Jon rich ed son at the white house rich, thank you.

Notably absent from campaign trail is senator david perdue, hes in quarantine after comes in close contact with someone who tested positive for coronavirus. Peter doocy is in georgia with more for us. Peter. Reporter jon, good evening senator perdue is trying to be seen and heard although hes in isolation. What this will do is just change the way that were ending up this campaign these last three days are critical so im doing media making phone calls participating virtually. Reporter Kelly Loeffler is knocking on doors herself today with texas senator ted cruz by her side trying to help generate some excitement on the right. Loeffler has accused Rafael Warnock democrat of having a dangerous past now that a camper from a camp reverend warnock once in charge of is alleging abuse by counselors years ago. Warnock did not directly address a question about new accusation offering this instead. I think here again, that it is quite oven that Kelly Loeffler doesnt have a case to make why she should be sitting in that seat so she continues with politics of the distraction. And division, and she cant explain why she prompted it all for the pandemic while denying the people of georgia the kind of support that they need. Reporter jon is campaigning too and more than anyone single issue his peach to georgia voters is about change. Now it is time to make change as a level of the United States senate. Retirement is coming for Kelly Loeffler and david perdue [applause] reporter all day john has been crisscrossing the state launching canvas kickoff, Democrat Party wants Vice President s to be socially distant making their pitches to voters outside their homes and because this is georgia, this morning, those volunteers were sent off with instructions and barbecue sandwiches. Jon. Jon got to keep them fed peter doocy in georgia. Thank you. Joe biden and Kamala Harris campaign and harris will be in peach state request biden heading there monday setting up dualing events against President Trump. Hillary vaughn is in delaware with the latest. Hillary. Reporter hi jon. Well normally a new president has until Midterm Election before they need to worry about power dynamic in congress changing. But this special election in georgia gives president elect biden a unique opportunity to flip the senate and clinch complete control over congress. Vice president elect Kamala Harris heads there tomorrow to campaign for Rafael Warnock and jon and biden will be back in state again on monday. I need two senators from this state. I want to get something done. Not two senators who are just going get in the way because look, getting nothing done just hurts georgia. Look whats happening right now in the congress. Reporter this week Financial Disclosures from biden nominees are trig peering some progressive democrats who think those documents detail Corporate America and wall street treasury secretary nominee janet yellen disclosure shows she made over 7 Million Dollars from speaking engagements paid by major Financial Firms on wall street like goldman sachs, ubs and city same firms shell have influence over in her role as treasury secretary. Biden transition official gives me the following statement about this, saying, quote, this is not someone who throw punch when is it comes to bad actors or bad behavior you can expect shell bring the same high ethical standards and tough enforcement philosophy to treasury. Biden pick for secretary of state tony blinken is also sparking questions. Of conflict of interest but blinken made over a million doing consulting work for Companies Like microsoft, uber at t and fedex i talk to a biden official who discuss Financial Disclosures show most of biden nominee spent a lot of time working for the government and a little time in the private sector but jon, even that little time spent in the private sector, some of them made a lot of money. Jon. Jon Hillary Vaughn in delaware. Hillary, thank you. So what can we expect in georgia and on capitol hill next week . Congressman chuck the republican from tennessee is a surrogate for the perdue and loeffler campaigns, also a member of the House Appropriations committee congressman, thanks for being with us this evening. Good evening. Jon so you are one of those who has registered concerns with the vote count from november 3rd you plan to object to the Electoral College certification . That is correct i do along with unanimous tennessee delegation in the house and senate. Fundamental to our Great Republic, our Constitutional Republic is the sanctity of the vote and after listening to my constituents from Third District of trn and looking at what happened in swing states, ive got grave concerns about a process that went on and im going to post those concerns with objection standing with President Trump on, on this week. Jon well secretary of state brad who has received a fair amount of criticism from the president , seemed to suggest that the reason the president lost georgia has not so much to do with fraud but just the fact that the president didnt excite Republican Voters there. Listen to what the secretary of state said earlier today on fox. 20,000 Republican Voters traditional Republican Voters just skip the president ial race. Senator david perdue got 19,000 more votes than metro region than President Trump did, and in our republican congressional areas they got 33,000 more votes than President Trump did. And so thats really what happened is that republicans probably many of those viewed more moderate republicans just stayed away from that race or voted for other side. Reporter so thats his assessment of what happened. Can you expect that those republicans are going to be excited enough to go out and vote for senators perdue andlet left loeffler and put them in the senate . The both Kelly Loeffler and senator perdue deserve reelection theyre both fine senators. Theyve done a great job. But i think republicans will understand the gravity of this moment in history and come out to vote along with independents and some democrat of good conscience. The Democratic Candidates come from the far left of their spectrum. I dont think theyre in line with the vast majority of georgia citizens. So im looking forward to a win win for republicans in the Georgia Senate races. It is so important that we keep the United States senate and republican hands. Jon according to a fox news poll taken in early december, more than a third of americans believe that there was fraud in this president ial election and they believe that it was essentially stolen from President Trump among all vote rs yo see the number there is 36 believe it was still and trump voters 77 even among democrats 10 say they believe the election was stolen. Hence, your push to get the Electoral College vote held up until you get this investigation . The American People deserve answers. The American People deserve truth. And we have got to make sure that going forward, this is a precedent setting moment for us in history. If we lose this opportunity, if we dont stand up for every legal vote being counted in every illegal vote not being counted, we will lose the fundamental fabric of our republic forever. This is not only about donald trump. This is about our Great Republic. Weve got to stand up weve got to object and weve got to get it right. Weve been in very adverse circumstances due to covid certain states got it wrong. I think georgia did get it wrong with the president ial election with their mailout ballots things like that. A lot of irregularities. Were still getting are complaingts of irregularities. We owe it to American People to get it right, thats why im going to october object this week. Jon 11 senators and senators elect who are planning on objecting to Electoral College results put out a statement it reads in part, we are not naive. We fully expect most if not all democrats perhaps more than a few republicans to vote otherwise. But support of Election Integrity should not be a partisan issue. A fair and credible audit conducted expeditiously completed well before january 20th would dray dramatically ime faith in american process and significantly enhance the legitimacy of whoever becomes our next president and then signed by the 11 senators. And senators elect you need, you need votes in the house to maintain this objection that you plan to lodge. As long as democrats control the house, youre not going to get that, are you . Well it is yet to be seen but if you look at the numbers i can understand your assessment. But this is a vote of principle this is a vote of conscience. This is going to be a legacy vote not only for every member but also again, to the fundamental fabric of our Great Republic. We are privileged to live in greatest nation in the world and thats because, i believe were one nation under god but i also believe that we are a Constitutional Republic. As a Great Republic weve got to make sure that the sanctity vote that the credibility of honest votes being counted and dishonest votes not being counted the process has got to be fair, open and honest. The vast majority of americans have questions about this process. We owe it to them to get it right. Jon very quickly i want to play what tim ryan democrat of ohio had to say regarding they have that right, theyre going to exercise that right and then it is going to go to a vote in the house and senate and boat republicans and democrats will reject this because theres no evidence by any credible source that say it is that election was in any way fraudulent. You think you can come up with that evidence . Well, i think were going to see more and more evidence come out every day. Refer to the great state of georgia theyve had hear technician this past week, uncovering more and more irregularities. When we talk about what this is, we can call it irregularity. We can call it a problem. We got to make sure that we get it right to the American People. One legal person, one legal vote. Not one legal person, three illegal votes. This covid situation caused the situation in many swing states. I believe where weve seen irregularities, problems and i think that is detrimental to our great Constitutional Republic voting for president or any other election we have to get it right it has to be honest. Jon congressman, chuck, thank you. Thank you. Jon well, sunday marks one year since the u. S. Strike that killed notorious iranian general qaasim soleimani and tehran vowing revenge for his death.
