The country isnt just breaking records. Its blowing through them. Wearing the mask, they think its uncomfortable and annoying. You know whats really uncomfortable and annoying . When you die. Republican senators are calling on the administration to give biden Intelligence Briefings. Theres no legal basis.

According to another new report, not only will trump run for president again in 2024, he may announce it before the end of the year. I mean, the guy is 74. For petes sake, by 2024, hell be 78, which is exactly the right age for a president. Just a number, joe. You go get them, buddy. Drink that ensure. This mornings eye opener is presented by progressive. Making it easy to bundle insurance. Ive heard ensure comes in many flavors . Ive only seen chocolate and vanilla. Four years is a long time. A lot could change. Welcome to cbs this morning. All right. We begin with recordbreaking new numbers on the coronavirus that take this crisis into uncharted territory. Yesterday the u. S. Added more than 150,000 daily cases for the first time according to the covid tracking project. 1 in every 378 americans tested positive for the virus in the past week. And in the past month, the number of people hospitalized with the virus in the u. S. Has nearly doubled. Doctors and nurses are reporting shortages of essential protective equipment, some hospitals are also running out of beds and staff to treat Covid Patients. Our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud is at a testing site in suburban chicago as state and local leaders there consider new restrictions. Good morning to you. Is chicago headed for a new lockdown . Well, look, we dont know that just yet. The mayor declared a stayathome advisory for now. Doesnt have a lot of teeth to it in terms of enforcement. The governor of illinois is saying i may come back at you very soon with a stayathome order. Here at the testing site theyve already lined up. Theyll open at 7 00 a. M. Theyve been closing early because theyre running out of tests. And a lot of labs are telling testing sites, hey, listen, dont go over what we agreed to because were going to start getting backed up and we may have delays in testing like we had earlier on in the pandemic. I mentioned the governor of illinois. Its really the governors that are stepping up to the plate right now. Especially here in the midwest. A lot of them are saying, when i come back to you, youre not going to like what i have to say. With cases and hospitalizations rising, chicago is telling its residents to stay inside. Do not have guests over. Avoid unnecessary travel. And cancel your traditional thanksgiving plans. Reporter dr. Benjamin singer at Northwestern Memorial Hospital says the number of hospitalizations in chicago is fast approaching levels they havent seen since the worst days back in april. The pandemic is real. Its deadly. And we need strong cooperation within our communities. Reporter chicago, the nations Third Largest city, is among the first to announce a stayathome advisory. And it probably wont be the last. In states across america, governors from both parties are sounding the alarm. Given the silence from the white house. Listen to what theyre saying. The curve that we have flattened, right now, this curve is a Straight Line and it is straight up. We cant keep expecting the hospitals to meet the demand. Were running out of time. And were running out of options. Limit your social gatherings to just those of your immediate household. To the west now, california is the second state to record more than 1 million coronavirus cases. In utah, all of that states staffed icu beds are now full. So the governor has called nearly 200 traveling nurses. And in north dakota, they have just nine icu beds left statewide. One in every 83 residents tested positive this week. The system is so strained that the states republican governor issued an order clearing nurses who are infected with the virus to continue working with Covid Patients as long as those nurses are asymptomatic. But the Nurses Association says they are asking the governor to implement a mask mandate first. But he just wont do it. And the numbers are much, much worse than weve ever seen before. Thats dr. Ashish jha. She says with vaccines on the horizon, there is an end to this pandemic, and its in sight, but the worst is far from over for us. I understand the fatigue, but people really do have to pull it together. Were not talking about forever. Were just saying for the next couple of months. Those are the critical months. We hear you, doctor, loud and clear. He told us at the end of the interview that california and new york, for the most part, are keeping things under control. He pointed to them as models for other states to follow. As we continue on in this pandemic. Gayle . David, thank you. Dr. Anthony fauci is the director of the National Institute of allergy and infectious diseases. Also a member of president Trumps Coronavirus Task force. Good morning to you, dr. Fauci. Its very good to see you. Weve just done a piece where good morning, gayle. Good to be with you. Im so glad youre here. We all know the cases are climbing, things are getting out of control, and people are very afraid. Why is this happening again right now . You predicted it, though, earlier. You know, unfortunately, i did, gayle. There are a number of factors feeding into this. Our base line of infections all along has never gone down to a level that would allow you to be easily controllable when you get cases that soar up for a variety of reasons. Right now, as we end the cool season of the fall and soon to enter the cold season of the winter, that makes it very problematic because people out of necessity will be congregating indoors more than outdoors. This is a particular issue as were approaching the Holiday Season of thanksgiving. Ive heard you say the calvary is coming but it doesnt mean you put down your weapons. People are letting their guards down. You know, its understandable. I dont want to be critical of that, but we want to just plead with them to understand the dynamics of this outbreak. If you do that, well continue to soar. If we do the things that are simple Public Health measures, that soaring will level and start to come down. You add that to the help of a vaccine, we can turn this around. It is not futile. Dr. Jha has told us the testing we need in this country is far below what it needs to be. Do you agree with that, and what does that mean exactly . Well, i think what dr. Jha was saying is what many of us have been saying is that there is Community Spread right now. Which means that there are people in society who are infecting others. They dont have symptoms. They dont know theyre infected. The only way you can get at them is if you only test people who are symptomatic. You are going to miss the asymptomatic people who are silently spreading the outbreak. So we need to pull more testing into the community to get a feel and identify who in the community is spreading the infection because it isnt only a symptomatic person. I want to talk to you briefly about thanksgiving. Im changing my plans after listening to you. You are saying youre not even going to respond thanksgiving with your lovely daughters. You are keeping your thanksgiving celebration very small. If you are with a small group of people, do you need to wear a mask indoors . Somebody told me that even if youre in your house, you have to wear a mask. Is that true . You know, yes, it is true. Now, obviously, its kind of difficult to be eating and drinking at a dinner with a mask on. You cant do that. But to the extent that you can keep that mask on, i mean, nothing is going to be perfect in this. But if you are indoors and gathering with people, even if its a relatively small group, to the extent possible, keep the mask on, even if you are indoors. Now, obviously, the even if weve all tested even if weve all tested negative, dr. Fauci . Well, thats a different thing. I mean, then the risk goes way down. And then you make a risk assessment. You know, we always talk about things. Nothing is riskfree. But when you do a risk benefit ratio and say to yourself now, i just got tested. My husband or wife just got tested. Our children are coming in. They just got tested. Of course, its not 100 that they could have gotten infected from the time they got tested to the time they got there, but when you get that degree of minimization of risk, then you really use some common sense and say im willing to take that very, very small risk so i dont have to be Walking Around the house with a mask. People who say wearing a mask indoors, they are really talking about when you get into a setting where you really are unsure what the status of people are. But when families go the extra mile of either quarantining or getting tested, then i dont think you really have to say every moment youre in the house you have to have a risk. You have to use some common sense and make sure you look at what relative risks are because the relative risk is going to go way down if everyone has been tested or people have been quarantined. So its just really common sense in that regard. And before you go, i want to know how youre doing. You get death threats. You work 24 7. There are issues with the white house. I am wondering how youre holding up through all of this. I know its your job. I get it. But i want to know how youre holding up physically and mentally. Well, thank you for asking. Im actually doing fine. And the reason im doing fine is twofold. I have taught myself over the years to focus like a laser on what my goal is and what i need to do. And to me, thats a big thing. Its the health and safety and welfare of the American People. That driving force makes all that other stuff that youre talking about become peripheral noise that i dont Pay Attention to. And the other thing, i have a spectacular wife who is amazingly supportive of me and has been now for the last 36plus years. So im doing fine, but thank you for asking. We thank you, dr. Fauci. Thank you for taking the time today. Thank you. This morning, cbs news has projected, based on the hard count in the state of arizona, that president elect joe biden has won arizona. Mr. Biden now has 290 electoral votes and the popular vote count shows him ahead by more than 5 million. The Trump Campaign is still challenging the vote count in the closest states but the federal agency in charge of protecting Election Security released a statement saying, quote, there is no evidence that any Voting System deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised. The head of that agency has told associates he expects the president to fire him. According to reuters and politico. Paula reid is at the white house. Good morning. Good morning. Anthony, several advisers to President Trump tell cbs news the president is increasingly aware that he just cannot litigate his way to 270 electoral votes. But they also tell us the president wants to be seen as a fighter so he can continue to fundraise and pay down campaign debts. Now last night, the president elect, joe bidens new chief of staff, he did an interview where he laid out the risks of continuing to delay this transition. In his first interview since being named president elect joe bidens chief of staff, ron klain warned the trump administrations refusal to cooperate in the transfer of power will soon begin to have real impacts. Were in a covid crisis. Right now, right now there are officials inside the department of health and Human Services who are busy planning a Vaccination Campaign for the months of february and march when joe biden will be president. And so the sooner we can get our transition experts into meetings with the folks who are planning the Vaccination Campaign, the more seamless the transition from a biden presidency to a Trump Presidency can be. But like his boss, klain was optimistic about being able to work with the republicans. Spoken to some republican senators, some republican governors. Im not going to go into the names. He has not spoken though to senator mcconnell. Theyll have a working relationship when the time comes. Reporter President Trumps refusal to concede is, among other things, blocking president elect biden from getting access to classified Intelligence Briefings during the transition period. Klain said he was encouraged by the growing number of republicans who say that biden should at least get that access. Including the president s allies like Lindsey Graham and ted cruz. For the sake of protecting the country, you want whoever is going to assume that office to be aware of the significant threats because the first responsibility of any president is to keep the American People safe. Some republicans say the briefings should wait until all the votes are counted or recounted. Lets finish counting the votes. There will be plenty of time. Hes not president right now. Dont know if hell be president january 20th. But whoever is, will get the information. Reporter this morning, china reached out to president elect joe biden to congratulate him. Becoming the most recent world power to do so. But its nearly been a week since the results were called. And notably russia has not reached out to the incoming president. Historically foreign leaders have waited for the loser to concede before reaching out to the new president , but as weve seen, President Trump at this point appears to have no plans to admit defeat. Gayle . Paula, thank you. Former president barack obama is speaking to cbs news in his firstv interview since the 2020 election. Hes about to release his longawaited memoir called a promised land. Scott pelley interviewed him for 60 minutes and we got to sit down with him for cbs sunday morning. He reflected on the start of his administration and how his experience was very different from the transition that President Trump is blocking right now. When donald trump won, i stayed up until 2 30 in the morning and i then called donald trump to congratulate him. His margin of victory over Hillary Clinton wasnt greater than joe bidens margin over him. Yeah. But if you were listening to some of the talk radio that trump voters are listening to, if youre watching fox news, getting these tweets, those allegations are presented as facts. So youve got millions of people out there who think, oh, yeah, they must be cheating because the president said so. I think about john mccain calling. George and laura bush welcoming you and Michelle Obama to the white house. Could not have been more gracious. I remember you inviting donald trump to the white house. Ill never forget it because you said, i wish that you succeed because we want the country to succeed. What is at stake here . Well, look, joe biden will be the next president of the united states. Kamala harris will be the next Vice President. Theres no legal basis. Theres no hes getting support from members of the Republican Party who are not challenging him. And that has been disappointing. They, obviously, didnt think there was any fraud going on because they didnt say anything about it for the first two days. But theres damage to this. Because what happens is that the peaceful transfer of power, the notion that any of us who attain an elected office, whether its dog catcher or president , are servants of the people. Its a temporary job. Were not above the rules. Were not of about the law. Thats the essence of our democracy. And you can see more of our conversation this sunday on cbs sunday morning and Scott Pelleys interview with former president obama sunday night on 60 minutes. So i think cbs got a onetwo punch. Were very grateful for that. We were at the National Portrait gallery which is a very interesting setting. You have the portrait of president obama and the portrait of Michelle Obama. And the book, as ive mentioned a couple of times, is over 700 pages. So theres a lot of information to cover. So theres a lot of information. But he talks about the start of his presidency, the bumps along the way. Regrets hes had. Rediscovering life and love with michelle again. Its a great setting. That gallery is about legacy. Yes it is. Theres a little plaque next to every picture and its a legacy plaque. We all felt very proud to be ahead, why the airlines are planning for a rush of thanksgiving travelers, even though were being urged to stay home because of the coronavirus.

Tens of millions of americans will drive or fly for the thanksgiving holiday, despite the pandemic. According to aaa. Cbs news has learned the tsa expects to screen more than 6 Million People in the days ahead. Thats leading to concerns about an even bigger surge in the virus nationwide. Kris van cleave reports now on how families are responding. A socially distanced thanksgiving came early for Laura Douglas family celebrating outside in october. Now the numbers are really rising. Very, very sharply. And even just having it this coming weekend, i think we would have felt very threatened about getting together. There were fewer guests visiting family were spaced apart at separate tables and masks were worn. It allowed the family to be together but not too close together. My mother is a cancer patient. So shes at high risk. And we knew that there would be no way to spend time with my parents if we didnt figure out something that was very, very different. This year will be different. Aaas newly released thanksgiving travel forecast expects up to 50 million will travel, down at least 10 from last year. 95 will drive as people opt for lastminute trips and stay closer to home. Right now its really determining the factor of people decide to go or stay are the number of covid cases as they increase but also looking at state restrictions. Aaa believes those flying will drop nearly 48 , but airlines are gearing up for their busiest stretch since the start of the pandemic. This travel holiday comes as the cdc warns even small household gatherings are an important contributor to the rise in covid19 cases. 50 Million People hitting the road sounds like reason for concern, doesnt it . Its a big concern because again, when people mix from higher prevalence of covid to lower, you end up raising the level at the low covid places. Former cdc director dr. Thomas frieden. Because so many people may get together during thanksgiving at a time when covid rates are so high, we might see explosive spread through the month of december and the holidays would become a very unmerry christmas. We know millions of people are going to gather for thanksgiving. The cdc is urging people to keep those gatherings small to your immediate household or a small group of close contacts. Ideally who live in the same area you do. The cdc also recommends keeping a mask on when youre not eating trying to be outdoors if possible. If youre inside, open as many windows as you can to increase ventalation and stay out of tight or cramped spaces. For many of us that means staying out of the kitchen. Dont have to worry about me being in the kitchen, but i think its very important to keep emphasizing the advice that youre giving us, chris van sleeve. The best way to travel is by car with people that you know. But i want to take a minute to talk about air travel. Can you talk about the safety of air travel these days . Because a lot of people will be traveling, even though youre told stay home. But what about the safety of air travel . Is it okay . Absolutely. Weve seen a growing number of studies come out in the last month or so that reinforce that between the mask mandates that the airlines are enforcing and the ventilation systems on board. They have a hospital great hepa filter. The way they move air, refreshing cabin air every two to three minutes that the risk of spread is relatively low. So, keep in mind, you are getting into a metal tube with other people, but Research Continues to show that it is a low risk effort, at least from the gate to the gate. The places where you might run into risk is if you get if you let your guard down in the uber on the way to the airport or while at the airport or as youre getting to your destination after you get off the plane. You have to look at it as a whole process where youre on guard the entire time. But it appears, based on the research we keep saying, that the gate to gate experience if you will, on board the plane, is relatively low risk. Got it, kris van cleave, thank you very much. The most important thing in your arsenal these days is a mask. We can all get one of those, a variety of price ranges. Thanks again, kris. Prosecutors trying to keep Ahmaud Arberys accused killers in jail has offered evidence that one of the men used racial slurs online. Travis mcmichael and his father gregory appeared at a bond hearing yesterday.

Four astronauts are scheduled to blast off from the Kennedy Space center to the International Space station this weekend. Joint Spacex Nasa Mission called crew 1 is set for liftoff from florida at 7 49 eastern time tomorrow. Heres a look at launch pad 39a, at Kennedy Space center this morning. This mission will mark the start of regular crew rotation flights to the iss, using americanmade commercial spacecraft. Mark strassmann is there. How is it looking . Reporter good morning, anthony. Take a look. A much closer look now at the rocket sitting on legendary launch pad 39a, home to apollo liftoffs, to Space Shuttle launches, and now the spacex era. For the company, all the test flights are over. This is the first regular operational flight to carry people into space. Take a look now. Thats the falcon 9 rocket behind me on top is the crew dragon capsule. With this flight, spacex could solidify its place in the new commercial era of space. Commander Michael Hopkins and his crew arrived in florida by chartered jet. They plan to depart tomorrow by rocket ship. Were starting this new era where were going to rotate crews to the International Space station from american soils with our commercial partners like spacex, and so were very excited to be a part of that. Ignition. Liftoff, as the falcon 9 and crew dragon, go nasa. Go spacex. Godspeed. Reporter their mission follows this summers successful demonstration flight of crew dragon. Spacexs new ship. America no longer needs the russians to get to the space station. Even though we had the demonstration mission, and this is a certified vehicle at this point. Were still going to be doing a lot of firsts. Reporter crew dragon will carry four astronauts. More astronauts means more science. Aboard the 100 billion orbiting lab. Astronauts hopkins, shannon walker, and Soichi Noguchi of japan are all space flight veterans. Pilot Victor Glover is the rookie. Every single bit of the mission, it will be the first time i have been able to do that thing in space. Just getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, i dont know, every piece of the mission is going to be the first time i get to do something in space. Reporter glover is 44. The former navy pilot is the father of four girls. In the labs 20year history, hell become the first black astronaut to stay for a Long Duration mission. Does that mean something to you . It will once i get there. I try not to think about that too much. I think it is important for our Astronaut Corps and the accomplishments of our agency to represent the bueautiful variet of our country. Its important for kids to see someone they can relate to that way. Reporter on thursday, in teslas, the crew rehearsed their drive to the launch pad. The road to any launch is long and hard. Covid19 made this one harder. Thats why the crew named their spaceship resilience. It just felt right. Its been a tough year for everybody. For a lot of different reasons. And we felt like if the name of our vehicle could give a little hope, a little inspiration, put a smile on peoples face, then that is definitely what we wanted to do, and we felt like resilience was the name that did that. Reporter for tomorrow nights launch, weather conditions are considered 70 favorable. And for nasa and for spacex, this sixmonth mission and this moment are what they have been aiming for all along, tony, which is the start of regular scheduled crewed missions between florida and the space station. A very big deal. Mark, thank you very much. We like victor, dont we. The ultimate girl dad, i think. And resilience is very beautiful. I love how compartmentalized astronauts are. You ask them a question. Well talk about that tomorrow. Ill feel that when i get there. I think resilience is such a great word in all things. We needed that more than anything this year.

Here are a few stories we think youre talking about today. Heart pounding video shows a reporter on part of a bridge that collapsed. Not too long ago washed up here. Were backing up. Got to be careful on the live shots. Amber roberts tweeted shes thankful she and her photographer were not hurt. That bridge collapse was caused by severe flooding in North Carolina triggered by Tropical Storm eta that killed at least seven people. I would be getting off the bridge, not backing up. Rescue crews saved dozens of people from floodwaters at a camp site about 50 miles north of charlotte. Crews are going back this morning to search for those still missing.

After this attempt at a makeover, oh, my god, no way. Its now being called, tony, the potato head of pulens yeah. Look at tonys reaction. If you could get a tight shot of the face, it looks kind of picasso like. The eyes are in weird places. You wonder, as he was working on it, vlad, what was he thinking . This isnt the first work of art in spain to be damaged by an attempt at restoration. Earlier this year, a painting of the virgin mary in valencia was unrecognizable after not one but two failed repairs. A 15th century wood sculptural got a fluorescent makeover. One visitor told the guardian, you dont know whether to laugh or to cry. Cry. Cry. The restorer said, i thought they were the right colors. The neighbors liked them. So one of the most famous botched restorations, of course, became known as monkey christ. Thats the fresco at a Spanish Church that was lovingly repaired by a devout parishioner who had more faith than skill. Restoration work, it seems, is hard. Its not that hard if youre a proeffessional arltist. Thats almost criminal, but apparently, tourism is up because people want to see monkey christ. 16,000 tourists now to that city. Thanks.

Has broken its singleday record of coronavirus. More than 153,000 cases were reported yesterday. Just 10 days ago that the u. S. Topped 100,000 cases for the first time. Coronavirus hospitalizations also hit another record high surpassing 67,000 people. The situation is especially dire across the midwest where situations are happening. Both parties have announced measures to slow the spread. Officials are begging residents to take this stuff more seriously or more lockdowns may be on the way. As cases surge, schools across the country are scrambling to respond. Americas largest district new york city is on the brink of stopping in person learning. Right now, 2. 6 of tests in the city are positive. The mayor says if that number hits 3 , he will close Public Schools immediately. How schools across the nation are struggling to keep kids and teachers safe. There is no just if i indication not to try. Katie dempsy, a High School Image math teacher is desperate to resume. Is it far different than being in person . Absolutely. Two kids both with severe communication orders. Her older son is back in school full time. Her younger daughter is struggling in an allremote situation. Surprisingly, she hates to zoom. She wants to go back to school. We are terrified. A different story for this second grade teacher in florida. Two small children and an immuno compromised relative at hope. She returned to inperson, scared for her familys safety. I didnt sleep. Didnt eat. There was a lot of tears. Covid cases in children up 17 . And americas biggest School Districts are split. Inperson learning in houston with plans to switch to hybrid in las vegas and inperson learning put off in los angeles. The executive direct year of Staten Island hospital. Is it safe for teachers to go back . If you do it properly, can you safely have people in school but the reality is when you have certain populations where the incidents goes high, there is that concern of general spread because of the likelihood of more and more people having it is there. In new jersey, the most densely populated state in the country, the rate sits above 12 . Schools like here are all remote because of those numbers. The governor says he will not issue a statewide school shut down. Thank you. Talking to the governor asa hut hut hutchinson. Governor joins us now. You are in the position of many governors right now facing hospitalization reports. Case number records. I know you dont want to shut the economy down and impose new restrictions but you might have to. What are the red lines as you look at the unfolding crisis . We have been looking at this on day one as we take a focused effort to bring in our Hospital Team to look at it from a statewide perspective because you dont want to have to reduce elective surgeries that are so important in order to accommodate Covid Patients. We want that focused effort. We want to increase compliance with our mask mandate. Ive issued that in arkansas. Whenever you do that, you dont have to shut things down. We dont intend to shut our schools down. We have to keep them open for our you stoo dents but do it safely. Sounds like if people dont follow that mask mandate, following on that point, are you satisfied with the federal leadership when it comes to masks and social distancing from President Trump in we havent seen tweets or press conferences of that and in fact seems to be m modelling the opposite of what the cdc is saying. President trump and Vice President pence have done a very good job making sure we have the antiagain testing and gone into warp speed on vaccines. We could have got into conversation about wearing a mask. Now everyone is in the message of what is needed. It is not complicated what needs to be done. The three principals of wearing a mask and cleaning your hands. Are you ready to say the words president elect joe biden . Well, it is very likely that Vice President biden will be the next president of the united states. Ive indicated that you want to give time for the process to work because particularly in pennsylvania, there are some important constitutional issues that President Trump has raised those will not affect the outcome. They are not large enough percent number. What do you need to see before you turn from likelihood to congratulations president elect . Well, i think youve got to give it a little more time. It is getting close to that. You look back to 2000, the contested race. They did not ascertain a winner. They have not ascertained a winner. The media has ascertained a winner. Florida was one state with hundreds of votes. Now we are talking five states and tens of thousands of votes. It is not a comparable situation. Vice President Biden is a likely winner of this election. We are looking forward to helping him get prepared. It is important hes prepared as he looks at the likelihood of becoming president of the united states. Ive advocated for him to receive the intelligence briefing. The public needs to be patient as the preparation goes on for Vice President biden and the likelihood of him becoming president. The reason i press on this, the polls are showing republicans overwhelmingly not believing this was a free and fair election. That has a cost that goes beyond 2020, perhaps for future republican candidates. But governor but. Go ahead. Thats an important point. I dont believe we should undermine the election. Lets dont undermine the election. Lets make sure we have confidence in it and when it is conclusive, lets support it and get behind our president. 65 of the vote more than any other in arkansas including mr. Bill clinton. Maybe well see you in 2024. When we come back, well talk to cin first, it is 8 10.

Call or visit cbs news now projects president elect joe biden has won the state of arizona. He leads President Trump by around 11,000 votes there, with the vote count nearly complete. The victory extends the democratic majority in the electoral vote. Cindy mccain, wife of the late arizona senator john mccain, is a member of the biden transition advisory board. She was one of the biggest republican names to support the next president during the campaign. Cindy mccain joins us now from phoenix. Good morning. Thank you so much for being with us. Good morning. Joe biden becomes the first democrat in more than two decades to flip arizona. A lot of people think your endorsement played a big role in that. Why do you think the president elect was able to do this at this moment . Well, first of all, it wasnt just me. There were many of us that got behind joe biden, as you know. I think the time right now, people were looking for the opportunity to have compassion, to have empathy, to have leadership, to have someone that put country before party, and thats who joe biden was. This white house has totally lost track of that completely. So thats why. Cindy, many republicans are not publicly acknowledging joe bidens victory. Have you talked to any of the Republican Leadership about this, and do you think this might change anytime soon . Oh, of course, it will change, and for this reason. Because we have gone through the process. We have determined that nothing illegal or anything else happened, and hes been declared the winner. So with all due respect to those who were on the Opposing Side of all this, its time we get behind joe biden as our next president. And make sure that he has the transition money, he has the opportunity to meet with the people with regards to the pandemic, et cetera. So we can get this ball rolling and make sure he hits the ground running in january. One of the people who has not yet congratulated joe biden yet, as we know, is senator Lindsey Graham, who was a friend of your late husband, who is also a friend of joe bidens. Have you spoken with him . . I have spoken to lindsey, but not about this. I have a new grandbaby so thats why he called me. Lindsey, its his own prerogative. Hes a good friend of mine, like a member of my family, so i love him regardless. As a member of your family, cindy mccain, i think you need to take him in a private room and have a private chat with senator graham, but people are listening to you. But i like in the letter that you wrote with the paper in arizona the other day, you said, i know what its like to lose, when the outcome doesnt go your way, but i also remember johns example back in 2008, and the example that he set. President obama also mentioned john mccain in a very gracious way. He is certainly in his book. Can you remind us what john mccain did back then and why its important we follow that again in 2020 . Well, as you know, we lost, but john believes, like i think all americans do, that its time to move on. There was a free and fair election. There are winners and losers. We knew that chance at the beginning of it. And we did not prevail. But its very important to remind the American People that we must come together, heal our differences, and move on for the good of the country. And thats really not only the message my husband gave but what he truly believed in his heart. You said he said democracy is at stake here, and democracy should always prevail. Mmhmm. Correct. Youre exactly right. He believed that. He lived his entire life by the code of conduct, and the belief in free and Fair Elections and democracy, most of all. Thats the gracious good of our country. As we said, youre part of the president elects transition advisory team. Has the transition been affected in any way as far as you can tell by President Trumps refusal to concede to this point . Oh, no. President elect biden has moved on. The Transition Team is in full force right now. Were all working together to make sure that he has an administration that represents all people. Its really fun to be a part of it, and its fun to watch happen as well. You know, we should also point out that 72 Million People voted for president donald trump. That is no small number. So he clearly has strong support in this country. What do you think joe biden needs to do to reach out to them . He says hes going to do that, but what would be your message on that . Well, i dont need to give him a message because he always practiced that. He and my husband worked across the aisle for many, many years. Thats who joe biden is. So i dont believe anyone needs to tell him. Hes going to do what he knows is right, and that is Work Together for the good of the country. Cindy mccain, thank you so much for joining us this morning. We really appreciate it. Good luck with the transition. Ahead, John Dickerson on the strange aftermath of this election. Youre watching cbs this morning.

His confessionry creations hes best known for. I spoke to him in 2001 when he was only 81 about his sweet legacy. You could have picked anything. You picked pie. I dont know. I painted these 8 or 10 pies on plates and thought no one will take me seriously now and i couldnt leave it alone. One of those sold for 8. 46 million at auction. I didnt know their name. They are used all over the place. He came new york in 1961 to try to get a dealer. He lives in california. No one would take him. One dealer, allen stone, he showed up on his doorstep. He said, i thought he was nuts. He showed his work. The rest is history. When asked what he would do on his 100th birthday, he said going to work. Piece of pie. Im going to put up a picture of crazy covid precautions a the a soccer game in northern ireland. A covid disinfection pod. I cannot imagine this is that effective.

Thats right. Our lead National Correspondent doing double duty this morning. And a preview of this mornings report about a championship boxer who was feared for her strength in the ring. Kristi martin is her name. The first female boxer to appear on sports illustrated. In 2010, she was shot by her husband, she nearly died. Here is the report. This is the fight that made Kristi Martin a worldwide sensation. 1996 event headlined by mike tyson. Her nose bloodied and she stole the show. The most profitable bloody nose in history. Then made the cover of sports illustrated. She won 49 fights with her sights set on 50. Behind the scenes. Her husband, also her boxing coach was abusive and controlling. I keep thinking the people who are watching this say how does a woman so powerful, how is she not able to stand up for her self at home . I know people think that. I didnt have the same mental strength to overtake him. When she tried to end the marriage, he went on the attack beating and stabbing her. Alababam, just like that, th switch flipped and i told him, you cannot kill me. He stands over her and shoots her in the chest. The bullet missed her heart by three inches. He would stand trial for attempted murder. Defense Attorney Says it was kristi attacked him. The way jim described it was that she was aggressive. He was constantly afraid of physical attacks by her. She became famous beating the hell out of people. Exactly. So pretty plausible that she could beat up her husband . Absolutely. It is a remarkable story. You have a world famous boxer and she could still be in an abusive relationship. That isnt about physical strength, it is mental abuse. Despite what happened in that courtroom, she says she already won. When i got up off the floor and out of the house, that was my 50th win. Shes shot in the chest. How does she survive that and what does her exhusband say happen . Incredible. She told us she played dead on the floor. She hears him get in the shower. Grabs the keys, the gun which was hers. She flags down a passer by. The husband says it was selfdefense. Acting in selfdefense but he hops in the shower. A lot of questions there.

We are living we are living through an historic moment in our country in an election that has been contentious and all during a global pandemic. President trump still refuses to concede. Cbs political analyst has covered three president ial transfers of power. It took a moment for us to reflect on whats happening this time. This week in the drama, the a actors seem to be changing costumes on cage. The president elect acting president ial. The previous president shouldering his nearly 800page memoir on the marketplace. We have something close to it. The sitting president thinned to a shadow. President trump was out of the limelight. He still hammered away on twitter but other than attending a properly rev rent ceremony on veterans days, he was out of camera frame. His team working to find sufficient fraud to overturn hundreds of thousands of votes. In the meantime, the president elect in it self notable. In the past four years, the president has done nothing expected. President elect created a task force and named the teams and a chief of staff whose history in washington suggests an orderly operating model after the roller derby carnival of the trump years. Enthusiastic, they might refer to him as joe from scranton. When Prime Minister gushed. Can flowed overall the things that have traditionally united the uk and the u. S. Republicans werent yet gushing about the new guy, backing their president. They know better and how poisonous it is to say that. Still they say nothing. Some is have been exhaling since saturday wonder if they should tighten their breath again. Those who feel understood by trump are uneasy ease on his way out. The president elect was asked. It is all going to come to fruition on january 20. Between now and then, we hope an expectation is that the American People do know and understand there has been a transition. I think the majority of the people who voted for the president , they understand we have to Work Together. How do you expect to work with the republicans if they dont even acknowledge you as president elect. They will. Instead of turning up the heat, he decided to turn it down. This was something new. The office created by one where the occupant would cool public passions rather than inflamed them and also to note, the president elect did not tweet about it. Garrett nook now, the John Dickerson nook. Wonderful and elegant distillation of everything were seeing right now. It does make me wonder if we have been here before as a country. We have never been here before as a country, because we have never had a president who says the election was fraudulent. I mean, thats whats different here. Mitch mcconnell said the president is looking into fraud. No, the president has said basically the election was stolen, and we have never had a president treat the democratic process so cheaply. Whats the impact of that, john . The impact of treating the process so cheaply is that going forward, people wont believe in the new administration and they wont believe in the democratic process. And also, it undermines the members of the president s party who know better and who were elected by the same democratic process. So but not all hope is lost because there could be a situation where you might have a concession speech, but even if the president doesnt do that, you have republicans who some day might come forward and say this was a free and fair election. And the results are legitimate. John, we keep hearing the word unprecedented with this president , from the very beginning, actually. We had cindy mccain earlier on today, and she said john mccain said democracy always prevails, will prevail. D you think thats true this time, too . Yes, because basically the process is going forward, but that is the question that hangs in the balance. And it shouldnt hang in the balance, but its whats up in the air, and the important thing to remember here is that when you make a claim of the kind the president is making, that this is a fraudulent election, you have to have evidence. You have to have pictures or it didnt happen and he only has shadow puppets. Burning the furniture of democracy, as you put it. Well said. Well be back with a look at all that and lets take a look at all that mattered this week. I just think its an embarrassment.
