Gillian the good news, were hearing from the reporters on the ground this morning, so far everybody is cool, calm and collected. Leland, you mentioned there are some counterprotesters there, some probiden folks, people arent fighting as far as we have seen. Theyre not yelling at one another, nobody is threatening anybody else. So that is all very, very good news. We could also hear from President Trump himself at this rally and he said yesterday on twitter, he was thinking about making an appearance. If we know President Trump, which we do at this point he did actually earlier. Drove through the crowd in the motorcade. Were hoping well hear him talk. You might hear him talk. Hes at his golf course, one would think if wed see him get out of the motorcade thered be more preparation from the secret service. We dont want to set expectations too high. The president said he might stop by. It was more of a driveby or drivethru. Always raining on the parade, just kidding. But for now, weve got rich edson in the middle of the crowd. Rich, if we can hear you and you can hear us, what are you seeing and hearing . Whats going on on the ground . Yeah, good afternoon, gillian and leland. What weve got here is a load of Trump Supporters who are hanging out right now in the middle of Freedom Plaza. This is, as you mentioned right around the corner from the white house, down the block from the Capitol Building on pennsylvania avenue. The official program just started a short bit ago. The trump mode cade did drive through, did a little lap before the president went out to his golf course in virginia. This rally is a product of several groups and hash tags, names like women for trump, maga, and stop the steal. The women for trump have the programs, well have congresswoman louie gohmert. And theyre trying to organize the group to go a mile and a half up to the Capitol Building and the Supreme Court. For the last few hours, theyve been life Live Streaming and four more years. And many are picking up that the election was stolen, no proof of that. The d. C. Police are monitoring and the city closed down the perimeter. You have passionate people and trump flags and the like and steadily streaming in and police here. And also supposed to be counter protests weve seen scheduled online and havent been that many of them. Weve had folks come down with biden flags and this is the district of columbia, voted overwhelmingly from biden and harris. And from what weve seen all has been peaceful. Back to you guys. Gillian rich, if you can stick with us for a second. I want you to double down something i heard you say earlier for neil, which is good news for all of us who live here in washington, not a lot of violence, not a lot of threats, not a lot of sort of agitators in this crowd that youve seen. Is that right . Is that now holding a couple hours later . Thats what weve seen. Gillian, what we have here, this is the basis of the protest so Freedom Plaza is an open plaza in the middle of pennsylvania avenue right around the corner from the white house. So that plaza right now is filled with Trump Supporters. They have the d. C. The government has closed down Downtown Washington so youve had some different groups of people who sort of walked off or Walking Around the downtown area. We dont have too much visibility on them we dont know whats going on three or four blocks from here. But the main part weve seen downtown, we havent seen any sense of violence. You hear some of the talk, but a few biden supporters who have come down here, almost sound like two fans from two different baseball teams going at each other from an away game. But nothing thus far escalated to violence and youve got u. S. Park police and the metropolitan Police Department, who have a very solid presence here. Were looking i know its hard to see, but youre looking at a camera, up, a down on the Freedom Plaza and the crowd continues to grow and pack in. What do these folks want . I get the stop the steal, but whats the second half of the question. It seems reasonable people can agree that its more than likely that joe biden is going to be inaugurated on january 20th. Is it that they really believe that President Trump will get a second term or complain that things arent fair . Yes, what youve got here is youve got a lot of different comments regarding that. Youve had some biden supporters and Trump Supporters going back and forth. Often what youll hear is that the media does not call these elections. Basically, what youre hearing from the white house is what youre hearing from some of the supporters, and even though you have a situation where the government vote totals now, they havent been certified, but the vote totals that politicians have been using, democrat and republican, to declare victory this year, and for decades prior to this, show that joe biden has won this election, but youve still got folks here who are saying, somehow, some way theres going to be an intervention, whether theres an unfounded claim that theres been Election Fraud or for the president and four more consecutive years for the preds, but youve just got a lot of support for President Trump. This feels a lot like a rally you would have attended a couple of weeks ago before the election happened. Its a lot of support. A partylike atmosphere in many ways and you cant say that the folks here are downtrodden or feel like its been defeat. It feels like something. I was at a trump rally in North Carolina the week before the election, a similar vibe. Two weeks before that, was in florida and wisconsin. All the same. Very consistent feeling and youve got that down here today and youve still got people scre streaming into this rally. I think it was supposed to start at noon. People started gathering hours before then and they are still walking into Freedom Plaza. Leland rich edson down on the ground. Screen right. The stream left is over Freedom Plaza in an overflow situation. Rich, well check back with you. And see if you can see where some of these folks are from . 92, 39 of the d. C. Area voted for President Trump so a lot of folks in from out of town and well get a better feel on that in the coming hours, rich. Thank you very much. As rich mentioned, President Trump did make his promised stop by, it was a little bit of a driveby. You can see the motorcade. This was taken by the press pool, which travels with the president so they would have left the south lawn of the white house, and then come through this area here, which is on the east side of the white house. Only about a block or two away and this was about 10 30 this morning as the president is on his way out to play golf. And you can see his crowd of quite enthusiastic group of supporters. We have some video on the ground as well. People running along and cheering and chanting with the motorcade. Unclear if the president is going to make another driveby when he comes back this afternoon, but weve seen no preparations for any kind of speech or any kind of remarks by the president or coming out and saying hello. Its a little reminiscent, gillian, of the drive from walter reed when he left walter reed, he was there because of covid and waved out the window. I was also thinking looking at the president s motorcade driving through the crowds, it looks a lot like inauguration day, you know. Leland the crowds are better controlled on inauguration day. Gillian and secret service, but to richs point these guys are not downtrodden that their guy lost. Theyre excited and happy about President Trump and are here to support him. Leland well, they definitely are and we bring in david spunt now on the north lawn of the white house. This might give us an idea how loud the chant is, can you hear those from Freedom Plaza . Faintly. But theres a lot of construction for the reviewing stand for president elect biden and his family. And that goes on regardless. So youre hearing construct. In the distance you can hear faint excitement for the large group. Theyre going to be leaving Freedom Plaza and marching to the Supreme Court and thats away from the white house and were not going to hear as much of that. President trump went through the crowd earlier today excited on his way to golf. Theres a video of the president smiling, giving the thumbs up as he passed by and several staffers retweeting, tweets about this massive really going on right now in washington d. C. Some calling it the million maga march. As i mentioned, the president is golfing at his club in Northern Virginia and at this point there are still no plans to concede. No hint of any concession. Leland, yesterday he came out on camera in the rose garden to speak for the first time in eight days, thats the longest time that weve seen him since hes been president not get in front of the camera and talked about operation warped speed, spurred by his administration. The good news he says that vaccine will be available to the masses by april and while talking about the vaccine he singled out new york and the states governor, andrew cuomo. Listen here. He doesnt trust the fact that its this white house, this administration. So, we wont be delivering it to new york until we have authorization to do so and that pains me to say that. This is a very successful, amazing vaccines at 90 and more, but so the governor, Governor Cuomo will have to let us know when hes ready for it. But Governor Cuomo and his team not taking it sitting down there. Latisha james the attorney general for new york put out a statement immediately following the predss comments, if dissemination of the vaccines takes place in the twilight of the administration and the president wants to play games with peoples lives, we will sue and win and she says this is nothing, but vindictive behavior by a lame duck president , trying to extract vengeance and those who with his politics. And general kelly put out a harsh statement the president is putting the country in danger because hes not allowing joe biden to receive classified briefings, basically so he can hit the ground running. The trump team continuing some legal fights although theyre over in pennsylvania and arizona, but even if President Trump does not concede and general kelly said he doesnt have to concede, it goes on. Life goes on and this inauguration stand goes on and the new President Biden will be inaugurated on january 20th. Well see if the president comes by on his way back from golf. Probably they will be closer to the Supreme Court. So we may see the motorcade go by there and those folks are able to see President Trump and hes able to see his supporters on a Beautiful Day in washington. Leland and gillian. Gillian keep an eye on the president s twitter account. With that we. Leland with that we bring in erin perrine. We heard from david, no plans to concede. And whats the path to 270. There are no certified results and battles counted acro ballots counted across the country and make sure that we count legal votes and not illegal votes. Leland i understand that. Can i finish that statement. Leland weve heard that talking point. Go through the vote totals, in georgia the president is currently behind and theres recount there and people say they dont think theyll change even republican officials there. Pennsylvania the president is behind by tens of thousands of votes even if you win the lawsuits it doesnt count those and wouldnt make up for the difference. Nevada the president is behind. Arizona the president is far behind even though your Campaign Said last week, the president would be ahead. Wisconsin the president is behind as well. What states are the president is the president going to pull ahead in . Well, leland, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to speak. It seems youre not keen to let that happen today. Let talk about pennsylvania, there are almost 700,000 votes in pennsylvania that were counted in opposition to the constitution. And an actual egregious error where they violated. No, youre going to let me finish. The equal amendments clause of the constitution in pennsylvania. And michigan, lets have a conversation about that state as well. You have video from fox news, of individuals boarding up the windows again, in violation of the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment of the constitution. Leland hold on. You keep saying hold on. Leland youve talked more than i have. No, no. Leland the question and then you get to talk. You have to answer, the first time what do you want to have happen with 700,000 votes. The ballots are mixed in. Thats the courts have the question on we want to make sure that conversation happens. Youre trying to say this is done and over. The media. Leland im not. Done and over and what were saying. Leland where are they going to find the votes to pull ahead . The legal path forward this is now my third time to try to get this answer out. The legal path is ahead here, the and the keep making your faces and rolling your eyes, leland, i get it, i get it, youre trying to and its simple, what happens. The hypocrisy since you know what. Leland how does the president pull ahead . And everyone says that this is over for us, thats ridiculous. What do you want to happen with the vote leland, thats up for the court to decide, but we should be able to to have the conversation about those. Youre trying to say this is done and over. Leland nobody is trying to say that. You guys keep saying president elect. Leland i dont know who you guys are. You and i are you guys. Leland im trying to have a conversation. Im erin per rini. Leland where are the votes on the path to 270, where . Were taking every legal avenue that exists. Leland okay. In these states to make sure that legal votes are counted and illegal votes are counted. Here is a very for you leland for every democrat and talking head on the news, how much fraud is okay, how many dead people can vote and youre okay with it, and how many times they vote and youre okay with it, its a question, and we want to protect the. Leland and you guys, who youre and who are you lumping, you guys. The media. Leland the media in general and just attack everybody if ne dont agree with you. And no, thats not what, im sorry thats just not working for you. Leland i understand where you want to go with this. Thank you, we appreciate your time. Gillian. Always.

Youre looking there at live pictures of Freedom Plaza. Its right here in Downtown Washington d. C. Now what youre seeing are thousands, maybe tens of thousands of Trump Supporters turning out in full force this weekend. This is an maga rally style event in support of the president. Most of these folks have been long time supporters of him throughout the administration and now, they are in lockstep with him moving forward as he pursues ballot recounts in multiple states. All right, president elect joe biden meanwhile is spending his weekend in rohobeth beach, delaware and his cabinet is lining up his cabinet, in two months hell have them lined up for the senate, all of these people have to be confirmed. And our report says that biden may be announcing his picks before thanksgiving. Hillary vaughan join us live with the short list, hi, hillary. Hi, gillian, president elect joe biden was spotted riding his pike earlier and riding his bike and told the pool hes closer to who would be in the positions. Are you closer to making cabinet positions . Yes. And biden is going over cabinet pixel be ready to announce before thanksgiving, but fox news is learning that bidens biggest decision is who to pick for vekt of secretary of state. And top picks, susan rice, president obamas favorite right now. And chris coons, a long time friend and delaware resident is pushing for that role and senator chris murphy from connecticut is also an option on the list. While the president elect tries to decide who to choose for his cabinet progressives are encouraging him to pack it with progressives. Theyre not stopping there. A group aligned with senator warren sent a 400name list of recommendations to bidens Transition Team to throughout his administration and throughout his cabinet and the Sunrise Movement is chiming in, with their wish list. They want Rashida Tlaib as hud secretary and an hhs secretary and senator warren as treasury secretary. But the short list warrens name is not on it. Janet yellins name is top on the list. And they tell me no new personnel decision has been made for the position, but eid for treasury secretary includes fed governor lyle braynard and roger ferguson. During the campaign, president elect joe biden promised to bring normalcy back to t white house and were getting an idea what that would look like.
