i'm not going to take it if lindsey graham is telling me that. again senator graham and i aren't doctors. we need to rely upon them to give us the best advice. gordon: all right, thank you. carolyn? carolyn: mr. harrison, african-americans represent 27% of south carolina's population. of the 3500 people who died in our state, 35% of those people were black. what will you do to ensure access to medical care and health care for all people in our state? ms. harrison: yeah. you know what the coronavirus did? it exacerbated problems that were already here. i remember hearing about the coronavirus and cringing. i knew the impact that it would have here in south carolina, particularly on the most vulnerable communities. we live in a state were almost 250,000 people don't have access to health care. we are one of 12 states that have refused to expand medicaid. 38 other states have expanded medicaid under the affordable care act. south carolina has failed to do so. four of our hospitals in the state have closed. we are seeing that site in type of trend. --

i mean, lindsey graham didn't just reverse his opinion, lindsey graham lied.hold the tape. you know, use my word against me. we should not take up a nomination of a judicial appointment during an election year. not only is it during an election year, people have already started voting. we've almost had a million people to vote here in south carolina. >> true, but the people of south carolina -- but the people of south carolina do say they want it to be justice barrett. >> well, john, that's one poll. i've got another poll that shows you that many folks wanted lindsey graham to stick by his word. and so in the in the e-- at the the day, i think the greatest travesty of a public servant is to lie to the people that you serve. and that's what lindsey graham has done. if he's done it this time, he'll do it again. we can't have that. we have to be able to understand that there's a reason why we have precedent, there's a reason why we have rules and laws. and politicians like lindsey graham don't get a free pass in order to do whatever they want wherever they want.

lindsey graham. and challenger jamie harrison. >> i will fight you as hard as i would. >> a live discussion on the issues important to you. the pandemic, the economy, education from your local election headquarters. the south carolina chamber of commerce and next our media. the u.s. senate race, south carolina. a live candidate conversation. >> good evening. thank you for joining us. we are coming to you live from our studios in south carolina. i'm amy would. tonight's conversation will be livestreamed and broadcast on our network across the carolinas as well as our partner station in columbia. many of you tuned in this evening to watch the candidates for u.s. senate in their second debate. both campaigns agree to the four net of that debate. this week, campaign staffer jamie harrison asked that the incumbent senator be tested for covid. the senator was tested last friday. in a statement released yesterday afternoon, the harrison campaign wrote, i cannot responsibly debate in person tomorrow night an

with lindsey graham.dsey graham will win because of the way he handled the hearing. [cheers and applause] yesterdayped it off by leading the confirmation of .udge amy coney barrett the rule of law has no greater champion. toneed south carolina reelect senator lindsey graham for six more years. [cheers and applause] in a landslide. [cheers and applause] [applause] senator graham already knows, and you deserve to know, after 150 years of nine judges on the , leading democrats and washington, d.c. are talking about packing the court. that means adding seats on the supreme court so they can appoint activist liberal judges to advance their leftist agenda from the judiciary. [booing] i mean, i was watching this weekend and servants of the biting campaign said they were open to it, including members of the senate. and alexandria ocasio-cortez just tweeted today, "expand the court." joe biden and kamala harris refuse to answer whether they would pack the court. i tried to get kamala harris to answer that question

right after you reelect president donald trump, we need south carolina to reelect senator lindsey graham more years. [cheering and applause] in a landslide! [cheers and applause] but senator graham already knows, and you deserve to know, after 150 years of nine judges on the supreme court, leading democrats and washington, d.c. are talking about packing the court. that means adding seats on the supreme court so they can appoint activist liberal judges to advance their leftist agenda from the judiciary. [crowd booing] i mean, i was watching this weekend and surrogate of the biden-- surrogates of the campaign said they were open to it, including members of the senate. aoc just tweeted today, "expand the court." joe biden and kamala harris refuse to answer whether they would pack the court. i tried to get kamala harris to answer that question in our debate. no luck. then joe said he would tell us if he is going to pack the court after judge barrett was confirmed, and now he is saying it is a live ball, and he will not tell us if he is going to pack the court until months after the election.

but i'm notot going to take it if it's lindsey graham telling me i need to takee it. again, senator graham and i are not doctors we need to s rely upon them give us the best advice for its direct thank you, caroline? mr. harrison african-americans represent 27% of south carolina's population. but of the 3500 people who died in our state 30.5% of those people were black. what will you do to ensure access to medical care and healthcare for all people in our state? >> what the coronavirus did, it exacerbated problems that were already here. i remember just hearing about the coronavirus and cringing because i knew the impact that it would have here in south carolina. particularly on the most vulnerable communities. with event estate were almost 250,000 people do not have access to healthcare. because we are one of 12 states it refused to expand medicaid. thirty-eight other states have had expanded medicaid under the affordable care act. south carolina's failed to do so. as a result, four of our rural hospitals in the state have closed. we are seeing that same type of trend

our discussion on south carolina and senator lindsey graham getting a lot of attention. karen writing in this morning that "there are republicans i know not supporting graham. they see that he does not care about the citizens of south carolina and only supports trump. his debate performance was weak as evidenced by his not answer to the judge question." steve out of charleston, south carolina, i wonder what he thinks of those comments. youer: briefly, of course, know i called in on the independent line. i'm looking forward to seeing don blankenship from the constitution party on her show at some point. dr. lindsey graham and jamie harrison. jamie harrison clearly has a deep warchest. i don't know where his funding is coming from, but i will say this. down in south carolina on the coast, the political demographics has changed over the years. more and more people are voting blue. joe cunningham and even in the presidential races. we go blue in charleston county. however, when you move away from the coast and start going upstate, people are deeply concerned about abortion, p

political report you can find jessica taylor on twitter our discussion about south carolina and lindsey graham karen buchanan rights and there are republicans i know not supporting graham they don't care about the citizens of south carolina it is sickening is what she writes that the debate performance was weak and with the independent thinks of, those comments. >> of course i call in on the independent line i'm looking forward to seeing the constitution party but now going back to graham and harrison who clearly i know where his funding is coming from that's a big question. but i will say this down in south carolina on the coast of those demographics changing over the years more and more people are voting v blue cunningham has one in the house even in the presidential race in charleston county we go blue however when you move away from the coast people are deeply concerned about abortion and pro-life and, military and immigration and economy and veterans affairs. once you start moving up state they become much more important. lindsay is scared he acts like he is deeply concerned. every time i

that is something ted cruz has said, he's been in contact with lindsey graham. they will do whatever it takes to get this moving. democrats have said there is no procedure to stop this. host: this is alex bolton of the hill. morning,a story this when it comes to looking at joe biden and chuck schumer in the senate and what might happen if the democrats win the white house and the senate. could you talk about this? one of the big stories coming out of the confirmation hearings is you calling for dine feinstein to step down as a top democrat of the committee. it's a preview of the headaches that biden and schumer will face if they do win. if democrats take back the senate, if biden's president, there are expectations. forhave groups gunning dianne feinstein after she at the end of the hearing, praise lindsey graham for his leadership. was what 25 years ago it was not so remarkable. the committee has been wracked by acrimony going back to brett kavanaugh and before. after she did that, you had groups calling for her head. that democratic activists and some of these

so it is surprising that both donald trump and lindsey graham are in neck and neck races. as you said, $57 million raised by jaime harrison. the question is who are the voters that might be willing to actually split the ticket here, vote for trump but also vote for jaime harrison? in that vein, listen to part of my conversation with a south carolina republican. >> i think lindsey's pretty solid with the washington crowd, you know. i think us so you thought cuth would like to see him do more for us. i like that he named charleston, i'm local, that gave me a little hope. the health care thing is a mess i think on both sides. we're all just kind of figuring out who can come up with the best plan. i think that's going to be a big factor in this. >> reporter: does it hurt lindsey graham here in south carolina or does it help him? >> it probably helps him because of the -- you know, the abortion issue, that's -- you know, some people are choosing to use that as a one issue that they want to hold onto. i think it's helping him. forgetting that we're losing lives in other manners.

thet is interesting to see evolution of lindsey graham.s critical of president trump and now he has become one of his closest confidantes and golfing buddies which is a huge shift for lindsey graham who was a very close ally of the late senator john mccain. hawk kind of traditional conservative. republicans have completely gotten on board with the trump brand of conservatism especially when it comes to labeling democrats as part of the radical left that wants to dramatically reshape america as we know it. kevin: that's really fascinating, especially as we are watching and listening right now to senator lindsey graham before the senate judiciary committee orchestrating and overseeing the confirmation process to judge amy coney barrett i'm old enough to remember when candidate donald trump gave out the cell phone number of senator lindsey graham on the campaign trail just a couple of years ago. they've come a long way. taylor: this will be very interesting. this is why i love to take a break from markets and talk about the shift in tone you

early voting this year, and today jaime harrison, democratic candidate for senate running against lindsey grahamrson. the senate confirmation hearing for donald trump's nominee for the supreme court seems to have helped senator graham. he got three days of wall-to-wall cable tv coverage on his role as chairman of the committee conducting those hearings and the latest the "new york times" poll taken during the hearings, shows lindsey graham at 46 to jaime harrison's 40. that's a very bad polling for an incumbent senator. the general rule is they are in great danger if they poll below 50%. before the confirmation hearings began, lindsey graham said this while campaigning in south carolina. >> if you're a young african-american, an immigrant, you can go anywhere in this state. you just need to be conservative, not liberal. >> joining us now is jaime harrison, the democratic candidate for senate in south carolina. i want to get your reaction to what we just heard senator graham say. if you're a young african american, you can go anywhere in this state, you just need to be conservative, not liberal.

first lindsey graham is in the fight of his political life in this.tionally republican state of south carolina. with the president's diagnosis of covid, it has brought the coronavirus back to the forefront of the campaign trail really. harrison, jamie harrison as you mentioned, he brought his own plexiglass as extra protection especially since lindsey graham is close with the president, spends a lot of time with him and so many people in washington being diagnosed with covid in recent days. lindsey graham as chair of the judiciary committee wanted to focus on the upcoming confirmation fight of amy coney barrett when he was asked at the debate last night about coronavirus, this is how he answered. take a look. >> we're not going to stop doing our job in washington as chairman of the judiciary committee, i promise you, we're going to get judge barrett on the court safely. >> thank you. >> the question about the coronavirus. not judge barrett or the supreme court. >> no. we're not going to blame the president. we shouldn't blame the president, we shouldn

senator lindsey graham. did they raise like $100-million? you are the new ted cruz in this election cycle going up against bozo with $100-million? >> those two ladies were trying to intimidate me. some showed at my house and broke my window. i will be stuck up here getting the judge confirmed. i am more determined than i have ever been to make sure judge barrett gets on this court next monday and take her to the floor this weekend. i will manage the bill. my answer to those two ladies is to put this fine woman on the supreme court where she needs to be. lindsey graham.com. help me stand up to this mob. if these people take over our government, god help us all. they were trying to ruin diane feinstein's life for giving me a hug. >> sean: chuck schumer said no more filibuster. they will pack the courts and they want puerto rico statehood. you have your race and mcsally and tillis in north carolina and pursue -- purdue. the senate is as important as the president winning because this would be the biggest power grab in the history of the country

our discussion earlier about south carolina and lindsey graham getting a lot of attention onet social media, kan beau canon writing in this morning there are republicans that i know who are not supporting graham they seeri tht he doesn't care about the citizens of south carolina and only about pleasing trump. it's sickening is what she writes is the bait performance was weak as peeved by his nonanswer to the judge question. and i wongd where steve out of charleston, south carolina, and independent thinks of those comments. steve go ahead. yeah john briefly i called in on independent line and looking forward to the constitution party on your show at some point. and he may have been on there and i don't get to watch every day. but anyway back to lindsey graham and jamie harrison he has a deep, i don't know where all of his funding coming from that's a big question. but i'll say this down in south carolina, on the coast of the political demographics changed over yearsas on the coast down here more and more people are voting blue so cunningham in the house and presidential race on the coa

they don't trust lindsey graham. >> well, what do you do when someone's lies hurt you? senator graham has tried repeatedly to tie you to far more progressive members of your party. how do you cut through that noise in a state that president trump won by nearly 15 points? >> you know, my message to the people of south carolina from day one of this campaign, stephanie, was, this is not about democrats versus republicans or progressives versus conservatives. it's about doing what is right versus what is wrong. when a rural hospital closes here in south carolina, people do not care whether or not it's a liberal or conservative way to keep their hospital open. because if your hospital closes and it takes you instead of ten minutes to go to hospital, 15, it takes you 25 or 35 or 45 minutes, that's a death sentence. and nobody cares about politics at that point in time. but lindsey graham has failed to act. he has failed to do what is necessary to protect the people in south carolina. that's his job. but he believes his job is being important and relevant in washington, d.c. th

harrison: again, with lindsey graham, it is the nancy pelosi show.aybe you should call the speaker to be here next to you, because i'm not nancy pelosi. i don't look like her, i don't believe everything she believes. if you want to debate her, please do that. you have not been telling the truth on all this. you said i was for defunding the police, i don't believe in defunding police. i have two members right now in my family who are serving in the police. who go in and put their lives on the line every day. you need to be careful with your language. you are supporting defunding the holy spirit -- the police. because you have not passed this covid believe bill, we have had to reduce the budget of police. so senator, you need to do better. graham, we are sticking with police. police officers are forced to handle many issues, including that of being mental health workers, essentially. this is due to decades of deinstitutionalization. yelling a quarter of people killedi police since -- by police since 2016 had a mental health issue. sen. graham: you don'

host: let me play feel the comments of lindsey graham. the most recent things we are hearing. on handlinganning the hearings beginning tomorrow. [video clip] askeduary 2019, i was what would you do if there is an opening? wasugust of this year, i asked by nbc if there is an opening on the supreme court, what would you do? we will see what the market bears. i am going to lead the charge to confirm judge amy barrett to the court, and i can tell you this. if chuck schumer and democrats were in charge, they would be doing the same thing. we have had 19 nominations in an election year, 17 of the 19 have been confirmed when the president's of the same party as the senate. when it comes to democratic judges, give them a fair shake. -- i gave them a fair shake. comes to republicans, my colleagues want to destroy them. i am hoping this hearing does not turning -- does not turn into the kavanaugh debacle. we are moving forward. we are doing nothing unusual here in terms of how the senate operates. host: siobhan hughes, he hopes it won't turn into a debacle. what are some issues that cou

jaime harrison is running against lindsey graham in south carolina. grath, who is challenging mitch mcconnell in kentucky. so senator graham's campaign announced today that he's raised less than half of how much you have brought in. and the race is a toss-up according to the political report. so right now, today, how do you feel about your odds? >> well, erin, i feel really good. the momentum is on our side. the energy is on our side. people are ready to send lindsey graham home because he's forgotten about south carolina. you know, the urgency that he has had to shepherd through the supreme court nomination, i wish he would have had that same urgency to get a covid relief bill here in south carolina. we've had 3500 people in this state to die, including my aunt. 750,000 lost their jobs, and many are losing their homes or being evicted from their homes. many small businesses are going under. and i really wish lindsey could focus just a little bit of that energy and focus on the people here in south carolina. but because he has forgotten that, it's the

we've seen polling that's been showing trump outpacing lindsey graham. p positioned potentially to win south carolina. graham in a real fight. this new poll again is not showing a difference between those two. i think that's where i want to say stay tuned, let's see if that's something that's picked up in other polls or if you continue to get that disconnect. >> okay. steve kornacki, thank you. >>> i want to bring in evan mcmullin, executive director for stand up republic. evan is also a former cia operative and 2016 independent presidential candidate. good to see you again, sir. how surprised are you to see senator graham apparently so vulnerable in south carolina? >> well, i'm not surprised baugs his leadership in the senate since trump was elected has been absolutely terrible. he's shown himself over the last several years to really have no core. he's not committed to the constituti constitution, not committed to serving the american people, he's committed only to his re-election. but the challenge with that is that the republican party and him find th

not only financially to the best of my ability, but also show wow socially. >> called senator lindsey graham a friend and even has a photo signed by him in his office but this year, he is voting for graham's opponent, former chair of the state's democratic party, jamie harrison. >> to you, lindsay has changed. >> no question about it. not just a trite political expression. he is not the same efficient and good government senator he's always been. >> a surprising sentiment being expressed by some across the state. graham has been consistently tied with his democratic opponent in recent polls. it's shocking for a senate seat that hasn't been occupied by a democrat since strom thurmond was one in 1964. >> voters on the streets of charleston say there's a reason for that. >> this is south carolina. why isn't lindsey graham doing better in the polls here? >> lindsay has become untrustworthy. >> i think people are a bit frustrated with lindsay. >> has betrayed the faith in the trust of the american people. >> another reason is certainly money. the campaign just raked in a record-setting amount, th

. >> chairman lindsey graham just gavelled in. we're going to monitor this as they begin their opening statements, but let's let them get through the procedural stuff. jeffrey toobin, i had you on the air when justice scalia's death came and we talked about heller and the second amendment decision in heller for which he wrote the majority opinion. what do we know about judge barrett when it comes to the second amendment -- hold that thought. let's go to this. >> the architect of the capital working with the attending physician has set up the room in a fashion that we can safely do our business. senator lee is back. you've been cleared by your physician. welcome back. the covid problem in america is real. it's serious. it's dangerous. and we have to mitigate the risk. i would just let every american know that many of you are going to work today, probably already been at work, and i hope your employer will take care of your healthcare needs, but we do have a country that needs to move forward safely and there are millions of america

lindsey graham is in trouble.why i tell folks, if you want to volunteer, if you want to help us, go to jaimeharrison.com and be part of how we make history here in south carolina. >> according to "the post courier," the number of ballots issued so far breaks the record. what are those numbers telling you? >> andrea, overall, when you add the in-person absentee vote, we've already had almost 500,000 south carolinians who have voted. and we expect in this race about 2 million people. so we're almost at about 20, 25% of what is expected by november 3. and so it says to me that people are excited. they're ready for change in the state. they're ready for some real representation. and my wife and i, i took my two boys with me yesterday to go vote, and we stood in line and we stood in line with the rest of the folks. but they were excited. they were very supportive of our campaign and our contest. and we're looking forward to seeing what the result is on november 3. >> and i want to ask you about, again, raising the mone

i always say there was a lindsey graham 1.0 and now we see this lindsey graham 2.0 and he's feckless,and up for the state, he is only concerned about his own political power. this is a man, jonathan, that hasn't done a town hall in person in this state in three years and that old adage that all politics are local is true and he's going to see on november 3rd that when you forget the people that you represent they won't forget you and they're going to vote him out on november 3rd. >> jaime, before i let you go, i wanted to get your reaction to something that senator graham said earlier this morning on fox news. have a listen, i will ask you about it on the other side. >> we must win this election, keep the senate, because if they win they're not going -- it's not going to be about a health care debate, they're going to structurally change the country, the parade of who are i believe so that come if we lose the house, senate and white house is unbelievable. >> jaime, had a raid of horribles. >> jonathan, this is what i've told the folks here ins lindsey graham is trying to scare them to

lindsey graham, thank you for being with us. come back, studies prove biden tax plan would be a disaster for many people in many states, and even rapper $0.50 is now saying people should vote for trump because of it. we will explain, we have reaction tonight from herschel walker, larry elder, bad and more straight ahead. ♪ e with schizophrenia? e with schizophrenia? i am a good parent. jared? i'm hearing the most awful things, people shouting at me. it's ok. when you live with schizophrenia like us, it can feel like you're living in a different world. you should definitely talk to your doctor and ask about fanapt. ok. fanapt is approved for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. in clinical trials, fanapt significantly improved symptoms of schizophrenia compared to placebo. cynthia, are you ok? i feel like everyone's out to get me. fanapt may change your heart rhythm which could elevate risk of sudden death. your doctor will consider this when deciding among treatments and may prescribe another medication first or may instruc

mark: lindsey graham pushed back against criticism. the senate has the constitutional duty to confirm judge barrett to the court. americanstion of dying from the coronavirus is the highest in the developed world according to a study of global mortality rates that shows the united states pandemic response left citizens expose to the lethal disease. the study says 100,000 fewer americans would have died if the u.s. had the same mortality rate as the netherlands. leads the world in coronavirus deaths with nearly 215,000. french officials aren't ruling out further lockdowns as coronavirus infections continue to spike. the country reported 43,000 new cases over the weekend. cities are now under maximum virus alert. government will review health data this wednesday and decide if further action is needed. france has been one of the european countries hardest hit by the pandemic. trade deal between the u.k. and the european union is still hanging in the balance. boris johnson called the leaders of germany and france. from minister johnson told

in that time, we had senator lindsey graham, who i respected and admired because he could rise above the political fray. the problem is, my friends, senator graham has changed. that is not the senator graham of today. we need a senator who can bring us all together, who can unite this state, regardless if you ,re a democrat, republican progressive or conservative, we need to fight for what is in the best interest of this state. sen. graham: thank you for giving me the opportunity to represent the guide state senate. 2020 has been a tough year but we are going to get through this. i believe south carolina is the best place in the world to raise kids and start a business and as your senator, i intend to keep it that way. that is why i am asking for your vote tonight. lots of state, control of the senate is on the ballot. i am a proud conservative republican. mr. harrison is a good man, but nancy pelosi and hillary clinton are his political mentors and inspiration. he call senator sanders a champion. barack obama are his political mentors. borders,orders, secure private health care versu

. >> so could lindsey graham lose his seat in the senate?ew polls show that is a real possibility. and remarkably they show a close race for president trump too. in south carolina. i'll speak with his challenger. jamie harrisson. next. rakuten is easy to use, free to sign up and it's in over 3,000 stores. i buy a lot of makeup. shampoo, conditioner. books, food travel shoes stuff for my backyard anything from clothes to electronics. workout gear. i even recently got cash back on domain hosting. you can buy tires. to me, rakuten is a great way to get cash back on anything you buy. shop. get cash back. repeat. sign up today and get cash back with rakuten. >>> republicans urging president trump to condemn white supremacy. so far they're not getting anywhere. here is south carolina senator tim scott. the only black republican in the senate. >> i think he misspoke. in response to chris wallaces comment asking what he wanted to say. i think he misspoke and correct it. if he doesn't correct it i guess he didn't misspeak. >> joined by lindsey graham

lindsey graham refused to do that.tests to happen ahead of the hearing. democrats did demand it, and senator kamala harris, a member of the judiciary committee, also, of course, joe biden's running mate says she's going to be appearing here virtually for this very reason. she said, republicans are endangering lives by not allowing these tests to go forward. so that's one of the things that we are watching today. of course. i'm thinking more broadly as well as the political inch placations across the map. lindsey graham is relying on this hearing to try to save himself down in south carolina, getting traditional republicans, maybe turned off by trump or his closeness to donald trump but focused on this. he thinks this is going to be potentially good for him in a political situation. >> wow. >> hmm. >> so count on that as well. >> kasie, thank you so much. >>> mika, it's unbelievable. you actually have, you actually have republicans who have tested positive, who are going back in to a work space, inside, without telling

lindsey graham just brought this up.ave democrats outspending republicans in key senate races in all of these states. the ones that you mentioned. alaska, alabama, colorado, georgia. i could go on. a ton of money. $327 million for democrats and $200 for republicans. will that make a difference? >> money makes a difference in every campaign just about. it alone can't win the race but dems are up two to one in alaska in ad dollars spent. 2.7 to 1 against lindsey graham. they're up 33% more dollars in arizona, iowa, montana, north carolina and marginally up in maine and colorado. makes a difference. getting out your message and being seen. it reflects a few things. the dems really built an impressive grass roots technological tool in something called eck blue. that's how they took the house in 2018. their money machine, which is technologically aided is impressive. you can't discount the impact of donald trump. donald trump is the greatest thing for democratic fund-raising. whether the super low progressives or moderates, t

lindsey graham has become all d.c. his focus is on d.c., and he has forgotten the people here in south carolina. that he supposedly represents. he doesn't address the issues that are fundamental here. you know, don, we're in the midst of this pandemic. we've had 3,000 people to die here in south carolina, over the course of a few months. we've got 100,000, plus, folks with the covid. and lindsey graham was the one that said, over our dead bodies, will we allow an extension of the unemployment benefits. he is the one who is trying to rip away health care, right now. he supports that lawsuit in the supreme court that's going to be heard on november 10th. to take away health care from millions of people in this country. and our businesses are shuddered. we need somebody who is going to focus on us. now, what is lindsey rushing to do? he wasn't rushing, in august, to get a bill to extend benefits to folks because of covid. because he took vacation. he's not rushing, now. but he's rushing to get a supreme court justice on t

which is why lindsey graham has been doing a lot of this. >> i'm getting outraised 3-1, outspent 4-1.help me fight back go to lindsey graham.com, 5 or 10 bucks from half your audience would fill in the gap that i'm facing. >> get on our website, lindsey graham.com, five or ten bucks goes a long way. >> lindsay graham.com, help me. >> if you want to help me, lindsey graham.com. >> lindsey graham.com. >> lindsey graham, lindsey graham, lindsey graham.com,.com, help me, help me, help mee. >> you need to have my back, please, lindsey graham.com. >> trevor: god dam it, man, lindsey doesn't sound like is he running for senate, he sounds like he is being held hostage by somali pirate, help me, help me, sen money, they said they are the cap pain now it is sad to watch because lindsey graham has basically turned fox news into one long infomercial for his campaign. although fox news usually airs ads for adult diapers so they are used to seeing a grown man crapping his pants. and i love how when you cut his deses operation together it sounds look a brand new cli hit. >> lindsey graham.comk lund

but at the end of the day, lindsey graham is a survivor and's going to survive this one. >> governor, saying there? >> well, i think rob is sort of making the case for why graham is in trouble. graham, on the left and the right, voters have a distrust for lindsey graham because he's changed position so many times on many important issues. and he is a symbol of washington. he's been around washington forever. south carolina voters don't like washington. you have an exciting new face that's come along here who has some fresh new ideas. and i think the recipe on election day for jaime harrison is a surge in particular white suburban female voters, older voters who are upset about president trump's handling of covid, and a lot of new young voters who are coming along. as i said earlier, craig, i think if you're an incumbent and you're below 50% and heading into election day, you're in serious trouble, and graham is. >> i've enjoyed this conversation, gentlemen, thank you both. former governor jim hodges, thank you. rob godfrey, thanks to you as well. that does it for me on a friday. repor

we heard lindsey graham talk about we could have pushed this through but we decided to hold hearings. tell us what's normal here and what's abnormal here about this process? >> i think what's abnormal about it is to do it this fast at a time when the senate has become so contentious. yes, it's true, as many republicans pointed out that there were times in the past where the time from nomination to confirmation was very short. but in modern times it's been very much longer, so this is certainly compressed. but, lester, you know, the people who support her nomination make no bones about it. the republicans are rushing to do this while they still control the senate and while their president is still in the white house. that's really what this is all about, but it certainly is a compressed time frame, no question about that. supreme go to our senior court nominations for more than 30 years. andrea, both sides, as we noted earlier, really sticking to their kind of prepared talking points here. democrats obviously wanted to focus on the vulnerability of the affordable care act. all of this

just one other thing on the lindsey graham story. this could really hurt lindsey graham.indsey graham has an unexpectedly competitive race. even in south carolina against jamey harrison who's had a ton of dough to spend against him, lindsey graham really needs trump's troops to come out and vote for him. and they're getting encouragement from those comments on fox news. >> where little is said by accident. thank you for that. our thanks to susan page, to peter baker, to dr. kavita patel. our big three on a friday night as we at long last head into a weekend. our thanks. >>> coming up for us, can donald trump win over more voters who don't happen to be white men? our next two guests may be uniquely qualified to take on these questions. >>> and later, last time around he made a shocking and early prediction that donald trump was going to win the presidency. tonight we're going to ask michael moore on live television how he's feeling about the race right about now. all of it as "the 11th hour" is just getting underway on this friday night. z a i feel like we're forgetting so

it's time for lindsey graham to leave washington, d.c.et a new generation take over. >> there was so much to pull out of that debate yesterday but one thing that i found was most striking was lindsey graham saying we have moved on as a nation. take a listen. >> the virus is a problem that came out of china not trump tower that we're getting vaccines ready, i think any month now, hopefully even sooner, the drug therapies are working, the one thing i want people to know is that the virus is serious, but we have to move on as a nation. >> jamie, has the nation moved on now that we know that the president, the commander in chief, is now in walter reed with covid. >> lindsey graham said that the virus is serious, but he's still not taking it seriously. i mean, even last night and, you know, in retrospect maybe i shouldn't have done, but this guy was exposed to one of the senators yet he should have quarantined himself. we really have to take these things seriously. it's not just about me, but it's about the people in that room and all those fo

lindsey graham has down an in-person towel hall in this state in almost three years.ry other night you find him on fox news with sean hannity. folks back home take note of that. taking note their hospitals are closing, roads are crumbling. so many issues here are being left not addressed, and they want somebody to focus like a laser on issues they're dealing with on a day-to-day basis. >> add to that, you mentioned the town halls he's backed out of and also backed out of the debate this past weekend. told our affiliate isn't south carolina saying, wyff, needed to be postpone due to votes in the senate including judge amy coney barrett. do you think south carolinians are reading that the way you just expressed? >> alex, because in lindsey graham's mind south carolina almost comes second to his political interests in washington, d.c. this is the problem. the senate vote he's talking about, it's senate hearing he's talking about, it's a hearing that he set. you know, he agreed to this date for the debate on the 21st. and so he set a conflicting date for this hearing. so

the senate race, after lindsey graham's democratic opponent, jaime harrison, shatters an all-time fund-raising record. the question is, how nervous should the senior senator be? it's "way too early" for this. good morning, and welcome to "way too early," the show that thinks lebron making a pretty strong case for greatest of all time. i'm kasie hunt on this monday, october 12th. we will start with the news. >>> today marks a week since president trump was discharged from walter reed medical center. but so many details of his recovery are still unknown. in an extensive interview on fox yesterday, the president claimed that he is now immune to the virus. >> the note that you have revealed from your doctor, which says you are no longer considered a transmission risk -- does this suggest you no longer have covid, sir? >> yes. and not only that, it seems like i'm immune. i passed the highest test, the highest standards, and i'm in great shape. and i have to tell you, i feel fantastically. i really feel good. and i even feel good by the fact that, you know, the word immunity means something, having

the lindsey graham race is really in flux, a really tight race.re two things to think about, the money and the policy playing a part in the races. >> very interesting. let's hear from some voters directly. ali velshi, you're in detroit. you've been watching the hearings along with voters. how is it playing out there? >> reporter: well it's interesting because i'm out every weekend talking to voters in a different swing state. for the last three weekends it's either been ruth bader ginsburg's passing, the appointment of amy coney barrett and now heading into these hearings. you know, from the perspective of voters they have a sense of how the supreme court affects their life, not just their political principles. here's what a few voters told me. i'm talking to independents, democrats and republicans. >> they basically choose many of our fundamental rights. i'm very afraid now about women's rights, about the rights of the lgbtq community, about the affordable healthcare act. >> that's a life-time appointment for the next 40, 50 years. we have to car

themselves during the hearing into just this break cavanagh you'll remember that lindsey graham is now the chairman of the judiciary committee attacked them for trying to destroy a man after he was accused of sexually assaulting someone at a party in his teenage years so they've got a fine line to trade here their argument is that this should not be taking place a toll to go back to 4 years ago when. justice antonin scalia died and the republicans refused to allow a vote to be held in the senate for justice merrick garland who was nominated by democratic president barack obama this time around they say it's different because the president is republican but the senate is largely controlled by the public and they give me i'm going to introduce i'm going to interrupt you there because senator lindsey graham who's the chair of the judicial committee has just started speaking we want to hear what he has to say. i doubt if there's any room in the country's been given more attention in detail to make sure is c.d.c. compliant the architect of the capitol working with the attending physician ha

what's the situation with lindsey graham's seat. that's lindsey graham of south carolina, what's the south carolina senate race look like? guest: the south carolina senate has had some attention over the last couple months. we rank that is tilted republican with one data point away from a pure tossup. it's a very competitive race in south carolina, he's running , who isjamie harrison by all accounts a phenomenal candidate. officever run for public but has proven to be an amazing fundraiser. he holds the record for the largest fundraising call of any senate candidate in history. speakerery compelling and has an amazing story. he's really been able to put lindsey graham's feet to the fire in south carolina. this is a great example of that kind of second-tier of races that we were talking about earlier in states that democrats have no business winning in but are somehow putting themselves someposition to eke out wins. the president's support has dropped in a state like south carolina which he won by 14 .oints in 2016 so he's clinging o

i think lindsey graham is a relic of the old south.i mean by this, stephen, is that i believe a new south is bold. it is inclusive. it's diverse. it's a place where all of our folks should have their voices appreciated, valued, and heard. you know, this is a seat, the one that i'm vying for, was the seat of john c. calhoun, it was the seat of strorm thank you very muchond, and south carolina on november 3 has the opportunity of writing a whole brand-new history for the south, which we can become the very first state to have two african american senators serving at the very same time. i think that is the new south that we want to see, that we want to hear, that we want to be a part of. >> stephen: a model for the nation. south carolina has a chance to do it. jaime harrison, thank you so much for being here. good luck on tuesday. nice to see you again, my friend. >> it's good seeing you, too. >> we'll be right back with elvis costello. thanks, jaime. i always loved you sven-jannin, i never said it but... (dramatic crying) whoa! did sven-
