we began by talking about what is happening in terms of present trump and his inability to a cce pt presenteat. your recent book, battlegrounds, was subtitled the fight to defend the free world. isn't it true that the biggest problem in any fight to defend the free world is right now is the weakness, the internal weakness of the united states of america? the polarisation, the division, the sense that american public and politicians have a real problem figuring out where they want to ta ke figuring out where they want to take the nation. isn't that the biggest weakness of all. . take the nation. isn't that the biggest weakness of all. ” think it is the greatest cause for concern. america is much stronger than we appear. 0ur political elites are more polarised than the vast majority of americans. the media many ways as more polarised than the vast majority of americans but what i argue for is that we have to come together as a people. we need civil discussions about our greatest challenges and how we can overcome them. and i have confidence that we are going to emerge from these crises of a p

trump claimed on twitter. you mentioned the legal attem pts you mentioned the legal attempts from the republican party and theve us a party and the white house. can you give us a sense party and the white house. can you give us a sense of where things are at in that area? yes, some are falling sort of flat ready already. certainly they abandoned one in arizona because in maricopa county, the particular number of ballots that they were contesting would not have been sufficient to overturn the state going tojoe biden. similarly in pennsylvania, a request for 67 counties to be recounted and recast, that's been rejected. where else? michigan, a federal judge has thrown a request there to buck certification in detroit. bit by bit these different legal avenues are sort of meeting obstacles. whether or not the gop will keep going or they will have to leave it there depends on the state but none of these attem pts state but none of these attempts look like they will be in any way sufficient to overturn one of the states let alone the several that donald trump would need to retain the white house for four more yea rs.

the fact that president trump had, for years, alleged that president obama wasn't a legitimate president, that he wasn't truly an american citizen. our tradition has been to a cce ptf an election. that hasn't been president trump's tradition. in 2016, when he lost in the iowa caucus, he claimed it was due to fraud. he claimed the fact that secretary of state quinton got 3 million votes more than he did was a function of fraud. he created a commission to investigate it and quickly disbanded because it could find no fraud to his tradition has been different from what has been different from what has been our american tradition. formula one driver romain grosjean has walked away almost unscathed after a horror crash at the bahrain grand prix. the incident happened on the first lap of the race, where the haas driver lost control of his car and smashed in to the barrier. the car split in half, and the front part burst into flames. but grosjean suffered only minor burns to his hands and feet. here'sjoe wilson. the bahrain grand prix begins. 20 cars race, each with a halo, a titanium bar protecting the cockpit, protecting romain grosjean. and a big fire there! fla mes in

that, i think, will be the point where the trump campaign really has to decide whether or not they are going to sort of accept, even though they have to a cce ptccept, even though they have to accept the overall result, but accept that their legal challenges may have run their course. as one commentator put it, a couple of hours ago, effectively they are making all of the trump supporters watch biden win twice over. but we saw rudy giuliani's press conference, that has got quite a few people talking as well. yeah, it was unconventional, to say the least, wasn't it? it was supposed to be the point, after the votes were counted on all of these unsubstantiated allegations of electoral fraud, he was supposed to come out and those to bed and show the evidence that the trump campaign says is there. and he simply did not. the evidence was not there, they could not show it, he started to go into far foremost show it, he started to go into farforemost as he is quoting my cousin billy, the hollywood comedy film, he is railing at the press and —— vinny. and railing at hugo chavez the late venezuelan leader. it does not look coherent when you put it next

pts, no question about it. every democrat will admit that. i'm sure your conversations go about the same way. it's because we have not seen a politician like donald trump in our lifetime. he is the incumbent president and he is running like the outsider, like the disrupter, he's running like he did in 2016. it's in part because, and his advisers will tell you this and have told me this in the last couple days, that's all he knows how to do. he's not the kind of guy that feels comfortable talking about the accomplishments which the republicans are banging their heads against the wall wishing he would talk about. he's running as somebody who's trying to gin up the anger, frustration and the fear among many americans. it worked in 2016 and the answer we don't know yet and we won't know for maybe a couple days, hopefully tomorrow, is whether it's going to work again. >> if we're going to know tomorrow, it'll be because of florida, north carolina, georgia and maybe arizona. if we have to wait it's because the president won those states and we're waiting on pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin. >> if we have to wait. it's okay. it's based on the laws in the

trump now 171, getting closer. %-pt now. f the vote is in, biden still maintains an impressive lead over trump, 53.6% to 45.6%. the lead went down to 185,000 in arizona n. nevada, only 5% of the vote is in. trump has a lead of 32,000 or so, 73.4% to 23.9%, 6 electoral votes in nevada. in georgia, 82% of the estimated vote is in. trump still maintains an impressive nearly 300,000 vote lead over biden in georgia. 52.9% to 45.8%. 16 electoral votes in georgia. let's go back to john king who's watching all of this oh so closely. right now the race to 270, 215 for biden, 171 for trump. >> so, we're waiting. pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin. you heard joe biden say we need to wait. georgia as well we're going to wait. i got a text from somebody in michigan who said they share joe biden's confidence. the democrats are going to say they're doing fine. we'll hear what the president says momentarily. 215 to 171. let's if you will, refight the last war. you do the next election based on the last election. why is the trump campaign so u

trump has now called for a recount. —— as my colleague simon was saying. does that surprise you? doesn't surprise me at all. the president has been telegraphing his unwillingness to acce pthe result of the election for several months. joe biden has woi'i for several months. joe biden has won wisconsin, he has a 20,000 plus vote egg advantage, the president is entitled to us for a recount because he was within1% of the vote. he has probably until around november 17 or make that request but he would have to pay for it which could cost three or $4 million so it is by no means settled that he would actually pursue the recount that he claims he is calling for. the president often makes bold claims and doesn't follow through. we'll know a lot more about outstanding swing states in the united states in the next three days and so there may not be recount here but they might. if it occurred, it would probably take a few days to engage. michael, that hasn't stopped social media and the kind of conspiracy theories and misinformation circulating about the number of ballots in the number of registers voted in wisconsin. that's right, there are baseless, false conspiracy theories floa
