Transcripts For FOXNEWSW The Story With Martha MacCallum 20201120

Arrive out of nowhere or cemetery logs that turn into a dead of night tiebreakers but the more we are learning about what happened, the more it looks like something more subtle, some manipulation that would favor in this case democrats. Through a series of state rule changes that kicked in in the weeks prior to the election, these changes made it easier to open up the spigot on what is an acceptable ballot. It got easier in the closing weeks to have a ballot to make it through than it had in the past. Thats what we are exploring tonight primarily in michigan and also in georgia. The New York Times back in september raised concerns about the mailin ballots that were coming in on normas numbers for the first time ever, setting analysis that found that in 24 primary elections this year more than 500,000 mailin ballots were rejected or 2 returned by voters, theres a growing concern that the number of ballots rejected could surpass 1 million. The democrat lawyer mark elias went to work, he spent a good part of the last year working on these election law changes, proudly tweeting images of lawsuits throughout the months for his side, he did a very good job on all of this. Remember this, when Stacey Abrams lost her Gubernatorial Election back in 2018, there was outcry. Even though there was a record turnout in that election year, her side it said there was Voter Suppression and claimed that she was the rightful governor of georgia. This is not a speech of concession, because concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true, or proper. Stacey abrams ought to be the governor of georgia. The election has been stolen from her using what i think are serious measures. Martha her side worked hard to change the rules so that wouldnt happen again, here is a senator Lindsey Graham talking about and the president election this year, the bar was lower. Between the elections in the primary and president ial on how to figure out what makes it acceptable and which ones are not acceptable. They had a 3. 5 rejection rate in the last election you know what the ballot rejection rate for signatures was in the selection . 0. 3 , the secretary of state did thats really polluted the database that you would compare a signature too. They failed to take people off the roles that are not eligible to vote. He got conned into signing a Consent Decree thats bad for georges election system. Martha congressman jeff collins represents the state of georgia and is leading the president s recount effort. Some of these rule changes they were put through, they were accepted by the legislature in the state of georgia, is this politics that you have to be really good at this stuff in order to figure out how to finetune it . I want to remind everybody that mark elias was working on those lawsuits is the same lawyer who was working in connection to steele dossier in terms of getting that rolling and hes been hard at work in this project but has there been anything illegal . If we want to talk about the steele dossier, thats a whole different issue. Martha im just reminding people why they know that name. I understand this didnt go through the legislature. The Consent Decree did not go through the legislature, it was based on lawsuits the Democratic Party in georgia did to weaken the standard on which verifications in georgia are made on absentee ballots. In georgia if you vote early in person, you have to actually show a physical ballot photo i. D. But with these signature ballots, you did not end the way a consent degree is working signed in march of this year is they can compare it to any signature. At some places did not go back to the registered voter card, they went back comparing it to the application for the absentee ballot with the ballot itself which opens itself up for fraud. Also them coming down in georgia let me be real clear. There is not a Voter Suppression, the only Voter Suppression coming from Stacey Abrams complaining about this when she got beat. From 2014 to max 2020, the issue of minority participation voting in georgia has doubled. Weve had 10 to at 12 to make a 15 increase, an africanamerican and hispanic male and female voting. The only issue of Voter Suppression is the Democrat Party suppressing the vote and trying to make it work where they can have signatures not in check. The issue is plain, you dont know 3 rejection rate in an election in which you have substantial amount of absentee ballots over what you had in 2018, its just wrong. Martha we made that point, turnout was higher in Stacey Abrams election even though she claimed there was Voter Suppression in that election. The question becomes when you look at this variance there, the ballots that were able to get through and we know in some cases and tell me if this was the case in georgia did they change the sensitivity level on what matches on a signature so that some of these machines you can turn it up or turn it down in terms of how close, what percentage close that signature needs to be . The voter match here, was actually physically looking at the different ballots. This is an issue of they are supposed to be checking when they actually are not and that has become the issue we are trying to deal with with the secretary of state. You talked about ballots being found if we had not asked for this recount in georgia, you realize there wouldve been over 3,000 votes for the president , 8,000, 10,000 votes in total that were never counted. If two weeks after the fact in the last 48 hours, they found these ballots that were never counted. This is the problem we are finding in georgia, in addition to these procedural issues, we are finding places that were not even counted and then on top of that, talk about issues with secretary of state, we are finding out local election boards were never given instructions on what to set those machines to to look for extraneous marks, over votes, under votes they never got instructions from the secretary of state on what to set it at. You had 159 counties left to their own decision on how to actually set their machines. Martha all of this is so eyeopening in a gut wrenching way for americans all across the country when you learn how willynilly some of these processes are across the country, they are different in every single state. There isnt a federal standard by which we vote in this country and no matter what happens, i think its a huge eyeopener in terms of how all of this works behind the scenes. You said back on november 9th we are confident we will find evidence of improperly harvested ballots and other irregularities that will prove President Trump won georgia, do you stand by that today on november 19th . Are you going to prove that . I stand by the fact we have found votes the president didnt get, we are looking for those votes as they are finishing up in georgia. We have found issues we cant get into as far as the absentee ballot signature issue, issues of asking the secretary of state to open this up exactly where the ballots came from. If we continue this process, there should be enough interest in georgia and across the country to say what actually happened and knowing the processes were followed in georgia, knowing we just found all of these ballots that were never counted and still trying to work and get through the issues of matching verification that we did not have an answer to. Martha i think a lot of people across this country are tired of being told they arent allowed to ask questions about how this works and being shut down we see twitter and facebook canceling people for bringing up this issue and wanted to know more about it. This is an Interesting Exchange between jack dorsey at twitter and senator ted cruz. With the following statement violate twitters policies . Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud. We would label it so people can have more context. Youve taken the political position of voter fraud doesnt exist, i would note both of those quotes come from the Carter Baker Commission on federal election reform, democratic president jimmy carter. As one who has been regularly censored by twitter, it doesnt surprise me. Everything that remotely resembles a question about this election is being tagged with some kind of a statement at the bottom they dont like the president , they never like the president , they didnt want him to be reelected, we had proof of that from google and facebook and others and we been trying to expose it and most media would never touch it doesnt surprise me they are going to trying to spin a narrative that everything was fine until all of a sudden we started finding ballots. Youve been asking the right questions, weve got to make sure this is open and transparent so americans can have trust in their voting system. In georgia, we have an election on january 5th. Martha whats going to change between now and then the in these rules and how can both sides make sure that there isnt any discrepancies . Sunlight is a great disinfectant and we got to put pressure on these counties to make sure they are taking proper precautions with her absentee ballots, there are other issues and weve got to have people turn out, theyve got to be part of this process. Our secretary of state has got to give clear instructions to these counties on how they are to count the boat so that people can trust to their vote is being counted. Martha you have to make sure you have observers on both sides who can report back to their side i watched everything, this is the way it went down. What about President Trump in georgia . Do believe hes going to campaign for these candidates and if he doesnt, do you think they have a shot . I think he gets through with making sure his election is taken care of, hes always been supportive of the party and of these candidates, he understands the real nature of what is at stake here. This is a Chamber Majority in the senate if these republicans are not reelected i support them, they need to be reelected because we have a real choice down here. You have david perdue and Kelly Loeffler who represent a conservative majority and youve got all soft and warnock. Theres a problem in this election down here and unfortunately we are having to deal with the mechanics of the election rather than whats going to happen on january 5th. Martha 8 out of 10 donors for the democratic candidate coming from out of state, money flowing in from everywhere for those races. Congressman collins, thank you very much. President trump reportedly summoning two republican legislators from michigan to the white house and what could be an attempt to use the state law to try to overturn the michigan election results.

Martha fox news alert tonight, in what would be a long shot move to change the michigan electors, weve learned President Trump has summoned Michigan Senate majority leader mike sharkey and House Speaker Lee Chatfield to the white house for an extraordinary meeting, just hours before the news broke, the Trump Campaign dropped its federal lawsuit in michigan challenging the states vote tallies, now it seems they are headed in a different direction. Joining me now, guide benson, a host of the guide benson show and fox news contributor, good to have you with us this evening. All of this is confusing, the wayne canvassing board are the two republicans and democrats who have been fighting that weve been watching on zoom lately and theyve been going back and forth on their decision, now they say they dont want to certify tonight i want to get everybody up to speed on news that broke a few moments ago which is that one of the two republican members of the four member michigan canvassing board, the state canvassing board says that he is leaning towards asking for a delay in certification and calling for an audit of the state, he says there are concerns, theyre going to delay the certification, your thoughts on whats going on there. The Trump Campaign in that press Conference Today claimed that they dropped their michigan suit because they got their desired remedy which was a delay in the certification in wayne county which isnt what happened. They did certify in wayne county, now youre asking for take backs from the republicans but im not really sure how that works legally speaking. What you just described would be a significant update should the other republican go along with it and there is some sort of stalemate in the state of michigan on the deadline for certification whether there is some sort of followup investigation or whatever word they want to use to describe it for that to take place. Were still talking about a pretty limited timeline to have an audit. I think the story we lead within the segment about these lawmakers, these leaders from michigan who will lead to the state legislature being summoned to washington by the president i dont think its totally outofbounds by any stretch to people wonder okay, you look at the context, you look at the timing, why is this happening, why is the president asking these lawmakers to come to washington and is he going to try to apply some pressure on them to perhaps i dont know, put in a different slate of electors through the state legislature, doing an end run around the borders of michigan, that is at least part of the speculation. I think we should wait and keep our powder dry and see what actually happens, but i think people asking those questions and may be drawing those conclusions, it is not completely baseless. You can connect a few dots here, it is possible. Martha we have seen in 2016, there were a few electors whose states voted for President Trump who became what is called a faithless elector and they did not put their elect doors towards President Trump and the end. It just going through it michigan law is, it does not include a provision for the legislature to directly select electors or to award electors to anyone other than the person who received the most votes. We know joe biden is ahead by 150,000 votes in michigan. This route does seem like a long shot. Its and extreme long shot and both of the Republican Leaders that are coming to washington for this meeting tomorrow or on the record as saying were not going to do anything like that. And i think thats the right thing for them to say. I know tensions are high and frustration is high and suspicion is high among many people in this country, particularly trump supporter us but i think in a counterfactual or a hypothetical, if four years ago we saw exactly this type of machination from democrats where President Trump President Trump had won estate or two and Hillary Clinton and her Campaign Said well, the people have spoken but were not really sure because russia, maybe they were involved in a lot of democrats believed that, still believe that even though there is no basis that they changed any votes thats a popular belief on the left. If the Clinton Campaign said we dont think this is fair and legitimate, lets wait or lets maybe see with what the legislators can do to put different electors in there and put us in the white house and barack obama is going to summon some democrats from the states to say what are you doing in your states, lets see what we might be able to do here i think conservatives would rightly have been in the streets screaming their heads off and i would have right there with them because thats not what we do in this country. That would be a shocking departure from our system of governance and the transfer of power in this country. I think this is a very dangerous path to even consider let alone go down. I am very suspicious or skeptical that were going to get even close to it, but the fact that we are talking about it frankly is unsettling. Martha there are some that say the seeds of distrust in the election are paving the way for the president to say that it was illegitimate over the course of the next few years if he decides he wants to run again. We know on Hillary Clintons side, she told joe biden not to concede under any circumstances in this election, its been fraught on both sides since thed be sitting on their side if the outcome wouldve been different. Thank you. The two g. O. P. Members of the wayne county board of canvassers Monica Palmer and William Hartman will speak exclusively to Laura Ingraham at 10 00 p. M. Tonight, remember some of what was spewed at them, we will show you some of those horrible videos, shes going to talk to them tonight. Up next on the story, president elect joe biden tries to unify the country to come together, but today some on his side are saying no thanks. I dont want anybody here to think that we are not winning. Let me tell you something, we are winning. Its working, its happening. Martha we will get reaction from another member of congress, congressman dan crenshaw coming up next. Over two million meals provided. Over four hundred National Parks protected. In fact, subaru and our retailers will have proudly donated over two hundred Million Dollars to national and Hometown Charities through the subaru share the love event. vo get 0 for 63 months and subaru will donate 250 dollars to charity. burk customer deepsomething like that. burke well, heres Something Else with your farmers policy perk, new car replacement, you can get a new one. customer that is Something Else. burke get a whole lot of something with farmers policy perks. We are farmers. Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum to use your vision benefits before the years up. This is us making sure you dont. Use em before you lose em, backed by our 100day guarantee visionworks. See the difference. Martha a consistent message coming out of the Biden Campaign has been that its time to come together to unite behind common interests, but today we heard a much different version from some of the more progressive members of the Democratic Party who held a press conference outside the nc headquarters demanding immediate action on their proposals for economic reform and for Climate Change, heres what they said. Thats what our next move is, to make sure that the Biden Administration keeps its promise. We know that we dont just make that demand and walk away, we have to organize for it, we have to bring the heat for it. Were going to make sure the Biden Administration sticks to our timeline, moving towards our timeline. I ask you, do not move from the needle, do not. We are more than them. Martha that at Democratic National headquarters, joining me now is republican congressman dan crenshaw of texas, good to have you with us tonight. What is your reaction when you hear those members of congress, colleagues of yours, what they are pushing for at this point . Ive got to ask the American People listen to them, are they who you want in charge . I dont think so and i think that message was rejected at the ballot box, to be honest. Joe biden has to deal with this simple fact, he invited socialists to his dinner party, made Kamala Harris come of the most liberal senator in the senate, made her his vp pick she is a signatory of medicare for all, takes away your private insurance, signatory of Green New Deal, Green New Deal is considered a crucial framework for Climate Change policy according to joe bidens Campaign Website. He invited all of these socialists and he cant be surprised when they got drunk on power and now they have a very loud voice which is exactly whats happening. They are not incorrect when they say their winning within the Democratic Party. I dont think theyre winning over america, we need to remember something, republicans took back almost a dozen seats in the house and we should be pretty happy about that. I think democratic platform and policy was largely rejected this time and this is what you get when you put socialism on the agenda. Martha joe biden is going to have to fight against that, he has said he doesnt want to take your private insurance away, hes going to have forces aligned against him but hes going to say look, i got elected, go home and be quiet. I wish he would fight against it but i do not view him as this principled leader. All weve seen from joe biden over the years is moving with the political winds, just to be popular and be his partys nominee. He will say hes going to protect your private insurance but lets not forget he was part of the Obama Administration who lied to us about keeping your doctor, you think they are telling the truth about keeping private insurance . Public option is simply a slow roll to medicare for all, theres no other way out of it. It does eventually get rid of your private insurance by undercutting private insurance. They named the Green New Deal in their Campaign Website and they can attack our Energy Industry and they want to transition away from oil and gas and fossil fuels, thats what makes us energy independent. Our fracking is what has decreased u. S. Emissions back to 1990 levels. These people dont know what theyre talking about, and a second, i think they are lying when they say they are socalled moderates. Martha this is jamaal bowman, representative elected democrat from new york, this is what he had to say about it being time for payback. Black and brown communities organize across the country to make sure joe biden won the white house and he did this. Now its time for payback. Now its time to make sure we invest the resources necessary to rebuild the nation in a way that is representative of all of us. Martha your reaction to that. Its interesting terminology, what they say rebuild, what they really mean is to destroy. And i think aoc tweeted today how she wants to keep people locked in their homes and spend taxpayer money paying them to be unproductive and to lose their jobs. This is not rebuilding anything, this is destroying our way of life. For what . We are getting into a different subject, but for what . What is the benefit of these lockdowns that they want so badly, there is no benefit scientifically speaking, the data is out at this point. The benefits are basically nil at best unproven but the costs are enormous and they are hurting people. This is what they are advocating for. Its radicalism to the extreme. Lets not forget the democrats gained more to their squad and lost the socalled moderates, this is not a good scene for the democrats. Martha as you point out, theres a lot of republican pickup in the house and we spoke to the sole g. O. P. Representative from new york, she said shes putting together a squad of her own of those members in the house. Its going to be interesting to see those battles of ideas, good to see you tonight. President trumps covid19 Task Force Says once the vaccine is approved by the fda, the turnaround for americans to receive it could be a matter of days. Assistant hhs secretary overseeing all that is going to join us next, were going to find out if thats true.

Martha a top Georgia Election official has just confirmed that the hand recount of the president ial race is now complete and the results affirmed joe bidens lead over republican president donald trump, that coming from the ap. This despite the addition of several thousand ballots which we just talked about that were found in three separate counties that have not been counted on Election Night but were added to the total for both candidates. The White House Coronavirus task force held its first briefing in months after the United States surpassed 250,000 deaths. The cdc is now encouraging more than 15 million americans who are projected to travel this thanksgiving to stay home, to rethink those plans, as officials stand at the ready to deliver a vaccine. The moment the fda concludes that vaccine is safe and effective, we have a system in place to begin within 24 hours shipping that vaccine to hospitals, health care facilities, and 24 hours after that, literally injecting that vaccine into americans. Martha remarkable, operation warp speed. Joining me now, admiral brett joe thank you so much for being here. This is what joe biden said about the vaccine today and the Distribution Process which we just heard about from the Vice President. One statistic that was raised by the governors, it took eight months to provide 100 million coded tests eight months to provide covert tests just imagine how much more difficult it will be they pointed out if we dont find a more efficient and effective way to provide 330 million vaccinations. Martha how would you respond to that . I would say thats two non sequiturs interrupted by nonsense, comparing testing to vaccination doesnt make any scientific sense. Operation warp speed has its incredible. We have two vaccines that are 95 efficacious that are safe, and that appeared to work in elderly we are going to have tens of millions of doses by the end of the year and the Distribution Process is sound. The top lodges dish and in the u. S. Military with dozens of people working every day, its timed not to the hour, but to the minute. This is going to be effectively distributed, there is a tiered plan, health care workers, elderly, vulnerable, this is going to be done and President Trump has assembled this team, the Vice President has worked on it, weve all worked on at the this is really the light at the end of the tunnel, it will be done effectively. If we do need to transition, the first thing i would tell the Biden Administration is this plan is sound, its going to work and you need to let it wo work. Martha we got two tracks going on right now, their exciting tracks with vaccines and treatments that are becoming more widely distributed as well and the other side of the equation we have these charts that are very difficult and hospitalizations increasing, case numbers at the highest levels weve seen how would you characterize the virus right now in the United States . Is it under control . This is the exact right message the light at the end of the tunnel is here with the vaccine. Its only weeks away, but we are at the most dangerous and critical time of the pandemic that weve been in throughout the entire year weve been battling this. The cases are rising, hospitalizations are going up. Your chances of living are far greater than they were a few months ago, but the deaths are going up because of the numbers of cases and this is why we are so concerned and really urge americans across the country as a doctor did today to please physically distance we are to have to avoid indoor spaces like bars and restaurants and we will have to be careful with the family gatherings and thats what dr. Redfield was talking about today. Martha what do you say to people who feel like they listen to cdc guidance is whole time, weve seen much more mask wearing them weve ever seen this whole process and they feel like they follow the guidelines and its just getting worse, what do you tell them . The guidelines work, the United Kingdom and france have turned it around with these simple measures and keeping schools and businesses open, not a lock down weve done it in arizona, florida, texas, across the deep south. This is what we need to do, this will turn it around. We only have a few more weeks to do this, if we do this we will flatten it, the vaccine will be here and we will protect the vulnerable. Martha people have been patient for so long, you tell them to stay home from thanksgiving, these 50 million who are likely to travel. Speak of the cdc didnt say that, they recommend the safest thing to do is to stay home because there are risks and traveling, if youre going to travel, there are good suggestions on how to be safer in home, please look at the website. Very reasonable, make better choices. Martha admiral giroir, good to see you. For months, parents across the country have pleaded for the end to Remote Learning which by all accounts has been a disaster, they are struggling academically and emotionally but now the mayor and the Teachers Unions say the kids have to go back home, randy white garden joins next. Plus what happens when Governor Cuomo who rode the book on the leadership during covid and hes trying to sell that book right now runs into some tough questions. What are you talking about . Were not going to override we didnt already, thats the law, an orange his own and the red zone, follow the facts. Youre confused. Nd more cities, the unprecedented performance of ultra wideband.

Mom. That was taken at the farm. It was in this small little village. In connemara . Right connemara it is. Honestly, we went there oh, oh look at that look at that. Martha new york city mayor bill de blasio says the science is what led them to close the schools again, shocking parents across new yo new york. What does the science really say about covid19 infections in children . According to the New York Times come out of 16,348 Staff Members and students tested randomly by the School System in the first week of the text regiment, they got back results and were only 28 positives, 20 Staff Members and eight students. According to the citys own data, the Positivity Rate in the schools is around 2 . One headline today raise the question if new York City Schools is closing its schools and not restaurants or gyms, should the parents drop their kids off at a bar . Joined me now, randi weingarten, president of the American Federation of teachers representing 1. 3 million educators and school staff across the country. I know this is obviously a very sensitive issue and i think one of the reasons that weve heard us to follow the scientists. Theres been a study out of Brown University, another study by the atlantic which says essentially the infection rate is 0. 13 among students and 0. 24 among staff. The cdc has recommended that kids stay in school and what weve seen happen in europe and the u. K. Is that what has worked is to keep the schools open. Why the decision to close the schools in new york at this 3 level . The cdc has actually just taken that recommendation you just had off their website, lets see martha that was today, lets play that. K through 12 schools can operate through facetoface learning and they can do it safely and responsibly. The infections weve identified in schools when theyve been evaluated were not acquired in schools, the truth is for kids k12, one of the safest places they can be from our perspective is to remain in school. Martha that was earlier today. I think dr. Redfield is right and i think youd be surprised that i agree with you, i think that we need to be focused on whats going on in terms of communities and in europe, we should be closing bars and restaurants and doing a covid stimulus to make sure they stay in business and of trying to keep schools open. What weve learned and frankly the new york city experience is really important what weve learned is that when you actually do the testing and when you have the safeguards that new york city put in place i remember you and i riffed about this when it first started and i kept pushing for those safeguards when you put them in place, you see that schools are not super spreading events and that is really good. The problem is that schools are not impervious to all that is going on in the outside and what the mayor sought today or the last couple of days is that in Staten Island and other regions of the city, you were seeing a trajectory that was going way up. What mike mulgrew and the uft are saying to the city, begging the city, wearing the mask, get the infection rate down because we want schools martha the schools need to be open is the point. The kids need to be in the schools because what has been decided by the cdc it sounds like the unions doesnt want to the teachers in the classroom and the mayor doesnt want the teachers in the classroom, the parents clearly wants the minute classroom and the cdc wants them in the classroom. Youre not listening to me. What has happened here is that new york city was the only major School District in the nation to actually reopen schools. Martha theyre closing now, why are they closing now . Theyre closing now because what the city said and frankly what lots of other places are also seeing is a huge skyrocketing increase. Martha youre not listening to me, youre not listening to the science. The science says everyone agrees we see a spike, we are in a second wave. You and i totally agree on that. What they are telling us is that the wisest scientific move is to have the children in school because what we are seeing is a tremendous loss of learning, we are seeing kids who are emotionally unstable because they arent in a classroom, they arent seeing their friends and we know from the studies this isnt me saying this, this is Brown University and other studies, the transmission late is very low, its a great news story what happened when you open the schools. The kids made out very well, thats wonderful news, they should stay there. I agree with you, what mike mulgrew and the uft are trying to do is they are trying to figure out a regional way of opening and closing like they did. Martha they dont need to close, thats the point, they dont need to close. There is a number i know dr. Redfield didnt opine directly on new york city and im telling you that they i was surprised that they took that off the website. Martha i dont know why they took it off the website you just heard it out of the directors mouth, he just said it today in reaction to what happened to new york because that is been a huge focus late lately. The Teachers Union sets the 3 threshold, when you hit that its been established by the Teachers Union over the summer in order to reach an agreement to reopen was a 3 threshold. That was actually not true. The mayors at the 3 threshold, what the Teachers Union did in new york city afterwards was to say these are the safeguards that we need and this is the testing we need. The good news story here which you and i agree arm is that when you have that testing and when you have those safeguards, we saw that in new york city the schools were basically safe. The issue now is the rate of increase that was happening from 0. 5 to 3 . Martha even given that, all of these experts and Scientists Say that children are safer in school, its worked across europe and the u. K. , they never close their schools during their second spike and now they are in recovery, they are down 10 and the kids are not missing out. What they did in europe and what they did in new zealand is that they have National Leadership that did math, that actually close the bars including stimulus. Martha given all that, they say they are safer in school. Theyre connected. Martha the numbers are rising, the kids are safer in school. I agree with you, weve been trying to get kids back in school throughout the country and we work in new york city to do it, but we have to get Community Spread down now. Martha ive got to leave it there, new York Governor Andrew Cuomo melting down at a press briefing this week when a wall street journal reporter asked to clarify confusion over who holds the authority to shut down the citys schools and heres what he said.
