Trump admits why he won’t accept the 2020 election results. John Iadarola and Jayar Jackson break it down on The Damage Report.

There is no evidence of widespread corruption in mail-in voting that would delay the November results for “years,” and critics have accused the president of assailing such voting in order to undermine the results of the presidential election. Just yesterday, Trump appeared to reverse course on such voting, encouraging Floridians to vote by mail. Trump claimed in an interview with Fox & Friends that Nevada and New Jersey both present proof that mail-in voting gives way to widespread fraud and corruption. Fox host Pete Hegseth threw back to the 2016 election by having Trump respond to Hillary Clinton’s allegation that Republicans are seeking to “sabotage” the upcoming election by attacking voting by mail." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

With so much that’s happened this year in Lebanon–and the world–it’s easy to forget how massive the crowds once were, as seen in these protest tours we did in downtown Beirut late last year. The occupation of public spaces (and privately owned parking lots) was unprecedented, not just in Beirut but across the country. Although there have been many protests here before, what was different this time is that they were not organized by political parties, but largely by civil society groups and activist organizations that set up their own tents to discuss the country’s future. It felt like a true agora of democracy, people finally taking power into their own hands after so many years of oppression and dysfunction. I was so excited, I could barely contain myself." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Rep. Rashida Tlaib wins reelection! John Iadarola and Jayar Jackson break it down on The Damage Report.

While it could be weeks before a final vote count is known, Tlaib’s margin with most precincts reporting was 66 percent to 34 percent of the vote on Wednesday morning. Tlaib’s seat was considered the most vulnerable among members of the so-called Squad, as the congresswoman faced off against a more or less unified Detroit political establishment and the ire of President Donald Trump. Tlaib’s presumed win comes alongside a host of down-ballot wins by progressives, including Karen McDonald for Oakland County prosecutor. Michigan progressives, crushed by the 2018 defeat of Abdul El-Sayed and the 2020 defeat of Bernie Sanders in the state’s critical March primary, could be seeing a revival of sorts. #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

It will go away like things go away. And my view is that school should be open.” Coronavirus case counts in the U.S. have been averaging approximately 60,000 per day in recent weeks — a total which does not support the president’s claim that the virus is disappearing." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

After seven meetings, totaling more than a dozen hours, the top Democratic and White House negotiators are not just walking through their disagreements, but putting offers on the table, trading proposals and to a small degree, starting to make concessions. They've even agreed on a deadline for a deal -- the end of this week. Bottom line: There is still a long way to go and an agreement to a timeline to reach an agreement -- one that is already one week after the initial deadline -- isn't much on its face. But what's happening behind the scenes is a signal things are actually starting to kick into gear. What to watch: Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows will be back on Capitol Hill for negotiations. What was put on the table The Tuesday meeting between Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and the top White House negotiators, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Mark Meadows, the White House chief of staff, was by far the most productive of all the meetings up to this point, according to both sides." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Lacy Clay, whose family has represented the St. Louis-area congressional district for more than 50 years. Clay dominated Bush among mail-in and absentee ballots, leading some outlets to prematurely call the race, but Bush surged back with a commanding election day lead, narrowly topping Clay by three points when all were counted. Bush was among the original Justice Democrat recruits in 2018, but lost her first challenge by 20 points. A registered nurse and pastor, she made a second run this cycle, again with the backing of Justice Democrats, the progressive group best known for recruiting Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. “It is historic that this year, of all the years, we are sending a Black, working-class, single mother, who’s been fighting for Black lives since Ferguson, all the way to the halls of Congress,” Bush said in a victory speech. #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Why it matters: Maxwell has been charged with multiple counts of allegedly helping Epstein sexually abuse minor girls. She was arrested in New Hampshire in early July. * Epstein took his own life while in law enforcement custody last August. The cause of death was suicide by hanging, per official autopsy results. "Her friend or boyfriend was either killed or committed suicide in jail," Trump told Axios' Jonathan Swan in the "Axios on HBO" interview last week. * "She's now in jail. Yeah, I wish her well. I'd wish you well. I'd wish a lot of people well. Good luck. Let them prove somebody was guilty." * "Her boyfriend died in jail and people are still trying to figure out how did it happen. Was it suicide? Was he killed?”" #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Led by billionaire hedge-fund manager Robert Mercer, they poured eight figures into a pro-Trump super PAC. They plugged Cambridge Analytica, the trendy data company they bankrolled, into Trumpworld. And in a staffing shake-up that helped propel Trump to the White House, they facilitated the Republican businessman's hiring of three Mercer acolytes: Citizens United President David Bossie as deputy campaign manager, pollster Kellyanne Conway as campaign manager, and Breitbart executive chairman Steve Bannon as his campaign CEO. Flash forward to 2020. Trump's reelection campaign is imperiled. Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, like Hillary Clinton four year ago, enjoys significant leads in polls. But this time, the Mercers' political machine, led by patriarch Robert and daughter Rebekah, is effectively idled. And it's unlikely the family will ignite it between now and Election Day, five people who know the media-averse Mercers told Insider. "The Mercers' involvement would be invaluable," said businessman Doug Deason, a top Trump fundraiser in Texas, a normally rock-solid Republican state that Biden has a chance of winning. "It would certainly help. You never have enough resources in a campaign.” Texas businessman Toby Neugebauer, a Republican megadonor in his own right, told Insider that he texted with Rebekah Mercer a couple of weeks ago but the conversation wasn't about Trump." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

How do feel about that? Because again, it feels like we're kind of all being herded in this one direction. And yet a lot of this technology seems to also be owned by some strange characters that have financial interests, even some of the institutions. I'm just a little hesitant to put untested things in my body without knowing. Is this just another thing we need to be wary of, going forward? JEANINE PIRRO (FOX NEWS HOST): Ditto — that means yes. Look, the president is doing everything that he can, Operation Warp Speed. And that's Donald Trump — make it fast, don't tell me you can't do this in this amount of time. But, we just spent $2 billion to get 100 million vaccines. I mean, who're you going to vaccinate? I don't want a vaccine. I want a therapeutic. You know, until you tell me that that vaccine is safe — and only time will tell — until you tell me what the long -term consequences of that vaccine are, I'm not interested in putting it in my body. And by the way, I'm older, and I probably should be one of the people to be vaccinated. But I won't. I'm not going to allow them to do that to me. And then the question is, will you be forced to do it? You know." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

During an interview with the President Wednesday on Fox & Friends, Kilmeade swiped at Obama for invoking politics during his eulogy last week for the civil rights icon. “Many were taken aback when President Obama used a eulogy for Congressman Lewis to really seem to make a campaign speech — one which was pretty much going after you, and clearly talking politics, and not much about Congressman Lewis,” Kilmeade said. “Gerrymandering, and getting rid of the filibuster. It made me think: Who is having harder time getting over the 2016 election? Hillary Clinton or President Obama? And do you agree that seemed like a campaign speech and less of a eulogy?”" #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

The message comes in the midst of a contentious union election at an Amazon warehouse in Bessemer. And while Biden stopped short of an explicit endorsement of the fledgling Bessemer union, he was broadly enthusiastic about the benefits of collective bargaining. “I made it clear during my campaign that my policy would be to support unions organizing and the right to collectively bargain,” Biden said in the statement. “I’m keeping that promise.”" #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Many Twitter users noted that a gold Trump statue would seem to violate biblical commandments against idolatry, and it drew comparisons to the golden calf idol destroyed by Moses in the Old Testament." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks
