date of birth matches a georgia resident who died in 2020. 2,506 ballots were cast by individuals whose name and date of birth matches an incarcerated felony. 4,502 illegal ballots were cast by individuals who do not appear on the states voter rolls. that s january 4th, donald trump, two days before the january 6th attack on the capitol speaking in georgia and making those claims about election fraud in georgia he knew were false, and now a judge says trump and his legal team also knowingly made those false claims in court. that s a problem. we ll have some new reporting on that. plus, an eye opening conversation with pennsylvania democrats. is abortion really a make or break issue for them in the midterms? and should president biden run for reelection? we ll play for you what voters are saying in a new focus group with elise jordan. and when asked if he would vote for trump if he runs for reelection, former vice president mike pence dodges the question and instead, hint at
presidential election and prevent the transfer of presidential power. the election lies. i made it clear i did not agree with the idea of saying the election was stolen and put out, i told the president this was [ bleep ]. the riot. i was slipping in people s blood. it was carnage. it was chaos. and the warning. i say this to my republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible. there will come a day when donald trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain. this morning, i ll talk to one of the members of the january 6th committee, democrat elaine luria. the documentary filmmaker who testified on thursday and the republican congressman who defied his party and voted for an independent commission. turned out to be the only clear evidence that could identify her at the shooting. how about that. gun safety demonstrations, coast to coast. even if democrats and republicans do reach a deal, will the limited changes really make a difference? joining me for ins
the politics of perception. i m michael smerconish in philadelphia. if it were still the economy stupid, then joe biden s presidency would be in much better shape. something else is at play here. yes, inflation is souring americans, but by many measures, the economy is booming. the economy is clearly grow ing. the gross domestic product is up 5.2% in the third quarter, even faster than previousliest mated. if gdp is rising, the economy is considered to be in solid shape and the nation moving forward. the dow jones rallied this week to a new high for the year. wages had been losing ground to inflation for two years, but since may, wages have return to outpacing inflation. and unemployment is at an historic low. the u.s. unemployment rate has been below 4% for 21 straight months, the longest stretch since the late 1960s. how about gas prices? they have fallen or remain ed steady for ten weeks. you barely reed about that, but if they were headed in the other direction, it would
It took place. Did you know at the time about that meet something. No, i didnt know anything about it. It must have been a very important meeting, because i never even heard that. No one told you a word, nothing . I know we talked about this on the plane a bit. No, nobody told me. Sounded like a very unimportant meeting. Deep cuts there from haberman and schmidt.

I wouldnt have even remembered it until you start scouring through the stuff. The president said he became aware of it very recently, right before this came out, and thats when he was notified. Joining me now is jeff
