you see patterson, new jersey. and we could give you many other locations. what has happened is, that is part of a big negotiation. people, it money to wasn't their fault, it was china's fault. post office is part of it. another part of it is they want $3.5 billion just for the ballots. that is what the democrats want. but if the bill isn't going to get done, that would mean the post offices are going to get funded and the $3.5 billion isn't going to be taken care of, so i don't know how you could possibly use these ballots. absentee ballots, by the way, are fine, but the universal male ends that are sent all over the place, where people can grab stacks of them and sign them, that is the thing we are against. >> isn't that the problem, that you are saying you do not want to give the post office funding in this coronavirus legislation, they say they needed so if the pandemic is still going on in november and people don't feel safe to vote in person, they can vote by mail and it can be safe and secure? pres. trump: i can understand the post office and if we ca

you look at patterson, new jersey, it's all messed up. almost every one of these -- and these are small, easy to control -- they should be able to do this easy. now you're talking about, like, nevada, where last two nights ago they went out and -- in the darkness of night, without people, without having any meetings of the public, without having anything, they approved the ridiculous -- you don't have to look at signatures, you don't have to approve anything. you can have double mailings. you can have all sorts of things. nobody's ever seen anything like it. it's a disgrace. i mean, honestly, it's a disgrace. so it's a very good question. i mean, the mail-in ballots, if you look at just some of the small places, the small races, congressional race in new york, should be very easy. normally that would have been announced at 7:00 and it would have been down to the wire and everybody would have loved it. if it was at all complex it would have taken an extra hour, they would have announced it a little bit later. they have no clue. this was ab

in patterson 20% of the vote is tainted. 20%. brian: a whole bunch of ballots on the post office floor. president trump: but it's a terrible thing that's going on and they are going to get us into a mess and we'll be a laugh ing stock all over the world. you won't know who did this two years from now you're not going to know. steve: mr. president you were citing some statistics there, brian had a poll a moment ago. going back to the poll business with the cnn poll that shows now you're within four of joe biden, it could be an outlier and then there was another poll that we were talking about last week, where more people believe that their neighbor is going to vote for donald trump than will vote for joe biden. then there's always the suggestion that there are all of these hidden or secret trump voters out there, and i know they certainly went to the polls four years ago. do you have any idea how many there are? is it 2%? is it 4%? is it 8%? when you're doing the calculation in your head, you say to yourself, well the hidden trump

patterson, new jersey. we can give you many other locations. what has happened is that as negotiation to get more money to people it was not there for. -- it was not their fault. it was china's fault. they want 3.5 billion dollars just for the ballots themselves. why so much? i don't know. if the bill is not going to get done, the post office will be funded and the $3.5 billion will be taken care of. i don't know how you could possibly use these mail-in ballots. absentee ballots are fine. the universal male and's -- mail-in's all over the place, that is the we are against. >> isn't that the problem? you don't want to give this post office funding in the legislation. they say they need it to be prepared so if the pandemic is still going on people don't feel safe to go vote in person, they can vote by mail and it can be safe and secure. president trump: i understand the post office. if we can agree to the overall bill, obviously a much bigger number than just the post office, that would be fine. they have the post office as one of their requests.

nbc's steve patterson is at good samaritan hospital in los angeles. nurses there, nurses around the country are holding what they're calling a national day of action, steve. what are the nurses there telling you? >> reporter: well, the biggest thing i've heard today that really surprised me is that months into this crisis, a lot of them simply don't feel safe walking into hospitals like the one that's behind me. specifically, i just spoke to a nurse who said she's been wearing the same n95 mask for so long that the elastic band around the mask has deteriorated and she feels unsafe about the virus. there's been a number of cases in hospitals around this region where there's been an outbreak among the nurses themselves. they feel like they're not properly staffed, not properly equipped and the hospital health systems that manage these places aren't listening to the needs that they have. to talk about that, another nurse, you see the group gathered behind me. one of the nurses is alejandra gonzalez citron, the chief nurse of the california hospital syste

. >> look at the catastrophe in new jersey but new jersey had more than just patterson. >> new jerseyernor is trying to debunk that claim. >> the patterson experience was a local election in may before the primary and i'd view that differently. ip that is a positive data point. some guys try to screw around with a system and they got caught by law enforcement and have been indicted. they will pay a price. >> this week the president said he's willing to make it harder to both by mail. he's letting the postal service run into major funding problems and house speaker nancy pelosi is considering cutting august recess sure to fund the usps. >> i guess he thinks that a suppressed vote, lower voter turnout, will work for him and that will help him win the election. >> the trump campaign says that is not the point. >> we believe in absentee voting and in early voting but we do not believe in blanketing a city or state with everything a person who is listed on the voter rolls because we know that the voter rolls are not accurate. >> when joe biden accepted the vice president nomination back in

new jersey had more than just patterson.ook at what is going on in virginia, look at what is happening with mail-in voting. it is a disgrace. absentee is good. mail-in universal is very bad. there is no way they will get it accurately, they are off by 20% and 30%. this is beyond the post office. that being said, they want money for the universal mail-in ballots. and they are not getting it. you know why, because of them. we want money to go to people. they want money in order to bailout states that have done poorly. the states that have done poorly, these are run by democrats, usually radical left democrats. you take a look at what is happening in portland. and we will go into portland -- we have to be asked -- we will straighten it out in one hour like what happened in minneapolis. we will straighten it out in one hour, we will straighten it out so fast, but they need to ask us. they need money but they are not willing to approve the money they need. if they can't get the money they need for universal mail-in voting, i don'
