Shannon donald trump pushing back on mail in voting for the upcoming primaries democrats ramp of the National Battle over going to the polls during a pandemic. Deputy Communications Director eric greeny joins us to discuss how this could impact the november election. Thanks for coming on. What is the problem with the mail in vote . 100 mail in voting is ripe for fraud. States should maintain the responsibility for their voting laws and make changes where necessary and utilize the current structures they have to allow for flexibility. Mail in voting is great for those at high risk during the pandemic and conservative purpose but that is not what democrats want. They are aiming for a complete overhaul of the election system in the United States to try to put 100 mail in voting into law. Nancy pelosi tried to push that through in the first pandemic bill when the focus should have been putting muchneeded relief in the hands of americans and businesses struggling. Voter fraud is an issue. We want to make sure those who can legally vote do so. Shannon listen to what the president had to say. If youre a Senior Citizen and someone who needs it, they have to be very careful. When you vote, theres a lot of fraudulent voting going on in this country. Fraudulent voting is one thing but fresh on the minds of a lot of people is what we saw in wisconsin, people in lines, there is two sides of the story to be told. The problem is wisconsin, waited until the last minute, tried to change, how people are voting and it is too little too late to help people out when it was clear they had social distancing measures and tried to have the election, you cant try to change at the last minute. You need a process to secure their right to vote. The Heritage Foundation found these examples, cases from past elections including some in rio grande, troy, new york and pennsylvania people voting multiple times, republicans and democrats are trying to invite this kind of activity on the other side, democrats say republicans are trying to suppress the vote, how do you respond to that . Democrats trying to fearmonger. Democrats want to make sure the laws and rights of americans are protected. It is what this president does day in and day out protecting the constitution, the legal rights of american citizens, make sure those legally allowed to vote can do so. Democrats tried to cram a wish list of liberal policies into a relief package to try to change it to 100 mail in voting in this country. Unless they are willing to put in other measures, it is not going to vote because it is ripe for fraud. There should be voter id, you should be who you say you are when you shop to vote because the signup, you have to be able to identify your self. An important step along the way, make sure you are legally allowed to vote. Bernie sanders dropped out of the 2020 race making joe biden the presumptive nominee for the democratic party. Lets look at this poll, biden leading donald trump in the polls 49 percent41 , there is still a lot of time between now and november. What do you make of that paul and joe biden being the guy right now . The dc democrat establishment got the candidate they wanted. They wanted joe biden so they could have the candidate they thought could win in november. Unfortunately for them the Bernie Sanders policies are the policies of the democrats, this is something the campaign has been saying for months. Bernie sanders and joe biden want to raise taxes on the middle class, want to illuminate the oil and gas industry, destroying jobs, they want to allow free healthcare for illegal immigrants. Not only do you have the worst of the dc establishment in joe biden but pair that with a disastrous policy platform donald trump is going to be well on his way to victory in november. 17 minutes after the are. 18yearold recovering after a brutal fight with this virus, he felt he was hit by a truck.

Joining me with that message is Dimitri Mitchell and his mother irina. You look great. Im glad to hear you are doing better. Tell me your story, tell me when this all began. Not sure where i got it but i work at the Grocery Store and i am a cashier dealing with hundreds of guests tonight. I was working on the eleventh of march, started getting my first symptoms on st. Patricks day, started as a cough, started with a mild cough and it progressively got worse over a few days and on the fourth day the bad symptoms started coming, started getting warmer, breaking out into sweats. My eyes started watering and my cough got really bad and i started experiencing the worst headaches i ever felt. Did you think that was covid19 . I wasnt sure at first. I just thought it was a cold and so did my mom. Thats what we talked about but i had thought to the back of my mind that like everybody who would get sick during this time are scared that it could be covid19. When you look at these pictures of you in the hospital, what goes through your mind when you see yourself like that . I couldnt believe it affected me like that because i have no Health Conditions or medications or anything like that. I couldnt believe it hit me so bad. I thought if i ever did get it that it would just be like a normal cold or something and i would get over it but i was really surprised. What is it like to see your son in that condition and feel so helpless . It was a very upsetting experience. I didnt know what to do. I tried to stay positive and fighting to the last minute. I had to care for him, didnt show him my tears every 15 minutes all those days and nights. Wanted to make sure he was drinking, i wanted to keep conversation going for weeks and weeks. I tried to ask him how are you doing, tried to keep conversation going. I know that you had some symptoms as well. You havent been tested but had symptoms and quarantined yourself. What is your message to the younger folks in the country because this is hitting people, 25 of people hospitalized are under the age of 50. No matter what your age is you should be paying attention to the news and everything, make sure you are informed because this is a real problem. If you dont have any Health Conditions as you see with my case, i want everybody to make sure they are following social distancing guidelines, and responsible and not treating it as a joke because it is serious and needs to be taken care of properly. Im so glad you are joining us under better conditions right now. You look great. Icr packers fan. Lets hope you can watch some football this fall. Have a good day.

The study is if people in kansas dont follow social distancing and stay at home guidelines.
