Hello. Eric. Go to georgia, supporter of the president elect. Caller yes, thank you, pedro. What this has shown about the United States is how racist it is, bigotry. These people that put up with trump. This country has been suffering under slavery and what did we ever do . ,eople like you at other people able to be successful because of what black people went through under civil rights and different types of margins and things. People who came here from cuba, thought they were born in canada with socialized medicine. The how do you expect caller president elect caller to handle these issues . He said we are going to the president elect to handle these issues . Caller he said hes going to deal with them. Host a little bit more about the transition. Post,om the washington the president elects team has been given Government Computers and office space in the Herbert Hoover building in washington, although most of the work is being done virtually because of the pandemic oft again, theres more that in the Washington Post this morning.

Sidentelect biden w with his speech he sounded like an american who had the american spirit who is willing to fight for the American Dream for all of us and i hope he keeps that spirit for the whole four years, hes got a tough road to hoe row to hoe. Host what are the challenges he faces . Caller a divided government. I believe mr. Biden can do that, hes always done it, thats just something hes known for. Host what do you mean hes always done it . Caller hes always been known for building coalitions. Hes a guy that can go into a room full of people that dont like him and convince a couple that hes willing to work for them. Thats what i believe anyhow, thats the feeling i get from the man. Misses harris, Kamala Harris, and if i mispronounced her rick name i apologize, im really proud of that. I have a daughter and shes just walking on cloud nine right now. Thank you, lets get together and go to work, america. We can do it. Host jen, virginia, supporter of President Trump, good morning. Vote in that i did respect, though i consider myself an independent. I did vote for the policies under trump. However, i was very, very impressed by the speeches last night. As the previous caller noted, they were very american sounding. I think we have a lot of work to do, but in respect to having a multiracial family, Kamala Harris represented that very well. Voted for you say you the president s policies, what did you mean by that . Caller global policies depending the United States, standing up for the United States. In their campaign they made it seem that we would be gaining respect back. In some ways trump did some things a little bit harsh, but we did gain respect in the world. Whether people like him or not. Failure, buthes a standing up for the American People he did that and i do believe that biden will do the same thing, stand up for all americans. It comes to the president himself, do you think he should offer a concession speech at this point . Caller i dont hes able to. I really dont. It will take some time. Theres a call for him to speak, we all know that. It will take some time and i think eventually he will. What i wanted biden to do last night was ask the people, if we are reaching for peace and unity in this country, he could have addressed those in front of the white house to lower their temperature. We do need to start with respect if we are going to move forward. Host we will hear from another supporter of the president in tyler, texas. Good morning. Know, the media seems to have totally let us down. We knew who was ahead when the voting was stopped, when we wait to find out who the president is for four years and then we stop the count and there is a massive lead by one party, and resume the count in the middle of the night, it looks suspicious. Are we going to believe a media that has been lying to us for four years on the impeachment, the russia collusion, and was on tapen biden if theyfr talking about dont fire the prosecutor, they dont get the billion dollar loan guarantee, and then getting the money from the mayors wife in moscow, 3. 5 million. Not just, the media does elect the president. The state legislatures of every state are the last determinant of where the electoral votes go. Host do you expect anything different to come from the states . Well, i called my legislature and i talked to a bunch of lawyers on thursday at a party for an elected judge that i know and he is confident of all the fraud that has taken place. Its abominable. They tried to do this in 2016 and push the wrong buttons with hillary. Thats why they were so upset they didnt win, they knew they were going to win. Its called that, the Hammer Scorecard Program written by Dennis Thompson . E was part of darpa that program, when they paused of the vote, when trump was wildly ahead and then everything flipped. Thats what the litigation is about. We cant trust the media that has been lying to us for four years. Host ok, you made that point already. We will let you go there. When it comes to who will possibly take the seat of senator harris, now Vice President elect harris, who represents california, politico has a story taking a look at the names possibly in contention, saying that it has become one of governor Gavin Newsoms guess decisions. Many insiders insist that the governor wants to make a historic choice, making the secretary of state a leader contender. Picked, he would become the first latino senator in the states history. The governor also has to contend with womens groups who have been pressuring him to fill the seat with another woman of color, putting karen bass in, high on that list. She was joe bidens, she was on the shortlist for Vice President and said recently she is keeping her options open. Also, representative barbara lee has been viewed as a likely leadings well, recently in the university of Southern California poll. You can find more of that story on the website of politico. Gus in martins ferry, ohio. A supporter of the president elect. Go ahead. Caller im listening to all these Trump Supporters about illegal votes and fraud and everything. Im thinking, well what is, you , is there a lot of Trump Supporters that filed for absentee ballots . Are they going to throw those out, too . Or just the biden absentee ballots that people voted for him and those are the ones that are illegal . The ones that voted for trump are legal . Before, before it even started, trump got up there and called fraud. Before it even started. We knew what he was doing, right . He put up a postmaster general to slow everything down because he wanted those votes to sit there after the election day and then bring him in and call them illegal, call them fraud. This guy is a con man. Anna, news go to castle, delaware, a supporter of President Trump. That all cant believe the people that voted for joe , all the people that lost money into thousand eight when joe biden and barack obama was in there. I lost 880,000. My husband just died and left me some money to take care of the kids and myself and they took, underet the bank go because they loaned money to the people that wouldnt pay the money back and i said i cant believe all the people that just forgot about it. You know . Are they deliberate . They cant think from one day to the next whats going on . Injob if joe biden gets there, we are ruined and thats permanent. The woman who is Vice President , she is not worth adamma because she slept her way to the top with governor brown. Part of the celebrations happening here in washington, d. C. , particularly in what is known as the black lives matter concourse, you can see a lot of those celebrations going on in d. C. And several cities across the United States and internationally as well, the Associated Press picking up a story based out of india waking up to the news of the election of Kamala Harris as Vice President , overjoyed people in her indian grandfathers hometown, they set off firecrackers on sunday in a tiny village of 300 and 50 people, they were reading newspapers chatting about the victory before reading to a temple.
