williams played an incredible historical archive of different glorious and dignified concession speeches from people in both parties. there is a fear not only about donald trump's supporters here but about donald trump. usually are the supporters ready, are the bernie fans ready -- here it's more like is he ready. >> well, that's the billion-dollar question right now. and i'm petrified quite frankly about it, about how much chaos he can sow if he chooses to not go quietly into the night and not to be gracious and not to uphold the dignity of the office that he seeks, to uphold our democratic principles and say hey, i lost, let's move on, let's all make america better together. and i just don't see him going quietly into the night at all. >> we interviewed several historians about this, michael, for a piece that we're running tomorrow. but guess what. we're on live tv. we're going to preview it right now. and the historians i spoke with said it's not only about the candidate as a person, it is also about their ambitions

within the structure of the patpa party and they contrasted donald trump to virtually every other modern candidate -- that's what they said. the historians we spoke with said it's not just the personality, it's that other candidates had constraints of either they want to run again or maybe like john kerry, they want to be secretary of state. they want to be in good standing. here is someone who not only doesn't want that within the republican party but has openly, loudly said he thinks that's a badge of honor to be at war with the party. >> well, yeah. because that's how this all began. it all began by mounting that stage and looking at those other men who were in and women who were there and sizing them up and taking them down. and that -- there was no regard to the political structure, the infrastructure of the party, the fact that the party has spent over a million dollars to put together an autopsy report to kind of lay out -- they're going to talk nice to hispanics and all these -- right. they're going to have all this great conversation and no one

bothered to give it to him, and if he got it he didn't pay attention to it. so this expectation that somehow donald trump is going to go into that good night, to use your language, calmly, quietly, and easily, that's not how he came onto the stage. so why do you expect him to go off that way? and his expectation is driven a lot in the last few weeks especially by the fact that everyone is expecting him to lose. and that just further drills down into him this idea, well, okay, i'll show you how i lose. and that's not necessarily good for the country, and it's certainly not going to be good for -- >> i want to give you an update. mike pence left the stage in michigan and has come back out onto the stage. so he's getting the crowd going again. let's listen in to what his update is. >> the united states of america -- donald trump! ♪ proud to be an american where at least i know i'm free ♪

♪ and i won't forget the men who died ♪ ♪ who gave that light to me ♪ and i'll gladly stand up next to you ♪ ♪ and defend her still today ♪ because there ain't no doubt i love this land ♪ >> donald trump is take the stage in grand rapids, michigan. 12:30 a.m. east coast time. for his final rally here at technically the start of the election day. we're also waiting on hillary clinton to take the stage in north carolina live on msnbc. let's listen to donald trump here in what is his last rally before official election day begins. speaking in michigan, a state, by the way, where republicans were not expected to be closing out with a candidate-level appearance. let's listen in. >> thank you very much. thank you. thank you, everybody. wow. ♪ god bless the usa thank you.

thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. so you know, we added this up about 12 minutes ago and look at this place. is this incredible? and we don't need -- we don't need jay-z or beyonce. we don't need jon bon jovi. we don't need lady gaga. all we need is great ideas to make america great again. that's all we need.

so it's now officially tuesday november 8th. did you ever think you'd be hearing a major speech like at around close to 1:00 in the morning? are we crazy? is this crazy? it's crazy. but you know, we just left new hampshire, where we're doing fantastically well. we're up in new hampshire. we're up in ohio. we're up in iowa. we're up in north carolina. we're doing great there. we're up in florida. we're doing really, really well in pennsylvania. i mean, we are doing well. these people, the world's most dishonest people, the media,

they are not happy. no, no. they're not happy. they're saying what's going on. today we're going to win the great state of michigan, and we are going to win back the white house. we're hours away from a once-in-a-lifetime change. we're going to have real change. not obama change. i want to begin tonight by thanking all of you and all of the people in this incredible movement. you know, it's a movement like has never happened in this country before. it's a movement that nobody's ever seen before. even these people. they talk about it. it's one of the great political phenomenas. many of them have said it. even some of them who truly,

truly dislike me. they've said this is one of the great phenomenas. look the this place at almost 1:00 in the morning. [ applause ] so i love michigan. and i was the man of the year or something like four or five years ago. and i came here and i so many friends in michigan, but i came here to get the award. they asked me to make a speech. i made a speech. and i talked about how michigan, they're ripping your auto companies apart, they're taking your jobs. they're closing your plants and they're moving them to mexico and other places. but mostly to mexico in this case. and i talked about that. and everybody liked me in michigan. i said but we have to do something about it. but i wasn't a politician. but i talked about it, and i kept talking about it and talking about it and talking. and then i see ford moving a big plant and then ford just two weeks ago announcing their small cars are going to be produced

and made entirely in mexico. and it's getting worse and worse. and i developed a great relationship with the people of michigan. so the reason i'm here is that i thought new hampshire was going to be my last speech and i heard that crooked hillary clinton was coming to michigan. i said let's follow it up, let's follow it up. and i said there's no place i'd rather be for my last rally right here in michigan. late at night and full of energy and life. boy, do we have energy and life. wow. although this is our last rally of this campaign. it's almost hard to believe. we started a year and a half ago. we started with 17 very talented

people. governors, senators, dr. ben carson, great guy. a lot of talented people. and one by one by one, and most of them have been terrific and given us great support, ben carson's one of them as you know. but who would have thought -- and now we have one flawed candidate left to beat. one flawed candidate. it's going to be the very beginning of a new adventure because the new adventure we have to win. we have to go out and vote. but the new adventure is making america great again. we're going to do it. after we win i'm going to be coming back to michigan a lot.

i'm going to be coming back every time we open a new factory or a new automobile plant. and we will do it. we'll do a lot of expansion. we're going to do a lot of expansion. i know exactly what to do, folks. we're not going to lose your jobs anymore. we're not going to lose your jobs anymore. we are going to bring back the automobile industry to michigan. bigger and better and stronger than ever before. you've been mistreated. michigan now stands at the cross-roads of history. if we win michigan, we will win this historic election, and then we truly will be able to do all of the things we want to do. they won't be taking our jobs any longer.

they won't be doing the things they've been doing this. we'll end up having great health care, strong borders. we'll build up our military. we have no choice. we have a depleted military. we'll be able to dot things we wa want to do. when you step into that voting booth today -- it's now today -- there is one core question for you to consider. do you want america to be ruled by the corrupt political class or do you want america to be ruled by you, the people? that's what it is. by the people. that's the way it was supposed to have been for a long time. we've lost track. and for michigan we will bring back your automobile production and we will bring back your industry. wait till you see what we do for michigan. i've been talking about it for a

long time. crooked hillary has not talked about it, folks. she doesn't know where to begin. she talked about bringing industry back to new york state when she was a new york state senator. let me tell you, not only didn't it come back, look at upstate new york. it's a disaster. it got worse. people fled. companies fled. it's a disaster. the corrupt politicians and their special interests have ruled over this country for a very long time. today is our independence day. today the american working class is going to strike back finally. real change begins with immediately repealing and replacing the disaster known as obamacare.

it's just been announced that the residents of michigan are going to experience a massive double-digit premium hike like you wouldn't believe. not going to matter that much honestly because we're going to terminate it. you're not going to have to worry about it. okay? don't worry. now, on the other hand, if something horrible happens tomorrow, get ready to pay a lot more than you're even paying now. but that's not going to happen. i'm looking at that fantastic young lady right there. she's shaking her head no way, no way. not going to happen. right? good. not going to happen. no, i don't think you're going to have to worry about the premiums. but with obamacare premiums are searching, companies are leaving, insurers are fleeing, doctors are quitting, and deductibles are going right through the roof. yet hillary clinton wants to double down on obamacare, making it even more expensive.

and it doesn't work. it's no good. i'm asking for your vote so we can repeal and replace obamacare and save health care for every family in michigan and throughout the united states of america. we have to do it. we don't have a choice. real change also means restoring honesty to our government. so the first thing we should do, let's get rid of hillary. okay? that's probably -- that would be a very good first step. hillary clinton is the most corrupt person ever to seek the office of the presidency of the

united states. she is being protected by a totally rigged system that i've been talking about for a long time. it's a rigged system. now it's up to the american people to deliver justice at the ballot box. and i don't have to say do it tomorrow, do it in a week. you're going to do it today. you'll go to sleep for a couple of hours. right? go to sleep. you go to sleep for a couple of hours you wake up and cast your vote. go to sleep or -- go back to work. you people don't go to sleep. you'll go to work. i know my people. you'll get up after about two hours. you'll vote and you'll go to work. i know my michigan people. i know. i have so many friends here.

they work. they don't stop. we are finally going to close the history books on the clintons and their lies and schemes and corruption. we will open a bright new chapter focused on you, the american people. my contract with the american voter begins with a plan to end government corruption and to take our country back from the special interests. i want the entire corrupt washington establishment to hear our words, our words. when we say -- you know what we're going to say? we're going to win today and we're going to washington, d.c. to drain the swamp. absolutely. >> we've been listening to donald trump at his last rally in michigan. and now we're going live, you're

looking at a picture there of hillary clinton embracing jon bon jovi, chelsea clinton engaging in -- it looks to me embracing lady gaga. this is in raleigh, north carolina. hillary clinton about to take to the podium for what is billed as her final midnight campaign speech. no state has emerged as important in some estimations as north carolina, where the early vote has both put democrats ahead but not to the tune of 2012. we can hear the crowd obviously very loud there, we're going to listen in as hillary clinton is preparing to take the stage in north carolina. ♪ and we'll rise up >> thank you for helping us welcome election day! and i could not imagine being

anywhere else than here with all of you. and i am so grateful to the thousands of organizers who have worked their hearts out across this country including here in north carolina, to the 1 million volunteers who have worked their hearts out across our country, including here in north carolina. and i am so excited that i finally get to vote for my mom in a few hours. how many of you all have already voted? [ cheers and applause ] so i just can't wait to raise both my hands with all of you in a few hours.

now, i think i'm the most excited person in our family. but my dad may be just as excited. and i am fiercely, fiercely, fiercely proud to be my mother's daughter. and i'm also really proud to be my father's daughter. so please join me in welcoming my dad, president bill clinton. [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you. thank you. thank you. whoa. thank you. come here, come here. thank you. [ cheers and applause ] thank you.

thank you very much. look, first of all, thanks for being here. do you know how late it is? thank you. or how early it is on election day. i want to say first thanks to lady gaga and jon bon jovi. they're great friends. [ applause ] thanks to all of you. thanks to the chancellor of the north carolina state family for welcoming us here. i also think while chelsea asked you the appropriate question and most of you said yes, i think it's very important to know as

has been said before how important you are to this election. when i was a boy growing up in arkansas, we looked at north carolina because of the university network, because of all that you had going for it, and we saw what we hoped was the future of our region. today we look at north carolina, the fight you've raised for voting rights, the fight you've raised for lgbt rights, the fight you've raised for safety and justice, today -- and we've seen you've got a chance to elect a senator or governor, lieutenant governor or treasurer, an attorney general, you got a chance to point the way to a unified future. so i ask you not to quit until the polls close.

and when we were backstage listening to our friend sing, someone was hanging a sign over what we could see on the screen about hillary's mom. where is it? hang that sign up. thank you. well, she was an unbelievable human being, and she was right. and so was i. 45 years ago when i met -- when

i met this person, i said i'd never quite met anybody like this. she was to me amazing then and is tonight amazing because she kept score the old-fashioned way. what are we going to do about it? whose life are we going to change? whose life are we going to save? whose life are we going to lift? now we have a chance to redeem the promise of all of our north carolina moments. everybody in the world has them. we all wake up every day with hope in our heart, and sometimes we give it away. don't give it away. claim it tomorrow.

thank you for being here. and i ask you to be there until the last person votes for the next president of the united states, hillary clinton! [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you all! [ cheers and applause ] [ crowd chanting "i believe that she will win" ]

thank you! well, i've got to tell you, this is sure worth staying up for. it is so great to be here in raleigh, here at north carolina state university. [ cheers and applause ] and i cannot imagine a better way of ending this campaign than having the opportunity to see all of you and to watch and listen to lady gaga, one of the most inventive, creative, and passionate performers whose

range goes from a to z and beyond. and i was watching on the screen not only her perform but all of you jumping and singing and waving. it was great. because you know what? that's what i want for america and the young people of america, the joy, the passion, the intensi intensity. and you know, our long-time friend jon bon jovi was with us. he was with us up in philadelphia where he and bruce springsteen sang. and jon said, well, hey, i want to go down to raleigh. and so here he is.

[ cheers and applause ] and you know, between now and the time the poll closes tomorrow we are going to be living on a prayer. [ cheers and applause ] i was really impressed when everybody's hand went up saying you'd already voted. well, go find somebody else who hasn't voted. okay? bring out your friends, your roommates, strangers on the street. just stop and talk to them about what's at stake in this election because north carolina is key. and it's not only important for our election. are you ready to elect roy cooper as your next -- [ cheers and applause ]

well, i sure hope so. i sure hope so. and i hope you're ready to elect linda coleman your lieutenant governor. [ cheers and applause ] and how about dan blue iii for state treasurer? and i really, really hope you will send debra ross to washington! now, we are all fired up.

when we were with the president and michelle in philadelphia, the president was talking about how absolutely consequential this election is. and of course it is. i really believe it's the most important election of our lifetimes because we've never had a clearer choice. never. it is a choice between division or unity. between strong, steady leadership or a loose cannon who could risk everything. it's a choice between an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top. and it is a choice that really goes to the heart of who we are

as americans. what i saw before i came in and what i see now is a sense of potential, of joy. there's america's best days are ahead of us. if we reach for them together. we don't have to accept a dark and divisive vision for america. tomorrow you can vote for a hopeful, inclusive, big-hearted america. [cheers and applause] our core values, our core values are being tested in this election, but my faith in our future has never been stronger. i love our country, and i believe in the american people. and i
