For the double standard. Their total silence about the physical violence against conservatives is shameful and dangerous. Imagine the outrage and indignation if this went the other way. Violence is never the answer and instigators must be condemned and prosecuted. Dana Griff Jenkins is live in washington what triggered the violence . The short answer really is the sun went down. As you guys mentioned it was largely peaceful during the Daylight Hours. Nice day, thousands of proTrump Supporters descended on washington from a cross the country to protest the results in a stop the steal maga march. When night fell as you see from the video it took a violent turn. Counter protestors who police tried to keep separated mixed in and fighting erupted in the streets and sucker punches thrown at a man in his 60s and fireworks thrown at diners at a restaurant. A trump supporter at that march has this to say, watch. It got very violent very quickly. We were out having dinner with the walkaway crew and say antifa and black lives matter marching in the street carrying signs. Later in the day i came out of my hotel going to a bar with friends and i was greeted with antifa marching down the street chanting america was never great. The president tweeted this about it saying antifa scum ran for the hills today when they tried attacking the people at the trump rally because those people aggressively fought back. Antifa waited until tonight when 99 were gone to attack innocent maga people. D. C. Police Department Going and do your job and dont hold back. According to the d. C. Police chief he says people on both sides locally and out of town came intent on clashing. The Mayors Office giving overall numbers more than 20 arrests made, 7 guns recovered. One man was stabbed but fortunately expected to be all right. You see Police Officers two were injured. Theyre still looking for information on some of those in these videos instigating things in the crowd. Dana and trace. Dana thanks, griff. Trace lets bring in kris bedford. Senior editor at the federalist. A good stepping off point would be to kind of put this on the screen. Your colleague at the federalist said perhaps the most troubling aspect of the rise in leftist political intimidation and violence is that these activists seem to have no expectations that there will or should be consequences to their illegal behavior. They dont think the rightness of their cause justify their actions they believe it justifies and demands that nobody, not the police, the media, or the politicians on their side call them out for it all and they think that because it is exactly what is happening. Is that where we are today, chris, in your estimation . Yeah, i think weve been there for a number of years now especially with groups like antifa and even black lives matter. They have these names, they put themselves into these historic struggles. Antifa against nazi fascist. What level wouldnt you go to to stop hitler. Or blm that puts themselves into the Civil Rights Movement when both of them are setting up camps downtown in washington, d. C. , downtown is a mess, the mayor has completely ceded ground. Not the only mayor who has done this. Decorating the plaza. Taking over city streets to harass the president. Restaurants and hotels shut down so she can pay homage to this group. The police not because theyre unwilling to but they dont have political will power to stand up to these guys. If you see a couple groups of proud boys out there everyone calls it a right wing riot. If you see thousands of black masks practically unformed antifa thugs attacking people, thats a socalled antifa or the antifascist group. Thats a lot of cover coming from the media and powerful politicians. Trace in the course of this violence we saw a number of sucker punches from left wing activists aimed at right wing people. I think its amazing to me, chris, where you look at you dont know the context where they started but you can see the fireworks. This is all very clear. Guy benson as a result of one of those sucker punches writes the following. Obvious, unoriginal point, if it were right wingers doing these things to womens march participants it would be covered like a National Emergency and every elected republican would be chased down and hectored to condemn the violence. Amy, should the police be cracking down and covering this more . Are we missing a big gap in whats happening on the streets . Yeah, i think the media absolutely ought to be covering it more. They are covering up for it in a lot of cases because they agree with the mission and think theyre part of the resistance as well. They think that republicans and conservatives people marching in the street are red arm bearing nazis and you can justify a huge amount of action. The police i feel sorry for. They want to crack down in this city and other cities but the mayor and city council have held them back. They will be in a lot of trouble if they try to move it forward. Theyve been unable to. Weve seen this for the last five years or so with masked vigilantes and thugs and groups attacking women and elderly and attacking peaceful protestors. Im not sure exactly other than the sun going down what caused the explosion of violence but i can tell you that when diners were out in neighborhoods of d. C. Having brunch or dinner, they are attacked with no politics allowed. No politics mentioned. Completely unprovoked. This is a pattern with antifa and blm. Trace my last response and question would be you go back a couple weeks and you see businesses right before the election boarding up all over the country, right . I was in new york in the time and you see all these businesses being boarded up. It seems to me there is this kind of fear as if crime is no longer illegal and people are concerned about that. Yes, there is a total fear that things arent being enforced and a rise in crime in d. C. And across the country. I remember thinking sadly talking to people from other countries here about how their country had to shut down work and election days would become violent in their country. I thought we were fortunate not to have that. Going around d. C. And new york city and fox news, restaurants, bars, everyone else stores shut down. You couldnt go in. They were boarded up because they expected violence if donald trump won the president ial election. Trace Chris Bedford. Thank you so much. Dana really important wise points from him. President trump is walking back a tweet that appeared to admit defeat in the election for the first time. The president saying he is not conceding. Trumps lawyer addressed that yesterday. What he is saying is sarcastic or a comment on the terrible times in which we live and the media said he won. By pointing out it was illegal. He is contesting it vigorously in the courts. They dont have a legal right to call the election. Dana two republican governors are urging the president to authorize the biden team to move ahead with transition plans. Lets go to chief White House Correspondent john roberts live on the north lawn. I guess i usually see you at 2 00. You work all day. Trace as do you as well. Word from the Trump Campaign this morning is this still has a long way to go before it is over. They have until the electors meet until december 14th to pursue these cases and there is more court action expected in michigan and pennsylvania this week to watch for. President trump also making it clear where he stands on the challenge to the vote count after tweeting something early yesterday that many people took as him acknowledging a Biden Victory when the president tweeted first thing yesterday morning he won because the election was rigged. After news organizations started writing about that and the president s critics started looking at that as a concession, the president said not so fast, tweeting quote he only won in the eyes of the fake news media. I dont concede. He began tweeting this morning saying i won the election. Well, President Trump still has the support of his party to pursue challenges to the vote. He is under increasing pressure from his colleagues to at least provision nallly allow the transition process to begin to give the Biden Transition Team access to the Government Resources it needs in the event that joe biden is sworn in as president. The Ohio Governor saying this yesterday. Listen here. The president has every right to go into court, every right to bring any kind of evidence that he has and no one should begrudge him or say there is anything irrelevant reg about that. On the other are hand it is clear based on what we know now that joe biden is the president elect and that transition for the countrys sake is important for a normal transition to start through. Arkansas hutchinson going further saying its apparent joe biden will become the next president and it was good that President Trump acknowledged yesterday morning that joe biden won, which President Trump says he didnt. The Trump Campaign also pushing back on reports that it has withdrawn part of its lawsuit in pennsylvania saying that it only restructured a few things because of what it said was a bad ruling on another case out of the Third Circuit court of appeals, the Communications Director tim murtaugh saying the fundamentals of our case havent changed and making the strong argument that 627,000 ballots were counted in secret and we still have that claim in our complaint. We reserved our rights to make that argument. So basically dana where we are today is pretty much where we were last week. Remember the old tim murray movie groundhog day . Were living that here in washington dana i appreciate your report. It helped me get caught back up. Enjoy working for the rest of the day.

When you talk about effectively taking on Climate Change, when you talk about making public colleges and universities tuition free, these are not far left ideas. Theyre common sense ideas that the majority of the American People support. Dana Bernie Sanders pushing for more progressive policies in washington saying most americans support them. Lets bring in Fox News Contributor byron york, Political Correspondent for the washington examiner. The wall street Journal Editorial Board had a headline why democrats nearly loss the house. The policies not their marketing. It seems that the far left of the Democratic Party they just dont see that they had anything to do with any of the democrats that lost those races and nearly cost them the house. Absolutely not. Look, this is a very angry debate going on inside the Democratic Party. By the way, it is the same debate thats been going on for several years. The 2016 Bernie Hillary debate became the 2020 bernie everybody else debate. Now its going on inside the house. Remember, nancy pelosi said democrats would win seats in the house and theyve lost seats in the house. She will still control the house but may have as few as 223, 224 votes and remember, it takes 218 votes to pass anything. Meaning she is going to have to have total Democratic Unity to pass anything and she will have a progressive caucus that will make demands every time she needs their vote. Dana you bring up the numbers. Democrats at 219 and republicans at 204. The current balance of power in the house. Reports are that nancy pelosi is suggesting to all of her colleagues that might have aspirations to go and work in a Biden Administration that they not do that because the margins are so thin that if there was a runoff that the republicans might actually be able to pick up those seats. Absolutely. When the margin is that close she cant afford to lose anybody by retirement, by death, by taking a new job. She just cannot afford to lose anybody. Plus she has a lot of members who are very angry at the Bernie Sanders and aocs of the world. We found out after the election there was a very angry Conference Call among democrats in which democrats some centrists by the defund the Police Movement and the effect it had on their campaign. Spanberger who got reelected in virginia but just barely said that defunding the police was the most damaging issue she faced during this campaign. And a lot of centrist democrats are very worried about it and they will view what the progressive caucus advocates with great caution. Nancy pelosi will have to try to get them all together when it comes time to vote. Dana as the president elect biden tries to figure out what theyll do in the first 100 days there is a lot of pushing and pulling. The wall street Journal Editorial Board writes the problem is the reality of the program. You can disguise your policies by not calling them socialist but voters will figure out what those policies mean in practice. And as you look at these Election Results especially in the down ballot races and the fact not a single republican lost in the house and the republicans did well across the board in state legislatures, senate we turn to georgia. To me i wonder if somebody like a Bernie Sanders go home at the weekend, talks to his friends and neighbors and says everybody agrees with me. It is not reality. Yeah. This is what always happens. A party or faction, if they lose or they dont do as well as they thought they were going to do, they believe they have a communications problem. They never think they have a substance problem. But the fact is just look what Bernie Sanders said in those clips that weve been playing. He is talking about medicare for all, free college for all, guaranteed minimum wage, Climate Change legislation. Bernie sanders believes these are mainstream political positions and the results of the election weve just had do not support that. Dana byron york, always a pleasure to read you and follow you on twitter. Thank you so much. Trace breakthrough in the fight against covid19, a new vaccine more than 94 effective in Clinical Trials.
