but the main thing here, coming back to this race between martha mcsally and kyrsten sinema, two very highly regarded congresspeople, both vying for jeff flake's open seat, they are both tough on immigration. but the notion of using the military i think is something that gives people pause. i do believe that is why president trump in this last rally, bonanza weekend before the election across the country, he's not coming here to arizona where ordinarily would expect him to come. i think even the president is afraid that here he could tip the delicate balance now between the democrats and the republicans separated by less than half a percentage point. >> i think he is essentially trying to build a human wall with the military and that's his symbolic way of telling the congress either you give me the wall and fond of the wall or i will have to have a walk created by the united states military because we all know that the places that people sneak in between the areas are the places the border patrol doesn't cover. >> geraldo: i don't think the military can be used in that fashion. i thin

a few hours ago i met with senators-elect jackie rosen and kyrsten sinema. senator nelson briefed me with how things are going with the florida vote count. i want to make three simple points. first, it is a bedrock principle of our democracy that every vote is counted and the senate election in florida must abide by that rule. every single florida voter, whether they mailed in their ballot, whether they showed up at the polls on election day to vote, no matter for whom they legally cast their vote, must have their vote counted. the hallmark of our democracy is simple. every vote must count. that's what democrats believe. and that's what we are trying to get done. president trump and governor scott seem dead set against counting every vote. why? because they are worried that if every vote is counted, bill nelson will be re-elected as senator from the great state of florida. trump and scott are attempting to bully the election officials in florida out of doing their jobs. in an attempt to win this election. it's just plain wrong. it's un-american. attempts to
