>> that is his option for us that we as the american people have to either choose gun-control or more gun control which in his case is to sell our firearms to the government, they say buyback but never buy it in the first place or the other option is to register our firearms with the atf which is an unconstitutional regulatory body that shouldn't have that dictate in the first place. or we are seeing is an expansion of the national firearms act or we will see a gun tax which is estimated to be $34 billion, registering our firearms with the atf. >> something else down the pipeline could be universal background checks, kamala harris said she wanted to get that done if congress didn't pass that in the first 100 days of her in office she would seek executive action. how do you feel about background checks?

2020, the second amendment didn't apply to high-powered weapons we have today so what do you say to those people? i am sure you get that argument all the time. >> i get the argument all the time, whatever weapons they had at the time. our forefathers had the foresight to see regardless of the inventions, innovations of technology in the future that we have a right to defend ourselves, to keep and bear arms, it is clear in the second amendment keep and bear arms means all arms, whatever intervention we have in the future or in the past it doesn't matter. it comes down to us protecting that right and that is all that matters. >> it is a hot button issue and you are getting your message out there. thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. jillian: stay home is the warning from the cdc when it comes to holiday travel.

haven't seen much hard evidence. jonathan turley was on with bill hammer yesterday. >> i am sympathetic to the argument that it takes time to get affidavits and evidence. on that part they were perfectly valid saying they were moving towards court this is not the time for opening statements. this is the time for hard evidence. >> in addition to that you had karl rove claiming the legal team has an obligation to go to court and prove this for the american people have every reason to question equitably, you can't just leave these serious accusations out there. what happens next? when will the american people see more of this hard evidence that is claimed to be had? >> the legal team is working to bring that evidence forward. a lot of this is when we get into court with affidavits in the discovery phase of a trial for our ability to look more fully into what is going on.

making this move then? >> because myself and the rest of the michigan republicans in the house and astronaut have done literally everything else. we tried working with the governor. we tried passing bills. we had to go to the supreme court and won in the michigan supreme court. we had half a million citizens file petition to return power back to the legislature in a way from unilateral the secretary of state refuses to certify those. at this point i'm out of options. >> governor whitmer doesn't have time for partisan politics for people who don't wear masks have a plan to fight this virus. wkeep us updated on your end if you. carley: there is a lot going on in michigan right now. have you two republican canvassers in the detroit area who called to certify the election results and then they rescinded that claim. there is a bit of confusion

evidence there is fraud but when they put board up over the windows and not allow people to monitor that gives the appearance of impropriety. i also don't appreciate there were people on the call, including a newly elected state representative doxxing one of the canvassers with children where they go to school and causally threatening them. i find that to be abhorrent behavior and unacceptable. we don't threaten people's children in this state. carley: no, you certainly don't. one of the reasons why these two republican canvassers wanted an audit of these election results is because the poll books didn't match with the number of registered voters. we have 10 seconds left. can you shed a quick insight on how that's possible? >> yeah. so somebody might have logged in and showed up at the polling location, said they wanted to vote and then just was like i'm done, i can't do it and then
