bryan lanza is a former communications director for the trump transition team and joined us from virginiaident would be inviting mr biden to the white house. i think the president said he wants to exercise his legal options. i think some of those come to an end probably, so i think any time after next week you will properly see president trump calljoe biden to congratulate him and open up his offices to a normal and peaceful transition. and they're looking to 2024, there has been spec collisions about mrtrump running 2024, there has been spec collisions about mr trump running again, defeated or retired presidents have never had an easy time of it. ulysses grant, theodore roosevelt, van buren, cleveland is the only one to do it. why would mr trump even wa nt to to do it. why would mr trump even want to think about trying? he will still feel he has a lot to contribute. heat gain support in 2016, he gained 5 million new voters in 2016. so he is clearly the start ofa in 2016. so he is clearly the start of a political movement that will far exceed the trump era but he still feels he has the op

joining us now is bryan lanza, a republican strategist and former communications director for the trumpition team. great to have you on the program. i want to kick off with what we heard in the last 24 hours or so from other members of the republican party, many who have been allies of president trump in the past. and a lot of them have resisted falling in line with president trump in the last 24 hours senator mitch mcconnell telling reporters that claiming you've won the election different from finishing the counting and senator marco rubio and chris christie also speaking out. what do you make of the fanlgts that so fact that some of the president's allies are not siding with him? >> i think that his allies just want to have tvotes counted. i know the president is only focused on his race and winning but his allies, they are looking longer term. they are looking down field around the corner and making sure that they stand where they feel is on the right side of these types of activities. it is a challenge for the president. i think the president is the only one in that position, but y

bryan lanza is a former communications director for the trump transition team. invite mr biden to the white house? thank you for having me. i think the president has said he wants to exercise his legal options, i think some of those come to an end by late next week. any time after next week, he will probably calljoe biden and congratulate him and open up his officers to a normal and peaceful transition. then looking to 2024, there has been speculation about mr trump running again. defeated or retired president have not had an easy time of it, why would mr trump even easy time of it, why would mr trump eve n wa nt easy time of it, why would mr trump even want to think about trying it? he is still feeling he has a lot to contribute. he gained support from 2016, he gained 5 million new voters from 2016 so it is the start of a political movement that will far exceed the trump era in the republican party. but he feels he has a lot to contribute. i do want to hear from has a lot to contribute. i do want to hearfrom president trump during the biden administration. i wa

let's bring in former trump campaign adviser, bryan lanza. lovely to see you.f us have a responsibility to do so, including rudy giuliani. new president has exhausted all of his options available to him to contest this election. he went too far by having the senate leaders come to the white house and do the electorate that way. we lost the election, i hate losing, i really hate losing, but we are where we are and it's time to turn the page, and the presidency is the author and and i think it's about certification. very little can be done after to d efy very little can be done after to defy the elections. and another race is coming up and coming up quickly, which are the two of run races. we we re which are the two of run races. we were talking to a journalist on our programme who said the problem for the candidates down there as they are not able to deploy their best strategy because the best strategy is to say, hey, come about with ours, we are the firewall to stop joe biden. they are not saying that, they are saying donald trump should still be in the white h

bryan lanza is a former communications director for the trump transition team and joined us from virginiaident said he wants to exercise his legal options. i think some of those coming to an end probably by the middle of next week. sol probably by the middle of next week. so i think anytime time after next week you will probably see president calljoe biden to congratulate him and open up his offices to a normal and open up his offices to a normal and peaceful transition. and open up his offices to a normal and peacefultransition. then looking to 2024, there has been spy collision about mr trump running again, defeated or retired presidents haven't had an easy time of it. ulysses grant, theodore roosevelt. why would mr trump even wa nt to roosevelt. why would mr trump even want to think about trying? he still feels he has a lot to contribute. he gained support in 2016, gaining 5 million new voters. so he is clearly the start of a political movement that will far exceed the trump iraq, but he still feels he has an opportunity to contribute. —— the trump era. i want to hear his vision and hi

bryan lanza is the former communications director for the trump team. hejoins us now.sorry about that, we have lost brian there. we will see if we can get his sound back and we will go back. is he there? brian, can you hear us? yes, yes, sorry about that stop you know you are there. sol yes, sorry about that stop you know you are there. so i think laura was asking you where the evidence is that donald trump was going to produce. they have a hard task in providing enough evidence to show that there is massive fraud to overturn the election in five states. i think they have minor little cases here and there in between 3000 votes in pennsylvania that are in question that came in after the deadline, but overall, i think the campaign is far from having any evidence to turn over the tens of thousands of votes that would be needed to for donald trump to become the winner. so, brian, when you think the president is going to concede the election? you know, that's a great question. i think there's one particular case that's of interest that probably has the most merits, and that

bryan lanza, former adviser to president trump, in alexandria, virginia.ue corner, it used to be in your corner, it used to be in your corner, not now, north carolina seems to be in contention too, what does that say for the republican southern strategy? you are losing all struggling to hold onto states that you used to be able to count on as night follows day?” that you used to be able to count on as night follows day? i mean, it's not richard nixon popp republican party a ny not richard nixon popp republican party any more, that's for sure. the dynamic of georgia coming into play provides a lot of challenges for the trump campaign, in for them to win they make of the georgia ground. the easiest place is probably going to be either wisconsin or michigan, i think michigan is out of reach, i think michigan is out of reach, i think wisconsin is probably in play, but it's probably leading towards biden so they need a huge surge. florida is going to go trump, north carolina to jump florida is going to go trump, north carolina tojump on, for trump to get their

mary anne marsh, bryan lanza, thank you. hello there.les where much of the day skies looked like these. however, there were a few showers around across the north of wales. across northwest england and the west midlands as well. in scotland and northern ireland clouds have been thickening towards the end of the afternoon. and that cloud is associated with this cloud you can see here on the satellite picture. so warm fronts brings the rain across northern scotland and once that rain has pushed through, we will start to get milder air coming in around this area of high pressure. so temperatures will actually be rising through the night. whereas across the heart of england and wales, the fronts are kept at bay. and here, it's going to be a cold night with long clear spells, frost, temperatures getting down to about —3, “11 degrees in the coldest areas in the countryside and there will be some dense patches of fog. whereas that rain band in scotland, well, it trickles into the far north of england whilst weakening, where, over the hills, i su

i'm joined now by bryan lanza, the former communications director for the trump transition team., but after they are exhausted they should concede. but he is entitled to the options right now. give me a sense of what conversations are probably going on inside the white house right now. the case they want to make is that a lot of the electoral law is changed because of covid, so i think that is the sort of legal argument they are trying to put themselves on, that the election that took place in november that they changed the laws, president trump was damaged by those changes, they were changed unilaterally by they were changed unilaterally by the governor, it should have been a legislative act. they may have a strong case, they may ultimately win that case but i think the challenge of invalidating the election just becomes too high at this point. joe biden will hit 306 electoral college votes. right, as you know, but for the benefit of our audience is overseas, both campaigns have transition teams. they both have to behave as if they are going to win and be prepared for that event
