just flavor their food which was an odd comment given the audience she was speaking to. many muslims, including him, avoid eating pork for religious reasons. raising questions about whether the no commenting platform is working. >> bill: we'll find out together, won't we, all right? there will be a lot of analysis on that, too, either way. thank you, gillian, from the white house. dana, what have you got? >> dana: i woke up to this before we go. first election day results are in acknowledged guess what, a tie. tradition among the six citizens of dicksonville, new hampshire. she split it down in middle 3/three. the township lies near the u.s./canada border. it's a tie, what else will we get? have a great day, everyone. we'll see you tonight. here is harris. >> harris: knfox news alert.

voters are making voices heard today and control of the house, senate and the white house. all up for grabs. all in the hands of voters. after months of campaign ads and rallies, the results are in the making. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." at any moment former president donald trump will cast his very own vote for president and he will do it in palm beach, florida. this will cap off trump's third presidential run as he hopes to return to the oval office. he had this pitch during the final rally last night. >> our country is going down the drain. we'll turn our country around. if you vote for lying kamala, you will have four more years of misery, failure and disaster. our country may never recover from. this is the last one. here is the good news. all we were doing is putting

ourselves in a position to win, which we can do tomorrow very easily if we show up. [cheers and applause] >> harris: the democratic nominee vice president kamala harris closed out her campaign with a full day in the critical battleground state of pennsylvania. 19 electoral votes are up for grabs there and polls show a tight race. kamala harris's last-minute focus on that particular state could signal concern. the vp pivoted again to a different message with a much more positive tone this time in the final hours. >> the momentum is on our side. [cheers and applause] our campaign has tapped into the ambition and the aspirations and the dreams of the american people. we have one day to get this

done. which means now we need to get to work and get out the vote. [cheers and applause] >> harris: here is a headline from "the new york times." in pennsylvania, republicans stress optimism while democrats just stress. economist steve moore and art laffer co-authored a new op-ed. the economy is voters number one issue and trump's record is the knock-out punch. bill melugin is in palm beach. >> we are inside rec center. the former president will swing buy soon and cast his ballot. he will vote here today. he had himself a very, very busy day yesterday. four separate campaign rallies including what may have been his last rally ever. take a look. this was the scene in grand rapids, michigan last night. he held a midnight rally that stretched into the early morning

hours going for two hours. the same spot he finished his 2020 campaign and 2016 campaign. the former president is a superstitious guy and wanted to finish out 2024 there as well. he talked about the fact that it may be the last rally we ever see from him. take a listen. >> this is my last -- my last rally, can you believe it? the rallies, these big, beautiful rallies, never been anything like it. there never will be anything like it. it just happened. it caught on and i think it caught on because our country is in trouble. >> late last night the former president picked up a big-time endorsement from podcaster joe rogan after he hosted elon musk on his show. 18 million youtube subscribers. he posted on x the grate and powerful elon musk. if it wasn't for him he would be fed. the most compelling case for trump we'll hear and i agree

with him ever step of the yes. for the record, yes, that's an endorsement of trump. enjoy the podcast. jd vance voted in ohio earlier this morning. video from a short time ago and he has been crisscrossing the country like trump and going into hostile network media views and getting camera time and he feels good where they are at today. take a listen. >> so i hope people will get president trump over the finish line. i felt good about my own race a couple of years ago when i voted in this same spot. hopefully it goes as well for president trump and me as it went for me a couple of years ago in the state of ohio. >> and harris, it has been a long, dramatic campaign with all sorts of twists and turns. it feels like just yesterday we were all in iowa in january doing live shots in negative 30 degree blizzards for iowa caucuses before there was an official nominee. here we are. election day, the day is finally

here. hard to believe it. spend it back to you. >> harris: so true. so many americans have already voted before today. imagine what that final count will look like. bill melugin, great to sigh. gee onio caldwell and marc penn. what is the stress about in the state of pennsylvania as some have written about? >> well, the polling there is incredibly close and really i think the biggest change, which gives democrats a pause, is in the early vote. the early vote there was a million vote lead last time. that has been cut down to 400,000 votes. that's 600,000 votes that have to show up in the democratic column on election day. that's a tall order. that's why i think you have seen, you know, concern on the democrats' part about pennsylvania. >> harris: a little bit different question for you today, gianno.

i want to know about the joe rogan endorsement. there are 50 million who ended up tuning into his podcast when donald trump was on for three hours. how important is his endorsement? >> i think it is a lot more important than beyonce and many of the others taken time to endorse kamala harris. joe rogan is speaking to an audience on a daily basis about issues that they really care about. he built a bridge which made him the number one podcaster in the world. we've been talking about election day. for months i have been saying that i believed that donald trump would win and today i'm more bullish and confident that i believe donald trump will win. the issues favor him. economy being number one, immigration number two and more excited as a conservative for

almost 20 years to see african-americans coming behind this candidate. to see latino americans and working class whites and union people. this is an american coalition we've seen with donald trump. the people has been able to galvanize who spoke negatively about him in 2016 and 2020 have now come to the forefront and i believe that we are going to see a donald trump win. that's my prayer. >> harris: same question to you, mark penn. joe rogan, does it matter? how much of a miss was it for kamala harris not to do that all-important podcast because so many people hear it? >> well, i think she should definitely have done it. she would have had to sit for three hours. i think they decided that answering three hours of questions is not what they've done in the campaign. i was blown away by the megyn kelly endorsement. donald trump needs more women. the gender gap is going to determine the outcome of the

election. after all, she is someone who jousted with donald trump and the idea she would give a full throated endorsement, i would have been 100 to one against that. >> harris: she has been talking about the issues and these two candidates and she was not singing any praises for kamala harris. she has been keeping it to the border so on and so forth and all in donald trump's lane. let me ask you this though, mark, to double down. with joe rogan you had somebody who hadn't endorsed yet. the question is about the endorsement with all those people who tuned in. >> look, i think it's a solid endorsement, no question about it. i think that it doubles down on kind of the basic strategy of coming through with kind of more working class, down to earth. i think trump was frankly quite open in that interview. it wasn't a spectacular interview itself. >> harris: it was three hours. >> yeah. it was open and personable, though.

and i think it was exemplary how trump has tried to run this campaign compared to some of the others. so i don't know how much difference it will make coming in the last night but i think what you kind of see here is kelly, rogan, a number of other endorsements not from celebrities and i really am not a fan of the celebrity endorsement strategy. in fact, i threw them all out when i was running things because you want to be serious about the issues. and so i don't think it's a kind of internet celebrity kind of thing that voting is really about. >> harris: talking about needing women i think of the former ambassador nikki haley and has come out in recent days with articles and talking and being on camera and everything else. so he does, in fact, have strong women around him. i don't know if we want to call mark cuban. i think he is probably still listening, i don't know. while the polling is neck-and-neck former president

trump is heavily favored to win in nearly all betting markets except for one. one political analyst wrote in a new opinion piece, quote, this race is close but i'm predicting donald trump wins the electoral college and possibly the popular vote. polling expert nate silver writes quote, when i say the odds are in this year's presidential race are about as close as you can possibly get to 50/50, i'm not exaggerating. end of quote. "new york post" with a cover tiebreaker for trump. one win, one loss, one more nail biter. gianno, we knew it would be like this, though. actually when we were thinking this, it wasn't even these two candidates. >> that's right. that's absolutely right. a former president, there was an attempt on his life. assassination, more than one. now we know that it's two. we see that he has taken the bull by the horns and he is

giving god all the glory for him living and running this race and so grateful and thankful that's the case. not only that he has taken these moments and made these moments where a billionaire, which he is, is seen as a regular guy. the fry cook at mcdonald and the guy willing to get in a garbage truck. he is the working man. that's something i think quite exceptional and something there has never been able to do. people have more in common with donald trump, i would think, than they do kamala harris. >> harris: let me step in for a second. can you see the screen right now? this is chicago. you see the long line of people. >> it looks like it is over by state street. yes. >> harris: i realize this is not a battleground state, illinois. but when you see voting this robust across the country you both have had experience in watching these things. mark penn, you watched from the white house at one point. gianno, what does it tell you about your home city and maybe

just the intensity, the level of intensity to get out the vote. not just this one line but you've been there and know what it looks like. >> i got involved in politics when ways 14 there. i will tell you rick people in chicago are very upset about the migrant issue and immigration. that's a top tier issue for many people there. there has been a tremendous amount of resources usurped from the citizens of the city of chicago and the state of illinois and given to people who have never spent or made a tax dollar if you will. so there is a lot of issues in chicago. the violence is another major issue. one that's impacted my family unfortunately. this election people will never forget. none of us will forget. it is an historic day. i hope at the end of it donald trump is the purveyor and the winner. >> harris: right now mark and gianno the people winning are in lines and previously voted in early vote. it's the american people.

their voice is heard loud and clear. god bless them all and god bless you and your family after christian's passing. i always want to recognize. mark, good to see you as well. thank you. it's here, november 5th. fox news channel is really the cool place to be. it's the only place to be. we have all day coverage on all things election. bret baier and martha maccallum take over at 6:00 p.m. taking you through the wee hours of the morning and night and beyond that with the best analysis in the business. and i will be there with you and with them throughout the evening with my voters' voices, a live audience. you know how we do it on "the faulkner focus", voters' voices will join me to discuss what has swayed them throughout the election and determine their final vote for president. and the most important issues in the race. we'll hear directly what resonated from these candidates

right down to the wire all right here on the fox news channel, fnc for the cool kids. it was a calculated effort. skirt the issues, go big on bribes and feelings. whether that strategy will pay off for the vice president after she flip-flopped on many past policy positions is yet to be known. the policies -- the polls won't close for several hours across the country. the fight for election integrity is well underway. a close look at the hundreds of legal challenges already in play. what may be coming down the road and what it all means for the presidential race call. >> if it's close, this could take time especially because the rules are different in every state. these are some of the challenges that come along with litigating voter fraud in the era of mail in voting. i don't have any anxiety about money anymore.

great people. different people that's for sure and all of them had different reasons for getting a reverse mortgage. but you know what?, they all felt the same about two things they all love their home, and they all want to stay in that home. if you're 62 or older and own your home, you could access your equity to improve your lifestyle. a reverse mortgage loan eliminates your monthly mortgage payments and puts tax-free cash in your pocket. why don't you call and find out what a reverse mortgage can mean for you? call finance of america and get your free, info kit. call this number

(ominous music) (bubbles rising) (diver exhaling) (music intensifies) (diver yells) (shark roars) - whoa. (driver gasps) (car tires screech) (pedestrian gasps) (both panting) (gentle breeze) - [announcer] eyes forward. don't drive distracted.

>> harris: well, some people among them critics are calling it is no comment campaign. 2024 presidential candidate kamala harris did not hold a single official news conference. she pushed vibes over policy details. the latest shift probably research guided, i would imagine. she avoided naming former president trump over the last couple of days. just stopped saying his name. trump's running mate, jd vance, has this take. >> she doesn't talk to the media very often. when she does it is almost always a softball interview. what would you do to fix the broken policies to make groceries and housing more affordable? nothing comes to mind. kamala harris what would you do to secure that southern border? nothing comes to mind. that's what kamala harris's campaign slogan could be. >> harris: that is that she said. he is not wrong. senior white house correspondent peter doocy with more.

>> even at this point in the campaign the vice president is so risk-averse she has shown herself to be uncomfortable taking positions on controversial policies or even on things that are silly. "the new york times" has an item now she didn't stick the landing on the subway takes podcast. there is an item that says there was a dispute over harris's take. told the vice president would be taking a stand against removing one's shoes on airplanes. when they sat down harris had surprised him with a different take, bacon is a spice. two senior campaign officials said the topic was raised in advance. things got so awkward the vice president's appearance on subway takes never even aired. the one course correction she has made is to try to talk about trump with a softer touch in the closing days but it doesn't mean she is ignoring him completely. >> as you pointed out there is a

huge difference between me and the other guy and you are here to help us get out the vote. the era of the other guy. what it has done with all the talk about trying to have us point fingers at each other and divide each other makes people feel alone. >> you can see on the bug in the corner of the screen in scranton, pennsylvania. joe biden's hometown. vice president harris who said she couldn't think that anything joe biden did wrong as president never even mentioned his name once, harris. >> harris: that is incredible. i didn't realize she hadn't mentioned his name. now that i think about it. she didn't. >> she is not saying donald trump's name or joe biden's name on the last day. >> harris: they are very different men. i'm sure the reasons are different, too. peter doocy, thank you. wow. the d.o.j. has the f.b.i. out in force. officials are monitoring 86 jury

is dick shuns. more than they were watching in 2020. more than 100 legal challenges around the elect have already been filed. in georgia the state supreme court gave republicans awin. cobb county can only receive mail-in ballots by 7:00 p.m. on election day. >> we've been here before and really a good thing to do just two things. one is don't change the rules at the last minute. the second thing is err on the side of access and transparency. get poll workers in there. allow transparency. what fueled a lot of the distrust was the litigation that could have been avoided by people of good faith saying let's share as much as we can. >> harris: there was also a win for elon musk, a judge ruled he can proceed with his $1 million

a day voter sweepstakes. justice correspondent david spunt is in washington, d.c. we kind of already know what's going on with elon musk. he posts as he breathes. how much of a victory seth? >> it was a victory in the keystone state of pennsylvania. pennsylvania is not only a prize with 19 electoral votes, harris but it happens to be the epicenter of lawsuits at least preelection. early votes cannot be counted or opened in pennsylvania. officials are trying to set this expectation that it may take a few days. pennsylvania is one of six states that can't count early ballots until today. they opened them today. officials say it doesn't mean any nefarious. they are asking for patience. a judge ruled for elon musk saying he can continue his $1 million giveaway to individuals who signed a pledge supporting

the first and second amendments. philadelphia's district attorney krasner argued this was an illegal lottery. musk attorney's said it was free speech and a judge agreed. thousands of voters in cobb county georgia. the reason they wanted an extension they got ballots late from the county. they were told they would get an extension. now they have to vote in person today or turn in those ballots by 7:00 p.m. eastern time. several states sued the justice department. you mentioned at the top arguing that poll monitors amount to election interference. but to be clear the d.o.j. has deployed poll monitors to make sure people can vote freely for decades in democratic and republican administrations. a trump-appointed texas judge gave d.o.j. until 12:00 to respond to a lawsuit by texas officials. both sides worked out issues. d.o.j. will not be inside the polling place standing 100 feet

outside and trump appointed judge in missouri sided with the department of justice and will allow poll monitors to do their jobs there in missouri. >> harris: david, i appreciate all that break down. there is a lot going on and you are the guy to get it done. republicans turned out in droves to vote early. look at georgia breaking records left and right. i was there for the first day of early voting with our all-women town hall with former president trump and it was more than 300,000 on that day. far and away more than they had ever seen in a single day. so 2020 and it has democrats sounding the alarm. 2024 is much different. remember, today is not just about the white house. >> if donald trump has the big night i think he has republicans will take the senate and keep the house. the reason that's so important, trump's appointees, not just to federal agencies but all the ambassadorships and hires that require senate confirmation are

going to get through. otherwise it will be putting molasses in the machine. >> governor huckabee. that's why we're watching the down-ballot races so closely. he hit the nail on the head. let's queue up former congressman sean duffy who knows the races like the back of his hand. he is in "focus" next.

most of those seats are held by democrats. democrats have a slim senate majority right now. there are 51 democrats, including four independents aligned with them. and 49 republicans. the gop needs a net gain of two seats to take the outright majority. and if former president trump wins his race, republicans would need just one pickup to flip the senate because the vice president will cast the tiebreaking vote. >> harris: fox news power rankings show toss-up senate races in pennsylvania, ohio, michigan and wisconsin. msnbc data analysis when we might know which party will control the upper chamber. >> a good chance we'll know the first 24 hours given the size of the states where this is happening. is that right? >> look, once you say -- once you take west virginia off the table and the republicans get

that pickup, yeah, you know, ohio should be a pretty efficient vote counting state. you will know sherrod brown and if brown doesn't hang on, you will have tester later, if brown doesn't hang on democrats have to pull a rabbit out of the hat somewhere. >> harris: in wisconsin two-term incumbent tammy bald win is in a tight race with eric hovde. >> it has gone from trailing to closing the gap within the margin of error within striking distance. the baldwin campaign has hammered on the issue of abortion, hovde talked about inflation and are you better off now? >> here in wisconsin. [cheers and applause] so -- but here in wisconsin we deserve a senator who

understands us and is fighting for us, not one who insults us. so wisconsin, the stakes could not be higher. >> look, the inflation impact has really hurt a lot of american families, this open border that has made us less safe. the crazy things that they are doing like pushing school boards to require guys to play in girls' sports and go into the bathrooms and locker rooms. people are saying enough is enough. >> the wisconsin -- the republican national committee has filed suit with the milwaukee elections commission claiming that republican observers were arbitrarily limited at polling sites during early voting. milwaukee elections commission fired back said they weren't limited in early voting and not limited now. the presence of observe herbs is something the elections commission addressed before the suit went public. >> in the state of wisconsin we have the authority to remove observers. so if observers aren't willing

to follow the rules we'll have you removed. typically we don't do that right away. we try to find a mutually agreed upon solution. >> wisconsin law mandates that the mail-in votes remain sealed until the in person and early votes are totaled. we could get an unofficial total early in the evening but an official total that includes all of the mail-in votes could be 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning. >> harris: we de-escalate between the chief and observer. that makes it sound like a situation where the voters are not the focus right there. i don't really get that. mike tobin, thank you. before i get started, in "focus" now sean duffy the bottom line co-host and former wisconsin congressman. what is that even about? i see you shaking your head. >> we have had issues in wisconsin and especially milwaukee where mike was at.

again, we want poll watchers to come in and watch the polls to make sure everything goes the way the law provides and again republicans and democrats come in again we're seeing conflict in milwaukee and i don't know how it will play out but hopefully again the election officials make sure that everyone will be happy with the election. we observed it and saw it was fair. >> harris: look, again the focus is on the votes. >> it should be. >> harris: so wisconsin we know from mike tobin's report is squeaky tight for both the senate, u.s. senate and the white house. how do you see it breaking? >> i feel good about wisconsin. this could be the deciding state. again, eric hovde came from way down and as mike said within striking distance. i think how donald trump does is how eric hovde will do. if trump doesn't take wisconsin i don't know if hovde winds.

the counties around milwaukee but we have a big state and a lot of small little voters that when you add them up they can turn the state. >> harris: did you see the live reporting from door county? i know that area well having left minneapolis many times to vacation in what i used to call the hamptons of the north midwest. it is beautiful there. what changed in that state, that area north of green bay that is important for voters to know since when you ran for congressman? you know that state so well. >> door county again is a vacation area. a lot of small businesses. a lot of money comes in from the outside. a lot of people moved there as well. people move in are more liberal than the people who grew up there and run businesses there. i think the most interesting state will be portage county smack in the middle of the state. it has a university, it has farming, manufacturing, it is like a replica of the state. democrats used to win it by 20

points. ten years ago. today it will be a two-point race either way. how portage county goes may be how the state goes. >> harris: who controls the senate in the end as well as you know that state, democrats or republicans? >> looks like montana and west virginia are good for republicans. republicans are going to have a good night. i think ohio is probably going to trend towards republicans. >> harris: does vance help with that? >> donald trump does and vance. if they will win by eight points, ten points, i think it's hard for brown to make that difference up on bernie merino. the coattails are huge in ohio. that would put you at 52 seats. you're looking at michigan and wisconsin. it could be a 54-seat republican majority in the senate. a month ago republicans were

iffy if they were going to keep it but today they're bullish. if donald trump wins. >> harris: nearly 82 1/2 million voters have cast their ballots ahead of election day in person or by mail. in past cycles early voting has favored democrats. this time around republicans turned out in droves. several states smashed early voting records including the battlegrounds michigan, north carolina and georgia. key states nevada and pennsylvania which we've just been talking about both reportedly saw significant increases in early voting turnout by republicans. some democrats and analysts say this is not a good sign for vp harris. >> the early vote numbers are a little scary. republicans didn't do what they did last time. last time trump said don't early vote. they didn't. republicans do have an advantage in early vote numbers. when the early vote comes in it will look different than 2020 and that's scary.

>> my sense in the early vote is it is not as disastrous as it was in the first three days for the democrats but it is still really bad. >> harris: so i keep hearing the caution. even from the former president last night on the stump. everybody still has to vote. so i'm wondering when do we become anesthetizeed, so and so is worried and jubilant. you've done it before in terms of tight races. >> the early vote you can't tell. where will the wind blow? hard to tell. in pennsylvania that's a key battleground state. you have a republicans that have significantly closed the gap with democrats on the early vote. more specifically republicans have done a better job getting out their low propensity voters to the early vote as compared to democrats in a state that went 80,000 votes for joe biden. that is a big deal as we look at 2024. >> harris: you hear about cannibalizing votes. that means did you get everybody

to come out early? now you don't have anybody left to come on the day off. what is your take on that? >> i love the early vote. not the process but the fact that you bank your votes early. the campaign can focus their energy on everybody other than you because you have voted. again you are more effective with your time an election day getting important votes to the ballot box. if you look at the universe it becomes a big problem but more focused because you have the votes in the bank. >> harris: fantastic. thank you, appreciate it. the battle over biological men in women's and girls' sports has become a huge factor in this election. it was really overnight. one of the most outspoken voices in that fight issued a final rallying cry. what riley gaines is telling half of our population it must do today.

>> i hear -- people, you mean, numbers of people? a lot of people will be at the convention center at mar-a-lago. we have a lot of people. it's been very honored to find out the lines are long and the conservative lines, republican lines are very long. we got back pretty late last night and it was an honor, a great honor. we had four incredible rallies and left michigan late at night. many of you were with us. and i hear we're doing very well. >> [inaudible question] >> we did a great job. we brought it back to the states. i believe in exceptions as ronald reagan did. we did something they wanted to

do for 52 years. yes, please. >> [inaudible question] what would your plan to be to reach out to people -- >> we want to bring everybody in. we want to be very inclusive and we will be very inclusive. we have a great country but we have a country that is in trouble. it's in big trouble in many ways and we have to straighten it out. crime is through the roof. people pouring through our borders that aren't exactly perfect. they come out of prisons, 13,000 people convicted of murder. we don't need this in our country. we have enough difficulty. we don't need that. people saw that and just seems that the conservatives are voting very powerfully. [inaudible question]

>> just finished it up. i feel very confident. we went in with a very big lead today and it looks like republicans have shown up in force. so we'll see how it turns out. it seems they have really shown up in force. i just got a call from dan patrick in texas. he said they've never seen anything like it. it has been very good. >> [inaudible question] >> i can't think of any regrets to use her expression, i can't think of any. look, i ran a great campaign. i think it was maybe the best of the three. we did great in the first one, much better in the second one. something happened. and this was the best -- i would say this was the best campaign we ran. >> the possibility you and vice president harris might not get to 270 electoral votes by the

end of tonight? >> it should never happen. a thing like that should never happen. they spent all this money on machines. frankly if they had used paper ballots it would be over by 10:00. the paper ballots would cost 8% of the cost if they would use paper ballots, voter i.d., proof of citizenship. one-day voting it would be over by 10:00 in the evening. it is crazy. they use these very expensive computers and i'm hearing in pennsylvania they won't have an answer until two or three days from now. i think it's an absolute outrage if that's the case. maybe it will be later but it is paper ballots. in france they went paper ballots because the mail in wasn't working. it was corrupt. in france they went paper ballots. at 10:00 in the evening they had 37 million votes counted and done. they had a winner and a loser.

in this country i'm just hearing that in certain states it is going to be a long time and it won't even be close. it won't be that close. they say i will win the state but it will take a long time to certify it. >> i'm hearing the same things you are hearing. i'm hearing states where i'm up by a lot but won't have a final number for a long time. >> in terms of watching the results and so forth. >> we will have a very special group of people, many of whom you know, and they will be at mar-a-lago. in addition we'll have 4,000 or 5,000 people at the convention center. on the the assumption i win, i don't know if something else happens. i don't know what will happen in terms of declaring victory, but in normal times i would go over to the convention center at 10:00 or 11:00 or something but i just don't know. it looks like we have a very

substantial lead. it looks like we have many more republicans voting today than democrats. if you have a lead and we have a bigger vote that means you are doing very well. they have to call a winner. and they should call a winner, yes. >> [inaudible question] >> just stop talking about that. >> [inaudible question] >> i was honored to get joe rogan last night. he is a big deal. he is a very respected person. and i must tell you meghan was fantastic. she got up and said some things that were pretty amazing. before that i think we ran a good campaign. good policy. we want people to come into our country but they have to come in legally. we want strong borders and we want people to come in. we want to be totally inclusive but i think it was a big issue. to me it was the biggest issue. i may be wrong.

some people said inflation. i think that's a second issue. i think the first is the border. we can't allow crime flails to be put back into our country or to be put into our country. so you have 13,000 plus murderers allowed to roam in our country. not going to be allowed. they have to go. you have drug dealers, you have terrorists. you have a tremendous amount of people that should not be in our country and we need strong borders in this country. i think people are voting for that. personally i think it is the number one issue. see how it pans out but i think it's the number one issue. [inaudible question] >> i don't have to tell them that that there will be no violence. my supporters are not violent people. i don't have to tell them that. i certainly don't want any violence. these are great people. these are people that believe in

no violence, unlike your question. you believe in violence. [inaudible question] >> i think i will be at mar-a-lago for the most part. i am going over now with melania, who i'm very proud of. she has the number one best seller, can you believe that? he can believe it. so we're very proud of the job she has done with that. the book is number one. we'll go over to the office in west palm and we are going to say hello to the workers. they worked very hard. [inaudible question] >> i hear we're doing very well in georgia and doing very well -- i hear we're doing very well everywhere. [inaudible question] . >> i may regret that statement but i'm hearing that we're doing very well. [inaudible question]

>> would you go louder? [inaudible question] >> i haven't prepared a speech. no. i did speeches last night all day long and all night long. at 2:00 in the morning we left. we did a lot of speeches. you can probably tell. [inaudible question] >> i don't have to do that. i'm not a democrat. i'm able to make a speech on pretty quick notice. if i win i know what i'll say. i don't even want to think about the losing part. i would like to tell all of the people that are in line just stay in line. we have tremendous republican lines and i've been asked actually to say it takes a while. i would like to just make the statement that i would like the republicans to stay in line. democrats if they would like, they can leave. but i would like the republicans to stay in line.

[inaudible question] >> i have no pressure whatsoever. i'm winning these cases. those cases are all being won. the biggest case was the florida case and it is being won. i appreciate your nice question. >> regardless of what happens tonight is this your last campaign? >> i would think so. sad and very fulfilled. i think we will have a big victory today. >> very good, thank you. thank you. [inaudible question] >> transition team, but i don't like talking about that until i find out how we do. [inaudible question]

>> look, we're not looking to do damage to iran. they can't have a nuclear weapon. my terms are easy. they can't have a nuclear weapon. i would like them to be very successful country but they can't have a nuclear weapon. [inaudible question] >> i think secret service has been a little bit tougher, to put it mildly. i see more machine guns than i've ever seen in my life. we're surrounded by -- i feel very confident with secret service. i think they've stepped up. for a long time they didn't give us the help or assets, as they say, the manpower and woman power, they didn't give it to us and we would have rallies, you saw them. 50,000, 60,000 people and i would have less people than joe biden who had five people show up and i would have 55,000 people show up and i had fewer people than him. so they should have done a much better job. frankly, the president should

make a very strong statement to the outside world. [inaudible question] >> i think my team is great. they say it's the best-run campaign they've seen. some people said it's the best-run campaign they've ever seen. in order to make that stick, you have to win. >> are you more confident now than there were in 2016? >> my team i'm very confident in. many of them are the same players, as you know, susie, a lot of the people are the same players and they've been very good. [inaudible question] >> well, i think it's ridiculous, oprah, i was on one of her last shows and they pick the biggest people and all of that and made a big deal and actually, i'm disappointed. i think oprah has become a major divider in our country and frankly she should be ashamed of

herself. you know who else should be ashamed? fox. i've seen oprah on fox about 50 times making the same statement and i think it's a disgrace what fox does. everyone thinks fox is so pro-trump. they aren't pro-trump at all. they have put oprah an all morning long. she has been to mar-a-lago many times. roger king had his funeral. the head of king world, opera's mentor. she said mar-a-lago is the most beautiful place could we have roger's funeral at mar-a-lago in the ballroom? we did it. oprah should be ashamed of herself. she wrote me a letter asking to be vice president and makes statements like that. she is a divider and barack obama is a divider, too.

>> concerned you didn't concede in the election and they're concerned if you lost this election you wouldn't concede again. what would you say to these people? >> if it's a fair election i would be the first one to acknowledge it if i lost. and so far i think it's been fair. i think there has been a lot of court cases, both sides are lawyered up. thousands of lawyers are already, thousands. can you imagine? and part of that is because we have too complicated a process. if we had a piece of paper, you know paper is more sophisticated now than computers. water marked paper. you cannot -- you cannot -- it's unbelievable what happens with it. there is nothing you can do to cheat. it costs you practically nothing to run. think of it. we spend hundreds of millions and billions of dollars on these campaigns. you could do it for 8% of the cost and have accuracy and we wouldn't have to be worried about when is pennsylvania going

to announce. it is really a shame. >> [inaudible question] >> he knows exactly what -- that's only based on what rfk. are you talking about health and human services? let me tell you, he is a great guy and do pretty much what he wants as i'm concerned. he wants health for women, men, children. i happen to agree with a lot of the things he says. the one thing i told him and told you in speeches the last two weeks, we have to keep him away from the liquid gold. we have more than any of it. it is oil. called oil and gas. that one i'll handle. i'd be honored to have him. look, if you think of it, he came in third, you know.

running for president, right? he ran a very good race. he had obstacles. the democrats really unfairly put obstacles up and hence a kennedy left the democrat party for the republicans. he is a very smart guy and very popular, too. we introduce him and the place goes wild. we love having him and musk, we love him. rogan and kelly. this is a movement, very inclusive. this is the greatest political movement in the history of our country. and even you people, some of you are fair sometimes. but it's the greatest movement in the history of our country and i've made that statement a thousand times. it has never been challenged. it is the greatest movement and we are going to make america great again. thank you all very much. thank you. thank you. nice to see you. >> thank you
