  • the government's top cyber security officials said Americans had the most secure election in history and that flagrant disrespect for the president's reality has cost him his job.

  • Trump took to Twitter, saying the recent statement by Chris Krebs on the security of the 2020 election was highly inaccurate in that there were massive in proprieties and fraud, including dead people, voting poll watchers not allowed into polling locations, glitches in the voting machines which changed votes from Trump to Biden.

  • Late voting.

  • And many more.

  • Rick, which claim is more outlandish.

  • Trump's claim of election fraud or a Trump officials claim of being effective at his job.

  • Look, I think this moment is showing some profiles in courage.

  • I think you have someone in Krebs who says, This is my job.

  • I'm going to do it.

  • I'm gonna lead the agency and I recognize that I may get fired for it.

  • Defense Secretary lost this job, Aziz.

  • Well, you see the secretary state of Georgia coming out and saying I don't care what the party says.

  • This is the These are the facts.

  • This is what actually happened, and the process so far is holding, and I've got to say.

  • I'm not sure I like this new era of truth telling underlings.

  • You know, it sets a dangerous precedent for those of us in power who've never done anything wrong and anyone who says otherwise is a liar.

  • Now, one person who does still have their job is Rudy Giuliani, and a new report explains why Rudy is so enthusiastic about the election fight despite it not involving a teen in the sexy dress.

  • Rudy is charging the president $20,000 a day for his legal work.

  • Wow, shocking that the man who exploited 9 11 for political advantage would stoop that low now, knowing he was being paid a grotesque fee, Giuliani felt the responsibility to turn in an equally grotesque performance, according to an attorney in the courtroom.

  • It's absurd on its face, the judge press.

  • Is this about fraud?

  • And where is it pled that this is about fraud?

  • And after some hemming and hawing, Mr Giuliani basically said, No, this wasn't a complaint based on fraud.

  • Instead, it was based on some kind of a well, I could say, is some kind of strange conspiracy.

  • Well, to be fair, it's actually a good day for Rudy when a witness can actually articulate what happened Now, Rick, by making this hiring decision, has Trump proven he has worst judgment that Rudy's three ex wives well, sorry.

  • It's not even clear that Rudy is getting the money that he's been asking for the $20,000 a day not clear whether that's actually happened or not.

  • But he did go back into the courtroom for the first time since 1992.

  • I think you saw the judge even admonished him at times that he didn't have a complete understanding.

  • As someone who had a short fling with Rudy Giuliani, I can confirm that he used to be quite persuasive.

  • Of course, I've always been a sucker for a man with a head shaped like a foot while helmet sitting atop a torso shaped like a bag of foot.

  • Now many Americans are wondering whether President elect Biden will hold Trump to account for his flagrant corruption, negligence and abuse, or uphold the American tradition of hastily sweeping things bigger than the rug under the rug.

  • According toa NBC News, Biden doesn't want his presidency to be consumed by investigations of his predecessor.

  • He has specifically told advisers that he's wary of federal tax investigations of Trump or of challenging any orders Trump may issue granting immunity to members of his staff before he leaves office.

  • I got to say, I agree America needs to spend less time holding people accountable and more time preparing for what will happen because we never hold people accountable back us up here, Rick.

  • The federal government did not hold anyone to account for going into Iraq on false pretenses nor the 2000 and eight financial collapse, and society has never been more healthy, right?

  • It's gonna be a big challenge to Joe Biden because for as much as he wants to move on, you're not seeing his party in the same state of state of mind.

  • And of course, I don't think anyone thinks that Donald Trump would cut the same kind of slack thio Joe Biden way.

  • Remember the locker up chants that it kind of transferred toe Biden by the end of the campaign?

  • But Biden is gonna have this choice to make, and by all accounts, he's already made.

  • I think Biden is the type of old school president who believes justice is about forgiveness and looking forward unless you're poor, in which case justice will drag your sorry as to prison.

  • Now moving on.

  • It's been one year since the first covert case, and as Thanksgiving approaches, we want to put aside our differences, dropped the politics and honor the lives we've lost to cover.

  • Claim that little, um, too often on this show we succumb to petty grievances and silly status competitions with fellow members of our privileged ruling class.

  • But let's make today differ.

  • I'm sorry, but Joe Biden's new chief of staff, Ron Claim, is the biggest Nobody I've ever met in my life.

  • And I just want to give Ron a best wishes and a hearty suck my ass.

  • Well, come on, E.

  • I have had it with this claim.

  • We were at a debate tournament at Georgetown, in line to get some food the guy took to to puff pastries and didn't even use tongues.

  • He's a worthless prick.

  • I should have been chief of staff.

  • By all accounts, everyone really likes him.

  • Rick Ron Klain.

  • He's a good guy, right?

  • Ron?

  • Clean is kind of everyone's definition of what you need in a job like this.

  • He is kind of Ah, throw back a little bit of an old school choice for a very new Washington.

  • Thank you, Rick.

  • Now, anyways, the pandemic has made me realize that every life is precious except Ron claims.

  • Teddy.

  • Teddy, Come on.

  • You heard Rick.

  • He is universally beloved.

  • Ron Clean is someone that I think it has a lot of respect With all due respect, I don't give a what you have to say.

  • I can't believe Old Needle Bron Clean got himself a position in the cabinet.

  • The guy's a hack and a needle.

  • All right, well, that that's all the time we had for this segment.

  • Condolences or whatever.

  • Teddy, you came off like an ass.

  • Well, not just Ben Franklin used the tongue.

  • You made your point, Teddy.

  • Now, you know, ever since the election, we've been getting the sense that something is afoot.

  • Yes, like a world that's been so grim is all of a sudden once more, all a tingle.

  • You know, we felt it when we saw the headlines about Harry styles wearing a dress on the cover of vogue and subsequent conservative outrage.

  • Yes.

  • Ah, culture war battle blossomed up through the earth.

  • We thought Trump had salted forever.

  • It's like the news cycle is healing.

  • Were returning Thio.

  • Can I say it?

  • Sarah?

  • Say it.

  • Normalcy.

  • You can see it all over.

  • Like the swallows to Capistrano.

  • The lobbyists are returning to Peck Peck Peck at the fruits of the Biden White House.

  • Alright, Kamila Harris and Lindsey Graham did a fist bump.

  • What's that mean?

  • It could mean a thing on I saw Joe Biden promised toe water down student debt relief and do some means testing means Thio.

  • It's been so long since we talked like this.

  • It's like my lungs have too much sunshine.

  • Get used to it because guess who else is back.

  • Is it so you guessed it.

  • The Taliban is here again.

  • Eso to everyone out there feeling down about Trump's corrosion of American institutions from Member.

  • Soon enough, well, I'll be back in the safe hands of a more competent oligarchy.

  • Rick.

  • Any warm thoughts on the return to normalcy?
