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.
