Summary
Votes are coming in from the Georgia runoff elections, with the results generally looking positive for Democrats… but we’re still waiting on the final calls. Congress meets today to certify Joe Biden’s presidential victory, with about a dozen Republican senators and more House Republicans set to object and add hours of needless debate.
Yesterday, the Surgeon General said that the CDC guidelines for the order of vaccinations should not be used to allow doses to sit in freezers. This runs counter to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has been doing in his state.
And in headlines: the police officer who shot Jacob Blake won’t face criminal charges, Trump’s EPA fights war on birds, and Amazon is disrupting shirts.

| 0:00.0 | It's Wednesday, January 6th. I'm Hila Hughes. |
| 0:09.4 | And I'm getting arrested. And this is what a day where we are continuing our policy of |
| 0:13.0 | absolutely loving Georgia. Yeah, we love Georgia. We love the both |
| 0:16.4 | jangles at the ATL airport. We love the show Atlanta. |
| 0:21.3 | I have the word stanco any attitude on my forehead. |
| 0:24.0 | Few people know this, but it's true. |
| 0:34.8 | On today's show, strategies over vaccine distribution, who to give it to and when, |
| 0:39.1 | then some headlines. But first the latest. And we are going to start with |
| 0:43.2 | Georgia, where results started to come in last night from the two |
| 0:46.4 | Senate runoffs between Democrat Rafael Warnoch and Republican Kelly Lawflare |
| 0:50.5 | and Democrat John Assof and Republican David Perdue at stake, of course, is control of Congress. |
| 0:56.3 | So let's get into what we know so far. All right. So we are recording just after 11.30 PM |
| 1:01.3 | Eastern. At this point, neither race has been officially called. Currently, |
| 1:05.5 | Warnoch is leading his race to unseat law flared by about half a percent, which is awesome. |
| 1:09.6 | And Assof is trailing in his race to unseat Perdue by less than a tenth of a percent, |

| 1:19.6 | But before your heart's beat out of your chests, most of the votes still left to come in are in |
| 1:24.6 | the Democratic counties around Atlanta, like the cab where over 80% of the vote is currently going |
| 1:29.1 | towards Democrats. So while I don't expect to be up for a full week watching Kronakie use a |
| 1:33.4 | touchscreen, it could be a really late night or early morning to get those votes in. |
| 1:37.5 | But Democrats are feeling optimistic so far. And just to give you a sense of the dynamics in some |
