar claim from President Trump he had never seen anything that would overturn the results of the election. It was a declaration that drew a sharp response from the Trump Campaign. Attorney general bill barr telling the Associated Press to date we have not seen fraud on a skill to affect a different outcome in the election. The president s attorneys Rudy Giuliani and chana ellis firing back with all do respect to the attorney general, there hasnt been the department of justice investigation. We have gathered ample evidence of illegal voting in at least six states, which they have not examined. Some of that evidence was brought forward by republican lawmakers at a hearing in michigan today. Allegations that a trunk load of fraudulent ballots was loaded up to a voting center. Can you tell me what you saw come in . It looked like 60 boxes of those ballots. In each one of those leaves or boxes, there could have been hundreds of ballots. So we are thinking may be several thousands, tens of thousands. Im not sure of the exact number. The attorney general dismissed the idea of widespread fraud. Telling the ap, most claims of frauds particularly rise to a particular set of acts or conduct. They are not systemic allegations. In wisconsin the Trump Campaign is alleging more than 221,000 absentee ballots were improperly filed positioning the state Supreme Court to withdraw certification of the Election Results. So far wisconsin Supreme Court has refused to take up any of the Trump Campaigns petition. Senate minority leader suggesting bill barr may be on the endangered species list. I guess he is the next one to be fired that he now too says there is no fraud. Speak with the president s insistence the election was stolen from him has been a powerful fundraiser. Sources telling fox news since the election the president has raised about 170 million for the legal battle and new leadership packed save america. In georgia today, state officials admonishing trump to turn down the rhetoric against election workers and state officials. Stop inspiring people to commit acts of violence. Someone ll get hurt. Someone will get shot. Somebody will get killed. And its not right. The president also pushing the envelope by launching the first Coronavirus Vaccines. The fda commissioner dr. Stephen hahn summoned to the white house today under pressure to minimize the amount of time to approve the vaccines for emergency use. Everybody wants to see american lives saved from dr. Stephen hahn to this president. But this president will never apologize for putting the fire and of these agencies to say yes, we want a safe vaccine, absolutely. We want a fast one because lives are at stake. In a statement to fox news, resisting the pressure saying let me be clear. Our career scientists have to make the decision, and they will take the time needed to make the right call on this important decision. Next tuesday, President Trump plans to bring together governors, executives from the pharmaceutical industry, pharmacies and shipping services, to get everybody on the same page about vaccine distribution. In some other news with the attorney general today for here at bill barr taking steps to make sure the probe and the origins of the Trump Campaign Russian Investigation dont die on inauguration day. Bill barr appointing john durham to be special counsel, meaning his work will continue well into the next administration. A lot of Trump Supporters expecting the Durham Report to come out before the election but now this provides an extra layer of protection and a biden presents . An extra layer of protection and also indication that john durhams work while we thought it might be ready before the election still has a long way to go before hes through. Bret john, thank you. Breaking tonight the first indications how the federal government will decide who gets the Coronavirus Vaccine first. When you and your family will be eligible. Senior correspondent laura ingle reports from new york, laura. Good evening. The cdc has been focusing all day long on how they will prioritize who they deem to be the most vulnerable to covid19 exposure, illness and death. And the vote happening just moments ago. 131 vote did approve front line workers and elderly and longterm care facilities as the recommended groups to be the first in line. Now, there are approximately 21 Million Health care workers and roughly 3 million longterm health care for residents in the United States. And while a significant amount of data shared in the meeting today, one thing was made clear on the virtual call, the mission is urgent. And this is a difficult time in the United States. I just noted that since we are averaging one covid death per minute in the United States right now, in the time that to have this i. T. Meeting, 180 people will have died from covid19. So we are acting, i guess, none too soon. With the Cdcs Advisory Committee which is made up of voting members and several other vaccine experts determine the phase 1 group which is hospitals, longterm care facilities, ems and pharmacies with Health Care Workers and Public Health officials will roll up their sleeves first. Now the concerned by the one person who voted no was about the safety of the vaccine for those in longterm care facilities. My concern is that there is less which leads to less and also so i do not feel like the Safety Network for longterm care facilities are Strong Enough yet. I think there is some work that needs to be done. Once the recommendations are sent to cdc director dr. Robert redfield, those recommendations are then going to be sent to states who will eventually be in charge of distributing the vaccine. Aside from fda approval the next benchmark will be this friday. That is the deadline for state to submit their request for doses and where they will be shipped to, bret. Bret laura, thank you. As we told you the top of the program of the cdc will decrease quarantine time following exposure to the coronavirus. This state and local governments across the country are imposing new and tougher restrictions tonight, but in many places the very people ordering citizens to comply with the rules are themselves. Breaking those rules. National correspondent william losh and this from los angeles, good evening, william. Bret patient see after exposure but the cdc is saying they are reducing that 14 day quarantine period to seven days for those who get a negative test or ten days for those who have not been tested at all. As one holiday recedes and another approaches, Health Officials hear the works. Air hospitals can no longer take care of them. On track to exceed 2,200 today higher than last spring. The last resort that we have as local officials is to impose a curfew that will just shut it down. State and local officials are at a loss as the virus accelerates. Speak with the county has their own ideas of right and wrong. Im not in agreement with it. This restaurant defied orders to shut down. Im tired of people telling us what to do. I worry about it, yes, but it does not rule my life. Hypocrisy doesnt help. State protesters outside of the home of l. A. Democratic supervisor sheila who called Outdoor Dining dangerous and voted to ban it. Then went out to eat hours before the ban took effect. I eat here all the time. Democratic mayor Michael Hancock told people to avoid traveling for the holiday and hopped a flight to mississippi. The governors urge people to party like it is new years eve hours before anchorage to close bars and restaurants. There is a message we are getting direction from people that arent really believing in the decisions they are making. Last week the u. S. Recorded 2,000 new cases in a single day. Yesterday 16 states all record hospitalizations. Dr. Anthony fauci expects more. So many states are at the brink of being overrun with regard to their capability of taking care of people in a proper way particularly in intensive care. Now in ohio for cog. O. P. With peace articles monday against republican Governor Mike Dewine for requiring masks imposing some businesses popular to dismiss that effort as a foolish distraction, bret. Bret william, thank you. We are getting our first inperson look at the Biden Administration Economic Team tonight. We are also learning more about the president elects recent injury. Correspondent peter doocy reports from wilmington, delaware. Joe biden showed off his new boot today. And stood on hairline fractures on his foot for the duration of his marks which urged congress to act with a covert relief bill before he moves back to d. C. Passed in a lame duck session is a best but just a start. That would take cooperation with Mitch Mcconnell, but. Mcconnell is not sold on a new bipartisan proposal and biden is staying out of negotiations. Do you support 900 proposals there . I will take a look at it when i come back. A mess of relief packages on the way if treasury secretary janet yellen gets her way. It is an american tragedy. And it is essential that we move with urgency. An action will produce a self reinforcing downturn causing yet more devastation. But first this new Economic Team needs to be confirmed. I hope those outstanding, these outstanding nominees will receive a prompt hearing. Republican leaders will not commit to a vote for Neera Tanden Biden choice for management and budget. Not just a distraction but a reflection of our values. Elizabeth warren did not get the job she wanted treasury secretary but ensuring that her influence is in there for pickford deputy treasury secretary. But i dont know. Senator warren really likes you. Another historic pick biden thinking of shows tunes. We might have to ask Linmanuel Miranda who wrote the musical about the first secretary of treasury will tend to write another musical about the first woman of secretary of treasury janet yellen. That is what im working on right now, janet. The Transition Team tells host attorney general bill barrs big reveal no evidence of widespread fraud to change Election Results just confirms what they have known for weeks that biden won. They have already started naming members to inaugural committee, and we are told they are planning on a Traditional Space inclusive ceremony on the west front of the capital 50 days from now. Bret. Bret peter doocy in wilmington, peter thanks. One of bidens controversial selection so far as his pick for office of management and budget. Correspondent Mark Meredith examines why neera tanden is causing such an uproar on both sides of the valuable. Said director of office of management budget i nominate neera tanden. Neera tanden is no stranger to washington politics. As a former Hillary Clinton advisor in lending for center of American Progress she is well established in democratic circles but also made enemies on capitol hill. You want to make sure this nut job, neera tanden doesnt become the director of the budget in charge of office of management and budget make sure we win in georgia. Senator Lindsey Graham is among those feeling uneasy over forthcoming nomination. Ohio senator questioning her judgment after neera tanden spent years criticizing senator us on twitter. Top democrats are shrugging it off. Honestly the hypocrisy is outstanding. If republicans are concerned about criticism on twitter, thayer complaints are better directed at President Trump. But some democrats outrage with the president elects pick. The press secretary tweeting everything toxic about the Democratic Party is embodied in neera tanden. She has faced alterable controversies before and criticize biden a potential candidate in 2016 and private emails leaked by wikileaks. In 2017 days before President Trumps inauguration, neera tanden responded to trump tweet with pack machines russian has done enough damage to effect 70,000 votes in three states. In 2018, buzzfeed reported she faced criticism over how she handled Sexual Harassment claims within the organization she led. But despite the growing potential scandals, the president elect says he stands by his pick. She believes what i believe my budget should reflect our values. If confirmed neera tanden would be the first woman of color to manage the budget. And growing up on food stamps and Public Housing she is honored to lead a department that those get the funding they need. Bret. Bret mark, thank you. Former Trump Campaign manager Brad Parscale said the decision to remove him from his job was a major blow to the president. He talked with Martha Maccallum for tonights edition of the story. Jarod and i never got sideways on a concept. And i think the worst thing to ever do is to break those two up. That decision will go down if the president loses as the worst decision. Do you believe if you enter it had remained in charge, the president would have one . Im not saying that i think he wins easy. You can see the entire expanded interview tonight 7 00 p. M.

Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin and House Speaker nancy pelosi talked about a new aid package for the first time in several weeks. I own a virus aid and a new proposal from the senate but with a handful of days left in this congressional work. Next time is of the essence. Mike emanuel takes a look tonight. Bipartisan lawmakers trying to break gridlock with proposing a covert emergency framework. Designed to provide whole to the First Quarter of next year. It would be stupidity on steroids if Congress Left for christmas without doing an interim package as a bridge. Some key provisions are 160 billion for state, local and tribal governments and major item for democrats. 180 billion for additional unemployment insurance, 288 billion to support Small Businesses, 16 billion for a Vaccine Development and distribution. With many of the constituents hurting, these lawmakers are feeling a sense of urgency. Is it excusable for us to leave town and not have an agreement to come together. I happen to be a deficit hawk but the time to borrow money and only time to borrow money is a crisis and this is a crisis. Like today senator republicans offered a targeted plan. It would extend unemployment assistance, add a second round of paycheck protection loans and provide 105 billion to help get students back to school. Majority leader mcconnell says this focuses on what President Trump is willing to accept and likely attaching it to a must pass government funding extension. The issue is we want to get a result. I like to remind everybody the way you get results, you have to have a president ial signature. Speaker nancy pelosi told secretary mnuchin in a covert relief bill must be vaccination free and accessible to everyone. Chuck schumer made their own offered to Republican Leadership but Chuck Schumer would not reveal details.

Bret breaking in just the past few minutes, fox news has confirmed the Justice Department has begun a criminal investigation into the alleged exchange of money to the white house in exchange for a president ial pardon. That is according to a court record just unsealed by the chief judge of the d. C. District court. We dont know who the pardon was for or who may have received the money wherewith the exchange would have banned, but the investigation covers what is termed a secret lobbing scheme with individuals acting as lobbyist to senior white house officials without complying with regulations. Doj said according to the document email communications and all of this breaking story, we will follow it all. Meantime republicans are flooding georgia with cash and operatives in the runoff to next months Senate Runoffs that will determine the balance of power in the senate chamber. Steve harrigan has the startling numbers tonight. Money and manpower moving to georgia at unprecedented levels ahead of two january Senate Runoffs. The Republican National committee has already sent 500 staffers. And approaching 300 million and more than 900,000 people have requested mailin ballots for elections that could determine who controls the senate. Speak with us and it has to be held so we dont see a reversal of the things that we gained over the past four years, especially legislatively. That is the legislative agenda to be taken into account. Despite all the cash both sides a ground game can be the key to victory. We will get outspent on the air, but we will out hustle on the ground. We are just canvassing the neighborhood to make sure Everybody Knows about this Senate Runoffs. President trump comes to georgia to campaign for david perdue and Kelly Loeffler. There are concerns among some of the president s criticism of georges voting process could depress republican turnout. We run the risk of alienating voters for the senate race that is coming upon us for senator Kelly Loeffler and senator perdue. And we need them. I want to mend that senate. All the election drama and georgia one race to be decided today has not gotten much attention. A rental for georgias fifth congressional district, a special election to fill the remainder of civil rights leader john lewis term. And todays election in georgia will decide who will serve roughly one month in congress, bret. Bret they will follow it, steve, thank you.

After interview with the Associated Press in which he said to date, we have not seen fraud on a scale except that a different outcome in the election. There has been one assertion that would be systemic fraud command that would be the claim that machines were programmed essentially to skew the Election Results. The dhs and doj have looked into that and so far we havent seen anything to substantiate that. There is a growing tendency to use department of justice to fix all and people dont like something they want the department of justice to investigate. Most claims of fraud or particular lies to a set of circumstances where actors were conduct but not systemic allegations. Those have to be run down. They are being run down. Some have been broad and potentially cover a few thousand votes. They have been followed up on. Quickly the Trump Legal Team responded saying withhold their respect to the attorney general, there hasnt been any semblance of the doj investigation. We have ample evidence of illegal voting in seven states and it goes on. With that, lets bring in the panel from the charles lane opinion writer for the washington post, Mollie Hemingway Senior Editor at the federalists and jonah, the attorney general making clear where he stands come obviously ahead of this meeting and what is planned, we should point out before his interview with the Associated Press. Jonah i think it is long past time to put a fork in this whole thing. You know, the people are very mad at bill barr from a mad at him for basically telling the truth, which is yes, there is evidence of irregularities and individual and a particular lies cases. But even if granted all the allegations and each case, everything the trump team has said in court, even though they never say fraud in court, by the way, it still would not amount to overturning the electoral college. It has become a farce, Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani or submitting paperwork to the courts to get them in trouble. And bill barr recognizes this, i think. He is saying what everybody actually knows. That the election wasnt stolen. It is time to move on. Bret in this statement, the trump team says we have many witnesses swearing under oath that they solve crimes committed in connection with voter fraud. This michigan hearing today attracts with other hearings in arizona and pennsylvania. Take a listen to what they were talking about today, mollie. Can you tell me what it is specifically that you saw coming in . Where you outside and watched the truck on load or and watch them bring in the ballots . I was inside the tcs center and i watch them bring ballots in on cards, boxes of ballots. The council that was there, we were trying to take a rough estimate. It looks like maybe 60 boxes of those ballots and in each one of those sleeves of boxes or whatever, there could have been hundreds of ballots. So we are thinking may be several thousands, tens of thousands. Im not sure of the exact number. Bret so these hearings are going on. These witnesses are testifying in these different states. But the attorney general saying the doj and the dhs have looked into it. We have seen chris grabs with saying it is a secure election overall. Mollie, how is one to interpret all of this . Mollie i think you have to look at what attorney general barr said. He didnt say there was no fraud how people are talking about it now. He said to date, he has not seen evidence of widespread fraud that would overturn the election. I think that is a very reasonable statement to make. He said they were looking into claims that could affect thousands of votes. You have a new york election that came down to 12 votes, Congressional Election and iowa election down to six votes. So if they are talking about thousands of votes when you have actual elections in 2020 that came down to six or 12 votes, it is important these things be looked into. They do take time to be looked into. You have earrings going on right now. There have been a lot of crazy conspiracy theories out there what happened in this election, but one of them is pretty significant one is there was no fraud in this election. That is something the New York Times claims. There is evidence of fraud across the country. A system put in place to enable that level of fraud when no signature matches are not checking for signature matches, destroying envelopes, not auditing or not doing i. D. Checks, ballots harvesting and not allowing oversight. These are things that are important and not just for the selection but all elections going forward. It is something Republican Voters care very deeply about that mailin ballot and all that abuse not become a norm and how we do elections going forward, but the an aberration from elections that really have integrity and can be counted on to divert the republic itself. Bret and i think there are a lot of republicans talking about that as well. But there is also republican governors coming under fire from the president , including his ally Arizona Governor doug ducey who signed the Arizona State certification. The georgia governor, brian kemp, the secretary of state of georgia and also the person running the Georgia Election. I mentioned chris grabs earlier. And he is the guy on 60 minutes and oversaw the dhs effort on the computerized effort to try to keep the vote safe, chuck. He came under fire by joe joe digenova on the legal team. Mail in balloting is inherently corrupt in this election proved it. This was not a coincidence. This was all planned and you know anybody that thinks this election went well like that idiot, chris, that guy is a class a. He should be drawn and quartered taken out and shot. Mr. President. You have not condemned these actions or this language. Senators, you have not condemned these language or actions. You need to step up and say this and stop inspiring people to commit actions of violence. Somebody is going to get hurt. Somebody is going to get shot, somebodys going to get killed. And its not right. Bret he came out and said he was being sarcastic in the comment. There is a lot of pushback to it. We are in a different place now. I thought those comments from the Georgia Election official who defined himself on his twitter feed as conservative were gutsy and totally on point. That the fever that is being whipped up around these utterly, phony that the election was stolen, these allegations whipped up by the president of the United States have gone way too far. They are fueling an atmosphere that could lead to something. Unfortunate. I just want to go back to the point about, you know, bill barr. He has, i think, passed a test that a lot of republicans are flunking, mainly are you going to look at this piece of paper that is white and say it is black . Are you going to call the sky blue or say the sky is green . This is a basic issue facts and truth that i think bill barr probably concerned for his own legacy decided he had to speak up and distance himself from this craziness. And the president now going to georgia is being warned. We had it earlier on the program by people in his own program that by pursuing this apparently to raise money for a pack. By pursuing this may be discouraging his own party. It is an amazing meal in Ballot System that is so crooked, it only steals the president ial election, but helps flip more than a dozen seeds and the republicans on the house. It doesnt make sense, bret. Bret right, he raised 170 million so far, the president asked. Jonah, quickly you also had bill barr saying he has appointed john during the special prosecutor continuing that investigation. We expect of the Durham Report about the origins of the Russian Investigation to come out before the election. It didnt. But this means that it likely continues, and they have something going on there. Jonah yah, it is very unlikely that bill barr would have done this if he didnt think it would yield something frugal. He did the right thing by not announcing it bit jim comey entering the election into chaos by announcing it before the election. So as policy dictates, he kept it a secret. My suspicion, this will affect some of biden appointment decisions. You are not sure you want special counsel investigation touching people within the Biden Administration as least as possible. So bad news for sally yates, but we will see. Bret that is right sally yates is potentially up for ag. And a similar Jeff Sessions situation. She obviously signed some of those documents, mollie, quickly. Mollie yes, we remember when mueller was appointed so many people in washington, d. C. , of trump so much as looked at the wrong direction of mueller, that would be grounds for impeachment. You had republicans and democrats voting to protect the mold mueller probe. And they should do that with special counsel and allow this to proceed if nominated for a position spirit and also there should be at an assistance to cy fully has the Trump Administration complied fully with the mueller probe. Bret all right, panel standby, up next deciding who gets the Coronavirus Vaccine first and other changes next. It was in this small Little Village in connemara. Right connemara it is theres one gift the whole family can share this holiday season, their story. Give the gift of discovery, with an ancestrydna kit. The teams been working givaround the clock. Wire,y, weve had to rethink our whole approach. Were going to give togetherness. Logistically, its been a nightmare. Im not sure its going to work. Itll work. I didnt know you were listening. Right now the full congress should come together and pass a robust package of relief to address these urgent needs. But in a package passed in a lame duck session is at best just a story. Ive been in discussions with secretary of treasury and president chief of staff to try to ascertain what the president would actually sign into law. And i think we hav a sense of wt that is. Bret there are three different efforts tonight on going to try to get covid stimulus package across the finish line in congress. One of them was introduced today by moderate senators, nine of them, democrats and republicans. They may have increased power in this new structure in the next congress because of the numbers. And its 908 billion. Will that get across the finish line . We will see. We are back with the panel. Chalk, there is optimism on capitol hill, perhaps a little bit considering what the Senate Majority leader said to. Chuck yeah, lucy has yanked this football away many times before. It is interesting that they targeted 908 billion staying under the magic 1 trillion mark and a lot in the senate or worried about. They are also reprogramming about 450 billion Steven Mnuchin covered from fed programs thinking in a way they are spending less in the way of new money. The country really needs another shot of assistance now, particularly Small Business as we head into this winter with a lot of restrictions based on covid. And if the president wants something to do other than complain about fraud, one thing he might do is engage on this and really help Mitch Mcconnell and the democrats get fts. Bret meantime, the fda working on the approval process. And there was also talked who will get the vaccine first. The other thing we learned today, mollie, the cdc recommending quarantined be brought back to ten days if in contact with somebody with covid. Seven days if a negative test. Those are big changes. Mollie it is big change and public experts have changed guidance over the course of many months. It is unfortunate that they said things like it is okay to do bom protest but cant have a funeral for your relative or send your kids to school because it eroded public trust. We really need it as we have this vexing rollout. So i hope they communicate it well back to 1958 when they cared about how the vaccine was rolled out for the asian flu when president eisenhower volunteered where was given a shot to show it was say. The 1958 Naval Academy Football Team took it at that time. They need to ink out how to roll it out in addition to who gets it first. Bret john. Jonah. Jonah i think the fact the medical professionals and first responders, emt, doctors, nurses are getting it first is a good sign, but at least the medical establishment rather than Public Health establishment is willing to put their skin in the game, as it were. Which i think is necessary because i think mollie is right. There is a lot of lost credibility on the left and the right turning this pandemic into a culture war thing on top of all the hypocrisy from public officials. But at the end of the day, it would be nice if this could be done. Im not a big believer to get politics out of government.
