lindsey graham said, it use my words against me. we should not be considering a justice in the fourth year, in an election year and that he would not vote for such a justice. i learned, many of us learned in south carolina, a manager women are only as good as their work. what is the word of lindsey graham worth? gordon: what is your position? do you have a rule you follow of when it is and is not appropriate to confirm amount nomination? ms. harrison: my room is the precedent and standards of the united states senate. in 2016, the rule was that whenever a president nominates, it should be considered. lindsey graham and others change that rule and set a new president. now he's going against his word. in essence, this is a new precedent. i will follow it. if we will be a nation of laws and rules, we have to follow those rules. i said the other night, it feels like i'm playing monopoly with my six-year-old son. you change the rules to benefit you. that's not the way this country needs to run. i will always follow the rules. people will

[booing] i mean, i was watching this weekend and servants of the biting campaign said they were open to it, including members of the senate. and alexandria ocasio-cortez just tweeted today, "expand the court." joe biden and kamala harris refuse to answer whether they would pack the court. i tried to get kamala harris to answer that ques

i mean, lindsey graham didn't just reverse his opinion, lindsey graham lied. he said, hold the tape. you know, use my word against me. we should not take up a nomination of a judicial appointment during an election year. not only is it during an election year, people have already started voting. we've almost had a million people to vote here in south carolina. >> true, but the people of south carolina -- but the people of south carolina do say they want it to be justice barrett. >> well, john, that's one poll. i've got another poll that shows you that many folks wanted lindsey graham to stick by his word. and so in the in the e-- at the the day, i think the greatest travesty of a public servant is to lie to the people that you serve. and that's what lindsey graham has done. if he's done it this time, he'll do it again. we can't have that. we have to be able to understand that there's a reason why we have precedent, there's a reason why we have rules and laws. and politicians like lindsey graham don't get a free pass in order to do whatever they want wherever t

[cheers and applause] and he topped it off yesterday by leading the confirmation of justice amy coney barrett. ofis an incredible champion the constitution of the united states of america. the rule of law has no greater champion. than your senator. right after you reelect president donald trump, we need south carolina to reelect senator lindsey graham for six more years. [cheering and applause] in a landslide! [cheers and applause] but senator graham already knows, and you deserve to know, after 150 years of nine judges on the supreme court, leading democrats and washington, d.c. are talking about packing the court. that means adding seats on the supreme court so they can appoint activist liberal judges to advance their leftist agenda from the judiciary. [crowd booing] i mean, i was watching this weekend and surrogate of the biden-- surrogates of the campaign said they were open to it, including members of the senate.

if we listen to lindsey grahamt and follows his word, lindsey graham said use my words against me. we should not be considering a justice in the fourth year, in an election year. he would not vote for such justice. i learned i think many of us learn here in south carolina that a man and woman are only as good as their word. what is the word of lindsey graham's worth? >> what is your position in. you have a rule you follow when it is or is not to confirm the nomination? >> rule is with the senate. in 2016 the rule was that you should, when ever a nominates it should be considered. then lindsey graham and others change that rule and set a new precedent. and now he is going against his word and the precedent that was set. so in essence if this is a new precedence than i'm follow the new precedents. but if we are going to be a nation of laws and rules, then let's follow those rules. i said the other night i feel like i'm monopoly with my 6-year-old son. you change the rules whenever it benefits you. that is not the way this country needs to run. i'm going to always follow the rules. pe

[cheers and applause] and he topped it off yesterday by leading the confirmation of justice amy coney barrett. he is an incredible champion of the constitution of the united states of america. the rule of law has no greater champion. than your senator. right after you reelect president donald trump, we need south carolina to reelect senator lindsey graham for six more years.

>> hey, lindsey, good morning to you as well. so the former new jersey governor has been pretty good about posting his updates via twitter and as far as we know he is still at the hospital right now, but according to his last tweet he said in consultation with my doctors i checked myself into morristown medical center this afternoon. he posted this yesterday. while i am feeling good and only have mild symptoms due to my history of asthma we decided this is an important precautionary measure. he also added he looks forwarded to heading home soon. but lindsey, this has been a quick turn of events because if you go back several days he posted on tuesday he took a test that came out negative. he took another test on friday and as we know, here we are sunday morning, and he is at the hospital diagnosed with covid-19. but his trail has been scrutinized very closely because of this diagnosis. as you know, he was in close contact with the president prepping for the debates along with several others. he told abc news that there were about

can i just say, vote to reelect senator lindsey graham again. vote to reelect senator lindsey graham at all these incredible numbers of congress. get it done. fill it out. do next thing i need you to is go talk to somebody. what happened in 20's happening again. -- in 2016 is happening again. in 2016, there are only two kinds of poles first years ago. one is we would lose by a lot in ones where we were losing by a little. and that is pretty much the same. i have to tell you, we are seeing enthusiasm around this country that is greater today than it was in 2016 and i think it is because the american talking to each other. we are talking about everything we accomplished in this country. how this president literally kept every promise he made to the american people, talking about how this president has led decisively in one of the most challenging years of my lifetime. talking about the choice this election. that's what i need you to do. at worship and at work. say you ran into mike and he got up there and he and lindsay and the governor talked abo

lindsey graham.com. help me stand up to this mob. if these people take over our government, god help us all. they were trying to ruin diane feinstein's life for giving me a hug. >> sean: chuck schumer said no more filibuster. they will pack the courts and they want puerto rico statehood. you have your race and mcsally and tillis in north carolina and pursue -- purdue. the senate is as important as the president winning because this would be the biggest power grab in the history of the country. if you pack the court and amnesty is something of value to attraction people to your party, it seems to me lindsey graham, i don't know if we will see another republican president in our lifetime. >> well, they will did away with the electoral college or new york and california will pick the president from ever and go from 9 to 13 members to the supreme court and do away with the filibuster in the senate. anything coming out of nancy pelosi's house will go to joe biden's desk. we have to win this election. we have to get president trump elected

so it is surprising that both donald trump and lindsey graham are in neck and neck races. as you said, $57 million raised by jaime harrison. the question is who are the voters that might be willing to actually split the ticket here, vote for trump but also vote for jaime harrison? in that vein, listen to part of my conversation with a south carolina republican. >> i think lindsey's pretty solid with the washington crowd, you know. i think us so you thought cuth would like to see him do more for us. i like that he named charleston, i'm local, that gave me a little hope. the health care thing is a mess i think on both sides. we're all just kind of figuring out who can come up with the best plan. i think that's going to be a big factor in this. >> reporter: does it hurt lindsey graham here in south carolina or does it help him? >> it probably helps him because of the -- you know, the abortion issue, that's -- you know, some people are choosing to use that as a one issue that they want to hold onto. i think it's helping him. forgetting that we're losing lives in other manners.

multiple seats that are very much in play the other process is iowa joni ernst and david perdue where lindsey graham's finds himself in a very tough race there are more seats because they expanded the battlefield so if something happens in north carolina and then the scandals move it is a nationalized selection with that backlash against republicans go to court political.com if you want to be keeping track of those race readings it's a very easy chart there to see how they rank these want to give viewers the numbers to call and if they have of the senate battlefield now is a good time to call in. >> you are beginning to talk about the senate judiciary committee were amy coney barrett will have her hearings republicans moving forward next week is the seeing the democrat in that race over the weekend they held a debate and an issue was the supreme court nomination and here is a little bit from the south carolina debate. >> sometimes that is like playing monopoly with my son you change the rules every time. you said use my words against me and you said it after the kavanaugh hearings not before

you guys just said that lindsey graham has called president trump xenophobic. joe biden was calling president trump xenophobic based off of his record with the muslim ban, things of that sort. it wasn't specifically for the travel bans that were instituted in the beginning of the year. also, -- host: david, let's take this up, jessica taylor, this issue of handling the coronavirus, very much an issue in many of these campaigns. guest: i think this has just overshadowed everything and has really offended campaigning as we know it -- upended campaigning as we know it. they have had to transform into a lot of online ventures. we do see candidates going out more now, but a lot of republicans, as we have seen this issue take a very partisan divide, we see a lot of republican candidates out there that are not wearing masks, not adhering to social distancing, while mostly democrats have been very careful on that issue. they are holding events outdoors. they are requiring masks and different things. certainly, some republicans are taking precautions, but there are a lo

that is something ted cruz has said, he's been in contact with lindsey graham. they will do whatever it takes to get this moving. democrats have said there is no procedure to stop this. host: this is alex bolton of the hill. morning,a story this when it comes to looking at joe biden and chuck schumer in the senate and what might happen if the democrats win the white house and the senate. could you talk about this? one of the big stories coming out of the confirmation hearings is you calling for dine feinstein to step down as a top democrat of the committee. it's a preview of the headaches that biden and schumer will face if they do win. if democrats take back the senate, if biden's president, there are expectations. forhave groups gunning dianne feinstein after she at the end of the hearing, praise lindsey graham for his leadership. was what 25 years ago it was not so remarkable. the committee has been wracked by acrimony going back to brett kavanaugh and before. after she did that, you had groups calling for her head. that democratic activists and some of these

lindsey graham has no core. he's abandoned the american people, abandoned the constitution and he in no way deserves to be re-elected. he's a massive disappointment, i'm sorry to say. he's someone i respected for years, but he's shown his true colors in the last four years and he deserves to be beaten. i think there should be a cross-partisan coalition in south carolina formed by democrats, independents and principled conservatives and republicans to unseat him. >> evan mcmullin, we'll have to leave it there. good to see you. hope you'll come back. >> good to see you, too. >>> while we were having that conversation, the press briefing started at the white house, and we are keeping -- it's happening right now. we're going to just watch and listen for you. we are not going to take you there just yet, but we are monitoring. if anything newsworthy is said, we'll pass it along to you. let's not forget, as chris jansing pointed out, people. >> reporter: voalready voting. we'll head to one of the largest counties in fl

lindsey graham refused to do that. republicans are not allowing those tests to happen ahead of the hearing. democrats did demand it, and senator kamala harris, a member of the judiciary committee, also, of course, joe biden's running mate says she's going to be appearing here virtually for this very reason. she said, republicans are endangering lives by not allowing these tests to go forward. so that's one of the things that we are watching today. of course. i'm thinking more broadly as well as the political inch placations across the map. lindsey graham is relying on this hearing to try to save himself down in south carolina, getting traditional republicans, maybe turned off by trump or his closeness to donald trump but focused on this. he thinks this is going to be potentially good for him in a political situation. >> wow. >> hmm. >> so count on that as well. >> kasie, thank you so much. >>> mika, it's unbelievable. you actually have, you actually have republicans who have tested positive, who are going back in to a

>> reporter: hey, lindsey. so the president's contraction of covid has brought the issue back front and center on the campaign trail, and it's really put republicans on the defensive especially as the administration has come under so much scrutiny for their handling of the virus. both candidates were asked about this repeatedly last night at the debate. here is how they responded. >> we need a strategy, a 50-state strategy, and the failure of leadership -- the failure of leadership of addressing this. the senate failed to act. the white house failed to october. the governors failed to act. we need leaders who are going to step up and act. >> no democrat seems to say anything about a mob coming up into my yard or attacking republicans after president obama chose the nomination in washington. it seems like a riot can't spread the virus. amy barrett will be treated respectfully, i hope. >> reporter: lindsey graham wanted to focus not just on the coronavirus but his role in pushing through the confirmation of supre

lindsey knows he's in trouble. we need to make sure we can permanently send him home and we'll do that november 3rd. >> we just heard latasha brown say radio is very effective in connecting to black voters in particular at this turnout point in the campaign. are you confident that you and the democratic party in south carolina have all the resources you need to communicate with the voters you need to communicate to to get them to the polls? >> we still need to continue to push, lawrence. we poured millions of dollars into radio to get our message out, into digital tv, but what the latest projections are that lindsey graham and the super pacs will outspend us by $6 million in the last two weeks of the campaign. we cannot let up, we have to keep going forward. that's where we are and i'm sure jon ossoff and so many in the south, we have to get the resources to pull these out and we can do it. >> what about republican attempts to discourage voting in south carolina? what are you doing in the face of that? >> well, i -

jaime harrison challenging senator lindsey graham. now i want to go to amy mcgrath, running against the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell in kentucky. amy, the polls where you are generally have showed you behind. but there has not been polling since president trump's positive coronavirus test, hospitalization, or the death of the supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg. have you seen a turn? >> well, i have. and i think what you saw two nights ago in the debate is you have a senator who came back here to kentucky and all he had was excuses for his failure to get a coronavirus relief bill passed. and this is, you know, what kentuckians care about. we have here in kentucky a million kentuckians that have filed for unemployment in the last six months. we have 300,000 kentuckians without health care. we have a senator who, you know, in the debate when i challenged him on his failed leadership, you know, because he's not just a member of the senate, he's the leader of the senate who can't get it done in the middle of a national cri

thet is interesting to see evolution of lindsey graham. he was critical of president trump and now he has become one of his closest confidantes and golfing buddies which is a huge shift for lindsey graham who was a very close ally of the late senator john mccain. hawk kind of traditional conservative. republicans have completely gotten on board with the trump brand of conservatism especially when it comes to labeling democrats as part of the radical left that wants to dramatically reshape america as we know it. kevin: that's really fascinating, especially as we are watching and listening right now to senator lindsey graham before the senate judiciary committee orchestrating and overseeing the confirmation process to judge amy coney barrett i'm old enough to remember when candidate donald trump gave out the cell phone number of senator lindsey graham on the campaign trail just a couple of years ago. they've come a long way. taylor: this will be very interesting. this is why i love to take a break from markets and talk about the shift in ton

lindsey knows he's in trouble. we need to make sure we can permanently send hmm hoim home we'll do that november 3rd. >> we just heard latasha brown say radio is very effective in connecting to black voters in particular at this turnout point in the campaign. are you confident that you and the democratic party in south carolina have all the resources you need to communicate with the voters you need to communicate to to get them to the polls? >> we still need to continue to push, lawrence. we poured millions of dollars into radio to get our message out, into digital tv, but what the latest projections are that lindsey graham and the superpacs will outspends b us by $6 milli in the last two weeks of the campaign. we cannot let up, we have to keep going forward. that's where we are and i'm sure jon ossoff and so many in the south, we have to get the resources to pull these out and we can do it. >> what about republican teemts discourage voting in south carolina? what are you doing in the face of that? >> well, i -- th

i think lindsey graham is a relic of the old south. and, you know, what i mean by this, stephen, is that i believe a new south is bold. it is inclusive. it's diverse. it's a place where all of our folks should have their voices appreciated, valued, and heard. you know, this is a seat, the one that i'm vying for, was the seat of john c. calhoun, it was the seat of strorm thank you very muchond, and south carolina on november 3 has the opportunity of writing a whole brand-new history for the south, which we can become the very first state to have two african american senators serving at the very same time. i think that is the new south that we want to see, that we want to hear, that we want to be a part of. >> stephen: a model for the nation. south carolina has a chance to do it. jaime harrison, thank you so much for being here. good luck on tuesday. nice to see you again, my friend. >> it's good seeing you, too. >> we'll be right back with elvis costello. thanks, jaime. i always loved you sven-jannin, i never said it but... (dramatic cr

lindsey graham has become all d.c. his focus is on d.c., and he has forgotten the people here in south carolina. that he supposedly represents. he doesn't address the issues that are fundamental here. you know, don, we're in the midst of this pandemic. we've had 3,000 people to die here in south carolina, over the course of a few months. we've got 100,000, plus, folks with the covid. and lindsey graham was the one that said, over our dead bodies, will we allow an extension of the unemployment benefits. he is the one who is trying to rip away health care, right now. he supports that lawsuit in the supreme court that's going to be heard on november 10th. to take away health care from millions of people in this country. and our businesses are shuddered. we need somebody who is going to focus on us. now, what is lindsey rushing to do? he wasn't rushing, in august, to get a bill to extend benefits to folks because of covid. because he took vacation. he's not rushing, now. but he's rushing to get a supreme court justice on t

lindsey is learning a lesson. you never tell jimmy lou harrison and willie harrison's grandson that he can't do something. we are going to show lindsey graham on november 3rd that the seem of south carolina are going to take their seat back. >> jaime, you've -- i will give senator graham some credit in that he's not shying away from debates with you, but in the first debate you showed up with a plexiglas divider to keep -- to separate you two and then in the latest debate there was a kerfuffle that went down because senator graham would not take a covid test. >> yeah, you know, jonathan, listen, lindsey took a covid test for the first debate because he said he was in a room with senator mike lee. well, he was still within the 14-day window. every person this that studio took a test, i took a test as well. it's not -- you know, it doesn't hurt, jonathan, it's less than two minutes sticking a cotton swab up your nose and getting the test results in 30 minutes. and i don't understand why mike pence can get a covid te

our discussion earlier about south carolina and lindsey graham getting a lot of attention onet social media, kan beau canon writing in this morning there are republicans that i know who are not supporting graham they seeri tht he doesn't care about the citizens of south carolina and only about pleasing trump. it's sickening is what she writes is the bait performance was weak as peeved by his nonanswer to the judge question. and i wongd where steve out of charleston, south carolina, and independent thinks of those comments. steve go ahead. yeah john briefly i called in on independent line and looking forward to the constitution party on your show at some point. and he may have been on there and i don't get to watch every day. but anyway back to lindsey graham and jamie harrison he has a deep, i don't know where all of his funding coming from that's a big question. but i'll say this down in south carolina, on the coast of the political demographics changed over yearsas on the coast down here more and more people are voting blue so cunningham in the house and presidential race on the coa

harrison: again, with lindsey graham, it is the nancy pelosi show. maybe you should call the speaker to be here next to you, because i'm not nancy pelosi. i don't look like her, i don't believe everything she believes. if you want to debate her, please do that. you have not been telling the truth on all this. you said i was for defunding the police, i don't believe in defunding police. i have two members right now in my family who are serving in the police. who go in and put their lives on the line every day. you need to be careful with your language. you are supporting defunding the holy spirit -- the police. because you have not passed this covid believe bill, we have had to reduce the budget of police. so senator, you need to do better. graham, we are sticking with police. police officers are forced to handle many issues, including that of being mental health workers, essentially. this is due to decades of deinstitutionalization. yelling a quarter of people killedi police since -- by police since 2016 had a mental health issue. sen. graham: you do

lindsey graham went back on his word. my grandfather told me -- taught me that a man is only as good as his word. and lindsey graham basically stated, he said use my words against me. and that's what we're doing. we are holding the tape like he instructed us to do. and he said that in this election year we should not take up a judicial nominee. and he didn't have any caveats on it. that's what he said. he said he couldn't vote for it. now sometimes somebody may say something and change their mind or lie about it and it benefits you. but when you open that pandora's box and you allow somebody to betray your trust once, i can guarantee you from my life experience, they'll do it again. and that's not what you need in a public servant. you need someone who is going to be honest with the people, even when the people don't always agree with it. and that's what i promise to do. i will never lie to the people of south carolina. and that's why this movement has grown so much here in south carolina. and people trust me. they don't

why isn't lindsey graham doing better in the polls here? >> lindsay has become untrustworthy. >> i think people are a bit frustrated with lindsay. >> has betrayed the faith in the trust of the american people. >> another reason is certainly money. the campaign just raked in a record-setting amount, the biggest quarterly take for a senate candidate in u.s. history. and is spending that nuclear war chest on ads highlighting his taped flip-flops. >> race baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. >> that's a lot of money against you. >> it is a lot of money. >> the graham campaign communications director says he expects things to turn around when voters seek judiciary chairman of ground pushing amy barrett through the senate to the supreme court. >> this is still south carolina and most people here like a conservative court. >> yes, absolutely. the things you hear most on the ground amongst south carolinians is how happy they are at senator graham success as chairman of the judiciary committee. >> savage remains unimpressed recalling when graham wa

. >> chairman lindsey graham just gavelled in. we're going to monitor this as they begin their opening statements, but let's let them get through the procedural stuff. jeffrey toobin, i had you on the air when justice scalia's death came and we talked about heller and the second amendment decision in heller for which he wrote the majority opinion. what do we know about judge barrett when it comes to the second amendment -- hold that thought. let's go to this. >> the architect of the capital working with the attending physician has set up the room in a fashion that we can safely do our business. senator lee is back. you've been cleared by your physician. welcome back. the covid problem in america is real. it's serious. it's dangerous. and we have to mitigate the risk. i would just let every american know that many of you are going to work today, probably already been at work, and i hope your employer will take care of your healthcare needs, but we do have a country that needs to move forward safely and there are millions of america

lindsey graham is in trouble. that's why i tell folks, if you want to volunteer, if you want to help us, go to jaimeharrison.com and be part of how we make history here in south carolina. >> according to "the post courier," the number of ballots issued so far breaks the record. what are those numbers telling you? >> andrea, overall, when you add the in-person absentee vote, we've already had almost 500,000 south carolinians who have voted. and we expect in this race about 2 million people. so we're almost at about 20, 25% of what is expected by november 3. and so it says to me that people are excited. they're ready for change in the state. they're ready for some real representation. and my wife and i, i took my two boys with me yesterday to go vote, and we stood in line and we stood in line with the rest of the folks. but they were excited. they were very supportive of our campaign and our contest. and we're looking forward to seeing what the result is on november 3. >> and i want to ask you about, again, raising

lindsey graham just brought this up. you have democrats outspending republicans in key senate races in all of these states. the ones that you mentioned. alaska, alabama, colorado, georgia. i could go on. a ton of money. $327 million for democrats and $200 for republicans. will that make a difference? >> money makes a difference in every campaign just about. it alone can't win the race but dems are up two to one in alaska in ad dollars spent. 2.7 to 1 against lindsey graham. they're up 33% more dollars in arizona, iowa, montana, north carolina and marginally up in maine and colorado. makes a difference. getting out your message and being seen. it reflects a few things. the dems really built an impressive grass roots technological tool in something called eck blue. that's how they took the house in 2018. their money machine, which is technologically aided is impressive. you can't discount the impact of donald trump. donald trump is the greatest thing for democratic fund-raising. whether the super low progressives or modera

really people are nervous here, lindsey. they say no matter which candidate they support, they don't necessarily feel their candidate is a lock because people really are and the polls will indicate this. 50/50 split here. you've seen the polls go back and forth between support for biden and support for trump. you can see from these heat maps i want to show you how the state has evolved over the last three elections, going more red for trump in 2016 after voting for obama in the last two elections prior. many say they are still voting for trump, but there were some voters who did voted for trump in 2016 and now switching their vote to biden. listen in. >> i am voting for trump. >> why? >> 2020. because he in my opinion has held up his end of the bargain for everything he said last term that he was going to do. i expect he's going to do great things in the next four years. >> i didn't like who was all -- running, so i'm kind of in the middle about it. i'm more into biden now. so i think i'm kind of changing my ways on that par

lindsey graham, thank you for being with us. when we come back, studies prove biden tax plan would be a disaster for many people in many states, and even rapper $0.50 is now saying people should vote for trump because of it. we will explain, we have reaction tonight from herschel walker, larry elder, bad and more straight ahead. ♪ e with schizophrenia? e with schizophrenia? i am a good parent. jared? i'm hearing the most awful things, people shouting at me. it's ok. when you live with schizophrenia like us, it can feel like you're living in a different world. you should definitely talk to your doctor and ask about fanapt. ok. fanapt is approved for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. in clinical trials, fanapt significantly improved symptoms of schizophrenia compared to placebo. cynthia, are you ok? i feel like everyone's out to get me. fanapt may change your heart rhythm which could elevate risk of sudden death. your doctor will consider this when deciding among treatments and may prescribe another medication first or m

mark: lindsey graham pushed back against criticism. he said the senate has the constitutional duty to confirm judge barrett to the court. americanstion of dying from the coronavirus is the highest in the developed world according to a study of global mortality rates that shows the united states pandemic response left citizens expose to the lethal disease. the study says 100,000 fewer americans would have died if the u.s. had the same mortality rate as the netherlands. leads the world in coronavirus deaths with nearly 215,000. french officials aren't ruling out further lockdowns as coronavirus infections continue to spike. the country reported 43,000 new cases over the weekend. cities are now under maximum virus alert. government will review health data this wednesday and decide if further action is needed. france has been one of the european countries hardest hit by the pandemic. trade deal between the u.k. and the european union is still hanging in the balance. boris johnson called the leaders of germany and france. from minister john

>> we need more transparency right now, lindsey. i mean, here is an issue that's not just a health crisis for the president, a crisis for our economy, plus a crisis for our national security. so, this is where transparency and direct communication to the american public is critically important. i should stress that in the past, when the president had negative tests, those results were freely disclosed, so we should know what those tests are showing now. >> doctor, quickly here, given the fact that you have -- i'm not talking about the president now, but chris christie, who's been in the hospital now some seven days. we haven't gotten much information, but given that he's there for seven days, that can't necessarily be a good thing. >> well, i'm hoping his doctors are being very cautious with him. we have not heard more about the governor's condition. but people who have covid are hospitalized should be there until they are fully recovered. and so, i'm hoping that his doctors are being extra careful with him and that he's doing well.

lindsey: wait a minute. we are championing the ongoing recovery going into 2020, and the growth rope had slowed to 2%. i do not know if that is unacceptable. i think the bar expectations for the u.s. economy has declined so precipitously that if we got back to a sustainable 2% level, that would be championed as a resurgence back to a recovery or strong economy. claims, weed at the all agree it is unacceptable. what is your model unemployment rate for the united states of america? lindsey: for the year of 2020? i think we could get down to a low of 6%. going forward i think it will be difficult for the economy to maintain a level below that, as i think the timeline for businesses to come back online, reconnect with employees, reconnect the supply chain is going to take time, even under the best case scenario. i think the unemployment rate will be stubbornly around 5.5% for the foreseeable future. jonathan: great to catch up and get your thoughts. piegza, stifel chief economist. headlines from steven mnuchin s

it's time for lindsey graham to leave washington, d.c. and let a new generation take over. >> there was so much to pull out of that debate yesterday but one thing that i found was most striking was lindsey graham saying we have moved on as a nation. take a listen. >> the virus is a problem that came out of china not trump tower that we're getting vaccines ready, i think any month now, hopefully even sooner, the drug therapies are working, the one thing i want people to know is that the virus is serious, but we have to move on as a nation. >> jamie, has the nation moved on now that we know that the president, the commander in chief, is now in walter reed with covid. >> lindsey graham said that the virus is serious, but he's still not taking it seriously. i mean, even last night and, you know, in retrospect maybe i shouldn't have done, but this guy was exposed to one of the senators yet he should have quarantined himself. we really have to take these things seriously. it's not just about me, but it's about the people in that room and all th
