Speaker 0: You can run the best campaign. You can even become the nominee, and you can have the election stolen from you.
Speaker 1: How can you win with Russian interference, though?
Speaker 2: That's what we'll say.
Speaker 1: About it
Speaker 2: in 2020. But rightly.
Speaker 1: Because I think you're the illegitimate president that didn't really win. So do you, you know, fight against that in 2020?
Speaker 2: You are absolutely right.
Speaker 3: He is an illegitimate president in
Speaker 4: my mind.
Speaker 5: Would you be my vice president to a candidate?
Speaker 6: Folks, look. I absolutely agree.
Speaker 4: Trump didn't actually win the election in 2016. He lost the election, and he was put in the office Because the Russians interfere.
Speaker 0: Trump knows he's an illegitimate president.
Speaker 5: The president elect, although legally elected, is not legitimate. I
Speaker 7: don't see this President-elect as a legitimate president.
Speaker 8: You said you believe that Russia's interference Alter the outcome of the election.
Speaker 2: I do. We have a president who, if in fact it is proven, has been assisted by the that may in fact not be a legitimate president.
Speaker 0: The one thing that Trump is fearful of, when it comes to his being president is that Finally, we will see how illegitimate his victory actually was.
Speaker 8: I have an objection.
Speaker 3: I object to the 15 votes from the state of North Carolina. I object because people are horrified.
Speaker 0: He's an illegitimate president.
Speaker 2: Do you believe Trump is a legitimate president?
Speaker 9: What I believe is that there's no question that the outcome of this election was affected by the Russian interference.
Speaker 4: But there absolutely is a cloud of illegitimacy.
Speaker 5: So that legitimacy is in question. Yes. So that was a very tainted election, and and in that sense, It's illegitimate.
Speaker 2: Why do you think the president is going to such great lengths to essentially prove that he beat you?
Speaker 0: Because he knows he didn't. He knows he's an illegitimate president.
Speaker 10: Stolen emails. Stolen drone. Stolen drone. Stolen election. Welcome to the world of Unprecedented Trump.
Speaker 1: So do
Speaker 11: you believe president Trump is an illegitimate president?
Speaker 4: Based on what I just said, which I can't retract.
Speaker 5: The Russian attempt to to have the election. And, frankly, the FBI is weighing in on the election. I think Make the make makes his election illegitimate.
Speaker 0: There was a widespread understanding that this election was not on the level. We Still don't know what really happened, Isaac. I mean, there's just a lot that I think will be revealed. History will discover. But you don't win by 3,000,000 votes and have all this other shenanigan stuff going on and not come away with an idea like, woah.
Things not right here.
Speaker 9: The outcome of the election was affected by their interference. And now we need to know, you know, to what degree, if any, the Trump Campaign was actually in collusion with the with
Speaker 0: with Russia. He knows he's an illegitimate president. So, of course, he's obsessed with me, and I believe that it's a guilty conscience.
Speaker 6: We actually won the last presidential election, folks. They stole the last presidential election.
Speaker 5: If Al Gore won that election, I think he won anyway.
Speaker 11: Actually, I think I carried Florida.
Speaker 0: Bush versus Gore. A court took away a presidency.
Speaker 12: If all the votes were counted in Florida, then Al Gore would be president today and George Bush would be backing off.
Speaker 13: I come from Florida, where you and others participated in what I call the United States
Speaker 4: There's no doubt in my mind that Al Gore was elected president.
Speaker 14: I rise to object to the fraudulent 25 Florida electoral votes.
Speaker 15: I must object because of the overwhelming evidence of official misconduct, delivery fraud, and an attempt The chairman
Speaker 11: must provide
Speaker 15: on it.
Speaker 3: Signed by myself on behalf of my diverse constituents and the millions of Americans who have been disenfranchised by Florida's inaccurate vote count. The Supreme Court, not the
Speaker 16: people of the United States, decided this election.
Speaker 2: Speaking to a Democratic group in Chicago Tuesday, he made it clear He thinks Al Gore was the winner.
Speaker 17: For the time it was over, our candidate had won the popular vote, and the only way they could win the election was to stop the voting in Florida.
Speaker 6: Catherine Harris, Jeb Bush, Jim Baker, and the Supreme Court hadn't tampered with the results. Al Gore would be president.
Speaker 9: The Supreme Court elected president. Al Gore won the state of Florida in 2000, although not the presidency.
Speaker 12: But the Supreme Court hampered that's a large chart. The Supreme Court stopped the counting of the votes, and if let the count go on. Elkhart would've got the necessary vote.
Speaker 13: The Supreme Court selected George w Bush As the president, he was not elected.
Speaker 3: There is overwhelming evidence that George w Bush did not win this election.
Speaker 18: What I observed, as a voter, a citizen of Illinois, 4 years ago were troubling evidence of the fact that not every vote was being counted.
Speaker 4: Don't think That George W. Bush won the election, in 2000 against our goal because I I think he probably lost Florida and also that nationwide.
Speaker 12: If you invite me back on this show in about 8 weeks, I think you're gonna learn that El Gore actually did get all the votes
Speaker 19: The court has been thwarting formation of the popular will, the most spectacular example being Bush versus Gore, where the majority by a five four vote and joined the counting of more than a 100,000 ballots in Florida and essentially gave America its 1st court appointed president.
Speaker 6: And stolen. I think in 2000, everybody thought, well, he did win the election. It'll go work.
Speaker 13: After the election, when you stole action. You came back here and said, get over it. No. We're not gonna get over it.
Speaker 6: You know it. I know it. They know it. We won that election.
Speaker 20: Constantly shifting vote tallies in Ohio and malfunctioning electronic machines, which may not have paper receipts have led to additional loss of confidence by the public.
Speaker 7: The right to vote has been Stolen from qualified voters.
Speaker 14: In 2004, the democratic process was thwarted.
Speaker 6: The 2004 presidential election in Ohio was riddled with problems.
Speaker 3: Some machines malfunctioned, causing votes to be counted more than once or not at all.
Speaker 21: Based upon an inordinate number of suggesting gross voting rights violations and misconduct. I join with my colleagues believed
Speaker 11: an objective to counting the state of Ohio's electoral votes. As in 2000, the votes of many who wanted to vote were not, in fact, counted.
Speaker 22: This last Friday night, I I arranged to meet senator Kerry at a fundraiser to give him a copy of my book. He told me he now thinks the election was stolen.
Speaker 23: The wife of John Kerry said she has lingering doubts doubts about the legitimacy of the election. Her theory goes like this. 2 brothers, she calls hard right Republicans, own 80% of voting machines in the US. Therefore, it would be easy to hack into the mother machines that control the electronic voting.
Speaker 2: There were numerous Irregularities in Ohio, including large percentages of rejections of provisional balloting, problems with voting machines.
Speaker 0: As we look at our election system. I think it's fair to say that there are many legitimate questions about its accuracy, about its Tegrity.
Speaker 20: There are still legitimate concerns over the integrity of our elections.
Speaker 6: I agree with tens of 1,000,000,000 of Americans who are very worried that when they cast the ballot on an electronic voting machine, that there is no paper trail To record that vote.
Speaker 7: The numerous irregularities that occurred with the electronic voting machines in Ohio on November 2nd of last year point to an unresolved national crisis.
Speaker 3: We cannot declare that the election of November 2, 2000 and was free and clear and transparent and real. There must be independent testing of the voting machines used in Ohio.
Speaker 24: I'm not confident that the election in Ohio was fairly decided. We know that there was substantial voter suppression, and the machines were not reliable.
Speaker 20: Of congress who have brought this challenge are speaking up for their aggrieved constituents, many of whom may have been enfranchised in this process.
Speaker 11: Treating today's electoral vote count in congress as a meaningless ritual would be an insult to our unless we register our own protest against the obviously flawed voting process that took place in so many of our states.
Speaker 25: Voters who wish to cast a Vote for president or vice president. Can't approach the polls with certainty that their vote will be counted.
Speaker 26: One of the most significant problems in Ohio And in many other states was a lack of measures to ensure the integrity of electronic voting machines.
Speaker 8: In 2004, They caused Democratic voters in Ohio to wait for 8 hours before they could cast their ballot. They turned the department of civil rights of the justice department into the voter suppression division with voter ID laws, voter purging, voter caging, voter intimidation. There aren't gonna be any more election stealing.
Speaker 16: And despite the final tally and the inauguration and the situation we find result that I do have one very affirmative statement to make.
Speaker 23: We won.
Speaker 2: Without voter suppression, Stacey Abrams would be the governor of Georgia. Andrew Gillum is the governor of Florida. You refuse to concede and say that you lost. Do you stand by that decision today? Absolutely.
The election was not fair. The process was not fair.
Speaker 6: If Stacey Abrams doesn't win in Georgia, they stole it. It's clear. It's clear.
Speaker 18: I think that Stacey Abrams' election is being stolen from her.
Speaker 16: It was not a free and fair election.
Speaker 10: Brian Kemp stole the gubernatorial election from Georgians and Stacey Abrams.
Speaker 16: But will I say that this This election was not tainted, was not a disinvestment and a disenfranchisement of thousands of voters. I will not say that.

Speaker 2: Based on what I just said was I can't for Trump.
Speaker 6: He tweeted in February 2018, quote, the more we learn about 2016 election, the more illegitimate it becomes. America deserves to know whether we have a fake president in the Oval Office.
Speaker 3: And The rest in attempt to to have the election. And frankly, the FBI is weighing in on the election. I think make the make it makes this election illegitimate.
Speaker 1: There was a widespread Understanding that this election was not on the level. We still don't know what really happened, Isaac. I mean, there's just a lot that I think will Be revealed, history will discover, but you don't win by 3,000,000 votes and have all this other shenanigans stuff going on and not come away with An idea like, woah, something's not right here.
Speaker 5: Seems to me that there's a cloud of illegitimacy that continues to hang Over 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Speaker 1: with the Russia? He knows he's an illegitimate president. So of course, he's obsessed That's with me. And I believe that it's a guilty conscience.
Speaker 2: We actually won the last presidential election, folks. They stole And Al Gore won that election. I think he won anyway. Actually, I think I carried Florida. Al Gore won the election nationwide Also in Florida, but the Supreme Court ruled the other way.
Al Gore got more votes, but not enough to stay out of the Supreme Court where president Bush was elected five four.
Speaker 1: Bush versus Gore. A court took away a presidency.
Speaker 2: If all the votes were tallied in Florida, Adele Gold would be president today and George Bush would be back in office.
Speaker 0: I come from Florida where you and others participated in what I call The United States coup d'etat.
Speaker 6: In 2013, according to reports, vice president Joe Biden, he claimed that Al Gore was The one who was elected president. And he claimed that the recount result was, quote, a bad decision.
Speaker 2: And never forget, dear friends, what they did in Florida to Al Gore and me, to all of us, to older Americans, to African Americans, to Haitian Americans Deny the right to vote and have those votes counted.
Speaker 8: I do believe that projections were right in the 1st place at 7 o'clock when they called
Speaker 1: it before. Let me tell you without a doubt. George Bush did not carry Florida and it was not closed.
Speaker 2: There's no question that you won Oh, thank you, Charles. No. It's a question.
Speaker 4: That's a question.
Speaker 2: We will never know because The votes weren't weren't counted. But but and and then in your judgment I mean, that's unfortunate. And there is no other way of saying Let's be very blunt. Al Gore won the state of Florida in 2000, and we should never Forget it. Most Americans or great many Americans don't have confidence that the election of 2000 was fair.
Speaker 8: But I don't believe we lost that. I believe we just failed to have all of the votes counted
Speaker 4: The Supreme Court elected president. In 2004. Yeah. Al Gore won the state of Florida in 2000, although not the presidency.
Speaker 3: We know we won this election. They know we won this election. And Americans know we won this election.
Speaker 7: I know some people want you to believe that the Gore Campaign was a campaign that wasn't able to complete its mission. We did. Had all of
Speaker 0: those votes been found in Florida,
Speaker 8: I
Speaker 7: think Al Gore would be president on today.
Speaker 2: We had more votes. We won, and we are never going to let the United States Supreme Court choose the president of the United Takes the care. You should know by now based on the fact that he lost the popular vote by more than a half 1000000 voters, And we don't know how many he lost to buy in Florida. There's no doubt in my mind that Al Gore was elected president.
Speaker 9: I rise to Object to the fraudulent 25 Florida electoral votes.
Speaker 2: Really, we won the election in 2000, but they stole the election. I must object because of the overwhelming evidence of overwhelming evidence of official misconduct, deliberate fraud, and an attempt to The chairman has provided Imran had already Helped the Bush team with such favors as burying their rent a mob to Florida in 2000 to permanently halt of the counting of legally cast ballots. It is
Speaker 7: signed by myself on behalf of my diverse constituents and the millions of Americans who have been disenfranchised by Florida's inaccurate vote counts to Supreme Court not to speak with
Speaker 4: the United States despite of this election.
Speaker 1: Speaking to a Democratic group in Chicago, he said he made it clear he thinks Al Gore was the winner.
Speaker 2: The time it was over, our candidate won the popular vote. And the only way that could win the election was to stop the voting and fraud it. Catherine Harris, Jeb Bush, Jim Baker and the Supreme Court hadn't tampered with the results, l Gore would be. President? I think that the issue before us today, is not who won or should have won the 2000 presidential election.
That issue has been settled not to my opinion, but it has been settled. Let's just drop the vice president president or not. Al Gore should have been president of the United States.
Speaker 10: Al Gore, made it possible for George Bush to be The only appointed president in the history of these United States.
Speaker 6: Democrats have won the past 3 presidential elections. In two
Speaker 2: 1,000 unions turned out 25% of the vote and Al Gore won. But the Supreme Court hampered? That's a large The Supreme Court stopped the counting of votes, and if they've left the council on, Al Gore would've got the necessary votes.
Speaker 0: The Supreme Court selected tent. George w Bush
Speaker 2: as the president. He was not elected. There is overwhelming evidence that George w Bush did not win this Election.
Speaker 3: What I observed, as a voter, as a citizen of Illinois, 4 years ago were troubling evidence of the fact that not every vote was being counted. Don't think that George w Bush won the election, in 2000 against our goal because I I think he he probably lost Florida and also the nationwide.
Speaker 2: If you invite me back on this show
Speaker 3: in about 8 weeks, I
Speaker 2: think you're gonna learn that No, Roy. I think you get all the votes there. I felt what happened in Florida was a carefully worked out conspiracy. That many things could not go wrong in one state Without there having been a conspiracy, and many, many different things did go wrong. Many tricks were pulled of various kinds.
Speaker 8: The vice president did win, but, And I do believe that the majority of voters that intended to to go to polls last year wanted to vote and cast their votes for Al Gore. I do believe that in in in terms of Florida as well.
Speaker 2: The court has been supporting formation of the popular will. The most spectacular example being Bush versus Gore, where the majority by a five For a vote and joined the counting of more than a 100,000 ballots in Florida and essentially gave America its 1st court appointed president. A stolen citizen is naked and stolen. Even though Al Gore won the election, he won't take office.
Speaker 11: That election was stolen from of the rightful winner. So, mister speaker, I'm here today to talk about a stolen presidential election.
Speaker 2: I think in 2000, everybody Talk. Well, he did win the election out of the war. He started dividing America here in Florida By trying to take an election that I think any reasonable person would say he hadn't Actually, one.
Speaker 0: What happened in Florida will go down in history As a coup d'etat.
Speaker 2: Could we conclude, is it possible There was a conspiracy, and Florida officials were involved in the conspiracy. Never have so many things gone It's too wrong in one place before. Why how do all these things happen all at the same time in the same state? It is not as possible if there was a conspiracy that was very well organized. Why was the state police out there on that Today, election day, checking license plates and and so forth.
You know, how did all these things happen in 1 state at one time in 1 election? Is is it possible that Use the word conspiracy and not be afraid of it.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure wish Gore was president right now. He should be.
Speaker 2: Well, yes, he got elected. Well done. A battle that by the will of the people should have ended in victory. But tens thousands of Florida votes either were not counted or tossed down in the 2000 presidential election. 5 supreme court justices.
You've trumped the votes of 51,000,000 Americans. We should've let the entire state be reconned so it was clear, that Al Gore actually won the state of Florida.
Speaker 0: And Al War won the election.
Speaker 2: We had the election stolen from us. You must admit that. They stole it, And we need a leader to help us get revenge.
Speaker 6: I voted for Al Gore. He won the election.
Speaker 2: They usurped the the powers as far as being put in it and intervene. It was With the fix as far as we're concerned, you know, it's it's there's no polite way to talk about it except the fix was in.
Speaker 0: After the election, when you stole Hold the election. You came back here and say, get over it. No. We're not gonna get over it.
Speaker 2: You know it. I know it. They know it. We won that election.
Speaker 12: Constantly shifting vote tallies in Ohio and malfunctioning electronic machines, which may not have paper receipts have led to additional loss of confidence by the public.
Speaker 2: The right to vote has been stolen from qualified voters. The New
Speaker 6: Yorker reported that Kerry thought that, quote, proxies for Bush had rigged many of the voting machines.
Speaker 7: In 2004, the democratic process was thwarted.
Speaker 2: To The 2004 presidential election in Ohio was riddled with unnecessary problems.
Speaker 4: Some machines malfunctioned, causing votes to be counted more than once or not at all.
Speaker 2: Based upon an inordinate number of allegations suggesting gross voting rights violations and misconduct, I joined with my colleagues and objective to counting the state of Ohio's electoral votes. As in 2000, the votes of many who wanted to vote were not, in fact, This
Speaker 3: last Friday night, I I arranged to meet senator Kerry at a fundraiser to give him a copy of my book. He told me he now thinks the election was stolen.
Speaker 1: The wife of John Kerry said she has lingering doubts about the legitimacy of the election. Her theory goes like this. 2 brothers, she calls hard right Republicans, Own 80% of voting machines in the US. Therefore, it would be easy to hack into the mother machines that control the electronic voting.
Speaker 7: There were Numerous irregularities in Ohio, including large percentages of projections of provisional balloting, problems with voting machines.
Speaker 1: As we look At our election system, I think it's fair to say that there are many legitimate questions about its accuracy, About its integrity.
Speaker 12: There are still legitimate concerns over the integrity of our election.
Speaker 3: The question obviously is How many instances were not caught that we don't know about? Number 1, we've seen a lot of, what I'll call, honest glitches where it just didn't work right, But also that these machines are hackable. A dishonest employee of the vendor or dishonest employee of the local board of elections or simply someone who knows electronics And as a computer at home, could hack into these machines and then put in the secret instructions to disregard every 20th Democratic voter had 10% to the carrier to the Bush vote or whatever. He might not even know it.
Speaker 2: I agree with tens of millions of Americans Who are more very worried that when they cast the ballot on an electronic voting machine, that there There is no paper trail to record that vote. The numerous irregularities that occurred with the electronic voting machines In Ohio on November 2nd last year, point to an unresolved national crisis.
Speaker 7: We cannot Clear that
Speaker 3: the election of November 2, 2004 was free and clear and transparent and real. There must be independent testing of the voting machines used in Ohio.
Speaker 1: I'm not confident that the election in Ohio was barely decided. We know that there was substantial voter suppression, and the machines were not reliable.
Speaker 12: The members of Congress who have brought this challenge are speaking up for their agreed constituents, many of whom may have been disenfranchised in this process.
Speaker 6: Treating today's electoral vote count in congress as a meaningless ritual would be an insult to our democracy unless we registered our own protest against the obviously fraud voting process that took place in so many
Speaker 2: of our states. Voters who wish to cast a vote for president or vice president Can't approach the polls with certainty that their vote will be counted. One of the most significant problems in Ohio and in many other states Was a lack of measures to ensure the integrity of electronic voting machines. In 2004, they caused democratic voters in Ohio to wait for 8 hours before they could cast their ballot. They turned the department of civil rights and the justice department into the voter suppression division with Voter ID laws, voter purging, voter caging, voter intimidation.
There aren't gonna be any more election stealing.
Speaker 1: Now you have one very
Speaker 6: We won. But I
Speaker 1: didn't lose. I got the votes, but we won't know exactly how many because of how they cheat it. I did win my election. I just didn't get to have the job. We were robbed of an election.
Without voter suppression, Stacey Abrams would be the governor of Georgia. Andrew Gillum is the governor of Florida. Using the
Speaker 4: word rigged, using the word steal, do you think it's dangerous going into 2020?
Speaker 1: I I don't because we can actually back it up. And so in response What I believe was stolen election. I'm not saying they stole it from me. They stole it from the voters' doors. That's when I was asked if I'm ever gonna concede.
The answer is no. If she had a fair election, she already would have won. This is not a speech of concession. This is a step that needs to acknowledge an action that's right, true, or action is right, true or proper. And I will not concede because the erosion of our democracy is not You refuse to concede and say that you lost.
Do you stand by that decision today? Absolutely.
Speaker 2: If Stacey Abrams doesn't win in Georgia, they Stolen. It's clear. It's clear.
Speaker 1: The only election It was not a free and fair I think the election was stolen from the people of Georgia. I believe it was stolen from the voters.
Speaker 2: So I
Speaker 3: think that Stacey Abrams' election is being stolen from her.
Speaker 1: The election was not fair. The process was not fair. Thousands of Georgians had their voices stolen because they were not able to cast ballots. And they cannot be guaranteed that their votes will be counted in 2020 if we don't do this right.
Speaker 4: If what happens to you happens nationally and we we see, whoever runs for whoever wins the Democratic nominee. If they say, actually, I can prove that there's a number of votes in every state that that and that's and that's the same thing that you just described happens in multiple states should they concede.
Speaker 1: I do not think we should concede an election until we know the results of an election. I still fundamentally believed it could be fair. And that's just not how life works. If it looks like it's cheating, it probably is. If it looks like it's rigged, it probably is.
Speaker 2: He would be the governor of Georgia today had the governor of Georgia not disenfranchised 1,400,000 Georgia voters before the election. That's what happened to Stacey Abrams. They took the votes away.
Speaker 6: You, notably did not concede. I acknowledge. Okay. You acknowledge That he won, but you did not concede. Correct.
5 months later, do you still feel like your opponent won through voter suppression? Yes. Reminder, she wrote. Brian Kemp stole the gubernatorial election from Georgians and Stacey Abrams.
Speaker 1: I said that the election stolen from Georgia voters, the process that took place during the legislative cycle was one that did not countenance and did not pay attention To the deep and real concerns of those who watch this election be stolen in the state of Georgia. It was stolen from the voters of Georgia. Georgia voters did not have their votes Counted. They were not allowed to cast votes. They had
Speaker 2: their votes discarded. Certainly gave the appearance of unfairness. I think it was, unfair. Stacy ran a great campaign. Probably won.
Speaker 1: And it was not fair to those who filled up absentee ballots. And depending on the county you sent it to, it Either it was counted or not counted, assuming you received it in time. Brian Kemp oversaw for 8 years the systematic and Systemic dismantling of our democracy, and that means there could not be free and fair elections in Georgia. As long as we have eligible American citizens who cannot cast a ballot, Then the game is rigged. I am complicit if I say that that system is fair.
Concession in the political space is an acknowledgement that the process This is fair. And I don't believe that to be fair. But I refuse to concede because concession means that the process was proper, that the result was true and And right. And I cannot say that. If I tend to
Speaker 0: say I didn't lose, I just didn't win.
Speaker 12: And I don't call it a lot.
Speaker 1: I just didn't win.
Speaker 2: Yes. Yes. Officially. Yes. Officially.
Speaker 1: Put it this way. I didn't get to get Inaugurated, next problem. Okay. But will I say that this election was not tainted, was not a disinvestment and a disenfranchisement of thousands of voters? I will not say that.
Candidates votes, black and white, lost Their races because they have been deprived of the votes they otherwise would have gotten. And the clearest sample is from next door in Georgia. Stacey Abrams should be governor leading that state right now. I was joking with Beth backstage when she lost. I'm like, no, I just didn't win, because we don't know what really happened because of the miasma of voter suppression.
I can't know for a fact that I would be the governor of Georgia, but for the He's in the management of Brian Kemp, but I know it's a pretty good guess. So I can't prove that I would have won, but I know we don't know because of how he behaved.
Speaker 3: Is he the legitimate governor elect of Georgia?
Speaker 1: He is the person who won an adequate number of votes from the governor.
Speaker 2: With all with all due respect, and
Speaker 3: I respect where you're coming from and I respect the the issues that you're raising. You're not answering the question. Do you think that
Speaker 1: Wait a minute. I no. I what I talked to you
Speaker 3: You're not using The word legitimate, is he the legitimate governor elect Georgia?
Speaker 1: He is the legal governor of Georgia. He's not here to tell you that just because you win doesn't mean you're won. And you said to that you did not lose. You just did not win. Yes.
So we're gonna talk about that. Bad news is that we didn't get the victory we secured. And the thing is we will never know empirically that I got more votes because we will never know which votes did make count. This was not fair. It was not right and it is deeply improper that someone could ascend to that role having performed So basically and so crassly against the very people he is now supposed to represent.
The election was not fair. The process was not fair. So you don't feel that you lost fair and I do recognize I am not the governor of Georgia, but I do like to point out something that is true for me and for many in our state. And that is we won.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's gonna be legit because the increase in the prospect of being illegitimate is a Direct proportions not being able to get these these reforms passed.
Speaker 1: Right wing extremists already have a plan to literally seal the next presidential election.
Speaker 13: It's not as if it's just Republicans who have monkeed around with elections in the past. Sometimes Democrats have to.

Speaker 0: You can run the best campaign. You can even become the nominee, and you can have the election stolen from you.
Speaker 1: How can you win with Russian interference, though?
Speaker 2: That's a real thing. About it in 2020. But rightly.
Speaker 3: Because I
Speaker 1: think he's an illegitimate president that didn't really win.
Speaker 4: So how do you,
Speaker 1: you know, fight against that in 2020?
Speaker 2: You are absolutely right. He is an illegitimate president in my mind.
Speaker 5: Could you be my vice president for candidate?
Speaker 6: Folks, look. I absolutely agree.
Speaker 7: Trump didn't actually win the election in 2016. He lost the election, and he was put in the office because the Russians interfered.
Speaker 8: Russia interfered with our election, attacked our democracy for the sole purpose of artificially placing someone at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, they were
Speaker 0: Trump knows he's an illegitimate president.
Speaker 9: The president or elect, although legally elected,
Speaker 10: is not legitimate. I don't see this. President-elect as a legitimate president.
Speaker 11: You said you believe that Russia's interference altered the outcome of the election.
Speaker 2: I do. We have a president who, if in fact it is proven, has been assisted by the Russians and may in fact not be a legitimate president.
Speaker 0: The 1 thing that Trump is fearful of, when it comes to his being president, is that finally, we will see how illegitimate his victory actually was.
Speaker 12: I have an objection.
Speaker 13: I object to the 15 votes from the state of North Carolina. I object because people are horrified.
Speaker 14: He's an illegitimate president. Our election was hijacked. There was no question. Congress has a duty to hashtag protect our democracy and hashtag follow the facts.
Speaker 8: John Lewis is completely right. There is a cloud of illegitimacy around the election of Donald Trump. The Russians interfered with his election. James Comey and the FBI interfered with his, election. The fake news industry interfered with his election.
Speaker 0: Trump knows he's an illegitimate president who got illegitimate foreign
Speaker 2: Do you believe Trump is illegitimate president?
Speaker 15: What I believe is that there's no question that the outcome of this election was affected by the Russian interference.
Speaker 16: There absolutely is a cloud of illegitimacy.
Speaker 17: So that legitimacy is in question. Yes.
Speaker 9: So that was a very tainted election. And and in that sense, it's it's illegitimate.
Speaker 2: Why do you think the president is going to such great lengths to essentially prove that he beat you?
Speaker 0: Because he knows he didn't. He knows he's an illegitimate president.
Speaker 14: Stolen emails. Stolen drone. Stolen drone. Stolen election. Welcome to the world of unprecedented Trump.
Speaker 17: So do
Speaker 18: you believe president Trump is an illegitimate president?
Speaker 7: Based on what I just said, which I can't
Speaker 14: retract. Okay. He tweeted in February 2018, quote, the more we learn about the 20 16 election, the more illegitimate it becomes. America deserves to know whether we have a fake president in the Oval Office.
Speaker 9: In the Russian attempt to to have the election. And frankly, the FBI's weighing in on the election. I think make the make it makes his election illegitimate.
Speaker 0: There was a widespread understanding that this election was not on the level. We still don't know what really happened, Isaac. I mean, there's just a lot that I think will be revealed. History will discover. But you don't win by 3, 000, 000 votes and have all this other shenanigan stuff going on and not come away with an idea like, woah.
Something's not right here.
Speaker 8: Seems to me that there's a cloud of illegitimacy that continues to hang over 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Speaker 15: The outcome of the election was affected by their interference. And now we need to know, you know, to what degree, if any, the Trump campaign was actually in collusion with the
Speaker 17: with with Russia.
Speaker 0: He knows he's an illegitimate president. So, of course, he's obsessed with me. And I believe that it's a guilty conscience.
Speaker 6: We actually won the last presidential election,
Speaker 5: election. If Al Gore won that election, I think he won it anyway.
Speaker 18: Actually, I think I carried for it.
Speaker 7: Al Gore won the election nationwide and also in Florida, but the supreme court ruled the other way.
Speaker 19: Al Gore got more votes, but not enough to stay out of the supreme court where president Bush was elected 5 to 4.
Speaker 0: Bush versus Gore. A court took away a presidency.
Speaker 20: If all the votes were counted in Florida, then Al Gore would be president today and George Bush would be backing off.
Speaker 2: I come from Florida where you and others participated in what I call the United States coup d'etat.
Speaker 21: It's in
Speaker 14: 2013 according to reports, vice president Joe Biden, he claimed that Al Gore was the 1 who was elected president, and he claimed that the recount result was, quote, a bad decision.
Speaker 6: And never forget, dear friends, what they did in Florida to Al Al Gore and me, to all of us, the older Americans, the African Americans, the Haitian Americans denied the right to vote and have those votes counted.
Speaker 22: I do believe that the projections were right in the first place at 7 o'clock when they called it for Gore.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something without a doubt. George Bush did not carry Florida, and it was not clear.
Speaker 23: There's no question that you won the state of Florida. Oh, thank you, darling. No. It's a question.
Speaker 20: That's a question.
Speaker 18: We will never know because the votes weren't weren't counted.
Speaker 23: But but And
Speaker 14: and then in your judgment I mean, that's Yeah.
Speaker 6: And there is no other way of saying it but be very blunt. Al Gore won the state of Florida in 2000, and we should never forget it.
Speaker 24: Most Americans or great many Americans don't have confidence that the election of 2, 000 was fair.
Speaker 22: But I don't believe we lost. I I believe we just failed to have all of the votes counted. The Supreme Court went for 2004. Yeah.
Speaker 15: Al Gore won the state of Florida in 2000, although not the presidency.
Speaker 25: We know we won this election. They know we won this election, and Americans know we won this election.
Speaker 22: I know some people want you to believe that the Gore campaign was a campaign that wasn't able to complete its mission. We did. Had all of those votes been counted in Florida, I think Al Gore would be president today.
Speaker 17: We had more votes. We won, and we are never going to let the United States Supreme Court choose the president of the United States again?
Speaker 22: You should
Speaker 26: know by now based on the fact that he lost the popular vote vote by more than a half 1000000 voters, and we don't know how many he lost by in Florida.
Speaker 7: There's no doubt in my mind that Al Gore was elected president.
Speaker 27: I rise to object to the fraudulent 25 Florida electoral votes.
Speaker 20: Really, we won the election in 2000, but they stole the election.
Speaker 28: I must object because of the overwhelming evidence of official misconduct. Deliberate fraud, and an attempt to The
Speaker 29: chairman has reminded.
Speaker 18: Imran had already helped the Bush team with such favors as ferrying their rent a mob to Florida in 2000 to permanently halt the counting of legally cast ballots.
Speaker 13: It is signed by myself on behalf of my diverse constituents and the millions of Americans who have been disenfranchised by Florida's inaccurate vote count to Supreme Court, not the people
Speaker 2: of the United States decided this election. Speaking to a Democratic group in Chicago Tuesday, he made it clear he thinks Al Gore was the winner.
Speaker 24: The time it was over, our candidate had won the popular vote, and
Speaker 6: the only way they could win the election was
Speaker 24: to stop the voting in Florida.
Speaker 20: Catherine Harris, Jeb Bush, Jim Baker, and the Supreme Court hadn't tampered with the results.
Speaker 6: Al Gore would be president.
Speaker 17: I think that the issue before us today, is not who won or should have won the 2000 presidential election. That issue has been settled, not to my belief, but it has been settled. Trump and Trump. Trump and Trump. Trump.
Trump. Trump. Trump. That's right.
Speaker 14: Let's just drop the vice. President president Gore. That's all. Al Gore should have been president of the United States.
Speaker 10: Al Gore, made it possible for George Bush to be the only appointed president in the history of these United States.
Speaker 14: Democrats have won the past 3 presidential elections.
Speaker 24: In 2000, unions turned out 25% of the vote, and Al Gore won.
Speaker 20: But the supreme court hampered? That's a large charge. The supreme court stopped the counting of votes, and if they've let the count go on, Al Gore would've got the necessary vote.
Speaker 2: The Supreme Court selected George w Bush as the president. He was not elected.
Speaker 26: There is overwhelming evidence that George w Bush did not win this election.
Speaker 30: What I observed, as a voter, as a citizen of Illinois, 4 years ago were troubling evidence of the fact that not every vote was being counted.
Speaker 7: Don't think that George w Bush won the election, in 2000 against our goal because I I think that he probably lost Florida and also that nationwide.
Speaker 20: If you invite me back on this show in about 8 weeks, I think you're gonna learn that Al Gore actually did get all the votes votes there.
Speaker 21: I felt what happened in Florida was a carefully worked out conspiracy. That many things could not go wrong in 1 1 state without there having been a conspiracy. And many, many different things did go wrong. Many tricks were pulled of various kinds.
Speaker 22: The vice president did win, but, and I do believe that the majority of voters that intended to to go to polls last year wanted to vote and cast their votes for Al Gore. I do believe that in in in terms of Florida as well.
Speaker 12: The court has been thwarting formation of the popular will. The most spectacular example being Bush versus Gore, where the majority by A54 vote enjoined the counting of more than a 100, 000 ballots in Florida and essentially gave America its 1st court appointed president.
Speaker 19: Even though Al Gore won the election, he won't take office.
Speaker 30: That election was stolen from the rightful winner. So, mister speaker, I'm here today to talk about a stolen presidential election.
Speaker 16: I think in 2000, everybody thought, well, he did win the election in He started dividing America here in Florida by trying to take an election that I think any reasonable person would say he hadn't actually won.
Speaker 2: What happened in Florida will go down in history as a coup d'etat.
Speaker 3: Could we conclude, is it possible that there was a conspiracy and Florida officials were involved in the conspiracy? Conspiracy. Never have so many things gone so wrong in 1 place before. Why how do all these things happen all at the same time in the same state? Is not it possible there was a conspiracy that was very well organized?
Why were the state police out there on that day, election day, checking license plates and and so forth? You know, how did all these things happen in 1 state at 1 time in 1 election? Is is it possible that we are use the word conspiracy and not be afraid of it? Not sure wish, Gore was president right now. He should be.
Speaker 20: Well, he actually got elected.
Speaker 3: Oh, well, good.
Speaker 29: A battle that by the will of the people should have ended in victory. But tens of thousands of Florida votes either were not counted or tossed out in the 2000 presidential election.
Speaker 20: 5 supreme court justices trumped the votes of 51, 000, 000 Americans. We should've let the entire state be recounted so it was clear, that Al Gore actually won the state of Florida.
Speaker 2: And Al Gore won the election.
Speaker 17: We had the election stolen from us. You must admit that. They stole it, and we need a leader to help us get revenge.
Speaker 14: Y'all voted by Al Gore. He won the election.
Speaker 21: They usurped the the powers of the Florida Supreme Court, and they had and intervene. It was a fix as far as we're concerned. You know? There's no polite way to talk about it except the fix was in.
Speaker 2: After the election, when you stole the election, you came back here and say, get over it. No. We're not gonna get over it.
Speaker 6: You know it. I know it. They know it. We won that election.
Speaker 31: Constantly shifting vote tallies in Ohio and malfunctioning electronic machines, which may not have paper receipts, have led to additional loss of confidence by the public.
Speaker 6: The right to vote has been stolen from qualified voters.
Speaker 14: The New Yorker reported that Kerrey thought that, quote, proxies for Bush had rigged many of the voting machines.
Speaker 27: In 2004, the democratic process was thwarted.
Speaker 19: The 2004 presidential election in Ohio was riddled with unnecessary problems.
Speaker 32: Some machines malfunctioned, causing votes to be counted more than once or not at all.
Speaker 33: Based upon an inordinate number of allegations suggesting gross voting rights violations and misconduct, I joined with my colleagues in objecting to counting the state of Ohio's electoral votes.
Speaker 23: As in 2000, the votes of many who wanted to vote were not, in fact, counted.
Speaker 13: This last Friday night, I I arranged to meet senator Kerry at a fundraiser to give him a copy of my book. He told me he now thinks the election was stolen.
Speaker 34: The wife of John Kerry said she has lingering doubts about the legitimacy of the election. Her theory goes like this. 2 brothers, she calls hard right Republicans, own 80% of voting machines in the US. Therefore, it would be easy to hack into the mother machines that control the electronic voting.
Speaker 2: There were numerous irregularities in Ohio, including large percentages of rejections of provisional balloting, problems with voting machines.
Speaker 0: As we look at our election system, I think it's fair to say that there are many legitimate questions about its accuracy, about its integrity.
Speaker 31: There are still legitimate concerns over the integrity of our elections.
Speaker 4: The question obviously is how many instances were not caught that we don't know about. Number 1, we've seen a lot of what I'll call honest glitches where it just didn't work right, but also that these machines are hackable. A dishonest employee of the vendor or a dishonest employee of a local board of elections or simply someone who knows electronics and has a computer at home, could hack into these machines and then put in a secret instruction to disregard every 20th democratic vote or add 10% to the carrier, to the Bush vote, or whatever. He might not ever know it.
Speaker 6: I agree with tens of millions of Americans who are very worried that when they cast
Speaker 10: the ballot on an electronic voting machine, that there is no paper trail to record that vote. The numerous irregularities that occurred with the electronic voting machines in Ohio on November 2nd last year point to an unresolved national crisis.
Speaker 13: We cannot declare that the election of November 2, 2004 was free and clear and transparent and real. There must be independent testing of the voting machines used in Ohio.
Speaker 35: I'm not confident that the election in Ohio was fairly decided. We know that there was substantial voter suppression, and the machines were not reliable.
Speaker 31: The members of congress who have brought this challenge are speaking up for their aggrieved constituents, many of whom may have been disenfranchised in this process.
Speaker 23: Treating today's electoral vote count in congress as a meaningless ritual would be an insult to our democracy unless we register our our own protest against the obviously flawed voting process that took place in so many of our states.
Speaker 19: Voters who wish to cast a vote for president or vice president can't approach the polls with certainty that their vote will be counted. 1 of the most significant problems in Ohio and in many other states was the lack of measures to ensure the integrity of electronic voting machines.
Speaker 24: In 2004, they caused Democratic voters
Speaker 17: in Ohio to wait for 8 hours before
Speaker 24: they could cast their ballot. In democratic voters in Ohio to wait for 8 hours before they could cast their ballot. They turned the department of civil rights and the justice department into the voter suppression division with voter ID laws, voter purging, voter caging, voter intimidation. There aren't gonna be any more election stealing.
Speaker 2: And I do have 1 very affirmative statement to make. We won. But I didn't lose. I got the votes, but we won't know exactly how many because of how they cheated. I did win my election.
I just didn't get to have the job. We were robbed of an election. Without voter suppression, Stacey Abrams would be the governor of Georgia. Andrew Gillum is the governor of Florida.
Speaker 32: She's using the word rigged, using the word steel. Do you think it's dangerous going into 2020?
Speaker 2: I I don't because we can actually back it up. And so in response to what I believe was a stolen election. I'm not saying they stole it from me. They stole it from
Speaker 17: the voters' tour.
Speaker 2: Back to the outside, I asked if I'm ever gonna concede. The answer is no.
Speaker 0: If she had a fair election, she already would have won.
Speaker 2: This is not a speech of concession. Because concession needs to acknowledge an action is right, true, or prompt, and I will not concede because the erosion of our democracy is not right.
Speaker 22: You refused to concede and say that you lost.
Speaker 34: Do you stand by that decision today? Absolutely.
Speaker 19: If Stacey Abrams doesn't win in Georgia, they stole it. It's clear. It's clear.
Speaker 16: I will
Speaker 2: obey. Thank you, man. You're going to steal your election. It was not a free and fair election.
Speaker 17: I think
Speaker 2: the election was stolen from the people of Georgia. I believe it was stolen from the voters.
Speaker 17: So I
Speaker 30: think that Stacey Abrams' election is being stolen from her.
Speaker 2: The election was not fair. The process was not fair. Thousands of Georgians had their voices stolen because they were not able to cast ballots. And they cannot be guaranteed that their votes will be counted in 2020 if we don't do this right.
Speaker 32: If what happens to you happens nationally and we we see, whoever runs for whoever wins the democratic nominee. If they
Speaker 17: say, actually, I can prove that
Speaker 32: there's a number of votes in every state that that and that and that's the same thing that you just described, happens happens in multiple states. Should they concede?
Speaker 2: I do not think we should concede an election until we know the results of an election. I still fundamentally believed it could be fair, and that's just not how life works. If it looks like cheating, it probably is. If it looks like it's rigged, it probably is.
Speaker 6: She would be the governor of Georgia today had the governor of Georgia not disenfranchise 1, 400, 000 Georgia voters before the election. That's what happened to Stacey Abrams. They took the votes away.
Speaker 2: We've been raised to believe in in that respect to others to call of others to call question. And if you wanna run for office again, you gotta concede the election
Speaker 36: You, notably did not concede. I did not concede. Okay. You acknowledged that he won, but you did not concede. Correct.
5 months later, do you still feel like your opponent won through voter suppression?
Speaker 32: Yes. Reminder,
Speaker 14: she wrote, Brian Kemp stole the gubernatorial election from Georgians and Stacey Abrams.
Speaker 2: I said that the election was stolen from Georgia voters. The process that took place during the legislative cycle was 1 that did not countenance and did not pay attention to the deep and real concerns of those who watched this election be stolen in the state of Georgia. It was stolen from the voters of Georgia. Georgia voters did not have their votes counted. They were not allowed to cast votes.
They had their votes discarded.
Speaker 14: It certainly gave the appearance of unfairness. I think it was, unfair. Stacy ran a great campaign. She probably won.
Speaker 2: And it was not fair to those who filled up absentee ballots. And depending on the county you sent it to, it either was counted or not counted, assuming you received it in time. Brian Kemp oversaw for 8 years the systematic and systemic dismantling of our democracy, and that means there could not be free and fair elections in Georgia. As long as we have eligible American citizens who cannot cast a ballot, process was fair process was fair, and I don't believe that to be so. But I refuse to concede because concession means that the process was proper, that the result was true and right, and I cannot say that.
If I tend to say I didn't lose, I just didn't win. And I don't call it a loss. I just didn't win. But Yes. He did.
Okay. Officially. Yes. Officially. Put it this way.
I didn't get to get inaugurated, and that's probably Okay. But will I say that this election was not tainted, was not a disinvestment and a disenfranchisement of thousands of voters? I will not say that.
Speaker 0: Candidates, both black and white, lost their races because they have been deprived of the votes they otherwise would have gotten. And the clearest example is from next door in Georgia. Stacey Abrams should be governor Leading that state right now.
Speaker 2: I was joking with Beth backstage when Cliff said, you know, she lost. I'm like, no. I just didn't win, because we don't know what really happened because of the miasma of voter suppression. I can't know for a fact that I would be the governor of Georgia but for the malfeasance and the mismanagement of Brian Kemp, but I know it's a pretty good guess. So I can't prove that I would have won, but I know we don't know because of how he behaved.
Speaker 11: Is he the legitimate governor elect of Georgia?
Speaker 2: He is the person who won an adequate number of votes
Speaker 11: But that's not
Speaker 2: from the governor.
Speaker 11: With all with all due respect, and I respect where you're coming from, and I respect the the issues that you're raising. You're not answering the question. Do you think I
Speaker 2: was No. I what I talked to you
Speaker 11: You're not using the word legitimate. Is he the legitimate governor elect Georgia?
Speaker 2: He is the legal governor of Georgia. You see, I'm here to tell you that just because you win, doesn't mean you're won. So you said to me that you did not lose. You just did not win. Yes.
So we're gonna talk about that. Bad news is that we didn't get the victory we we secured. And the thing is we will never know empirically that I got more votes because we will never know which votes didn't get counted. This was not fair. It was not right, and it is deeply improper that someone could ascend to that role having performed so basely and so crassly against the very people he is now supposed to represent.
The election was not fair. The process was not fair.
Speaker 22: So you don't feel that you lost fair and square?
Speaker 2: I do recognize I am not the governor of Georgia, but I do like to point out something that is true for me and for many in our state, and that is we won.
Speaker 5: I'm not saying it's gonna be legit. It's the increase in the prospect of being illegitimate is a direct proportion to us not being able to get these these reforms passed.
Speaker 0: Right wing extremists already have a plan to literally steal the next presidential election.
Speaker 30: It's not as if it's just Republicans who have monkeed around with elections in the past. Sometimes Democrats have to.
Speaker 17: You
Speaker 30: know, whenever people are in power, they're, you know, they have this tendency to try to, you know, tilt things in their direction.

Democratic leaders serve the donor class, prioritizing fundraising over genuine representation. Politicians like Kamala Harris present a facade of joy, but voters crave authentic reactions and representation. The mainstream media often protects these politicians, misrepresenting their ties to donors and failing to address their shortcomings. To create change, voters must challenge and replace these leaders, as they will not self-correct. The consistent losses for Democrats stem from corruption and reliance on donor money. If voters do not take action to fire these ineffective leaders, they will continue to face defeats against figures like Donald Trump. It's time to wake up and recognize the lies perpetuated by the establishment.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: These democratic leaders are simpletons. They're servants of the donor class. So they go in there, like, donor, give me money, please. And I hear I made an ad. I'm Kamala Harris.
I'm full of joy. Okay. Well well, what did that get you? And they told Jake, you're too angry. Too angry?
What? The you think does Donald Trump look like he's kind? Does he look like he's in a good mood? I mean, no. People want some sort of reaction from their politicians.
They want them to to represent them, to fight for them. But that has never occurred to a Democrat outside of Bernie Sanders, and probably we'd ever will. So we had look. There's no I'm not I have no interest in listening to a single Democratic politician ever again. They can go kiss my ass.
They can do whatever they want, and we never listen to them anyway. And they hate us because we're right and they're wrong. They're always wrong, and they hate us for being right. Okay? So but they they're not gonna learn.
You have to beat them in a primary. That's your only hope. And so if you say it's super hard to beat them in a primary because of the lying sons of bitches on mainstream media who will smear you to no end, who will fight harder against progressives and populists than Republicans or Donald Trump or anyone else, well, brothers and sisters, nobody said life was fair. So we gotta go fight that mainstream media. We gotta destroy that mainstream media that is filled with lies on top of lies about how the politicians are so honest and the donors have no control over policy.
They have 100% control over policy. Everyone in mainstream media is a liar who goes, oh, well, here's a bill. Well, I'm not gonna talk about the donors at all. Oh, I think they're having an ideological debate. Oh, look at that.
The donor class won the ideological debate again, but I won't call them the donor class. I won't tell you that it's corporate Republicans and corporate Democrats that are playing good cop and bad cop against you the entire time. So these democratic leaders are the most useless people on earth. If they're not all fired, the Democratic Party is out of its mind. So as the voters, they you have to understand, those guys have a vested interest in protecting their own ass and protecting their money and their privilege and their status.
You need to fire them. They're not gonna fire themselves. You think Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Kamala Harrison, all these people go, oh, yeah. I got Jamie Harrison and Dan Siegel. Oh, yeah.
I guess we were the problem. You think the democratic consultant plat class that have been you blind this entire time is gonna go, oh, I guess we were the problem. No. You have to fire them. So the next time that some son of a bitch on MSNBC or the Democratic party tells you, oh, no.
Be a good boy and girl. Be civil and vote for Democratic leaders. They know what they're doing. Those are the same goddamn liars that told you that Joe Biden was totally fine, that he was young, and he was dynamic behind the scenes. And it wasn't a problem at all.
At that point, he was down 8 points nationally. He was getting slaughtered. He was down by 18 and I went. I could go on and on. They've been lying to you the whole time.
If you're on the left, you're a Democratic voter. Wakey wakey. I need to wake you up out of the hypnosis that you're in, that Morning Joe and The View and all of mainstream media has put you in. They're lying to you. Why do you think they keep losing?
Do you think that oh, they keep telling you how smart they are and how they're gonna deliver you victories, and all they ever do is deliver loss after loss after loss. So Democratic voters snap out of it. These guys are obvious liars. Fire them all. Fire them all.
And if you don't, okay, then keep losing to buffoons, to obvious con men like Donald Trump. Keep losing and losing and losing and never figuring it out. Here. I solved it for you. I figured it out.
It's a goddamn corruption. All the stupid donor money, all it's ever done is led to more losses. So if you don't fire them, you have no one to blame but yourself. Young Turks will be back.

Video Transcript AI Summary
NBC News projects that Donald Trump has won Pennsylvania, bringing his electoral vote count to 266, while Kamala Harris has 194. This marks the third major swing state called, creating a challenging path for the Democratic ticket. Trump is expected to speak soon at the Palm Beach Convention Center, where the crowd is eager for his remarks.
As we await Trump's address, it's clear the electoral college favors him, and he might even secure a popular vote majority. Despite concerns about the electoral college's legitimacy, if Trump wins, he will have won according to the current constitutional order. This situation underscores the importance of democracy and the peaceful transfer of power, especially in light of past events. The preservation of American democracy will be an ongoing process moving forward.

Speaker 0: Remarks because NBC News has a projection to make in the presidential contest in the swing state of Pennsylvania. NBC News now projects that that presidential contest has been won by Donald Trump. Now I believe that means that we are at a 266 electoral vote count for Donald Trump. Kamala Harris had a 190 4 electoral votes. So, to be clear here, this is the 3rd of the 7 major swing states that have been called.
But Georgia and North Carolina and Pennsylvania, as those 3 states, presents an almost an an an unless there's a it presents an insurmountable, future here for for Kamala Harrison for the Democratic ticket. In terms of what's gonna happen here next, we are expecting that Donald Trump is going to speak to the Palm Beach Convention Center in Florida. We've seen in the backdrop there while we are speaking, with Vaughn, about we've seen how excited the crowd is. You see the crowd there now wrapped and waiting for Donald Trump to speak. We do not have guidance as to when Trump's remarks will happen, but we expect that it could be, any moment now.
Chris Hayes, with the projection in Pennsylvania, we pretty much know how this is gonna end.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's pretty clear. I think the writing has been on the wall. And, you know, one of the jobs that we all have in the media is to be truthful with people and transparent. We're very transparent about the process that brought us to this point.
I'll just say this as as we're preparing for Trump to take the stage. You know, Steve is going through the numbers. We have this very funky and terrible system called the electoral college, which decides elections in a way that's totally different than every other election in the United States is decided and the way that anything is decided anywhere else in the world. We should scrap it. From the perspective of basic democratic legitimacy, which is something I'm pretty concerned about, something we talk about a lot on this network.
It looks possible that Donald Trump might emerge with a popular vote majority, when when all the
Speaker 0: votes We won't know for a long time.
Speaker 1: We won't know for a long time, but this is not outside the realm of possibility. The electoral college looks strongly in his favor. And if that is the case, if he has won the election, then he has won the election. And the reason I say that is because we've spent many years talking about democracy and its vibrancy and the importance of the peaceful transfer of power. We've had a violent insurrection staged against the constitutional order by the man we're expecting to speak here who urged his supporters to march to that capital where they assaulted police officers and attempted to essentially steal power away from the majority of the country that had voted for Joe Biden.
It's really important to note that while I believe that institutions have failed dramatically in putting us in the position we are, including the Supreme Court and other institutions, the Republican Party, that if he won, then he won. And that's what the constitution says. It's what our current constitutional order says. It's what democratic majorities, at least in the swing states electoral college have said. And that, that means we're in a new world for this country, but the sort of preservation of American democracy and the constitutional order, begins as an ongoing process, anew tomorrow.
Speaker 0: Steph, go ahead, but just keep your eyes on that monitor because we are expecting these remarks any moment.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Federal indictments against him may soon vanish, reflecting his supporters' belief in his persecution. Despite facing impeachment and multiple charges, he appears empowered, feeling he has survived the worst. Many Americans are trying to understand the election results, which they see as a rejection of the current state of the country, driven by concerns over the economy, inflation, immigration, and foreign policy. While some view this as a vote for bigotry, it's essential to recognize that many voters prioritize economic issues. Trump’s previous presidency is remembered for a better economy, influencing voter sentiment. The divide between college-educated and non-college-educated voters also plays a role in the current political landscape.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: And not to mention, the federal, indictments against him will almost surely disappear.
Speaker 1: They're gone. Absolutely. Disappear.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. He talked about putting the last 4 years behind us. Maybe those are some of the things that'll go away. And, you know, I also wanna recognize, something that Dana White said at the UFC where he said this is karma. Just to hear that through the lens of his supporters, that they feel that between, his convictions, impeachments, etcetera, that he has been persecuted and that this was their response to that.
There's that was like a huge applause line in that room. Yeah. I mean, think about it.
Speaker 3: This is a man who has been impeached twice, a man who has, survived 2 assassination attempts. One of them very serious, 4 indictments, almost a 100 charges, and he looks like he's gonna have walked through all of it.
Speaker 0: And he's at 34 on 34 counts of convicted felon.
Speaker 3: And and well, when we'll see what happens on that conviction and what what what punishment he faces, I don't understand how a man like that couldn't feel tremendously empowered to do whatever he wants because he has got the mandate. He he the the system I don't believe it was a persecution by the system or weaponization or league, but but he certainly does. Mhmm. And it seems to me he's gonna feel they threw their they did their worst to me, and I survived it, and I thrived, and the country gave me a mandate.
Speaker 2: I think probably there are a lot of Americans out there, watching who are trying to make sense of tonight and trying to figure out why this happened. And I know that there are those who think, that this is a manifestation of ugliness, among their fellow Americans. That this is this is a vote for bigotry, and this is a vote for misogyny, or this is a vote, for racism, etcetera. And I I wanna take a moment and just reflect on the fact that if you look at the reasons why the voters who decided this election voted the way they did, it is not because of those parts of, the MAGA movement or or or Trump's, comments in the past. It's not about vindicating Trump for the the lawsuits, or the criminal charges or the impeachment.
The people who decided this election, the people in the battleground states who switched or who turned out, don't like the country as it is right now, mainly because of the 3 issues. And, like, people like it or not, Donald Trump ran an issues based campaign, whether or not his, you know, 2 hour stem winder, rally speeches covered all of it. It was mainly because of the economy and the beating the people are taking taking, at the gas pump and in grocery stores, inflation. And immigration and the fact that immigration there is a crisis at the border. There has been for several years.
The first couple years of the Biden Harris administration, they were in denial about it and acted as though anybody who asked about it was just reading right wing talking points. And then also having to do with foreign policy and the standing in the world. Now you can say you you can look at what's happening in Ukraine, and you can look at what's happening in the Middle East and all over the world and and believe that Trump had something to do with it or not believe something had Trump had something to do with it. But it is true that there are wars going on right now that were not going on during the Trump presidency. I'm not saying that correlation.
But I just I want to reassure, because I know that there are people out there who are worried that this is a statement, that this vote for Donald Trump is a statement of dislike of them. And I don't think that is what people should read into
Speaker 3: the election results. Point of which I I agree with most of what you said. The only thing I would push back on is this is a man who would get up in rallies and say, I am your retribution. This goes back to what David Axelrod said. There obviously are millions of people in this country who feel that there's an elite, an inside game that they're looked down on.
I I as Axelrod said, where the the the the party, the Democratic party approaches them almost like missionaries, like we wanna help you and make you like us. And he was in effect saying, I'm representing you against those people. I I I agree that a lot a lot of it doesn't have to do with misogyny and racism. But I do think that there's a you know, we talk about the one of the big dividing lines here is college educated people versus non college educated people. I think there is certainly a class element.
Speaker 2: I'm not dismissing that. I'm not dismissing any of that. I am saying that the people the people who either swung their votes, changed their votes, the people who decided this election. I'm not saying But there's all 85,000,000 or however many people ultimately ended up voting for Donald Trump did so for one monolithic reason. I'm just saying I think that people need to think about the economic reasons mo first and foremost.
Speaker 0: That's what I was just gonna say, is that one of the things that I think maybe the biggest thing that Donald Trump benefited from was the fact that he had been in the White House before, and the economy was better. Whether it was on him or not, the economy was better, and people remember that. And that is such a fundamental across the board for pretty much everybody who voted for him. Let's

Here's what's happening: Trump has taken the lead in key areas, including Bucks County and the battleground state of Georgia. While votes are still being counted and some states remain uncalled, the Republican Party is projected to control the Senate. The Harris campaign is telling supporters to go home and wait until tomorrow, a stark contrast to the historic victory they had hoped to witness. Despite running a flawless campaign with widespread celebrity support, the outcome is uncertain, causing alarm both domestically and internationally. As of now, only two of the seven swing states, Georgia and North Carolina, have been called. Pennsylvania has been won by Donald Trump.

Speaker 1: NBC News now projects that in the battleground state of Georgia in the presidential race, Donald Trump has prevailed. The Republican Party will control the United States Senate. This is live from Howard University in Washington DC.
Speaker 0: We still have votes to count. We still have states that have not been called yet. We will continue overnight to fight to make sure that every vote is counted. Thank you all.
Speaker 1: A short and to the point statement from Cedric Richmond, the Harris campaign co chair. You now see them turn as one to start to leave the grounds. The evening

Speaker 1: You know, we always knew it was gonna be down to the blue wall, and the blue wall is still uncalled at this point. But it sounds like the Harris campaign is is sort of keeping things tight in terms
Speaker 3: of whether or not they're gonna string people along into thinking this is gonna happen. What they went to that venue tonight hoping to see and witness was a historic election of Kamala Harris to the presidency Yeah. Was the end of the Trump era as they knew it. And so we don't know the outcome yet, but that is not what they are receiving, and they are being told to go home, and wait till tomorrow. I I that is that's just I
Speaker 4: And nothing that was true yesterday about how flawlessly this campaign was run is not true now. I mean, this really was an historic flawlessly run campaign. She had Queen Latifa never endorses anyone. She came out and endorsed. You know, I mean, you she had every prominent celebrity voice.
She had the Swifties. She had the Beehive. Like, you could not have run a

You can see this is the battleground states, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, the so called Blue Wall. None of those states called by NBC News.

Looking at the numbers, Black voters really showed up for Kamala Harris. However, white women voters didn't follow suit. In states where reproductive rights were taken away and efforts were made to emphasize the importance of reelecting the person responsible for taking those rights away to restore them, that message didn't resonate enough with white women to vote for Vice President Harris. This is a critical moment. White women now have a second chance to shift how they engage with the patriarchy.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: See the numbers that Joe Biden had in the suburbs, and I think we have to be blunt about why. Black voters came through for Kamala Harris. White women voters did not. That is what it appears happened in that state is that if you can't flip enough white women, and we've talked about this on this set numerous times, but it's a state where women lost their reproductive rights, where there was a very heavy push to get women to focus on not putting in place, you know, reelecting, putting back into the White House the person who was responsible for taking those rights away and restoring them. But that message obviously was not enough to get enough white women to vote, for vice president Harris, a fellow woman.
This will be the second opportunity that white women in this country have to change the way that they interact with the patriarchy.

Donald Trump, an elderly man, was oddly given nine seconds for a photo op during an active shooter situation. Considering that, if the 81-year-old President Biden, who currently has COVID, recovers in a few days, wouldn't that send a similar message? It would show his strength, especially since he is older than Trump, in overcoming an illness that was once deadly for his age group. If Biden recovers and resumes rallies, it should have a similar impact. While not the exact same incident, it's still an elderly man recovering from an illness, which should convey a message of strength and resilience.

Speaker 0: Question that I have on that. These two men are both elderly. Donald Trump is an elderly man who, for whatever reason, was given nine seconds to take a iconic photo op during an active shooter, situation. Weird United States is 81 years old and has COVID. Should he be fine in a couple of days, doesn't that convey exactly the same thing?
That he's strong enough, older than Trump, to have gotten something that used to really be fatal to people his age. So if he does fine out of it and comes back and is able to do rallies, isn't that exactly the same? It it should. I mean, it's not exactly the same. It's not the same incident, but it's all it's an elderly man coming through out of an illness.

New York City will mandate vaccines for all city workers, without a testing option, including police officers, 69% of whom are vaccinated. Police unions across the country are protesting mandates. Seattle's union called it a public safety crisis.
In other parts of the country, police and firefighters who were fired for noncompliance marched to City Hall. The Los Angeles County Sheriff won't enforce the city's mandate. Chicago's union president urged officers to ignore the mandate, leading to a judge's order to stop public comments about the policy. Republicans are attempting to recruit Chicago officers to other states.
COVID-19 has caused 64% of all police officer deaths this year, more than gun violence. Some officers refuse to comply with mask laws, as happened in a New York subway. Officers and unions fighting vaccine mandates are endangering Americans.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: New York City announced today that vaccines would be mandated for all city workers with no testing option. That includes police officers who are currently sixty nine percent vaccinated. Their union is already vowing to fight the mandate anyway. It's a pattern that we've seen across the country with police unions and officers coming out against mandates. Seattle's police union called the mandate a public safety crisis, as if vaccines aren't for the public's safety.
The city's police and firefighters who were fired for noncompliance made a very dramatic exit marching to City Hall to turn in their boots. And a trooper went as far as to attack governor Jay Inslee over the radio while claiming that he was being asked to leave because I'm dirty. I mean, no one said not being vaccinated was dirty, but okay then. Then there's the Los Angeles County Sheriff who said he won't enforce the city's mandate, though there's still a two month grace period for employees to get their shots. But there's no place like Chicago where the union president directly urged officers to ignore the city's mandate, making the prediction that it would lead to a 50% cut in cops on the street.
He also threatened that officers could lock in a pension and walk away today. That kind of rhetoric led to a judge's order that he stopped making public comments about the city's vaccine policy. Of course, Republicans are taking advantage of the situation in Chicago with Indiana senator Mike Braun trying to recruit Chicago Officers to Indiana, saying, you deserve respect. Bring the COVID here. And none other than Jim Jordan mentioned the Chicago police in a tweet along with Kyrie Irving and parents at school board meetings saying freedom is contagious.
You know what's actually contagious? The coronavirus. COVID nineteen has caused sixty four percent of all police officer deaths so far this year, more than quadruple the number who died from gun violence. But go off, assistant coach. Make your political point.
Police officers are supposed to protect and serve, but they're actually putting themselves ahead of the citizens they could infect. We constantly hear that police brutality cases wouldn't even have happened. If only everyone just complied and followed all of their commands. But it's clear that some officers don't hold themselves to that same standard. They're literally refusing to comply with the law.
Just take what happened in at a New York subway stop yesterday where a rider says he was harassed and then thrown out of the station for asking officers to wear masks, which, by the way, is the law. The NYPD says the event is under internal review. Guess all the cops former governor Cuomo sent into the subway system are really making an impact. So for putting Americans in danger, officers and unions who are fighting against vaccine mandates, which essentially means fighting to make the public sick, are tonight's absolute worst.

I am not sorry for the value my show had. I went hard on many issues, from Black Lives Matter and the targeting of Asian Americans to defending immigrants and objecting to actions subversive to the Constitution. I defended books and highlighted the significance of 1619. I even spoke out about Gaza and our right to object to the bombing of babies. I'm not sorry for standing up for these issues because they are of God. As a church girl, I was taught that these things matter. I am proud of my show.

I'm sorry for getting emotional, but I truly believe my show had value and that it mattered. Thank you to everyone. I felt a sense of guilt for going so hard on issues like Black Lives Matter, anti-Asian hate, defending immigrants, calling out subversive actions against the Constitution, defending inconvenient books like the 1619 Project, and speaking out about the bombing of babies in Gaza. But ultimately, I'm not sorry. I'm not sorry that I stood up for these things because they align with what I believe is right. As a church girl, I was taught that these values are of God, and I'm proud of my show for standing up for them.

Rachel Maddow just went on a 4-minute unhinged rant against the owner of MSNBC for firing Joy Reid. This is the funniest clip you will see from today. https://t.co/voRmt3Eh4K
Video Transcript AI Summary
There are some big changes happening here at the network. Joy Reid's show is ending, and she is leaving MSNBC altogether, which is hard to accept as she is a valued colleague. Additionally, two non-white hosts in prime time are losing their shows.
Beyond on-air changes, many experienced producers and staffers are facing layoffs or are being asked to reapply for new positions. This has created a great deal of anxiety and uncertainty, especially considering the already stressful environment due to attacks on the press. While we welcome new voices and look forward to continued success, it's important to remember the value of treating our colleagues well and supporting those who work behind the scenes.

Speaker 0: PM hour, all the other nights except for Mondays. So that's a big change. An even bigger programming change is at 7PM, seven PM Eastern, where Joy Reid's show, the readout ended tonight. And Joy is not taking a different job in the network. She is leaving the network altogether, and that is very, very, very hard to take.
I am 51 years old. I have been gainfully employed since I was 12. And I have had so many different kinds of jobs. You wouldn't believe me if I told you. But in all of the jobs I have had, in all of the years I have been alive, there is no colleague for whom I have had more affection and more respect than Joy Reid.
I love everything about her. I have learned so much from her. I have so much more to learn from her. I do not want to lose her as a colleague here at MSNBC. And personally, I think it is a bad mistake to let her walk out the door.
It is not my call, and I understand that, but that's what I think. I will tell you, it is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two, count them, two nonwhite hosts in primetime, Both of our non white hosts in prime time are losing their shows as is Katie Fang on the weekend. And that feels worse than bad, no matter who replaces them. That feels indefensible and I do not defend it. But there's just one other piece of it that you should know.
From your side of the TV screen, you will mostly see changes in terms of who's in the anchor chair. And actually everybody who's going to be in anchor chairs from here on out are great colleagues and great at what they do, and you are not going to be disappointed in who's on our air and what you're going to be seeing. But one thing you cannot necessarily see is that the people who get our shows on the air, they're really being put through the ringer. Dozens of producers and staffers, including some who are among the most experienced and most talented and most specialist producers in the building are facing being laid off. They're being invited to reapply for new jobs.
That has never happened at this scale in this way before when it comes to programming changes, presumably because it's not the right way to treat people and it's inefficient and it's unnecessary. And it kind of drops the bottom out of whether or not people feel like this is a good place to work. And so we don't generally do things that way. Maybe all of our folks, including most of the people who are getting this very show on the air right now, maybe they will all get new jobs here, and I hope they do. But in the meantime, being put in this kind of limbo, the anxiety and the discombobulation is off the charts.
At a time when this job already is extra stressful and difficult, it is not news for me to tell you that the press and freedom of the press are under attack in a way that is really it's a big deal for our country. It's very visceral for us here. I know that the business of the press is not an easy thing, and I know that no job is forever. But I think I'm safe in saying for all of us anchors who you know through the TV, please know that what pains us the most is not what happens to us. It is what happens to our coworkers on whom we depend and who you don't necessarily know, but we respect and love them and depend on them.
And did I mention we respect them? This is a difficult time in the news business, but it does not need to be difficult. We welcome new voices to this place and some familiar voices to new hours. It's going to be great, honestly, and we want to grow and succeed and reach more people than ever and be resilient and stay here forever. I also believe, and I bet you believe that the way to get there is by treating people well.
Finding good people, good colleagues, doing good work with them and then having their back. That we could do a lot better on, a lot better. I'll be right back.

There are big programming changes happening. Joy Reid's show is ending and she is leaving the network altogether, which is hard to accept because I have immense respect and affection for her. I think it’s a mistake to let her go.
It's also concerning that two non-white hosts in primetime are losing their shows, along with Katie Fang. While the new anchors will be great, the behind-the-scenes staff are facing layoffs and being asked to reapply for their jobs, which is creating anxiety and disruption.
The press is under attack, and while changes happen, it’s most painful to see what happens to our coworkers, who we deeply respect and depend on. We need to treat people well, find good colleagues, do good work with them, and support them. We can do much better.

I love you both, and the friendships we've formed here have sustained me. The thought of doing these nights without you feels like losing a limb. Your strength and fearlessness inspire me, but my despair over your departure is something I must fight. Despair is the autocrat's tool, leading to hopelessness and inaction. We can't afford to wallow in it. We have to be real with ourselves, but also recognize that no perfect candidate or ad will save us. We have to save ourselves. We, as a country, need to decide that certain things, like Elon Musk's unchecked accumulation of wealth, are not who we are.

Speaker 0: History, your ability, your political acumen. Nicole Wallace, my good sister, tell me what you your brilliant self believe people can do.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna break the rules the way Rachel broke the rules and tell you that I love you. That the happiest times I've had, not just at MSNBC, but ever being on television, have been sitting next to the two of you. No offense, Florence. We love having you there too. We love Lawrence.
And that I think that I thought that things like that on TV couldn't be real, but that the friendships that have sustained me have been with both of you. And I am you know, it's like losing a limb, the thought of doing those nights without you. Your strength and your fearlessness is, the answer to the question I think you're getting at with both of us. And I think that my reaction to, the end of the readout and your departure is despair. And the only thing that that that chips away at that for me is that despair is the autocrat's tool.
It's their most effective weapon. It costs nothing. It's easy to deploy. It's contagious, and then it puts in motion all the actions they want, hopelessness, isolation, exasperation, giving up. Yeah.
And so the only reason I will not wallow in what I feel about you leaving is is because I think that's what they want. And so I don't think there could be artificial joy and gaslighting about sort of breaking up the pro democracy side. I think it has to be you know, I think we have to be real with ourselves and with each other. But I do think I I'm so intrigued and sort of I feel the stirrings in everything you've been covering tonight. You know, the the answer to this moment is not gonna come from a perfect ad being cut by a brilliant ad maker and put on the air for the perfect candidate that comes out of a lab.
It's just that's not how we're gonna save ourselves. And I think waiting for someone to save us is kind of how we got here. We have to save ourselves. We as a country have to decide that Elon Musk getting, you know, I I don't even know what the word is. He's already the richest person in the world, you know, richer than the richest person, you know, to ever exist.
I I don't even know what the goal is. But I think that turning this over to the country and saying, you may think this is what you wanted, but this is not who we are.
Speaker 0: Yeah. Yeah. Indeed. And and I think people are getting there. And and, Lawrence, I wanna bring you in because and, again, I I

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speakers discuss election night, noting no surprises and very close races in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Public polling indicated a close race, and early results confirm this.
The Harris campaign aimed to increase voter turnout to counteract Trump's expected rural votes. Some believe the Harris campaign was flawless, with strong get-out-the-vote efforts, while Trump's rallies were not well-attended. Reproductive rights are a key issue for young women voters.
Trump's vote share increased in rural counties compared to 2020. North Carolina and Georgia were called for Trump. Trump also gained ground in key Pennsylvania counties. The Republican Party will control the Senate.
The Harris campaign acknowledged the need to count all votes. The mood at the Harris event grew somber as results came in. The focus shifted to the "blue wall" states, which remained uncalled. Pennsylvania was later called for Trump, presenting an insurmountable challenge for Harris. Trump declared victory, stating they overcame obstacles thought impossible.

Speaker 0: All the anticipation, all the excitement, all the anxiety, all the doom scrolling, all the manic refreshing of polling averages, it has all been leading to this hour. And we know you have every choice in the world for where to spend tonight, so we're really grateful that you're spending it with us. We hope you'll be with us through the duration.
Speaker 1: Hey. How's everybody doing? First time voting? Yes. How are you feeling?
Good. Are you guys doing okay too?
Speaker 2: Yes. We're doing great. Kama La la la.
Speaker 3: Wait a ask
Speaker 1: who you're gonna vote for, but I didn't need to.
Speaker 2: Cabalala la because my shatter.
Speaker 1: First time voting, as you know, this is where the, Harris campaign wants to drive up the numbers to sort of counteract that tea in the middle of Pennsylvania, to, counteract the rural votes that, the Trump campaign is expected to get.
Speaker 4: And so what you've seen in the last couple of weeks, if this is an audition for managing a complex organization like The United States, Kamala Harris has passed the audition flawlessly. This has been, in many ways, a perfect campaign. And what the campaign is talking about now is the granular get out, the vote effort that you just don't see on the other side. On the other side, you're seeing Charlie Kirk going on ex Twitter this morning and begging people to vote.
Speaker 5: The last week has been a very good close for Kamala Harris, not a good close for Donald Trump. He hasn't been able to fill the rallies. He's adult. He has racist comedians opening. Whatever.
It's been a trashy week for Donald Trump. It's been a very strong week for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 6: ASU, the campus that we're on right now, ASU students have the population is about 74,000. So a lot of people voting here when it comes to a lot of the young women that we've been talking to. Reproductive rights is huge. It's a big, big driver. It's a lot of the conversation that we're hearing.
Speaker 7: We've got about 10 now completed of those rural heavily Trump counties. We're talking about places where he's gonna get seventy, seventy five, 80% of the vote. In all 10 that have now been completed, Trump's vote share relative to 2020 has gone up.
Speaker 8: I'm just gonna give a couple of, like, everybody take a breath, warnings here. We don't know what's gonna happen in Georgia. It's like a baby blue state, I'm gonna say, and that it has not been blue for a long time. It is a hard state for the Harris team.
Speaker 3: One of the things that was so striking about the public polling and the public data going into this election was that the public polling said, this is the closest race that we've ever had. Yeah. Basically. I mean, that was the consensus view. Tie.
And there was a real question about, well, maybe the public polling's wrong, and maybe it's gonna miss a few points in one direction or another. We don't know at this point. It's very early in the evening. But I would say at 08:50, like, it's a very, very close race.
Speaker 0: Yeah. I'd say that if you are just joining us right this second at 08:52 zero six, I had to summarize what's going on, no surprises. Yeah. Right. Pretty much that's what's happened thus far.
Georgia, it's too close to call. In Pennsylvania, it's too close to call. In Wisconsin, it's too close to call. In Michigan, sing it with me now. It's too close to call.
Speaker 9: Let's be blunt. I think when you watch what Donald Trump did in 2020, what Democrats were fantasizing about was a landslide victory. And so some of what was wanted and desired was a sweep that really wasn't on the table. We live in an evenly divided country, and it creates anxiety, but it also requires patience.
Speaker 4: It is fairly shocking, and I don't think it's something that should make us super proud. You just think about just the last two weeks and the things that that Donald Trump has said. If all of that gets you half of the votes
Speaker 5: 48, 49%.
Speaker 4: What does it tell you? I mean, we need to really take a step back and think about what does that say about us.
Speaker 9: I mean, blue all maybe there was always gonna be a blue all night. Some of the fantasies, right, of a landslide victory that would erase any doubt, that would eradicate, you know, the the the threat. I think it's going to be a late night. The polls have accurately captured this dead heat.
Speaker 0: Ari, since you were last with us, I've got nothing to report. Well,
Speaker 10: the crowd here is still large, is still loud, but a little bit more subdued. And the word that I keep hearing is the idea that people here are nauseously optimistic. Not just cautiously optimistic, but nauseously optimistic. The real focus now is on that blue wall in the Midwest. They knew that this was gonna be a long night and that it was gonna be a real nail biter, and it appears that that is exactly what we're looking at right now.
Speaker 0: We've been saying for weeks, says O'Malley Dillon, quote, that this race might not be called tonight. Those of you who are around in 2020 know this well. What we do know is this race is not going to come into focus until the early morning hours. Part of
Speaker 8: the objective of this email is to say to the people on the team, hang in there, guys. Like, it's not over. We're still getting votes in. We still need to keep talking to people. Keep people in lines.
Tell your grandma it's gonna be okay.
Speaker 0: We now have an NBC News call in the first one, Joy. North Carolina, call for Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: Yep. And, so it was,
Speaker 7: you know? We now have all the voting in Luzerne County. Donald Trump is gonna win this by a little bit more than 21 points. Four years ago, it was 14. We also saw him make those gains in Lackawanna County right next door earlier tonight.
Democrats wanted more Trump more of a Trump drop off here. They don't get it in Lebanon County tonight. In 2020, Joe Biden won here by essentially 27 points. Sits at about 24 and a half. In Chester County, more significant drop off for Harris from Biden.
Next door in Montgomery County, Harris is now running a point behind where Joe Biden finished in this county. Biden won this by a four and a half points in 2020. Trump has now taken the lead in Bucks County.
Speaker 0: NBC News now projects that in the battleground state of Georgia in the presidential race, Donald Trump has prevailed. The Republican Party will control the United States Senate. This is live from Howard University in Washington DC.
Speaker 11: We still have votes to count. We still have states that have not been called yet. We will continue overnight to fight to make sure that every vote is counted. Thank you all.
Speaker 0: A short and to the point statement from Cedric Richmond, the Harris campaign co chair. You now see them turn as one to start
Speaker 10: to leave the grounds. The evening was getting increasingly somber as people realized what this map is looking like. They turned off the TV set and just piped up the music because the room was starting to get increasingly somber.
Speaker 0: You know, we always knew it was gonna be down to the blue wall, and the blue wall is still uncalled at this point. But it sounds like the Harris campaign is is sort of keeping things tight in terms of whether or not they're gonna string people along into thinking this is gonna happen.
Speaker 8: What they went to that venue tonight hoping to see and witness was a historic election of Kamala Harris to the presidency Yeah. Was the end of the Trump era as they knew it. And so we don't know the outcome yet, but that is not what they are receiving, and they are being told to go home and wait till tomorrow. I I I that is that just I
Speaker 4: And nothing that was true yesterday about how flawlessly this campaign was run is not true now. I mean, this really was an historic flawlessly run campaign. She had Queen Latifah never endorses anyone. She came out and endorsed. You know, I mean, you she had every prominent celebrity voice.
She had the Swifties. She had the Beehive. Like, you could not have run a
Speaker 5: better campaign. In Western Europe and in The UK and in The Middle East, people are waking up
Speaker 6: to this.
Speaker 3: Oh, and they are.
Speaker 5: I've gotten people from Western Europe who are extraordinarily alarmed and terrified. May I reiterate,
Speaker 0: there are two of the seven swing states that have been called by NBC News right now, which is Georgia and North Carolina. None none of the other five states have been have been called at this point. You can see this is the battleground states, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, the so called Blue Wall. None of those states called by NBC News. In the swing state of Pennsylvania, NBC News now projects that that presidential contest has been won by Donald Trump.
It presents an insurmountable future here for for Kamala Harris and for the Democratic ticket. Let's watch as Trump takes the stage in Palm Beach, Florida.
Speaker 12: We overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible, and it is now clear that we've achieved the most incredible political thing. Look what happened. Is this crazy?
Speaker 3: Boy, it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: real tough speech for her.
