Republicans win they use their power to get a car and driver and a better table in their favorite restaurant so unless you want d. C. And puerto rico as states and another six lockstep lefty judges on the supreme court, it is necessary for the dems not to take georgia. According to the usual garbage bowls, senator perdue is about a point ahead of his democrat challenger in senator loeffler and her democrat opponent are tied. And thats before the peculiar features of Election Night in georgia, alleged server crashes, mythical burst water pipes, perfectly routine, nothing to see her suitcases of ballots under the table. Not to mention a conveniently placed judge who happens to be Stacey Abrams sister. All those peculiar features have begun to work their dark magic. In a sane world, Raphael Warnock would be a good 15 points behind Kelly Loeffler. When i first heard about what went on and the reverend warnocks churches such as that renowned theologian fidel castro getting invited to speak
Outside of washington, d. C. , the fbi warning state capitols could be at risk. They are taking their own security precautions as we speak. This morning, we are hearing directly from the brave officers who put their lives on the line to defend the capitol and our democracy on january 6th. People still swinging metal poles at us, pushing and shoving, spraying us with mace and pepper spray. I was being beaten with a thin blue line flag. Guys were trying to grab my gun. They were chanting, kill him with his own gun. They were calling us traitors, telling us to remember our oath. Eventually, they attacked us. This hour, we are keeping our eye on capitol hill, because in 30 minutes, nancy pelosi will be briefing reporters. We will watch for any new information about the security preparations. And what the speaker might say about sending that new article of impeachment over to the senate. Thats going to happen roughly 30 minutes from now. Right now, lets get to our reporters following these
Also in the programme. Coronavirus cases here in the uk put hospital staff under greater pressure than ever before but our special report also reveals how doctors are now saving an increasing number of patients. Plus how the fashion choices of the trump and Biden Administrations at their inaugurations say oh so much without uttering a word. Hello, im Laura Trevelyan in washington, James Reynolds is in london. What we inherited is so much worse than we could have imagined. So says the new white house covid 19 response coordinator. But its President Biden s problem now, along with everything else. With wafer thin majorities in congress, mr biden used his pen to make a difference in the first 2a hours signing more than 20 executive actions, many of them reversing trump policies. The first batch covered areas like immigration and the environment. Today, mr biden put his focus squarely on tackling covid. At the white house he signed a series of executive actions that would ramp up vaccine p
I would say yes to that. Perfectly done. Has anyone else been more aware of the clothing theyre wearing on Live Television. For help in this conversation with thanks to the rev, lets bring in kasie hunt. Im guessing that the deeper meaning and impact of bidens speech made its way to you on the lawn. As i am also guessing Amanda Gormans presence at the age of 22 made its way to you as we watched the obamas leave just behind where you are. Reporter it really did. Let me first say to pick up on the previous conversation, i would need two marines to help me walk around like that. I think its joy to walk around like that. In all seriousness though, being out here and getting a chance to listen to this, what really struck me is that after four years of having a president who made everything about lims and everything about his own political future, that this speech that we heard from joe biden it was not campaign speech. It was not a politics first speech. It was an american speech. It was a
The defendant. I understand. The judge. Your mother is making an enormous leap of faith on your behalf, and you are the one person in this courtroom who can make sure that your mother does not have to choose between her love for you and her duty to this court. Do you understand that . The defendant. Yes. The judge. Do not put your mother in a position, where i learn that she was put to that choice. Am i clear . The defendant. Yes. The judge. Very well. Then, i would like to conclude this proceeding. Miss williams, when we meet on tuesday, one of the first things i did was advise you of your Constitutional Rights.
