Defense which is not crazy to think because if you turn on trump tv every day, youll see them covering reopen the country and let us work protest all over the u. S. And so, you can understand why Governor Kemp would think there is some Great American awakening happening as he sees americans on his tv screen rise up to say lets get back out to work and sacrifice our bodies to the virus in pursuit of economic growth. Guess what . There is not. That is not where the American People are at at all. We live in an extremely polarized country where americans are split on just about everything. Everything except the need to take drastic precautions to stem the spread of the coronavirus. Polling by huff post shows despite the president s bluster and all the talk on trump tv the need to socially distance have been strikingly consistent over the past month.

Lets get back out to work and sacrifice our bodies to the virus in pursuit of economic growth. Well, guess what . There is not. That is not where the American People are at at all. We live in an extremely pol polarized country where americans are split on just about everything. Everything except the need to take drastic traugfstic precautp the spread of coronavirus. Despite the president s bluster and all the talk on rightwing tv and talk radio americans attitudes about the need to socially distance have been strikingly consistent over the past month. Look at the pink line. 36 of americans are very concerned that they or a Family Member will contract the virus. That line is almost the same as it was at the end of march.

We should judge it on whether or not it accelerates Climate Change. This is the dirtiest oil on the planet. Or whether it helps the American People with their energy costs and their gas prices. We dont need to do this. It pits the president against some in his own party. A few democrats told me they will vote yes. Mary landrieu says she can break the filibuster. This is about the Big Oil Companies and their influence right now on the congress. Vote, baby, vote. Hours ago, in a vote not a veto.

Polls. Thats rudy guiliani, if i am screaming, please accept my apologies for that. It is really loud here. Hes been pressing of phony messages from donald trump. I did speak to one source close to the campaign who raised some eye brows about that. The message of donald trump started to push hard on saturday of the gettisburg address of washington corruption. There is a sense where that is an effective message for him of these final 15 days. Halie, i know it is loud there. I heard somebody talking to me here. Thanks so much. Well come back to you as soon as we see donald trump taking that stage and if hes making some news there. Lets switch over to the Clinton Campaign now. She was in New Hampshire helping out the democrats trying to offset the incumbent, the republican leader up there. Senator Elizabeth Warren, one of trumps critics, she proved that.
