Q: What did you mean when you said you should 'nationalize elections' & which 15 states are you talking about?
TRUMP: If a state can't run an election, I think the people behind me should do something about it. Look at Detroit, Pennsylvania, Atlanta -- horrible corruption on elections

Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."
