He is both melting and 76 00:05:22,790 --> 00:05:24,423 doubling down on his claim that the election was stolen from 77 00:05:24,458 --> 00:05:26,124 him. On Saturday morning, the 78 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,592 prisoner-elect wrote, "I won this election by a lot." 79 00:05:27,628 --> 00:05:30,462 which was funny. And then, about an hour later, 80 00:05:30,497 --> 00:05:35,367 all the major news networks called the election for biden. 81 00:05:35,402 --> 00:05:38,637 Trump was not watching tv for a change. 82 00:05:38,672 --> 00:05:42,007 When it happened, he was out playing golf. 83 00:05:42,042 --> 00:05:43,975 There he is, unhappy gilmore.

Not only is the administration 86 00:05:56,090 --> 00:05:58,523 holding up the transition, they are getting all the sycophants 87 00:05:58,559 --> 00:06:01,827 on board to question the integrity of the election. 88 00:06:01,862 --> 00:06:05,597 Of course, they aren't questioning the results of the 89 00:06:05,632 --> 00:06:07,699 races in the house and senate. I wonder why that is? 90 00:06:07,735 --> 00:06:09,868 Why would the democrats have cheated and stolen the 91 00:06:09,903 --> 00:06:11,002 presidency, but given up the senate and house seats on the 92 00:06:11,038 --> 00:06:12,637 same "illegal" ballots? Is it like when you cheat on a 93 00:06:12,673 --> 00:06:15,474 test, but purposely get a few wrong just to throw the teacher 94 00:06:15,509 --> 00:06:17,876 off the scent? Are we supposed to believe 95 00:06:17,911 --> 00:06:22,047 there's a universe where nancy pelosi could have sent 96 00:06:22,082 --> 00:06:23,115 mitch mcconnell back to the exotic pet store he came from, 97 00:06:23,150 --> 00:06:31,990 and she chose not to? Some trump supporters took to 98 00:06:32,025 --> 00:06:35,327 twitter to say things like, "if you don't include california, 99 00:06:35,362 --> 00:06:36,461 donald trump won the popular vote." 100 00:06:36,497 --> 00:06:38,630 right. And if you don't count the 101 00:06:38,665 --> 00:06:41,099 murders, ted bundy was a pretty good guy. 102 00:06:41,135 --> 00:06:42,334 One advisor for the trump campaign said the word 103 00:06:42,369 --> 00:06:43,735 "concede" is not in their vocabulary. 104 00:06:43,771 --> 00:06:46,505 Along with a lot of words. And listen, I get that this is 105 00:06:46,540 --> 00:06:51,376 hard for donald trump. Processing this loss is going to 106 00:06:51,412 --> 00:06:53,445 take time. I mean, this is the first time 107 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:58,850 he's ever failed at anything besides trump casinos, 108 00:06:58,886 --> 00:07:03,488 his airlines, mortgage, trump steaks, trump university, 109 00:07:03,524 --> 00:07:06,691 trump magazine, and donald jr.

He has until January 19th. 112 00:07:11,165 --> 00:07:16,134 Then he's out. Time's up. 113 00:07:16,170 --> 00:07:19,404 On the 20th. If trump really does refuse to 114 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,508 leave the white house, they should just rename it "vietnam." 115 00:07:23,544 --> 00:07:29,614 he'll get out of it immediately. He's not going to win this, 116 00:07:29,650 --> 00:07:31,583 even he knows that, but he also cannot admit he lost, because 117 00:07:31,618 --> 00:07:34,352 he's a poorly-raised little monster who was born a 118 00:07:34,388 --> 00:07:35,720 millionaire. Every other losing candidate for 119 00:07:35,756 --> 00:07:38,657 president found it within themselves to concede, and to 120 00:07:38,692 --> 00:07:40,692 remind our dear leader of that, we combed through concession 121 00:07:40,727 --> 00:07:45,163 speeches of the past, from which, perhaps he will find some 122 00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:47,632 inspiration.

This is rudy giuliani at his 189 00:12:09,029 --> 00:12:11,863 rudiest. The former mayor made a grand 190 00:12:11,898 --> 00:12:16,468 entrance at the landscaping place, he had some words to say, 191 00:12:16,503 --> 00:12:19,804 and after he said them, he made a swift exit. 192 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:25,043 This is the second-most embarrassing thing to happen to 193 00:12:25,078 --> 00:12:27,412 rudy this month.

Kind of hard since he died five 197 00:12:41,795 --> 00:12:44,696 years ago, but joe continues to vote. 198 00:12:44,731 --> 00:12:52,036 If I recall correctly, joe was a republican, so maybe I shouldn't 199 00:12:52,072 --> 00:12:56,708 complain. But we should see if joe is 200 00:12:56,743 --> 00:12:58,143 voting democrat or republican now from the grave. 201 00:12:58,178 --> 00:13:05,350 Also will smith's father has voted here twice since he died. 202 00:13:05,385 --> 00:13:06,351 >> jimmy: Go lay down in your coffin and 203 00:13:06,386 --> 00:13:07,619 close the lid, re-count dracula.

The even bigger news, pfizer 208 00:13:17,230 --> 00:13:20,865 today announced they have been working on a vaccine that is 209 00:13:20,901 --> 00:13:23,935 more than 90% effective in preventing the coronavirus. 210 00:13:23,970 --> 00:13:26,838 That's right, the makers of viagra figured out how to give 211 00:13:26,873 --> 00:13:30,508 everyone a boner again. Thanks. 212 00:13:30,544 --> 00:13:32,110 The ceo of pfizer said the timing of the announcement 213 00:13:32,145 --> 00:13:34,679 coming after the election had nothing to do with politics. 214 00:13:34,714 --> 00:13:38,550 But they did name the vaccine "joebidenol." 215 00:13:38,585 --> 00:13:46,591 they are hoping to have 15-20 million doses of the 216 00:13:46,626 --> 00:13:48,459 vaccine available and approved by the end of the year. 217 00:13:48,495 --> 00:13:51,262 That is great news.

Because there is a new, new 222 00:14:01,575 --> 00:14:05,143 outbreak in the west wing. At least five more staffers have 223 00:14:05,178 --> 00:14:06,311 tested positive, including trump's chief of staff, 224 00:14:06,346 --> 00:14:07,779 mark meadows, who was seen maskless with djtj at trump's 225 00:14:07,814 --> 00:14:10,248 post-election party Tuesday night. 226 00:14:10,283 --> 00:14:14,219 And you know who else tested positive? 227 00:14:14,254 --> 00:14:17,622 Our favorite, dr.

I 231 00:14:31,538 --> 00:14:33,571 the problem is it's this one. Carson's spokesperson said ben 232 00:14:33,607 --> 00:14:34,505 "is in good spirits and feels fortunate to have access to 233 00:14:34,541 --> 00:14:35,640 effective therapeutics." I'm glad he does. 234 00:14:35,675 --> 00:14:37,976 Donald trump has two black friends, he gave them both 235 00:14:38,011 --> 00:14:42,380 covid.
