harrison joins me now from south carolina. thank you very much for being with us. if i can ask you about a little bit of news first, it's that vice president mike pence is planning onsouth carolina tomorrow to campaign for lindsey graham. as you know, five people in the vice president's inner circle are now positive. the president, vice president, has chosen not to quarantine, as is cdc guidelines. what do you make of the fact that the vice president will still be in your state? >> well, two things, john. first of all, it's good to see you this morning. two things. listen, first, the vice president was over the covid relief effort and the covid effort for the administration. so i think it's probably not the safest thing for him to be traveling around with five members of his staff, including his chief of staff have been infected with the virus. you know, we've got to be responsible. we have to demonstrate the right type of leadership. but the second thing is this. you know, i don't think i'm old enough to remember the last time a presidential candidate or vice presidential candidate traveled to south carolina in last week of an election. it goes to show you that wh

mike pence and kamala harris go out it tomorrow they will be separated by plexiglass. it is going to look a lot like this when senator lindsey graham faced off with his opponent jamie harrisonver the weekend. harrison actually brought his own plexiglass. there are other safety measures being taken. the rifles will 12 feet apart. the same distance that separated president trump and joe biden. >> the radical left -- >> will you shut up, man! >> in the audience member that will not wear a mask will be exporteescorted out and that's different than the presidents family defied order and set without masks. we have learned florida attorney general pam bondi has been playing harris in debates with harris/mike pence. one safety issue for the debates is the loud talking. as the candidates interrupt each other. >> $1 billion -- >> you know what, that it's absolutely not true. >> experts warn loud talk introduction increase the risk of spreading covid-19, especially in poorly in event -- ventilated space is like an office and mass transit. according to the latest cdc virus the virus can linger in the air for a minute or several hours and infect people more than 6 feet apart. in new yor
