Do they have reason to worry?

You had the president of the United States at a GOP convention just a couple months ago having everyone raise their right hand and swear to, quote, cheat like hell.

So, yeah, there's reasons.

Now, he was saying it in the context of, look, Democrats cheat, and I want you all to pledge you're going to cheat just like Democrats do.

I don't think anyone takes this as a serious open admission that he's going to cheat.

But the president has long-advanced theories that are simply contrary to the fact that millions of undocumented immigrants are voting, that mail-in ballots are fraudulent, that California officials doctored the results to fit whatever desire they want.

There's no evidence to back this up.

And then it goes to the courts and gets tied up and we don't get a new Congress?

Donald Trump's name is not on the ballot, or is it, kind of?

Well, it's certainly not literally on the ballot, although he keeps telling people, pretend my name's on the ballot because in Trump world, he succeeds.

He's a winner.

Everything he does turns to gold.

And so if he's on the ballot, the Republicans will triumph.

Of course, that's not what the polls are suggesting.

This is a president who promised to bring down prices.

How will this affect the balance of power in the House or Senate? I know Democrats think this is their big opportunity, but it's not like some Democrats have run the best campaigns either.

What do we mean by targeted advertising?

You know, the Internet, when you don't pay for a video that you watch, almost always that is provided to you because they're selling your information somewhere.

You know, I obsess about watching highlights of my Michigan football team.

And when I watch those videos, there are people buying that information.

Suddenly I get targeted for ads.

This case before the Supreme Court tomorrow stems from this 1988 law.

It came when Robert Bork was nominated to the Supreme Court by Ronald Reagan.

I mean, you know, it's hard to keep up with all that.

All right, let's talk about the divide and how states are recognizing this day.

So there are about 30 states, along with the federal government, that have this as an official holiday, Columbus Day, to honor Christopher Columbus.

It was 534 years ago today, supposedly, that he landed in either modern-day Haiti or the Bahamas or the Dominican Republic, somewhere there.

And the question then is how you honor this.

It's 17 states that call it Indigenous People Day.

I mean, the facts... are clear that Columbus's journey to what is now North America certainly transformed the globe and certainly changed things.

And obviously there were some things that were good and there were many things that weren't.

Can they share one day or would they be better off maybe just having two separate days far apart?

With Lindsey Graham gone and Mitch McConnell still away, how does that change the math in the Senate, especially if big votes come up?

Steve, they had a three-vote margin.

Now they've got a one-vote margin, Republicans, that is, until McConnell can return.

And while they can fill Graham's seat pretty quickly with an appointment from the South Carolina governor, there are things right on the calendar this week.

I mean, renewal of the FISA bill, the surveillance law that the government uses to spy on people.

There's a huge Pentagon budget, double what it was in the past.

which is a very tightly contested bill.

Could that flip a vote or would leadership just make sure a vote doesn't come up?
