chriss? it means it s late. that means my coffee buzzes running out. it means it s wednesday and we are gearing up for night three of the democratic national convention. i m don lemon along suicide that guy, christopher cuomo. we work two days in a row, that s how we do, we are the clean up crew. we have to make sure everything is right. maybe the guys before us screwed it up. i will put it that way. we are the clean-up crew, and we do our job with full gusto, big night, why? the democrats check the box. they have a nominee for the president of the united states. it s former vp, joe biden. he accepted in a surprise appearance. here s a taste. thank you very, very. from the bottom of my heart, thank you all. it means the world to me and my family and i will see you on thursday. thank you, thank you, thank you. [ cheers and applause ]. all right, but there were not that much applause, and it was weird. yeah, welcome to the new normal. this is how we have to li
they have been fact checked and are still long. what about the claim about former vice president s health care plan. the bigger problem is that you are going to extinguish 180 million people with the health care. that s not true. you are going to socialist. break that down. that was not true. the democratic primary where bernie sanders proposed a medicare for all, single payer plan which would have eliminated about 180 million people. biden rejected that. he selected the public option which allows them to if they want enter into a medicare type program. bottom line, this is inaccurate. president trump s claim about manufacturing jobs created on his watch. they said it would take a miracle to bring back manufacturing. i brought back 700,000 jobs. they brought back nothing. gave up on manufacturing. we did not. how do you rate that claim? everything is inaccurate. from the beginning of trump s presidency it s a net loss of 237,000. we have lost manufacturi
administration we have been forced to say it exactly as it is because the vulgarity is not in the language, it s in the reality. when he said shithole countries, we said it because it was so offensive, so obscene. tonight was a shitshow. that s what it was. no offense, if any kids are up right now, even on the west coast, you should go to bed. that s much more of a problem than the language, but america lost tonight because you saw the president be all he knows how to be. there should be no surprise, don it wasn t about whether joe biden won or whether donald trump won or whatever, but this the the american people lost. when the president of the united states went on that debate stage, he showed us exactly who he is. we ve known it all along. he has said all along. we ve known when people show you who they are, believe them. this president is insulting, chris, he s a liar, he s a bully and he is a racist and it came out tonight. this is what it had to be. couldn
to good reason for this delay. it s time to focus on it. has anyone heard of the flood of lawsuits that are hitting businesses so hard that we have to address it right now, with equal urgency as hunger, vaccine production, or any family pain? well, mitch mcconnell has interest and he is arguing for exactly that. be very clear. mcconnell is talking about 1400 or so suits since march. they are against employers for work-related illness regarding the covid. he says these suits are such a threat, such an emergency that they are worth holding up relief until there s a deal to hold these employers harmless from liability. so those companies getting relief, matter as much as anything else? forget the fact that some of the suits may be justified. maybe many of them, maybe all of them or that people may have been mistreated or that there s something called worker s compensation. and other tools that are already in place to limit liability. or the fact that litigation is how we figure
other contest, republican david perdue has a very slight lead over democrat jon ossoff, 1,188 votes. 50%, 50%, so close this contest right now, virtual tie. but still plenty of joets outstanding, especially in heavily democratic counties around atlanta. what is at stake right now, republicans have 50 senators, democrats have 48 in the caucus and two independents who caucus with the democrats. if the democrats were to win, possible based on the numbers we re getting, both in georgia, would be 50/50, but kamala harris, vice president is president of the senate and she would break any ties so democrats would be the majority in the senate. pamela brown, let s look at where the outstanding vote is right now. 98% we believe is in, but 2% is significant. that s right, outstanding vote can tell us a lot. gabriel sterling, the election official there says quote what we have outstanding will likely be leaning democrat at best. direct words from him. what he broke down in last half ho
