Susan Harold Holzers is our second hour about your new book the president s versus press. While i invite people to find the first hour, for those who havent seen it, whats that the jist of your new book .

He tweeted it in lower, sentence case. Thats as close as trump is gonna get to making a concession speech. Hes like a kid slowly realizing nobodys coming to his birthday party. We should never have given him that diet coke button thats hard to give up. This had to put a little crinkle in his tin foil hat. The department of homeland securitys cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency this is one of trumps own cabinet agencies, put out a statement debunking his claims of widespread fraud. They wrote, the november 3rd election was the most secure in american history. And then they took another dig at the boss baby, while we know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about the process of our elections, we can assure you we have the utmost confidence in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should, too. And how did the president react to that statement of reassurance from his own agency . Most fraudulent election in history [ laughter ] [
