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

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

[cheers and applause] yesterdayped it off by leading the confirmation of .udge amy coney barrett the rule of law has no greater champion. toneed south carolina reelect senator lindsey graham for six more years. [cheers and applause] in a landslide. [cheers and applause] [applause] senator graham already knows, and you deserve to know, after 150 years of nine judges on the , 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. [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

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 is going to scare you. it's going to scurry about crime commies and scary about everything. we are tired of being scared in this country, or tired being scared in the state prints time to come together as people. i hope my campaign, my campaign that's built on hope that folks will see that and see it's time for a new day. mr. harrison thank you again for seeing us tonight. keep in your don't move we have more to come. who will speak with senator lindsey graham we come back right after a short break. specs for the countries most port and senate races. >> and challenger jamie harriso harrison. subic i will fight for you as hard as i fight for. [inaudible] a live t discussion on the issues important to you, the pandemic, the economy, education from your local election headquarters. south carolina chamber of commerce and next our media, the u.s. senate race, south carolina allied candidate conversation. >> once again good evening and thank you for joining us. we are coming to you live from the studio in spartan

where he is switching his position i think lindsey graham is one of the most fascinating politicians outas there because he had a very short-lived run for the presidency in 2016 and called president trump a religious bigot that is race baiting now one of his closestis allies. he has undergone a major evolution the past few years. always conservatives in south carolina were skeptical machining immigration reform and part of the gang of eight and now he is trumps ally and now underperforming with republicans now the face of the confirmation hearings for judge barrett helps to solidify his standing. almost every question and that debate he would turn back about judges in the supreme court. >> and harrison wanted to focus on coronavirus and what he could do to fix it. it was not supposed to be as competitive and a lot of that is credit to the strong campaign jamie j harrison with the state party chairman in south carolina and used to work for jim clyburn of course south carolina has a fraught racial history and south carolina is the first state to havewo two black senators the place wher

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

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

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

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.

first lindsey graham is in the fight of his political life in this. traditionally republican state of south carolina. with the president's diagnosis of covid, it has brought the coronavirus back to the forefront of the campaign trail really. harrison, jamie harrison as you mentioned, he brought his own plexiglass as extra protection especially since lindsey graham is close with the president, spends a lot of time with him and so many people in washington being diagnosed with covid in recent days. lindsey graham as chair of the judiciary committee wanted to focus on the upcoming confirmation fight of amy coney barrett when he was asked at the debate last night about coronavirus, this is how he answered. take a look. >> we're not going to stop doing our job in washington as chairman of the judiciary committee, i promise you, we're going to get judge barrett on the court safely. >> thank you. >> the question about the coronavirus. not judge barrett or the supreme court. >> no. we're not going to blame the president. we shouldn't blame the president, we s

lindsey graham is trying to scare people. he's talking about chaos and riots and those type of things. it's sad when somebody's been in washington, d.c. for 25 years and they can't run on their record. they can't talk about the things they've been able to achieve and do. that's because -- i know why he's now opposed to a senator in d.c. because he is the senator from d.c. he's forgotten the people of south carolina and only cares about the political games in washington. >> jaime harrison, democratic candidate for senate in south carolina, thank you very much for joining us once again tonight. >> thank you, lawrence. take care. >> thank you. >> and when we come back, jon ossoff, who is trying to help a candidate pick up a senate seat in georgia who is now accused of a racial remark about vice presidential candidate kamala harris. to higher levels of cleanliness. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ the expertise that helps keep hospitals clean, is helping keep businesses clean too. look for the ecolab science certified seal. who trust in our perfo

senator lindsey graham. did they raise like $100-million? you are the new ted cruz in this election cycle going up against bozo with $100-million? >> those two ladies were trying to intimidate me. some showed at my house and broke my window. i will be stuck up here getting the judge confirmed. i am more determined than i have ever been to make sure judge barrett gets on this court next monday and take her to the floor this weekend. i will manage the bill. my answer to those two ladies is to put this fine woman on the supreme court where she needs to be. 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

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

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

host: let me play feel the comments of lindsey graham. the most recent things we are hearing. on handlinganning the hearings beginning tomorrow. [video clip] askeduary 2019, i was what would you do if there is an opening? wasugust of this year, i asked by nbc if there is an opening on the supreme court, what would you do? we will see what the market bears. i am going to lead the charge to confirm judge amy barrett to the court, and i can tell you this. if chuck schumer and democrats were in charge, they would be doing the same thing. we have had 19 nominations in an election year, 17 of the 19 have been confirmed when the president's of the same party as the senate. when it comes to democratic judges, give them a fair shake. -- i gave them a fair shake. comes to republicans, my colleagues want to destroy them. i am hoping this hearing does not turning -- does not turn into the kavanaugh debacle. we are moving forward. we are doing nothing unusual here in terms of how the senate operates. host: siobhan hughes, he hopes it won't turn into a debacle. what are some issues that cou

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

. >> 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

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

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 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 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

i always say there was a lindsey graham 1.0 and now we see this lindsey graham 2.0 and he's feckless, he doesn't stand up for the state, he is only concerned about his own political power. this is a man, jonathan, that hasn't done a town hall in person in this state in three years and that old adage that all politics are local is true and he's going to see on november 3rd that when you forget the people that you represent they won't forget you and they're going to vote him out on november 3rd. >> jaime, before i let you go, i wanted to get your reaction to something that senator graham said earlier this morning on fox news. have a listen, i will ask you about it on the other side. >> we must win this election, keep the senate, because if they win they're not going -- it's not going to be about a health care debate, they're going to structurally change the country, the parade of who are i believe so that come if we lose the house, senate and white house is unbelievable. >> jaime, had a raid of horribles. >> jonathan, this is what i've told the folks here ins lindsey graham is trying to

. >> so could lindsey graham lose his seat in the senate? new polls show that is a real possibility. and remarkably they show a close race for president trump too. in south carolina. i'll speak with his challenger. jamie harrisson. next. rakuten is easy to use, free to sign up and it's in over 3,000 stores. i buy a lot of makeup. shampoo, conditioner. books, food travel shoes stuff for my backyard anything from clothes to electronics. workout gear. i even recently got cash back on domain hosting. you can buy tires. to me, rakuten is a great way to get cash back on anything you buy. shop. get cash back. repeat. sign up today and get cash back with rakuten. >>> republicans urging president trump to condemn white supremacy. so far they're not getting anywhere. here is south carolina senator tim scott. the only black republican in the senate. >> i think he misspoke. in response to chris wallaces comment asking what he wanted to say. i think he misspoke and correct it. if he doesn't correct it i guess he didn't misspeak. >> joined by lindsey grah

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

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

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

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

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

graham, on the left and the right, voters have a distrust for lindsey graham because he's changed position so many times on many important issues. and he is a symbol of washington. he's been around washington forever. south carolina voters don't like washington. you have an exciting new face that's come along here who has some fresh new ideas. and i think the recipe on election day for jaime harrison is a surge in particular white suburban female voters, older voters who are upset about president trump's handling of covid, and a lot of new young voters who are coming along. as i said earlier, craig, i think if you're an incumbent and you're below 50% and heading into election day, you're in serious trouble, and graham is. >> i've enjoyed this conversation, gentlemen, thank you both. former governor jim hodges, thank you. rob godfrey, thanks to you as well. that does it for me on a friday. report reports starts after a short break. orts starts after a short break. every emergen-c gives you a potent blend of nutrients so you can emerge your best with emergen-c. i remember herwho was because

graham.com. >> lindsey graham, lindsey graham, lindsey graham.com,.com, help me, help me, help mee. >> you need to have my back, please, lindsey graham.com. >> trevor: god dam it, man, lindsey doesn't sound like is he running for senate, he sounds like he is being held hostage by somali pirate, help me, help me, sen money, they said they are the cap pain now it is sad to watch because lindsey graham has basically turned fox news into one long infomercial for his campaign. although fox news usually airs ads for adult diapers so they are used to seeing a grown man crapping his pants. and i love how when you cut his deses operation together it sounds look a brand new cli hit. >> lindsey graham.comk lund see graham.com help me, help me, lindsey graham.com. >> but at least lindsay and the republicans are still ahead in south carolina. because in iowa republican senator joni ernst is trailing a couple points behind her democratic challenger theresa greenfield. and it doesn't help ernst that at their last debate she failed to answer a farming question that apparently everyone in iowa should

just one other thing on the lindsey graham story. this could really hurt lindsey graham. lindsey graham has an unexpectedly competitive race. even in south carolina against jamey harrison who's had a ton of dough to spend against him, lindsey graham really needs trump's troops to come out and vote for him. and they're getting encouragement from those comments on fox news. >> where little is said by accident. thank you for that. our thanks to susan page, to peter baker, to dr. kavita patel. our big three on a friday night as we at long last head into a weekend. our thanks. >>> coming up for us, can donald trump win over more voters who don't happen to be white men? our next two guests may be uniquely qualified to take on these questions. >>> and later, last time around he made a shocking and early prediction that donald trump was going to win the presidency. tonight we're going to ask michael moore on live television how he's feeling about the race right about now. all of it as "the 11th hour" is just getting underway on this friday night. z a i feel like we're forgetting

we heard lindsey graham talk about we could have pushed this through but we decided to hold hearings. tell us what's normal here and what's abnormal here about this process? >> i think what's abnormal about it is to do it this fast at a time when the senate has become so contentious. yes, it's true, as many republicans pointed out that there were times in the past where the time from nomination to confirmation was very short. but in modern times it's been very much longer, so this is certainly compressed. but, lester, you know, the people who support her nomination make no bones about it. the republicans are rushing to do this while they still control the senate and while their president is still in the white house. that's really what this is all about, but it certainly is a compressed time frame, no question about that. supreme go to our senior court nominations for more than 30 years. andrea, both sides, as we noted earlier, really sticking to their kind of prepared talking points here. democrats obviously wanted to focus on the vulnerability of the affordable care act. all of this

the lindsey graham race is really in flux, a really tight race. those are two things to think about, the money and the policy playing a part in the races. >> very interesting. let's hear from some voters directly. ali velshi, you're in detroit. you've been watching the hearings along with voters. how is it playing out there? >> reporter: well it's interesting because i'm out every weekend talking to voters in a different swing state. for the last three weekends it's either been ruth bader ginsburg's passing, the appointment of amy coney barrett and now heading into these hearings. you know, from the perspective of voters they have a sense of how the supreme court affects their life, not just their political principles. here's what a few voters told me. i'm talking to independents, democrats and republicans. >> they basically choose many of our fundamental rights. i'm very afraid now about women's rights, about the rights of the lgbtq community, about the affordable healthcare act. >> that's a life-time appointment for the next 40, 50 years. we hav

lindsey graham has down an in-person towel hall in this state in almost three years. every other night you find him on fox news with sean hannity. folks back home take note of that. taking note their hospitals are closing, roads are crumbling. so many issues here are being left not addressed, and they want somebody to focus like a laser on issues they're dealing with on a day-to-day basis. >> add to that, you mentioned the town halls he's backed out of and also backed out of the debate this past weekend. told our affiliate isn't south carolina saying, wyff, needed to be postpone due to votes in the senate including judge amy coney barrett. do you think south carolinians are reading that the way you just expressed? >> alex, because in lindsey graham's mind south carolina almost comes second to his political interests in washington, d.c. this is the problem. the senate vote he's talking about, it's senate hearing he's talking about, it's a hearing that he set. you know, he agreed to this date for the debate on the 21st. and so he set a conflicting date for this hearing.

the senate race, after lindsey graham's democratic opponent, jaime harrison, shatters an all-time fund-raising record. the question is, how nervous should the senior senator be? it's "way too early" for this. good morning, and welcome to "way too early," the show that thinks lebron making a pretty strong case for greatest of all time. i'm kasie hunt on this monday, october 12th. we will start with the news. >>> today marks a week since president trump was discharged from walter reed medical center. but so many details of his recovery are still unknown. in an extensive interview on fox yesterday, the president claimed that he is now immune to the virus. >> the note that you have revealed from your doctor, which says you are no longer considered a transmission risk -- does this suggest you no longer have covid, sir? >> yes. and not only that, it seems like i'm immune. i passed the highest test, the highest standards, and i'm in great shape. and i have to tell you, i feel fantastically. i really feel good. and i even feel good by the fact that, you know, the word immunity means something, having

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

graham the republican senator lindsey graham the chairman of the senate committee on the judiciary since 2019 and he set out the opening remarks including a breakdown of the experience in publications of amy kone and i did a little bit of personal detail about that we then went to dianne feinstein who is a democrat she's the ranking senator on the committee and at this point i want to bring in alison fisher who's joining us live from capitol hill and you were telling us before that the democrats were having to be very careful about how they handled the questioning of this but it sounds very much from what dianne feinstein was saying that she's essentially setting the guidelines already she started talking about the affordable care act that's going to be negotiated discussed at some point in november and if amy tony barrett gets appointed she's going to have an influence on that. well a couple of interesting things 1st of all lindsey graham acknowledging the real politic of this moment the 22 members on the senate judiciary committee there are 12 republicans 10 democrats and he said that

what's the situation with lindsey graham's seat. that's lindsey graham of south carolina, what's the south carolina senate race look like? guest: the south carolina senate has had some attention over the last couple months. we rank that is tilted republican with one data point away from a pure tossup. it's a very competitive race in south carolina, he's running , who isjamie harrison by all accounts a phenomenal candidate. officever run for public but has proven to be an amazing fundraiser. he holds the record for the largest fundraising call of any senate candidate in history. speakerery compelling and has an amazing story. he's really been able to put lindsey graham's feet to the fire in south carolina. this is a great example of that kind of second-tier of races that we were talking about earlier in states that democrats have no business winning in but are somehow putting themselves someposition to eke out wins. the president's support has dropped in a state like south carolina which he won by 14 .oints in 2016 so he's clinging o

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...
