lee and working with jefferson davis. you have to think how lee -- believed that civilian authority needed to be informed. the key is deference. lee, the language he employed in writing to davis time and time again, he made sure davis never felt that he was being snubbed. scott: right. peter: there will be no snubbing of jefferson davis. i think it is one of the share that lee and grant in common. both of those generals certainly had egos. they knew where to check their show deferenceo to political leadership. that is one of the reasons i think they were successful. they created a culture within the army and with political leadership that enabled them to do things they thought were going to lead them to victory. i think lee was always trying to guide davis to where he wanted the strategy to go. he wasn't always successful. he wasn't completely successful in the gettysburg campaign. i think lee's thinking was sound. davis gave in to the politics of the moment. you've got to execute this campaign with what you've got. as fa

lee is not responding to george washington's inquiries very aggressively, and ultimately, when lee finally does start to bring his troops and meet up with washington's troops in new jersey, he's very careless. he ends up getting himself captured at a crossroads by the british. he tries to sneak out of the house and ultimately ends up, you know, as a prisoner of war. there are many miss tohistorian this and confusion. lee is said to have been captured, what we might consider traitorous behavior. this is something that comes to light much later, but lee is ultimately exchanged, and he's exchanged and comes back into the american office in an important role in 1778 when george washington is trying to figure out a way to take advantage of the british abandonment of philadelphia. the british, remember, they took philadelphia in 1777 and they abandoned on the side of the french, and now the theater of war is changed. it isn't just these 1 colonies. the british have to think about them, they have to think about the world because the french are going to fight on a much bigger scale, so it was seen

at the same time fitz lee arrived. stewart was honored for his cavalry skill during his time at west point. he graduated 13th in a class of 46. he served in the u.s. regular meant in texas, saw action in kansas territory when it was bleeding kansas, and wounded during a fight with cheyenne warriors. in 1859 he was in washington, d.c., securing a pageant for his saber hook. it's at that time john brown's raid occurred at harp e's ferry and he joins robert e. lee and helps it identify john brown and also signals the u.s. marines to attack the engine house where brown was hiding out. on april 22nd, 1861, ten days after the fire hit on fort sumter, he promotes to captain. he resigns on may 3rd. on may 10th, one week later, he commissioned as a lieutenant colonel in the virginia forces and helped organize the first virginia cavalry. he's promoted to full colonel on july 16th, worked closely with thomas j. jackson near harper's ferry organizing and training troops. the battle of first bull run is where he begins it highlight

lee lie mr. speaker, let me take a moment to thank our colleagues who joined us this evening laying out the pandemic upon pandemic upon pandemic in communities of color. one reoccurring lesson stands out and success depends on the willingness of people to trust the health information they are getting. we learned this from the hiv-aids pandemic, ebola and now during covid. this is especially true. this year, millions of americans have demanded racial justice. this is because the system that exists today has failed them. we must acknowledge the centuries' old ethnic disparities and build culturally and community-minded policies to move forward for a stronger and unified country. we must act swiftly. the longer communities suffer from covid-19, the greater the long-term impact and disparities . states project their shortfall for 2021 fiscal year will be uch deeper than the shortfalls faced. federal reserve and economists project that unemployment will 2021.6.5% at the end of the congressional budget

two days later, lee sends orders to stuart. they begin with these words an expedition into maryland with a detachment of cavalry, if can be successfully executed is at this time desirable. you will, therefore, form a detachment from 1,200 to 1,500 well mountain men suitable for such an expedition and should the information from the scouts lead you to suppose your movement can be concealed from bodies of the enemy, that would be able to resist it, your desire to cross the potomac and proceed to the rear of chambersburg and endeavor to destroy the railroad bridge. any other damage you can inflict upon the enemy or the means of transportation within, you will also execute. lee goes on to issue more detailed instructions including the disruption of the railroad supply lines for mcclellan's army, the importance of gathering information about pennsylvania, the necessity to keep movement secret. and he said taking hostages, if necessary, will be permissible. this is somewhat prompted by what john pope did in his summer campaigns in vi

he is very upset with what happened with lee cain.close allies and have been since the day of vote leave when they fought the referendum together in favour of brexit. dominic cummings wants lee cain to be reimposed and to get hisjob back of director of communications, and some think he will walk out if he doesn't get his way. and this could happen tonight or it may not. it'sjust worth putting this into perspective, sonia is right, for a lot of people, this isjust a lot of sonia is right, for a lot of people, this is just a lot of tittle tattle, names they've never heard of, what does it mean? i think it does matter and we will see how much of this plays out, because these two people, dominic cummings and lee cain have been the bedrock of the prime minister's brexit policy, very heart ofa minister's brexit policy, very heart of a brexit policy without much compromise at all. it's perhaps coincidence or perhaps not that both men, one man has gone, and the other is considering leaving, just as the prime minister is on the cusp of doing t

did you come across colonel lee? >> oh, yes. a wonderful set of letters, but lee disappears, as you know, and they found him, and he was incoherent. he had diarrhea. he had not changed in days. he had some issues before he was captured, but i'm glad you are going to list that issue. i'm going to ask a question that yout's the kind of question ask sometimes that i'm somewhat frustrated with. that is -- why, on this single day -- why was the fighting so fierce? why were there so many casualties? is there a way you can help us understand that? it has to come to the fact of command decisions, terrain, other things. could you help us appreciate the singularity of antietam? >> there's some factors at play here. one is that the battlefield, even gettysburg, has gotten more cover than antietam does. part, the only cover in antietam is the undulations of the land, which is -- if you have ever visited antietam, it's a very rolling landscape, and you can hide huge numbers of troops, but once you are moving against somebody, there are not a

how important is lee kane to this. how important is lee kane to the prime minister?ht now is not important as it used to be quite clearly because the prime minister's dispensed his services. and was happy, we know, to see the uk walk out the door. but if you go back to the uk, the uk rose in the ranks very quickly. quite a lowly press officer and the vote leave operation, when it wine, a lot of those people gotjobs in government. as to lee kane, who was a special adviser for rural affairs for a few years, then moved on. they put him into the foreign office when boris johnson's special adviser put him into the foreign office when borisjohnson‘s special adviser left him. quickly went native... when borisjohnson him. quickly went native... when boris johnson resigned from him. quickly went native... when borisjohnson resigned from the government in 2018, lee kane resigned with him. where everyone wrote him off, they said he was finished in politics and getting nowhere. 0f finished in politics and getting nowhere. of course, he came back. throughout that time, lee kane w

timid and not aggressive enough, that lee is not pressing an advantage and lee is retiring in the face of enemy when washington believes he should be holding his ground and assaulting. so washington dismisses him on the battlefield and there is later a very public court martial. in that court martial, lee's reputation is destroyed, although he's not ultimately convicted. and that's end of charles lee as a significant figure in the american revolutionary story. so i don't think there is any evidence to say that he goes over to the british. he is captured. but while he's in british hands, i think it is highly questionable what his behavior is. i think he thinks at that moment, which most people did, that the american cause was lost. it's right before the crossing of the delaware. lee is likely looking for an escape hatch at that point and probably later regrets it. it was a three-parter, this question. the second one was about -- who was it about, gates? >> it says why did washington allow arnold to live? >> why did washington allow benedict arnold to live? first off, he didn't capture b

lee cain isa are a lot of people who... lee cain is a key ally of dominic cummings. lot of people who are massively unhappy with his promotion to chief of staff and didn't think it was the right thing for the prime minister to do. and i think what time was saying earlier is exactly right. this feels like a westminster bible story. but the reason why it's important is it speaks to the internal divisions within government. it probably will have lots of real—world ramifications in terms of what direction the government goes on in terms of the pandemic and how it manages communications around that. a real critical public health issue. and in terms of brexit. so, it feels like we are watching a westminster soap opera, but it's a soap opera that is probably going to end up affecting all of our day—to—day lives, but you know, i just all of our day—to—day lives, but you know, ijust come back to this point, itjust know, ijust come back to this point, it just feels know, ijust come back to this point, itjust feels so unnerving and so unsettling to know all of this stuff is goi

lee takes command, he asks stuart to go scouting. and this will be the first right around the call, and also called in the -- right. stuart and his calorie get more experience, notably in the second round campaign, especially northern virginia and the invasion of maryland, in the autumn of 1862. so let's change the slides here, and on the screen, hopefully are able to see that to the left we have a map of stuart's two comedy rate. so both rates are a ride around the army. and it helps to know, a little bit about the chickahominy rate. it occurs between june 12 and 15, 1862, right in the middle of the peninsula campaign. , they capture 165 union soldiers. 260 horses and meals, and very supplies. they write approximately 150 miles. most importantly, they are able to confirm the information that lee wanted to know. his right flank was vulnerable. they face no serious opposition, the union cavalry was decentralized in their approach to trying to combat them a little bit. stuart did clash with troops commanded by his father-in-law, the. s

lee and the capital and find ground that was favorable and be able to defeat lee before the winter set on and it was a bad season for campaigning. so mclellan settled on that and just a couple of days later after informing lincoln of that fact on october 24th and october 25th mclellan began to lay out the tenets of his plan which was essentially this, looking at a map of the loudoun valley. you can see is between those two orange lines of the map and to the left of the screen is the blue ridge mountains and the darker line toward the right side of the screen is the bull run or the catokton mountains and everything framed between that is the loudoun valley. so mclellan's plan called for the army to march swiftly and basically cutting itself off from supplies and the union soldiers would have ten days' worth of wagons during this campaign because mclellan realized that it might be cut off from his supply base, but armed with that, the union army will move under the columns under the command of fits john porter and their objective was basically to march along the eastern base of the blue

the gop speaker of the michigan house of representatives lee chatfield joins me now, lee thank you so much for being here >> good morning. pete: appreciate you being on the program. what are you finding? what this all comes down to is listen you want every legal vote counted you need evidence of irregularity if they exist what are you finding in michigan on the ground? >> well, pete, there's nothing more important in our country than integrity and our election process, and it's incredibly important that people in the state of michigan have peace of mind about the verification and the validity of what just occurred, so we launched an investigation into reports of irregularities across our state and the fact is, pete this isn't right now about being a republican or a democrat. this isn't about being conservative or liberal. this is about providing peace of mind and ensuring people that every legal vote was counted and one person had one vote, so pete , right now, we've done two different things. first, we sent record retention letters to several different clerks around the state, asking

this is the prime minister last night with another key aide, lee cain. would be mrjohnson‘s chief of staff. allies say his departure was amicable, but many of those were unhappy with his role, including the prime minister's fiance carrie symonds. the man who ran number ten for theresa may says the prime minister now has a chance to get things back on track. it is a big opportunity for him depending on the decisions he now makes. but in terms of the chief of staff role i would say the most important word in the job title is staff, not chief. you are there not to try and deliver your own political views about what should happen to the country, but to make the government machine work for the prime minister. and there are big decisions to be made. the government has to decide in the next couple of weeks whether to sign up next couple of weeks whether to sign up to next couple of weeks whether to sign uptoa next couple of weeks whether to sign up to a trade agreement with europe and what happens when the lockdown in england ends on the 2nd of december. ultima

lee cain, a close ally of dominic cummings, and while lee cain is an important figure in downing streetime minister's chief aide, a man who really has the era boris johnson. if you remember, there a huge controversy earlier in the year when mrcummings huge controversy earlier in the year when mr cummings travelled from london to county durham during the highlight of lockdown. boris johnson refused to sack him, displaying his importance to the prime minister. after the departure of lee cain, a lot has been said about the future of cummings. he's been speaking to laura kuenssberg tonight and he was asked about these rumours. he has a blog in which he said he planned to make himself redundant by the end of 2020 a source said mr cumming will be out of government by christmas. why this is important, there is clearly been quite a lot of turbulence in downing street over the past couple of days about who has the ear of the prime minister. does government that is trying to tackle a pandemic and the other thing is both of them worked on the vote leave, the brexit campaign, along with boris johns

according to the times, the departures of lee cain and dominic cummings represent the conclusion of aus power struggle at the heart of government. the financial times says the architect of britain's exit from the eu left downing street carrying a cardboard box and a trove of potentially dangerous secrets, and quotes a government insider saying they wouldn't be surprised if there's an explosive stunt between now and christmas. the i reports it was a bitter end to life at downing street for dominic cummings after days of political turmoil as, according to the paper, borisjohnson lost patience with his controversial chief adviser after toxic infighting, whilst the guardian says the prime minister has been urged to appoint an mp as his permanent chief of staff — to help heal deep divisions between him and his backbenchers. the daily mirror reflects on the victims of the yorkshire ripper, who died today, saying they can now rest in peace. and the yorkshire post also carries pictures of sutcliffe's victims, saying his deaths ends one of the most hauntingly notorious chapters in yorkshire's

after the departure of lee cain, there's been a lot of lee cain, there's been a lot of speculation overcummings and as you say, he's been speaking to our political editor laura kuenssberg tonight and he was asked about these rumours that he would be leaving number ten by christmas. saying his position has not changed. he has a blog in which he said he planned to make himself redundant by the end of 2020. a senior downing street source says he will be out of government by christmas. why this is important, a couple of big picture things here. there has clearly been quite a lot of turbulence in downing street over the past couple of days about who gets whatjob and who has the ear of the prime minister. this is a government thatis minister. this is a government that is trying to tackle a pandemic and the other thing as well as lee cain and dominic cummings both worked on the brexit campaign. seen as two people that are quite calm but if, really influencing the way that downing street is run. —— come back to if both mentally and, it will meana if both mentally and, it will mean a possible si

lee will do it take his army back into virginia. the army is fanning out to try to block all of the different fjords to make sure that lee does not get back into massachusetts and continue the campaign, but the campaign will come to an end. just two days later after the campaign in maryland, you have one of the most important political actions of the entire war and perhaps of all of american history and ththat is emancipation prokical icalprocl. it is a war changing measure and it signals to the confederacy and the citizens of tunited states how it has changed and will continue to change. there is a lot of political background and pressure to what is going to happen in the valley in late october and early november of 1862. and this picture very well known, a very famous picture, taken in early october of that year during abraham lincoln's visit underscores the growing divide between abraham. and you see him there on the right side of the forecast. lincoln will come up to visit the army of the potomac. he wants to see the field and g

lee cain is now working out his notice.ut how to manage his office and his government. chris mason, westminster, bbc news. 0ur political correspondent leila nathoo is in downing street. this is really about more than just one resignation, isn't it, leila? absolutely. the office we are talking about is 10 downing street, the heart of government, where decisions are made that govern all of our lives, and the person leaving is one of the prime minister's most trusted close aides, who has been at his side long before he ended up in downing street, so that would be destabilising for any prime minister to lose one of his inner circle, especially because his department has exposed power struggles, clashes and tensions at the very heart of government. they are clearly those who think that because of lee cain's history with a vote leave campaign, pa rt of history with a vote leave campaign, part of a small team of those from that campaign brought in to number ten, along with dominic cummings, that this will shift at —— herald a shif

lee before the winter set on, and that was a bad season for campaigning. just a few days after informing lincoln of that fact, on october 24th and october 25th, mcclellan began to lay out the tenets of his plan. it was essentially this. again, looking at a map of the loudoun valley, you can see between those two orange lines there on the map. the left line is the blue ridge mountains and the right line is the bull run mountains. everything between that is the loudoun valley. mcclellan's plan had his army march swiftly. they would march with ten days worth of rations during this campaign, because mcclellan realized that his army might be cut off from its supply base. armed with that, the union army was going to move into columns. the left column consisted of the second and fifth corps. their objective was to march along the eastern base of the blue ridge mountains and sees each of the mountain kept in the bluish so that they could secure the union supply line that was going to continually grow and grow and grow the further set that the union army advanced.

cain has guidance, but the departure of lee ca i n has clearly guidance, but the departure of lee cainis infighting, the personality clashes, struggles for power and tensions in downing street and it has really exposed them to the fore, and i think that that is quite damaging for downing street and you will hear criticism levelled today about why we are focusing on infighting in downing street, the departure of age, when the government should be focusing on the pandemic. remember brexit negotiations are coming to the crunch and a couple of weeks but there will be those who think that this could mark a moment, a shift if you like, in the approach of downing street and certainly people in the tory party, in government, who want the prime minister to use lee cain's departure as a moment to reset and change the approach of government, because there has been a lot of criticism within the party and within government about how number ten has been working. we will see how it unfolds. thank you for now. there are more patients in hospitals in wales with covid 19 than at any time including durin

the second item you requested is lee harvey oswald's address book. this is a custom-made container made by our conservation staff. this is acid-free. this is mylar. it has a handy lift so you can get it out without having to pull on it. it is the commission exhibit 18. it has all of his handwritten items including the map, addresses, and telephone numbers, as you would expect. the final item is a map of mexico city. oswald made a trip to mexico city prior to the assassination, and brought this map home. this was acquired by dallas police and the fbi and eventually the warren commission as well. this side of the map offers a smaller map with tourist spots which are identified on the side. as you can tell, certain things were circled. it was like that when we received it. obviously, we would not add anything like that. the backside is a larger map, again, with several items circled. i had found in secondary sources people have written that some of the items circled -- and i assume it is on this side -- were actually the embassies of cuba and the ussr,

general lee surrendered to grant on april 9, 1865. so what?a would fight no more. that's a big so what? what about the enslaved population of appomattox and the state of virginia, what was their future and the future of former slave holders and older and middle class whites that did own slaves and would still be deeply affected by what was about to happen. we will head down to the village of appomattox courthouse and we'll visit the kelly house that could also be known as the robinson house and explore the story right here in the village that shed some light also of a national significance of what happened after the surrender. >> here on the eastern edge of the village of appomattox courthouse we find a contrasting building. behind me is a home that was known as the kelly house at the time of the sur rernd. unlike the mclean house and an upper middle class home of 3200 square feet, perfect for the surrender meeting for lee and grant, the kelly house far more represents far more what is in south side virginia would have lived in in the mid-1860

lee kane was the director of communications at number 10 downing st.hy has he gone? everyone watching tonight would know this has been a very bumpy time for the government and in that context, perhaps it is not that surprising that the man who has been in charge of government communications has actually ended up leaving hisjob. but it is a lot more complicated than that. it is notjust some random resignation from multiple sources have told me today he had been offered the job to be the prime minister's chief of staff but through the day it became obvious that that wouldn't work out, there was stiff resistance from some quarters, including, iunderstand, from the prime minister's partner who objected to that appointment being made. so huge questions of rival factions being made. so huge questions of rivalfactions inside downing street vying for influence throughout the day. tonight, it's also been suggested to me that other departures may follow lee cain out the door in some kind of protest, potentially dominic cummings, the prime minister's most senior

lee: thank you, mr. speaker. to k unanimous consent address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentlewoman is one minute.or ms. lee: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise in sympathy with the of ghana at the passing of former president jerry roll andz. sincerest family, nses to his friends and loved ones. i've known him and his beautiful family since around 1994. i met him last year when speaker chairwoman bass led a congressional delegation to ghana to commemorate 400 years brutal institution of slavery began in america. wonderful meeting and visit. he reaffirmed his commitment to trengthen the ties between ghana, african-americans, and states.ed president rolands' leadership contributed to steady evelopment and a transition to democracy and peaceful transfer of power. today, ghana is one of the in africa,emocracies a strong partner of the united states, and a respected actor on world stage. my deepest sympathy and love out to mrs. rolands, the

the mp that was in contact who has tested positive is lee anderson.acts do we know who are going to be affected? well, that's a really good question. as we understand it, there were other mps at this meeting as well and as i understand it, a whatsapp message has been flying around between mps wondering who else among them is going to need to be contacted and of course than staff members, key aides as well. to be contacted and of course then staff members, key aides as well. so, yeah, the problem as we know all too well with this illness is that once it catches in one area, it can spread very quickly between people close to that person. a lot of speculation though and questions as to what immunity might the prime minister have. obviously, the vaccine is not ready. wouldn't the immunity that hopefully he has give him some protection? it sparks a lot of conversations and a lot of confusion. yeah, but we just don't know enough about the virus to be sure. what we know about other viruses of this type is that it would normally confer some sort of immunity b

there was also talk of lee cain being promoted to the prime minister's chief of staff. but these internal dynamics are crucial for who actually has the prime minister because my air, and the talk of him being offered this position prompted a backlash —— prime minister's air, and the talk of handing over this position prompted a backlash including we understand from the prime minister's partner, carrie simmons, herself a former political adviser and director of communications at the minister —— at the conservative party. a big web. and why does this matter? it could have huge implications for how the government is run, how borisjohnson goes about things. could there be changes in approach, in policy? remember, communications has been one of the government's achilles' hails during this pandemic. they have been leaks, u—turns on policies, a lot of criticism internally and from without about this. does boris johnson have a chance to wipe the slate clean? bring in new people, start a new approach? we will have to see, but it certainly is a destabilising time for number ten a

i will allow commissioner lee would like, she can raise her hand again. any other comments from commissioners? i have one quick one. one of the things that is kind of interesting is that in this covid world where you have -- i don't know what percentage, but some people are out to the show up on the job. a good number of city employees are looking remotely. has that made it more challenging for you to do investigations? have you seen more complaints around the changing circumstances related to covid? >> i think i would answer that question in two parts. the first part being operationally. how have we been able to respond? we hit the ground working remotely on march 13. now seven months aing and haven't lost too much traction in our ability to do this work. where we've seen some issues with other departments that haven't been ready to work remotely and that has delayed the responses as a matter of course. there have been some delays due to covid and people working remotely and not able to have the tools to do the work we're asking them to do. but that hasn

general lee's was not arbitrary to surrender. he was brought to that decision because of the military realities, literally, that surrounded him. in the field behind me on the morning of april night, april the 9th, the battle of appomattox court house was fought. roughly 900 confederates engaged a large federal force that would put over 20,000 federal soldiers on this field behind me. during this battle that raged on the morning of april 9, there was one known civilian casualty of appomattox court house. it was a woman named hannah reynolds. hannah reynolds, like 52% of all human beings that lived in appomattox county at that time, she was enslaved. she was enslaved by dr. samuel coleman. she lived in a home about one mile to the west of where i am standing, in the epicenter of the battlefield on the morning of the ninth. she was very unfortunate to be hit by a confederate artillery shell that morning. she was attended to by surgeons of the eighth main infantry unit. she was able to survive another three days. she died on april 12

lee. ms. jackson lee. ms. jackson lee: sorry, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from texas, ms. jackson lee is recognized for two and a half minutes. ms. jackson lee: i thank the gentleman from virginia for his leadership. i thank the gentlelady from california for her leadership. i rise with great enthusiasm to support this outstanding legislation which is h.r. 8294, the national apprenticeship act of 2020. mr. speaker, 250,000 americans have died from covid-19. today, 720,000 americans applied for unemployment insurance. here we are today recognizing the pain that america is experiencing but more importantly giving an opportunity for young americans and others to be part of a major apprenticeship program which invests more than $3.5 billion over years, five years, in expanding opportunities and access to register aid prenticeship, youth apprenticeship and preapprenticeship. i'm glad to be an american. i'm glad to a union supporter. one of the reasons is i look over the landscape of my mother's work, my father's work and

infighting within downing street that has culminated and lee kane, both senior people leaving.erent angles on this. the telegraph is very much pushing the idea that carrie symonds was deeply involved and responsible for at least some of the things that have gone on. it talks about the government by whatsapp, and various other things that were happening behind—the—scenes out of the view of not just the voters at behind—the—scenes out of the view of notjust the voters at home. but of course many of the backbenchers and indeed a lot of the cabinet as well. the article suggests that many of the u—turns the government has taken pa rt the u—turns the government has taken part in have been as a result of intervention from carrie symonds. the difficulty that the government has is this all takes place in the context of extremely serious circumstances. we have a second wave of the coronavirus pandemics, and over 50,000 cases last week identified. we also have potentially only two or three weeks remaining to sort out a deal for brexit, the only two or three weeks remaining to sort out a d

we'll talk to the newly representative barbara lee. first, to talk about the election, an expert in elections and political norms and regulations. bruce cane joins us. thank you for spending time with us. >> glad to be here. >> let's start here. former vice president biden and senator harris are expected to speak o to the nation. we've heard she'll go first at 5:00. they've not called pennsylvania for the democratic party. so what do you expect him to say? >> i'd be surprised if he's going to get out in front of the networks. that hasn't been his pattern to date. given how close the edges are, i think it would be wise to wait for others to declare victory. he has publicly, what is true, which is everything is trending in the right direction. unless they have really solid information about the remaining ballots, it's probably to just stick with that line. >> all right. do you have any insight into why the call hasn't come yet? help our viewers understand where the uncertainty is, right? is this just extra, extra precaution or is this so

lee has in his family. the reason i brought that up is because of the confederate statue and how these statues are being torn down. one thing that concerned me as i inc. in corporate america -- is , noink in corporate america one wants to tear down corporations. it with statues, it is a start that may at least let people know that if we take down statues that symbolize oppression or hatred or ,isagreement based on principle maybe we can transfer that into the corporate struck -- corporate structure. my father was a veteran. he fought in world war i and world war ii. i brother was a veteran. brother was ay veteran. he fought in iraq. he served as military police. up.my brother cannot get he was affected by agent orange. it is horrific to see somebody who gives their -- gave their , memorythis country going bad, and you cannot interact with them and let you know how much you love them because they have been damaged by defending this country. when people who fight for this country, i understand they get loans

lee carter with us, gop pollster, lee, what do you make of this, is it fair to say, i know the conventional wisdom and correct me if i'm wrong, that a lot of the early voting has been running overwhelmingly democratic, that you make the assumption that those early votes that are out there are more democrat than republican votes and on day of of the likely more republican than democratic votes, so the president -- if the story is true and it's not been validated by others, that he would declare victory that night, how does that all sort out? lee: i think it's going to be very, very complicated and very, very messy. when you look at the polls right now, they are so, so tight. we are really within the margin of error in every single state that matters. there's no question about it. this is going to be a nail-biter and i don't think we will have an answer that night. if the president is planning on declaring victory that night, everyone should expect to standby, you are talking about 40,000 votes, these are mail-in ballots that we will be counting and wait to go see. i do think the president ha

greg lee following the developments. he is here new with the latest. greg? >> yeah, frank, good evening. this formal acknowledgment allows this transition to officially begin. a transition that the biden- harris team started more than two weeks ago. this afternoon, like you said, emily murphy, the head of the gsa, sent president-elect biden a letter that her office and trump administration are ready to begin this transition process. it comes after mounting pressure from democrats and some republicans. murphy wrote her decision came without pressure by an executive branch official. she said she and her loved ones that received threats in the weeks following the election. now, the biden team and democrats accused murphy of undermining national security by delaying this important step. now, this is important, because by law, the biden-harris team cannot access federal funding or contact federal agencies without gsa signing off. now despite the step, the president is clearly not conceding. in a series of tweets he wrote our case strongly continues. we will keep
