. >>> joining me now is republican strategyist susan del percio and sirius xm analyst zerlina maxwell. as i talked to senator jones of alabama, it came to mind that the state of mississippi voted to take the confederate emblem out of the mississippi flag. this is something that is just symbolic but significant. >> it is very significant, rev. i believe it passed the house 91-23. >> this is the mississippi house. >> the mississippi house, yes. i think it's going over to the senate momentarily. i'm curious, who are the 23? >> right. >> the only thing i can wonder is, is that the base that donald trump is playing to? because with everything going on, how you could show such a lack of awareness, and frankly, compassion, to vote to keep it is just absurd to me. >> zerlina, as we see the moves around the country, around removing confederate statues and removing symbols of racism, we even saw in princeton they took down woodrow wilson's name from one of the buildings because he was an avowed racist, how do we translate that into legislation like policing, the george floyd policing act and ot

he wants to add fires and scorch the earth. >> susan del percio, morgan chalafant thank you so much.e pandemic is providing the biggest challenge, how former president obama has joined the fight to save the stone wall inn, next. joined the fight to save the stone wall inn, next in peytonville, there's lots of ways to save on auto insurance. really? yeah. very proud of that. with smartride® from nationwide, they can get discounts for safe driving. does she get one? mrs. carmichael? safest driver in peytonville. takes a lot of work and effort to be the safest driver in peytonville. what about this guy? with nationwide smartmiles®, the less he drives, the less he pays. the list of inspiring stories goes on and on. i bet. i've never seen anyone do more with their retirement... ♪ ...than you. i... concur. i come face to face with a lot of behinds. so i know there's a big need for gas-x maximum strength. it works fast. relieving pressure, bloating, and discomfort before you know it. so no one needs to know you've got gas. gas-x so no one needs to know you've got gas. some companies still h

susan del percio, this obviously coming at a time when president trump is really working to sow doubtg, which many in his administration do themselves. which he has done himself. which the military does. and yet he's tweeting away about it saying it's, you know, corrupt and open to fraud. >> this is just another one of trump's ways to find someone to blame if it doesn't go his way. it's a dangerous thing he's doing claiming the election is rigged. at the same time, i believe that you'll see every republican organization at the county, state, federal level all trying to do absentee voter ballots. so, it's not unusual, republicans and democrats have done it for years. republicans in swing states count on it. it's one of their big-ticket investments in a campaign. so, it's not surprising that donald trump is disconnected from the operation that will probably end up helping him in some states. so, while he, once again, the same thing with the masks we talked about. wear masks. it keeps people healthy and working. donald trump allow mail-in voting, you may need it. >> i want to thank wnba
