Certainly i will. Certainly i will. And you know that. Howie when reuters correspondent jeff mason kept pressing him about the Electoral College, the president punched back. Look, between you people dont talk to me that way. Youre just a lightweight. Dont talk to me that im the president of the united states. Dont ever talk to the president that way. Howie the media largely celebrating President Trumps decision to cooperate with a joe biden election without concession. The 2020 president ial election was not fair. No honest person would claim that it was fair. They rigged the election in front of all of us. And nobody did anything about it. Unless the legal situation changes in a dramatic and frankly unlikely manner, joe biden will be inaugurated on january 20th. To say this constitutes living in reality. And if i offered you a false reality, if i told you there was an excellent phenomenal chance that the Supreme Court was going to step in and deliver a victory to President Trump, id b
Good day. Welcome to the Hudson Institute. Im todd linberg, a seen the yor fe senior fellow here.

In philosophy from the Hebrew University in jerusalem, and then a j. D. And ph. D. From yale. And so hes obviously rather overqualified for any position he finds himself in. But were glad hes able to join us today to talk about this report. The elements of the china challenge. This is a report by the policy planning staff in the office of the secretary of state. Ill just say a word or two about that office. The policy planning staff is an office within the secretarys office. So it is tasked principally by the secretary to undertake such research and policy planning, indeed, as he zeem deems fit and this staff is, of course, a political appointee and has led the office since early in 2019.

Big headlines. Washington getting ready for the million maga march as counterprotests a are planned. Major networks called georgia and arizona for biden, Computer Software used for voting created major irregularities as resentment grows over this story and more, the do as i say, not as i do politicians. New examples of them breaking their own covid19 shutdown rules. Also tonight, how the election is not a repudiation of republican policies as democrats try to claim. Democrats are left with the slimmest majority in two decades. More democrats support nancy pelosi. Republicans could claim the house in the midterms as the democrat civil war is intensifying.

You can take the narrative and put it in the shredder this morning. We hope at some point in the nottoodistant future, it is conclusive. That just brings the cyclicality back into this market in a huge way and breeds some life back into that rotation. The nasdaq still very much on top. It is very clear the nasdaq is not on top. The nasdaq is struggling versus the likes of the small caps. Tom we will do the data altogether this morning before we get to dr. Fazeli. The vix from 41 to 23, i have be
