The Trump Campaign and Trump Supporters very upset with the Associated Press and fox news calling arizona late on Election Night or early yesterday morning for joe biden. 50. 5 den up in arizona, to President Trumps 48. 1 , but the trump camp looking for the Associated Press and fox to pull back that call as they are looking for more ballots to be counted in arizona. We will be watching that throughout the morning. Now we take you to the senate battlefield. Here is what the map looks like in the senate. Four races yet to be called. Races in North Carolina, in alaska, and it in georgia. The special election in georgia and the regular election in georgia. David perdue looking to hold onto his seat and Kelly Loeffler, the republican, looking to win the special election to complete the full term. She was appointed to take over the seat of retired senator johnny isakson. That is the senate battlefield. We will note yesterday were two calls made in the senate race in michigan. Gary peters, the democrat holding onto his seat, and in maine Susan Collins holding onto her seat. We will look for the rest of the senate calls throughout the morning. Here is the state of the house battlefield. Seats,ts have 204 democrats who have been reelected or elected for the first time, republicans 190 seats. Those are the official calls. 41 races yet to be called in the house battlefield. That is what the map looks like on your screen. If you dig into the numbers, of those 41 outstanding races, nine are in new york, nine of the 27 house seats in new york have yet to be called. Also nine races yet to be called in california. Of the 53 house seats in california, four in pennsylvania, two in illinois, and one of those in illinois is the head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee , that is the campaign arm of House Democrats, a committee that is, under scrutiny after House Democrats underperformed what was expected to be a decent amount of gains and what is likely to be a handful of republican gains when it comes to the United States house. One other c2 note in new jersey. Congressman Jeff Van Drew who switched parties from democrat to republican, the freshman member of the republican conference, his race yet to be called in new jerseys Second District. A lot to keep an eye on this morning. We will do it all for you as we continue to take phone calls. Host we will take those calls and talk about legal challenges. Walter starts is often North Carolina, supporter President Trump. You are on. Go ahead. Walter from North Carolina . Hello . Caller how are you. Host you are on. Go ahead. Sayer i would like to thank you for letting me have this phone call. I am for trump and i think he has been cheated on. Hello . Host go ahead. Caller i am for donald trump good i am sorry he is getting cheated on by the Democratic Party. I do not understand why over the last four years the crimes have been committed, they have not been arrested and charged. Host ok. Caller i do not understand that. Committed all this fraud moneywise, he has not been charged, yet he is running for president. I think they should file charges in court. Int lets go to susan germantown, maryland, supporter of joe biden. Lets go. Caller thanks for taking my call. I want to say what is going on right now is no surprise to me, what trump is doing. Election,o steal this he does not want all of the votes counted. When he came out at 3 00 and declared victory he was called abc. Y both fox news and it does not surprise me. The fact that democrats did not do as well in the house and the senate did not surprise me much, either. We have to consider the movement because of what is coming. I will tell all the Trump Supporters, you know what is coming in 2040. According to the census, minorities will be the new majority, whites will be the new minority. It is already happening. Host lets hear from jason in falls church, virginia. A supporter of President Trump. Caller i am calling because i am worried i am pretty sure this is the largest voter fraud execution in American History in 4 30nsin between 3 30 and they found 130,000 pallets for joe biden. In michigan they found 200,000 and in for joe biden pennsylvania between 2 00 a. M. And 4 00 a. M. They found one million ballots for joe biden. This is not the first time theyve attempted a coup against this president. They did it with ukraine, trying to impeach him while the fbi has their hands on the hunter biden intop in 29 did in 2019 december, even before they started the impeachment. Host you think the president s legal challenges will go anywhere . Caller i think that what is happening is the media, including fox news, which people keep saying is for the president , they are going to create the narrative he has lost, i think either today or tomorrow or sometime this week they will announce joe biden has the 270 before any of the legal challenges can be followed through with. By the time the courts are able to deal with everything and the voter fraud is exposed, the narrative will have been set at joe biden one, there are demonstrations that will go on in the streets with people celebrating trumps out of office and it will create another massive civil unrest between left and right, and it is used to divide the country. They are trying to spark a civil war. Host lets go to william in mississippi, supporter of joe biden. Caller i think it is a good thank youst of all, for having me on the show and thank you for the job you do. What i want to say, i am all for the counting. Virusne knows we had the and what else could you do . I want to say i am all for the vote. Thank you so much. Collars. T some of the if you want to call us, 20274 88000. Support joe1 if you biden. If you support a thirdparty candidate and you want to give 2027488002. Christian in arizona, supporter President Trump, hello. Caller thank you so much for taking my call. Projectionse what the Associated Press or nbc or cnn or any media makes. The Democratic Party media that they own, they do not run elections. That includes fox news. If they refuse to acknowledge trumps acknowledge win causing people to throw it up or tantrum because they cannot get their way, but donald trump was reelected and we will fight it out in the Supreme Court. It will start in the state Supreme Court and it will move its way up, or we will start at the federal, move through the district, up to the Supreme Court. When all is said and done, donald j. Trump will have been found there were irregularities that had happened in the election, and whether we have to vote again or trump is declared the winner, he will be the president when it is all said and done. Host if that does not happen . Caller if it does not happen . It will happen. Like i said, i do not care what the media says. They can say that joe biden is the president until they are blue in the face, but when all is said and done, when the truth comes out, we will all know that this election, that fraud did happen in this election, and because of the fact that the Supreme Court is now conservative, we will find out that President Trump will be our president after 2021. Host that is christian in phoenix, arizona. Some of those thoughts on the legal challenges made by our viewers on facebook. Keep counting. Thousands of other volunteers spent hours calling democrats to request an absentee ballot. Keep listening to trump wine. Either could still win. Voter fraud at its finest. Bided to not win. Wait and see. Let the electoral board do their job. A lot going on when it comes to the legal challenges. Guest lets dig into that a little bit more. This is the headline from the Associated Press, trump susan three states laying the groundwork for contesting the outcome of the election. Those dates pennsylvania, michigan, and georgia, where the Trump Campaign is mounting new legal challenges. The Trump Campaign calling for a temporary halt to the counting until had his and given meaningful access and allowed to review ballots that have already been opened or processed. The ap story noting the Trump Campaign seeking to intervene in a pennsylvania case that deals with whether ballots received up to three days after the election can be counted. Trumps campaign has also announced it will ask for a recount in wisconsin, state the Associated Press called for bided wednesday afternoon. The Campaign Manager excited irregularities in several wisconsin counties without providing specifics. President trump taking to his twitter page to comment about these lawsuits. This was his tweet yesterday evening around dinnertime on the east coast. Our lawyers have asked for meaningful access, but what good does that do . The damage has already been done to the integrity of our system in the president ial election itself. This is what should be discussed. The Joe Biden Campaign reacting, joe biden saying no one is going to take our democracy away from us, not now, not ever. Tom wolf of pennsylvania reacting to the lawsuits in the president s comments, saying on twitter we have seen efforts across the country to undermine this election, including a lawsuit from the Trump Campaign to block the counting of ballots , the counting of your vote. This goes against the principles of our democracy and the right of every american citizen. Governor tom wolf goes on to say are Election Officials should be free to do their job without intimidation or attempts to subvert the demo the attempt to subvert the democratic process are disgraceful. Pennsylvania will count every vote and make sure your voice is heard. Democrats top election lawyer mark elias with a series of tweets. Two of them calling the Trump Campaign filing meritless lawsuits. He says they know they have lost and this is all they have left. Has anyone to tweet explained to trump that filing lawsuits is not the same as winning lawsuit . Rudy giuliani was in philadelphia talking about these lawsuits. Here is a bit of what he had to say. Guest this is among one of the most this is among one of the most antidemocratic things i have ever encountered. It is going on all over the country. We have filed a lawsuit. The lawsuit required when these you knowallots, that are highly suspicious anyway, the form of balloting always considered the most prone to fraud, that is according to the New York Times when its not apply to President Trump, we were supposed to be allowed by law to observe the counting of the ballots. Observe means, to any intelligent person, being able to look at it. The way it is interpreted by the democrat crooked machine of philadelphia is the observers can be 20 or 30 feet away. Never able to see the ballot itself. Never able to see if it was properly postmarked, properly addressed, properly signed on the outside. All of the things that often lead to disqualification of ballots, or make it easy to dump 50,000 fraudulent ballots because they are not observed. Hours while for 20 all of you thought there was a legitimate count going on in philadelphia. It was totally illegitimate. We went back to court and we went before a democrat judge. No need to tell you what the result in philadelphia was for a democrat judge. Obviously a political hack who does not know the meaning of the word observe. Observe means to be able to look. Not a single republican has been able to look in any one of these ballots. They could be from mars as far as we are concerned, or they could be from the Democratic National committee. Joe biden could have voted 5000 times as far as we know. The ballots could be from camden. Philadelphia has a reputation for voter fraud. We have a reputation for dead people voting. We will look at how many dead people voted. We should not have to do that but we well. You have reputation of people being bused in from camden. Would not be the first time that happened. This goes way beyond any of that. Let me also add this is not happening just here. We have exactly the same lawsuit in wisconsin, where exactly the same thing happened, except in morningn at 4 00 in the , 120,000 ballots appeared. Here come these ballots. We have no idea if they are ballots. We have no idea if they are signed, if there postmarked properly, if it is not just the same person who submitted 100,000 ballots. They all got counted. This is the way they intend to by good now im informed former congressman sweeney, who has been going around the country collecting this information, a similar situation in arizona, a similar situation in nevada, and a similar situation what my missing . In michigan. Detroit, michigan. Let me be specific what it is. This whole new thing that never happened before in our country, in ballots, which can easily be fraudulent. One of the things the law attaches is the right for both parties to observe the ballots. The way we do with absentee ballots to make certain it is ,roperly signed on the outside you make sure it is properly , you make sure it is properly addressed, and then you pass on it. The number of these are often challenged by the democratic representative for the republican representative. We have not had a chance to look at a single one of them. The gentleman here who did this for us says about 100,000 ballots went through that process and the 20 plus hours in which they wasted his time by not allowing him to see a single ballot. Whichs 120,000 ballots should be taken out of the account. You want to look at that number, that 120,000 should come out. This is an area of which joe biden is getting 60 or 70 of the vote. I do not know this is going on any other place, but it is going on with enough frequency in wisconsin, and that we have to look at three other places. What it says to me is this is a crooksed effort of the that run the democrat party. You know these bigcity machines are crooked. You know that. 20 years, 30 years, four years, 50 years, 100 years of oneparty rule leads to corruption of all kinds. Voter fraud is one of the biggest because that is how you keep your power. We will not let them get away with it. They will not steal this election. This election is decided by the people. These people, the elite, they do not care about the people. The deplorables, the chumps. They are not important. Trump, he is the whole reason he ran for office. He is the whole reason for which he is carrying on his campaign, so your vote can mean something, so your vote does not get wiped out by 100,000 fraudulent paper ballots that no one gets to observe. We are going to continue the lawsuit. We will bring a second one. We will bring a federal lawsuit, and we will take a very good look at whether we bring this nationally. Certainly we will bring it here and in wisconsin. Quite possibly we will do a National Lawsuit and really expose the corruption of the democrat party. Host there was more to that event, and if you want to check it out you can do so at cspan. Org. Sandra from South Carolina, thanks for going on thanks for holding on, go ahead. Caller i am sick and tired of what is going on. We are seeing people we are seeing evil. I am a supporter President Trump. We have a supporter that loves america, that is bringing jobs back, that is taking care of americas borders, and he has fought all along against a Democrat Congress that has been the crookedest ive have ever in my life seen and i do not understand how people cannot see this. Does people not have common sense anymore . The Democratic Party will lie, cheat, and steal, and that is what they are doing. I want america to say they are tired of this and get up and fight. Say i am mad as hell, im not going to take this no more. Lets fight this because it is people. Did they not because it is evil. Did they not see joe biden is sick . He should be under a doctors care. My husband died of dementia. That man is in no shape to run this country. Host we go to dean in louisville, kentucky. Republican. A did joe biden carry pennsylvania . Host pennsylvania has not been called yet. I think pennsylvania goes to donald trump. They do not know who is going to be the winner. Talk about fox news corruption. Give me a break. I am a republican. Dodger, he called us suckers. He said im not going to fight for my country. He loves patriotism when some one else gets killed. Host greg in michigan, a supporter of joe biden, hello. Caller thank you for taking my call. We have a lot of intelligent people who called your show. I am for joe biden and harris and i have been a lifelong. Emocrat i know there are bad parts on both sides, but we have a president who does not care about the average individual. The average individual in this country does not make 700 million a year. That could things be, there is always little truth to the rumor no matter how you do it. I think joe biden and Kamala Harris would be good for the country. They keep saying with them in office there will be socialism, and i do not think that true. I think joe biden has been the Vice President for eight years. He brought back General Motors and crisis. And chrysler. I think he is working for everybody, not just certain people. I have friends of mine who are trumpers for sure, but we are still friend. Accusinglling in and of wanting to get giuliani or donald trump to look into hunter biden. Hunter biden is not running for president. It is joe biden. Host we go to shane in lakewood, california. Our line for others. I voted for dr. Jo jorgensen this year. We all know she is not going to win, but the third party is getting bigger, and i think we are all tired of fighting back and forth between the democrats and republicans. That is for sure. Jo jorgensen think performed better than gary johnson or how do you think she performed overall . ,aller if i remember correctly she got about 80,000 votes in california and im pretty sure that is a few thousand more than what gary johnson did in 2016. Host what brought you to the Libertarian Party in the first place . Of the twom tired party system. I do not think it has worked out. I think we need a change and i think the Libertarian Party should bring that change. Host how so . There are things like the whole decriminalizing drugs. In oregon they have decriminalized magic mushrooms, left, but alsohe stuff like your second moment rights. That is right. It is right in the middle. Host janine in maryland, a supporter of joe biden. Hello. Caller i have two points. My first point for people complaining the Democratic Party is cheating, it is simply not true. What we have watched over the course of a couple of months is fake ballot boxes by republicans being put in place in different states like california. Dejoy taking out sorting machines that make it easier to process ballots, process the mail. Militia groups intimidating voters at the polls. That is cheating by the republicans. My second point is what we are witnessing is the Democratic Party has a diverse party. Supportd brown People Democrats overwhelmingly. It looks like they have come out to vote in large numbers. The president is the one who disparaged people voting by mail. If anybody should be upset about vote for trump, it is trump. He said for many months that the mailin ballot process was fraudulent. Even his own operatives, his republican operatives said you should not say that because a lot of people vote by mail. You should encourage your supporters to do so also. Do not get mad at the democrats because the democrats did not listen to trump. That is denise in maryland , part of the first halfhour of calls as we have seen them when it comes to this years election. For more information on that and other things, john mcardle. Focus lion share of the on the president ial race in these final states in the allimportant electoral vote count and the outstanding senate and house races as well. Also want to keep you updated on what is happening on capitol hill. We will show you tweets from cspans capitol hill producer, who notes that the house is holding its first postelection session today, but no votes are scheduled to take place until monday. Today at 10 30 there will be a pro forma session. The Party Leadership election for the next congress will be held later next week. When it comes to those leadership elections, the leadership of House Democrats is question at this point. Craig kaplan noting how democrats are holding their first postelection caucus call today to discuss the results in which they lost many seats to republicans as well as their agenda for the lameduck session beginning november 16. Nancy pelosi in a letter to democrats called this years election challenging. More from that letter from nancy pelosi to her caucus ahead of the leadership elections this is what she had to say to her team. The American People made their choice clear at the ballot box and are sending joe biden and Kamala Harris to the white house. Working with the democratic white house, we will have the opportunity to deliver extort neri progress. Together we will continue to deliver on our successful forthepeople agenda, your paychecks by building Green Infrastructure and cleaner government. Though it was a challenging election, all of our candidates, both frontline enabled democrats to hold the house and flip critical battleground states, building on margins across the board. Our discipline in building a mess about a field proved essential in keeping the majority. Democrats are respected to keep the majority, but not expected to grow it from what it was in the Previous Congress as was originally thought heading into election day. Some projections had democrats winning 5, 15, or 20 seats in the house, and it is likely that republicans will pick up a handful of seats or more, which noted, there is question who will be leading House Democrats in the next congress, whether nancy pelosi will receive a challenge to that leadership election. This is a story from the hill. Centrist democrats are talking about leadership changes. Houseiced moderate democrats they and other centrists are privately discussing a plan that was unthinkable just 24 hours earlier, throwing their support behind a challenger to nancy pelosi. The two democrats told the hill yesterday they were reaching out to their colleagues about backing one of her top lieutenants come House Democratic caucus chairman jeffries come of the first speaker in the eight the idea was shut down by jeffries, noting that he is keeping his current spot. Grumbling notes a markable shift among the democrats. Certainly a storyline to watch. People textinghe in, john and texas saying this is total voter fraud, texas voted for President Trump and he is the president of texas. This is from carly in minnesota. Hey, rudy, when will you be able to prove any of your allegations . It is difficult for the public to believe everybody is as crooked as you and trump. Her desperation is showing. Telling the American People that their voice does not matter, we the people, not we the republicans. And Anthony Inman milton in illinois say that if ballots are such a threat, why not a recount . A support President Trump. Hello. Caller yes. I think this is the most ridiculous election i have ever seen. I just dont understand it. Im a registered democrat, but i voted for trump and pence because i believe in them. He has helped this country. People seem to forget the jobs and the rise of everything as it was. They used the covid against him, and he has done everything in this. Wer to help i dont understand why now they are not even saying a word about covid on the news, and i think that is said. Host dan in mississippi, a supporter of joe biden, hello. Caller how are you this morning . Host is it grenada or granada . Caller granada. I want to put this to the Trump Supporters. Count they not want to the votes in the large cities like Dekalb County and georgia, milwaukee . Voters mostly democrat and mostly black voters. Want to count those votes . That is kind of strange to me. Host there are a lot of legal fronts that john mcardle talked about, the variety of fronts and where they are going with some of these challenges. John addressed that earlier, but we will revisit that throughout the money. Spring city, tennessee, a supporter of President Trump. This is sarah. Hello. Caller how are you today . Host fine, thank you. Go ahead. Caller why hasnt anybody brought up the point to where in pennsylvania they found a bunch of military ballots in the trash and have officially counted nine of them for trump, and we are also talking about people at voting stations, giving them sharpies for their ballots. Why is nobody talking about this stuff . Host you are talking about the events in michigan with the sharpie . Caller yeah. Host i think that was addressed by the secretary of state. They put out a statement about the various implements given out in the process. Go ahead. Is, herey other thing in tennessee we are big trump fans, but i am not understanding how all these states that are blue that have a majority of red for trump are our voices not validated . I understand that in the blue there are a whole bunch of other people voting for biden, but a majority of it is read. Host sarah in spring city, tennessee, talking about her concerns over what she is seeing. Back to john mcardle for a bit. The sharpiemp in on issue that you and the caller were talking about. We refer to the fox news story on the topic. An issue out of arizona, the Republican Attorney Generals Office in arizona invested getting complaints from some Maricopa County voters that their ballots may have been discarded because they were filled out with a sharpie. It is of course a brand of permanent marker that President Trump is famous for using. In the wednesday letter from the solicitor general there, to the Maricopa County elections director, the Prosecutors Office requested information on the validity of the ballots filled out with markers by thursday morning, so we are expected to find more out by then. This is what the deputy Attorney Generals Office wrote in that letter. We have received hundreds of voter completes regarding the use of a sharpie brand marker fill out ballots on election day at Voting Centers in Maricopa County. Voters are concerned that the use of sharpies may have caused their ballots to be rejected or spoiled or canceled, and asked for a response by thursday morning. So certainly a story that is being monitored out of arizona. In bristol, connecticut, a supporter of joe biden. Hello. People yes, the american voted for biden, and that is the bottom line. This is america, not russia. Now we are going to have a president who stands up to putin in helsinki now. Host it is not 100 yet, but go ahead. Caller joe biden had better get his people into the white house, in the state department, and the attorney general so that no papers are shredded. The word that he is out, he is going to start shredding papers. This guy is a vengeful guy. I would like to say god bless america. Host that is john in connecticut, a supporter of joe biden, joe biden going before cameras to talk about election results. Yesterdayw americans, was again proved that democracy is the heartbeat of this nation. Just as it has been the heartbeat of this nation for two centuries. Even in the face of pandemic, more americans voted this election than ever before in American History. Over 150 Million People cast their votes. I think that is just extraordinary. If we had any doubts, we should not have any longer. By, andgovernment, of, for the people. It is very much alive, very much alive in america. Here the people rule. Power cannot be taken or asserted. It flows from the people. It is there will that determines who will be the president of the United States, and there will alone. And now after a long night of counting, it is clear that we are winning enough states to reach 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. I am not here to declare that we have won, but i am here to report when the count is finished, we believe we will be the winners. Of all the votes counted, we have won wisconsin by 20,000 votes. Virtually the same margin that President Trump won that state four years ago. In michigan we lead by over 35,000 votes, and it is growing. A substantially bigger margin than President Trump won michigan in 2016. Michigan will complete its vote soon. Maybe as early as today. I feel very good about pennsylvania. Virtually all the remaining ballots to be counted were cast by mail. We have been winning 78 of the votes by mail in pennsylvania. We have flipped arizona, and the Second District of nebraska. Isspecial significance to me that we have won with the ,ajority of the American People and every indication is that the majority will grow. We have a popular vote lead of nearly 3 million votes, and every indication is that will grow as well. Indeed, senator harris and i are thanack to win more votes any ticket in the history of this country. That ever won a presidency and vice presidency. Ver 70 million votes im very proud of our campaign. Only three president ial campaigns in the past have defeated an incumbent president. When it is finished, god willing, we will be the fourth. This is a major achievement. This is a major achievement. It has been a long and difficult campaign, but it has been a more difficult time for our country, a hard time. We have had a Hard Campaign before. We have faced hard times before. So once this election is finalized and behind us, it will be time for us to do what we have always done as americans, to put the harsh rhetoric of the campaign behind us, to lower the temperature, to see each other. Gain, to listen to one another to hear each other again and respect and care for one another. To unite, to heal, to come together as a nation. I know this one be easy. Im not naive. Neither of us are. I know how deep and hard the opposing views are in our country on so many things, but i also know this as well. To make progress, we have to stop treating our opponents as enemies. We are not enemies. What brings us together as americans is so much stronger than anything that can tear us apart. So let me be clear. We are campaigning as democrats, but i will govern as an american president. Not aesidency itself is partisan institution. It is the one office in this ,ation that represents everyone and it demands the duty of care for all americans. That is precisely what i will do. I will work as hard for those who did not vote for me as i will for those who did vote for me. Counted. Vote must be no one is going to take our democracy away from us, not now, not ever. Far. Cans have come too americas foot too many barrels battles. We, the people, not be silenced. We, the people, will not be bullied. We, the people, will not surrender. My friends, i am confident we will emerge victorious. My victoryll not be alone or our victory alone. It will be a victory for the American People, for our and there will be no blue states and red states when we win, just the United States of america. And may godu all, protect our troops. Host you can find more of that on our website, cspan. Org. Georgia, ae from supporter of President Trump. Caller i have never been so fired up in my life. Ive been calling your Great Network for 30 years. I think trump is the best leader in history. We carried my county by 81 , and im giving all my energy the next two weeks to reelecting the great Kelly Lambert for senate. I think hes going to win without a runoff, but i will be giving all my energy, and i have been calling everybody i have known. I do a lot of talk shows and i think Kelly Leffler we have a great new congressman. I think marjorie and kelly would join together and become the best experience champions in history. A. 4 difference between joe biden and georgia. Do you think the president will win or joe biden . Caller i definitely think trump is going to win. There are not that many votes left. I think trump will be reelected president , and im going to do everything i can to help him and to help Kelly Leffler be reelected to the senate. I have there been so fired up. Under trump, look what has happened the last few days. It is unbelievable. Stocks are going wild under trump. It is great for the economy. I think trump is the best leader in world history. We go to havana, illinois, connie for others. On the line for others. Im a libertarian at heart. The reason why is the focus on small government. Everything is local. If you are worried about what your kids are being taught in school, go to your school board meetings. Joe biden and as i am a cspan junkie. I honestly get all my news from you. I watch the senate, i watch the to both listened campaign speeches. There are three things that really worried me about joe biden, and im in a small one, oh, dear im losing my train of thought here. Go on to two than. Caller he likes to say he wants free preschool for all children aged 3. And he wants free college. That isfree, free our property taxes here, and i old, so iber i am remember when kindergarten was optional, and then it was half a day mandatory, then it was full day mandatory. And i think if that is how threeyearolds are going to be plus, is the Community Going to have to build more schools and pay more people . That is connie. Now a supporter of joe biden. Caller thank you for taking my call. I just want to say that i am surprised at how the Republican Party is reacting toward the election process. When hillary had over 3 million popular votes, hillary did not file no lawsuit. Her campaign didnt go back and try to suppress votes. Joe biden has over 3 million popular votes, so people need to just understand the voting process and quit fighting and let the process work through itself and calm down and just take it like hillary did. She did not review any of that. I just wanted to say that. Host steve in indiana, a supporter of President Trump, hi. Caller i just wanted to say that today seven democrats are not john f. Kennedy. Todays democrats are not john f. Kennedy. We are in deep trouble if we put the left wing, if they get in charge. Trump shoots straight. He tells it the way it is. It is rash, but he tells it the way it is. Host to when you hear joe biden say he wants to be president of all americans, you dont believe that . Caller i dont think he can tell the truth. He is deceiving us, im telling you. Thanks. Host ok, we go back to john mcardle. A couple of callers already this morn have talked about the protesters gathering outside a ballot counting ballot counting facilities in key states. There is a story from the hill newspaper, focusing on some of those protests in detroit. The protests happening at the Detroit Convention center, where michigan votes continue to be counted. Video footage of that incident showing people shouting stop the count, stop the vote, coming on the same day that the Trump Campaign filed lawsuits in michigan and pennsylvania asking for a temporary halt to counting until they are given better access, allowed to review ballots that have already been opened and processed. I want to show viewers some of the scene from both outside and inside that convention center, first outside, this tweet from Bloomberg Politics yesterday. Take a listen. Stop the count stop the count that from outside the convention center, and then this video from a Washington Post photojournalist, his tweet yesterday about the scene inside. Stop the count stop the count stop the count stop the count stop the count stop the count stop the count that from the Washington Post. That is happening in michigan. Stop the count was the chant there. I want to take you to arizona yesterday. We talked about arizona, a razor thin margin there. Zona state, that associate associate press and fox news called for joe biden. Gathering outside the State Capitol in arizona, supporters of President Trump calling for the ballots to continue to be counted. They believe President Trump still has a chance to win arizonasnd one of republican members of congress, paul gosar, joint one of those gatherings in the state capital yesterday. Here is some of the scene that he posted from that gathering. You can hear the count devote chant in this video. Vote chant in this video. Straight hours. Vote nt the count the votes count the votes count the votes count the votes count the votes yesterday, phoenix posted by commerce and paul gosar, a couple of other images from what was happening in Maricopa County at their Election Center yesterday. This posted by michael chow of the arizona republic. Trump supporters gathering outside of the Election Center, demanding that they count the vote. You can see the arms demonstrator there. This was an image from inside that Election Center. This was posted by breanna oftney from cbs 5 out arizona, showing Maricopa County sheriffs deputies ready and Tactical Gear inside the Election Center. She writes, potentially to make a move on the protesters and demonstrators outside as the crowd continues to grow. Some of the scenes from around the country yesterday. Our twitter account, that you can participate as well. Please go online and track your vote. My voted i learned that was canceled due to a questionable signature. I was able to fix it. From steve, allowing meaningful access is not an unreasonable rule unless you have something to hide. Ivan is next, a supporter of your biden from tennessee. Caller good morning, pedro. For joe biden. You know, the postmaster general was taking up mailboxes and stuff, nobody even said anything about that. Then the piece of paper that was protested, those people you see right there, Trump Supporters, they was coming in there and doing all the damage that they did. They wanted to claim that the democrats was doing it. It is those people that you see chanting out there that was in the protest, and they are the ones. Larry is next up, maryland, a supporter of President Trump. Hello. Caller there is rampant fraud. The congresswoman from arizona said there are 600,000 uncounted votes, fraud transpired in philadelphia. The sharpies, they showed a ofyer with a camera, a video and joe biden is a chinese operative and we are heading toward a civil war. Make no mistake about it. He doesif joe biden, if not get in the white house, he is going to prison. Steve in oako ridge, tennessee, a supporter of joe biden. Hello. Caller good morning, pedro. I would like to address the lady from South Carolina that stated that the democrats are willing to lie, cheat, and steel to win the election. In 2018 i lived in north republicand the candidate was mark harris, a retired preacher from the biggest Baptist Church in charlotte. Caught harvesting votes. He denied it. He went before the election board and he denied it, and his son got up in front of the election board and stated that his father was lying at new what was going on. So if you want to talk about lying and cheating and stealing, there is a good example. I think also the top three republican officials in North Carolina were indicted for the postmastero general is under investigation right now for illegal contributions. All those folks that are out there saying that the democrats are going to lie, cheat and toal, if you would get john fact check that, i would think that would be great. Host greg in new carlisle, ohio, a supporter of President Trump. You are up next. Caller good morning. I would like to know why donald screwed. Being from the very first day until 20s ash from the very first day of 2016 until now from the very first day of 2016 until now. He is being screwed. I believe donald trump has the president art of any that any president has. Would you answer me this, yes or no . Trump im sorry. Host we will go to rebecca in california on our line for others. Caller good morning. I just really wanted to make a couple of comments. My concernmment is is president pelosi. If trump is going to do all these lawsuits, that just goes on and on and on, and it is my understanding that if a certain amount of time goes by and a decision is not made, that the speaker of the house becomes the president. Now, my second comment is, we are screwed either way. If biden wins, he is going to lock us up for three months to get rid of the virus. If trump wins, he is going to open us up, and you will have to enter the world at your own risk. My last thing is i would like to advocate for the American People. We cannot take much more of this. We are on the edge of the ledge. Weve got to see some kind of resolution here. Thank you. Host rebecca, to your first point as far as Speaker Pelosi, that is a great question for john mcardle to tackle and dig into, to see the role that she may play in this to see if certain scenarios parse out. Maybe he can find some answers and bring that back to us in a little bit. Tallahassee, florida, a supporter of joe biden. Good morning. This is bill. Caller the only victim here, people talking about donald trump as a victim, the only victim here is the u. S. Democracy. Our republic. I am 66 years old, and i have such actions by any candidate for anything. They want to count the votes in arizona, but they want to stop the vote in another place. That right there shows you that they are not interested in getting the results and the truth, that they just want they are the ones trying to steal the election. Military used to have up to two weeks to get their votes in because they were overseas. After the election. If they were postmarked on the day of the election. Host that is bill in tallahassee, florida. Lets go to john mcardle. Caller i appreciate i appreciate the homework you are giving me. Keeping viewers uptodate on the latest with the vote tallies coming in, i want to take viewers to the Georgia Senate race, where senator david purdue is trying to hold onto his seat against jon ossoff, his democratic challenger. Cspan viewers might remember jon ossoff from the very expensive georgia six special election that broke fundraising records, jon ossoff trying to knock off david purdue there. You can see the numbers separated by more than two points, but the key number here in georgia is 50 . David purdue down to 50 . If he gets under 50 of the vote, this heads to the race heads to an automatic runoff on january 5. Even if he has higher Percentage Points, if it is under 50 , it goes to a january 5 special election. You will remember that the january runoff, there is a special election taking place on generally five as well, the seat that Kelly Leffler is trying to hold onto. She is in a race against her democratic challenger, rafael warnock, there in georgia. So georgia could become a key state january 5 with two final senate seats being decided that day. To put this in context for you, right now democrats have taken over two seats in the senate. That is in colorado and arizona. Republicans have taken over one seat in the senate. That is in alabama, or senator doug jones lost his seat to tell me to prevail. Two tommy to reveal. Two tommy tupper ville. If thom tillis hold onto his seat in North Carolina as well, they could net three seats in the senate, and the reason i bring that up is because if joe bidens president , democrats would need to net three seats to take over the senate. So the senate could still be in play if this Georgia Special election, the georgia regular election of david purdue goes to a runoff alongside that special election. So something about super bowl in the senate could be taking place january 5 in georgia. So we will continue to watch what happens there into peach state. It is just after 8 00, one hour of a threehour program today. 2027488000 for those of you who support joe biden and Kamala Harris. 2027488001 if you support President Trump and Vice President mike pence. If you supported another candidate altogether, 2027488002. You can text us, tweet us, and you can post on facebook. We will hear from charity, starting off in the second hour. A supporter of President Trump. Caller good morning. Just some factual points i want to make. Let me start with my history. I am working american, and i never used to be into politics. I was a default democrat, but then my boyfriend had a hand in explaining that swaying me because at first i said trump is racist, this and that, but then after some time you can literally see that he is making sense and he is making progress. The points i want to make is we are down in florida. We have already won for trump, but we basically are just sitting at home, hoping to god that the people in wisconsin, michigan, that they will do becausee diligence fraudulent things have been happening. It is actual fact. You can see that it is unprecedented. , theclosed down the county ballots. After they closed it down, they started bussing in mysterious ballots and things like that overnight, after they just closed the county down. How does that work . Host what convinces you of that fact or that assertion . Caller they have video of it happening. I believe valid observers that were not able to observe the ballots. They have video of it actually happening. So my questioning so my question is, and you dont even need an id to vote. So it is in plain sight. I dont see how people are allowing this to happen. Host that is charity in tampa. Another floridian in devonport. This is jane, a supporter of joe biden. Caller hi. I just wanted to say that it is not so much about supporting biden, but i did work the polls for the first time this year. Of the peoplemuch saying that there is all this cheating going on and they dont understand the process. It was very illuminating for me to see how the votes are counted, how the votes are registered. How they are collected at the end of the night. The polls do close at 7 00 im a but i did not get to leave that room until 10 00 but i did not get to leave that room until 10 00. All the numbers have to be matched up. Everything has to be certified, and then they go into a car and are taken to another place. People might misinterpret certain things like that. But what i did see is that you are working and you are making sure the forms are correct and you are putting in the numbers the way you need to put them in, and you dont even notice who is a democrat or who is a republican. We just make sure that everyone gets a fair process. That is the overriding concern. Host how much education did you have about all this process before being before showing up to be a worker. Caller ordinarily it would have been a couple of hours in a classroom, but we completed an online quiz, and then of course when you show up you have your book that instructs you again. You also have several supervisors if you have a question, something out of the ordinary happens. We had three poll watchers from the Trump Campaign. One was from gop, one was from trump, and one was from some other organization. They never had a question. They eventually left early or smooth,t it was so and people should just calm down and let these folks count the ballots. Many checks and balances that they dont realize. It is very hard to vote twice. Host that is jane in florida, giving her spirits as a poll worker. We will hear from a supporter of President Trump in colorado. Owen is next. Caller how are you doing this morning . Host fine, thanks. Go ahead. Caller i just wanted to say i have been to the casino when it was the trump casino and i won even on the way out the door. But then when the indians took over, i didnt win nothing. The guy is really honest. You know what they did . Relateow does this all to the electoral results . Caller yeah, what i was saying scam. Is is a this is all to take trumps economy so they can win this election. But joe biden he doesnt even constitution, and he says we have to rely on scientists when obviously our father in heaven, god, he is the one that gives us our unalienable rights. Host why do you relate what you say is a scam directly to nancy pelosi . Caller over in california, the election, they were already calling it before they even got the votes to riverside yet. They already gave the answer out that they had already won. Host and how does that relate to Speaker Pelosi . Know, i mean, i dont but you look at all the states of california, oregon, they all got fires in them. Host that is owen in colorado. Leader keviny mccarthy was asked about the about fraudcomments yesterday. Here is his response. This is asident said fraud on the american public, this is an embarrassment to the country fulton you think the president should be slowing down on the integrity of the election . Your questions never change. Your questions never change. You said that last night. Your questions never change. I think what the president wants to see is that every legal vote gets counted. Stop counting votes. A lot of house races are still counting votes. Do you think the president should say that . Again, your questions never change. What the president wants to make sure is that every legal vote is counted. The people vote up until election day, not the days after , as others would have. That is what the president refers to. I dont think the president exactly whatt is the president was expressing. I know you want to express Something Different and i know you will be upset if the president wins reelection again, but the American People have a point. The posters were wrong just like they were wrong for years ago. This is what a republic and a democracy is about. We want to make sure it is legal and fair and that every legal vote is counted, and that is what we are working towards. But i dont think people should vote after the election, no. Host from texas, a text saying you the vote, count when are winning, stop when youre losing, that is what the republicans want. Mike, can we have a adult conversation . It is clear that half the country wants Something Different than the other half does. We are going to keep each other from being able to move forward. Atyou want to text us, do so 2027488003. Hello. Caller thank you for taking my call. I have never listen to your program before where people call in. This is so entertaining to me, these poor delusional trump trumpers, i feel so sorry for them. I really do. Especially the lady from South Carolina who said my god, there was so much read on the map. How come we dont have more vote . Somebody needs to tell her that Rural America doesnt have as much population. These people are delusional. They belong in a home somewhere, they really do. Danielle, thank you for watching the program. You should know that we invite everybody to call and express their thoughts on the lines we have chosen. Keep watching and see how other people respond to events going on currently in the United States when it comes to this election. Bob in york, pennsylvania, our line for others. Hello. Caller i am an independent. I have seen the vote and seen how close this is. It shows what a huge divide we have in this country. And i dont think it is going to get better. The positive note, at least it was nice to see some people that were outside talking about count the vote or not count the vote, instead of people running around burning in cities and looting stores, so i think there is this huge divide between the rural and the urban type areas. It is just unfortunate that we are going to be in a lot of trouble if we dont get this columned calms down, and i just dont see trump or biden as to bring this country in the right direction, especially if it is 5050. Host what elements have to take place for calming down, as you describe it . I think we have too many politicians that have been in there for years. You look at pelosi, you look at biden i mean, people on the republican side. We have ald age, like geriatric government, and they are not going to get out. It is sad. If you dont get that change element and i mean change for our country i mean, im a veteran. I was proud of my country. I remember what kennedy said. It is not what you can do for yourself, it is what you can do for your country. Have lost that in this country, and it is sad and unfortunate. Im very concerned about how we are going to go. Host when you voted on election day or earlier, who did you vote for . Caller i voted for the independent candidate. Host which party . Caller im not going to mention that. Host why pursue that rather than the two parties, considering the effect it would have as far as somebody winning, and the independent candidate not winning . Think right now i dont we have enough adults on either side of these two Political Parties to run this country properly. They are all concerned about what they can do for themselves, not for the people of this country, unfortunately. Host st. Petersburg, florida, this is cindy, a supporter of joe biden. Hello. Caller hello. Thank you for taking my call. Yes, i have been in the middle. There are some things i believe on the left, like the environment. I am very concerned about the environment. And on the right. I want the loopholes closed in the immigration visas that are stealing american jobs, whitecollar jobs. But so i was going back and forth as to who to choose from. The other day, for the election, i was walking down the road and i heard some music, and i had stopshirt on that said, overpopulation and overdevelopment. In here in florida, it is unbelievable. There is no stop to it. But that is neither here nor there. The thing is, that message is for all parties, and host how does that specifically relate to joe biden . Caller when i was walking down the street, i heard this music and i thought it was a band. And i walked in and it was a trump rally going on. It, and walking through they were telling me to go kill myself. That would make one less person in piniellas county. Well, if they looked at the statistics, 90 people today are moving into the county. That means with one person gone, 89 more fill the spot. Host that is cindy in st. Petersburg, florida. She is referencing her location. This is john mcardle joining us. I want to update viewers on where we are on the president ial electoral vote count and what we are expecting today with the help of jamie longtimeox media capitol hill reporter. This was his tweet this morning. This morning should bring more updates from georgia and pennsylvania. Nevada will start releasing more votes around noon eastern time, 9 00 a. M. Out in silver state, and arizona is not expected to update until 9 00 p. M. Eastern tonight. So just to take you around the map right now of the latest georgia vote numbers. They have been changing this morning. Margin in razor thin the senate race, and the president ial race also tightening. 49 point 6 for President Trump in georgia, 49. 2 for former Vice President joe biden, less than half a percentage separating the two in the peach state right now. More results expected throughout the morning. To pennsylvania, here is where it stands with 11 still out. Plenty of votes to count, President Trump at 57. 7 , joe biden at 48. 1 . In the vada, we expect these results around lunchtime. Arizona. As we said, the trump camp does still think they have a path to win arizona, even though the Associated Press and fox news called it early in the morning yesterday for joe biden. In biden now at 50. 5 arizona, President Trump at 48. 1 in arizona. I want to take you through some of the tweets from the Trump Campaign yesterday when it comes to arizona. This is tim murtaugh, the Campaign Director of communications. He said President Trump got over 59 in the first Small Arizona vote dump yesterday evening just after 9 00. That was above the 57 pace he needed to surpass biden and to win in arizona. He said fox and the Associated Press made a hasty call in arizona, saying the president will still win. Five of the seven election decision organizations have not yet called arizona. He says fox and the ep should rescind their decisions. Another decision from steve cortez also saying that the arizona numbers point to a trump win in that state, saying lets go. The Associated Press yesterday putting out a story about why they decided to call arizona for biden. He was there explainer. Racesaid they called the at 2 50 a. M. Eastern on wednesday after a number of ballots cast statewide concluded there was not enough outstanding to allow trump to catch up with 80 of the expected vote count at the time. Ahead by five Percentage Points with a 130,000 vote lead over President Trump with 2. 6 million ballots counted. The remaining ballots left to be counted, including mailing votes in merrick only in Maricopa County, were not enough for trump to catch up with the former Vice President. Again, expecting more results out of arizona, 9 00 p. M. Tonight. We will see if there is any more movement in that state. Portland, aiana, supporter of President Trump. This is lee. Whenr when we talk about, you look at the map of the country, you see that the rural areas versus the urban areas, there is a distinct line how it is broken up, and the problem is, growing up in a rural area, you hear people saying, what do i have to gain . The thing is, where we are at, on these elections, what do we have to lose . A lot of us are Second Amendment supporters because we hunt, we fished, and we are into things like that. We are drawn between this decision of who we are going to vote for according to how our lifestyles are, and the way it is in indiana, it is a pretty republicancontrolled type state. But we dont have enough electoral votes to make any difference. So from what i am seeing from here on out, the big cities are going to be controlling basically everything that we do from here on out because we cannot get enough electoral votes in the rural areas to compensate for the big cities. So it is going to affect our lifestyles and the way everybody lives in the rural areas. Host do you think that is enough of an incentive for maybe you and people who live in the rural areas to not participate in the process overall . Caller it almost makes you feel like you are wasting your time. In indiana and even ohio, where i am only about six miles from the state line, they are painting water towers for trump. There are big parades and all kind of stuff. But we feel like we are not getting anywhere because of the population of the big cities, and my wife, she lost her job to nafta. When you Start Talking about a lot of these policies, overseas trade and stuff like that, we have seen a lot of that effect in our area. Where the jobs move out because they are allowed to do that. That is why we support trump. It is not what we can gain, it is what do we have to lose. If we lose our way of life. I wanted to put that two cents in. So i wish that people when they vote and stuff would think what they are taking away from peoples lives, not just what they can gain from it. Host that is lee expressing some of the issues around the support of President Trump. A supporter of joe biden in South Carolina, clarice, hello. Caller how are you . Thank you for taking my call. I just want to say that i support biden and i think that we need to get trump out of the chair because he dont care about the coronas. You have more to lose than gain with trump. Making America Great again . Crap. No matter where our race and religion is host are you there . Caller yes. I just feel like the rioting and stop the vote and all that is nonsense. We just need to leave it in gods hands and let the vote go on then having all the riots and the protests going on. It is ridiculous. Host john mcardle show you some of those events taking place across the United States about vote counts and people expressing their protest to it or at least what is going on. You heard from Rudy Giuliani before about those things, and again if you want to check those things out, go to our website, cspan. Org, for the response not only from the Trump Campaign but also the biden campaign, when it comes to the current process of vote tabulation occurring in the states that are left to go in determining who will sit in the white house and other key races there, too. Albuquerque, new mexico, a supporter of President Trump. This is richard. Hi. Caller can you hear me . Host i can. Caller check this out. Dont hang up on me because i have something to say. During President Trumps administration, all of you guys were very, very barbaric. All of you guys mistreated him. You guys did not let him do his job. You reporters on the liberal side really condemned that man and did not give him a chance. We did no such thing. I will finish. We did no search thing, but go ahead we share thoughts. Caller every time you did the bias on your station, you did not bring up the stimulus. For w the stimulus people wanted to give money, somebody else, they had nothing to do with this tubeless. With the stimulus will have you guys are nothing but a bunch of our barons. Leave you there because that is absolutely not true. Biden, supporter of joe from michigan, your next. Caller im sorry about that other guy. It is like what you said yesterday. You were talking to republicans and asking why trump, and none of them could give you a good reason. I remember that. Host some of them in the front reasons forhe donald trump, but that wasnt everybody yesterday. Caller i am a biden supporter. Technically right now we dont know right now where we stand because trump could still win, although we are kind of ahead. But the possibility is that trump could still stand. , you know, hes going to get money from big corporations. Make them pair their fair share pay their fair share, and i think that is great because i have had documentation where i tapped, the institution of taxation and fairbury 5, 2y on largest profitts in 2018, 845 million, netflix, in which he did not pay a dime of federal or state income tax. The corporation reported a 22 milliondollar federal income tax rebate. Host is that a key reason youre supporting joe biden, the tax policy . Caller i really dont feel like i should be paying more in taxes than fortune 500 companies. That is one of the reasons. That reasons are, i know he made those comments regarding veterans, and i am a veteran. And for him to call me a loser or a sucker does not stick with me. Joel in michigan. We go to robert in tampa, florida, a supporter of President Trump. Caller hi, pedro, thank you for taking my call. The reason im calling is that i think how they treated trump the first 3. 5 years of his administration was unfair. He is not a perfect man by no means, but compared to the last eight years we had with obama and biden, telling us that the jobs that left our country will never come back, so we all got to start getting used to working parttime. He brought a lot of the jobs back. And gave us hope so that we could support our families, pay our bills, and live decent lives. Im just worried now that biden gets in there, he is going to destroy the trade deal with china and possibly give china a better trade deal, and we will lose more of our jobs. I just think it is a shame. I mean, i am for the american way in voting and stuff like that. That america is going to go backwards when it comes to its economic policies, and that is going to affect the common day worker like myself. Host do you work in an industry that is directly impacted by trade daca you mentioned china. By trade . You mentioned china. Constructionk in and a lot of the materials are made cheaper than u. S. Materials, but the quality is just not there in the material. They are at the low end of quality. It is going to affect the manufacturing in this country. Another thing, i just wanted to was on trumpybody about impeachment and everything like that, which a lot of it came out to be not true. So now that they have all this information on biden about china and of course ukraine, i think it is going to be time to give them a mirror image of what they did to trump. Host we will hear from another floridian, a supporter of joe biden. I was just curious i dont have a whole lot of problems with trumps policies and things hes trying to do. Some things are good. The thing i was curious about is , why are these people not concerned with the type of person he is . Not concerned with our presidency looks . When he tried to open up schools for taking classes, they werent even really a school. When he was running his charity in new york and he had to pay that fine and could never have a charity again. It looked like he was having a picture painted of himself that he was buying the picture himself through his charity just to launder money. How they couldto feel he is such a great businessman when he had bankruptcy seven times. Money that they could not afford to allow him to go under. Host why are you supporting joe biden . Thing hats another i dont really support drove Biden Joe Biden as much as id like to because of the crime things with him. People with great need of medicare, food stamps, Different Things the democratic to keep alive. The Republican Party wants to kill those different departments. Me, i understand there is a lot of fraud, a lot of things gone wrong. There are people who actually do need those things. You are kill it, killing those people as well. These are people who worked half of their lives and all of a sudden they need help. Floridaat is robbie in calling in about the current president , his support or reason for voting for joe biden. Issuet to follow up on an some of our callers particularly those who support joe biden have brought up when it comes to the u. S. Postal service. Concerns about delivery of mailin ballots. This story from usa today. A federal judge upgraded lawyers after the agency failed to make its election day order for postal inspectors to sweet Mail Processing facilities in more than a dozen states. Sullivanjudge emmet said he was shocked to learn that some and crucial battleground states of florida, arizona, texas, wisconsin, pennsylvania, had not been searched. Leaving authorities unavailable to determine if all ballots had been delivered. It leaves a bad taste in everyones mouth. To governmentthat lawyers. I will not forget it, either. Sullivan later adjourned the hearing and summoned the usps executive in charge of alexion Mail Processing to appear in court to explain why his order was disregarded. Y. T story from usa toda several democratic members of congress tweeting about their concerns with usps and post master general louis dejoy. Sayinggresswoman postmaster general complete lack of urgency and care with uncounted mailin ballots is his most egregious action to date. Every american has a right to have their vote counted. This from senator jeff merkley of oregon. The court must order did joy to turn over all ballots. Political hacks are able to establish sabotage the peoples right to vote. That is exactly what he has done. One last one from the democratic congressman from new jersey. Saying hall louis dejoy in front of a criminal grand jury as he criminal for his grand jury for his attempt to sabotage the election. This is mark, a supporter of President Trump. Think itirst of all, i shouldnt be illegal for anybody to take money in a situation where you could be in power. Obviously there is a conflict of interest. Everybody should get to vote. Every vote should be counted. Even if we start a year early, why not do it that way . That way everything is counted. No one is being persuaded. There is an propaganda all over the tv. By what thejust go television tells them. Host you are breaking up, i apologize. If you are still there, go ahead and finish your thought. Caller i just hope all the people could come together. There is just too much propaganda. Nobody knows what to do anymore. Winter springs, this is jay, a supporter of the president. Caller a couple of things, first of all i think it is shameful that the questionable risk of the laptop that came out in the last month or so was swept under the rug by the media. In that context, when we look forward to the biden presidency i am a trump supporter. Im not very confident at this point. We know we will reenter the paris accord. Have significant regulations on environments reimposed. That will have real Significant Impact on employment in the United States. As we go forward with the biden administration, lets consider other things that may be changes in policy that would suggest the chinese may have undue influence on the biden administration. On ourt being the effect trade challenges with china and the strict impositions that the Trump Administration has imposed. It has been to our advantage with tariffs and so forth. As those are used and we start seeing a warming relations with china it will be embraced by the Mainstream Media. We have to ask a real significant question. This isnt the context of chinas acquisition of the company in ohio that manufactures technology for automotive and defense. It is owned by china. Huawei. Ut four way trump are habited them from getting into 5g technology in the United States. He leveraged britain to not do any deals with china on huawei. If the chinese get a toehold on 5g on the United States, the risk to National Security just cant be overstated. Lets hear from dennis in irving, texas, a supporter of joe biden. Caller are you there . Host you are on, go ahead. Solution best start host we will go to claudia in new jersey. Supporter of President Trump. Caller yes, i am. This election im 84 years old. This election, ive never seen anything like this before. Many president ial elections. Feel theirst time i country is divided, half and half. , theres notin going to be any form of america ever again. Im very religious. I feel that whatever i say is coming from my heart. Countryieve that this is going to be going downhill and not uphill for the rest of my life. Worry so much about our children. What they have to look forward to. Host that is claudia in new jersey. You heard john talk about and we have been telling you the last couple days, several states being closely watched in the days past the election. North carolina being one of those states. We collected some of those from pages where people are watching. We will show them to you now as we take this next call from fairview, North Carolina. This is a supporter of joe biden, hello. Caller i have two points that i would like to make. The first one is the amount of disinformation that is circulating in the amount of people that believe things that arent true. How could the country reestablish a baseline of truth. There are no alternative acts. Many people believe things and support things that are based on completely false information. That is the biggest threat to democracy right now. Anthony, tampa florida, supporter of President Trump right now. Wanted to talk about biden having signs of dementia and when the Mainstream Media would post about his rallies and meetings. 20 people at have his meetings. Nobody would show up. Seecould hear about it and he doesnt know where he is at. He doesnt know anything. Did the Mainstream Media never post that or show that . He has dementia and they dont put that. Nobody showed up to his rallies. Convention. There was a bunch of things. Trump has rallies all over the place, record numbers. Ll of a sudden biden wins china obviously wants biden to win. Hoax. Ade this russia when have you bought anything made in russia. It is more china than russia. Next, this carolina is angela. I dont thing anybody is cheating. If you lose, take it like a man. One of those people commenting yesterday on the vote count and the president ial race is senator Mitch Mcconnell. He won reelection back to the senate in kentucky. Whether he is the Senate Majority leader as he currently is or the senator minority leader is still to be determined. One of the things he talked about was people and their vote. How people in individual states are responsible for electing the president. Sen. Mcconnell i dont engage in randomized creations about those comments. I could give you my point of view. Think this underscores the beauty of the Electoral College. Everybodys always taking shots at the Electoral College. Imagine if you did not have the Electoral College. If you had a close election in the popular vote count. When with the litigation ever stop . The Electoral College guarantees you have finality in 50 separate places. You get to a final outcome. We saw under the electoral 2000, a close election in one state created a five week challenge to get the goreme in the bush versus decision. We ought to be grateful for the Electoral College in a close president ial election like this. There will be finale reached in 50 separate places. It may take a while for the voting to finish. Both sides will probably be lawyered up if it is a close election. It has happened before and could happen this time. Roger in South Carolina, supporter of President Trump. Caller i just wanted to call in trump they were going to impeach him over a little thing. Joe biden actually stood up on national tv and used taxpayers money for his own game for his son not to lose his job. Biden tried to run for president before. He has done so many crooked things. I want to know where hes going to get the money for 15 an hour. Im on Social Security. Somebody needs to do something. Trump did help us. The prices did come down. Nobody thinks about the people. N Social Security it does not matter to them. It doesnt matter if we have a crooked politician that will use taxpayer money for their own gain. , nancy pelosiht can pull out the 25th amendment. Joe biden is not capable of standing up to these leaders like trump has. In southt is roger carolina. We will go to louisiana. We will hear from missy, a supporter of joe biden. I have something to say. Going to, im not sound completely against trump. Have with mr. At i trump is our immigration policy. Familyfrom a hispanic that has had immigration problems ourselves. It upsets me to see the family separated. He never lied or had any intentions of lying about his actions or goals of getting an office. Things topromised this country that he could not stand up to. Mexico is going to pay for the wall. Countryd you tell our falsities knowing that is not going to happen. War before such actions could take place. Coming from a hispanic family, a mexican family. The muslims are not wanted. The mexicans are not wanted. We never hurt anyone. Immigration is a big problem in our country. This is the problem our country has had since backing kennedy. Not one man could change the whole system. There needs to be a change in our immigration policy to get the government under control. Host when it comes to immigration policy, do you have a case for joe biden as far as immigration policy . He says he has made comments about reforming it and trying to help such as obama did. One man cannot do it. The democrat said yes, the republican said no, things of that nature. Host what would you like joe biden specifically to do about it then . Caller i think joe biden would. Elp our country people could become legal. Trump is very antiimmigration. That is misty in louisiana. People are calling in as we rate for his wait for results to happen. With that, we go back to john mcardle. We are waiting for results to come in. We are waiting for more results to come in this morning out of georgia, out of nevada and later this evening from nevada as well. As we continue to wait for those results, a couple other issues up with theeep numbers of those speaking seeking unemployment. They fell to 751,000. Still a historically high level. Many employers keep cutting jobs. Surge in viral cases and congresss failure to provide more aid to struggling individuals and businesses. Back in march, before the virus struck weekly figures had remained below 300,000 for more than five straight years. When it comes to coronavirus cases a grim milestone. The u. S. Reached that milestone of surpassing 100,000 new confirmed cases. The record of 102,831 cases reported by Johns Hopkins set just two days ago. 1097 covid19 deaths. The latest numbers part of a new spike in infections around the country. A related story on that. This from the wall street journal. The surgeon covid19 cases and the stockpiling of n95 masks have put strains on the supply on protective gear for manufacturers and Health Care Professionals are concerned. Nearly two thirds of Health Systems reporting less than a three week supply. In new mexico, official said last week nearly 90 of hospitals there were reusing n95 new cases have risen. In wyoming, Health Department officials said hospitals there could revert to emergency reuse of n95 masks and hospitalizations even further. That story in the wall street journal today. Host in east hampton, new york, a supporter of President Trump. Hello. I wanted to say i dont think anybody has a monopoly on corruption, hypocrisy, things like that. It is on both sides. I was listening to a lady today who said she just wants the baseline for truth. People lose sight of it in this country. We do have a baseline for truth, it is called the transportation. Challenges of the that will result from this it is good that because things are evolving, they are beto orourke better on some level. Counted. Le are getting we are making changes on the fly. Instead of using the legislative process, the courts are making decisions. This is the reason why these things are being challenged. Attributeat wants to this is doing a disservice to the voter population. Host are you challenging the things the president is seeing . Caller im questioning the reason why people are emphasizing why challenges are being made. Attack going to attach some sort of nefarious reasons for this being challenged. The constitutional challenges of what is happening. Rules thatnging the have been established for long periods of time. You have to do it properly. Bush, look at gore versus the whole thing was you have courts making decisions. Rules for counting votes. If legislators dont make the changes, it is not a constitutional act. That is the basis of the challenge here. Host we ultimately saw the Supreme Court take on this case. They had to hear the case to keep the state Supreme Court in check. Rules outsideng the legislator. Voidstarted to fill the werent making them be changed. The Supreme Court was making rules on the fly. Michael in go to ohio, a supporter of joe biden. First of all, i will be careful what i say. Thing. The im so confused right now. Im absolutely confused. Maxine waters, i am with you. Demi lovato i am with you. I dont understand it.

They get all of their supplies from a local lumber company. A local steel company. Rom local hardware from local glass sources. That product more expensive. They have a fighting chance putting policies into place where we cannot get the same thing for halfprice from china. Saidw the prior caller your 401 k s are going up. Our 401 k s are going up.

Epublicans trying to claw back viewers may remember that two years ago republicans lost seven seats out in california. A 467re down to democrat to republican seat threshold in the house when it came to that delegation. A lot of work republicans needed to do to start clawing back.

Affirmation ofan the work i am doing in washington to fight hard every day. Is more to that. If you want to go to the website you could do so at cspan. Org. Others,e who supported is that number. We will hear from eddie on that line. I was in a biden supporter, i wasnt a trump supporter. Whoever wins the election needs to get america back. They have closed our churches down. They have taken god out of government. Not democrats, we are not republicans. We are americans. We need to get that message back to america. These people in congress have been in congress for years. They lived through the years we have been facing. They know what this country needs. Use the efforts to get america back to greatness. 2016 i like the idea of make America Great again. We went to recessions, depressions, ups and downs last 58 years. I didnt like the idea of trump saying soldiers are suckers. We served our country because we beloved our country. Whoever enters the white house, i hope to god that day turned their heart towards the lord and they bring america back to greatness. Host that was eddie in tennessee. Butch, in florida. Hello. I was a registered republican. Ivoted for joe biden because didnt believe the policies President Trump was trying to push down our throats. Plus i didnt like his tweeting. My wife and i have 43 years of military service together. We did that to defend the rights of all citizens of the United States. The right to protest, vote, all other tools the constitution gives the American People. People to give the system time to work. If you dont agree with the system, you could make your Court Appearances and whatever other legal means you have to justify your opposition to the vote. Host what policies of joe biden do you support . His tax reform is getting you America United getting America United again. Host when you say tax reform, you mean what . Upperclass,nk the the superrich are getting a great tax break. The middleclass and low class is carrying the majority of the burden of taxes. Int lets go to marianne connecticut. A supporter of President Trump. Caller i dont know if people realize this but i research everything. If people had research the biden and Bernie Sanders agreement, i dont think they wouldve voted for joe biden. We are in so much trouble. I dont think you will be president very long. Small harris will take it over. They are going after guns. They are digging into Social Security. They will be supporting Illegal Immigrants with our money. They will take your land. It took me two days. Our country is doomed. China will blackmail joe biden. I read all of those papers. Trump never called military that. That was made up by the media. We are in so much trouble if joe biden gets into office. Goes, dont bet on joe biden bringing god back into this country. They are already starting to take it away. This is bruce, hello. Im a supporter obviously of biden. One, i couldnt imagine how somebody could vote for trump. Extraordinary, the amount of lying. It is documented. Have is delusion. You have to have discernment. There has to be a certain process you go to arrive at the truth and think out. Everything i have seen in trump. His character is horrible. His bankruptcy record is incredible. Speaks to living in some form of debt always. His own words. Specifically, why do you support joe biden . Caller i like his character, i like his human being. Whenever possible he will try to get a solution. He will delegate. Makes a mistake, he will admit. He will try to find solutions. Smartestm the this, smarter than the generals. If you look at the amount of people that have negated him and have gone against him. The Lincoln Project people, all former republicans. Queens andback from watch the people suffer from his business processes. Host that is bruce in florida. Lets go to virginia. Caller i was just wondering why they were only counting Fairfax County and not the entire state. All the other states are closing windows up. Only democrats have been able to count instead of democrats and republicans. Host ernestine is next in North Carolina. Caller i have tears in my eyes. What trumpsieve people are saying. Lord have mercy. Schools ithe has to be done his way or no way. All the killing of black men and some whites, it is terrible. I dont see what they are seeing. What kind of people are they . My nerves have gotten so bad since trump has been in the chair. The way he talks to people. This is not a game. Host finish your thought, go ahead. Is closing down the government when he cannot have his way. Host we will go back to john mcardle. And tweetingmp up this morning. The president with a three word tweet, stop the count. No reference to any specific state. We will be hearing more. This announcement from the Trump Campaign. President trump will be making a major announcement in las vegas, nevada today and will be joined by several supporters there. That will be happening at 11 30 a. M. Eastern time. Votes topecting more be counted and released at noon eastern time in nevada. You have given me some homework earlier. Pelosisibility of nancy becoming president if this election is not decided. I wanted to get back to you about that. This information stemming from this story from nbc news. They wrote a story about this potential idea after back in august President Trump noted that he said there was a theory that nancy pelosi could be president if the race isnt decided by the end of the year. They said that is not exactly true. If there is no Electoral College , the house could choose who is president with each state with each state delegation getting a vote in his process. The center gets to decide to fight Vice President if it comes to that. If congress is unable to choose the winners by then, the president ial succession act would take in. First in line to serve as acting president is the house speaker, nancy pelosi. Followed by chuck grassley, followed by members of the cabinet. Nbc notes they may be reluctant to accept that role because they would be required to resign from congress to take deposition and can only serve in that position until Congress Finally decides who the president will be. That trump way scenario could unfold by the end of the calendar year and pelosi could not become acting president until january 20. All extremely unlikely. Host thank you for bringing that up. To the caller who made the suggestion, we thank you for that as well. A couple of things to keep in mind as you watch cspan throughout the day. Expected press conference there in georgia with the secretary of state. In pennsylvania, the Wolf Administration holding a press conference holding an update. You could watch them live on our them on ourll see website at cspan. Org. Elizabeth is in somerville, massachusetts. Good morning. Im a supporter of President Trump. What i find with biden is that , youse of hunter, his son knew about his sons dealings with china. In, i feelould get jobs,will take all of our manufacturers, trump has already this. Lished they will run away like the plague. Trumps fault. Host did you vote for the president in 2016 . Caller i did. Host what specifically made you vote for him this time around . Caller he hasnt been being paid. Hes not taking any money for this job. I felt right about it. Jonesboro, indiana, richard is next. A supporter of joe biden. Caller 2016i was hoping trump would give it and become a president ial but he never did. Every year he got worse. Host did you vote for him in 2016 . Caller i did not. It was just awful. The two things that are the worst are the racism and taxes. I pay more taxes than amazon, netflix, i pay more taxes than donald trump. I do ecommerce on ebay. I pay thousands of dollars. I dont have a 401 k . The lady in North Carolina crying, you have to feel her pain america. We have to come together. Host what is it about joe biden that you spoke support specifically . Caller he was the first black s Vice President. He went through all kinds of scruples and whatnot. He went through all of that with obama. All the is evil and trump is the best ever. You are the richest guy ever. This laptop is his fault. In thee will go to frank new york. Caller rter of president i have heard all of these stories and it is garbage. Trump never said anything about the military. This is the greatest president we ever had. Every american should be proud. I grew up in the 60s in the bronx. 1971, the cops went in and kicked but. Or 1972, there has been no racial problems. Took over as president for joe biden. Joe biden is so corrupt. Him . Ould you appoint host tell me why you are supporting President Trump specifically . Lie. R give me a specific as far as that caller that said that he paid 750 last year, do you know why . He didnt make any money. Hes giving away his salary. Thats why his tax returns are that. The other years he was paying hundreds of millions of dollars. Thats why trump wont give his taxes. What does taxes have to do with being the president . Not a damn thing. George washington never gave taxes. Thomas jefferson never gave taxes. Caller first, it is good to finally be in georgia and the vote actually means something. It is great to even see it this close. I am a supplied it a supporter of biden. Dont how people could be confused about this. Trump gives his check for the presidency every quarter and then he turns around and gives himself a cash cut the first day tax cut the first day he walks in office. He is giving himself more money with his left hand then he is giving from his right hand. The best thing going today host why are you a supporter of joe biden . Caller like the man said earlier, he was the first Vice President to barack obama. That is a humbling task. Today is how feels people felt four years ago. We knew this. Fallact that people will into conspiracy theories and not realize this and just call it for what it is, it hurts. Now you see people in the streets, it is toxic out here. That is charlie in columbus, georgia. Aat is where tony is, he is supporter of President Trump. Caller black lives cant matter until all lives matter. I just want to throw that in there. Im a supporter of trump because he was a rich man when he came into office and she has benefited us by his trade agreements. Im just a supporter. Every vote counts. Host how is the trade agreement benefited you . By the jobs. The things he has done to bring money back to our communities. Those china,g mexico, whoever come in here with their cutprice products. To lower our wages. We compete with them. That is every person in the United States. Host in utah, a supporter of joe biden, this is scott. Ive got two reallife situations in my life. Valve andd aortic obamacare literally saved my life because i could not work. Biden will get health care. ,ecause of my heart situation im making 9. 50 an hour. I found out through watching the that the republican stronghold in grand rapids, is the reason i am making 9. 50 an hour. Obama biden, Bernie Sanders, they will get the minimum wage to 15 an hour. That will help the middle class. Trump was running around without a mask. That is the reason covid has spread like it has. Next inlly is bluefield, west virginia. A supporter of President Trump. Voted for trump in 2016. Democrats are eyesng one over peoples with Free College Tuition and no student debt. Everything else is free. The American People need to all going towe are pay for it. I still felt his policies with with the pro life. Christiane how any could vote for trump. The democrats are pushing the abortion agenda. Host what is it about immigration that makes it a top issue . Caller i think there should be Legal Immigration only. We cant support the whole rest of the world coming into the country and giving them free this or free that when there is kids in the United States that are starving or going hungry every night. Host weve got about a halfhour to go in this program for you to give your thoughts on the current state of the election. There is how you could do that. Support88000 if you joe biden and Kamala Harris. 202 7488001 if you support the president. For those who supported other candidates. The various social Media Channels you could post on. You can also text us at 202 3. 88002 michelle, from missouri, a supporter of joe biden. Caller ive been listening to your show for quite a while. I tried very hard not to get involved in misinformation. Especially when you have conversations with neighbors and loved ones. I tried to do research because of the Conspiracy Theory that are going around. I am a supporter of joe biden. I do believe the dark money needs to be out of our politics, the corruption is to a limit that is unacceptable. Stuff want to stir up with hunter biden when you have got a ivanka trump, all of her stuff is made in china, and she is working in the white house. You have trump who has trump towers in many different countries, and you have foreign hotels,taying at his and that goes to the trump organization. Also when he goes to maralago, who pays for that . He has secret service, i mean, theres so many people in the background you dont even see. All of is going into the trump organization. Why do youfically, support joe biden and his candidacy . Caller i believe in health care for all. I am not going to tell people what to do because i am a hardworking american. Understand they like their private insurance and if they like their private insurance, thats great. If you dont like obamacare, dont take it. But there are a lot of people out there who need it and we need to start working, we have a Good Foundation and we need to work upon that. That is the think current plan for joe biden to expand medicare or expand health care . Is that sustainable . Caller i think that is a very Good Building block. Instead of getting on twitter and screaming and hollering, it is time to get to work. It is time to get to work for the American People. It is time to get somebody who knows what they are doing and can at least start trying to bring people together. Host that is michelle in thoughts onting her the Current Administration and her support for joe biden. Just a little less than a half hour to go for this program. We will stop for information breaks along the way. Just updating viewers on the latest when it comes to the senate battlefield, take a look at the map, the races that are still outstanding. Quattro in the senate, North Carolina and alaska, does go in georgia. The race for david purdues seat, and then the special tryingn, Kelly Loeffler to hold onto her seat that she was appointed to when she replaced johnny isakson. I want to start with the regular election in georgia, senator david purdue leading at 50. 0 against the democrat. Note that 50 figure. If it falls any lower for david will haven ossoff force a runoff that will take place on january 5. The special election in georgia is already headed to a runoff, that Kelly Loeffler race that we she will be, against the democratic pastor who will be facing her in that january 5 special election. Andhe regular Election Special election takes place on the same day, if the runoff takes place on the same day, it could be a very big day in georgia for those who are watching the senate, especially if other margins hold in senate races, that could be the key to determining which Party Controls the senate for the next two years. Also, i want to run through those of the that we are talking about in North Carolina. Thom tillis remains ahead in his race against democrat cal cunningham. And then alaska is the other race that we are waiting on. Just 53 of the vote counted in alaska, the republican senator is ahead 62. 3 to independent ak l gross. Interesting story in axes s about what could happen if republicans do old the senate and joe biden does win the presidency, noting that republicans would likely be forcing joe bidens Transition Team to consider limiting its prospective cabinet nominations to the suit Mitch Mcconnell could live with, according to people familiar with the matter. The new map, they write, could dash the ambitions of some democrats including those who have clashed with republicans in the past, noting it could push biden to go with more eccentric options. It could also open up pants for thers to get benefit from tradition of senatorial courtesy for a swift confirmation of nominees. A source close to mcconnell tells axios the Republican Senate would work with biden on centrist nominees that no radical progressives or once your controversial but conservatives. The biden agenda, they write, would be severely restricted by gop control. Going to the armed camps when it comes to the Senate Confirming the cabinet appointments of a potential biden administration. Another potential storyline to watch for. First, we have to get campaign 2020 sorted out. You heard talk about the senate and the house, talking about the gains that republicans made on that front. Kevin mccarthy yesterday talking about those gains and what goes forward. Monumentalt trumps house has expanded the House Republican coalition. From miami to minnesota to california, from every single pundit, even from the cook the number ofng losses republicans would have, or if you listen to speaker leader,r the majority they all said it was double digits. Even 15 this week alone that they would win. They were all wrong. Is Still Barely Holding on to her own seat. So here is a fact to be proud of. As of right now, we have seven gop pickups. We also have 11 outstanding races that i feel very confident will continue to grow and win. We like we will likely have an additional 1419 republican women. This will break the record for the most republican women coming in at any one time, we will double the number, set a record for the most women ever in the Republican Party. We will likely be adding 69 minorities from florida to new mexico to texas, to oklahoma to california. Im also proud of our candidate and our members and i especially want to thank our nrc chair. Not only did he win almost special elections throughout the year, remember, before we went into the election last night, at the time, we had more republicans and fewer democrats and we just continued to add to it. I further from month i effort from months from the pollsters and the media how republicans were going to lose more seats. We expanded this party. It reflects america, it looks like america. I thank the rejection that we saw last night from the , who said america does not want to be a socialist nation. I think the other rejection that we saw, we watched the democrats promise that they would be given the power to have the majority, that it would act different, that they would solve problems, and they wasted their majority. We look forward to continuing to work for the american public, our commitment to america that we will renew, rebuild, and restore this nation. That is what our commitment is and what our commitment will be. I dont know what will happen in the democratic conference, i know the vote on the floor is difficult for speaker. I know there were a number of people who did not vote for her last time and as our numbers continue to grow, at the end of the day, no matter where we end up, we will be able to read a very big say or even run the floor when it comes to policy. Host josh, supporter of President Trump. Caller i and a huge supporter of President Trump just because he is a peoples president. Did not have any political any political experience when he came in. State,in a democratic our governor cant even make up her mind what she is going to do and i just. Im not a big fan party justcratic because of all the socialism that has been going on, or trying to go one. Think President Trump has done everything he said he is going to do. That aret say things good with some people, but that is the problem i think america has right now, everybody gets offended by everything. Host what do you think the president s most important compliment was . Caller i believe that the border patrol, keeping our borders safe from everybody is a very big accomplishment. Most of our immigration problems are coming and ihe southern borders, think that is probably a true statement. Uh. I believe that he tell the truth, he doesnt try to pull eyes. Ol over anybodys joe biden has had eight years as Vice President where he did virtually nothing. And that is where i am at. Host mike in iowa, a supporter of joe biden, youre next. Caller hi. A lot of paranoia out there, huh . Becausesupport biden there is just so much of what i would call terrorism. Im sorry, i didnt hear you. Host i didnt say anything. Becausei support biden there is just too much anger being produced by this president. I want to kind of get away from the paranoia parts. I want to kind of focus on what and if weout abortion have a law that says that if you then you go to, prison for life, then i think rape should also be prison for life because you are moving somebody, you are making them do something that they dont want to do. Host johnny in maryland, supporter of President Trump, hello. Ive actually been a democrat my whole life, i switched republican a couple years ago, and i support trump. Being a black man in the state of maryland, and in the whole i president has done so much for this country. For everyone who says because you are certain race you should vote for a president , that doesnt make any sense. I have been in the construction trade. Howve also seen out here President Trump has tried to keep our borders safe. That he doesnt want anybody in the country, but he wants you to be here legally. If you go to any home depot or a lot of small rural areas, low income areas, these places are pretty much being overrun by people that are crossing the border illegally. Said, you look at what is going on with covi d, people are not doing the math. In maryland, there are over 6,400,000 people alone. The numbers are not reflect what they are saying with coded and how that is our president s fault. The first thing, he shut down the borders and the republicans are saying no, you are doing the wrong thing, and he shut it down anyway. That is one reason why i support him. Numbers, if do the you look at the state of maryland alone, that is less than 1 of people who have died. More people die every year of the flu. The numbers are not reflecting it. Become covid political . It was to shut down the president of the United States, to quiet his voice. They cut him off on the microphone whenever he wanted to speak. If you look at four years ago from when we had the elections, everyone wanted to keep their voice and stuff like that, President Trump was on the front lines of this. Covid didhing is shut him down this election. Host that is johnny in maryland giving his thoughts on support for President Trump. We go back to john mcardle. John before we get into the 10 00 a. M. Hour, i want to bring viewers uptodate on what to today, timing of various events in washington and around the country when it comes to election 2020, just some situational awareness. First, a longtime reporter, here is what to expect on vote counts this morning. Bringing more updates from georgia and pennsylvania. The more votes around 12 00 noon, eastern time. Arizona not expected until 9 00 p. M. Eastern time. The georgiarning, secretary of state will give an , we aren vote counts taking that on cspan, you can watch that live.

We found out this morning, the Trump Campaign holding an event in nevada at 11 30 a. M. Eastern a 30 a. M. Out in nevada 8 30 a. M. Out in nevada. Just about a halfhour hour or so before we are expecting more results. That is all happening this morning and early this afternoon. In by the way, the house is today, there will be a precession taking place at 10 30 eastern this morning. Missouri, this, is from linda, a supporter of joe biden. Hello. Caller good morning, thank you. I have always thought that the president should be a role model to the young people of the country. Thathen i look and see donald trump has made bullying, lying, namecalling, he has made all of that acceptable to the people. People do nothing but lie anymore and they accept allies. The lies. Donald trump want to do the president to fulfill his fresno bucket list, not for what he wanted to do his personal bucket list. He has made a fool out of our country. They laugh at us, they cant take donald trump at his word because he is a liar. Host as far as your support for joe biden, what would you clarify that as . Caller people complain that biden has not done anything for 47 years in government. Biden wasnt president , he was Vice President. Tell me what has pence done . He hasnt done anything. Senator, he did a lot of work. All of the other senators got along with him. I just dont understand why people would want donald trump to be a president. Washington,in michigan, supporter of trump, hello. Caller hello. I am calling in regards to michigan. I am from the Washington Township area and i noticed when you go back and look at the state of michigan, 90 of michigan is roughly trumpsupported. I know that it goes by population, but most of the population still counts votes from detroit. A 50 ofwant is detroiters do not live in detroit. It is a ghost town most of the time, they just work there, they go into the suburban areas and what have you. So, how did the population of detroit declare a win for biden . The socalled absentee votes that came in at 3 00 a. M. , how is that possible . Not evenisconsin, necessarily the state of michigan. 70 of wisconsin is red. My question to not you, but the coanchor that you speak to, how do they come up with the numbers in regards to biden winning both of those states . We will see if we can give you some type of clarity on that before the show was done. We only have about 12 minutes left. Alabama, birmingham, a supporter of joe biden. Caller yes, good morning. I want to say i ensue, so sad and discussed it in america right now. T is so sad it breaks my heart. The young lady that called from North Carolina who was about to cry on tv. Im beingmy heart real in my spirit right now because i am disgusted. I am sick of racism in america. Black people have suffered in this country. We built america. Lewis, we love this country, but when is america going to love us . Muchd trump has been so racism, white supremacy, and hatred in america. Some white people have failed come on, woman. Detroit is the biggest electoral area in michigan. The biggest vote is going to come out of their and black people dominate that area. Our people died for the right to vote in this country, we are sick and tired of being sick and tired in america. Host exactly why are you supporting joe biden . Caller it is not white people. Host why are you supporting joe biden . Because i want decency. Because he is talking about rolling back the trump tax cuts that wealthy people are getting. I didnt see anything in my taxes. We are retirees. We didnt get any bump in our income. Im also supporting joe biden because i believe in climate change, because i believe in, let harris. I want civil rights in this country reinstated. He removed the civil rights. Come on. We understand what is going on. Host we will from sailing, missouri, a supporter of trump, this is elizabeth. State firstnt to that i am an american housewife, i have always voted straight democrat, i am a christian. Obamarst time i voted for i was glad to see a black man in the white house. I was proud for them that night, i was disgusted four years later. I went red on the ticket. I do not agree with President Trumps attitude sometimes or some of the words that he uses but then again, he is not a silver tongue orator politician. I have mixed race in my family. I donot racist, and believe that we do need something other than a white man in the white house. I would like to see a lady president one day, however, Hillary Clinton is not a lady for the job. Good luck to the biden party if they make it. I will tell you one thing, Trump Supporters will not tear our our down, we will not loot buildings, we will not destroy our fellow americans by tearing them down with racist remarks. Host then why are you supporting President Trump . He has taken the white house and has stayed true to his word, thats why. I am working, my neighbors are working, and we are not in a depression, my family couldnt even live when obama was in the white house, it was a mess. Is an american, i am an american, and guess what . We are not out of work. Were working. Host ok. That is elizabeth and salem, missouri. To updatest wanted viewers on the latest when it comes to the electoral votes in the United States and those key senate battlegrounds. Joe biden leading the electoral vote count right now with 264 electoral votes. It takes 270 to win. Donald trump at 214 four votes, we are waiting on just a handful of key states including the keystone state of pennsylvania. The margin in pennsylvania is joet 100 thousand votes, biden with 48. 4 to Donald Trumps 50. 5 . There is still more than a 10 left to the 40 in pennsylvania. Heading to georgia this morning, togeorgia, trump has 49. 6 49. 2 for joe biden. We have seen those margins slim this morning, just about 18,000 vote difference in georgia to the tar heel state in North Carolina. The thomahead, that is Tillis Senate campaign. Trump ahead by a much more comfortable margin in North Carolina. Nevada, joe biden is ahead, 49. 3 to Donald Trumps 48. 7 . We are waiting for more results, more counting to start happening at about noon eastern, 9 00 a. M. Local time in nevada. Asking about the percentages in michigan and how we got to those percentages in michigan. The reason is because joe biden has 150,000 or so more votes in michigan at this point, about 2,787,000 votes for joe biden in michigan. Donald trump with 2,637,000 votes in michigan. Host thank you, sir. M florida, supporter of joe biden, go ahead. Caller yes, joe biden has qualifications to be president. Also, donald trump does not even know the constitution. Biden, he is interested in doing something trump, hed a donald has let people die. At least biden will try to work something out for all these people who are dying. In kansas, a supporter of trump, hello. Caller hello. I am a solid trump supporter. I was one of those people that voted for obama the first time. The second time, there was no way. Trump has done a lot for this country but i think a lot of politicians have forgotten with immigration, with getting rid of obamacare, with making sure we have jobs, with making sure we have money in our pockets. Host obamacare still exists, though. Caller we got rid of some of the fines. Those were big deals. I think biden is all about the politics, its all about keeping the big guy. I believe trump has fought for america. He is not a politician, he doesnt speak their language. But he is protecting our babies that are getting killed constantly, he is protecting our borders that are abusing our systems here. He is fighting for the rights of everybody. There is no racism under trump, that started under obama. The hate started under obama. I find it entertaining that they blame trump all of the hate and division, but this started on her last election when people started burning down and polluting and all the ridiculousness. There was no peaceful transfer to him, and now we have all of these suspicious activities going on with this election that are called conspiracy. By trump. I dont believe it when were sitting here watching ourselves. Host new jersey, a supporter of joe biden, your next, good morning. Caller good morning, thank you for taking my call. I wrote my point on a piece of paper so i will try to be clear and that been out. I am a supporter of biden because i think that he will bring healing to the hatred in america, but also i want to say why i dislike trump so much. When he was running in the campaign, he never condemned that mail bombberer. He said onrrorism, going to stop immigrants from seven countries to come over. 30 days have just said of a background check. We are the beacon of freedom and liberty around the world. For him to say that was bad. Host back to joe biden for a second. When you say he will heal the hatred, how, do you think . Charlottesville, when he said with the races and in charlottesville. Host how do you think joe biden is going to heal the hatred . Caller of course. Host why do you think that is . , he canhe is calm smooth the other politicians and heal america, i believe so. Host ok, that is in new jersey. And the last call for this program, we thank you for participating today and calling.
