We are all fighting to bring you in, got it hey Geraldo. What do you make of this hi and then we are doing the recount in Georgia? Do you think this will make a difference? What will we get out of this Geraldo? Probably not the differences, but listen, this category of votes arriving late and deemed unilaterally by the Secretary of state to be to be qualified, even if they arrive six days after the election. It is a big enough category that it is one of those systematic problems that Jonathan Turley and I tried to warn against last week. These are the kinds of errors, the big hunks of errors that might make a difference. In this case, this is ten thousand votes. They say that are segregated. We dont know which way they would have gone
mail order. Ballots tended to favor Joe Biden lets assume that all ten thousand were for Joe Biden. That would reduce the fifty four thousand vote margin more or less in Pennsylvania to forty four thousand. That is still Hurculian task to surmount to win back forty four thousand votes there. Eleven thousand in Arizona similar amount in Georgia goes on and on. These are daunting tasks, and I just I ask two things of the president. I ask that he be begin. This planning, in his own mind, to leave with grace and dignity, celebrating the fact that hes, probably the most successful one term president. Ever he remade the court. He remade the economy. He got us out of international deals that were detrimental to the american people. He has so much to celebrate. Let him go out with grace and dignity that would be wonderful and won again in twenty twenty four. He would be the strongest republican by far n the meantime in Georgia. He will go
down to Georgia after Thanksgiving and he will win the two runoffs down there. Two. I want him to start thinking that this process, as tight as it is and agonizingly close as it is, has a shelf life that runs a certain amount of time. There has to be a certification by the state by certain date, certify the vote, and then we will have officially 46th president of the United States. You know and let let things proceed by their constitutional, natural natural course Brian, and if things are Brian and if things are proceeding, it will be a Biden, administration, Elizabeth Warren, typed editorial. The lesson is clear: bold policies to improve opportunity. Voters recognize reforms are necessary to fix whats broken in the nation. Republican leaders. Cant acknowledge the election outcome
and grind Congress to a halt. Lots of big changes that a Biden Harris Administration can achieve through executive orders on day one. You know Elizabeth Warren and how she profiles. What do you think she had in mind? Geraldo Geraldo, what she has in mind: regulation of banks and drain the rich kinds of action: Brian Environment Geraldo. I dont credit as Treasury Secretary nor Bernie Sanders as labor secretary, for the simple reason that the two Democrats have states where there are republican governors. If they leave to take cabinet positions, theyll be replaced by republican governors by anybody. The republican governors suggest- and I would suggest to you that at least one of two republican governors pick a Republican to replace Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders tilting the Senate lead even even more toward Mitch Mcconnell,
I dont credit them and, I think, more broadly, in the in the sober light of day, when you look at what the election had to say, what this election had to say is that the american people, particularly among the most conservative of the american people, the Latinos, detest socialism. They dont want socialism like they had back home in Venezuela or Nick ago or Nicaragua. They want the chance to be all they are capable of being they hate socialism they need cops. The whole movement to defund cops is, is one thats ridiculous, Joe Manchin, who, even if some miracle the Democrats win both seats in Georgia, he Joe Manchin will not go along with packing the court. He has said as much chuck. Schumer loses an ally right there. If he attempts to expand, the Supreme Court of the United States governing will be a lot harder for these folks than campaigning ever was
Steve sure. The election was harder than ever before because of the pandemic and without a doubt the coronavirus impacted everyone in some major there were so many mail in ballots this time and thats. Why theres so many complaints from many on different political sides and, right now you look at the infection rate and its approaching the stage Geraldo. It sounds like they may shut schools down again and its a bleak thanksgiving for a lot of people. Nonetheless, on the view Joey Bayhard had this observation about what is going on with the president and the pandemic. It occurs to me that Trump is so evil. At this point, I really think hes evil. I think he absolutely relishes the idea that things are getting worse and its going to be on Bidens lap. I really think he likes that thats how sick he is Steve Geraldo. Do you think the
president wants it to get bad to? It looks bad for Joe Geraldo. I I feel sorry for Joey to make a statement like that ive known her forever. The cynicism there is dripping with venom. I really dont like it at all to wish evil at the country to get back at political rival, the rival being the president of the United States. I think its awful, I think the president having suffered it, having recovered having his wife and son both infected now having so many of his key allies in and around the White House infected. It is something that he lives with, not to mention the fact that it is the pandemic that defeated him. He ran not against Joe Biden. He ran against this. This insidious epidemic thats affected the four corners of the world and he could be just vulnerable enough for some suburban voters to swallow distaste for the Democrat and jump that way. It is terrible timing.
The fact that Dr Fauci a couple of weeks ago, oh a vaccine, will not make life regular until two thousand and twenty two, for goodness sake and Dr Fauci is saying the vaccine will change everything wait until we get our hands on it before the end of the year. We will start vaccinating people and kumbaya. The world will be swell again, maybe its all of the fact that before President Trump lived, the moat embattled presidency, the most evil way possible by the mainstream media against him. The pornographic pollsters that had voter suppression polls that had people away from voting because they didnt think their candidate had a chance like Wisconsin. He was down by seventeen according to the latest polls. You know things like that really have to be reassessed, and otherwise we may never have another republican president. If mail in ballots become a
thing where voters need no effort to cast the ballot, all they have to do, they get the mail and some party boss from the block comes walking around and say you know Jack. Did you get your ballot? Did you fill it out right? Let me mail this down and goes with a pack of one hundred of them, representing his block thats. The way politics used to be done when the dead used to vote twice in Cook County in Chicago. When I was a younger man, theres some real election reform that has to take place, but if mail in ballots become a thing, I think the Republican Party is going to be like the dinosaur. We are going to be extinct, Ainsley all right, Geraldo. Thank you! So much for joining us, Geraldo, okay, Ainsley on that.
