At the bottom of the hour in about 30 minutes time. We will bring that to you live. Also this, Pennsylvania State officials are now getting criticized for predicting a trump loss. Also this story tonight. Demonstrators and Tea Party Protesters turning out in force to demonstrate against how the votes are being counted in pennsylvania, georgia, michigan, arizona and d. C. , also trump and biden protests are break out nationwide. Trump backers are converging on vote count centers in michigan and arizona. Well bring all of the ainge fulls tonight. This story, democrats are still shellshocked that the forecast of a blue wave victory were wrong. Democrats lost the senate. They lost, lost at least eight house seats. The push to out of speaker nancy pelosi. Is that a serious threat . As democrats now see their smallest House Majority in a generation. President trump boosted republicans down ballot while joe biden did not have the coat tales for democrats. Coattails. The surprise in the house pelosi will have to contend with. A secret weapon now have against her and democrats. This for you, New York Times, paul krugman, cnn analyst, and msnbc pundits are shocked that minorities voted for President Trump. So the debate, is 2020 also the year of the big rethink . Thank you for joining us. Im elizabeth macdonald. The evening edit starts right now. Elizabeth welcome to the show. Youre watching the fox business network. Joining me now is former wisconsin Governor Scott walker. It is great to see you, governor. One more state could put joe biden in the white house. White House Press SecretaryKayleigh Mcenany argues that trump still has a path to 270. It runs through pennsylvania, georgia, the final count georgia. Associated press and fox news called arizona for biden. He has 142,000 vote lead in pennsylvania. He needs to win nevada and North Carolina. He needs to run the table there. Can he do it . Yes, absolutely. I still think he can win in arizona. Ive been talking to doug ducey in arizona frequently. Look at margins in arizona, just the right percentages the president needs. There is no doubt in my mind he will win georgia. Certainly winning North Carolina. I think he has a shot in nevada. It comes down to the big 10 particularly in pennsylvania. That is exactly why many of the Democrat Officials dont want the public and certainly not the media looking in at this election process. We need transparency to make sure that theyre legitimately counting every ballot that was legally cast. You know, the state officials are saying that these are frivolous kinds of attacks from the Trump Campaign. That the votes are being properly counted, but, the republicans are saying no, theyre not. What are you hearing right now about that . Well, open it up. To me, exactly what you need to have is a transparent process not only for pennsylvania, not only for the world to see how we legitimate ily conduct an election. When you put plywood over windows. Open it up. Have a legitimate process. Let people see. Make sure every ballot legally cast is counted in this election. Not knows that may not be illegally cast. This should be a wide open process in arizona, pennsylvania for sure. Anywhere else that were waiting to count the ballots in. Elizabeth governor, you have, you know, the Trump Campaign has been demanding things like a recount in states like wisconsin. You have said that will not work. Why . I said its a high bar but they should prep, i would encourage them for a recount, wait until the canvas is done. By law in the state the canvass are done at the local level. They have 14 days from the election to conduct that. Then it goes all the way until december first until a statewide canvas is done before they certify the ballots. At that point we can see what the margin is. Today it is less than 1 but that still means out of the millions of votes cast, that is 21,000 votes. Weve seen a recounts before they make up typically hundreds, not thousands of those. Having said that though, the canvas years ago in the stat wide Supreme Court race in 2011 actually found 14,000 ballots that were in the included in the tally at the time of the election. So that is why it is important to wait out the canvas, prepare for a recount and see if it shakes out any of those sorts of errors. Should declare a winner in wisconsin. Elizabeth i hear what youre saying. You think that the 20,000 is a high bar it is not insurmountable because of what happened in the past. We hear you. Joe biden increasing his lead in nevada by a margin of 11,438 votes. Biden seen the lead drop to less than 69,000 votes basically. So that is what is happening there. President trump has about 9,000 vote lead in georgia. So when we, when we look what is going on with what the white house is saying about his path to victory, there are questions about what the white house is now saying. Lets listen Kayleigh Mcenany is basically saying that the president can get a solid performance in arizona. So, first take that on before we listen to Kayleigh Mcenany. What do you think . Yeah. Again talking to governor ducey, i rely on governors because he have this to be on top of things like this regardless of party, governor ducey talked about the ballots. First wave he talked about, what needed to happen, happened. You need about 6040 split on numbers coming in favor of the president. Weve seen that trend through the waves thus far. Why the margin is coming down with the remaining votes. There is still enough of a volume of votes that if that percentage continued the president in the end would be victorious in arizona which i have said all along is the key to his victory. You win those states in the south east, florida, georgia, North Carolina, you have got to win arizona and win one of the big 10 states, most likely now pennsylvania. Elizabeth lets watch the White House Press second Kayleigh Mcenany on this lets take a listen. At the end of the night last night we were pulling in 62 of the ballots in maricopa county, of election day voting. We only need about the 57. 7 to prevail in arizona. Elizabeth the push back on that is that the president has, the pushback on that the president has not done better than 50 in the past. That is the question, can he really hit that higher bar . He can and the first wave we saw since she made the comments, his team, the ballots are coming in around that percentage. I think he can get there. Remember for all the hype, hysteria, all predictions since election night, this was some of the same people nationally and media and elsewhere were predicting a major blowout a big blue wave. We would be over run the senate. The house was overwhelmingly democrat. Joe biden would win in a landslide. We would be well on our way towards the leftwingers packing the court, get being rid of the filibuster, getting rid of elector college. That did not happen. That is major victory for freedom loving people. I believe it is realistic to hold out hope the president can prevail. Elizabeth we talk about how people are really active in this election. 160 million turned out to vote. That is more than the populations of the United Kingdom and germany combined. Lets watch, lets watch the Trump Supporters and protests at arizona Voting Centers and Voting Centers elsewhere. Protesting the vote count in philly and also in detroit. Watch this. Four more years four more years four more years [shouting] no more counts. No more counts [inaudible conversations]. Behind me is detroit pcf center. This is where poll watchers are racing to try to count all the votes outstanding here in wayne county. By what we see here, is essentially an increasing moblike scene of selfproclaimed poll watchers who say they want to get access to the building. So many of them have rushed into the building here. Elizabeth okay. So you heard that, selfproclapped poll watchers. What is your reaction to all of what is going on the ground . Americans regardless where they come from, regardless of party, deserve to have a fair, transparent process. They deserve to see what is going on, not have that be hidden in the shadows. In a time america you had unbelievable turnout. New voters from those on the right as well as those on the left turning out to engage in the president ial election and some other elections down the ballot, dont turn them off, america. Dont turn them off voting in the future. Show we can do this out in the open, out in the daylight. Show that this can be done fairly and objectively. Were not seeing that in places like detroit, philadelphia right now where theyre shutting off access, not only to those in the campaigns but many in the media. Open the doors. Let people see what is going on. Elizabeth let on searchers come in. So absolutely. Let people see exactly what is going on. They are passionate. They love america. They want to see it. Okay. Governor scott walker, thanks for joining us. Thank you. Elizabeth coming up at the bottom of the hour well take you to the president is speaking at 6 30 or in and around that time. As soon as it happens well get you there live. Also next up, former independent counsel ken starr weighing in on whether the Trump Campaign blitz of lawsuits in the battleground will turn the race towards the president. Will they work.

Lets go right at it. Do you think the president s and Campaign Blitz of lawsuits in pennsylvania, michigan, nevada and georgia, will that turn the race toward trump . Will he win from that . Because he has a tall order. He has to run the table on a bunch of states in order to get back in the white house. What do you think . I think in fact, i know that the lawsuits are designed not to win the election. That has to come with legal voting but to make sure that this process, just as Governor Walker says, a vote counting is honest. That it is transparent and, let me give a very quick example n michigan an observer is a called a challenger and one of the lawsuits, one of the trump lawsuits is about the ability of a challenger to get in to see what is going on. Michigan takes that so seriously that if you intimidate or threaten a challenger, one of these observers, you can go to jail for two years. So lets have transparency just as Governor Walker wellsaid. Why are you not letting the sunshine in . It breeds suspicion. Im very fearful for the country. For the acceptance whatever happens in the election if there is not this assurance of transparency giving us integrity and the in the votecounting process. Elizabeth so far the Trump Campaign has won a pennsylvania ruling letting them view the vote count but, you know, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, state officials there are refusing to halt and stop what is going with counting the votes. Saying everything is proceeding in a normal fashion. So we have that story happening too. I mean were seeing half a dozen legal attacks in pennsylvania alone. You know, i would like to get to this, this is all because of a experimental mailin Voting System whose weaknesses were predicted way ahead of the time by barack obama in 2008. Said yeah, there is voter fraud in mailin ballots. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the former dnc chair said, there is problem with mailin ballots. The Postal Service warned that mailin voting could be problematic there are warning out there, ken, what do you think . Absolutely t was a huge policy call driven of course by cove vivid. Sometimes the policy implementation such as by the pennsylvania Governor Wolf and the Supreme Court were utterly unlawful. So that is yet to be there will be a reckoning in the fullness of time. In nevada the allegations i understand them, there are over 10,000 votes, these kinds of votes, write, mailin ballots from i ineligible lawyers. Adam lax assault, capable lawyer, said there were votes from dead people. It shows the need for checks and balances, this transparency. The Trump Campaign is not asking for new laws. It is asking enforcement of existing laws to insure honesty and integrity. Elizabeth what is the constitutional question the Supreme Court would address if this . Fact heads over to the Supreme Court . The president cant walk in there, Supreme Court justices deal with this. Right. Elizabeth there has to be a constitutional question. What is it . Usurp pages of legislative authority. Pennsylvania i think is skating on thin i. C. E. , because of what the governor and Supreme Court did. It is violation of the constitution to change the rules at the 11th hour. That is the key. The other thing not treating ballots equally. Having procedures in place that of course what was the famous, infamous florida litigation. What was the fundamental problem in bush v. Gore. Two. They were changing the law. The Election Officials were not following the law. Secondly, they were not consistent in counting of the ballots. Elizabeth we hear what youre saying. I mean the fight is, is that the state legislatures decide what is a valid ballot, not state courts. Justice roberts would disagree. They say, you know, elena kagan said that the courts decide what the state, how the state legislatures should apply the law there because this is, basically deciding who is an elector for the electoral college. I mean, you know, that seems where the dividing line is. It is going, it could very wellhead to the Supreme Court. Then Justice Barrett would be the fifth vote potentially deciding this. Who knows. Your final word, ken. She may be the sixth vote. He did not vote on the ultimate issue. He voted to deny a stay. That is not the final word. Elizabeth ken, appreciate it. You bet. Elizabeth next up former white House Press SecretaryAri Fleischer on this story, democrats pretty much shellshocked that the forecast of a blue wave victory were wrong. They didnt win the senate. And they lost at least eight house seats. Tonight this debate. Is there a serious push to out of House Speaker nancy pelosi . Is that a serious threat . As democrats now see their smallest House Majority in a generation. President trump boosted republicans down ballot. Joe biden did not have the coattails for democrats. Were talking about the story with joe biden. We kept senate seats. We picked up seats in the house width no one expected. We won a governor state. Flipped legislative chambers your journey requires liberty mutual. They customize your Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need. Wow. That will save me lots of money. This games boring.

Ari, always great to have you on the show. We love your insights and perspective. Media, forecasts were wrong. Democrats are shellshocked. They lost they would win 10 to 15 seats. They lost eight seats. They didnt win the senate. They have the smallest majority of the house for democrats in a generation. What was your reaction when you saw this . Will this lead a shakeup in the house to remove democrat nancy pelosi . Were seeing more democrats come on the record about that. I was shocked, liz. The polls were wrong. It suppresses peoples enthusiasm. We cant win, should we bother to show up. It was a devastating series of polls. Give you figures nationally. Right now donald trump is losing the popular vote by 2. 9 percentage votes. When california, west coast call it 3. 5. That is what he will lose by the popular vote by. The real clear politics average had biden up 7. 2. The economist had biden up by 10. Quinnipiac biden up 11. Couple states. Nevada elizabeth okay. We were talking about get to the polling. Go ahead. You. Asked about the polling. I wanted to show you how off it was. New york times has biden winning nevada by six. New york times has biden winning arizona by six. Same thing in senate races, many house races they predicted that the democrats would win na y. Theon twere twere h. Ds.

Elizabelh sorh s,h s s sri shesnnaveaveav a solol maty may m, m, m, 10, 15 seat advantage. We have 12 republican women coming into the house. Kevin mccarthy, minority leader said that could go maybe 19 republican women taking seats. You see things like democrat curt slater, John Yarmouth of kentucky, what about the transition . Who will succeed nancy pelosi . It is time to move on. When you hear that kind of talk on the record, that is a big deal, ari. There were like 19 house moderate democrats who were against nancy pelosi last year. Yeah. Many of them lost their reelections. So theyre gone. They wont have a vote in this. The problem we heard a lot of this talk two years ago. Nancy pelosi is always been that lightning rod. Then she tends to survive it, i dont know that the democrats are Strong Enough inside of their own caucus to take her down. Right now a lot of noise against her. But the bigger issue what did the democrats do wrong . Why did they lose a race where they were expected to gain seats . I put the loss between 10 and 15 net seats. That is why their majority will be so slim. It will be hard for fractious Democratic Coalition to do anything in the house of representatives regardless who the president of the United States is. What is wrong, all this noise about defund the police, medicare for all. Vociferious leftwing socialist sounding noises were quite pronounced in the house of representatives. Theyre too liberal. That is the problem they have. Elizabeth that is a great interesting point because, you know the nation is crying for leadership. Weve been through 9 11. Iraq debacle. The 2008 financial crisis. Unprepareness for a pandemic. Democrats want to change u. S. Institutions, pack the Supreme Court, get rid of the electoral college, defund the police. Rewrite the nations history. Insure equity in out comes, not focusing on opportunities, arrogant to unlike change to lock republicans out of power. Voters objected to that. Took to the polls. What are your thoughts on that . Of course they rejected that. Why you still see donald trump still has a chance to win the presidency here. Well see what happens. It is absolutely stunning a year in which one candidate, say biden wins, that he actually net loses seats for his party in the house in a president ial year. Of course the democrats were counting on taking over the senate. Now that is not going to happen now, hardly, very, very remote. They would have to win both georgia specials if they both go to special elections. Democrats played the wrong cards. They played the cards from the left. They think america is left. It is culturally left is what they think. That is a big part of the problem. A lot has less to do with specifics on tax policy or this issue or that issue. The whole woke culture, notion, the way youre supposed to speak, the way youre supposed to act, the way youre supposed to behave. The way youre supposed to things, things youre not supposed to say. It is if Middle America are told to shut up and vote left. People rebelled that. In district after district democrats thought they could win. Elizabeth people want unity. They dont want anymore chaos. They dont want divisiveness. They want peace. Were always thinking of the silent majority out there. What is interesting is, look at reaction congressional wreckage that went on for the democrats, even though democrats talking about unity, wanting to hugefy the country. What theyre pushing for. Many voters felt would divide the country in terms of what they want to do getting rid of u. S. Institutions. It felt like the backlash in 94 against bill clintons Health Care Push in the midterms in 2010. Then backlash against government control of health care. Felt like that, when you set aside the president ial race, what is going on in the congressional races, yourry. You know what is so interesting about that comparison is typically you get the big swings in the midyear elections, 94. You had the backlash against bill clinton. You saw it against barack obama both in 2010 and 2014. All three of those cycles were massive losses for democrats in midterms. What is unusual to lose seats very likely, i should say likely the democratic candidate will win presidency, yet his party lost seats in the house. That almost never happens. That is disconnect. What weve been talking about, liz. You cant be that liberal in america they have you can win. Liberals think america is that liberal. America knows it is not. Elizabeth we hear what youre saying. We always listen to the moderate voter in the heartland. People looking for moderation, harmony and unity and peace. They really dont want to have washington so much in their consciousness. Were paying washington do the job. Theyre so much in our lives. Criticism of trumps failures. Didnt trigger a landslide for democrats is striking. Right. Elizabeth what is awol in this race, what democrats won in 2018 on health care. It was about jobs and covid. Health care was down on the list of voters in the polls. Go ahead, take that on. Im convinced if is not for covid President Trump would not have won a reelection. His handling of covid raised enough minds particularly in College Educated voters, that he wasnt empathetic enough. That is puzzling to me. The president s language was a little bit out of sync. That is one of issues hurt him here you look at exit polls. This is directionally accurate, among voters, covid was Biggest Issue, a third of people, president lost that overwhelming numbers, the people who thought the economy was Biggest Issue the president won it by overwhelming numbers. His handling of covid hurt him in the end. Elizabeth that is interesting. The debate always about his Approval Rating has been, or his vituperative tweets holding down the Approval Rating. We covered his covid White House Pressers walltowall. There were a lot of productive things the White House Covid Task force was doing, operation warp speed. Moving to get more ppe out there. Invoking the defense production act and on and on. But you know when you see, you know, editorial pages like at the New York Times saying you should censor the White House Press conferences on covid because President Trump just stumping for himself, well that is a debate about censorship that this country is not really about censorship. It is that people really did want to see what he was saying, what the information was. The criticism was, it seemed like he was too much about himself and not about what, what the good things were that could be done for the country and also reaching across the aisle to the democrats to get everybody in on this to stop this virus. What do you think . Yeah i think thats right and remember when the president sent the Navy Hospital ship, the comfort to manhattan to new york city to provide Additional Space to help people in new york who were being overburdened at the breakout of this. Think about it, the president had done that. He went to norfolk to send off the ship. Think every time we sent military doctors, military nurses to hot spots in florida and texas, wherever we did deploy them we did. We sent ppe, sent medical supplies. The president was not at those events. He didnt personify the response. Im here to help whenever there is hot spot. I will watch to go see the supplies go to you. I want to help you solve this problem. His language was fighting with the press corps in the briefings that lasted two hours in march and april. I said much of what will be decided in october will be decided what happens in march and april. That voters, the bloc, the Third Largest block of the electorate, voted on basis of the covid. In crisis he has to personify the response, what i fear he emphasized argument as opposed to the government response. Elizabeth interesting. Ari fleischer. Thanks for coming on. Okay . Thank you, liz. Thank you. Elizabeth okay. With us now republican strategist ford oconnell. Ford, i dont know if you have been listening to Ari Fleischer and i, were talking about in advance of the president about to speak at white house momentarily. What is your reaction and take on things, about things going on right now with the race with what a riff and i were just talking about . Well i definitely think that the president can still win this election. It is definitely going to be a heavy lift but i would not count out donald john trump. It certainly can be done. Something else you and ari were talking about, how the republicans will hold the senate and make gains in the house, for months the media sold us a pack of blue wave lies that essentially were tant at that month to election interference and voter suppression. They told us trump would get wiped off the electoral map. They told us mcconnell and republicans would lose the senate, pelosi would get more woke reinforcements. None of it happened. Why did they tell us . The polling gods said they were right. Guess what . We found out that is not true. Elizabeth the president has won so far, more than 68 million votes. 68. 2 million. More than in 2016. We understand there was a bigger turnout. Were talking about Ari Fleischer, the criticisms of the president didnt trigger a landslide of the democrats thought would happen, right . Well that is exactly right but i will say if there were not a Global Pandemic going on from china joe biden would not be two people of the white house. I understand people want to monday morning quarterback and secondguess the president , the bottom line were in a situation there was Global Pandemic which gave democrats able to fidel the rules in states. Were arguing whether a legal ballot. My home state of that florida was a disaster in 2000. Emac were the model of the nation when it comes to tabulating votes, quickly, effectively, and safely. Elizabeth yeah. We hear what youre saying. That covid really displaced everything. Weve been reporting on that for sometime. This is going to hit the race. So when you look at that look what was the focus in the media, you and i talked about this, ford, it was the focus in the media was a lot about you know, court packing, change in the u. S. Institutions, get rid of the electoral college, get rid of the filibuster, bring in more states. Felt like the democrats were reactionary in terms of what they want to get done. It is still unclear what joe bidens policies were to win the white house. So you know, when you break it down to how the coverage went and, what the policies were and how it shook out that now covid really is slamming the president ial race, i mean, so how does the nation move forward from this as the president is about to speak at the white house momentarily. Well i think we need to get to the bottom to make sure we instill in folks that we have a free and Fair Election, whoever does ultimately win this election but i think the democrats learned a very real thing here. That is whether or not donald trump was on the top of the ticket or we were in a Global Pandemic, the democrats were selling socialism. Greater government control. Greater redistribution and censorship. The American People went for freedom. That is why the republicans made gains in the house and will hold the senate. Elizabeth so, we were talking about with ken starr earlier. We were talking about mailin ballots, that is the issue. We were looking at sound bites from barack obama in 2008 saying there were fraud in mailin ballots. Debbie Wasserman Schultz former dnc chair said we dont want mailin ballots. Theyre problematic. How do you think this will shake out . Arizona will have good read final result tomorrow . Pennsylvania will have essentially its result tomorrow. So still waiting on georgia and nevada. What is your read on this right now, ford . Well i find it funny the democrats have done a 180 on mailin ballots. What the country should be concerned about, whether youre republican, did the person vote, legal and eligible to vote, is the person who mailed in the ballot, who they say they are, and chain of custody accurate . We need to count all legal votes regardless who they voted for. Im concerned here not all the votes out there are legal, eligible, in the rules set down by the various state legislatures in this country. Were 50 states under one flag, we do have different election rules. At the same time we have to make sure we have a free and Fair Election for legal, eligible voters. Elizabeth you know what is really interesting we were talking to ken starr whether or not the mailin vote fight goes to the Supreme Court. There has to be a constitutional issue for the Supreme Court to address this. You cant just walk in to deal with . Yes i can hear you. Elizabeth they decide what is a valid ballot in order for elector it take the ballot, bring it to the vote. Were watching too, a number of these swing states, were seeing republicans control both legislative chambers in pennsylvania, North Carolina, and also of course, interesting enough we see that in wisconsin too. So does that matter when it comes to the mailin ballot fight . If the Supreme Court says, you know what your state legislators decide what is valid ballot . We have republicans controlling those chambers in pennsylvania, North Carolina, wisconsin. What do you think, ford . I think that is very important. That is called the purcell rule. What john roberts United StatesSupreme Court said they will err towards the state legislature and rules that were put out there. If donald trump can get a case in front of the court says that is it not exactly whats happening, whether it is wisconsin or pennsylvania or arizona or nevada, that is going to be very, very interesting. That might be a way in there to make sure that we have a vote on it versus a vote recount. Elizabeth interesting. Here is the lay of the land. In 28 states absentee ballots had to be postmarked and received by the end of election day. 22 states where ballots can, can count mailin ballots postmarked by election day. In pennsylvania it was swung past election day. Then we have this, Pennsylvania State officials getting criticized saying joe biden will win the race. Theyre not sounding really emphatic how their mailin ballots are being counted. Sort of like when you see the secretary of state there it doesnt matter if it is postmarked or not. Anything that arrived yesterday is valid. That is what pennsylvania law always has been. When you see officials come out in pennsylvania talking like that, voters might think this doesnt feel very he edifying, ford, what do you think . No, i think what youre absolutely right. I think what the pennsylvania secretary of state has done and attorney general of pennsylvania put their finger on the scale, create a lot of distrust. They like to point the finger at the president. The bottom line, Pennsylvania Needs to follow the law, not telling you what it feels or thinks. It is about making sure the election is transparent. Frankly the media is not covering it outside of fox news and fox business. Elizabeth all right. Ford oconnell, thanks for joining us. Really appreciate it. Thank you, emac as always. Elizabeth okay as we wait for the president. He is scheduled to speak at the white house momentarily lets bring back in retired i. C. E. Acting director tom homan. Tom, weve seen the Tea Party Patriots holding protect the vote protests in across the country. Happened in pennsylvania, washington, arizona, michigan and washington, d. C. What are your thoughts about that . Look they have the right to protest just like the left has the right to protest. They need to protest for transparency in the election and the vote counting. Look the president said it. We said it. Fox news said it. We expected a very confrontational election. We expected a close election. Mailin ballots would be a problem. Therewould be delays counting it. I would think pennsylvania, georgia, arizona be observant. Let on searchers there. Update it what is going on. Im glad they have the protests. They have that right. Elizabeth were seeing a pennsylvania judge, saying yes the Trump Campaign can put observers to observe the count. The Trump Campaign filed lawsuits in pennsylvania, michigan and georgia. So there there will be court skirmishes. If the judge in pennsylvania says yeah you can count the vote but pennsylvania is saying we can have the tally tomorrow, how effective is that, tom . Too late. Transparency should have been there right from the beginning. When i was i. C. E. Director they attack facilities. Theyre badlyrun i told my Public Information officer, open them up. Let them see how we run facilities. Transparency happens elizabeth what happened when you did that . What happened when you opened up. Go ahead. It put an end to the false narrative. That these people are wellfed. The medical facilities are there and theyre state of the art melt facilities. You had one offs, person sitting out such a time. We had nothing to hide. Elizabeth the okay, tom, the president is now at the podium. Lets take a listen. President trump good evening. I with like to provide the American People with an update on our efforts to protect the integrity of our very important 2020 election. If you count the legal votes, i easily win. If you count the illegal vote they can try to steal the election from us. If you count the votes came in late, were looking at them very strongly. A lot of votes came in late. I have already decisively won many critical states including massive victories in florida, iowa, indiana, ohio to name just a few. We won these and many other victories despite historic election interference from big media, big money and big tech. As everybody saw we won by historic numbers and pollsters got it knowingly wrong. They got it knowingly wrong. We had polls so ridiculous. Everybody knew it at the time. There was no blue wave they predicted. They thought there would be a big blue wave. That was false. That was done for suppression reasons but instead there was a big red wave. And it has been properly acknowledged actually by the media. They were i think very impressed this was after the fact. That doesnt do us any good. We kept the Senate Despite twice as many seats to defend as democrats. And in a really much more competitive states weve did a fantastic job with the senate. Were very proud what happened there. Many more seats to defend. They spent almost 200 million on senate races in South Carolina and kentucky alone. Two races and hundreds of millions of dollars overall against us. As National Level our opponents major donors were wall street bankers and special interests. Our major donors were police officers, farmers, everyday citizens. For the First Time Ever we lost zero races in the house. I was talking to Kevin Mccarthy today. He said he couldnt believe it. Zero races. Very unusual thing. Zero. We won many new seats with i think many more on the way. This was also the year of the republican woman. More republican women werent were elected to congress than ever before. That was a great achievement. I won the largest share of nonwhite voters in 60 years including historic numbers of latino, africanamerican, asianamerican and nativeamerican voters. The largest ever in our history. With grew our party by four million voters, the greatest turnout in Republican Party history. Democrats are the party of the big donors, the big media, the big tech it seems and republicans are become the party of the American Worker and that is whats happened. Were also i believe the party of inclusion. As everyone now recognizes media polling was election interference in the truest sense of that word. By powerful special interests, these really phony polls, i have to call them polls, fake polls, were designed to keep our voters at home, create the illusion of momentum for mr. Biden and diminish republicans ability to raise funds. They were what is called suppression polls. Everyone knows that now. And it has never been used to the extent that it has been used on this last election. To highlight just a few examples, the day before election quinnipiac which was wrong on every occasion that i know of had joe biden up by five points in florida and they were off by 8. 4 points. I won florida easily, easily. So they had me losing florida by a lot and i ended up winning florida by a lot. Other than that they were very accurate. They had him up four points in ohio and they were up by 12. 2 points. And they also won ohio. Great state of ohio very easily. The Washington Post biden up 17 points in wisconsin. It was basically even. They were off by about 17 points and they knew that. Theyre not stupid people. They knew that. Suppression. There are now only a few states yet to be decided in the president ial race. The voting apparatus of those states are run in all cases by democrats. We were winning in all the key locations by a lot actually and then our numbers started miraculously getting whittled away in secret. They wouldnt allow legally permissible observers. We went to court in a couple instances. We were able to get the observers put in. When they observers got there, wanted them 60, 70, 80, 100 feet away or outside people to observe inside the building. We won a big case. We have others happening. Lots of litigation even beyond our litigation. There is tremendous amount of litigation generally because how unfair this process was. Im been talking about mailin voting for a long time. It is really destroyed our system. It is a corrupt system and it makes people corrupt even if they arent by nature. But they become corrupt. It is too easy. They want it find out how many votes they need. Then they seem to be able fine them. They wait and wait and then they find them and you see that on election night. We were ahead in vote, in North Carolina by a lot, tremendous number of votes. And were still ahead by a lot but, not as many. Because they finding ballots all of a sudden. Amazing how the mailin ballots are onesided too. I know it is supposed to be to advantage of the democrats but in all cases theyre so onesided. We were up by nearly 700,000 votes in pennsylvania. I won pennsylvania by a lot. That gets whittivelyed down were up by 90,000 votes. They will keep coming and coming. They find them all over. They dont want us to have any observers. Although we won a court case. The judge said you have to have observers. Likewise, theyre appealing. Actually theyre appealing. We have won a case that we want people to watch. We want observers and theyre actually appealing which is sort of interesting. I wonder why they would appeal all we want to have people watch as they do the vote tabulations. Likewise in georgia i won by a lot, a lot. With a lead of over, getting close to 300,000 votes on election night. In georgia and by the way, got whittled down, by now it is getting to be to a point where i go from winning by a lot to perhaps being even down a little bit. In georgia a pipe burst in a faraway location totally unrelated to the location of what was happening and they stopped counting for four hours and a lot of things happened. The election apparatus in georgia is run by democrats. We also had margins of 300,000 in michigan. We were way up in michigan. Won the state. And in wisconsin we did likewise. Fantastically well. And that got whittled down. In every case they got whittled down. Today were on track to win arizona. We only need to carry i guess, 55 of the remaining vote. 55 margins and, that is a margin that weve significantly exceeded. So well see what happens with that. But were on track to do okay in arizona. Our goal is to defend the integrity of the election. Well not allow the corruption to steal such an important election or any election for that matter. And we cant allow silence, anybody to silence our voters and manufacture results. I have never had, ive been doing a lot of public things for a long time. I have never had anything that has been as inspirational by people calling, talking, sending things to us. I have never seen such, such love and such affection and such spirit as i have seen for this, people know what is happening. They see whats happening. It is before their eyes. Many instances will be reported very shortly. There is tremendous litigation going on and this is the case where theyre trying to steal an election. Theyre trying to rig an election. And we cant let that happen. Detroit and philadelphia known as two of the most corrupt political places anywhere in our country, easily, cannot be responsible for engineering the outcome of a president ial race. A very important president ial race. In pennsylvania democrats have gone to the and very strongly. Now we won the case but there going forward, they dont want anybody in there or anybody watching them as they count the ballots and i cant imagine why there is nobody legitimate reason why they would not want to have people watching this process because if its straight they should be proud of it. Instead the train obviously to commit fraud and theres no question about that. Philadelphia observers have kept far away, very far away, so far that people are using binoculars to try and see and theres been tremendous problems caused. They put paper on all the windows so you cannot see in and the people that are banned are very unhappy and become somewhat violent. The 11th circuit ruled that in georgia the votes have been by election day, that they should be about election day and they were not, votes are coming in after election day and they had a ruling already, you had to have the votes and by election day to the best of my own knowledge the vote should be in by election day and they didnt do that. Democrat officials never believed they could win this election honestly. I really believe that. Thats why they did the mail and ballots where there is true randomness corruption and fraud going on, thats why they mailed out tens of millions of unsolicited ballots without any verification measures whatsoever and ive told everybody that these things would happen because ive seen it happen, i watched a lot of different elections before they died decided to go with this big massive election with tens of millions of ballots going out to everybody in many cases totally unsolicited. This is unprecedented in american history, this is by design of striking years of carrying to care about the election security. They refused to include any form to verify signatures, identities or determine whether they are eligible or ineligible to vote. People are walking in there, they have no idea, theyre just taking numbers, writing down things, the workers and doing a lot of bad things and we have a lot of information coming in litigation that will shake even you people up, the officials overseeing, the counting in pennsylvania, other key states are part of a corrupt democrat machine that you written about for a long time you been writing about the corrupt democrat machine, i went to school there and i know a lot about it, hasnt changed a long time ago and it think its gotten worse. In pennsylvania part of the democrats allowed ballots to be received three days after the election and we think much more than that and they are counting those without even postmarks or any identification whatsoever so you dont have postmarks, you dont have identification, there has been a number of disturbing irregularities across the nation and the campaign has denied access to observe any counting in detroit, detroit is another place and i wouldnt say the best reputation for election integrity, poll workers in michigan were duplicating ballots, one of our observers attempted to challenge the activity the poll workers jumped in front of the volunteers to block their views so they could not see what they were doing. It became a little bit dangerous, one major hub for counting ballots in detroit covered up the windows again with large pieces of cardboard so they wanted to protect and block the counting area, they did not want anybody to see the counting, these were legal observers that were supposed to be there. In detroit there were hours of unexplained delay in delivering many of the votes for counting. The final batch did not arrive until 4 00 a. M. And even though the polls close at 8 00 oclock, they brought it in the batches came in, nobody knew where they came from. Weve also been denied access to observe critical places in georgia and multiple swing states counting, was halted for
