our friends in north carolina and in indiana. first, let's check in with pete he is at cackle berries. >> a comedy club. pete: that's right cackle berry's a great spot in terre haute. where are we in indiana a reliably red state in indiana? the county we are in is america's swing district. so goes this county. so goes america. this county has been right in picking the president sings 1956. and they have got continue right republican and democrat since. they went for 15 points for president trump in 2016 after going for obama in previous years. and polling right now shows it tight but a lot of folks here in indiana that we're going to talk to this morning feel like the economic recovery in this county has been indicative of the policies the president has advanced. there is a lot of hope they might be able to predict yet again a win for the president. we shall see. we will talk to the people and the county will get its say

today, guys. steve: must be a big day he is wearing a necktie. brian: and wearing his best gel. communion or election day? i'm not sure. pete, check in with you again. let's go to will cain is he live at the diner in clayton, north carolina. it is rocking already. will: it is rocking already. i don't have a neck ty on. all of a sudden i feel inadequate. yesterday pennsylvania set the bar pretty high. the diner there had a literal donkey out front. the rocking in north carolina 5:00 a.m. this place, these 15 electoral college votes in north carolina there is going to be a battle for this state. we are going to talk to awful our friends. [chanting four more years] find out what's important to them. why they are going to vote the way they are going to vote. i have been told get the sausage links, they are special here.

back to you in new york. brian: doesn't sound like battle ground state sounds like the battle has been won by the trump team. steve: delicious. take a bite. ainsley: next time we talk to him he can. steve: griff jenkins is live in wilmington, delaware where joe biden will be when the results roll. in griff, it's very interesting, at the last minute yesterday, joe biden announced out of nowhere, you know what? i'm going to go back to pennsylvania twice on election day. apparently they have seen the polling and it's too close to call. griff: that's right. steve, ainsley and brian. good morning to you. brian is going to hit philly first and then hometown of scranton where president trump was yesterday trying to turn out voters. let me give you a look here at the parking lot behind me, okay? this is the stage here in wilmington where at the end of the summer. he accepted his party's nomination and people came out in their cars to celebrate him being the democratic presidential nominee. that stage is where we are told

that biden will eventually address the nation and we will have to wait and see if that does indeed happen. of course we are hoping we don't have a protracted election results. now yesterday he was in western pennsylvania which is a place whereby den made his first campaign stop. and he was joined by his wife and lady gaga who is an anti fracking activist as the president likes to point out. biden was making his closing argument against president trump. watch. >> we're done with the chaos. we are done with the racism. we are done with the tweets, the anger, the hate. the failure, the irresponsibility. a man who first black woman running for president looks at her and calls her a monster. >> president trump was barn storming the state. 10 rallies in two two days. florida, georgia, iowa. and he ended his final rally after midnight in the same place he did in 2016 grand rapids,

michigan. >> this election comes down to a very simple choice. do you want to be ruled by the corrupt and selfless political maniacs that you are dealing with or do you want to be ruled by the american people? you are supposed to be ruled by the american people. [cheers and applause] griff: so only time will tell hot ultimate victor will be. we already have an early vote coming in first in the nation in dixville notch new hampshire the tiny township there. all five votes went for joe biden. we will have to see if president trump has a reaction for you guys when he comes up here in less than an hour. the president by the way watch election results coming in at the white house in washington. brian, ainsley, steve? steve: he will. ainsley: dixville notch also went for hillary clinton in 2016. thank you so much, griff. bring in donald trump jr. executive vice president of the trump administration, good morning to you. >> good morning. how is it going, guys?

ainsley: we are doing well. big day for your family today. your dad ended last rally last night in grand rapids. why was it important for him to do that and do you think when he hears that joe biden is going out today he might go back out. brian: to pennsylvania? >> harder to mobilize the president. i know my schedule is basically, i think between tv and radio hits i have 40 something interviews just one after another encouraging people to go vote. the reality is it was important for him to be there we joined him last night out there to finish off strong in a state that he has done so well for. and the reality is when you look at the rust belt. when you look at his accomplishments and compare donald trump's 4 months to joe biden's 47 years. it's not even close. donald trump built the strongest economy we have ever seen. created the lowest levels of unemployment. highest number of start up businesses. pulling us out of the endless wars. getting peace deals done in the middle east. name a single joe biden accomplishment other than i guess is he being taken over by the radical left and he is bringing socialism and marxism

into the democrat party. i think people have to recognize that today's democrat party is not your grandparent's democrat party. it's not your parent's democrat party. that's why the pittsburgh post gazette and others. these papers that haven't endorsed republicans in 30 to 40 years are all endorsing trump because they understand that he has done and delivered for the american worker who needs it most right now. brian: interesting, don, one of the things that kamala harris looking to close with that the president can't run on his track record. quick look at track record is lengthy, sweeping changes to the tax code. first step act. incomes for black americans defeating isis. killing baghdadi and border wall peace deals. creative the usmca goes on and on and on. can you say you don't like his accomplishments. you can say you don't like his agenda. but you can't say he has not accomplished a heck of a lot. i think it's a bad buzz phrase.

>> it really is. i think part of the problem, brian. whether you have a mainstream media that's hell bent against donald trump. when you have social media and big tech literally doing whatever they can in their multitrillion-dollar power to push the scales one way, you know, the average person may not even know about those accomplishments. they assume what they see on cnn is actually news is actually real and, you know, that's why we have spent so much time on our ground game. that's why we have been doing, you know, i know i have been doing three to five rallies a day myself all over the country to make sure we bring that message to the people that we are trying to represent. because for the average person, if they're not following this stuff closely and watching five or ten minutes of news today. it's 96% negative against donald trump. it's coming from the the most biased industry against donald trump and the world. whether that's big tech censuring us. now the biden family corruption. media and big tech is okay with potentially having a president

that is compromised by, what china, russia, yurik? >> kazakhstan? >> this is insanity. but that's what we're up against. which is why our ground game has been so important. steve: particularly in pennsylvania where i think the number is you have got a one person -- 1 million person advantage in pennsylvania. and the key is to have all those people who you have registered and whatnot over the last four years make sure they go to the polls and vote because pennsylvania not as much early voting as much of the other country. one of the things that is so important particularly western pennsylvania, don, is fracking. so many thousands of pennsylvanians make their money through fracking or ancillary industries. joe biden in the past made it very clear when he was running for the nomination he was going to get rid of fracking. now he's doing his best you know what? forget about what i said before, this is what i think now. here he is yesterday in pittsburgh. >> let me be clear i will not

ban fracking in pennsylvania. i will protect those jobs, period. no matter what donald trump says. but i will tell you what, i will, i will no longer fund oil companies with subsidies. steve: don, it's not what donald trump says. it's what joe biden said in the past. and at the conclusion of the last debate a couple weeks ago your dad was able to get out of joe biden that he would transition away from fossil fuels clean-up employ 10 million part-time i1,010,000,000 peoples country coast to coast. >> gas prices averaging around $2. relative when joe biden was vice president with their crazy regulations and it was closer to $5. that in and of itself is a tax hike that would be huge for the average american. it's not just about that. it's not just about the jobs.

it's about what it would do with fuel prices. what it would do to heating prices. again, joe biden has the advantage of having mainstream media be able to have him say whatever he wants. look at my twitter feed i have posted the video of him 17 times including at the democratic debate saying we are getting rid of it. we are getting rid of it. more importantly, kamala harris it's her number one issue. it's part of joe biden's platform to get rid of it they understand it hurts him in pennsylvania. no one is going to fact check him or say that he is lying. they let him get away with it because that's the deck that's stacked against us. kamala harris who we all know is the person who will be in charge it's her number one issue. the green people and aoc and all of these people that have so greatly influenced joe biden who pushed him to this radical agenda that's, again, why people have to understand this isn't your grandparent's democratic party. even if joe biden wanted to be a moderate, and he is not because look at the people he has surrounded himself with look at the policies he is espousing. even if they wanted to do you think he has the ability to stand up to that he goes out and

does one rally every couple of days and hides in the basement. he doesn't have the fortitude to stand up. like he wouldn't have the fortitude to stand up against china who has been paying off his family or russia who has been doing the same. we are compromised if the biden administration were to ever exist that should scare all americans. and they should vote accordingly. because this elections is about americans vs. algorithms from big tech and california, kamala harris' friends. it's about freedom vs. tyranny. it's about the never ending lockdowns that the democrats want to do. just think about it. donald trump promised a v-shaped recovery. and we got it. we have the highest g.d.p. growth ever recorded coming out of this thing. if you do another lockdown like joe biden would want, businesses that managed to get through that some of them will close their doors and never open them again. the millions of jobs that would go with that would be devastating to this country. far worse than anything this virus could ever do special now that you have therapeutics and.

that's the difference. you are voting for freedom this time around. watch the blue states are doing california and the laws. thanksgiving you can have one person over to thanksgiving of your family. that's wonderful guys, thanks. it's not reasonable. it's not rationale. but that's the point. this democrat party is no longer rationale or reasonable. they are radical. they are radical leftists and they have to be stopped. ainsley: all right. don, thank you so much for coming on. your dad is coming on. rush limbaugh we have quite a show this morning. thank you for spending a little bit of your time with us. >> thank you, guys. have great day and get out to vote. ainsley: you are welcome, you too. all the best today. over to jillian she has headlines for us. jillian: we begin with a fox news alert. at least four people are dead after an isis inspired attack in ventriclena, austria. people running for safety after gunfire erupted near a synagogue in the heart of the city. 17 people, including a police officer, were injured. one attacker was killed by police. he had a previous terror conviction. several arrests have been made as police search for other

possible suspects. president trump tweeting in part, quote: these aevil attacks against innocent people must stop. the u.s. stands with austria, france, and all of europe in the fight against terrorists. including radical islamic terrorists. also breaking this morning the white house setting up a non-scalable fence as the country prepares for post election violence. at least 16 states have activated the national guard. businesses are boarded up nationwide. in d.c., activist groupings are rehearsing election meltdown situations to stop voter intimidation. black lives matter and shut down d.c. are also planning demonstrations near the white house. more than 93,000 covid-19 cases reported in the u.s. on monday as the virus surges across the country. hospitals nationwide are overwhelmed. some are scaling back services and are struggling with a nurse shortage. the u.s. has reported nearly 9.3 million total cases with

more than 231,000 deaths. more than 61,000 children tested positive last week. that is the highest 7-day total since the pandemic began. tom brady and the tampa bay buccaneers barely escaping with a win on monday night football. >> joe is going for it and it is knocked away. >> the giants missed on a 2 point conversion on the final seconds to tie it but there was controversy. referees threw a penalty flag but then did not call pass interference bucks take this one 25-23. brian, i'm sorry that was probably pain fossil for you to watch. >> they have gotten so close in three or four games. if they won a game out of first that's how bad that division is painful but tom brady for him not to get rid of the giants early shows the giants still in a way have his number at least in the regular season. jillian: true. brian: or the post season. thanks.

pennsylvania emerging as one of the most hotly contested battle grounds with both president trump and joe biden visiting on the final day. if biden loses pennsylvania he is then the underdog. what will make or break this election? here to discuss it g.o.p. congressional candidate for pennsylvania. retired army infantry captain bestselling author sean parnell. first off, you along with mike doyle. you guys got your house vandalized. what happened? >> yeah. well, i mean i woke up one morning a couple days ago and walked out to my garage door and saw it was vandalized. election no, revolution, yes. congressman mike doyle had his office vandalized as well on the same night. really this is the radical left, right? and i think a microcosm of this state and this election. able the difference between order and chaos. freedom and tyranny your ability to chart your life or total government control over every

aspect of your life. listen to what joe biden talks about on the campaign trail. he talks about a dark winter being in our future. i reject that. and donald trump, i mean, he stands for a future that is bright and filled with promise and i think people in western pennsylvania see that. and i think they are going to embrace that today when they go to the polls. brian: mccain and romney could not get pennsylvania and they said the president was crazy to try for it. he got it. now on the ground you see two events for joe biden today. no one has done more on the ground literally on the ground on foot with his pledge than sean parnell. what's happening on the ground today in pennsylvania? >> well, so, the president was here in butler county, which is part of my district a few days ago. and i was with him. brian, we had over 50,000 people there in small town western pennsylvania. joe biden came to beaver county, 100% of beaver county pa 17. there are more democrats in the

porta potty line at a trump rally than there were at joe biden's rally in beaver county. lady gaga came to pittsburgh, pennsylvania. nothing says pittsburgh pennsylvania blue collar steel like lady gaga. i think it's pretty clear trump had 57,000 people. more enthusiastic audience than i have to say probably dance moves were a little better than lady gaga's as well. i have got nothing against lady gaga but the enthusiasm i am seeing on the ground here in western pennsylvania for the president is like nothing i have ever seen before in my life, brian. i'm telling you when i knock on people's doors. we have knocked on thousands for a year. every day for a year we have knocked on doors and done it safely. people, even democrats, 95% of people are whispering we are with you, we are with you. that's why i think to a certain extent you can't trust the polls. people are afraid to tell what you they really believe. the momentum on the ground here in pennsylvania is with donald trump and republicans down the ballot as well.

brian: well, a lot of people are saying that your race is too close to call. and i know no one could have put more effort in than you. sean parnell still going to be working going right through the tape today. sean, thanks so much. >> that's right. yep. get out and vote. brian: the president got you into this. let's see if he will help bring you into the seat. we have extended invite to sean's democratic opponent congressman conor lamb. we keep checking the machine. we get nothing. congresswoman maxine waters playing the shame game to get voters to back joe biden. bring you her comments plus the political panel here next. ♪ ♪

♪ i hit the ground ♪ steve: welcome back. it's election day 2020 as we kick off our show once again from new jersey city across the river from new york. meanwhile, overnight, a judge has blocked a republican bid to tossout thousands of drive-thru ballots in texas. what's that about? casey stegall joins us live in dallas as democrats fight to flip the lone star state. hey, casey. >> hey, steve, good morning to you. happy election day. the big question, of course, is here in texas are the in person voting numbers here at the polls going to mirror what we saw with the early voting figures because, boy, records were shattered all over the place. we have been talking about that

more than 9.7 million texans have already voted. that is more than half of the registered voters in this state. and it is more than all of the votes in 2016. for years there has been talk of texas going purple or even blue. but analysts predict despite the energy and despite the turnout 2020 is not the year. >> it's possible we just don't know. very high turnout means there are a lot of folks out there who we don't have a very good read on and they could go either way. i still tend to believe that donald trump will carry texas narrowly by maybe 3 or 4 points but the democrats will be increasingly competitive across texas. >> now, late yesterday a federal judge did toss out a republican led lawsuit attempting to invalidate some 127,000 ballots that were cast through a drive-thru and various drive-thru sites throughout

harris county which is the houston area. the judge sided with the state supreme court so those votes will be counted but just out of a precaution, the county election clerk says only one drive-thru voting location will be open in houston today. steve? steve: casey, reporting live from the metroplex. ainsley: maxine waters outraged by the possibility that black voters could help reelect president trump. >> for those black young men who think somehow they can align themselves with trump, not only are they terribly mistaken, any of them showing their face, i will never ever forgive them for undermining the possibility to help their own people and their own communities. ainsley: no matter the outcome of the election. how do we move forward as a country? let's bring in our political panel author of always a soldier

and host of rob smith is problematic podcast rob smith and director of social justice for the 2016 bernie sanders campaign tezlyn figur figaro and karith. >> i'm not here to bash miswaters but i do find it incredulous that she or any politician just assumes that they have the allegiance of a certain demographic. very reminiscent of joe biden saying that if you are not black -- you are not black if you don't vote for me. i think that's insulting. i think that -- that's identity politics at its worse. and it's a very dangerous game to play. people wonder why movements like blexit are happening people don't want to be taken for granted nobody period but people of color. go at that angle and words use i

hope it was hyperbole buy it's not okay. ainsley: rob she is talking to you. how do you feel about her message. >> why this black gay man is voting for donald trump. millions of black americans, i'm voting for donald trump today for results over rhetoric. i'm voting for donald trump because he is going to recharge the economy. again, i voted for donald trump as a black man because of the first step act because of permanently funding hvcus and this idea that maxine waters has ownership over african-americans to where she would never forgive us, no. she should be asks for our forgiveness for failing our district for the past few decades for literally taking african-american voters for granted and i think ainsley what's going on here is that they are very nervous about african-american turnout. now they bully black trump supporters that didn't work. then you had the riot come out that didn't work. now we ar they are shaming thatt

work. donald trump will probably get the highest percentage of a african-american vote of a republican president in recent history. terrified and shocked by this and this is how they are lashing out. ainsley: tezlyn, sean spicer agrees with him the president will outperform what he did in 2016 when it comes to the black vote. what do you think? >> well, sean can't tell folks what to do since we are dropping podcast i'm the host of straight shot no chaser. let me give it to you straight up. rob or myself or anybody else no democratic leader can tell folks how they are going to vote. people will have to gasp the fact that black people can make their own decision not just black leadership. it's also conservatives tell black people they need to get off the plantation that is ininappropriate and certainly just as offensive as any democrat leader that tells black people what to do and how to think it. goes on both sides as a black woman i would say maxine waters has been serving as long as i have been alive she has a lot of her own opinion.

online campaigns that also tell black people you are dumb if you don't voted for donald trump if you are not thinking straight if you don't vote for donald trump. we have a few hours left and black people are going to show up to show what you they think. as it stands right now 90% of black people do vote in the democrat party. personally myself i'm an independent voter. i think that our vote should be spread across the board. at the end of the day, rob or me or anyone else cannot tell black people how to move and what they should do. we will make that decision at the polls one by one until it's done. ainsley: rob, joe biden wants you to believe he has done so much for the black voter. talking about trump. he has done more to harm -- he has increased the income for black americans by 2.6%. when you look at paychecks, he has actually helped the black community. >> i mean, absolutely. look, you know, joe biden has been around for 47 years. and like the president says, and i do believe this, he has done more for america in 47 months than joe biden has in 47 years. and there is this focus on, you know, what joe biden says.

there is this focus on the rhetoric because they say nice things on the left, democrats. they say nice things for black americans about equity at this time and all this other stuff. but they don't do anything. so black americans are going to be going to the polls today and voting for a president that has done things that has tangible results for black america. this is what we need to be leaning more towards and not just rhetoric. we have heard rhetoric from joe biden for the past 47 years and we are over it. ainsley: karith, new to guess what percentage of the black voters will vote for president trump? >> wow, ainsley, that's a guess i can't make. i certainly think it will be higher than a lot of people have anticipated. what do hope is that people vote their minds and conscience. ainsley: and then i will end it with you, tezlyn, do you think there are those hidden voters, black hidden voters that will vote for president trump that are too scared to talk about it. >> i think there are voters who will voted what they feel is best for their families. what i will say is that no republican has ever ran in my

district. this ♪ just about president trump and joe biden. this is about that i live in a predominantly black neighborhood and republicans have never run in my district. they have never knocked on the doors. at some point republicans have to decide if they want black voters and it's going to come from the bottom up and yes democrats certainly can't take black voters for granted. both side. both of these parties have failed black voters as far as i'm concerned and twitter anti-and ig instagram certainly won't be telling people how to move. the day after the election we know and i suggest both parties get it together and hit the reset button and start all the way over. ainsley: that's right. both parties should be knocking on all doors. thank you so much. thanks ladies and gentlemen for being with us. we appreciate it. have a great day. >> thank you. >> thank you. ainsley: you are welcome. what are voters in swing states saying this morning as polls start to open? will cain and pete hegseth are having breakfast with friends next. ♪ ♪ you too!

spontaneous rallies that's happened here? >> um-huh. pete: is that people saying we want to do our part? >> yes. amazing. pete: beth, you are in security management. you talk about the economy motivating voters. >> you can't talk about how strong this economy has been under this presidency it. will continue to grow and be stronger for the next four years. pete: what do you credit that too. >> i think instead of having a politician. we have a businessman in the white house. that's what we have needed all along. pete: vego county went for president trump last election. do you believe the polls. >> i don't believe the polls. trump is going to win by a landslide. pete: you heard it right there. vego county. thank you very much for your service. appreciate it. thank you, guys. move over here. we have got mike the builder. he is in the middle of a conversation. we are going to interrupt him right now. mike, how are you doing? we are interrupting your conversation. good morning to everybody out

paying jobs that's a good thing for everybody. >> yeah. pete: probably translates into votes today. who thinks that havin vigo couns going to go for the president today? [cheers and applause] pete: if that's any indication it could be a good day and night for the president here and across the country. this county picks presidents. they have done it since 1952. will, i believe you are in north carolina, swing state. can you take it away from here. i know you have a lot of folks there. will: we will be watching that indiana. welcome to north carolina. the rocking comet diner it has been rocking since 5:00 a.m. let me introduce you so some of the folks we have been talking to this morning. this is may berry. gary and cindy. north carolina battleground state. 15 electoral college votes at stake. you have a prediction? >> trump is going to win by a land slide. the whole nation. the whole nation. will: take the whole nation in a land slide.

>> this election on election and freedoms. >> i personally believe that trump is the man for the time. the american values that we all have and that we want to see maintained, he is the manual for the hour. will: what is it about this hour gary that makes trump the right and iman in your mind. >> what's at stake some of the values we have as americans are going to be lost if is he not brought in to office or kept in office. i think probably the freedom we have of religion and the freedom that we have in being able to vote like we want to vote. so, i think he is the man for the hour. will: let me introduce to you a couple more friends. luke and sean. these guys are north carolina state grads. young guys. luke started a small business right almost out of college, right you? were telling me one of the big factors for you was you paid taxes in 2017. you are worried about the way that's going to change from them to now. >> i am. i'm voting for president trump because i believe tis tax cuts

and also if joe biden wins i'm afraid he is going to get rid of small business tax cut that donald trump put into place and republican majorities. will: finally listen, brian said earlier while north carolina might be a battleground state the rocking comet is pretty decided on which way they are going to go. introduce you one couple. go down here this is jean and robert. jean and robert's politics couldn't be more different. jean you are for president trump you told me, right? >> definitely. i said voted for him both times. >> why do you like trump? >> because he has got balls. >> robert, by the way, her friend not a big fan of president trump. doesn't think he is the right guy this time. you are telling me your relationship with jean and your political differences actually reveal a lot about america? >> yeah, we are complete opposite. we are both independents but she is a republican. and i'm more on the democratic side this time. and i just feel that president

trump is not handled a lot of situations well. the covid situation. he has handled will will the way we look in the world. and it seems like the united states is just in a very bad place right now. i think somebody else needs to have a chance. will: you are telling me your relationship. >> that has nothing to do with me and jean. me and jean love each other. will: you have political differences there at that table but still, like america, love each other. we will be checking in from the rocking come pet it. has been rocking all morning long here in north carolina.

history here. not much to tell you about. a little cold here in the northeast. we had a system that moved through and still windy conditions, the northwest we are going to see the potential for rain and a little bit of mountain snow. more active pattern this week. of the country is warming up and it's going to be dry. take a look at that time this forecast again the northwest is active. the snow and the rain that was in the northeast moving offshore but that is a really great looking forecast mostly sunny for much of the country and look at that, temperatures in the 60's and 70s. i don't know if i can deliver a better forecast than that for voting day, steve, ainsley and brian. back to you. brian: knocked down another excuse for not voting. all right, janice, thanks. meanwhile, let me tell what you was s. straight ahead. she was a never trumpner 2016. today our next guest says she couldn't have been more wrong? that voter makes her case for the president's re-election next. ♪ everyday you're eating acidic foods;

brian: let's talk about this vice presidential candidate kamala harris and what she believes. she actually said what she believes which really raised a lot of eyebrows which i would do if i had the time. let's listen to kamala. >> there is a big difference between equality and equity. equality suggests everyone should get the same amount. the problem with that is not everybody is starting out from the same place. so if we are all getting the same amount but you started out back there and i started out over here we should get the same amount you are still going to be that far back behind me. it's about giving people the resources and the support they need so that everyone can be on equal footing and then compete on equal footing. equitable treatment is we all end up at the same place. steve: isn't that curious? because as soon as she posted that over the weekend on twitter, people throughout the twitterverse and online started saying wait a minute, that

sounds kind communistic like karl marx? liz cheney congresswoman from wyoming said sounds just like karl marx a century of history has shown where that path leads we all embrace equally opportunity government enforced equality of outcomes is marxism the congresswoman says. ainsley: dan crenshaw said he tweeted this out the false promise of the left in one minute. start out with a well-intentioned point on equality of opportunity only to end with a true marxist intent. equity and outcomes. they leave out the part where equity must be enforced with unequal and tyrannical treatment. brian: listen, she actually believes this and she is saying it out loud even with nice music it is scary. and as one. ainsley: well-intentioned everyone should have the same amount. brian: you are in the wrong country if you want equal opportunities. you want call opportunity. best possible in order to reach

your limits, whatever that might be. but sings when -- this is why a whole generation is growing up not wanting to compete and if things don't work out your way you blame. this is everybody gets a trophy attitude. and she puts it to music. steve: you know what? maybe she thought bernie sanders was at the top of the ticket. it's joe biden who is trying to be a centrist. but that message email us at foxnews.com. brian: meanwhile president trump will join us live in his final statement. what is he going to say in his final statement. exclusive interview. can go and enjoy a day off. 14 events in 72 hours. steve: he never take as day off. one that could mean... a chance to live longer. opdivo plus yervoy is for adults newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread and that tests positive for pd-l1 and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene.

bowl. we covered the major events but this is just incredible knowing also that sadly this was the best spot to seat crumbling of the world trade center and, therefore, there is this huge tribute to those who lost their lives on 9/11 never far from anyone's minds especially in this area in new york, new jersey. so that was just a small ferry ride, new york you are checking in ellis island, you come new jersey and do your best, america, grab an ax, get a wagon and try to make your way. steve: of course today it's all about turnout. because both sides are counting on you the folk those are registered to vote but have not done early walk-in voting or mail-in ballots. today is the day they are counting on you to go out and put them over the top. somebody in particular, president donald trump who started his presidency the first tv show interview he did was with us and so, we are honored that on this the election day for 2020 he chooses to start his day with us exclusively and you

should see him in just a couple of minutes. but, first, we have got to tell you more about what is happening. ainsley: we have rush limbaugh coming up. steve: 8:30. ainsley: officially election day president trump and joe biden are making their final positions to voters on the trail. brian: nationwide, get. this more than 98 million americans have cast their vote. people are lined up to vote right now. this is a look at polling places in alexandria, virginia. it's one of 23 states now with polls open. i know in my hometown i have never seen a line ever. there are lines and it hasn't opened up yet. steve: that's right. people are excited. they are energized. we have live team coverage all across the country this morning. griff jenkins is live in wilmington, delaware. where joe biden is going to be when tonight's results roll. in so we are going to start with you, griff. there at the chase center. griff: steve, brian, and ainsley, good morning to you. i'm standing in a parking lot where at the end of the summer joe biden after accepting his party's nomination was here

celebrating with supporters in their cars on the stage behind me we expect to possibly hear from him later tonight here in wilmington. now, is he going to make two stops in pennsylvania today in nearby philly and then later in his hometown of scranton. yesterday he was in western pennsylvania making a pitch standing alongside his wife and lady gaga to the voters in pennsylvania. watch. now he wants us to believe so much he has done for pittsburgh. honk if you think are think this is a bunch of that larky. lying. donald trump has done more to harm black america than any president in modern history. griff: meanwhile president trump continuing to barn storm battle ground states. two rally, michigan, wisconsin, florida, iowa. and all the important important keystone state. >> you know we pin pennsylvania,

we win the whole deal. from scranton. he left at 9 years old. he is a stone cold phoney. this guy has no clue. joe is not calling the show. and i guarantee you he won't be calling them for very long. just wait for results first in the nation. tiny township of dixville notch. the five total votes there went to joe biden. ainsley: hillary clinton won there in 2016. not a good indication. ainsley: on ains. steve: one of those things they all get together. doing it for decades. they all show up at the same time and they vote and they immediately announce who it is most states don't announce until tonight it's dark. ainsley: only five voters in

this cute little town. brian: the president has done 17 events. he finished up in michigan. themes ran throughout. one of which was a prediction. this momentum going to shock the world and did it in grand rapids. let's listen. in this is not the crowd of a somebody who is going to lose the state of michigan. this is not the crowd of a second place finisher. we are going to have a red wave. they call it the great red wave like nobody has ever seen before. like nobody has ever seen. i think we are going to win everything. i think tomorrow is going to be one of the greatest wins in the history of -- [cheers and applause] >> last night. all the rallies. he ended there in the same spot he ended in 2016 because 2016

brought him so much luck. and back then he was not supposed to win. and, of course, the polsters were wrong. and when you talk to the trump team, they feel the polsters for the most part are wrong as well. the guy who runs the trafalgar poll felt that he shy trump voters this year 2016 for the polsters because when you call up and say who do you like or they just outright lie. ainsley: won in michigan by almost 20,000 votes. neck and neck where he ended last night. and donald trump last night said, you know. we talk about the shy voter. i don't like to use the word shy. my voters are not shy. maybe the hidden voter but thought the shy voter. he also has been playing video clips of joe biden's flip flop on fracking. and last night yesterday joe

biden was out on the campaign trail and he said he never opposed fracking. he actually said that if you watch the clips we have july 31st, 2019. we would make sure it's eliminated. decemberno more. no more fracking that did not bode well with the folks in pennsylvania. you had the head of the pennsylvania chamber of commerce. he rebuked the fact that lady gaga was is there with biden last night because she has publicly owe 30eze opposed frac. our affordable accessible energy supply is one of pennsylvania's greatest competitive advantages. indirectly in direct jobs and energy costs for pennsylvania residents. brian: get this straight if you look at the president and fornlter vice president's schedule. schedule. then a couple days off after the debate. pop up two or three on the schedule get up and it wasn't.

pay off. show up, very few people are there. very few people knew about it ahead of time. very few local cameras there. not giving interviews that would reveal a policy or agenda. hopes to get local press involved. almost as if he is going through the motions. when we got up today and found out that he is going to pennsylvania i'm thinking to myself why? he has got to be worried. steve: two stops in pennsylvania. one in philadelphia where we have heard, according to the early analysis, is that apparently joe biden has been under performing hillary clinton in philadelphia. also, in detroit, michigan, under performing as well from 2016. so joe biden is going to be in philly. is he also going to be in scranton, which, as he has said many times out on the stump that's where he is from. of course his family moved away when he was 10. now, going into the this morning, democrats had in pennsylvania. and both sides feel it comes down to pennsylvania. that's why joe biden is there.

in pennsylvania, the democrats have a 750,000 early vote advantage, which sounds daunting. but, there are 2.6 million trump voters who the trump team is counting on. and so that's why they are encouraging everybody to get out the vote today and, you know, vote like there is no tomorrow because for the trump team, there isn't. and the same thing for the biden team. today is the day you go and vote. ainsley: well, joe biden is confident, he says that he's going to win. he says they predict a big win, meanwhile president trump predicts a great red wave. here is joe biden last night. this was him yesterday in pittsburgh. telling the president it's time to pack -- >> time for donald trump to pack his bags and go home. [cheers and applause] i honest to god believe the majority done with the chaos. the corruption, the failures,

irresponsibility the indifference to american lives. indifference to america's dignity. we got a lot of work to do. ing not division and distraction but real, real, real healing of this country. if you elect me your president, i'm going to heal this country and we're going to act. we're going to act to get covid under control. brian: the angriest presentation in the history of presidential candidates. he halls never stopped yelling on the few times he was campaigning. keep in mind he is only talking to 10 people and there is a microphone there. he has been doing this almost 50 years. i think he should get the linkage. meanwhile, president obama could show him how. president obama is in a conversation and is he screaming at you. this struck me. i'm going to ask the president about this when he joins us shortly. general mali will campaign manager under no scenario will donald trump be declared a winner on election night. really? really really fundamentally how we want to approach tomorrow?

isn't that interesting? i think the president has a say in whether he wins or not i didn't know whether jen o'malley would be deciding who the ultimate victor is election turnouts talking a lot about pennsylvania we should. florida and that makes sense with what the people are doing on the biden side is sending some of their heavy hitters over to georgia. african-american turnout is dipping below 30%. when it's high they thought that might shock the world and split that state blue. if it goes below 3036 dropping to 34. that gets a lot of people feel as though the senate races and the presidential races in that state will stay red. steve: well, sigh, it's a contrast between the two teams. the trump team does not believe the polls. the biden team believes the polls and feels as if the president is going to lose and the former vice president is going to be winning. it's interesting. cbs put out an item yesterday

that said and this is something we hadn't heard from cbs news.com. and that is that trump can win the election if there is an election day surge, which is interesting. also, same conference call that you are talking about where the biden team was talking about turnout and joe biden is going to come out what's going on trump camp analyzed what the biden camp was saying e they reconstructed their numbers given the vagaries of the conversation. essentially that the biden team's analysis is that trump is one state away from winning. ainsley: you know what's interesting? i was watching joe biden yesterday. when you watched obama the day before, to your point, obama is so energetic. everyone loves him in the democratic party. he is such a great speaker. no one can argue. brian: for the republican party he also polarizes. that's why people question.

ainsley: when you watch the trump rallies and see the amount of people out there that he is fighting for this country and many people agree with him. and they like that he just does what he says is he going to do. both of those men, i believe, can get out the vote. when you watch joe biden, i believe if he wins it's going to be a referendum on trump or all of those progressives. he's not as exciting. brian: true, ainsley. the press have totally protected joe biden. ainsley: absolutely. brian: no one talks about his terrible presentation and terrible crowd. ain't ains you don't get the full story. brian: can you pull up in car and be a big crowd. never hear inside the biden camp tension on x, y, or z. none of that interesting intrigue inside camp for the first time ever. you mean everyone gets along and agrees on messages. what about him not talking five straight days. what happened series of gaffes yesterday. minor gaffes yesterday. but add up to somebody that is falling apart under his first day of pressure. why is that not out there. you are going to see these gaffes shortly from yesterday.

ainsley: they know it's out there but they want him. in it's the trojan horse issue. steve: i will tell you what today it's november 3rd and what have see seen so far? record early vote. nearly 100 americans have already cast their ballots on who they would like to sees a the next president. and the. ainsley: unbelievable. steve: something we have never seen in our life times. what are they doing in new york city? they spent the last week boarding things up because retailers and businesses and apartment buildings are terrified that there could actually be some sort of looting as we saw in june when civil unrest swept portions of the country. brian: 26 cities are boarding up and beefing up security. 26 cities boarding up and beefing up security. and for people to say if trump loses or the trump supporters lose they are going to wreck the city. that's just not the way they do things. ainsley: that's not what we have seen in the past at least. the national guard is ready. and the president said rioting,

looting arsonists. you have many be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. steve: we hope to have the president with us very, very short loy. in the meantime i'm positive we have jillian mele with the news from our world headquarters. jillian: the teenager accused of killing two men during a protest in wisconsin is being held on $2 million bail. kyle riten house making his first court appearance in the state since being extradited from illinois. his lawyer says the teen was defending the streets in kenosha during violent protests over the police shooting of jacob blake. ritenhouse is due back in court next month judge ruled gavin overstepped power during the pandemic. this order requiring mail-in ballots sent to every registered voter. two state lawmakers had sued the lawmaker for abuse of power. the ruling limits newsom from issuing new executive orders that might contradict state laws. gun sales in the rust on a record pace this year. more than 18.6 million have been

they have people dragging signs with planes that's on the ground. you know, i live down here in martin county. i have seen at least flotillas. on the water. yesterday alone i was on the phone with a republican friend of mine shouting he is like what's that horn honking? don't worry it's only the 30th trump parade outside my house today. something is happening, guys. even the blue counties down here in miami-dade you are seeing surges in republican turnout. something is happening. >> yeah. dan, his name is sam demarco the chairman of the republican committee of one of the counties an important county is that in pennsylvania guys? do you remember -- it's from "the washington examiner." i'm an elected official. i have had at least a dozen officials tell me they are voting for trump. they say they don't like where their party has gone to so farred to the left as a democratic elected official they can't come out and say it and admit it. how many of these folks that are voting today do you think are

those hidden trump voters? >> i think a substantial number. i think there is a misperception especially with pennsylvania democrats they are celebrating that they have a couple hundred thousand vote lead going into election day. ainsley: is he in pennsylvania by the way. >> assumption those democrats are voting for biden. that's an awfully big assumption considering what happened with pennsylvania working class democrats from 2016. fundamental question here i think a lot of working class dirt under the fingernails democrats are saying to themselves. i do really want this? do i really believe going forward that the government can handle my wallet and my family's finances better than i can? they can handle my kid's education better than can i? they can handle my healthcare better than can i? i don't think they believe that. and let me be crystal clear, that's all vokd is offering. is he not offering solutions for you. offering a whole lot of solutions for him and big e. expanded government in your life. that's the close,ing argument.

when you are sitting in your do they know more about thee than i know about myself. if that answer is yes biden is your guy. most rational people understand the answer is no. brian: also people understand, too, what joe biden says he is going to do. we also know that when barack obama came out it galvanized what everyone's memory said what it was like from 2008 to 2016 you are saw taxes go up and regulations go up. you didn't see any revisiting of any trade deals. so now, the usmca is in play. you also understand that not many people are believing you now understand when it comes to the trade deals no one is buying the fracking story. the fracking story is not resonating in michigan either. did i not know fracking was such a big deal in michigan. man, it is important. we find out that kamala harris actually sued the biden -- obama administration over fracking

regulations so something is not adding up with their stump speech. >> no, their speech is nonsense. let me be clear. you know, they had mayor pete on last night on fox who could -- i mean probably the worst spokesman for the biden campaign in human history. i have think he loses 10% of the vote every time he opens his mouth. blatantly lying last night saying how the obama recovery and the obama recovery was at the pan pantheon. he is supposed to be the smart guy. remember mayor pete he? was supposed to be the wonk? does he even understand the numbers? do you understand any reasonable analyst will tell you the obama-biden economy where joe biden was the vice president was the worst recovery from a recession in modern american history? that's based on data and numbers. does he understand by the way that that recovery was awful and that joe biden look it up, folks is, proposing tax and spending increases 2.5 to 3 times greater than what obama did?

you think that recovery sucked? pardon my language. this economic recovery covid and biden will be no recovery. you will be walking into a depression. i mean, just look at the numbers. it's right there in front of you. don't take my word for it. brian: dan, i do have facts for you. i i watched that mayor pete interview. stock market went up more under president obama than it did under president trump. that's wrong. trump went up 56%. obama first four years 48%. that's a little bit of a difference. but why get caught up in numbers? >> he tried a little trick there. he tried it after inauguration day. but mayor pete is not telling you it's after election day where the markets start to figure out, brian, shocker, who the president is going to be. the guy who wins election day. typically swears in to be president. that's the trick, mayor pete tried to try to hose you all. steve: one thing you are missing by not being here in new york

your hometown, dan, half of new york city, it seems is covered in plywood right now. worry is if the election goes a certain way there could be looting and there could be violence. essentially things we saw earlier in the summer. in fact, the chief of the department terry monahan said this our intel has gotten a lot better. our responses to getting cops out to the scene has gotten a lot better. we have identified those who are calling or willing to cause damage or destruction as well. we will be on them. we know who they are also one of the department chiefs said that the looters are emboldened, which creates unprecedented scenarios for the officers. guys like you were. >> steve, listen, this is a darn shame. i have a lot of friends. foreguest the blue state, red state for a minute. are all human beings and american citizens. i don't care about your

politics. yob deserves. i don't care if you are a communist. you don't deserve business you don't deserve business to be pillaged attacked on the street. i grew up in new york. a native new yorker. i have family that support trump. i have a friend out in california who is a manager of a restaurant in beverly hills. i can't say oops i'm afraid his business will be destroyed he knows who he is. he loves donald trump when i went to his restaurant i can't say hello in the restaurant i'm afraid people will recognize you. this the is kind of stuff. does this not feel like the third world? we are boarding up our businesses and steve have you noticed my second points on this if i may? this is only happening in liberal cities? i live in martin county, florida. nobody is boarding up here. everybody is getting their bagels and coffee like i am. in joe biden wins tomorrow the sun will come out. i'm not going to put on a hat and started destroying people's

property. if he wins he wins. we fight again in four years. why is it the liberal cities worried about. it's not trump supporters burning them down we don't live there. ainsley: some of the people here are saying they want to stay open. they need to make money because they were closes for so long over the last few months. they are staying open but they do have construction crews on the ready who knows when this election will be called. it might not be called tonight. what if it's called friday or two weeks have from now. we don't know what will happen. do you think there will be rioting? a lot of the rioting after george floydeth's do you think the rules of the election will cause it? >> well god and i am not using the are lord's name at all i mean it. god i hope not. god forbid it does. if you are asking my opinion if i was a betting man i wouldn't bet my life on the fact that there won't be. really. it's sad that we have to have this conversation in the united states of america.

reare a constitutional republic here. we have proudly transitioned power without this stuff. i mean, and now we are having conversations like you know, it's james madison fleeing the white house. taking the dolly taking the george washington photo with him god forbid donald trump wins? this is insanity. as i said and i can't say this enough. this is elks exclusively a liberal city phenomenon. exclusively. really really sad. i feel bad for the peaceful liberals there who own businesses who have to worry about this crap. brian: they are surrounding the white house and evacuation plan for the white house. surrounding the white house with special anti-climb fencing for a reason. the other thing. >> they are worried, brian. brian: maybe they don't believe -- maybe law enforcement doesn't believe the polls either or i have got a hold of a few lists that are already out there of the predetermined demonstrations that are going to morph into riots. and look out wisconsin in two separate cities seattle, we're

going to be seeing it, there is going to be new york city. there is three, four, five separate ones planned in massachusetts there is four. in maryland there is three, four planned and illinois there is six. so this is already been picked up through intelligence that somebody is not organically sponsoring an emotional outburst to an election result. somebody is scripting the emotional outburst to an election result. and i think we have got to get to the bottom of that as americans not as somebody belonging to a party. >> you know, brian, what's particularly offensive about this is i warned about this on my show on this network and elsewhere. i warned about this about the potential for liberal far left violence after election day based on their own words, brian. i was only quoting the documents of the transition integrity project the far left group talking about and i quote for the liberals, quote. that means they said this and wrote, this okay? they were preparing for a street fight not a legal one. they even put the disclaimer in.

we are talking about a street fight. it was their words. and do you know what happened? the "new york times" wrote a hit piece on me for quoting them. one of the guys involved in this thing on twitter put a death athletic out there to people who exposed them. and the "times," i'm not kidding wrote a hit piece on me and mark levin for quoting them. i have been warning. it's not right leaning groups threatening to burn down new york city and washington, d.c. you will not find a single trump supporter there with a molotov cocktail. it was left leaning groupings. i warned about this. it was the times again who chose to put a hit piece out on me saying we were stoking flames by quoting leftist groups threats to violence. it was amazing. i couldn't believe it was happening. steve: well, dan, we believe the president is going to be calling in about the next 90 seconds. what is your prediction for tomorrow? >> well, listen, i think the president is -- i think florida, i would be stunned if he loses

florida. i would say keep your eye on states like nevada and even virginia there is some fascinating numbers coming out of virginia. i say to the minority voters out there. black and hispanic community the democrat party has done jack squat for you in the last 40 years and jack left town. they have done squat. this president is the first one in modern american history to go out and actively court the african-american community. please think about your vote was your life better off before this plague with donald trump or barack obama regardless of your skin color? at least donald trump for the first time in decades the g.o.p. candidate went out and said to the black and hispanic community i'm here for you. i'm your guy. you matter. here's why and here's what i have done. the democrats haven't done squat for the black community and i'm glad to see people are starting to wake up and see this president for what he was a guy who gives a damn. ainsley: what percentage of the black community does he need? >> if he gets 15% of the black vote, this race is over. they have no chance to victory.

philadelphia and detroit, pennsylvania, michigan respectively, they can't possibly win if the president gets 15% or more of the black vote. and, ainsley, that is very, very possible. don't think for a second that can't happen. and exit polls may underplay the amount of the black vote the president gets. remember, you are relying on people coming out of the poll to tell you who they voted for. can you imagine the pressure to say otherwise if you voted for donald trump and you happen to be black knowing you are probably going to be looked at with that eye you know by people? steve: that eye. ainsley: that hidden shy voter they say. >> you know it. brian: dan, stay healthy, keep fightighting and keep in touch. >> thanks a lot. we appreciate it. thanks, guys. brian: all right. so let's now bring in the president of the united states. he joinshis morning live from the white house. after 14 events in 72 hours. finishing up in grand rapids, michigan.

just a few hours ago. steve: 15 minutes ago. brian: mr. president, welcome back. and welcome to election day. >> well, thank you very much. and i hope dan is going to be okay. dan is a great guy. dan is a great guy. brian: yeah. is he going through some very important treatment and i know he is going to pull through. >> he will be tough. he is so tough. he will beat it. brian: absolutely. when you spar for a living in an octagon to relax, you are a tough guy. meanwhile, let's talk about you. you finish up in michigan, a state that you won last time by just a few thousand votes. you know, every vote matters. how do you feel today in 2020 on election day as opposed to 2016? >> well, we feel very good. we have crowds that nobody has ever had before i can say that. i think you can agree. it's been incredible. the crowds have been incredible. brian: huge. >> nobody has ever had it before. so, i think that translates into a lot of votes. and we're going to see very soon. we are getting very good response. you know, we are getting a very

early response. i think we are are doing incredible in florida. and you were just talking about throughout the vote the african-american vote, et cetera. i think we are doing really well with african-american vote. i think we are doing very, very well with the hispanic vote. and it's been, you know, it's been an a great run. but it's been a great three weeks, incredible three weeks. i think since the debate, you know, the second debate was very good. and i was also interviewed by savanna guthrie and that was, i think, a very good -- i wouldn't say she was exactly nice to me but a lot of people watched it. a lot of people that was a special or i guess they would call it a town hall. didn't feel like a town to me. but it was a very good debate or interview, i guess people say. steve: right. >> the debate. the second debate in particular, i think, was something that worked out very well. and then we did the, you know,

we got back -- we are lucky we got it back because for aered pooh of time we did not think we were going to get these big rallies back. we got them back and they were amazing. i mean, they were amazing. you add it all together and i think we really took off. steve: thanks for calling in. >> this has been a very special show for me. i have liked it from day one we have had a great relationship. and then you have a great show. so it's my honor. steve: thank you very much. and we are honored because you selected our show to be the first tv interview you did as president. so it's great that you would join us today as well. you know, i know that the trump team has worked the last four years in the rnc to build a network of people who you registered and who could get out the vote, especially for today.

so it all comes down to that but, for the person who is undecided, on this election day morning, and let's say they are trying to decide between you will and joe biden, but they have had a rough year. you know, the pandemic has been tough on everybody. maybe somebody in their family has lost their job. maybe they are worried about their healthcare. what do you say to that person to say go -- give me another four years. let's not switch horses right now? >> well, it's, you know, become pretty standard. we built the greatest economy in the world. it was horribly interrupted by something that should have never happened. came in from china, the plague. the plague from china, horrible situation. and we had to shut it down. and we had to learn about it. we had to shut it down and we did the right thing. we saved 2 million people, we saved a lot of people that, you know, the original model was

2.2 million people. and so if you use that model, you go that was the main model, you use that model, we saved 2 million people and now we are building it back up again. and we had the best economy. we had the best -- nobody had ever seen anything like it. and now what happens is we build it up again and we are doing it in a record clip. you saw the 33.1 on thursday. that's the biggest number we have ever had g.d.p. and we are on a shape to build this up to a level that nobody has ever seen anything like it. i really think that we're going to end up with an economy that will be better than last year. and last year was a record. last year was the best economy we have had. so, we have a chance to building is that will be fantastic. now, in addition to that, we are doing very well and i say rounding the corner. some people don't like that phrase. but i use that phrase. we are coming out with vaccines,

the likes of which nobody has ever seen before. we have many companies. we have three main companies but we have many companies coming out with them. they are going to be activated very quickly, distributed and activated very quickly. and that will be that. it's going to be -- we will, you know, tame originally but ultimately get rid of the china plague. you see what's happening in europe. it's a terrible thing. it's a very terrible thing. this is a horrible disease. we have learned about it. it affects the elderly. i tell the story about barron trump he had it for about two seconds. just went through him and just it's gone. and the immune system on children -- that's why you got to get the children back to work. children back to school. you have to get the people -- they have to go to work. we have to open up our states. and that will happen. i think now politically that will happen because you have the

date and politically it will happen. but we have a very interesting -- i mean today is going to be a very interesting day. it will be a day that, you know, that had this day once before and it worked out very well. and this day is going to be something that's going to be very important and very, very special. i think. ainsley: mr. president, you have got joe biden and kamala harris, they are crisscrossing pennsylvania. they are going back out there. i don't know if that means they are worried. i want to get your take on that. and, also, what are your plans today you said yesterday you said we have a lot of big surprises today. what are those surprises? >> so, i'm doing a big series of phone calls and to some really good people. you are the first one by the way. but i'm doing a big series of calls. and in doing the calls, i'm going to be talking to some people literally, you know that have been very important both to me. some very important calls and some people that have been very loyal to me over the years. you know, i like those people,

too. even if they reach about 15 people that's okay with me. ainsley: you mean media introduce. >> we have a headquarters over in virginia just to say thank you to all of the people. and that would be probably around 10:30 or so. i noticed that biden went out and i think he is campaigning a little because is he worried. we have seen tremendous swing changes. we have seen actually the last three days this we minds me i hope it reminds me of four years ago. tremendous changes have taken place over the last week tremendous. and. steve: like what? >> we think we are winning texas very big. we think we are winning florida very big. we think we are winning arizona very big. i think we are going to do very well in north carolina. i think we are going to do well in pennsylvania. we think we are doing very well everywhere. and it's more than thinking. you know, we are seeing trends. brian: right. >> so you can tell this isn't

just like taking a poll. this is based on trends. and we think we are doing very well in states, a lot of states, really. a lot of states. brian: i think the country respects somebody that was willing to work to get something and i think no one doubts your work ethic. what have you done is almost impossible. those five events yesterday. the 14 events in 72 hours. i can't imagine anyone else doing it. and standing up and then being on for two hours in front of 25,000ed people. i don't thin25,000 people. i was shocked to see this quote from jen o'malley from the biden campaign when she was asked on a conference call about the results tonight she said under no scenario will donald trump be declared a victor on election night we think that's really fundamental to how we want to approach tomorrow, meaning today. how do you take that statement? >> that was a weird quote. i agree with you. that was a very weird quote. and i don't know what she meant, except maybe she is talking

about the very strange decision made by the u.s. supreme court that allows extra time and a lot of other things frankly. but allows extra time and it allows for chaos, frankly. and so maybe she is talking about that. maybe you can blow out pennsylvania so you don't have to do it. brian: pennsylvania and north carolina. >> i cannot imagine what that quote meant. that was a strange quote. brian: it doesn't intimidate you? >> no. i think i have gotten to a point we don't get too intimidated. i have no idea who she is. she has something to do with his campaign, i guess. no. it was a strange quote. it was not a smart quote either. i think. steve: so, mr. president, the analysis of what they're talking about and some of the things you have said they are suggesting that you may declare victory if the early numbers favor you. at what point will you declare

victory? >> when there is victory. if there is victory, i think we will have victory. i think the polls are, you know, suppression polls. and i think we will have victory. but only when there is victory. you know, there is no reason to play games. and i think we will have victory. you know, i look at it as being a very you know, a very solid chance at winning. i don't know what the chances are. i don't know how they rate the chances. but i think we have a very solid chance of winning. and i think a lot of that has to do with the tremendous crowd size. i mean, a small event. there was no small event. every place, no matter where we went,. brian: minnesota. >> the largest, your friends tucker did something on it last night. i don't know if you got to see it. but he said he was looking at the internet or whatever and he is looking at these massive crowds. like he is has neve he has neven

areas that were, you know, great areas as far as i'm concerned. these are great people. like the heart and soul of our country. and so, tucker, did a piece on this last night on this -- on these incredible crowds, these massive crowds. steve: yeah. >> it hasn't taken place ever in history in the history of our country. what we have done in terms of crowd size and every -- you know, i do -- i really did six yesterday because the one from the day before went until 2:00 in the morning. so then i got up and did one at 8:00. so, you know. if i can include the one that lasted until 2:00 in the morning, that was six of them and, you know, these aren't like speeches. these are massive rallies. these are really big where you have 30, 40,000. we had a 51,000 people. and they are built in largely in airports. always open. you know, because of the corona.

but they are built in airports because we have the room. and sometimes the airport wasn't big enough. it was crazy. and if that's any indication, because to me that's like the ultimate poll. that's better than somebody who said he interviewed 213 people and then they send you a check for a million dollars. we don't do that. i think it's the ultimate poll. and it's been, you know, honestly, it's been so much fun for me. there is so much love in those rallies they say by many of them we love you, we love you, we love you. they are screaming we love you. and i don't think it's ever happened before. you know, i have never heard that term people like ronald reagan but that never happened to him. and the people is looking for it to have happened because they like to show that i wasn't the first. but, nobody has ever seen that

happen. there is tremendous spirit. and there is something else. they call them organic where they just spring up thousands of cars that stretch for 98 miles, tractors, thousands of tractors and farms in iowa in different places. have you seen the boats. the boats are you know, 6,000 boats at a lake. and all going for records. it's been incredible. actually. incredible. steve: pardon my interruption a couple of times. i wanted to comment to get your comment about the fact that last night i think it was at your last rally in michigan when the crowd was going we love you. we love you. and then you said don't make me cry. were you a little emotional right then because that could have been the last rally of your political life? >> well, i was being -- i was kidding, actually. but, you know, there is a little

emotion. but i have said that a few times, actually. don't make me cry. don't make me cry. you will make me cry. and that will be very bad for my image as president. and, you know, so i was actually kidding. steve: so you have never cried as president? >> i take my fingers and i put them under my eye don't make me cry. i do that kiddingly. but, you know, but it is emotional. it's incredible. it's tremendous love. nobody has ever seen it before. you know. i bet you have never heard of it before. ainsley: you ainsley: when they say they love you, i say i love you too. when you love someone it's nice to hear back. do you love the job, has it been worth it because you've been under so much attack? >> well, it's been mean, you deal with shifty schiff.

they say president -- they all call me president. they used to call me donald. it was just terrible. they react differently to me now than they used to. the old day, hey, let's go to dinner, don, mr. president. we somehow get together some day. it changes, but you 3 are friends, okay. but it is very different. but you deal with people that are very deceptive but they'll go, mr. president, tell me, who is the country that's most difficult to deal with, is it russia, is it china, is it north korea? sir, is it north korea? no, by far the most difficult

country to deal with is the u.s. it's not even close and they all say you have to be kidding, no i'm actually probably not kidding. we have very, very deceptive people, we have some people that, you know, i think they have -- i think they are sick in some ways like in adam schiff, i think adam schiff is a sick person. we deal with them. we just deal with them. it's a shame. it's a shame. brian: right. >> the inner workings of the u.s., very difficult. unless you want to sit there and do nothing or unless you want to do everything that they want and we don't want to do that. brian: i know you said before that i wouldn't have gotten in this job if the previous administration wasn't so bad. one to have things he said last night, he's going around

spreading covid like he's a carrier because he cares more about having big crowds than keeping people safe. do you want to respond to the former president? >> fortunately he's drawing flies and fox puts him on more than anybody else which is sort of shocking to me because fox has changed a lot and somebody said, what's the biggest difference between this and four years ago and i say, fox. it's much different. you still have great people. you're three of them. brian: can i say one thing -- what they try to do with fox -- >> excuse me? brian: we are trying to show both sides. here is president trump live, here is joe biden live because we -- >> ainsley: we can't criticize another network. brian: i don't think it's an endorsement of anybody. when president obama speaks does he get under your skin?

>> in the old days they wouldn't put on sleepy joe every time he had opened his mouth. they had other networks for that frankly. much different operation, i'm just telling you it's much different. you have great people when you have sean and you have laura and yourselves and you have some incredible people. tucker has been great. you have -- i think you have incredible people but it's much different. i could name some of your side players and you'll interview in a period of time, you had democrats more than republicans and, look, it's different, you know. i'm not complaining, i'm just telling people. it's one of the biggest differences of this season compared to last. i think this season we have much more despite that and this is hard to believe, i think we've done actually much better, we obviously ran a good campaign. it was, you know, sort of a

miracle campaign but we have a record to go on. we have done a lot, you know, when you look at tax cuts and you look at regulations. biggest in history. you look at all of the things that we have done. space force, we rebuilt the military. we rebuilt the entire military. it was a mess. brian: mr. president, the other thing is -- >> the vets have been really treated badly for a long period of time and we got accountability done for the vets which nobody thought could be done. people treat them badly. you couldn't get people out. the vets lived in hell, they just lived in hell and you couldn't get them out. what we've done and so many other things, the wall is going to be completed within a very short period of time, we are -- over 410 miles.

it's been amazing. and big impact. you see. the best numbers that we've ever had in the southern border. we did so -- like right to try. right to try. it's a big thing. they have been doing for many years. if you're terminally-ill we have a great drug, not approved but we can get the drug and start on somebody that's really ill. sign a document, takeaway liability from the companies. if people have right to try instead of going all over the world or going home and dying, they can do this. they've been trying to do that for 50 years. they were never able to get it worked out. brian: mr. president -- >> every wanted -- jerusalem becoming the capital.

they all wanted to do it. i understand why they didn't because it was tremendous pressure once you got in not to do from other countries. tremendous pressure. like you haven't seen before. but i did it, i got it done. we've done more -- i have a list you could read it through a day. so we've done a lot, you know, very proud of it. great for the country. brian: mr. president, one of the things on your stump speech that you talked about is joe biden is not going to be moderate, if he's moderate he will give in to left flank. listen to his agenda if biden is, indeed, elected, listen. >> we understand that electing biden is not the end-all, it's the beginning. i think as the result of work that all of you have done biden's proposal are a lot stronger than they were in the

primary and proposals are stronger. do they go as strong as we would want, no, they don't. you and i know that at the end of the day the only way that we will provide quality care for every man, woman or child is through medicare for all. we ain't giving up on the struggle. we will introduce medicare for all. we organize our people to make sure that biden becomes the most progressive president. brian: did he just reveal the biden agenda? >> well, i think it's very date respectful to biden. it's a terrible disrespectful phone call to make. i would have been put it up on the board, the last 15 rallies we put up a board, fracking, fracking. he said no fracking and then he came out and said they'll be no fracking and he went out and did

the opposite, once he reached pennsylvania, million jobs and tremendous money and all of a sudden he changes his mind. he was never hit by the press. it's ridiculous. we put things up in the board. had you had whatever it is zoom, i would have put that up in the board gladly. this shows tremendous disrespect for biden. it shows exactly what i was saying. he's not going to be running the group. and that group of people is probably close to impossible to run. that's the -- i call it the aoc plus 3. that's a tough group to run and they would take the country into a terrible place. but joe is going to have a hard time. he won't be able to handle them. joe is having a very hard time. joe -- joe biden is not prime time. he's knot -- not, he's not prime

time. you see all of the gaffes and all of the problems, this is something that -- when he says he's a proud democrat, running for the u.s. senate and, you know, at first i thought he was joking but he wasn't joking. he's done that a number of times. he has called his location, ohio, he says i'm in iowa, great to be with the people of iowa and they start screaming, no, no, you're in ohio. that's happened many, many times. you know, that's something that you can't let happen. that's -- that will be the end of the speech. there's nothing you can do to recover, so -- so it's a tough thing for him. frankly he shouldn't be in this position. steve: we have invited the former vice president to be on the show i think every day for the -- brian: let me check. nothing yet. steve: mr. president, you refer

to the expression up on the board a couple of times. we are in new jersey looking out at the skyline of manhattan that you helped build with so many of your trump tower skyscrapers and what not. i know that you haven't been in midtown manhattan in the last 72 hours, but you would not recognize it because most stores and businesses and apartment buildings and things like that are boarded up on the first level because they are so afraid that there could be rioting or looting or violence if certain people don't like the way the election turns out and a lot of people suggested that the tell would be if donald trump wins there could be rioting or looting or things like that. of course, i know you have said that you would try to put a stop to it but, nonetheless, how do you feel about how we got to this point where if you're

reelected, there could be rioting and loaning? >> well, -- looting. >> well, i tell you, it's very sad and it'll all be in democrat-run cities. it's going to be in chicago, new york, portland and oakland and, you know, different places, baltimore and that's because of weak leadership and weak, weak leadership and, you know, my side is a very strong side if they wanted to but they don't like doing that, you know, they are proud of our country, they don't want to hurt our country. but the other side is radicalized, antifa and frankly if you let people know that there thereby hell to pay, they wouldn't have a problem. they don't do that. they have the cops stand back, stand back and watch looters walk washing machines and televisions out of stores. it's a shame to watch it. i watched what happened in

philadelphia. brian: philadelphia. >> you see the cops standby. there are good cops. the philadelphia cops are good cops. they don't want to stand back but they are told to stand back and the kids and wise guys, anarchists, agitators and looters and rioters, it's a shame. no reason for it. when the statutes were being affected badly, knocking down statutes, i modernized a very powerful law and you get 10 years in jail if you knock down a statute and since that time -- this is on a federal basis. cities could do the same thing. we could reinstitute it for cities if asked, but since that time, it just stopped. it just totally stopped because people would say 10 years is just too much. they would be able to stop this

so easily by being tough frankly, by not allowing -- ainsley: we hope it doesn't happen. >> i think it's very sad when stores are boarded up. i understand why they do it because a piece of glass is very expensive and they, you know, plywood doesn't cost much. they probably have it from years ago, past problems. ainsley: right. >> to me it's a sad thing. ainsley: i want to bring something up and i believe this is going to be our last question and i don't think we have -- i think we are being told this is the last question. steve: you have to go. ainsley: let's say biden wins, let's say they get the 3 seats in the senate and let's say they keep the house and they pack the court, what -- what's at stake for this country? >> our country could never be the same country if they win because they are radicalized left. joe biden will never call the shots and if he does, he's not going to be there very long. he's got a vice president whose

further left than bernie sanders who is not a particularly good person and she would be, i think, a terrible first representative, if she -- if she became the first woman president, i think it would be a terrible thing for our country. i think it would be a terrible thing for women. i look forward to the first woman president but i don't -- i wouldn't look forward to her being that person. i think it would be a very bad thing and i think you'd have a country that would become a socialist country. if they packed the courts, that would be a terrible thing and terrible thing and yet the supreme court has given us very bad decisions. everyone says trump has 3 people, now amy didn't take part because she just got there, i understand that. but the decision on pennsylvania was a horrible decision. no reason to go beyond the date.

people should put their ballots in early. you don't have to wait until the end. why are they waiting till the end? they have it for a long time. they put the ballots in early and there's plenty of time to count it, tabulate it and do it through a normal course. if they come late or after the fact and then they give them all of this time, so we will be waiting and it's really pennsylvania, but you could say others may be included in that. we will have to find out. it's a very dangerous thing to be waiting and we are waiting this -- not fair to the people of pennsylvania but not fair to the people of this country and i wouldn't say they are outstanding representatives, if you look at philadelphia, the amount of horror that's gone on there during elections, philadelphia has been a disaster as far as i'm concerned. not everybody will say it. philadelphia will be a disaster.

it's like we are putting these people on the honor system but there's no reason for doing this and it actually delays the election. i'd like to find out on november 3rd, the end of the evening or, you know, late into the morning, whenever who won the election and that doesn't allow that to happen unless there's a blowout or unless you don't need pennsylvania. now it's likely pennsylvania is a very important state. i think we will win pennsylvania. we have very good numbers in pennsylvania. steve: mr. president -- >> i think we -- it would be nice to have -- you want to have a win on november 3rd or, you know, the morning going along 12:00 o'clock, it's a terrible thing they've done and it's a very dangerous decision they've made. steve: mr. president, the white house team is telling us you have to go. exit question and the magic number is 270 electoral college votes.

you've got a number in your head. we are going to write it down right now. you say you're going to win with how many electoral college votes? >> so my number last time was 306. remember they said, you and i had this conversation a long time ago, right, and you asked me this question, i don't know, i think you remember that, but i ended up with 306. that was good numbers. 223 to 306 and that was -- that was a big number. and i think we will top it. i will leave it at that. i think we will top it. we will get better. people appreciate the job that we've done and if you look at the numbers and i see the futures are up, i will tell you one thing, we have a headwind on the stock market because the chance that biden got in, you will have a stock market go down like you wouldn't believe. if he got in, you know, i see the markets projected to be up

quite nicely today and it was up yesterday very nicely because people are starting to think that i'm going to win and the stock market will -- headwind having this because, you know, everybody has a chance, but now they are looking at it, i think, differently than they were 4 days ago. we have made a lot of progress in the last 4 days and i worked very hard. people say, how do you do that and i say, because i have to do it. it's been an honor and such love. love on both sides. i mean, you have 30, 40,000 more people in this, you know, big area and you feel the love. it's so incredible. it's -- that's what -- i'm telling you, tucker did an unbelievable piece. he got it. he figured it out because it's never happened before in the history in our country, never anything like this. you know when biden goes and he has 20 or 30 people, that's not so different from a lot of other

people. if ronald reagan came in to do a rally because he was a popular guy, if he had 200 or 300 people, that's fine, that's like anticipated. usually they would go to a ballroom and do it in a ballroom. i'm having 45,000 people. you ought to see the rally we had the other night in miami. ended at 1:00 o'clock in the morning. people didn't leave -- they didn't want to leave. amazing. brian: mr. president, we thank you for opening up with us. before you ran for president, while you were running for president and when you run presidency, best of luck of 4 more years, we will find out soon, we hope. >> thank you very much, thank you. brian: pretty awesome. [laughter] brian: let's bring in karl rove, fox news contributor -- crunching the numbers and doing

research and going inside the numbers. well, karl, how do you feel today, here we are election day and end of election season, right? karl: yeah, absolutely. now we begin -- it could take a week, it could take a few more days and a week before we gut all of the states including some very critical states have tabulated the vote and given us the answer. brian: what is your feel, what's your feel right now for where the election is? the president feels pretty good and thinks he reversed things over the last few weeks, should he feel that way? karl: yeah, absolutely. the polls have been closing. some of that is natural tightening as you get at the end to have campaign and something else underway as people sort of said, i have to make up my mind and the president was closing strong. i thought biden had a good speech in warmsprings, georgia, but the joe biden we have seen in campaign trail, the little that we have seen had different

tone before that. he has been in the campaign saying two things, i'm not donald trump and i will unit the country and then he's saying, trump has done lousy job on covid. since message is less unity and more vent on donald trump and let you know that i hate him and i find him detestful and there's a contrast that's jarring because the guy who is emphasizing unity albeit not about much except that he was not donald trump. this has been a much more shrill and edge message that's not been constructed for him. so between the two -- i want to vote for -- i've got to figure out who i am going to vote for, i like trump or i like trump's policies better than joe biden's policies because reasons people understand them and return to corners, the president is

closing the gap in the public polls and moving stronger in states where he was leading before. steve: and one of the things we heard pundits say in last 24 hours that polls are tightening and the question is, is it too late, close to 100 million people early voted. the one x factor in addition to enthusiasm that the president was just talking about over the last half hour that he has seen in rallies, is the shy voter. i know 4 years ago it was hard to quantify. home people when the pollster calls up, you know what, i'm undecided even though they were for trump or they just flat out lied. how do you quantify how big that number is this time and vary from state to state? karl: varies from state to state. hillary would get 3.5% more from

the popular vote and ended up being 2.1. we know the numbers -- we don't know how much is late deciders or how many are true late deciders as people who they decided late. but you could say that it's at least one percent or so. my gut tells me it's bigger this time around but maybe 2 or 1 and 3 quarters. but here is something else. last time around neither campaign had really a ground game. they were each trying to do it but both of them had hillary because she had a lousy campaign and trump because he didn't have much in the way of resources. both of them had lackluster ground games. you can't say about the trump ground games, chris carr, and brad parscal committed of having a ground game. i get the reports which i assume

are widely distributed because they are sent to hundreds, thousands of republicans in the country. the metrics that they are hitting each week or every couple of weeks, it's amazing how many contacts they're making for campaign nerds like me, it's a pretty amazing number of knocks, volunteers of volunteer text messages. you know, it's just amazing how many people they've got. how much is that worth? it's not worth 4 or are points but it's worth a point or two and in a state that could matter a lot. ainsley: karl, what states that he has to get, we heard he has to get florida and he has to get pennsylvania, what's the truth? karl: he got 306 electoral votes. two texans flipped and didn't work for them. the texas rangers are trying to find them. ainsley: karl: he has 36 that he can give and still win.

florida, georgia, north carolina and ohio all of which will report relatively early in the evening and all of which even though florida will have a large number of mail-in ballots, they perfected this. they know how to get it done and later in the night i will be looking at iowa and arizona. iowa will be a problem because they are a state that doesn't allow election authorities to begin early ballots until yesterday. so but like florida, they began working those ballots the moment that they were received as long as it was 22 days before the election. georgia, north carolina, it's even longer. so i'm going to be watching these because he's got 36 to give. i'd like to see how he's doing in these. if he's winning these states, particularly the four at the top, then he's in a good posture and then i will be watching the blue wall with 46 electoral vote that is he won last time around he doesn't take 46, if he loses all 46, he's at 260 and he's not president. and pennsylvania, michigan and

wisconsin, the problem is pennsylvania, the president referenced the decision, pennsylvania's court system and pennsylvania secretary of state moved -- excuse me, the secretary of state moved to extend the period for absentee ballots to be received from election day to the third, till friday. and the state supreme court on 4 to 3 vote approved the move and then it went all the way to supreme court and if you read the opinion, you can tell they didn't want to have to deal with this issue, but they eventually came down on the side this was an action by the government of pennsylvania through secretary of state, the governor and its supreme court and so they said, reluctantly it looks like this is permissible. wisconsin had a move to follow pattern of letting votes be received up until friday and the court ruled that since that came from a private organization it didn't have standing and they allowed the state to keep in

place the current rule which says ballot has to be received by today. but pennsylvania, if it's close, we may not know until not just friday because friday is when they get the ballots, it's when they finish verifying or counting. we would be lucky if it was saturday or sunday. could be a week from yesterday. so this -- i'm going to keep watching those because if -- if the president shows up pretty strong then he may be able to hold on at the end to have week or counting period. brian: karl, i want you to save some energy for tonight so i will have to let you go. i know you will be on all day and all night. karl, thanks so much for the breakdown and the magic marker and white board. appreciate it. we have a great finish. governor ron desantis will be here live followed by rush limbaugh, don't move.

♪ ♪ steve: well, polls are open in florida and have been for a couple of hours and the covenant state has seen millions of votes. ainsley: good morning, governor. governor: good morning. ainsley: what are your predictions for florida, i know it's a close race there? governor: i think it looks really good for the president. wewe have a republican ballot deficit going to election day that's smaller percentage than in '16 when hillary was up and we are seeing huge turnout amongst republicans, key counties, you have 2 to 1 or even more republicans turning out over democrats and if that keeps up, i think the president is going to be in a really good position and also you guys saw that rally in miami-dade county the other night, massive crowd, that's a place that the president underperformed in '16. i can tell you, people down there are juiced, doesn't mean

he will win the county but he will cut into the margin and that's tens of thousands votes for the president because of performance in miami-dade. i think he's much better positioned this year than he was in '16 and, of course, he did win the presidency and win florida in the '16. steve: he did, indeed, considers florida resident. ainsley: he said home state. steve: give us the numbers so far, what was the margin between republicans and democrats when it came to mail-in ballots or early in-person ballots and what you have seen on the ground so far on election day? governor: so democrats because their folks pushed them to the mail, they had a big margin on mail ballots and republicans have gotten away from mail and they want to see the ballot go in and we had advantage in in-person early voting, the net 1%, 1.2% democrat ballot

advantage which is less than 2016. now on election day, i mean, we are looking at some of the counties, even palm beach, republicans 20 points more turnout already this morning than registered democrats, so i think you will see a decisive republican advantage today and i just think it's going to wipe out the very small advantage that the democrats had going into election day, so people in florida have an opportunity, stay in the line, vote, your voice will matter and it'll be a good election day for the president. ainsley: i was watching the rally when it went into the night, middle of the morning, marco rubio had endorsement, i'm sure that helps, he was talking to the cuban americans an talking about what socialism looks like saying we remember our parents came over, we were worried about our loved ones being eaten by sharks coming over on rafts trying to get away from a country and dictatorship and the socialism method. how much does that play when it comes to these voters?

i know that south florida, isn't that really democratic normally, do you think it would go more republican now because of the socialism message that kamala harris brings? governor: absolutely. we will have a much better margin. there's a lot of democrats but i can tell you those particular hispanic voters, they, their grandparents or parents were affected by marxism and leftism. they are sensitive to this. they see somebody like a kamala harris as the vice presidential candidate, she's more left wing than bernie sanders in the senate. that is something that really resonates with them and the president has been strong against maduro and raúl castro. obviously biden would be much weaker in those. so i think that he's been able to energize those folks because he's done a good job and spoken to their issues, but also the contrast when you have someone like a kamala, terrible pick for biden in southern florida.

if he can improve by a third the deficit, that's 100,000 votes potentially and i think that that rally was a good indication. it had to have been 70% hispanic and not just cuban american. we have venezuelan americans, nicaraguan americans, all these folks understand freedom and they understand that if america walks away from freedom, they don't have anywhere else to go. steve: all right, the governor of the great state of florida, ron desantis, sir, we know that you have a busy day, thank you very much for joining us live. ainsley: thank you, governor. governor: thank you. steve: all right, meanwhile let's stay in florida and sunshine state and joining us right now we are pleased to say rush limbaugh, good morning to you, rush. rush: hey, it's great to be back with you, guys. how is everybody? steve: we are doing okay. so i'm sitting at home last night about 6:30 and i'm looking at the typewriter, my texting machine and i get a message from

rush, i don't know if it's too late can i come on the show today and i talked to the boss and he said absolutely. rush, why did you want to be here today? rush: because i think it's crucial. i think this is -- this is the day that we are going to determine what kind of country we have going forward. i also wanted to thank president trump. i am so proud of him. he's worked tirelessly for us, for the american people, he's fighting to preserve the way of life and wants americans to have the absolute best future possible and he wants opportunity for everybody no matter what their starting point is. he's maligned and impugn and ripped to shredds and deserves much more credit for what he has done for america in 3 and a half years or little bit longer now and i wanted to throw in my two cents for my preference for him to win and i want him to win big

today. i don't want there to be any doubt about this. brian: rush, what do you think will happen? i know what you want. it's pretty clear you guys are buddies politics or not, what do you think -- how does this unfold today, rush? rush: i look at the conventional wisdom and i make it a point never to follow it. it's always wrong. why do you want to go along with what everybody else thinks? early voting, everybody thinks it's a bunch of democrats that hate trump showing up because they hate the guy and they can't wait to vote against, that's what the media has been telling us. what if this early voting is a bunch of trump voters who are fed up with the way their man has been treated, they are fed with the way he's been lied about and fed up with russian conspiracy hoax and they are fed up with the attempts to destroy this country, the antifa and black lives matter and they are tired of watching the cities burn and they will tired of

watching democrat governors and mayors shut down cities and states. what's to say that early voting isn't republicans and trump supporters showing up to get it out of their system? the idea that the enthusiasm is on the democrat side is media made up stuff. i think there's a whole different way of looking at this. it is my way of looking at it and i welcome everybody to join me in my way of looking at this. brian: you think it's going to be a blowout? >> isn't that what this is all about? ainsley: rush, how fearful are you if the democrats win across the board? what if they do win the president, biden is elected, what if they do get the 3 seats, they keep the house and pack the court? >> ainsley, i'm very worried. that's the whole point. biden, the thing that frustrates me, biden doesn't have a bond with his voters. he's just the generic democrat with the d next to his name on

the ballot. kamala harris can't get out democrat primaries before a single vote was cast and the people riding the biden-harris operation, we know who they are, big tech, social media tech giants and the media and so forth, but i think, these -- we've reached a point in america where the american left doesn't like this country, they haven't liked it for a long time and if they had the chance, ainsley, they'll rip the constitution to shreds as best they can and the american people will not know what hit them because this isn't the old democrats versus republicans. it used to be that the democrats and republicans at least had the same objectives, wanted prosperity for people, kids, great future. we don't even have that in

common with the democrats anymore. there isn't overlap. as far as i'm concerned they need to be politically defeated, not cooperated with and not gotten along with because i don't know that it's possible. it's not that -- if you really care about the american way of life and what you think it is, it is on the ballot today, folks and there's one guy standing in the way of the democrats and the american left succeeding in this antiamerican agenda and it's donald trump and i would just cringe if we lose this election because of somebody's personality because they don't like somebody's personal way, he tweets or speaks, it's irrelevant to the big picture. plus he's a good man, he's a fine guy. i know him well. he's somebody that you would want to go out and have a beer with except that he doesn't

drink. it's somebody that you would want to spend time with. look at the rallies, unprecedented, the numbers of people. by the way you don't drive up, leave, this is a full-day commitment that people have to go, 57,000 people in butler, pennsylvania and joe biden is drawing 2 to 3 people in cars, honking horns. maybe 20. ainsley: 14 hours in grand rapids. rush: desantis talking about what happened in opa-locka. how can somebody drawing crowds like that even 4 years ago, how can this guy lose? it count compute with me especially when the other side has no enthusiasm behind him, no excitement, just that d next to his name on the ballot and, folks, one other thing here, you have to vote today. i don't care how long the line is, get in line, do not leave the line, stay there. do not let them intimidate you

and election turnout is the best weapon we have against election fraud and election day turnout is how we win and if you show up and please do, do not leave the line. steve: until you have voted. indeed, because as we said earlier, if you don't vote -- that's right. so, rush -- >> rush: every vote counts. 300 million of us, my vote -- your vote can cancel a democrat vote. it's the franchise. if you don't use it we will lose it. the democrats, the modern day, if they could get rid of elections, do not doubt me, they would. elections are the one thing standing in the way. they lose more than they win. it ticks them off. i'm telling you. i'm not trying to sound frightening, it's just we've reached a point here where the kind of country that we are going to have is at stake here. it's on the line.

brian: sure. and -- >> steve: you've made that very clear. joe biden has been presenting to america as a moderate and centrist. the people in his party who are way to the left and very progressive, they are going, you know, as soon as we get -- joe wins it, we will pull him further to the left and you look at the fact that kamala harris is his vice presidential running mate and labeled the most liberal senator in the u.s. senate, what does it tell you about the direction things will go? i mean, we think they will go a certain way but if they win, are they going to make a super hard left turn as soon as they get in the door? rush: i don't know as soon as they get in the door but it won't take long. they would not be able to contain themselves for very long. biden will not be long for the

job, he's a place holder. i don't know how much he's aware of the fact that he's just a place holder. and i don't know to what extent kamala harris is actually the future, she would be obviously the president, to answer your question, they can't wait, they can't wait to make this left turn because once they make it in their minds they know there's no going back. they don't think that they will ever lose again if they make this left turn. they don't think that we are going to have the power to ever defeat them again, so, yeah, they are going to be moving as quickly as they can to consolidate this victory if that's what happens today. i shutter at the thought. brian: adding states is very real and rid of filibuster. you should get your own show, i'm in support of that. no wonder you're the best ever.

number 2, you are going through such harsh treatment, how much has your friendship with the president not only as the president and impactful conservative voice but friend, how much of that has helped sustain you through this time? rush: it's been tremendous. you know, i -- i'm day-to-day. i wake up every day and thank god that i did. i woke up this morning and thank god that i did. i have had a very, very good fortune with the course of treatment that i've had and i'm thrilled to be here. every day i'm thrilled to be here. i'm thrilled to be here and to be able to be part of this today. this was an objective. when i found out my diagnosis, being here today was one of the objectives. i wouldn't be here today if it

weren't for my family. they have -- particularly my wife who has just -- this stuff is hard. a lot of people have been through it and you know and i don't want to spend a whole lot of time, but you know the sacrifice that the people closest to you make and they don't get any help, they don't get any assistance, they just do what they have to do. and i have been the beneficiary of some of the most loving and devoted people and i'm so glad that when i sent you a note last night, steve, they could have said, what do you mean, we asked you 3 weeks ago and you're calling us the fight before the show? i would have fully and totally understood. i'm grateful that you let me come on today because i really do believe that we owe president trump a lot. the man has done more than anybody i can think of in the republican party to save this country, to put it together and grow it and put it back together as it was founded to be. it's -- it's been -- it's been a

blessing to be able to work with him on this and to be on his side and on his team in this, so, yeah, i'm blessed in so many ways i can't really count them all including being allowed in your program today. ainsley: we are so grateful that you are, we are honored to have you on here. for the folks that are watching, most people are grateful every day. i know what you're going through makes it even more powerful in your mind. for folks that are watching that are grateful and love god, love our children, with your diagnosis, how do you balance it all, what's your advice to all of us? rush: i think that we -- the way i look at it is life is the most precious thing we have and it's probably the thing that most people just take for granted. we are busy, we don't even take time to consciously think of our lives because we are too busy

living them, but i really appreciate mine now i have to tell you, i always have but we only get one and we all have the opportunities starting out to make the most of it or whatever we want it to be and we get a do-over every day. if we screw up one day, we get another chance to fix it. we are americans, we have the freedom to invest in whatever it is that makes us happy. that's in our founding documents and so we -- we -- we -- in my case, i'm grateful that i have been able to make it to election day. i'm grateful that i am still able to do my radio show. i'm grateful that i am still able to have meaningful conversation, relationships with my family. i'm grateful for everything that happened. there's so much to be thankful for especially when right in front of you is the prospect of

it being taken away and it just amps the appreciation for all of the goodness that you have in your life and all -- you all have rotten things happen to us. there's good in everything that happens. it may not present itself for weeks, months, whatever, but there's good in everything that happens if you look for it. ainsley: even an election that doesn't go in your favor? rush: yeah, yeah. i actually believe that -- you mentioned god, god is a profound factor, jesus christ, profound factor. i have a personal relationship, i've not talked about it much publicly because, yeah, i'm just trying to give thanks every day for all of the blessings. i have had a blessed life. i have had so many great friends

and still do that it's -- it's been nothing negative for me. there's nothing -- nothing that i have deep regrets about because i've been too blessed. steve: well, i have known you since you were at the kansas city royals so it goes way back to kansas city. rush: 1980's. steve: that's right. i love the cafeteria with the free food, that was fantastic. rush, you know a lot of people are praying for you and love you and are so happy to see you on this election day. but as you said, you only get one. and today is the day and ultimately you wanted to come on tv today to say what to your millions of viewers? rush: thank you, thank you for being part of my life. thank you for being instrumental in making my life for what it was -- not was, is.

i have so much in common with president trump. i look at the rallies that he does. i have a similar bond with my audience that he has with his voters and i -- i have -- i cherish it. the people in my audience are sophisticated bunch of people. they know what patronizing sponsors mean to my success and they know what their role is and their involvement in sustaining the radio show and they do it and, you know, i don't want to go overboard in this. i have so much to be thankful and grateful for and i am and i tell you my audience as much as i can how much i appreciate the fact that they are there. 32 years now, 32 years, there are people who have been listening 32 years. stop and think about that. mindbogglingly, mind blowing. you guys were old enough, you would be in the group. [laughter] brian: i feel like i have been listening for that long.

so rush, in particular, i have bad news for you, you're not going anywhere, you never sounded better and more insightful and more interesting than you do now and even this morning, for example, so we will see you back in tv show, will talk to some people. rush on lesser note, less important note, i see you're a traditional conservative, a lot of time calling out the bushes and upset on republicans, why do you look at the president atypical and you accept, george will, traditional conservatives, formed a group against the president? rush: jealousy, pure jealousy. look at these guys. they set themselves intellectual power house, they asked for money go, with us on cruises, subscribe to magazines, we are the intellectual left -- that

got promoted, they are out there begging people for money. then donald trump comes along, who they hate on a class basis and ends up implementing everything they've devoted their lives to and do they support it, no, because they are jealous, because trump is doing it and now they are actively endorsing biden after how many years of these guys begged conservatives and republicans for money and how many republicans, conservatives have sent them money and how much of that money has been totally wasted because these guys never meant it? they were all in it for themselves. they were in it to be the smartest guys in the room. they were in it to be thought of the intellectual heft in power, here comes this bad, orange man and twitter feed and implemented everything and i think it's pure jealousy. it's pure envy, plus trump has

rendered them irrelevant. how much more irrelevant conservative be than join the democrat party in this era and end up being part of a party that is as anti-american as the party has ever been and that's where they've ended up, maybe that's where they should have been from the get-go. steve: and from the get-go today rush limbaugh made it clear, today is the day everybody who can needs to vote. rush, thank you very much. ainsley: thanks, rush. rush: thank you very much, guys, i appreciate you letting me come on today. steve: what did you want to say, real quick? rush: even though 100 million people have voted they tell us, the numbers of people that haven't voted is still bigger than that, don't draw any conclusions. i expect the network to call the victory for biden by 5:00 o'clock today just to

suppress the vote. do not let this work. they will run tricks of exit polling, they do it every 4 years. do not lose the faith. keep the faith. stay up, stay positive, go vote, election day turnout is the determining factor in who wins today. brian: go get them, rush. ainsley: may god bless you, rush. rush: thank you, ainsley,i really appreciate it. [applause] brian: that was rush limbaugh and let's go with pete hegseth, he's having breakfast with friends. [laughter] pete: good morning and god bless rush limbaugh, what a great, great american. am i right, guys? [cheers and applause] pete: america swing county, we are talking to voters and i can't help to reflect 4 years ago when we were at a diner and tons of undecided voters, how many undecided voters do we have in here right now?

not many. a lot of folks who have voted and support the president. everyone i'm talking to here has already voted. you're a trucker and you support the president. >> he kept his promises for america. >> thank you very much. great stuff. we love you, he loves us is something that usually don't hear from politicians. blake, one heck of a beard i tell you. >> a vote for trump is being proamerica. there's too much hate in the country and i think that president trump can do that. pete: very well said. blake, you might be outnumbered in school but not outnumbered here. hunter, you're in support of the president as well, your message on election day? >> vote trump, we need to save america.

pete: short and tweet. my man. hair dresser nancy, retired nurse, you know fends that were democrats, do you regret switching your vote? >> i think promises made, promises kept. he's pro-life, he's prolaw and order. i voted straight republican ticket today and i'm proud of it. pete: last thoughts? >> i love donald trump, he fights for america to keep us great. pete: there you go. you guys nailed it. i said short and sweet. >> 4 more years.
