was that north carolina? is your regulars were neither formally sanctioned by the confederate government nor brought into the formal command structure. so what that meant was they did what they wanted and as a result, these men simply formed a guerrilla bands operating outside official military command and control. and they were guerrilla companies that happened to be confederate in loyalty. in effect, these bands created a problem for the richmond government. these became uncontrollable in no man's land region of the coast. the region back and forth between the confederate regular and the union regular army. during the war not responding command and control by the confederate military or the confederate government, preferring to wage their own private against local citizens. this is where the civil war really became uncivil. it was very personal. it was highly localized. it was neighbor against neighbor. it was you knew. it's as local you could get. and perhaps the most difficult irregular war to isolate for

[cheers] thank you. i've got an easy question and i already know the answer but i meant to ask y'all anywhere. who here, like me, loves north carolina?

[cheers] and we are home to the best people. as we celebrate tonight, our hearts are with the folks of western north carolina who are still struggling. hurricane helene swept in devastation, destruction and darkness, but the goodness of north carolinians shon

state of north carolina. republican candidate lost the lieutenant governor's race in north carolina. the republican candidate lost the attorney general's race in north carolina. the republican candidate lost the secretary of state's race in north carolina. also, the republican candidate to be state schools chief, a ray i was keeping my eye on, republican candidate lost that race in north carolina, too. the reason i was watching that one closely because a was the race where the republican candidate for schools chief said she wanted a pay-per-view public televised execution of former president barack obama. she also demanded the execution of president biden, hillary clinton, chuck schumer, anthony fauci, a former new york governor, the current north carolina governor, and member of congress from minnesota, also she wanted to execute bill gates. i mean, honestly, it was a lot from her. but she was the republican party's nominee for superintendent of public schools for the state of north carolina this year. and s

north carolina, 1400 landslides. municipalities like asheville like i said earlier may not have drinkable water. this is ae major urban center in north western north carolina, may not have drinkable water for tens of thousands of people before the end of august and that includes businesses that are struggling right now, think restaurants. struck during the peak of western north carolina season, the majority of our revenue occurs in western north carolina, starting on october, ending in november. we've lost that. they're gone. a lot of these people lost loved one who is are businesses now they're just trying to keep their business afloat while they're going to funerals and we tell them, we have to wait for congress before we can send you a check because for the first time in this body we are going to- cause, flanked a pay for disaster recovery down where the pages are setting a few months ago brian came to me, the senator from hawaii and he said, tom, i hope you'll support me on the supplemental for the fires of maui,

started a couple of days earlier when a weather system came into western north carolina and dumped inches and inchess of ran on more thanha a dozen major rir basins and saturated land. now we have hurricane helene coming in through the florida panhandle through georgia and carolina and into north carolina maintain the integrity of a category 1 storm tropical storm a couple hundred miles inland. the first of its kind storm that is the most deadly in north carolina history and folks we've been hit by a long list over 106 people dead and some are still missing. wess have families that are disconnected and will likely not even have electricity. there's a community asheville is without drinkable water today. businesses are suffering. the small business administration is the money. they are telling people who have a process so your claim claim has been approved and as soon as the federal government replenishes the small business administration's account than they will get the money. think about that. if you are one of thousands of people in western north carolina and a landmass the size of the

i do want to win north carolina by 20,000 votes i want to win north carolina by 200,000 votes and i'dgetting there. [applause] i want to make as few requests before we get started and talk about why we will make donald trump the next president. let's talk about the how. there's a web site swamp the vote usa.com -- they built that web site to show user polling locations we can check where you can go and vote and check how to get involved in the last few days. you've got to get out there make it happen. number one go to swamp the vote usa.com and number two i'm going to ask every single person here over the next few days or excuse me the next few minutes to take out your phones and take a photo but we are doing here and posted on social media or social media or send it by text or e-mail whatever your medication is. we no, harris and their allies in the corporate media will never tell the truth about this campaign and they'll never tell the truth about donald trump and you know who can't tell the truth? weekend so take out your phones and take a photo and tell people why you are voting f

on november, the 5th i would say sir, i'll just go to kingston, north carolina, north carolina. there is one of 2 swing states recently back to it by heart and then whether that might affect how if both has cost the balance remains to be seen . but that evo thing has already proved popular in many affected areas. has laura call now on why north carolina not is going into election day both comma harris. i'm donald trump, a many neck and neck and a 7 swing states. north carolina is one of them. it has 16, electro bates, one from 4 years ago. like many southern states and purchased the democrats for a century before swinging to the republicans. in the 19 sixty's population shifts, including a lot of people moving in from other states, have made it into a swing states and we some collections. brock obama carried north carolina not really in 2008, but lost it in 2012. since then. it has remained placed with republicans generally having a small advantage. north carolina was the only one and this is swing states, one by donald trump in 2020. but just by around 1.3 percent. so this time

north carolina is — north carolina today? north carolina is a _ north carolina today?ate — carolina is a key battleground state as — carolina is a key battleground state as well. in pennsylvania, 19 electoral college votes are up 19 electoral college votes are up for— 19 electoral college votes are up for grabs. 16 electoral college _ up for grabs. 16 electoral college votes are available in north— college votes are available in north carolina liner. it is very— north carolina liner. it is very significant in this sunbelt place. a place like this, — sunbelt place. a place like this, north carolina, while they— this, north carolina, while they might hope to make up the total. _ they might hope to make up the total. we — they might hope to make up the total, we had a symbolic moment yesterday— total, we had a symbolic moment yesterday when both total, we had a symbolic mome

in north carolina. is team a consent? this is essentially donald trump supply. well, no, you've heard of cumberland harnesses, blue bowl state. this is the equivalent for donald trump. you one year 2016 and in 2020. if you can't win north carolina, the chances of winning the white house go don't quite dramatically. and so his team are spending a lot of time money and energy in the state. they will also be killed by a poll that came out late on saturday from iowa. iowa isn't a swing state. this was a pull from a company that has be fairly accurate in the past, and they suggest a couple of hers is up 3 points in that state. a state that has been solid little public, it would come to how does getting votes among women voters and particular older women voters. and if that's the case, if donald trump is losing states that was considered dead set republicans, then his campaign is having problems. now he's going to spend the last 24 hours shooting this wing speaks again. he'll think that this message will reso

north carolina families . william bagley served as a major in the confederate army and appointed by andrew johnson after the war to be the superintendent of the us mint in charlotte but bagley refused the post because of the required loyalty. a lot of southern men refused to give this loyalty oath so that's why they wereexcluded from positions but he did later served as clerk of the north carolina supreme court . bagley's mother was the daughter of jonathan worth who had been in the gen. assembly for a long time before the civil war and he was the first elected governor of north carolina after the war and of course defeated william holt in that election. bagley's brother became the co-owner and editor of the raleigh morning post newspaper may 10 bagley's brother became the co-owner and editor of the raleigh ma morning post newspaper may 10, 1898, turns out that's the day the war bagley was killed. his brother was a newspaperman and you think that's going to play a role in how he's remembered? furthermore his b

north carolina, right? a lumbee who can vaguely passes, wants to join the confederacy, can maybe go to their local and maybe just go one county over where nobody knows them and join up there in, south carolina and the lumbee nation does cross the state border in south carolina. the lumbee are seen as native people in general are seen as white enough because they're very clearly not black, that there for confederate enlistment without any question. so again, finding people in the historical can be tough unless, you know who you're looking for, which is why you know, broadly speaking, civil war historians even really thought about this. additional context that i think is important for. us under north carolina's 1835 constitution native, americans who remained right had to forfeit a lot of their tribal land and tribal identity so that the cherokee who remained in north carolina still absutely could consider themselves cherokee. but they couldn't hold land as cherokee nation. d in fact, they were prohibited fro

a lot easier for trump peak and also gets to 17 without north carolina. but doing so will be very, very hard. like so many of the swing states, north carolina is a story of a few large and heavily democratic cities. balance against the hensler that has both rural and republican democratic votes as a mainly concentrated in the state, capital raleigh, on the neighboring cities of queens bar. and high points, and then down here in charlotte, the state's largest city is also a small, but significant concentration out here in the west of the state, around ashville. pretty much everywhere else, is republican read. no, every election has a so called october, surprise. this time it's hard, compelling, devastating stone that costs more than 200 people to be killed, catastrophic damage across the southeast and united states. and this includes georgia, north carolina, a bees of the community blasted by heart can lead, and this is a month of a 2020 results look at these areas in the west here. mostly world, mostly white, heavily republican bees, a trump strongholds,

supporters in north carolina. crowd the only reason the stock market is doing well is because wall street thinks he's going to win. vice president harris took the stage in atlanta a short time ago. she told the crowd donald trump is obsessed with revenge and a out for unchecked power. president joe biden is also e speaking to union workers in scranton, pennsylvania. he spoke about the millions of job created during his term. vice president running mate e j.d. vance was at a rally. he jokingly asked the crowd to vote 10 times for donald trump. we will hear from steve cornett key. he will tell us what time polls will close tuesday night and what he will be looking for. >>> also, the remarkable new development about gen z voters and the access hollywood video from 2016. >>> a very good day to all of you from msnbc headquarters in new york. we begin this hour with decision 2024 and the race for the white house. we are county down with just three days left until election day. candidates crisscrossing battleground state

>> dasha burns in greensboro, north carolina, thank you. i want to bring in kristen welker, moderator of "meet the press." thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> you can tell a lot about what the campaign is thinking by where they go in these final days. >> you're absolutely right. both candidates are spending some time today in the sunbelt. but in the closing hours of this race, they are going to be in the blue wall states which really could determine who wins the white house. notably former president trump in traditionally blue virginia today. his attempt to show strength in these closing hours of the race. both candidates will make multiple stops in the critical battleground of pennsylvania on the final day, jose. it is a sign that the keystone state could determine who wins this race. it is the state that has the biggest number of electoral votes. >> and both campaigns have seized on controversial comments from the other side. could they make a difference? >> it's a great question. in a race this close, anything could have an imp

and that includes georgia and north carolina. a bees of the community by said by hurricane her lead. and this is the month of the 2020 results. look at these areas in the west. here mostly will mostly white, heavily republican bees, a trump strongholds, except the little pockets of blue. but i mentioned a moment to go around the democratic stronghold of ashville. again, by the affected by the hurricane now is unclear how hard can lean is going to swing these elections. but it may affect the pace of the accounting process. how the federal government, that's by and i'm paris at the white house on the state government to respond to this disaster. and how that perceive to respond could be a key factor for the states votes, as, as they had to the pulse. to north carolina also has a huge evangelical christian population, which has typically voted for republican candidates. donald trump, but just 2 days to go until the election that are signs of a splits within the face. and that could be good news for capital harris from winston salem

he's in kingston, north carolina, north carolina for the 3rd time and 4 days. alan, why is that so implicitly to trump? that's right, let me explain why north carolina is important. it is regarded as a swing state. and if you look to the polls over the last couple of months, it was very tight here. and then about a week ago, it seemed that donald trump was just pooling ahead. but that seems to have changed in the last couple of days. and that has given the holidays campaign, the hope that they could possibly flip the snow. it's had the lot about the so called blue wall. those are states that are traditionally democratic, leading to come on how this needs to when the white house. so you're talking about pennsylvania, you're talking about wisconsin and you're talking about michigan. well, north carolina is that for the republicans, donald trump needs to win here. you want to 2016. any one in 2020. but the fact that for them is less than 10 events are going to be here, or have been held here in north carolina, tells us that they are not const, absolutely certain that this is a done deal. that th

i love you north carolina!n traverse city michigan tonight. this one and particular you should exercise your right to vote. you see how this country is truly going in the wrong direction you should go out and vote and don't base it on personality. base it on policy. how will affect your life. think it's important to vote because some don't have the right to vote and here you can make a change. it's important to decide what kind of country you want to be in. >> i'm voting this year because i care about my rights and my rights as a and i'm in the military so i care about how i'm being deployed in war and going and the reason why. i think that's a big reason to fight.

now, he was born on april six, 1874, in raleigh, raleigh, north carolina. to william. bagley in adelaide and worth bagley's the north were two very prominent north carolina families. now william bagley had served as a major in the confederate army and was appointed by andrew after the war as to be the superintendent of the u.s. mint in charlotte. however, bagley refused the post because the required loyalty oath a lot of southern men refused to give this loyalty oath. and that's why they were excluded from government positions. war, however, he did later serve as the clerk of the north supreme court. now bagley's mother was the daughter of jonathan werth, who was the state treasurer. he had been in the general assembly for a long time before the civil war and he was the first elected governor of north carolina after the war, of course, defeated william holden in that election. now, bagley's brother, william bagley jr became the co-owner and the editor of the raleigh morning post on may 10th, 1898. turns out that's the day before bagley was killed. so his brother is a ne

north carolina is one of them. it has 16, electro bates, one from 4 years ago, like many southern states and voted for democrats for a century before swinging to the republicans. in the 19 sixty's population shifts, including a lots of people moving in from other states, have made it into a swing states in recent elections. brack obama carried north carolina not really in 2008, but lost it in 2012. since then. it has remained placed with republicans generally having a small advantage. north carolina was the only one to visit his swing states, one by donald trump in 2020. but just by around 1.3 percent. so this time north carolina is very much at play as a crucial swing state. it's tamela harris doesn't need to win north carolina, but any scenario which she does makes her pause to 270 electoral votes on the white house a lot easier. for trump, he can also gets to 70 without north carolina, but doing so will be very, very hard. like so many of the swing states, north carolina is a story of a few large and heavily dem

north carolina is going to be very, very close. the last couple days driving through the rural parts of the central part of the state, and there were a lot more harris-walz signs up that i remember from the last couple of election cycles. north carolina is a true swing state, a true purple state. i do not believe georgia is. georgia is a republican state. the republican governor won by 10 or 12 points the last time he ran. i sort of get that feeling harris is doing better there than republicans might think in north carolina. christian: you have to go back to 2008 to find a democrat that had won it in a presidential election, and far farther back, to the 1980's, wouldn't you, to find another democrat who had won? mick: that is the top of the ticket. you are absolutely right as far as president, but north carolina has had a democrat governor now for the last eight years. they expect to elect a new democrat governor this time. democrat statewide officers do well. yes, the republican party has done well at the top of the ticket, yes th

strike my home state and i've seen a lot of natural disasters in north carolina. last count more than 100 people just in our state have been killed. hundreds more were injured. some are still missing. thousands of north carolinians lost their homes, the loss of businesses and for small mountain communities in western north carolina this horrific deal began friday morning of september 27. when the storm hit and already rainsoaked area situation escalated into life and death within moments. in the small town of what's now famous in batcave north carolina population 180 the towns of fire chief steve freedman was home with his wife. in advance of the storm steve parked his first car in 1967 mustang, put it up on higher ground on the ridge above the family shed around 8:45 a.m. he and his wife heard their house shake. he ran to the back of the house he looked out the window and found that the car had already been swept downhill into the shed. seconds later he watched a ford pickup get flipped upside down by the torrential flooding. then he heard more rumbling noises fol

in north carolina and across that have been hard-hit just like in north carolina. fema dollars, it is not charity. it's what we have our taxes. thousands of virginians ask for that. we can't get the money. the unanimous consent and this bipartisan legislation. get those businesses the funds they deserve. 233 people dead. 102 in north carolina. seven unaccounted for. total damage estimated between 30 -- 48 billing dollars across seven states. north carolina 1400 landslides. 6000 miles of road damage. 1 million in businesses. like you said earlier this is major in western north carolina. they may not have water for tens of thousands of people before the end of august including businesses struggling right now. the majority of revenue occurs in western north carolina. we lost that, they are gone. a lot of these people lost loved ones who are businesses. the demand for saying work for disaster recovery the pages are sitting a few months ago he said i hope you will support me on the supplemental. count me in because i have no doubt in cap me and for every supplemental be

i go from north carolina to virginia and then back to north carolina. does that make sense? and applause] so now i am no longer upset, because nobody can expect them as crazy as we all are, nobody can expect them to go to two rallies in one day. i think their husbands would leave them for that. that would be the end of it, mr. senator. you are a great senator. the ladies from north carolina. look at them. [cheers and applause] thank you. we are proud of you. i did we say it, because we have done this now for nine years. we have had the biggest rallies in history of any country, and every rally is full. you do not have any seats that are empty. you did not have anything. the one that we had today, you missed a beauty. we could have filled the place of 20 times. that was beautiful. the virginia rally. it did you hear about the virginia rally? glenn youngkin did a great job, the governor of virginia, and they had a crowd that was incredible, and we came here, and we do not want to be late, but it is hard when you do these things. you don't mind a little bit. we were not very la

so us, let's go to phil laval in north carolina. so tell us why north carolina is so crucial for donald trump. what's all about the changing picture of the race say, you know, at the start of the year, uh, there was a, uh, a lot more confidence from the trump campaign that it would with north carolina. north carolina is a state that has consistently voted for a republican president, apart from blanca, bama, and 2008. and jimmy costs are going back to 1976. but the democrats had noticed that donald trump's margin of victory had shrunk, so they were feeling hopeful already when joe biden was leaving, but they weren't sure. but what we've seen since kind of the iris came to the picture is that those houses are very tight to the now it's pretty much neck and neck as we go into the final hours of this race. i'm not as whites both sides already putting everything into it. that's why i was saying donald trump here so much. she was here a website who was here on saturday. he was here on sunday and he is here today just trying to see what's

the polling for the north carolina-- north carolina elects democrats at a statewide level on a regularling for lieutenant governor, running for governor, has collapsed. and it does look like the democratic gubernatorial candidate, attorney general josh stein is said to do very well and possibly win. he is pulling better than kamala harris there. donald trump has entirely dispensed himself from the gubernatorial edited in north carolina. >> reporter: that is exactly right. he has kept him fully at arms length. kept here tonight, mark robinson is not on the speakers list. he will not be there. he has not been at any of his north carolina rallies. you can see the trumpet supporters lining up behind me here. this also though, ali, is an early voting site, and today is the last day to vote early here in north carolina. you mentioned that the state is breaking records when it comes to early voting. republicans are slightly outpacing democrat when it comes to the early vote, something the trump campaign has been pointing to as a good sign for them, although we will not know until election day

adding north carolina get there and georgia he gets there.to take you back to one thing, wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania, the blue wall but georgia and arizona additionally swing states have swung together and they all went red. in 2020 they went blue. north carolina, georgia and arizona and the sun felt if you can get that, all he needs to do is take off one of the blue wall and that's what we are looking for. will the blue wall fracture? go back to 1988 and dukakis one wisconsin when the blue wall didn't hold with the one exception in 2016 when trump carried all three of those. let me go back to the map and look at states. give me a state you're watching. >> i'm watching georgia because it is a newer swing state, more republican reliable but trump has lots of unfinished business. brian kemp is popular republican government, to democratic senators and georgia passing in all of the border integrity legislation and massive 55% early voter turnout so biden last time, trump -- >> .2%. literally a type 10000 vote and then 20 fig 16 you can s

speaker, as we celebrate american education week in eastern north carolina, we're so excited to break ground today for the east carolina university center for medical education building. indeed, education is a pathway to personal success in building a stronger economy. we must continue to support and uplift education in america. thank you, mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from arizona seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. mrs. lesko: thank you, madam speaker. i rise to recognize the person who help misworld go around, my deputy chief of staff brendan gallo. brendan is a dedicated staffer who works tirelessly to ensure our office runs smoothly each and every day. he is committed to serving me and the constituents of arizona's eighth congressional district. whether it's a meeting in our office, a capitol tour or a visit to the white house, brendan is the guy you call to get the job done. a graduate

but north carolina could flip blue. obviously that is a big metaphorical help for a couple of hours to go up. but we'll see about increased confidence on we seeing that type of thing, but also mention the pop ups that we're seeing as well. you know, that appearance on saturday night live con. overstate just how big that was. as i know, as it's cold, here is a, an institution in the united states. what that would have done is to things able to reach to people who perhaps watching tv, and they would have gone out of the way to avoid watching a couple of hours interview. i've only been caught by surprise and they may have what had message out in front of others. also, believe it or not, there are a lot of people in this country who are still a bit there about the election. they haven't decided they are not even paying attention the pay attention like your aisle and those people, those undecided voters, will perhaps have been reached just by this one of periods. the other thing is the pod costs you may remember coming on, h

and that includes georgia and north carolina. of these, of the community busted by hurricane lead, and this is a month of a 2020 results look at these areas in the west here. mostly will mostly white, heavily republican bees, a trump strongholds, except the little pockets of blue that i mentioned a moment to go around the democratic stronghold of ashville. again, by the affected by the hurricane. now is unclear how her complaint is going to swing these elections. but it may affect the pace of accounting process, how the federal government, that's by and i'm paris at the white house on the state government to respond to this disaster. and how that perceive to respond could be a key factor for the states votes as, as they had to the pose, as well as golf. at least the electoral college votes of all the swing states with a 6 foot ground button, nevada could still prove crucial for the candidates. the democrats have taken the states since 2008 spots by small margins. this time policy just a couple of hours. i'm donald trump, are in a

so we're gonna start with north carolina at north carolina. i am just told has been on hold on before i say this, i need to confirm pre own go. we confirming this north carolina has been called donald trump, the former president of the united states is projected to carry the state of north carolina. this has just happened literally 2 seconds ago. 16 electrical votes. okay, we are in the south and the united states, 16 electoral votes going to donald trump. here is the vote difference. $5148.00 with 89 percent of the vote reporting. but we now have, again, remember the blue tex, so this is the 1st of the battleground space to be counted. and this is the boat difference, a $136617.00. so donald trump, this is the 1st of the, this is the only i beg your pardon, this is the only of the battleground states that he had one last time he is winning it. and as far as i can tell, he is winning it more decisively in 2024, then he had in 2020. so this is the 1st time in the evening where the campaign managers are going to their bosses and they are able to

has to win north carolina. he won in 2016 and 2020. he appointed the gop chairman in north carolina, michael watley for the reason he said that michael watley stopped the steel in this state. there is a lot of at stake. virginia at this is all for donald trump. heard of the vision in which he believes he will be able to expand the map and build a broad coalition that will not always as cannot only sweep the battleground states but expand the electoral college map for him. i will let you listen. his speeches have been unwieldy and personal attacks but a harrowing picture of what america would look like in administration run by kamala harris including on the economy. >> how good was that? to get those numbers four days before the vote. thank you. thank you, sir. you would have liked that. to get those numbers -- we had the worst numbers maybe sort of ever . i stand before you today as the only candidate who can rescue our economy. >> reporter: four years ago he also foreshadowed a massive loss of jobs as well as

in north carolina. of able to pull it off.k to 2020, i can show you, what i'm seeing there, all right. yep. you can see, these states, they change, a real part of the national conversation, where people move and people choose to live and work and go to school. like tag on to that. >> north carolina, you look at the counties, you are following, raleigh, there is just such a population shift, more than a million people have shifted there it is a different crowd that is why maybe, you have a different electorate in north carolina. >> i look at wade county, on the board there. guilford too, greensboro, a lot of folks campaigning there kamala harris was there donald trump was there, young folks go to school there and find a job. we'll see about m m they are able to win county, but not by big enough of a margin. to capture the state. >> karl perked up when you said bush-keri, kerry. >> you are right, a black turn out there is below any other place i have seen in the south. major county. you know 5 major counties. around atlanta, wak

early in north carolina, go to salem, virginia and back to north carolina but let's not forget that virginia, especially salem, is half an hour from blacksburg, west virginia a state with a super active senate race in which donald trump has endorsed a candidate but that's an area where he expects to do well and in these moments, sometimes what they're looking for is a lot of media attention, which we're talking about it, so he's going to get that, but also being in close proximity to a state that supports him as well as one that he's trying to campaign heavily that battleground of north carolina, that gives donald trump the ability of the appearance of a really big rally thats what he's trying to do, show an appearance. >> he's bookending this we trips to north carolina. he has four events in north carolina in three days. looking ahead, reese, harris has her event this georgia today. early voting ended last night. more than 4 million people have cast their ballots, in-person early or absentee. what's the message from inside the harris campaign? >> they're confident about georgia and if she d

but let's talk about north carolina. in 2020 north carolina was where trump had his closest margin of victory and the only swing state he managed to win. it tends to lean republican, after all north carolina has only voted for the democratic residential nominee twice in the last 50 years. although during that same period of time, numerous democrats have succeeded in winning statewide elections including very recently. trump and his running mate j.d. vance have been spending a good chunk of time in the state recently. they are both making appearances there today. and that could be a sign that internally their campaigns are seeing some signs of weakness and the possibility that north carolina could actually be in play for democrats, at the presidential level this year. fortunately for us, we have exactly the perfect guest to talk about what is happening in north carolina right now. joining me is a democratic governor of north carolina, roy cooper. governor, good to see you. my boss said you got roy cooper so wear a tie bec
