And to our viewers, thanks very much for watching. I'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. Erin burnett outfront starts right now breaking news, trump's campaign rocked by an exclusive kfile report revealing the trumpbacked candidate for north carolina governor called hiquote, black nazi and supported bringing back slavery also breaking the oprah treatment harris is about to appear alongside oprah winfrey hundreds of thousands expected to watch the sour and tensions mounting tonight. The cnn learns new details about the thousands of exploding pagers in twoway radios how israel, us companies is a fake front to get the deadly devices out. Let's go outfront i'm erin burnett outfront tonight. We begin with breaking news, the trump campaign reeling tonight after a stunning report from our own k file which reveals the trumpbacked candidate for governor in north carolina, mark robinson has made dozens of disturbing and comments on a porn website. Some of the comments are frankly so disturbing that we cannot air them. But they include robinson writing quote, i am a black nazi and i wish they would bring it slavery back robinson also calling himself a quote per of while discussing his affinity for transgender pornography. Keep in mind that he has called transgender kids sick and demonic. These comments were made between 2008 and 2012 at this hour, robinson is defiant refusing to step beside at this point, robinson has only five hours to do so, five hours in order for republicans to find a replacement candidate. The deadline is tonight at midnight. As for the trump campaign, they've released a statement trying to distance trump from robinson, saying, we're focused on winning north carolina and we will not quote, take our eye off the ball we trying to avoid the topic, but here's the fact robbins is trump's guy. This is what trump's been saying about robinson for years this is martin luther king on steroids. I think you're better than martin luther king. I think you are martin luther king times two e the great stars in politics. Lieutenant governor mark robinson, i'm a great supporter of his. You're in credible lieutenant governor mark robinson is hot politician lieutenant governor mark robinson, real star, great guy friend of mine, mark robinson okay. I just didn't want to leave any ambiguity out there the harris campaign tonight is wasting no time highlighting that relationship posting these images with a thumbs up emoji now robinson is really crucial in the presidential race because he is running to be governor in north carolina. And trump's road to the white house runs through north carolina. That is why this is a major issue. It is why the campaign cannot be happy with what he is telling our andrew kaczynski of kfile this is not off. These are not our words and this is not anything is characteristic of me nor has it ever has it ever been the people here of north carolina? know i have been completely transparent about my history. All the wards and we put them all out. We let folks know about it. But the folks here also know my character. They know who i am, they know my voice, so to speak this is not my voice is not things that we would ever say or even think how do you explain all the matching details on this profile of the profile on nude africa list or full name, as mark robinson, the email listed on account is an email that you used us you have used elsewhere on the internet, including with your photo, you have used that name many soldier on multiple social media accounts, including twitter, pinterest black planet, and youtube. How can you deny with all of these matching details that this is you? look, i'm not going to get into, but new sheriff house on my manufacturer this all these salacious tabloid lives. But i can tell you this. There's been over $1 million spent on me through ai by billionaire son who's bound and determined to destroy me. But things that people can do with the internet now was incredible. But what i can tell you is this, again these are not my words you mentioned ai, are you saying that somebody was somehow manufacturing biographical details to exactly match you using your username. Is this what you're telling me here when you say that i have no idea how this was done, i have absolutely no idea how it was done. And i have five weeks left in this camp all right to focus on the substantive issues that nor karelina's face. I did not have time to tap more trash. Okay. Well, how do you explain some of this being on the internet web archive, something that can't be we are, i've made my position clear and we are done with this all right. Andrew kaczynski, who broke this story is outfront and andrew, i just want to make sure you're gonna go stepbystep in a moment to explain how certain you are that these comments came from robinson since he is bringing up this this ai idea. But i just first want to say, and he's incredible reporting. It is leading new sites everywhere. It's incredibly significant and in north carolina i know it is so significant so let's go through what you found. You found many of his comments on this porn website, which is one of the places you found this have to do with race. What else did you uncover? yeah, that's right. We found a series of highly disturbing comments made by mark robinson on a pornographic websites message board more than a decade ago. And i want to walk our viewers through just a few of the ones that were even allowed to show on tv in one disturbing post robinson defended slavery, writing quote slavery is not that bad. I wish they would bring slavery back. I would certainly own a few. Another thing that we found was that robinson used slurs on the website. We found that he often used antigay slurs. He used an anti jewish slur. He used an antimuslim slur, and he even disparaged civil rights leader martin luther king junior, calling him a quote, commie. And martin, lucifer, then using a racial slur alright, so all of this, again, just to emphasize right, calling himself a black nazi, right? was another thing he found he's also said incendiary things about transgender people. We talked about a couple of them, horrific things that he has said about transgender people. But he also admitted on this website to then watch ching transgender pornography. That's right in one of the comments we found, robinson says that he enjoys, quote, watching transgender born saying, quote, that's effing hot. It takes the man out while leaving the man in and then adding quote i'm a prb to all right. It's just, okay. This just in credit. So this is all all of these things that you founded. And as i said, we're going to go through in just a moment exactly how you know, this was him who posted it because it is very clear and the work was excruciatingly detailed. I want to go to phil mattingly is outfront in washington though so as you hear, andrew lay all this out you were at a trump rally in north carolina. He called robinson onstage when you were there, you noted he called him a good man and i know today as kfile reporting has been breaking and people are just starting to realize the import of this. You have been fielding calls from republicans what are they telling you? yeah, it's been remarkable those calls and explain why in a second, i want to start with that rally down and ashburn, mark robinson didn't actually have a speaking role at that rally, which i thought was surprising at the time. But as you noted, the foreign president did call him up the stage and shake his hand. He called him a good man, said he had to win. And one north carolina republican operative, i was talking with earlier today said that's a really we important moment for mark robinson. I said, why is that? so that's the last time he will ever be in public with donald trump. If this campaign knows what they're doing, you've made very clear as you read karoline leavitt, the trump campaign pain spokeswoman statement. They are distancing themselves. They are talking about his race, trump's race in north carolina, the fact he's won the state twice and needs to win it again, they are not talking about mark robinson now, when it comes to this story erin, i've been doing this 15, 16 years have covered a lot of pretty explosive stories. I've never seen what happened in the hours before. Andrew and kfile story came out as i did today. Hey, which was this morning, i started getting phone calls from republicans, both here in dc, but also some in north carolina. Asking what this story was about. I had no idea. It wasn't involved i didn't reporting it. But the fact is the campaign or people tied to the campaign were clearly trying to front run to get out in front of this story, try and spin it in their direction as you heard, the lieutenant governor try and do with andrew directly, that made it significantly worse. The anticipation for this story because of this erin, a number of republicans i spoke to said, how could it possibly be worse than what he's said in the past, this is no stranger to very, very explosive remarks, offensive remarks in the past as part of his brand one of those people who said that before this story came out, after it came out, called me and said well, it was a very high bar, but he absolutely clear that bar that's the reality now for republicans, we saw routh, laura norman on capitol hill at south carolina republican house member saying that he needed to resign. Marjorie taylor greene saying she needed to learn more about this, but couldn't support someone who has these positions if it's true, how republicans react in the days ahead is going to be in but one thing that's really important right now around, you have seen nobody come out and defend him or support his explanation that he attempted to give andrew all right. It phil. Thank you. All so you know, obviously maga, we talk about how he if trump has to win, the state has to win this state. And people tend to vote republican or democrat. So when you got to governor republican and that's your candidate, that's not good for trump. Or i just didn't put the obvious out there. But the race is tight right now. Harris leads she's way behind with biden. This state wasn't even on the magazine a statistical tie. It testicle type all these states are statistical tie. She she's up in many of them shoving this with larry sabato from crystal ball team is afternoon says, they met after kfile's report comes out, they meet okay. Vile. And in the fastest move ever, they moved the race for governor in north carolina from lead d to likely day mrs. A. Fivealarm fire. While josh stein can feel pretty good about himself now, he is the attorney general of the state. He'd be the first jewish governor of north carolina if he's able, if he's able to win look mark robinson was not on his way to win this race what we have seen now and we should, we should be realistic about this. A lot of republicans, especially in the southern states, this has happened in georgia. This has also happened in arizona. They will leave trump off the top of the ticket and vote downballot for republicans, they will also likely they sometimes do the opposite so i don't think we should necessarily think that donald trump is toast here because the terrible republican candidate for governor is on his way to being toasted what do you think keisha? i think that this is hilarious. I think that this is hilarious because there's a long history of hypocritical republicans getting caught up in some messy sex scandal during the entire, well, it all its ongoing, so i can't say it's over, but this witch hunt against lgbtq people has been led by a bunch of homophobes who themselves were in the closet. These folks who are getting caught in trend gender, relationships, people who are soliciting sex from sex workers, all kind of crazy stuff has gone down. And so i'm not surprised by the hypocrisy here that we're seeing on display. And so i am looking forward to seeing who in republican party actually starts to call for him to step out of this race. In the next hour or so, erin printings with me obviously and, you know, trump well, erin, let me ask you about that. He literally there are five out. There's less than five hours, there's four hours and 49 minutes left for him to get out of this race. If he's going to get out of the race, should trump before seeing robinson out? that's really a question for donald trump at this point, but it doesn't seem like he's ever been the type of candidate to at least in this race, walk away from mark robinson. Mark robinson had previous comments that voters were well aware of and still elected him lieutenant governor. And he got trump's endorsement. I can't imagine that donald trump would backup wait from that endorsement and somehow turn up the heat. And the next four hours to try to boot robinson off the ballot and bring in a different republican. But this is the craziest election cycle in the history of election cycles. So i can certainly never say never that's important, right? i got to put that caveat out there. I respect you for that, erin, andrew, when you spoke with robinson, though he was one of the arguments he was making there was this was an ai thing and they're spending this billionaire all this money on ai to make up things about me. And this is in that category here are some of the things he told you ai has been used against me and anyone that knows how to use a to manipulate anything digitally. I have no idea how it was done, but are not my words. Okay. Explain how, you know, it's him. Well, erin, we found that robinson consistently use the same username. Many soldiers that he used on newt africa in all of his social media. He, you can see he used it on pinterest, black planet, youtube he even previously used it as his twitter handle, and actually his full name was even listed on this website along with an email that we found that he used on nude africa. He used on several other websites. Now, the biographical data from multiple websites using the username many soldier also man ash's mark robinson exactly to his date of birth, his hometown. The fact that his mother worked at an hbcu, and even that his favorite episode of the twilight zone is number 22. In an excruciating, as i use the word i'm very excruciating amount of detail, but i think it's important and you lay all that out i should just all posted on nude africa. That's why i hear you responding. Responding. I mean, the fact that it's all posted and if you actually read some of the things that you found and how graphic they are. It seems like some of it we're not sure we can't make yes. Literally written lied. Someone who months a writer for pornography films, but i mean, at the end of the day though, i think that there's a lot of hypocrisy happening. Now remember, donald trump at the top of the ticket has actually been found liable for sexual assault donald trump has saiaide fact that they're bedfellows really is i'm excited to see that the commonly campai actually making that connection because this is not an isolated incident in north carolina. This is symptomatic of who the republican party is right now margaret republicans, many of them not true although i guess he's distancing himself by not coming out and saying, oh, i support him, but he's many republicans are very clearly distancing themselves from robinson, calls for him to step down, but he made a lot of incendiary comments before, right? it's not as if suddenly this oh my gosh. Kfile reported on some of these other things like these anybody anywhere in america about gender homosexuality any of that fill the transgender movement in this country if there's a movement in this country that is demonic, and that is full of the spirit of antichrist is the transgender movement so on the sexual side of this, okay, because there's the stuff he said about slavery sexual side. So people who are saying, oh, well, you know, he's posting these disgusting, horrific you know, porn posts it's the hypocrisy is one thing. Okay. So he's watching transgender porn after he said these things they were okay okay with him saying these thinmaybe hypocrisy still is the unforgivable sin in politics. There we shall see, we shall see love, you know, obviously, there will be some republicans who didn't suggest that he should step down and there will be a majority of republicans who stay silent and hope it works itself out and then we'll silence well, i can see that north carolina's governor ship has gone most likely that that will probably have an effect on enthusiasm amongst republicans in north carolina, maga supporters are maga attempt to be awful and he cleared it. I mean, he did say these things before. So he said that demonic transgender movement. He said all of these things before. Is it the hypocrisy that he watched the porn that is a problem for them now, is it the stuff about slavery? do you, from people you're talking to, do you know if this, if this is true, which the lieutenant governor has said it isn't, but if it is true, it's all of it. It's every part of it. All of it would be on excusable and disgusting language that should be condemned in the strongest terms and republicans shouldn't campaign or support a candidate like that, and that's the issue here. It's all of it. It's not one piece that makes one part of it worse than the other. It's the fact that there is a litany, a possible litany of all of these messages of really dark, disgusting comments that can't be set on air if that's true, this is a problem and we need to make sure on both sides of the party that we are putting yep. Better quality candidates in the long run, because we always talk about the moral clarity in the moral morality of the republican party. If this is true, this is one of those instances where we would have coming up. So unbelievably short andrew, just give you the final word here. I got your checking it. You're realizing all the names match up, all the details match up you find incredible things all the time. But as your jaw go on the floor with some of this it gets interesting about one thing that's really interesting about this too, is actually the point that film made, which was that he was getting inquiries from people about what's the cnn story, what's the scene? answer it. Yeah we we weren't leaking the story. You know, somebody on his campaign was going to people telling them that there's a forthcoming story and that's going to borders and i think the question, at least here, sort of becomes, why was that happening? are people trying to get him out of the race before that deadline and so when you found this for me, at least some of it matches things that you might think mark robinson had said. But a lot of this, there is a major hypocrisy angle we'll do it as well. Yeah. I mean, absolutely. But as you point out, i mean, all day it was this upcoming story on cnn. Obviously you're doing your reporting, so you're calling them for comment. They knew there was a story coming. They knew some of what it was about. So why were they why were they doing and why? alright. Thank you all very much. And next our breaking news coverage continues because you know, as andrew just said, and as erin said, you just got a few hours left. If mark robbins is going to be out of this race, north carolina's republican treasurer, who ran against robinson, is my guess. Is he calling for him to drop out tonight in these final hours plus vice president harris tonight pinning her hopes on oprah, the two expected together shortly for what the campaign is calling big night. And just in more election, workers receiving suspicious male as threats against poll workers are surging i could not quote, quantify the number of death threats that we have received here to walk through a notoriously ganginfested part of el salvador's splitters, capital, and this area, especially dangerous the past four years, his country has seen a radical transformation her son is in jail, that it wasn't a gang member, but he clearly was part of it those were arrested we've actually met people who are now leaving the u.

Barbara tv on the edge premieres sunday at nine on cnn breaking news north carolina's top newspaper now calling for mark robinson to drop out of the race for governor. He has just about fourandahalf hours to do so. The deadline is midnight in a new editorial, the news and observer writing in part quote, republican lieutenant governor mark robinson has only one decent option now quit the race for governor once he was obnoxious and mean. Now he has become creepy if robinson won't go on his own republican leaders should explore ways to revoke his nomination. This coming hours after the stunning new k file reporting that robertson posted numerous disturbing comments on a pornography websites, message boards the calling himself a black nazi, defending slavery, saying he'd by slaves talking about watching transgender pornography incredible things that we will not say pornographic he's the stage treasurer, and this is your first national interview on this story. Still i appreciate your time this. Just ask you where were you stand on this right now? does robinson need to withdraw from that's why i chose to run for governor of north carolina. And after the losing to him in the primary, i did not endorse him. The people who selected him to be the nominee himself, obviously, filing for the office, as well as president trump and rnc chair michael watley. Those are the ones who selected him to be the nominee and the favorite and those ones that need to make that decision and make that call. And so you're are you hoping then that former president i think that what former president trump hopefully believes in is the republican party that i've observed in the last 50 years. And that's a party that's based on conservatism, common sense, courtesy humility humanity, and ethics and i have not observed in my time serving with lieutenant governor mark robinson that he possesses any of those traits. So we went through some of the things and as i said, some of the things that kfile found, we're not talking about because we can't they're just they're inappropriate for a broadcast like this it's some some really disgusting things. But he talked about being a black nazi. He talked about slavery, wasn't a bad thing that he would like to buy slaves he posted in pornographic detail about watching transgender porn, which is something that we know already in the past. He has said that transgender people are demonic and he has said other horrific things like that in the past, does the kfile reporting that we are hearing? tonight fit with what you know about robinson. Had you heard about any of these things? it kind of in the ether well, first video that is true and it's just another example of how mark robinson has not only fleeced the voters, but also the taxpayer tears and the donors to his campaign and for any of that, any part of that, he should apologize there is also, quotes that came up during the campaign where he stated that if rhetorically, if you beat the bird dog hell out of your wife at the mall, is that still considered domestic violence? i mean, there's no part of that sentence that she ever come together in terms of how we view things and my answer to your question is, is that as i said earlier, the things that the republican party that i have been a member for nearly 50 years is based on those qualities that i mentioned earlier. And i've never observed him presented think any of this. So the deadline is i as i understand it, for robinson to get out of the race is 11, p. M. Tonight. So this news is breaking just hours before the final decision has to be made so i know that there is a way if republican party is able to kind of the bosses of the party are able to approve it that you could theoretically replace him do you think that republicans can win the governor's race in north carolina though, if robinson does not withdraw what i think is that every single person in north carolina has conservative in some way, shape or form. Some of them turn the spigot off when they brush their teeth, sometimes cut that toothpaste into to get that last little dropout what we need and what we've always needed as someone who can not just explain but governed conservatively which means to conserve in a way that people can understand and that's what we have always needed north carolina and that's why this governor's race isn't jeopardy. So you mentioned foreign president trump so he has not come out and denounced this at all in these past hours. They have distanced themselves from him, saying, north korea is an important state to win. But the reason that i'm classifying that is distancing is because we know what trump thinks about robertson because he has told us repeatedly in ways like this this is martin luther king on steroids. I think you're better than martin luther king. I think you are martin luther king times 21 of the great stars of the party. What are the great stars in politics? lieutenant governor mark robinson wbd disappointed if he does not speak out tonight i was not selected by donald trump for his endorsement and i was looking forward as the next governor of north carolina to actually worked with president trump because he is going to be inheriting federal government that has an addiction for money, which has a negative impact on our state and working with anyone who can help us get lowcost natural gas in the eastern north carolina, which will liberate a big part of north carolina so i was not selected by former president trump to be the endorsed candidate in this race. And obviously, what happens over the next few hours is up, is up to him. It's up to him. And of course, we should note he did not endorse you. He endorsed vociferously mark robinson. Thank you very much. Still fall while i appreciate your time. Thank you. Thank you next, we have breaking news on the democratic side, harris calling in heavy hitter tonight, oprah, and tonight we have a special report on how harris his candidacy has unleased a surge of voter activism among black women also breaking tonight new reports of more election workers now receiving suspicious male just tonight.

That's what it was like did for me montgomery imery in tokyo and ts cnn the oprah treatment in what the harris campaign is calling a quote, big night, oprah winfrey will be joining harris for a massive rally, just moments from now, more tha200,000 people have already signed up to watch on facebook, instagram, youtube, and tiktok. Part of a nationwide movement let in part by black female supporters to motivate voters to vote for harris. Rene marsh is outfront historic candidacy has ignited a surge of activism among black women. We often talk about this idea of black girl magic and, or the suits you good sauce. It's the work is the work that black women have put in june. Take it ed, founder of wind with black women organized the zoom call that she says netted 90,000 black women in support of harris in the hours after president joe biden exited the race in july, she also organized thursday's virtual rally with a vise president, hosted by oprah. There have been over 140 zooms for kamala that have raised collectively over $20 that many of them have said that they weren't inspired by our call. We are here in these states, black women are crisscrossing battleground states to mobilize voters in places like north carolina where donald trump won by a little more than a point in 2020 good. At this political house party south of charlotte. Janice robinson is training a kitchen full of suburban women, how to boost voter turnout and flip the state blue. We call them troublemakers. We are training them how to talk to there friends, family, and acquaintances about the issues that are important in our carolina when it comes to convincing people to vote and become consistent voters people will listen to the people that they trust after trump's 2016 victory, the occupational therapists turned political activist, made it a mission to prevent his reelection. I pulled those lists of democrats and independents who lean democrat and we went knocking on doors making phone calls. She flipped her historically republican precinct blue and hopes to replicate the strategy statewide in 2020 black women were key to joe biden i didn't winning the presidency backing him over donald trump by roughly 80 point. Harris is counting on their support in november. And while she has not leaned into the history making aspect of her candidacy, she has embraced her ties to black sororities, including her own alpha kappa alpha, which is one of nine historically black fraternities and sororities that boast 2. 5 million members. The sorority recently launched its own political action committee, allowing it to support candidates. The driving force for these black women are the issues. Why is this so important for you to do this work? i went through one of those back alley abortions at 15 i'm i'm looking to be alive today. That's personal to me. Not only is it historic, but they're pivotal issues that on the ballot that black women are paying very close attention, paying attention, but also cleareyed about the challenge ahead. This fall we're going to more guy as is often make sure that this election turns out the way that we wanted to turn out. And if it doesn't, then it won't be because we did not do everything we could and erin, you can see that these black women who are organizing, they're going beyond communities of color, but will the unprecedented outreach that we are seeing by black women be enough to help harris carry those tight battleground states. While that is something that we'll have to wait and see after election. But tonight, harris, his campaign, sees this virtual event as a moment to try to reach a broad cross crosssection of persuadable voters. Aaron. All right. Rene, thank you very much. And of course you know, time with oprah and all the people watching that is hugely significant for harris. Harry enten is here to go beyond the numbers. So harry, let's talk about this when it comes to black voters and we just recently had a poll, obviously at a pennsylvania that showed harris out that was an overall polo. What are you seeing among this group in the state, pennsylvania? yes. I think this is one of most interesting trends and lines that we see in the electorate. And that is, let's take a look at black voters in pennsylvania will compare the 2020 exit poll to what we have in the september polls. And what do we see? joe biden in the exit poll carried black voters by 85 points. Look at the margin that kamala harris has right here. It's just 65 points on average, significantly less than what joe biden carried the state by, and this is part of a larger trend, aaron, because the fact is if we look for example, nationally what do we say? we see the exact same thing going on. Your black voters. This is nationally at this particular point of polls, biden was up by eight points. Kamala harris is up by just 63 points. You may be asking yourself how the heck is common? but harris winning in the state of pennsylvania at this particular point, at least according to the polls. Here's the reason why look at white voters. White voters in pennsylvania, 2020 exit poll, trump won by 15, his margin right now is just seven points, right? so it's white voters right now that are pushing her over the top, which is obviously very significant. All right. The breaking news from andrew kaczynski and kfile about the gubernatorial republican candidate in the state of north carolina. We have said this was not a swing state when it was biden trump, right? now it is a swingstate, correct? that is terrible news for trump? correct. Okay what how important is north carolina for trump's path to the white house? he believes in a threestate strategy. He believes that if he can carry georgia and he can carry north carolina carolina, and he can carry pennsylvania, then all of a sudden he gets to exactly 270 electoral votes. But if he loses just one of these states, let's say he loses in the state of pennsylvania all of a sudden, kamala harris can get to 270 electoral votes this way. Or if we take away these states. And in fact, we then say, okay let's give, we're going to put that there, but we give north carolina and georgia and then we go okay. We're going to give arizona and then we give nevada. That's another way she can get the 200. She's got a lot of pads. It seems more real than he does all right. So in light of this news, when you're watching politics, what do people googling? what are they looking at? what are you seeing tonight? take a look here. Google searches for mark robinson compared to yesterday. My goodness, gracious, up 4,900% nationally. And in the great state of north carolina, up 1,900%. It seems to me that our dear friend andy kaczynski's reporting has had a lot of impact, a lot of people search, certainly has. And just to note, north carolina, they know who he is and they're still looking hundred percent all right. Harry, thank you very, very much. And next more breaking news, the number of suspicious letters sent to election workers growing tonight officials now having to take extraordinary measures in order to keep the vote save this is a special report you'll see first outfront plus hezbollah vowing to retaliate after thousands of pagers and twoway radios exploded.

The sheriff's department. There are a number of people out there living seen with long guns, with automatic, a semiautomatic rifles because this is an open carry state since that night security has been ramped up. The vote count surrounded by surveillance cameras, iron fencing and armed guards near a couple of county is one of the largest and most competitive counties in the entire country. It's also a cauldron for conspiracies and misinformation cnn is getting an exclusive look at how law enforcement now protects democracy from chaos. Now, unfortunately, this building has turned into a bit of a fortress. But that's the reality of elections in 2024 it's primary day in arizona. And sergeant jeff wolf has been on duty since dawn monitoring for potential threats our staff has been out on the roads since approximately around 5:00 this morning. We want to know that our plan is providing a safe environment, but we don't want to project that were possibly intimidating the election process by having a large amount of uniform resources for patrol cars and things like that we have eyes everywhere video surveillance, or drones. So we're just watching for anything that might look like suspicious, anything that might potentially turn into a crowd or something criminal. Thank you, everybody for all the pre planning, logistics.

I'm very office. Were there counting 2020 change things dramatically at this as a major event now at it goes beyond just the election security we've seen a lot of threats that have come out to public officials, elections, workers, and that's very concerning because you have people that just doing their job serving the public, serving the community very busy start this morning for this primary election? well, when i came to the maricopa county board of supervisors in 2017, it was a sleepy but important part of now have to worry about things like our personal security bill gates is a republican miracle, but county supervisor, i could not quantify the number of death threats that we have received here today when somebody knocks on the door or rings the doorbell, our first urge isn't to swing the door open. Instead, it is. Who is that? what are they doing why are they at our house? and it's not just bill gates this year across the u. S. More than one in three election official say they have been threatened, harassed, or experienced abuse simply for doing their job here. Miracle, the county officials have invested more than 3 million since 2022, secure the election center and the workers who will be inside counting the ballots, people choose that they want to rush this building it would be extremely hard for them to do that. Said, i think that elections, whatever come to this kind of presence, i guess not i guess i didn't foresee this happening so i think the important thing is true prepare for that. And that's what we've done now people you just saw in that story handle all of this, is that they've been dealing with it since that night in 2020, there simply used to it. So bill gates and all of those other election officials in maricopa county, some of them have lost friends. They've had to testify in court against people who've threatened to kill them, kill their children. They've had to figure out how to exist in this world. Yet deal with all of these myths. So as they entered november, they entered with mental fortitude, but a belief that law enforcement will protect them and that this will be safe and transparent for the voters. Aaron. All right.
