Reality is he has not won the presidency with legal votes cast. Right now joe biden is ahead in both the popular vote and in the electoral college. Also right now neither the president nor his campaign have provided any evidence to back up their claims of electoral fraud. Now were starting to see some republicans on capitol hill speak out. Adam kinzinger tweeted quote, we want every vote counted, yes, every legal vote, of course. If you have legit concerns about fraud, present evidence and take it to court. Stop spreading misinformation. This is getting insane. Now the Trump Campaign is trying to find that evidence by setting up a hotline at the campaigns headquarters in arlington, virginia asking supporters to tell us what you are seeing and to report cases of voter suppression, irregularities and the president waits in the white house to see if any of his legal challenges stick. The other big question at this hour is if joe biden does hit 270 today and declares himself to be the winn
Years ago. What it has proven is that a drug can block this virus. Reporter very early results from trials of remdesivir suggest this hiv drug actually might treat covid19. The data shows that remdesivir has a clearcut, significant, positive effect in diminishing the time to recover. This is really quite important. Reporter this is not a cure. In studies touted by dr.

Physicians would probably be reluctant to, if they had other choices, to use something that protected in such a marginally valuable way. But we dont have other choices. For an antiviral to work in a positive way in these very sick patients to me is indeed very good news. Reporter many states in this country now planning to reopen, and soon, despite dire warnings from dr. Fauci for the fall. It is more likely than not that we will see this again and again until we really stick the nail in the coffin of this
Numbers. Well, you really own the want to count deaths by residents. If youre not a resident, thats what were adjusting for right now. Those other people dont matter. First of all, if you have a situation in your midst, it doesnt matter if its coming from residents or nonresidents, but ill tell you what it does explain, why theyre so happy to let the spring breakers go down there and do stupid stuff and go back to states all over the country carrying the virus because they dont care about residents. Late to close, early to open up. Well see. I hop those numbers dont go up for the states who are opening up now, but i got to tell you, it doesnt look good, but i am praying. By the way, your brother was on fire today talking about people politicizing this pandemic. And i think a lot of people agree with him. Thats all ill say. I got to run. I think that its a hard spot. Its a hard spot. No, no, no, take the time. Do your show. Ill be watching. All right. Brother, ill see you later. I love
