Trump was in florida tonight, a state with more than 5,000 new cases just this past weekend. And hes heading to several other states this week that are also struggling in this pandemic. And hes doing it for one very obvious if odious reason. He believes this is good for him and his campaign. Thats what he thinks. What he knows for sure is that he is creating risk for the people who care most about him in this country everywhere he goes. And he does not care. How can i say that . Look at the proof. He says nothing about the spacing at the rallies. He says nothing about the maskless nature. In fact, he celebrates contact. I went through it. Now they say im immune. I can i feel so powerful. Ill walk into that audience. Ill walk in there. Ill kiss everyone in that audience. Ill kiss the guys and the beautiful women and everybody. Ill just give you a big, fat kiss. When youre the president , you cant lock yourself in a basement and say, im not going to bother with the world. Youve got to get out and its risky. Its risky, but you got to get out. Thats completely untrue. Its risky, so you dont get out. The worst part is im thinking about the people, not the president , to be honest. Theyre exposing themselves for all bad reasons. They either dont know or Pay Attention to the risk. They think theyre showing support for trump by not wearing a mask. And the part that gets me the most is listen to the supporters themselves. Listen to what one says they would do if trump said to. You saw what happened at the white house recently where so many people who were outside an event got coronavirus, including the president ended up with coronavirus. That doesnt concern you . No. No. Why doesnt it concern you . Im healthy. I have no Underlying Health issues, and that seems to be the people that are most prone to getting the disease. The president was healthy too, though, and he had to take a helicopter to the hospital. He had good medical care, right. You think youd have care that good . No, but i have i take care of myself. Why not just put on a mask . Whats the difference . No. A mask can actually do more harm than good for individuals. It can be because people can faint because theres too much Carbon Dioxide going into their system. You think thats problem for people across the country . Just enough. Enough people are getting ill because theyre wearing a mask. Really . Where does that come from . Common sense. Do you believe you wont get sick from it . I dont care if i do because i know im not going to die from it. How do you know that with all due respect . You know what . If i do, i do. Im not afraid. I believe in god, and i trust if i get the virus, then that was gods will. Weve also seen the numbers drop every single day. The numbers are going up now, though. Mr. Trump says its disappe disappearing, but its not. Thats not the true. Im debating what the truth is for that because what i can see, all the numbers that ive read up and down, and im seeing that the flu is taking more people. So thats what you believe . Yes. Let me ask you this. If President Trump at the rally said, everyone put on your masks . I would put it on. That kills me. It just does. Mr. President , what else do you have to hear . Tell them to put on a mask. You were throwing packages of them out there. Just say, listen, put them on. Make the scientists happy. Just put them on. We dont want anybody getting sick. I need you all to vote for me. So put the mask on. Maybe youre not as tough as i am. Youre not going to beat it. You wont be immune. He doesnt know that hes immune. I dont know that im immune. We dont know anything. Nobody told him hes immune, okay . But his refusing to give the right message on masks matters. They listen to you. They would act differently. Theyd be safer. Why dont you want that . You refuse to respect the mask rule yourself. It made you sick, and you lied about it before the debate. You said, well, we took tests. You didnt take a test, and you knew you didnt take a test, and you lied anyway. And you were clearly willing to have contact before you were immune. How do we know . Well, because we dont know when he last tested negative before he tested positive for covid. That is the actionable space. Thats when he was likely contagious. Why wont they tell us . Privacy concerns. Please. If its not too private to say when he tested negative on consecutive days since having covid, so hes able to do these things, then why wont they tell us when he tested negative before he got it . What is this . Selective privacy . Its exactly what it is. Look, and i hope the president is free from the virus. But nowhere in america is really free from it. Look at the damn map. He knows this map. He gets briefed on it every day. He just doesnt give a damn. New cases are up 41 from last month nationwide, and hes on a fourstate blitz this week, gathering largely maskless maga crowds . Youre making your own people sitting ducks. Oh, weve never had a problem at a rally. Thats b. S. We know they have. Why do it . His own top Infectious Disease expert warns trump, youre asking for more trouble. We know that that is asking for trouble when you do that. Weve seen that when you have situations of congregate settings where there are a lot of people without masks. The data speak for themselves. It happens. And now is even more so a worse time to do that because when you look at whats going on in the United States, its really very troublesome. Look, you know, the shame is if he would get on the other side of this and start being aggressive about what kind of testing we should have, what kind of protocols we should have, hey, maybe there is a better way. Maybe you can be more selectively protective, but thats not what hes doing with these rallies. You got the old and the frail in there with the young and the strong. Wheres a better plan . Instead of ignoring the reality, help shape the reality. Hes been warned. He is more worried about losing this election than losing a few supporters to covid along the way. And those on the right have bought in, which is why senator mike lee from utah, who tested positive 11 daysear a mask today at the Supreme Court confirmation hearing. He could still be contagious. Its hard to believe we are where we are now after all we know. Lets bring in dr. Ashish jha for the state of play and also ask David Axelrod just for what the political calculus, the plus minus is on this. A little bit of breaking news, dr. Jha. Did you hear about what just happened with one of the drug trials . Johnson johnson said today its pausing the advanced Clinical Trial phase three of its experimental Coronavirus Vaccine because of an unexplained illness in one of the volunteers. They say this happens. Its an expected part of any clinical study, especially a large study. But this is the second phase three Coronavirus Vaccine trial to be paused. Astrazeneca is in the same situation. Thats something that operation warp speed, theyre a believer in astrazeneca, and theyre hoping that will go well. Now, this news matters, especially in the specific context of the political pressure on the fda just last week to not do anything to slow down the approval process of these vaccines. What does this breaking news today mean . So, chris, thank you for having me on. The Johnson Johnson trial is the biggest trial of the vaccine that i know of. 60,000 people. Within that trial, youd expect a few pauses. On one hand, theyre right, this is completely expected. And its just a reminder of how ridiculous it is to try and meet a political timeline of having a vaccine before november 3rd. Thats just not how it works. These things take time. We want the vaccine to be safe, and weve got to let the process play out. And its going to take a while, and well see these kinds of bumps on the road. To me, its reassuring that companies are acting responsibly and pausing when they need to. Quick follow. We just heard a trump supporter i dont believe was saying it sarcastically when she said, yeah, if he told me to put on the mask, i would. That confirms our absolute worst suspicions. What do you think it could mean if he started saying at the rally, look, i want you to come together. Were going to try to keep you apart a little bit and wear the mask. Wear the mask. What kind of difference do you think that could make . Well, chris, i think that would actually save probably tens of thousands of american lives because it wouldnt just be the people that came to his rallies. The symbolism, all of his supporters who have so far not been Wearing Masks would get the message, and the data is very clear. If everybody wore masks, if 90 of americans wore masks, wed have tens of thousands of fewer deaths over the next few months. And were barely at like 60 , Something Like that. Ax, what is the basis of the political play to continue to play down the pandemic even now . Not that you subscribe to the theory, but what is the theory that theyre acting on . Look, this is a microcosm of the whole saga dating back to january. He believes he can spin this virus. He believes he can impose his will on the story. Just consider the ad in which dr. Fauci was misquoted or taken out of context. The beginning of the ad starts like this. Hes recovering from the coronavirus and so is america. And that is the message that he wants people to receive in these final weeks of the campaign. Its the same message he was trying to deliver in february, and its just not true. And the danger of it is in trying to promote this fiction, he is encouraging people to act irresponsible. Do you know that Governor Ron Desantis of florida, who is presiding over another upsurge of cases in florida, was standing there in the middle of the crowd without a mask tonight . Yeah. I mean its really extraordinary. Its incredible. Its irresponsible, but its very familiar, chris. This has been the story from the beginning, and its one of the reasons why hes double digits behind right now. The states hes going to and the states biden is going to, theyre going to reach states. Explain what a reach state is. Were going to go more in depth later in the show. But what is the play, and why does it matter . Well, look, i think whats happening actually is that trump is playing defense, and biden is playing offense. I mean there are six states really, florida, north carolina, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, and arizona, that are the core battleground states. But youre seeing candidates travel to other states, states like georgia, you know, ohio. Biden was in ohio. That is a state that no republican has ever lost and won the presidency. And now its an even state. And i think it tells you a Little Something about the state of play here. The fact that the president is going to des moines, iowa, a state that he won by nine points last time, is pretty telling. And hes on the defense, and bidens on the offense. Biden expanding his map, and i think thats the story of this race. Its more likely that biden will win a substantial, maybe a landslide victory in the Electoral College than it is that donald trump will get 270 electoral votes. Were going to go into it later in the show. We have a whole pathway analysis about what could happen on Election Night. But just as a little bit of a taste, the idea that biden is going to ohio, hes got no business in ohio looking at 2016. Trump won by eight, almost nine points. So the president going there, you know, on defense when he won it, you now,byclose toten points tells you something. So, ashish, the idea that things are getting worse, people say, nah, nah, nah, youre just playing it up because were getting near the election and you want to scare us. We already went through it. Now its the flu. Youre confusing covid for the flu. Thats what were seeing. Thats the time of year it is. What is the reality that you see in the numbers . Yeah. So the reality is very clear, chris. The flu is not whats surging right now. Whats surging is covid. Were up about 20 over the last month, and everybody always says, well, its just cases, not hospitalizations. Guess what . Hospitalizations are up 10 . They always lag. And unfortunately we know where this story goes. Deaths are going to start climbing in the next week or two. Weve played this movie over and over and over again. Were playing it really the third time, and its not a good movie. I dont think any of us want to see it end this way. So we can still turn it around. Weve talked about what we need to do, avoid gatherings, wear the masks, wash your hands, fix testing. But we just dont seem to be able to pull the political will to do that as much as we need to. Is there a middle ground that hasnt been explored yet that you, where you can, allow the young or the not at risk to go back to work and school and do more to protect those who are vulnerable . You have an older teacher, they dont have to do it. They get to work from home. They get protected. Older people, Nursing Homes and all the places where they are, you keep them safe. If you have households where you have mixed generations, you treat it generally. Should we be thinking about that approach more . Well, first of all, no doubt about it we should be doing more to protect vulnerable people, absolutely. While letting other people go and go to work and go to school. You know how i feel about schools, doc, right . I want my kid in school. I think they should be able to be in school. Yeah, so schools are a different issue, chris. But lets get back to the idea of letting young people get back to work and do their own thing. The problem with that theory is that if you let the infection kind of rip in the young, it turns out you need workers in Nursing Homes. They get infected, nursing home residents get infected. Elderly people need to go to the grocery store. Theyre going to encounter young people. You cant segregate an aspect of society. People have tried it. It just doesnt work. Its not that simple. I hear you. Axe, quick prediction. What do you think turnout is like . Massive. Over 150 million voters, largest turnout since 1960 is what i predict. Oh, were you ready for that question . I didnt even prep it. That was a very quick answer. Im surprised by that. Thank you very much, David Axelrod. You and the family be well. Dr. Ashish jha, as always, thank you for understanding and teaching us what the Straight Path is. Appreciate it. Now, look, republicans are making a big bet. What is the bet . That getting another Scotus Justice will bring people more relief than anything else, even than passing an actual relief bill at a time that we have more people standing in line all over this country for food than anytime you can remember.

Not a single senator has gotten to ask the Trump Nominee for the Supreme Court a question, and the chairman of the committee, Lindsey Graham, senator of course, has already set a date for the vote. And he refused to let the members of the committee take a covid test before starting the hearing. Think about how crazy the second part is. Look, we know theyre going to jump the process, so thats just impolite. But can you believe, no, no testing. We dont need to know. Really . Lets get some insight from one of the key players on that committee, new jersey senator cory booker. He was in the room with judge barrett for day one. Senator, thank you for joining us on prime time. Thank you for having me. Its good to be on. What was your level of confidence in a room where you knew none of your colleagues were tested. Senator Lindsey Graham said, were all cdc compliant. Were good. We dont need the tests. Well, again, a number of them were at that superspreader, where we assume that mike lee and thom tillis got the virus, and theyre on the committee. The responsible thing to do would be to have a testing protocol in which all senators would be tested, not just for ourselves, but, remember, there are dozens and dozens of people from the security in the area to people who are wiping down and cleaning the room. Its irresponsible. And, look, when a senator gets sick, they have great health care. And i think what we try to make clear today was that unfortunately with covid rates going up now in the majority of our states, so Many Americans are struggling, and Many Americans, should this nominee get confirmed in time to hear the oral arguments for the trump administrations push to invalidate the Affordable Care act, we could have millions of americans losing their Health Insurance in the middle of a pandemic, and thats outrageous. Lucky for them the president has no plan, so maybe he wouldnt be able to move that quickly even if he is reelected. Let me ask you something. Did you have a chance to ask senator lee why he didnt wear a mask . I did not. Id love to know what his rationale is. What do you think is behind the recalsy trans, the i dont need a mask, the we dont need to be tested. Theyre not stupid people, okay. You know senator mike lee from utah. Hes not a dumb guy. Senator Lindsey Graham certainly is not a dumb guy. What is motivating the madness . You know, somehow from the very beginning of this pandemic, doing the right thing often got politicized, and we saw from governors to the president themselves saying outrageous things that didnt just put lives at risk, but in many ways could have caused us to have such a higher rate of death in this country than most other nations on the planet earth. It is unfortunate. We are a country that really lacked leadership, especially a president who is uniquely unqualified for this crisis in history. Its just crazy. Could you imagine what i would do to you and if you were in senator mike lees position and you decided no the to wear a mask and show up at a committee because you didnt think it was necessary . I mean as big a guy as you are and as powerful and as much respect as you deserve, that would go ugly early, and yet they are celebrated. And it went to something you said today. I plant to play it for the audience in case they missed it. Will you please play the senators sound bite about normalcy. Nothing about this today is normal. This is not normal. What is going on in America Today in the midst of a deadly pandemic and an ongoing election, having a rushed Supreme Court nomination hearing is not normal, and we cannot normalize it. Getting a lot of traction. Is it true what is normal . If its what is accepted, trump was elected, right . Hes got tons of support. I know there are polls but it could be a very, very tight race. He could win. Then wouldnt that make this normal because this is what people want normatively . Where do you really authentthine right now . I get the passion of the argument, but have we moved past that point with his election . Donald trump has shattered so many of our democratic norms, but this is exceptional. We right now are not were not 22 days out from an election. Millions of people are already in the process of voting. Yep. The only time weve ever seen a Supreme Court justice die during a president ial election was under lincoln, and him, a model of grace, did not put a Supreme Court justice up. He waited until after the election. But the problem is that there is so much clearly at stake. Donald trump said, i will only put justices up that will overcome roe v. Wade, criminalize abortion, and that will tear down the aca. So people know whats at stake, and they are out there voting right now. They should have the opportunity to speak, and for them to rush this through in this process, as you said, in an environment thats not even safe as it should be, this is unacceptable, not normal, and wrong. Will you give me a yes no on whether or not your party, if you get control of the senate, should consider packing the court . Ive learned a long time ago not to speak for my party, and you and i both know i think thats luring us into a false debate. Weve got to win the senate back. Weve got to win the presidency. Weve got to win enough senate seats because clearly theres going to be a divergence of opinion on it. So i think were so far away on that hypothetical on hypothetical on hypothetical you dont have any personal opinion on it, senator . Forget about the party. So, yeah, i have a lot of person opinion. Im looking forward to a lot of vibrant debates about that, about d. C. Statehood, about are you open to that discussion . Im open to winning. Im focused on winning. Im tired of my party, democrats, jumping to debates that are really moot right now. What everybody should be focused on is getting people out to vote and winning an election to i think its hurting biden. Thats why i ask you, senator. I think its hurting biden. I think when he was asked, would you consider it, kamala harris, we dont want to talk about it. Why . Why not . Doesnt he need a better answer than that about whats going on here . I could think of two or three answers that are better than that one just off the top of my head. Is im not going to answer it good enough if you want to get peoples votes and that issue matters . Well, your job is that. My job as a democratic senator is were up for reelection, focusing on whats important. This you should know chris. You shouldnt the nominee of your party. Hes campaigning incredibly hard, and he is earning peoples trust. They trust him more than the guys in office right now, so far be it from me to all over him. Im going to get out there and work for him. Work to did you say you shouldnt should all over your candidate . Yes, i did. I want to make sure i have that. Youre one of the cleanest guys i know. I wanted to make sure. On this show, you never really know. It could have gone a different way. Thank you. I just wanted to clarify that. You might have saved me tonight from getting a call i can only get you in trouble. One more bead on this. They trust him because hes straight with them. This issue matters. If he wont give an answer, if harris wont give an answer, are they being straight with the American People . I just want to tell you right now, chris, and you know this. This is a legislative move. Hes running to be president of the United States. And, again, i think its a distraction. Right now what i want from my president , tell me how youre going to deal with saving and expanding the Affordable Care act act. Tell me how youre going to protect people in the midst of a pandemic. What if his answer is by expanding the court to make up for the fact that theyre going to have a 6advantag3 advantage . He doesnt have the power to expand the court. Theres so many hypotheticals stacked upon hypotheticals before Something Like that would get to his desk. I think hes doing the right thing by focusing on what he can control, what he can promise and say hes going to do. He will keep us safer in this pandemic. He will expand Health Insurance. He will get more people back to work. These are the things a president of the United States can do. That is a hypothetical stacked on a hypothetical. Theyre trying to do everything they can to change the subject from a president who is uniquely unqualified for the crisis that were in. Senator, once you guys get through the hearing, id love to have you come back with your take on the judge and what substantiated your feeling. I appreciate it. I promise i wouldnt should all over everything if you have me back. You keep playing with it. When you say it too fast. Im sorry, brother. Its been a long day. Senator, look, i appreciate it. I know it has. I know coming on this show isnt easy. I appreciate it. Thank you. God bless you and the family. Stay healthy. Chris, god bless you. Thank you for saying that. Thank you. All right. Look, the president keeps insisting were not going to know the winner on Election Night. Now, im not a fan of what hes selling you because i think hes pushing you to not trust your institutions, okay . Especially with all the ballot drama that he concocts, theres such a good chance that it isnt true. But there is something that is true, which he may be responsible for in part. Now, no magical thinking involved, but i will enlist the help of a wizard to show you what you may not see, next. Tonight. Ill be eating roasted cauliflower tacos with spicy chipotle sauce. [doorbell chimes] thank you. [puck scores] oooow yeah i wasnt ready you want cheese to go with that whine . . No uh uh, no way come on, no no nnnnono only discover has no annual fee on any card. And a majority of americans. Say the vote for the next Supreme Court justice should wait till after the election. But instead of letting our voices be heard, trump and mcconnell are rushing it through and taking a short cut to the highest court in the land. Theres a pandemic devastating every corner of the country, but theyre just rushing to play politics with the court. Its a lifetime appointment, tell senators to do it right.

Breathe easy again. So first of all, big piece right after this about whats happening in california that shows maybe some ballot impropriety, all right . Big investigation. Got that. And guess who i have on at the end of the show . You know that viral tiktok with the guy whos making everybody feel better with the Fleetwood Mac, with the dreams and the ocean spray . I got him. Hes here on the show to tell us the whole story. Awesome, and we need it. But first, joe biden made two stops in ohio looking to expand his reach into republican territory. Is he nuts . Whats he doing in ohio . Trump won it by almost ten last name. Then the president is in florida. Why florida . Hasnt he seen the polls . This is a window into the dynamic of desperation on one side and the desperateness of opportunity to be had on the other. There is math to the apparent madness. The wufizard of odds, harry ent, says the answer is within reach, as in reach states. Wiz, thank you very much. Compliment my writing later. What is a reach state, and what are we seeing . First off, i dont even know what tiktok is. But, look, heres what a reach state is. A reach state is essentially the states outside of the main six that each side hopes to bring into their column if theres a blowout. So on the democratic side, the reaches are essentially those states that trump won by four or more in 2016. While trump is hoping to win those states that clinton won by three points or less in 2016. But take a look at these polls on your screen right now. The polling average in these states. In the biden reaches, he is up even if by a small margin in georgia, iowa, ohio. Texas, very, very close. While in the trump reaches, the places he would hope to put in play in a neutral year, hes not close in any of them. The closest is nevada where hes down by seven and biden has doubledigit leads in minnesota, new hampshire, and maine. Now, the president says its not going to be over on Election Night. You say not so fast. All right. So lay the groundwork for this potential pathway based on what you guys in the analysis business believe are a kind of putative or builtin ceiling that each candidate comes in with on Election Night. Explain. Right. I mean, look, heres the situation. Take a look at the six closest states that trump won in 2016, right . And what do you see there . The key nugget there is florida. Thats a fivepoint lead for joe biden right now. We know and we can get to it more in a second. We know that florida counts its votes very, very quickly. And we know also that if joe biden wins in florida, there are very few scenarios in which donald trump can win the presidency. So the fact that joe biden has a clear lead there right now, his ceiling, that is part of his ceiling and the fact that hes ahead right now could be an indication that we may, in fact, have a very good idea on Election Night who wins. So if biden wins florida and fill in the blank you will know on Election Night likely that he won. The fact is if he wins florida and basically doesnt lose any states that were expecting him to lose, then thats basically your fill in the blank. Like what . Whats the best chance . Florida plus what . Arizona . Then he almost certainly wins . What is it . Right. I mean basically its florida plus any of the states on your screen right now would get him, plus the Clinton States to 270 electoral votes, and hes ahead in all of them. The problem of course is the vote counting in those states may be slower, so we might not necessarily get biden to 270 electoral votes on Election Night. But, you know, i really do crack the numbers, chris. Thats all i do in my day. Theres nothing else i do. And if joe biden wins florida, even if he doesnt reach 270, even if we cant get a call, folks like me will say, look, we havent called this race yet, but theres a very good shot that joe biden has won the presidency. Wait. Let me get one more step on the what. Then well get to the why. On the what of florida, okay, what is the counting deal there in terms of what well know on Election Night . Right. So if we could skip ahead to the ballot process slide, what youll essentially see is that early votes and absentee votes, right, some states will process those votes earlier than election day while others will have to wait until election day or later to count them. Florida is one of those states where those votes will be processed on election day, so theyll count them very quickly. Youll see as soon as the polls close a bunch of mailin votes come in. And more than that, if we go one step further, remember most of the votes in florida, unlike some of these other states, you have to have the votes postmarked the ballots have to be postmarked and in. They have to be in on election day, which is very different than some of these other midwest battleground states where all it has to be is postmarked by election day. Florida, the ballots must be received. So received and theyll be processed, so well have a fairly good idea on Election Night what has occurred in florida. Boy, there are a lot of important states that have a little bit of weird rules here not weird, but just in terms of timing. Wisconsin and pennsylvania, youre not going to know on Election Night because they wont have their count finished. And michigan is split in half, harry. Youve got the big cities you can count before election day, but the rest of the state you cant count until after election day. So do you know michigan . I mean, look, we are in a very weird time, right . A lot of these states have not traditionally had large early votes or large mail votes. Florida is the one that really has. So were not exactly sure how long its necessarily going to take to count the ballots in a lot of these states, states like wisconsin, states like pennsylvania. We just know the rules that are sort of laid out. Remember back in of the primary it took a very long time for the votes to be counted in a place like pennsylvania. I would buckle in but thats why im saying to you and ive said over and over again, florida, florida, florida, just like tim russet said back in 2000. Also because florida should have them counted on Election Night. Thats going to be a very closely watched counting situation down there. Harry enten, thank you very much. You made it obvious, and i appreciate that. I love you, buddy. Love you. The president keeps saying he doesnt love our balloting process, that it makes it too easy, this mailin balloting. You know, you can collect and manipulate votes. You know, he may be right. But the problem is he may be right about what his own party is doing in california. Some serious allegations against the gop in that state. Californias secretary of state knows the case, next. Its open hey. Think youre managing your moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis or Crohns Disease . Are you ok . I did. But even when i was there. I never knew when my symptoms would keep us apart.

And when the big corporations pay more, your tax bill goes down. Thats right. A savings of a hundred twentyone dollars a year for the average home. Give homeowners a break. Vote yes on 15. This is really interesting. Theres a new investigation under way tonight by california Election Officials into boxes like these. Show the box. Its a fake ballot dropoff box in los angeles. They found them Orange County, Fresno County, big counties in california. Some of them designate themselves as official ballot boxes, but theyre not. Theyre unauthorized at a minimum. This is what you should be looking for. Bright orange boxes. Any other boxes you should not put your ballot in. Thats what californias secretary of state says, so he has sent a cease and desist order to the responsible party for the fugazy fixtures. That party, the States Republican Party according to california secretary of state alex padilla. Mr. Secretary, thank you for joining us. Thank you, chris. Thanks for having me. Are you sure its them . Theyve admitted as much, so its not just the States Republican Party, but it looks like some of their local committees participating as well. So we sent the cease and desist letter also to the Fresno County republican party, Los Angeles County republican party, Orange County republican party, while we continue to gather information. We hope its been contained. We certainly hope they comply with the cease and desist orders, but were inviting people to submit information if they continue to see these very problematic, fake drop boxes. One more step down the process, and then well have the argument about why this is the right move. Have they said they will comply . They have not said they will comply with the terms of our cease and desist yet although we have heard that many of the drop boxes have been removed. So i do think theres going to be a little more backandforth here before we find complete resolution. In the meantime were reminding voters that there are multiple options to vote and protect their health during this covid19 pandemic. Vote by mail is the pillar of it. When you return your ballot, voters deserve the confidence knowing its in secure hands and know its going to be counted. Heres the counterargument offered by them. More boxes, more better, mr. Secretary. If a congregation, business or Group Provides the option to parishion parishioners, associates or colleagues to drop off their ballot in a location with people they trust rather than handing it over to a restraininger who knocks offer their door, whats wrong with that . Every active registered voter is getting a vote by mail ballot because of the covid19 pandemic. They can return it by mail. In california, we cover the return postage, so you dont even need to find stamps. Secure, official drop boxes is another good option. Voters can also deliver their ballots at any inperson voting location either during early voting or on election day. So multiple ways to do it. If a voter finds themself in a pinch or needs assistance in returning their ballot, they have power for themselves who to turn it over to. But whoever is assisting them in returning the ballot also has to sign the envelope, and thats whats lost with these fake drop boxes. No accountability. You dont have a chain of custody. Dont have a chain of custody, and we dont have the requirement to regulations for these fake drop boxes as you do for the financial drop boxes, number one. The security and integrity of the box itself. Somebody who is being misled that this is an official box turns their ballot in. They dont know whos collecting it. They dont know how quickly it may return to the county or if it gets returned to the county. We have a ton of requirements on official drop boxes. Thats where we should be driving voters to. Are you just busting their chops because its the republicans and you wouldnt do this to the democrats or maybe theyre doing sat inkind of thing no. This is wrong no matter who is doing it. Its not just the security of the ballot thats in question here. It is the transparency, voter confidence itself. So one of the messages weve been reiterating today, anybody who believes they might have been misled because as your picture showed, several of these fake drop boxes were labeled as official. If you might have turned your ballot in sign up for where is my ballot . Its our ballottracking pool, available to all voters in california. Not just to confirm the status of your ballot, but to get confirmation when its received and when its counted. Mr. Secretary of state. Thank you very much. We are unusually hawkish, when it comes to the process, this year, because theres so much riding on the integrity of it. We expect such a big turnout and thank you for taking the opportunity to explain this situation. Hey, voters deserve no less. Be well. God bless. Stay healthy. All right. So, one person reason to be like, right now, if you live in california. Or youre just worried about the outcome, right . Why . Because theres no relief. There is no sign that any time soon, everything will seem to suck less. Theres nothing that can cut through all the nasty, all the division. Or, maybe, there is. Have you seen the viral sensation . Have you seen this cat with the cranberry juice . That just blew up tiktok. Why have tens of millions decided to watch this . Why did the song that he was playing relaunch Fleetwood Mac as a popular conduit of pop music, although theyre really a rock band. Why is it that ocean spray wound up hooking up this guy with his luxurious moves on the long board with his own video. Weve got him. Hes with us, next. Hmms and ahhs heard incall. With priceline, you can get up to 60 off amazing hotels. And when you get a big deal. You feel like a big deal. Priceline. Every trip is a big deal. I remember herwho was because she had a bracelet that had the names of her children. She asked me, doctor, am i going to be okay . and i could not give her the answer that i wanted to give her. There is no excuse for why we dont have this under control at this point. Joe biden listens to medical experts. He actually has a plan that does the things that we should have been doing many months ago. And joe biden is not going to let his ego get in the way of fighting the disease.

Better, now. Better, now. Let me jump to this part. Whats the why for you . Why do you think so many people are sharing this video and just, you know, its bringing on the joy . I i think its mainly because everybody just needs a break from Something Different than the chaos thats going on in the world right now. You know . Theres just too much of it. And, yeah, that just gave them a quick time to relax and smile and go out and do something as well because a lot of people are doing a parody of it. Its awesome. I love that you just like jump in there and just start singing, all of a sudden. And look, i think its 100 Different Things and its all beautiful. There is no reason to get scientific about it. But to me, one of the things that grabbed me is, as you and i both know as fans of Fleetwood Mac, that is one of the harshest, bitterest, breakup songs, ever. You know, she is singing about all kinds of you will gougly ab happened in life and with her love. And you were singing it in a happy way. And it was kind of a beautiful demonstration of how the suck is real. Were dealing with real suck right now, but you can still sing your way through it and enjoy the journey. And thats what you were doing, brother. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Just, you know what i mean . Just try to get out there. Put out some content. And im glad this one caught on to everybody as it did because like i said, i was just trying to get something out there to make my soldiers all just smile. So youre in the truck. You have like a 2005 durango or Something Like that. You had. I emphasize that, well get to it in a second. So what happens . Just occasionally, itd go off. Ill just be driving and id turn and then itd shut down. And like i said, this was one of those days. And it would just start back up. So like i said, it wasnt nothing. It was just a nuisance, you know what i mean . Because it would always just start back up, occasionally. So you leave the car and you decide to just jump on the long board and grab the cranraspberry and go . Yeah. I always have the cranraspberry with me takes me a couple days to drink it and i always have my long board with me because you never know. You know what i mean . But yeah. I always have a long board with me or a skateboard. Something. A different set of wheels. So the success has been crazy. So much success i like that, little dog action there. What did he have in his mouth, that dog . Little neck pillow. He just wants you to relax, man, see . Your whole life is about chilling out. Even your dog wants you to get your chill on. So ocean spray finds out about it. They send you a truck because you had the car problem. Youre selling merch, now, based on it. And youre just inspiring people to be cool and feel good, no matter what comes their way. Is that the message . Yeah, basically. I mean, like i said, i want everybody just to realize, you know, how life is hard but you can just take a simple minute out of your life to just reflect on happiness. You know
