they say yes. they say infrastructure among other things. is that an area? i hope so. i think if they re willing it s really going to be on nancy pelosi and the democrats. are they willing do they want to work with the president and then the president has to ask, okay, am i willing to work with a democratic majority. if both sides say yes i think infrastructure is an easy one to get to. i m concerned like in january, january 5th, 2020 elections are going to infect the whole system. we have to be able to say, okay, we don t necessarily care who gets credit, let s just do some big things for the country. i can t believe you say it s going to wait until january 5th. it s actually starting today. we have done two segments on 2020 already here today. the president blamed to a certain extent the loss of some of these house races on some of your house republican colleagues. i want to play for you what he said about mia love from utah. mia love gave me no love and she lost. too
if someone in this lawsuit or someone in this county has evidence of voting fraud or irregularities at the super visor s office, they should report it to their local law enforcement officer. joining us now former republican senator from minnesota norm coleman who lost his seat to al franken after a contentious recount in the 2008 election. sir, good to have you with us this morning. you certainly have a perspective that is important at this point. reliving the nightmare? just what you wanted to do, right? let me say this, you know, even i was up 756 votes on election night. when the machines were certified, november 18th, which is what will happen in florida, i think governor it will be governor desantis, he will be ahead on the machine count, i think it will be beyond the margin that calls for mandatory hand recount so that race should be taken care of. and then the scott race, but
is zero evidence. if they re confident in what the outcome may be why not let it run its course which again as you pointed out and as we all know is triggered by state law, it s mandated. except i actually applaud the fact that they re being vigorous. maybe you can turn down rhetoric, but don t turn down the spotlight. but shouldn t they we open this up to county officials who then in democrat counties they put in tons of votes and republicans they didn t. in the end there were different standards applied in democratic counties than republican counties that went to the benefit opposed of al franken. that race would have been decided different i have no doubt if those uniform standards sunlight is the best disinfectant. tone down rhetoric, but do not tone down intensity and the spotlight in what s happening in those local areas. check out whether there were felons who voted who shouldn t have. i applaud the fact that governor scott is being aggressive and
even the scott race by coleman, norm coleman and dina rossi ran for governor in 2004, was ahead election night, was ahead by ahead by a number of votes, a couple hundred votes, ended up losing by 133 when it was all said and done. the same team doing the rossi race, the coleman race and now doing the florida race on the democratic side, mark rossi, the same attorneys, same team, they are very good with coming up with votes after the election is over, but even by our standards, the numbers are just so great in the race in the scott race, the gillum race that i can t even conceive that there would be any possibility of the results been changed of. any possibility looking at 2.9 in that respect, sir, as with you point out in your view, this is going to work out pretty well in your view for republicans when all is said and done. why, then, are we hearing such rhetoric from the president, from rick scott? there are claims of fraud, there
laws to try to prevent fraud. we had to go to court to force t them to comply with the law which is law is there to prevent fraud. they were not letting party officials review when they were reviewing ballots. you heard the focus on heavily democratic broward county. the counties chief judge turned down the governor s request to impound voting machines. he said i m urging because of the highly public nature of the race to ramp down the rhetoric. if someone in the lawsuit or someone in his county has evidence of voter fraud they should report it to local law enforcement. state officials have denied there s evidence of fraud in broward county or elsewhere in the state. as for any complaints the president may have, it may be worth looking back at hold upw viewed the process when he was a candidate. here he is just a few weeks before the 2016 election.
