is right is possible, make sure the laws are followed, and we as a country, we do know how to do this properly. we need to fix this permanently. we are the united states. have a great weekend, we'll see you back here on monday, let not your heart be troubled, laura is on next. >> laura: this is speech when he went from washington. at joe biden and kamala harris had a big speech planned where they expected to declare victory tonight, but that is suddenly changed. what has our competence so shaken? a few hours ago, a huge ruling was handed down by justice alito at the supreme court, temporarily ordering all ballots received after 8:00 p.m. on election day in pennsylvania to be segregated and secured. now, if those ballots are counted, they must be counted separately. this was already supposed to be happening, but apparently, secretary of state could not confirm that county boards were complying. now, therefore stupid we have much more on that and reaction

what could be a monumental ruling in a bit. first, winning the future. that's the focus of tonight's angle. four years ago, the american people stuck it to the political elites and their media bootleggers by putting donald trump in the white house. trump rode in on this populist agenda of putting american workers first. his mandate was to take power from the corrupt political class in washington and put it back the hands of the people. >> president trump: ours was not a campaign, but rather an incredible and great movement. it's a movement comprised of americans from all races, religions, backgrounds, and believes who want and expect our government to serve the people and serve the people it will. the forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no

longer. >> laura: on issue after issue, he delivered. he delivered real reserves. thanks to tax cuts, record unemployment. record increase in median household income, far outpacing obama. obama said he would fix that, but in eight years, he never d did. it took two years of work for trump's team, but the new u.s. nca level the playing field with mexico and canada, it's about time bearded tariffs on china and under huge pressure to back off on tariffs by big business, the president held firm, which brought china to the negotiating table. he forced our nato allies to pay for their own defense. in catch and release, he forced the issue of phony asylum seekers to the floor, and got a good start on that new border

fence. he put 218 federal judges on the bench, and three solid justices to the supreme court. i could go on and on, i could take the whole hour up on stuff he's done in four years. the important thing to remember, is that he accomplished all of that while under constant assault by forces inside and outside of the government. of course, the deep state, the molar team, the corrupt media, the aggressors an projects, social media ceos, the antifa blm proprietors, ands originated in china. i almost left out the entire personal lies and smears and attacks on his family had to endure. or four years, that did not let up. in the end, about 70 million americans ignored these fibers and voted for trump's policy.

>> president trump: don't say that, i will start to cry, it wouldn't be good for my image. >> we love trump! we love trump! >> president trump: thank you, and i love you, i do. >> laura: i know how much so many of you might be hurting about how this election played out. at the covid fearmongering, the mail-in ballot fiasco, the fact that days after an american election, we are still counting ballots. the absolute disgrace that is the american press corps and their incurious approach to it all. i know many of you cannot believe that bags of votes, almost all for biotin, show up when fido needs it the most. at the fact is, serious legal arguments are being made against

and a big win at the supreme court as i mentioned, we will get to that more in a bit. i can't tell you how the courts will ultimately rule or if the remedies would change the outcome, but i will repeat what i said last night. these legal efforts are critical, because the truth does need to come out in order to preserve the integrity and transparency of elections going forward. if there is no path for donald trump's second term, it doesn't mean the end of it the america first movement or his role in leading it. on the contrary, this is only the beginning. for now, it's time to take our games, learned from our defeats, and competently expand one of the greatest political movements for the past 100 years. how do we do this? first, we must ensure that state-by-state we were to overhaul any process that leads to what we've seen play out this week. i don't care how much money it costs, i don't care what we have to study to get there, but we

must work to eliminate mass mail-in voting and ballot harvesting. if litigation is necessary and it cost big money so it needs to be funded. it big donors, stop giving money to think tanks in washington that i've accomplished next to nothing and start getting moneyo grassroots political and legal efforts to stop this nonsense. doug ducey of arizona assured us that everything would go smoothly on election day. >> in arizona, where going to do it right. it will be free and fair, it will be difficult, if not impossible to cheat, and it will be easy to vote. a 78% of the citizens already vote by mail and arizona. over the course of decades, we have established a system that works and can be trusted. >> laura: hoops. it didn't work out that way. he's not alone, republicans also control georgia.

that confidence and foul play have compromised the integrity of the election results there as well. the democrats stronghold in detroit and philadelphia will be difficult to change, but try we must. for many months the angle warrants that mail-in ballots were going to present serious challenges that the g.o.p. needed to be prepared for. >> you're going to have lawyers all across this country ready to challenge the stuff? >> president trump: they do, they have more lawyers than any human being has ever hired, i don't know who is hiring them, but they have lawyers. where in pennsylvania right now, where in nevada right now, we are in all different states fighting this. >> laura: apparently there weren't nearly enough lawyers to counter what would happen in philly and detroit when the watchers were denied access. number two, it's time to retire of the failed political consultants who blew through

hundreds of millions of dollars, yet didn't have this legal apparatus stat up to challenge what was coming. why didn't they have a in-place question mike why aren't the best lawyers in america on television night after night explaining the president's legal claims? we saw jay sekulow tonight saying, goodness. if it's time to accept an unfavorable outcome, and we hope it never comes, but if and when this does happen, it trump needs to do it with the same grace and composure he demonstrated at that town hall with savannah guthrie. so many people remarked about his tone and presence, exactly what you needs. losing, especially when you believe the process wasn't fair, it's a gut punch. i'm not conceding anything tonight, by the way, but losing, if that's what happens is awful. resident trump's legacy will only become more significant if he focuses on moving the country forward. then, the love and to prospective supporters feel for him, it's only going to grow

stronger and his legacy more historically significant. the media knows he will be a g.o.p. kingmaker for 20/20 to enter 2024, no doubt. if they know he's a political hero to tens of billions of americans, and they want to take that from him, too. >> the previou president seeds t in our democracy. >> president trump threatened to tear the country apart. i think that should disqualify him in the minds of fair-minded people. >> donald trump who in his speech not only seems like a dictator, not only seems like it is blatantly racist, but a panicked one. >> laura: there are still on the racist thing even though he expanded votes on minority voters. if they are absolutely buffoons. you should make them all and eat their own words. he should do that for the voters and those who expect their leaders to accept the will of the people.

to all of you patriots who supported president trump, stand tall and be proud of your efforts and his. it was all worth it. we all helped reshape the national conversation on china, on immigration, on trade and political correctness et cetera, et cetera. we don't have time to bury our heads in crying towels. there are two senate races to win in order to hold the senate. if there is money to be raised, speeches to be written and delivered to, adds to be made, and ballot canvassing events to be organized. the 2020 presidential election will be studied for decades, even centuries to come. historians will note that in this election biden and the left where propped up by a fortune from big businesses who are angry with the president who stood up for the average american. history will also show that at a time when so many intellectuals had given up on this country,

donald trump and his supporters showed that th the american drem still inspires tens of millions in that billions of dollars worth of propaganda could not persuade us to abandon the fai faith. for myself, i'm confident that our vision of this country will eventually prevail. that is the angle. it joining me now is jon mcglocklin, trump 20/20 polster and chris bradford, senior editor at the federalist. chris, however this shakes out, and i love these legal challenges because we have to get to the bottom of all of this and expose fraud where it occurred. i would much rather be the g.o.p. right now, given the democrat attempt at a coalition. >> the g.o.p. is in a strong place, the exact kind of party that you and other populists have set out to what they wanted at the end of the administration. whether it's now or four years or whether he comes back and runs another time, this is a working-class party, a populist

party, an american, patriotic party. those concerns don't know any skin color. they know wealth and access to power. these woke values at the center of the democratic party are the luxury of the ultra rich and ultra-elite. they can't be afforded by people who care about the country and are trying to take care of their family. voter fraud -- he has the means to take care of this. he has to treat philadelphia and other cities like the mob. if you going with federal agents and start talking to people over the next few months promising them five years in jail if they lied, they will roll over very weakly. you go up and up and up and to deconstruct it like they are doing in philadelphia to get johnny dawkins mob uncovering voter fraud accidentally along the way. >> laura: at jon mcglocklin, you've been pulling for trump for years. to those who say the trump brand is not going to be as

influential going forward, the trump political branch. what has your polling told you? because that's ridiculous, 95% of these republicans approve of the job the president string. in a postelection poll, the voters who voted gave him a 53% national job approval. if the republicans it was 95. we ask the questions, looking forward to the future, 2024 primary, who would you be voting for? top two people were 30% for mike pence, 20% for donald trump jr. this is a party of donald trump. if they support policy, they think they are better off with his policies. this is donald trump's party. they don't believe he has lost. in fact, most of these voters think he has won the election, they think it's being stolen from them. >> laura: we talk about

america first and trump so oft often. it matters. it if you want definitive proof, it's how desperate china was for biden to win. look no further than this headline. on top of that, a chinese state media official tweeted, i believe i won't tweet nearly as much in the past two years starting on january 20th, because i don't have to reply to trump and pompeo's daily slander on china. i don't expect biden and the future secretary of state to be that type of lowlife. what does that tell us about the ccp and biden? >> it shows you they're not worried about joe biden. i don't know why they would be. they might have undressed her to him, but he's not a strong adversary in the international stage. his policy that he's offered as well as his policies on covid and other aspects of his policies, including when he was talking about trade deals and

protections are simply a faint echo of a lot of the policies of donald trump. the president of the last four years. not to compare any person to any person, but those are men who really shapes their party in the way it went forward. they had a major impact in the future of their party. i think that's going to continue with donald trump, there a lot of people were going to try and come in and claim to bring it back to the bush g.o.p. >> laura: good luck with that. it jon mcglocklin, another point is that nancy pelosi came out today babbling incoherently to talk about the mandate that she has after losing seats. watch. >> what happened with democrats and congress help contribute to the body and success. we are going to be part of that mandate. >> she is worse with the mask on, i can't understand her.

>> is less than 100,000 votes in five states with 63 electoral votes, let's get those votes counted, let's get the recounts done, because we may see surprises again that you may see a second term of donald trump where speaker pelosi will be our best friend with her negatives in the public opposition. >> laura: let all of the legal challenges go forward. great to see you both. joe biden hasn't even officially won the election, they're already calling for trump officials to be punished. at cnn may declare the job prospects for trumpeters are grim. because there are people in the president inner circle, hope hicks, dans giving us, focused on managing the president's anger. there a lot of other people who are not particularly close to the president trying to figure out what their next job is going to be, what's it going to be and what's it like going into the

job market not from a normal white house where typically you got a lot of offers, but coming from the trump white house? >> laura: even more alarming, squad leader aoc made this deranged call to action. is anyone archiving beach i'm sick of sins for when they try to deny their complicity in the future? obama official indulged her noting key and former buddha dig efforts were starting a trump accountability list. a political hit list, blacklist of sorts courtesy of the party of tolerance. conservative commentator, the blacklist, you've been writing about this for decades. the left has always had one. >> they have created this is a tyrannical impulse. it's ironic because they keep accusing trump of being a tyrant, but ultimately, these are people that they had their wish, they would ostracize their opponents, they would have them fired from their jobs, they would have them digitally

censored, who knows question mike they might be willing to imprison them. the historian david blight from yale recently spoke about trump and the g.o.p. is the new confederacy. this is a poisonous accusation. a member of the party of the confederacy is accusing of being a confederate. he was trying to sow the kind of hatred that makes from supporters into enemies of the country, and to than this licenses in the name of tolerance a wave of anger and retribution against these people not of people who are wrong or need to be persuaded, but of enemies who need to be taken o out. >> laura: it also opens the door to physical attacks. the left is always claiming that right wing rhetoric inspires this or that group, but what about their rhetoric? if you are truly like hitler, stalin, mao, whatever they are

comparison is there like mass murderers who support trump. that's where this goes, logically. >> i think in the old communist state, is simply the state that carried out ultimately the violence. at the left seems to be counting on the kind of alliance of med media, digital moguls, corporate sponsors, to work together with the left so ultimately they can expose people, target them, get them kicked off and made into public nonpersons. at the end of the day, who knows? unleash the deep state against them perhaps bearded >> laura: they are artie doing this. they have artie waged their war you're not going to get a promotion in most schools if you are a well-known trump supporter. you're not going give it tenure or elevation in the military in some cases if you are known to believe in certain traditional

values. a lot of this is happening, but she's just being very vocal about it. >> absolutely. i sat across from obama prosecutors, if they could, they would lock me up for ten years on a minor technicality because they didn't see me as a critic. they saw me ultimately has an enemy, and that's a kind of poisonous mentality that the left is putting into the public discourse, even justifying it, just justifying it in academia, media, and ultimately carries over to the government. >> laura: thank you very much. our legals way and on the pennsylvania boat tonight, stay there. so what's going on?

i'm a talking dog. the other issue. oh...i'm scratching like crazy. you've got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. apoquel can work on that itch in as little as 4 hours, whether it's a new or chronic problem. and apoquel's treated over 8 million dogs. nice. and...the talking dog thing? is it bothering you? no...itching like a dog is bothering me. until dogs can speak for themselves, you have to. when allergic itch is a problem, ask for apoquel. apoquel is for the control of itch associated with allergic dermatitis and the control of atopic dermatitis in dogs. do not use apoquel in dogs less than 12 months old or those with serious infections. apoquel may increase the chance of developing serious infections and may cause existing parasitic skin infestations or pre-existing cancers to worsen. do not use in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs. most common side effects are vomiting and diarrhea.

feeling better? i'm speechless. thanks for the apoquel. aw...that's what friends are for. ask your veterinarian for apoquel next to you, apoquel is a dog's best friend.

>> ordered late balance to be counted separately. if they were supposed to be doing this already, but secretary of state kathy bouffard couldn't verify, so it's yesterday, secretary bouffard ensured us there weren't enough late balance to make or break the election. given the order tonight, should

we be skeptical of her claim customer joining me our two lawyers involved in the trump campaign's legal battle. director of the stud project along me is harmeet dhillon and the lawyers for trump national cochair philip, why is this important, and what are the next steps question mike >> what has been happening, it's like if we were in a game of poker, and deep i called you and you lay down your cards, and i say, i have one, i took the money without showing my cards, you would have a problem with that. the united states supreme court says democrats cannot do this in secret any longer. that only applies to part of the ballots. you want to court order one of our lawsuits that applies statewide where they treated to a different ballot improperly and allowing democrats and strongholds to secure their ballots while in republican counties, the voters weren't allowed to. there's another order to

segregate ballots as well. were only beginning to see this, and never investigated a guilty person who wanted me to see the evidence. i've never investigated an innocent person who didn't want me to see the evidence of innocence in their hands. why are they blocking the door to these counts? >> laura: we don't know exactly what the supreme court will do, but there is precedent for courts overturning the results of election. back in 1994, a u.s. district judge avoided the results of a philadelphia state senate election and don't grow or dictate to the because rampant democrat fraud. it was a consequential race, too. it's enough enough to flip control. everyone is talking remedies, here. even if you find some of these ballots were invalid or improperly processed, is that enough to change the results? what is the remedy? what could the court even consider doing?

>> the court would probably look, given the timing and to the fact that this order comes down on the last day in which the three days where the secretary of state extended the voting. we don't know how many ballots are affected by that. we should know that answer, but it seems very shady how they are keeping track. a court would look at, let's assume this mistake occurred and does make a difference. if there are 300,000 ballots that came in after election day and the margin is 100,000, that makes a difference, but if it is 100,000 ballots and the margin is 300,000, it may not make a difference. you're going to look at that practicality to see if it would've made a difference. piling on with some of the other errors that we've seen, it may be sufficient enough, or the court may be unhappy that pennsylvania authorities have simply ignored their order. that's why this order came down tonight, they weren't doing what they're artie supposed to be doing.

>> laura: they say there's no evidence of fraud. i don't see anything, show it to me, i don't -- i'm thinking, aren't you guys reporters? aren't you at all interested in investigating and did knowing the results? i'm going to play this quickly, an announcement from the michigan g.o.p. chairwoman that she made today. watch. >> in antrim county, ballots were counted for democrats that were meant for republicans. causing a 6,000 votes wing against her candidates. the county clerk came forward and said tabulating software alleged and caused a miscalculation of the vote. since then, we have now discovered that 47 counties use the same software in the same capacity. >> laura: is there nothing to see here at all? no concern? >> were supposed to accept that

glitch in 47 counties potentially without figuring out the truth? this is concerning for your viewers. we get to the recount stage, the recount just validates the fraud. what is happening right now in many areas, democrats are actually claiming the right to complete ballots without anybody watching them. they will fill out the ballot, casted and, that's happening in michigan. they will counted to, no one needs to look. when you get to the recount, it validates the broad. they need to open the doors now. these courts need to get serious about allowing the law to be followed, which means a republican, democrat, everybody with a vested interest in this game gets to see how the ballots are counted. that's been a rule for over a century in this nation. i don't understand why we can just dispense a bit now. >> laura: ben ginsberg, well-known election lawyer, no fan of the president when he

spoke out today in the same vein as i was referencing earlier. look, republicans -- it's all smoke and mirrors here on the fraud issue, watch. >> evidence simply is not there to claim our elections are rigged, the results are fraudulent, that there is cheating going on. my real disappointment with the republican party has been that it's standard, the president has said that her basic institution of elections is fraudulent without the proof to back that up, that's harmful to the country. >> laura: harming others, chris christie has said the same thing, your reaction? >> that is classic gaslighting. how are we supposed to come forward with the evidence when you're locked out of the room where the shenanigans are occurring and to wear dust when you complain, they give you some binoculars and treated like a birdwatching expedition. that is un-american, that is not

how our election is run in this country. if they are using covid -- they are using covid as an excuse to lock observers out. that's outrageous. the software glitch, that same software is being used in almost all of the battleground states. this could be a more widespread problem. i would like all americans to be able to accept the outcome of the selection whatever it is, but if we have this type of shenanigans going on, and we have republican lawyers who for many years paid their mortgages with rnc money turn on the president and cover it up, that's unacceptable. the president should fight, he should reach a conclusion, and the lawyers are out there doing that. you're never going to feel comfortable with the results of this election and lessers transparency. at that to occurred. >> laura: thank you so much. biden's nonannouncement turned into a celebrity tailgate. plus nancy losey trying to spin

her defeat into gold. raymond arroyo explains, seen and unseen, next. we're excited to do business with you but before we sign i gotta ask... sure, anything. we searched you online and maybe you can explain this? i can't believe that garbage is still coming in. that is so false! frustrated with your online search results? call reputation defender today to join tens of thousands who've improved their online reputation. get your free reputation report card at reputationdefender.com or call 1-877-866-8555.

♪ >> laura: it's time for seen and unseen segment where we expose the stories behind the headlines. showing us all the details as raymond arroyo, author of the spider who saved christmas. raymond, joe biden and mollo were planning to speak tonight in wilmington, what gives question mexico is delayed, but we are learning biden is arriving as we speak. he is expected to address the crowd any moment they have staged a celebratory tailgate, something for bed on most college campuses and other nfl games. there's also two dance parties in new york's washington square and in pennsylvania. at the ideas to telegraph that people believe biden has one. in some ways, this is part of the p.r. hayes that is wrapped

around biden from beginning. it's like taking michael to caucus out of mothballs into grabbing a nice and slick ads. this by the way, as legal action stole any official count or new states being called. then there are competing stop the steel trump protests. check out this massive one in philadelphia. >> were in a situation where we have come together, and you guys did it for president obama's administration before this. you put together, i think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization and history of american politics. because that was not the bite we are asking for. when he missed speaks, he

sometimes the truth. at this is clearly the truth you trump administration is trying to make, whether it was voter fraud or not, one thing is clea, joe biden will not be a transformative president. you heard weekend at bernie's, this will be one term at biden's. it look, we have to admit, any fair-minded watcher, he is not vigorous, he is not mentally agile enough to move a robust agenda. i also think the more people see him, the more they will see his true state. we will see him in moments of justice crowd. >> the motorcade is now approaching. look, this is late. at this is late in the evening. we don't usually see joe biden out this late, i think they want to go and plant a flag and call this a victory, despite the fact that you are only supposed to have .3% of ballots spoilage in pennsylvania, and there could have been as much as 3% of

ballots spoilage, which means, were not talking fraud, we are talking recount. if that happens, that could change the whole deal if arizona come through for trump. >> it is a perception game. people on the street, this kind of razzle-dazzle event where he claims the presidency, other president reacts is going to be decisive in what he decides to do next. >> laura: it looks like a presidential motorcade, look at how big it is. that's probably part of the perception, here. i think this does not surprise me given where the ballot counting is going, eroding trump's, destroying terms lead after new ballots are brought in. tranches of ballots, late ballots, ballots that arrived on election day. because i don't know how you can claim the presidency. the president has to strike a very delicate balance year. he has to defend the integrity

of the vote, while at the same common no matter what happens here, you created a political movement here. like andy jackson, he can appoint candidates, he can mov move -- >> laura: your guy biden said it, we had to be patient. this could go on -- they said this could go on for weeks. to remember all of those sound bites we played? now, they want to rush and before anything is declared? what? what happened to patience? this could go on for weeks. >> he's challenging these counts, their recounts underway, and i just don't think can claim the presidency like this. if they are clearly trying to set something up here. the president has to act very -- i think, soberly in this moment and to be the leader that he is now. it looked, they want to drive him, and the media, out into the public, get him angry, make him lose his temper. he can't to do that.

he has to be the defender of the boat and the integrity of that boat. that's what people expect. then he can propel his movement forward no matter what happens to him in this election. >> laura: the more presidential and sober and calm the president is, of wanting to get to the bottom of all of these questions regarding the boat and mail-in ballots, the more calm he is, the more effective he is. he saw the reaction in that second debate he did. that town hall he did with savannah guthrie, he listened to everybody's questions. it you know that's how he is paired with the he comes across is that, wanting to know the truth for the future of this country, demanding fairness, but also not dropping out. he's going to go down as one of the greatest presidents of the last 100 years if he plays his cards right just on his results. >> he's got angie jackson handy

andrew jackson hanging. he was a real estate parent, after he was an office, he said this the other day and it caught my attention. watch. >> now, they're starting to realize, if donald trump loses, he might be the guy. i'm telling you, absolutely. i would absolutely accept them to be involved in politics. i would absolutely put them on the short-list that are likely to run in 2024. >> that sends chills through the media tonight. like andy jackson, and retirement, he could be -- or rather the post presidency, he could run again as teddy roosevelt did, or as andy jackson did. getting james polk erecte electo office. getting this populist movement

going much further than a second term. >> laura: i think, winning an election when 70 million americans believe that there are really serious unanswered questions about how the vote was done. winning an election under those terms, it's not good. if that's what ends up happening and biden can declare victory before any of these court challenges are actually heard, i think if the shoe were on the other foot, they would be pulling down more statues tonight, not doing dance parties in the streets. >> part of the calculus here, they're going to try to project biden is a great unifier, someone who can bring the country together. frankly, his behavior during this campaign would indicate he is incapable of that. what half the country disagrees, it's going to be very disappointing. >> laura: you're going to unify the country when your

energy source, aoc, is demanding an accountability project to be in order for anyone who ever worked for the administration, essentially -- i'm paraphrasing, but essentially be shunned from civil society? i mean, trump accountability project. i don't know if that's a fund-raising mechanism for people to gag staffers, but it sounds like a very odd dictate to oriole, tyrannical measure instead of actually convincing people that you were right and they were wrong. it's shutting them down, and to taking away their livelihoods. that's what they are talking about. how is that unifying the country? because it's a politically sanctioned purge of people you disagree with. how is that unifying? some of the most dehumanizing talk i've heard, i don't care if you like him or don't like him,

biden is the president or not, you don't dehumanize the man who a majority of americans have elected to represent the count country. it is frankly disturbing at that kind of language continues. i heard it today, i heard it yesterday, and to cut him off -- the president comes out and you just cut him off. we have to get past this. i pray that the media, which is critical to this republic working properly and a well-informed -- if they do their jobs better, we can have a fully functioning unified country. if this game continues, we are out of luck. >> lauraspewing former vice pret biden is going to make some or remarks, it would be premature to say the least after the supreme court intervened tonight to declare victory. let's go to jacqui heinrich outside of the center in

wilmington. >> good evening laura. if there was no chance the former vice president was going to claim victory before all the votes came in. the feeling was that as these totals trickled in throughout the day, things were getting closer, campaigns projections for what were going to be wins in arizona and nevada. at those things are becoming more clear. they are setting up for what they expected to be a victory speech when a network made that call. without that having happened, the plan is for the former vice president to address americans about the state of where things lie right now, express confidence as he has the last couple of nights and where they believe they will be once all of this gets tabulated. he is not going to get out ahead and claim victory. a part of the reason why, sources tell me, a, he is superstitious. it b, he thinks it's important for the american people to watch the democratic process play out, and he's taken steps to, you

know, take a different approach than the president and many different parts of this campaign, partly and when the president came out that first night on election night he believed he had won, joe biden wanted to take a different approach. they've also been taking a different approach in terms of showing -- the lawsuits, they believe are incoming giving some transparency from what they see as the fronts of the republicans are going to be coming at them on what they believe their defenses are, and trying to give an air of transparency and confidence. to that take on it, anyway. behind me has been set up. >> laura: and joe biden eking out. >> we don't have a final declaration, a victory, yet. the numbers tell us it's clear. it's a clear story. we are going to win this race. just look at what has happened since yesterday. 24 hours, we were behind in georgia, now we are ahead, and we're going to win that state.

24 hours ago, we are behind in pennsylvania, and we are going to win pennsylvania. now, we are ahead, but we are winning in arizona, and nevada. in fact, our lead just doubled in nevada. we are on track with over 300 electoral college votes. look at the national numbers. we are going to win this race with a clear majority and the nation behind us. we've gotten over 74 million votes. let me repeat that, 74 million votes. that's more than any presidential ticket has ever gotten in the history of the united states of america. our vote total is still growing. we are beating donald trump by over 4 million votes. that's a margin that is still growing as well. i wanted to say what i'm proud of, how well we've done across america. we're going to be dee first demt

to win arizona in 24 years, first democrat to win georgia in 28 years, and we've rebuilt the blue walls in the middle of the country that crumbled four years ago. pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, the heartland of this nation. i know watching these vote tallies on tv moves very slow and does as low it goes, it can be numbing. never forget, the tallies aren't just numbers, they were present votes and voters. they exercised this fundamental right to have their voice heard. what's becoming clearer each hour, is that record number of americans of all races, faiths, religions, chose change over more of the same. it given us a mandate for action on covid, the economy, climate change, systemic racism. they made it clear, they want the country to come together,

not continue to pull apart. the people spoke. more than 74 million americans, they spoke loudly for tickets. while we are waiting for the final results, i want people to know, we are not waiting to get the work done. we are starting the process. yesterday, senator harris and i held meetings with groups of experts on public health and economic crisis this country is facing. the pandemic, as you also know, is getting more worrisome all across the country. daily cases are skyrocketing, it is now believed that we could spike and see as many 200,000 cases in one single day. the death toll is approaching 240,000 lives lost in this virus. it that's hundred 40,000 empty chairs at kitchen tables and dining room tables all across america. we will never be able to measure all of that pain and the loss,

the suffering, so many families have experienced. we know something about what it feels like to lose someone. i want them to know, they are not alone. our hearts break with you. we want everyone, everyone to know one day one we are going to put our plan to control this virus into action. we can't save any of the lives lost that have been lost, but we can save a lot of lives in the months o head. senator harris also heard of the recovery slowing because of the failure to get the pandemic under control. more than 20 million people are on unemployment. millions are worried about making rent and putting food on the table. our economic plan we are putting focus on a path strongly covering. recovering. we know tensions are high, after

an election like we had. we have to remember to remain calm, patient. let the process work out. as we count all of the votes. we are proving again what we've proved for 244 years in this country, democracy works. your vote will be counted. i don't care how hard people try to stop it, i will not let it happen. the people will be heard, our journey is to form a more perfect union, and it keeps moving on. in america, we hold strong views. we have strong disagreements, that's okay. strong disagreements are inevitable in a democracy. strong disagreements are healthy. they are a sign of a vigorous debate, deeply held views. we have to remember the purpose of our politics isn't total on

relented unending warfare. no. the purpose of our politics, the work of the nation is not to fan the base of conflict, but to solve problems. to guarantee justice, to give everyone a fair shot. to improve the lives of the people. we may be opponents, but we are not enemies. we are americans. no matter who you voted for, i am certain of one thing. the vast majority of those 150 million americans who voted, they want to get the vitriol out of our politics. we are not going to agree on a lot of issues, but at least we can agree to be civil with one another. that's but the anger and the demonization behind us it's time for us to come together as a nation to heal. it's not going to be easy, but we have to try. my responsibility as president will be to represent the whole nation. i want you to know that i will

work as hard for those who voted against me as those who voted for me. that is the job. at that is the job. it's called the duty of care for all americans. we have serious problems to deal with, covid, the economy, racial injustice, climate change -- we don't have any more time to waste on partisan warfare. more than that, we have such an incredible opportunity to build the future we want for our kids and grandkids. i've said many, many times, i've never been more optimistic about the future of this nation. there is no reason we can't own the 21st century. we just need to remember who we are. at this is united states of america. there's never been anything, anything we've been unable to do, unable to accomplish, when we've done it together. i hope to be talking to you

tomorrow. i want to thank you all, and may god bless you, may god protect our troops. good night. what was the point of that speech other than cliches how descent and kind they are and we need to come together? >> i have never heard so many words to accomplish saying absolutely nothing. is this a point in here? he is pretending to be a good unifier. he doesn't have the it factor. somebody rights those speeches heat wave is not barack obama. give barack obama credit where it is due. joe biden stumbles over words because he didn't write them.

all of the talk of unifying the nation. telling trump to shut up and said america voted a clown into office. his party is pushing for shut downs with no end in sight. they want the country looking to the government for stimulus checks. the problem was not the pandemic. the problem was how politicians dealt with the pandemic. they want to get back to work and their children to get back to school. that's the message president trump delivers opposite from joe biden. this is a politician to his core. says whatever is written on the teleprompter. >> shannon: he was struggling in parts of those brief remarks.

some people on the fence saying wait a second we have 6.9 unemployment after a horrible pandemic and he is saying we will show you how do a discovery. are you kidding me? >> he is being so dishonest. he wants to mandate a longer shutdown. he is not a leader. nothing about the way he comes across. he has no poise, no elegance. he seems to be mentally deteriorating. if donald trump said that, they would have cut away from this, we are going to win. will somebody fact check that. if donald trump tweeted it, it would be pulled off the internet. >> laura: that's a great point.

candace, great to sigh. -- see you. that's all the time we have. spend time with your family and fly your flag and be of depend cheer. shannon bream and fox news @ night take it from here. >> ♪ >> shannon: welcome it fox news @ night. i am shannon bream. breaking tonight joe biden said voters have given him a mandate. he said they have given us a mandate for action on covid, the economy, climate change and systemic racism. he leads in pennsylvania, nevada and georgia. they are very slim. many states tonight too close for an official call. president trump not going down without a fight. ramping
