pennsylvania, that is going to be the election.ay charlie was mad, but you guys are out here i guess this is arizona time. here's the best part about doing what we did on the ground. people asked how we had such great analysis on election night . because we were living and breathing the data at the door. every door that you knock on you're capturing data, and i know the thousands of people in this room, so many of you helped out chasing ballots in the swing states throughout the country . every door you're knocking on, you're hitting a piece of data . so the pundits and the mainstream media they're watching what the secretary of state puts out, not us we've got all the data to know where the total should be, how does it extrapolate out over the counties to see what we can project. we wanted to call it, charlie wouldn't let me, but we wanted to call it about 90 minutes before fox and the others came out. but i wanted to explain the situation. i'm sitting in our little headquarters in harrisburg, i have a desk, a little tripod and th

walked down pennsylvania avenue. the spirit of an everyman, an american who didn't need the motorcade to get to and from where he was going. it's just a powerful picture with rosalynn and his daughter amy carter waving to the thousands of people gathered around pennsylvania avenue. as one of his former advisors once told me, never forget jimmy carter was a naval officer. he took pride in the country and the military even though he strove for peace throughout his life, including during his presidency. they always thought back to the spirit of '77 that walked down pennsylvania avenue. in fact jerry, who is still with us, 90 years old, still going strong. he told me in 1978 he wrote a memo to carter saying that spirit of that walked down pennsylvania avenue, carter, his smile, the famous grin was so wide. the promise of the presidency lay before him who they tried to get back to that in 1978, 1979, 19 not 80. wasn't always easy. but this outside and was happy to be there, someone from a different part of the country, no

i was in that lane, kind of in a traditional pennsylvania way, where people in both parties said no new laws will make a difference, and then newtown, connecticut, sandy hook elementary school, that horrific tragedy unfolded in december of 2012. and because of that tragedy and because of what that tragedy forced me to confront and forced me to ask questions. my wife and daughters were asking me a lot of questions about how i would vote, i decided to vote for a series, since that time, these last 12 years, a series of common sense gun measures. if that tragedy had not occurred, i'm not sure if i would have had that moment of introspection and reflection, and then ultimately a change in how i voted. i'm glad i did. we have to take steps to reduce gun violence. >> any frustrations or disappointments that you've had over the years serving in the senate? >> oh, lots of those. >> yeah? >> too many to itemize, whenever you lose, whenever you get close on passing something, and you fall short, that's frustrating. whenever your side is engaged in a broader debate, whether it's on health care or

you can see the procession is starting to form on pennsylvania avenue.-- just on his early life and why they have chosen the national navy memorial. he started in the navy in 1948, training for submarine duty. later in his life, he started work on the fledgling nuclear program within the u.s. submarines. >> absolutely. at his wife's funeral last year, their daughter read a letter saying how much he missed her. he came back from the navy afterward to return to the agro business. he became famous campaigning as the peanut farmer. we have seen some memorials have jars of peanuts in his honor. but it was a business, his family was successful in plains, georgia. he became known for that and build himself into politics, became governor of georgia. and then president. >> i don't think people have been to the naval memorial. pretty spectacular. you have this grant surround that reforms the world in front of the memorial of the naval office. and when you look back in history, you would find the act to fund the memorial was signed by jimmy carter. it is symmetry t

and from there, it will travel down pennsylvania avenue to the us capitol, escorted by the military bodyrs. we are expecting a short service this evening at the rotunda, which president biden and the first lady will attend. —— will not be attending. it will be senior members of congress, the family and the vice president, who will deliver the eulogy. the body will lie in state for two days of public viewing. with me tonight, the former us ambassador and long—time middle east envoy gina abercrombie winstanley. in the studio here, the us presidential historian laura smith. and joining us from capitol hill, gary o'donoghue. gary, let me start with you as we watch these pictures of the motorcade making its way to washington. jimmy carter was a very humble man, did not always warm to the conventions in washington, but this was one formality he could not really a staple of this is a day that had been in the planning almost since the 1980s. had been in the planning almost since the 19805.— had been in the planning almost since the 1980s.— since the 1980s. that's right. it is something _ since t

pennsylvania is rich in natural resources and natural gas and other resources. and mr. the winner of pennsylvania. and so i'm sure that will appeal to some people. but i would ask that anybody who is thinking about that, we can do both things at the same time. we can access our natural resources while protecting our environment. after all, this is america. we could do both. so i would be very sad to see a rollback of environmental protections. i do want people to be able to move forward. i think the folks in california, we need to pull down some regulations that are simply redundant, entangling people who want to move forward, but we could do both. it is not one versus the other, drill and destroy our environment versus protect our environment and not drill. we can do both. we are america. caitriona: ok, congresswoman madeleine dean, democratic congresswoman from pennsylvania, thanks as always for being with us on bbc news. rep. dean: i want to say thank god that the hostages are beginning to come home. caitriona: and indeed, president trump mentioned that in his speech

and that's out of pennsylvania, where the pennsylvania state supreme court said that the constitution allowed something called the carrying of ballots when absentee ballots are received, they could notify voters there appeared to be a problem with their ballot and the voters could come in and correct it. and the republican party committee sued saying that wasn't permitted under state law. the supreme court interpreted it and the constitution and differently that is teed up for the supreme court of the united states. again, i think trying to push this argument that states supreme courts can only go so far in interpreting their laws and constitutions so that that will be a live issue. that sounds really familiar. i think it may have signed on to an amicus brief on on that issue. why is it we can't get the absentee ballot process regularized and in a way that there aren't always problems? so i believe in the pennsylvania case, you're talking about in philadelphia, the question was some voters, you know, voters like other people, make mistakes and didn't put their ballot in a secrecy slav

she brings a pennsylvania. like there was some kind of fraud in pennsylvania.he only fraud was a republican and put his mother and mother-in-law on the ballot. they both were dead. that was the only fraud in pennsylvania in 2020. i don't know where she comes off at this pennsylvania thing. i'm a pennsylvania resident. in pennsylvania, it was a fair election. as far as biden, his speech last night was terrific. in four years he's done more than any other president in existence. to put him down and make them sound like he's some kind of gangster. the guy coming in the office now has some reputation. i can't believe people voted for this guy. it will be voter's of remorse in the next four years. host: grant in washington, d.c. independent. caller: it is remarkable that joe biden chose to highlight tech oligarchs as a threat to democracy. if jfk had the opportunity to give a farewell address, he would have highlighted his fight for the palestinian right to return, the u.s. opposition to the israelis building nuclear weapons, and his own fight to register the israel

justin pennsylvania -- pennsylvania alone on hundred people convicted felons are free now and free to roam up to the pennsylvania area to return to our communities today because of the actions of our commander-in-chief. by very definition these are threats to our national security. this should independent our political affiliation alarm assault and even his supporters many -- president trump and i disagree on a lot of i'm sure we will express deep disappointment with one another with worry and concern over different policies. the back-and-forth between parties and how best to answer countries ability should agree to disagree. blanket pardon such as these in at the scale are simply. i have no other words to describe it. let me repeat this was political violence plain and simple and for nation's commander-in-chief to literally give the worst of these violent offenders and perpetrators of pardon is. let's be clear these pardons are a message to president trump's vilest supporters that he has their backs and violence committed in his name is protected and violence committed against a law

first, a big shout out to camp hill, pennsylvania. i used to live in carlisle, up the street. and yeah, the charge of dictatorship is a long-standing one. there was a book about franklin roosevelt called "roosevelt: democrat or dictator," back in the 1940's. when i dug into the presidential libraries for my book research, i found that there were in some administrations form letters that they had developed when people wrote in saying this is a dictatorial action you are taking and there is an explanation, not even so much of the action, but of the role of executive orders. again, executive orders are only legal when they are applying actual presidential power. when they are grounded in powers the president has. one thing that has increased their appeal, i guess, to presidents, first of course we know that congress finds it hard to act, especially in its current polarized version. but, congress has also delegated a lot of power to presidents over time. often when we see a president using an executive order to try and guide the actions of a federal agency, they are looking back t

but the broad lines pennsylvania avenue doing to be the

he was raised a quaker and then he married into the most prominent quaker family in pennsylvania. and over the years. he gravitated, increasing towards quakerism, but he never actually joined the meeting, never actually became a formal quaker. and that was because he said that every religion had aspects of it, that he didn't agree with and with quaker, as it was that he believed in the lawfulness of defensive war, as he put it. and so he was a big proponent of militias and as a citizen, militias. and so he never let that go. but so when he was younger, his his faith was still in evidence, especially in his with his mother, who was a great to him. and she was she was a quaker. and so you know we start to see his religiosity as early as you in his early twenties when was studying law in england and and we we see it in his. determination that one of the main reasons i would say the main reason he wanted to become a lawyer was so he could protect the innocent and and the injured, defend them and this was very, very much a quaker early purpose of being a lawyer and a lot of a lot of th

and you -- pennsylvania avenue but they moved inside, and this happen on friday.ng, and i understand the temperature situation but there's also a security issue to it too. and a kind of understand the reason for doing that. i know i probably wouldn't want to spend that time out in the cold. we had a president who had taken an oath and was sworn in and then died a month or so later. host: william henry harrison, 8000 plus words in his inaugural address. he took ill after that and a month after being sworn in, he was deceased. as you can see, the president's motorcade is now headed from capital one arena, which is between seventh and ninth streets, heading to 1600 pennsylvania, about a mile from where he is. so we will watch this as we take your calls. this is the presidential motorcade heading to the white house. the president started his day at blair, went to st. john's church, and then to the white house to have tea with the bidens. that is all within walking distance of each other down there, and then of course the bidens and the trumps road together to the capi

there was state funding in pennsylvania.ife democrat governors. shapiro has taken away that funding. indiana a funds real alternatives. but the question i have, and we don't have a lot of time, kevin, but i want to get to it. we fund planned parenthood as a nation to the tune of $450 million. could we put money like that towards pregnancy centers? if that could be done through hhs or whatever. talk to me about what that would look like and what that would mean to women who with, as a you said, 80% say i would have had the baby if i'd had a little bit of support. >> sure. it's not only a good idea, rachel, but we've done that. in fact, we're coming up on half a million clients served in our pennsylvania, indiana, michigan program. the texas program we helped start is over half a million. is as of today, one million if women have been served in unexpected pregnancies and have been provided life-affirming services. now, it's a mix of state block grants of federal tan of money and -- tanf money and state revenue. i'd like to see

i spoke to people in pennsylvania. i have family and friends in pennsylvania. and they told me, a lot of democrats stayed home. they did not come out to vote for kamala. that is the rp why kamala lost. they did not like the fact that they remove joe biden from the ticket the way they did. and they told me that a lot of democrats stayed home and did not vote for camlasm joe biden would have won. he is the only democrat who could beat donald trump. host: all right, they will karma. mentioned this before. this is the front page of "usa today," exclusive exit interview that president biden did, he said, when asked, he said, yes, he could have won re-election. you can read that whole article at "usa today." and this is ronald in georgia, republican line. good morning, ronald. caller: good morning. how are you doing? host: good. caller: i just want to know, the beginning of your segment this morning, right before i called, that lady that you had on, rebecca, the republican, rebecca, she said she was a teacher. but laken riley was a student. and yet they blocked every

avenue on one end of pennsylvania niavenue here i washington. you have the capital on the other. you have the white house and it is a very short trip when you have no traffic, it's really not a long trip when you do. but there is pennsylvania avenue and that is where they will head. for the inauguration for the swearing in. of the president of the united states as these 2 are about to be together. your thoughts as as trump's former chief of staff. >> yeah. the rise only about a mile and a half. it's 15, 16 blocks depending on what would they take. on and there is absolutely no traffic. you're you're correct. this is the conversation like that. i'd love to be able listen to as they walked through the door a little. >> so jd vance, kamala harris, let's turn the audio. >> vance in the presidential motorcade that. the movement of a gentleman let the vice president going first walking around and entering himself. nicolette, you finish that thought real quick. >> yeah, this is the time they're the 2 of them are going to be together. i can't remember.

insisted on national media trump won pennsylvania and they were not going to leave until pennsylvaniad that to be the case. that wasn't the case. that rhetoric has had a lot of negative consequences about people's trust in the elections to the violence on january 6. she helped trump try to avoid response ability for january 6 by resisting investigations. since she has been at the america first policy institute where she argued in a legal brief that jack smith's appointment was unconstitutional. we are worried she has tried to help trump evade accountability. she has proven herself to be a personal loyalist. we are worried she's more likely to enable abuses of power rather than preventive. host: she served as attorney general in her state. guest: it's a very different role. it is a different role under donald trump. he is expecting personal loyalty. we have concerns about her record as attorney general of florida where she fired attorneys who were investigating abusive loan practices that were defrauding people of their homes. she opposed to same-sex equality. she opposed legal equalit

i'm the senator for everyone in pennsylvania and my state picked donald trump as president. if i have the opportunity to have that conversation, and i bet we're going to find things to work together for a better pennsylvania and a better nation. and that's why i'm engaging in this. >> pennsylvania senator john fetterman, defending his decision to become the first democratic senator to meet with president elect donald trump at mar-a-lago. fetterman, joking with reporters that he'll demand that trump make him, quote, the pope of greenland. his invitation comes as fetterman has abandoned the progressive label from his party and criticized some policies on the left. fetterman recently meeting with several of trump's cabinet picks and co-sponsoring the republican led laken riley act, which cracks down on undocumented migrants who've committed crimes. trump and fetterman, though not necessarily always. let's see. let's just be straight about it. they have not always been on great terms. watch. >> john fetterman is the most dangerous democrat. i've never seen him wear a suit. a dir

i just presumed it was the history of walking pennsylvania avenue, went on before that.ou're right, as you say, it was jimmy carter to do it first trying to emphasize he was a regular person. >> yeah. a signal of openness and it was the idea of senator william proxmeyer, some might remember from isconsin, thought it would be good as a which of encouraging physical fitness and openness at the same time. >> all right. let's go to capitol hill where we find ryan nobles. president carter's casket is on its way there along with president carter's extended family who have also flown to washington to be here for the day's events. ryan, what is it like over there? >> well, first off, it is freezing cold. katy, we should point out, it is roughly 20 degrees in washington, d.c., but there's a whipping wind, wind gusts that are at times 20 to 30 miles an hour. it feels even colder. so keep that in mind as you see many of these members of the military without their ears covered. those -- that group does, but many people tending to the president's casket and guarding the caisson that'

jd vance and pennsylvania and donaldtrump and lancaster, pennsylvania.ell you when i was on that stage with donald trump i was like what is happened to my life? it's the most amazing thing and that biggestx. blessing. i talked to present at that amazing interviews and obviously that was the biggestst thing i'm on that stage on a 5000 strong and lancaster, thank you, did an incredible job thankdn you pennsylvania. and cute scotty thank you to everyone who had the courage to go to that say to do it they did. i sent on that stage with donald trump i thought oh my goodness, this is the most vulnerable i've ever been in my life this is a couple months after beutler, pennsylvania the secret service everywhere and i go wow, this is scary. but then i looked to my two seats to the rightng was sitting there? you talk about fear. they tried to kill him more than once. they try to imprison him. every single time what did he do? he stood taller. he stood stronger. he's human. is there fear and there what happened on beutler would happen isis on property in florida? i

i'm not just the senator for democrats in pennsylvania. i'm the senator for everyone in pennsylvania, and my state picked donald trump as president and if i have the opportunity to have that conversation and i think we're going to find things to work together for a better pennsylvania and a better nation, and that's why i'm engaging in this. liz: bipartisanship because polls show the board service connected a top voter issue. that's what voters say. your reaction and we have this news, city of huntington beach, california, is suing the state of california over its sanctuary laws saying it violates the constitution and protects too much criminal illegal aliens. so it looks like we've got, you know, democrats moving toward trump on this. jowski sure, and senator fedderman said he's listening to everything recently and like he said, the state of pennsylvania and citizens there and republicans, democrats and independents are voting for them for border security and every state and every community and going to going to be committed by illegal al

host: thank you for calling, mona, from pittsburgh, pennsylvania. guest: the swingiest of all swing states and lifelong democrat going republican probably is not alone and why we saw the results we did november 5. host: the work of legislating begins and the new congress sworn in and slim majorities on both sides of the capitol. what does it portend for the desires of the trump administration to get its agenda passed guest: struggle and since we're on c-span can talk nerd a bit and use the reconciliation and the congressional review which reduces the number of votes necessary down to a simple majority where the other route would need to get around the filibuster which takes 670 and with 5senators going in where they're all filled don't have close to 60. we saw this not only in trump's first term but biden's four years as well where we have historically small margins with little margins of error or vote giving up and an opposition party not too willing to compromise with you unless they get something in return, too. host: when can they use that recon

and in pennsylvania, electors insisted on that language.realized, oh, this is going to really hurt us because we, we, we need them to essentially be duped into thinking, oh, no, you're just going to be an alternative slate of electors, but they're going to use it as a fake slate. so that's why you have electors, some who are in on it, some who were they were trying to have be dupes. but no matter what, you shouldn't have pam bondi, who is now the nominee to be or the proposed nominee for the department of justice, to be advocating something that is to which there are no substantive facts to support. >> and neil, the report does say that donald trump knew jack smith proved beyond a reasonable doubt as part of the elements of the evidence here, that donald trump knew that he lost the election, that everything he was saying about it was not true. >> yeah. >> i mean, and what did donald trump say in response today? he called it a political hit job. i think all that the report shows is that jack smith hit the nail on the head. lawrence. and, you

i want to thank elon for what he did in pennsylvania. he worked so hard in pennsylvania. who is a champion, a man who took something from nothing. everybody said this will never work. it's too violent. a man who understood fighting better than anyone ever. what dana white did with the ufc and building it into a monster sport franchise. so i want to thank dana white of ufc. you did a job like nobody could have done. a great guy and a friend of mine. great friend of mine. he's a tough cookie. you want him on your side at all times. everyone of those people you want on your side. we have others, celebrities and everything. i do want to say, in the audience, we have many governors, many senators, many members of congress and other distinguished guests, far too many to name and less would like me to name them. you want me to name them? no. sorry. we appreciate all the love we have gotten from them. our house and our senate republicans have been unbelievable and the governors have been unbelievable, the job they are doing. of the crime-ridden cities, the top 25, every single on
