tremendous amount of migration into the state of maine into york county and cumberland county, 40,000 new democratic voters left places like new york cityand came to maine. and that has further entrenched the far left, left wing politics and our legislators, lori on or abouter in particular, the sponsors of the transgender trafficking bill they rock whaty do and says that's a good idea we should be doing that here. if it seems like maine is becoming more like oregon or california there is intention to bring it here mandates for electric vehicles, the decriminalization of all drugs or the transgender policies which the trafficking bill is just one of many measures that have been taken by the current legislator and governor to open up the door sex change drugs and surgeries for kids. right now a 16 and 17-year-old can go get sex change drugs or surgeries paid for by medicaid by the taxpayers even if their parent object to those procedures. >> okay. that is -- it takes your breath away. you almost don't believe this is the united states of america. but i want to remind everybody that the loosening of drug laws, okay, has been a disaster wh

everywhere you have these highly partisan charges against donald trump, whether it's fulton county or new york cityless places. this adds a whole veneer of grossness to it that i think helps him in his political argument that these are partisan charges. >> harris: let's talk about this case for a bit. legally i've been reading they cannot remove her from the role while this is going on. she has said she will not step away. so then they would need to put -- by the way, nathan wade, her alleged lover, worked as a municipal court judge mainly in traffic law and family law. and fox research found that he had never been involved litigating a felony. but he is in charge of the election interference case of donald trump. >> they have put so much effort into this case. >> harris: and money. >> and money as we saw with the receipts. and then meanwhile it's not like atlanta is the safest place to walk around at night. it is not like there aren't other crimes going on in atlanta. but this is their focus. again, you know, it goes back to the political argument that donald trump makes which is this is all parti

but we don't want is d.a.s in new york city and fulton county and atlanta harassing president trump withse, i think i'm a very weak and made up charges and trying to alter the national election. >> trace: one of the bottom things we've found out in this voter analysis is that o one in for don't believe he did anything illegal. that 75% of republicans who think he's fine. >> maybe those voters been reading the indictments pretty closely. take, for example, the jackson of prosecution. there are more important things to worry about. let the lawyers like us worry about it. but he look at is indictments, jack smith hasn't charged trump with insurrection. at the prosecutors in the justice department believe what president biden is saying on the campaign trail that donald trump is an insurrectionist, that everybody connected with januarw the government, then charge them with it. don't make up stuff like, they defrauded the united states are interfered with processes to try to stop everybody from voting. those are so weak. charge them with insurrection and they won't do it. >> trace: i've got to

the lighter gray counties, the lighter gray around des moines and ames, around sioux city, cedar falls, these are not big cities like new york, not big cities like philadelphia, but those are your urban areas. a lot of new people in the suburbs. that's the key. if we're going to see nikki haley pull off any kind of a surprise, it will be there. if desantis is a surprise, it's because he competes like trump did for rural evangelicals. >> we know people are allowed to register throughout the day if they want to veg center republican to vote here. so obviously trump sounding confident. but as basel is pointing out, he is worried that with the lead coming out in the poll, people are a little lackadaisical, they don't actually show up tomorrow. is that a reasonable concern when you look at the enthusiasm of his voters? >> well, his people and enthusiasm, his voter far more enthusiastic than anybody else's. however, talking to trump campaign people, their support tilts more rural. that's a longer drive to your polling place. it tilts older. do you want to get in your car and risk something happening to you if you're older, driving

county. there was one other one in 1863 in newburgh, new york, very similar circumstances. of course, 1863 is the draft riots in new york city. this precipitated it. but i think it was sort of a a microcosm of the bigger problem that the draft riots were later going to become. so port jervis has the distinction of the only lynching post 1865 post-civil war. so the people involved three people, and this is where it gets a little confusing because we have lena mcmann at the top. lena mcmann is our victim of the sexual assault. and we'll talk a little bit about the you know, we have robert lewis. he's the man who is lynched for his alleged transgression against lena mcmann. and then we have p.j. foley, who is one of lena's suitors, if you will, a spurned lover who is accused of instigating the sexual assault. so let's talk first of all, robert lewis. first of all, early on in my research, i realized that's not even his name, robert lewis wasn't his name. the man's men remembered by an alias for a hundred and something years, 30 years at this time. his real name was robert murray. he was born around 1863, on the outskirts of por
