you're part of a group called the national council on election integrity. we've just had this major election more americans voted in this election than have voted in a century in this country. they're back, they're back at it. a lot of people are saying that election is not over. you are a republican, but one who does not support donald trump. what do we need to achieve at this point to get a sound secure trustable election result that more americans will believe in that are that are on the case now. steve, thanks for having me on. i do, i believe the essence of democracy is a trust and confidence in our a free fair, secure our elections. and if most americans feel that this past election was fair and was secure and was honest, then that's a big thing. that's a big deal because that's where you start. if the citizenry of this country don't believe that the elections were fair or if they were stolen or if they were fraudulent, they're not going to believe anything. they're not going to believe in. their leaders are not going to believe what their leaders say

being a loser, it is dangerous to our election integrity, and i'm part of a group called the national council on election integrity, and i'd like to just read a little bit of their statement that they put out tonight in response to it. it's, quote, the president spent 15 minutes this evening using the podium of the white house to make false claims that undermine the integrity of our elections, and that's from 40 people including people like dan coats, who was part of his administration, michael chertoff, but also madeleine albright and many former members of congress, democrats and republicans. it was appalling as well as the behavior of his sons going out and threatening members of congress for not, you know, coming out and agreeing with them. >> and, amanda, after four years of president trump, i'm pretty confident that we can say that he's known as this bare-knuckle cage fighter when he wants to push back and fight back. so how can democrats combat this as the president challenges this in court, goes on camera, makes baseless accusations that he cannot back up with evidence? >> you know, i
