1:05 am

1:10 am
in front of the arena where the rally happened yesterday and nobody was blocked the secret service police as it were and a half a dozen other agencies they made sure that nobody blocked entry for trump supporters to come to the arena so no that's bogus nobody blocked supporters from entry not to take talk apparently there was a massive amount of to talk users and social media users young americans who managed to reserve tickets for them or are as they are sleepy that they would come and have never actually planned to come here and that might have triggered the campaign trump campaign to say we have a $1000000.00 requests for tickets is that. they are of course nixing there's no they're shooting back and say like no they have sophisticated systems to filter out bogus telephone numbers and orders is that for us so that's wasn't it they were and and anyway cibo blocked but that least of course then the question ok so why didn't
1:11 am
900000 or even more people show up here now it's reported was about 7000 people who actually made it into the arena. it's going to be an interesting 2 days to sort this we all know that donald trump likes big numbers and he didn't perform at all in terms of big numbers yesterday so one of thousands nothing else to set the stage for months to go until the presidential election what i saw one day can be night that the current polls in the count situation point to something more serious in mr trump's campaign to get re-elected. yeah if you mention it the polls half donald trump down and lacking behind in a wide gap looking behind democrats presidential candidate joe biden. that is serious for the president and that is why that is why he was itching to get out to restart or invigorated his campaign now with yesterday's tulsa events now that
1:12 am
didn't really work out not at all actually everybody's talking here about empty seats now and who's blocking protesters well that's not the narrative the president actually wanted to tell he wanted to come out strong out of the gate and show how successfully is by bringing a lot of people together meaning that he will have the votes in november now that is different and hillary clinton and joe biden is different to people in 2016 really really really didn't like hillary clinton well this is joe biden not to say that he is beloved by everybody but it is joe biden and not hillary clinton. stephanie months it's going to be a very interesting 4 months in from tulsa oklahoma thank you very much. sports now in the bundesliga is 2nd division promotion hopefuls hiden high and
