Reporter the Assembly Speakers press secretary told me they have no information on which legislators might have gone to the conference. The independent voter project told reporters it would not release the legislators names. One of the groups, key missions, stresses accountability and election reform. Its likely to impact the trust that the voters placed in these elected legislators at the time of their election. Reporter its a case of do as i say, not as i do. Its just ill thought out, and i dont think theres any excuse that they have cabin fever, or theyre tired of it all. We all are. So its very hippo critical to expect the public to do these sort of things. Optics are a good statement about ethics you. Want to lead with example. Reporter an example that is not hitting home with constituents. Well, they live in a different world than we do. They like to pass on the rules, but not live by the rules.

President elect joe biden got a National Security briefing today, but the briefing came from outside experts, because President Trump has blocked bidens access to his administration. Meantime, the president elect has also named more of his Incoming Administration. More tonight from ray bogan. Reporter joe biden met with diplomatic, defense, and Intelligence Experts this afternoon. Its a do it yourself approach for a president elect who does not yet have access to classified briefings. Until the Incoming Administration is made official in the eyes of the program government, democrats are counting down the days to binds inauguration. Long National Nightmare is about to come to an end on january 20th at noon. Because the most existential threat to our democracy, our values, our american way of life, has been defeated, decisively. Reporter the Biden Transition Team named key members to the Incoming Administration. Campaign manager jenn omalley dill license be deputy chief of staff. Louisiana congressman Cedric Richmond will serve as senior advisor, and director of the White House Office of public engagement.

Now he is calling on congress to take immediate action to forgive 10,000 in Student Loan Debt for borrowers. Ray bogan, fox news. David mcewen a Political Science professor at Sonoma State University joins us. In broad terms, what is the impact this is having on the president elect and our country when it cons to National Security . Is this lack of communication between the two administrations putting us at risk . Yes, it is harmful. Its harm envelope both a broad sense, interNational Security sense. Its harmful for uniting the country. The current president , President Trump, has been largely out of the public eye. He hasnt been around that much, and he is making changes. Hes making very important changes in afghanistan, iraq, whats happening with he National Security of the country, and he also has not been as front and center around covid and the response as the pandemic is picking up. All of that portends problems the next couple of weeks and months. That affect this lame duck session and what happens in early january, headed to president elect biden taking over on january 28s. Today the emptys new defense secretary amounted we are drawing down our troops, and it will hand just days before joe biden was sworn in. I was listening to a former nato commander today, he called the move quote astonishingly foolish, because it gives us no ledger in dealings with the taliban. The president has the right to make that decision because he is still the president until january 20th, but why could he do that without consulting president elect joe biden first . Well, he would do that because it places the next administration in a very tight box. It makes their scenarios, their inability to respond to what happens with the taliban, with alqaeda, with sis popping up, it makes it difficult to deal with the problem in syria. But there was also a telling moment today. Several foreign leaders did call the president elect, including netanyahu the leader of israel, to wish him well and congratulate him on becoming the next president of the united states. Thats partly sending a message to those areas of the world to be stable. But the longer this goes on, the difficulty of getting security briefings from those that are in the know and getting realtime intelligence, that affects the National Security of the united states. That becomes a more serious problem the longer this drags on. Finally, lets talk about the coronavirus. Were in the middle of a second wave. These are frightening times. I know the president said prior to the election all we talk about is corona, corona, corona, and after the election there would nobody talking about koro in a, as it turns out, were hitting record spikes in states across the country, and yet the president is not speakingor working with or planning with the president elect when it comes to the coronavirus. For his part, mr. Biden is quoted as saying that this is going to cost lives. Your thoughts . I mean, theres a real problem. Capitol hill isnt talking to folks in the white house, the white house isnt talking to people on capitol hill. There are 13 legislative days left in the year to get a coronavirus bill done, a core camper relief bill done. Unemployment runs out. The states get hit. This is a real difficult time. And as a result, it puts the next administration behind the 8 ball on dealing with any response. Joe biden has a wealth of years of experience on capitol hill, but over 200 members on capitol hill have never dealt with him, have never worked with him, and the current president , President Trump, is going to slow go this, because its going to make it very difficult and prolong a covid relief bill that does threaten lives. It threatens National Security. Thats an issue, and its spoiler effect that also affects everything thats going on in the economy. Thats problematic. And in the meantime, more than 100,000 people were infected just yesterday, and nearly a thousand more people died from the coronavirus. David mcewen, blow fesser at Sonoma State University.
