Breaking news tonight. President elect joe biden, Vice President elect Kamala Harris are set to receive a National Security briefing tomorrow. An historic warning from biden who says more americans may die from covid19 as President Trump refuses to accept the outcome of the election and work with bidens transition team. Biden saying trump is hampering the incoming administrations ability to rapidly get a vaccine out to millions of americans. Also tonight, more than 73,000 americans are hospitalized with covid. That is a record number. Lets skdiscuss now. Political reporter for the New York Times joins us as well. Good evening one and all. Good to see you. Hey, don. Kirsten, im going to start with you. The president elect biden very pointed today warning more people may die from the pandemic if the Trump Administration keeps blocking his transition. The president seems more focused on fighting the election outcome than this deadly virus. Where does that leave us . Right. He hasnt taken it seriously at any given point, so he continues to do the same thing. You know, what future President Biden, president elect biden was saying today i think is exactly right. Peoples lives are at stake. You said earlier in the last hour there are people that are watching right now that may not be alive because of the behavior of this president by the end of this year. We just cannot stress enough how harmful this is and how unprecedented it is that you would have an administration absolutely refusing to allow the future president of the United States to have access to the information that he needs so that there can be a really good roll out of the new vaccines. Listen, i dont think it gets any clearer and specifically pointed as biden calling out trumps adviser, dr. Scott atlas for telling people to rise up against michigan governor whitmers her new covid restrictions. Listen and then well discuss. In addition to the folks who have already been leading like the governor of michigan, i mean, you know, the idea that the president s now existing remaining adviser on covid is saying that they should resist. What the hell is the matter with these guys . What is the matter with them . Resist . So this is for you. Dr. Atlas says that he wasnt trying to incite violence but his comments are incredibly dangerous. To bidens point, what is the matter with these guys . If i had the answer for that i wouldnt be sitting here. This perplexing to know why dr. Atlas and those who the president has surrounded himself with will not acknowledge the reality of the virus. They are invested in massaging the president s ego, in trying to tell a story that is untrue about the reality of this Public Health situation and of the election last week. I think these things are intertwined. For this administration to admit the reality and severity of the virus would also be to admit their own flaws in handling it throughout the last year. That is something they are unwilling to do both from the president on down and the advisers and folks around him are unwilling to cross him. So i think that leaves us in the place where americans are hurt. Where people in the Public Health response is devastated by that reality. That is what president elect biden is trying to say. The task before him is huge. He is not only coming in with a mandate to get control of this but has to do so with an Outgoing Administration that is not only unwilling to help him do that but is unwilling to acknowledge the reality of the Public Health situation were in. John avlon, so the president elect, Vice President elect harris, theyre going to get a National Security briefing tomorrow but he hasnt been getting the classified security briefing and they arent being fully briefed on covid measures either. So it is not a full on no. The big briefing they should be getting. How long can this go on, john . It go con until Inauguration Day i suppose. Look, the Trump Administration made it very clear they are going to drag their feet on confronting reality. The reality is at some point when the electors meet on the 14th this will be a process in place that cannot be denied by the president. The gsa is going to have to start opening doors. He is going to have to start getting briefings. This is precious time lost. The niefrn commission made it clear there are National Security implications to delayed transitions. This is happening in the middle of a pandemic when president elect biden is likely to take the oath of office in the middle of a winter in which by some estimates we could see another 200,000 americans die between now and march. This is Mission Critical and it is just another sign of how hyperpartisanship not only makes us stupid but can really hurt people. It is hurting people right now. Kirsten, im going to read this. He summed up President Trumps inaction in the washington post. Max says, trump could not be doing more damage if he were consciously attempting to sabotage the u. S. Government. For the record, i dont believe that he is deliberately burning everything down on his way out the door to punish americans for rejecting him. He is merely salving his ego and is heedless of the causes as always. But it wouldnt look much different if he were. Why is he fighting to keep a job that he shows no interest in performing is the question from max. The question from me is what is the end game, kirsten . Well, you know, i was actually about to say, so i guess i disagree with max a little bit. I do think part of this is him trying to sabotage. I think its partly him and his ego and needing to be the center of the attention. You think he is trying to burn the house down on his way out . Thats what it looks like. Yeah, i think he is trying to harm biden. I think he is trying to make things more duff for him. He doesnt want, obviously doesnt care about the country. Thats been well established. Anybody who cares about the country would not be doing what he is doing right now. At some point most people even people who crave power do ultimately put the country ahead of their own needs in a situation like this when youve lost an election. He doesnt care. He wants to continue to create division. He wants to continue to burn down the house which is what hes been doing this entire time. But i do think part of it is he wants to it to be hard for biden. He wants biden to have trouble governing. On top of losing, john, President Trump is in the white house watching tv nonstop. Who is he seeing all over . The former president barack obama . Do you think obama feels vindicated helping make trump a oneterm president . You know they tried, they said hey. Were going to make obama a oneterm president. Turns out obama is a twoterm president. Trump is a onetermer i think obama actually thinks a little bigger than his personal impact on donald trump but it is fascinating to think of donald trump you know it kind of feels good. Come on now. Sure. You saw how much fun he was having on the campaign trail. You see the president in this shame spiral tweeting, watching tv. Presumably fast food on the side. This isnt quite the last days of nixon but it is probably not a portrait of a particularly happy human being. You guys follow him. I dont follow him. I just read the news i have to. I cant. It is way too much and my life is much better because of it. Listen, i know you said earlier you have Better Things to do and you didnt want to be here with us. I got to ask you another question. I want to get to the republican secretary of state in georgia, okay . He is saying that he is getting pressured by prominent republicans like Lindsey Graham to question the validity of legally cast absentee ballots. What do you think . He explained it to wolf blitzer earlier. By the way, graham is denying it. You go on. This is a kind of shocking accusation coming from the secretary of state but i think it is in line with what weve seen from republicans nationally. Just consider the extraordinary situation were in. This is a republican secretary of state, a kind of tried and true conservative in georgia, who was hand picked by brian kemp who beat Stacey Abrams a couple years ago in that Gubernatorial Race and he is under fire from his own party because he is unwilling to go to support unfounded, unsupported conspiratorial claims of voter fraud that are being done in the service of only President Trump. He has had both republican senators who are up in those runoffs try to pressure that secretary of state. He is now saying he has experienced pressure from members of the Senate Judiciary committee folks like Lindsey Graham. I think this builds into a larger kind of infighting among republicans that were going to see going forward. You have the specter of donald trump that remains so politically important that republicans cannot get rid of him but you still have the reality of his loss and you have a reality of a changing party that is still ahead of them. The secretary of state is saying he will not bend to those demands but he is pushing back against a party that is still under the grip of donald trump even in a loss. All right. Thank you all. I appreciate it. See you soon. Thank you. I want to turn to former nato allied general wesley clark. Thanks for joining me again. Lets talk about some of my colleagues reporting jake tapper reporting that now fired defense secretary mark esper warned the white house earlier this month that the unanimous consensus of the chain of command is that conditions hadnt been met for troop withdrawal in afghanistan. Does that answer the question of why he was fired . I dont think thats the full answer but i think that might be part of the answer. Look, the situation in afghanistan, don, has been problematic since really the fall of the taliban in late 2001. We went in there without a strategy to get Osama Bin Laden out. We didnt really know what to do after the taliban government fell. We set up hamid karzai who was associated with india. Which infuriated pakistan. The same oneyear war fought 18 times. Now were trying to do the negotiations. We lack the military leverage. We lack the ability to deal with pakistan. So when the joint chiefs and the secretary of defense tell the president look dont pull troops out. It doesnt meet the conditions we set. They are absolutely right. There is no assurance well ever get those conditions met because the taliban are rolling up the Government Forces in various provinces. Its going to be an ugly situation no matter whether you pull the troops out now or you wait until President Biden takes over and it becomes his problem. So if you pull out half the troops now and you give people warnings that it goes over a period of a month youll do damage. But its going to be an ugly ending in all probability no matter what. So is President Trump doing the right thing now . I dont think hes done the right thing from the beginning but this is the military trying to salvage what they can out of a negotiated, honorable exit. So its not a doesnt look like a complete collapse. We need to keep sufficient forces there to gather intelligence, strike at terrorist cells. The taliban has not delivered on cutting ties with el al qaeda and we need the forces on hand to physically cut those ties if necessary. They know better than i do sitting here. Theyre worried when he cuts it below 4,000. I understand their worries and i sympathize but im here to say this is going to get ugly. We are committed to pulling everything out by may of 2021. It is going to be ugly because the taliban are not going to suddenly give up their arms and embrace the government as blood brothers. Sure. They want power. Pakistan wants them to have power. This is really about pakistan and india. General, i just want your reaction to this New York Times story reporting that trump asked senior advisers last week if they had options to take action against irans main nuclear site in the coming weeks. Are you concerned about the president that he may do, what he may do before january 20th . I am concerned. Thats no rational policy. First of all if you take action against that site youll get retaliation of some type. Secondly there is no assurance you can really eliminate the site. Third, theyre going to come back and rebuild under ground and it really is problematic for the biden administration. So i think its a really bad policy if we strike iran right now. General, always a pleasure. Thank you, sir. Thank you. With the virus raging the current president wants you to think weve got to choose between the virus and the economy but the truth is we cant get a handle on the economy until we get a handle on the virus. That as president elect biden is warning americans we may have a very tough Holiday Season ahead of us. Look. I just want to make sure that were able to be together next thanksgiving. Next christmas. I mean, it is an international crisis. It is an International Health crisis and the idea were at war with the virus.

Andy and i made a good plan. Find your own andy at schwab. A modern approach to wealth management. So coronavirus cases spiking across the country as the economy craters. President elect biden addressing the crisis today. We wanted to get the economy back on track, we need our workers back on the job by getting the virus under control. Were going in a very dark winter. Things are going to get much tougher before they get easier. That requires sparing no effort to fight covid so we can open our businesses safely, resume our lives, and put this pandemic behind us. Once we shut down the virus and deliver Economic Relief to workers and businesses then we can start to build back better than before. Joining me now is the former chair of the White House Council on economic advisers and the former labor secretary under president clinton. Gentlemen, so good to see both of you. Thank you so much for appearing. Secretary reich, i am going to start with you biden is making the point the countrys economic success is tied to fighting covid, the coronavirus. That is not one or the other. Is that the approach the Trump Administration has taken in the case that it is either one or the other . Unfortunately, don, that does seem to be the principle that the Trump Administration has used. And as you have pointed out it is certainly not one or the other. In fact, it is impossible for this economy to do well as long as the virus is surging because obviously people are going to not go into restaurants and shops even of their own even if there were not lockdowns. Workers are not going to be as readily available. The economy as a whole is going to be under greater and greater stress and on top of that if congress does not pass emergency legislation to provide Disaster Relief essentially additional Unemployment Insurance for people then well be in a deeper fix and have a worse economic problem. Kevin, the decision to close some schools are learned remotely, parents really in turmoil balancing safety against the need to work. Listen to what hss secretary alex azar said about school closings. Its ridiculous to close our schools. It is not driven by science and data or evidence. Schools k12, universities, these are not major vectors of disease transmission. Our work places are not. Airlines are not. It is indoor gatherings where we let our guard down and dont wear masks and dont social distance and the governors keep going after the schools and the kids. There is real harm to the kids mental and physical health and emotional well being. We shouldnt be closing our schools. Science and data part, i dont know. No one wants schools closed. Kids should be in schools. For months we heard from the president we should open up businesses to save the economy but should schools have been the priority all along . It is a fair question, don. If you look at europe theyve pretty much kept their schools open throughout the whole episode and precisely because of what secretary azar was emphasizing. Mental health for the kids stuck at home and the scariness of the disease is something that i think professional teachers could probably deal a lot better with than parents trapped in a little house with their kids for month after month. So i do absolutely think this school should be open. It is something secretary azar has been emphasizing for a long time, too. Also think about it, it is kind of monday morning quarterbacking because no one knew in the beginning if you sent kids back to school if they were going to wear masks, socially distant, if it was going to spread. I understand that. This time around there seems to be some data saying that, or can follow the guidelines and can actually go back to school. They should be in school. So secretary reich you tweeted about this earlier saying europeans are responding to the latest outbreak by closing restaurants, bars, and other businesses but keeping schools open. The u. S. Is mostly doing opposite. Americans are arguing about how many people can work out at the gym while kids are stuck at home. Has the u. S. Approach been wrong headed shall i say all along . We havent done a very good job. Put it that way. If you compare the United States in the spring when it was the first time that covid was surging and now when the resurgence is larger in many respects the United States has come in behind almost everybody else in terms of successfully containing this. And what many other countries, not just europe but also in asia and also you find new zealand, what they are doing is they are shutting down businesses in order to prevent people from unnecessarily contacting each other, contracting the disease, and the virus, and passing it on. Thats been good for businesses over the longer term. I think that is the most important point. Its not that youre closing the economy. It is that you are actually taking steps that will maintain and enlarge the economy over the longer term. We should have learned that already and we didnt. Yeah. Kevin, listen. Ive been saying all along if we had more buyin from the public, if from the top folks had said wear a mask or socially distance or that is real, do you think couldnt we be somewhere close to as normal as we can get if people would just wear a mask and follow the guidelines . I think you might remember even back in the spring in the white house i was waving my mask at everybody because the mask even back then maybe it didnt help, we didnt know back then but it has very little cost to wear a mask so of course everybody should. The thing that i really think is if you look at where we are right now i want to circle back to something Vice President biden or president elect biden and secretary rice said and that is that we really do need a stimulus right now because the good news today really don was that there is a vaccine break through. There are two. And there is a vaccine coming next year. What that means is that it is prudent for everybody to just sort of hunker down a little bit more. I expect the Economic Data is going to go south for a couple months before people start to pick up again. We need to get businesses the cash they need to survive and people the cash they need to survive between now and when we can really get going because there is a vaccine. I think the Vice President was right today to emphasize we need a stimulus, maybe just a stopgap into next year when the new congress can take it up with perhaps the new president you about fact is secretary rice and the Vice President are correct that because covid is raging out of control right now and precisely because people are waiting for a vaccine and should hunker down we need to do something to give people a bridge until say march or april. I think you are both right. There is a light at the end of the tunnel but we need to hunker down to get there. We can and to get there with as few deaths as possible. As few people getting sick as possible. I appreciate both of you and the advice and the expertise that you brought tonight. See you both soon. Be safe. Thank you. What happens when a person leading the countrys Coronavirus Task force wont wear a mask even in a Task Force Meeting in a small room indoors . A lot of people follow his example instead of the experts, right . But were going to go to the experts here. Doctors on the front lines of the virus tell me what theyre experiencing as dr. Fauci says science is the answer. When you have a pandemic outbreak like this, science is ultimately going to get us out of it. It all as you possibly can, and the din and hum of Technology Fall away. Thats pure gold. My hands are everything to me. But i was diagnosed with dupuytrens contracture. And it got to the point where things i took for granted got tougher to do. Thought surgery was my only option. Turns out i was wrong. So when a hand specialist told me about nonsurgical treatments, it was a total game changer. Like you, my hands have a lot more to do. Learn more at factsonhand. Com today. So tonight the United States breaking another record in the battle against covid19. More than 73,000 people are hospitalized with the virus. Covid19 rates trending upward in 45 states and tonight three doctors are with me talking about all of this the pulmonary and Critical Care physician in salt lake city. His state utah by the way seeing an increase in cases. The Positivity Rate there more than 19 . And joining me from long island, where the Positivity Rate is just over 6 . And dr. Brian williams is codirector of the surgical intensive care unit at the university of chicago. The Positivity Rate in illinois more than 12 . Rhode island. Excuse me. What did i say . Did i say illinois . Yeah. Rhode island. Sorry. I cant get, you know, new yorker. Everything looks like long island. Thank you. I apologize for that. Dr. Hatton, im going to start with you. Utah is in pretty bad shape with this virus and you are working shifts 12 to 24 hours even 36 hours sometimes im told. Tell us what it is like when you go to work right now. It is incredibly busy. We have opened up extra icu space throughout our hospital system. I have more Covid Patients in our hospital today than i actually have normal icu beds that sort of help manage in our medical intensive care unit. So we are sort of already out of bounds so to speak in terms of the number of patients that we have in our hospital. Can you quickly compare this to what was going on when we were at the height of it or the start of this back in march, april, and may . Yeah. Luckily for utah we didnt have a first surge. We were protected. We shut everything down very quickly and so this is really sort of our second surge. So compared to july, we had, you know, sort of average day of about 700 cases per day. Now were at about 3,000, 4,000 cases per day. My goodness. Were eclipsing our summer values by three and fourfold right now and no peaking in sight unfortunately. Frightening. What is the scene inside your hospital in providence . What are your colleagues feeling right now . Honestly, don, my colleagues not just in rhode island but across the country are exhausted. We have been fighting this virus for months now. We have been making our way through with limited personal protective equipment. We have been on the front lines talking about how to stop transmission of the virus and yet here we are in the fall exactly where we did not want to be, seeing our Emergency Departments, our hospitals, and our icus fill up with really sick patients. And the thing thats different now as opposed to the spring is it is not just the sick covid19 patients. It is also all the other patients who put off their care in the spring so that patients with end stage cancer, the patients with side effects of strokes or who put off their elective surgeries for too long fll it became an emergency. So were simultaneously filled up with patients who are sick for a lot of other really normal reasons and all of these really sick Covid Patients. There is just nowhere left to put them. I have friends in other states being told to use neo natal care icu beds and pediatric icu beds for adult patients. It is ridiculous and we shouldnt be in this spot in the United States. My gosh. Dr. Williams, ill get to all of you, but i mean, listen to the two doctors before you. This is unbelievable. It seems like so much of the conversations we were having back in the spring because illinois is another state where cases are surging. Chicago. Where you are. Has new restrictions in place. Your biggest concern for your hospital with this new surge, doctor . It is dejavu all over again to use an old cliche. University of chicago we learned a lot from the first surge earlier this spring. We are using that knowledge to prepare for the surge already here yet to peak. It will get worse. Were seeing hospitalizations up across the state of illinois reflected within the city of chicago but our hospital, some of my surgeon colleagues had developed what is called the necessary and time sensitive score for surgery. So elective surgeries as discussed were put off earlier and we can triage to determine who goes now and who can wait. A hernia repair can probably wait versus a cancer operation. Weve also put in place a triage score for icu resources to ensure we can minimize bias in deciding who gets these Critical Resources as the Hospital Systems become stressed because we have to consider all of this through the lens of Health Equity as we move forward because there will be the haves and the have nots and you cannot leave the have nots behind as the surge peaks. I want to play this and get you to respond. This is a clip of an emergency room nurse from south dakota. She shares the disbelief that some of her patients have about this virus including some that are dying. The hardest thing to watch is that people are still looking for Something Else and they want a magic answer and they dont want to believe that covid is real. It wasnt one particular patient. Its just a culmination of so many people. And their last dying words are this cant be happening its not real. When they should be spending time face timing their families they are filled with anger and hatred and it made me really sad the other night. I just cant believe those are their last thoughts and words. Okay. Do you dr. Williams first do you experience that with patients you see . I have not had experience with any of my patients so far and i will say that families and patients that are going to this experience are devastated by what is happening and not making those sorts of judgment calls at the end of life. But there are times when families cannot be at the bed side and they are forced to say goodbye via video if at all. So that is disheartening as a Health Care Provider to know in this critical transition if patients are dying alone as a result of restrictions to keep everyone safe in the hospital. Is that your experience of what the nurse said . We havent seen that sort of opposition to the virus. I think the bigger thing we have seen here in utah is some of our Health Care Providers will be at work with death and dying severely ill patients and you go to the Grocery Store and you see the other side where they dont buy into what is going on and that is very emotionally fatiguing because it is almost like you live in these two different universes where you go to work and it is all these super sick patients and you walk out into your community and you see people just like normal. And back to how it was prior to the beginning of the pandemic. That is a huge stressor on all of us in the health care field. You said you were tired of walking out of an icu where covid19 has killed another patient then walking into a Grocery Store and hearing people say it doesnt exist. Who do you hold responsible for that . I think theres lots of messaging. I think we havent been great with sort of bringing everybody back to a good message of this is what is going on and what we really need to do. Weve polarized this issue which has caused a lot of pain and suffering in our society. Do you experience anything like what the nurse said . Ive not had patients deny they have covid but certainly have had patients resist wearing masks. I would invite anyone to go on our three twitter feeds to see the sorts of responses we get when we talk about what we are seeing in our hospitals. People calling us liars like were making this up. I would tell anyone to come into e. R. By the time folks make it into my Emergency Department they are so sick theyre desperate for me to do something to help them and generally they accept their diagnosis but as dr. Williams said they have to do it alone which is the most tragic thing. I am there dressed up in full personal protective equipment looking like an alien spending as little time in the room as possible so i dent get sick and they are sitting there deathly ill without the comfort of family that would normally be near them. I think thaos been one of the toughest parts for us. I want to have you guys back. I know you are very busy but what you provide for the audience and for the country is very, very important. If you can find the time i want to have you guys back. Thank you so much. Please be safe. We appreciate what you do. Thank you. Stay safe. Well be right back. Am again .

President trump putting Rudy Guiliani in charge of his attempts to overturn the results of the election but just like trump guiliani is spotting a lot of nonsense and false hoods. More tonight from cnns investigative correspondent drew griffin. Reporter it would be laughable if this wasnt so dangerous. Start doing ballots like this. Reporter Rudy Guiliani on fox sunday spinning his latest false Conspiracy Theory about an american voting machine company, a bizarre take involving george soros, votes being counted in spain, and dead strong man hugo chavez. The company that has close, close ties with venezuela and therefore china. Reporter false. Truth, facts . They dont seem to matter to guiliani who is tweeting, posting on youtube, showing up on far right wing shows spouting wildly false allegations even from the parking lot of a Landscaping Company next to an adult book store. Wow. What a beautiful day. His argument in philadelphia that vote counters were purposely hiding ballots from trumps poll watchers. Because many, many were fraudulent. Reporter not true. This is the man President Trump has just put in charge of his legal challenges to joe bidens president ial win. A stack of lawsuits has already been thrown out or dropped including nine in one day. All of the cases are falling apart. Hes going about continuing to file cases with no basis in courts just makes donald trump a loser more times. Reporter in a pennsylvania lawsuit a judge asked trumps attorney are you claiming that there is any fraud in connection with these disputed ballots . The trump attorney admitted, no. Yet along with other trump cronies guiliani keeps feeding the world his debunked conspiracy theories. In each state there were ineligible ballots that overwhelmed the margin of victory. Reporter no, mr. Guiliani, there werent. The United States department of Homeland Security issued this joint statement from its elections Infrastructure Committee stating there is no evidence that any Voting System deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised. Rudy guiliani is undermining confidence in the American Election system and therefore undermining our National Security. Reporter its a far cry from the man who was dubbed mayor of the world in the wake of 9 11. Ever since guiliani became a vocal supporter of the president s 2016 president ial bid, hes been trumps chief conspiricist even traveling to ukraine to try to dig up dirt on hunter biden. Intelligence officials told the white house guiliani was the target of a russian influence operation in 2019 according to the washington post. It is very dangerous and extremely alarming. This former federal prosecutor who specializes in russian organized crime and once worked with guiliani believes guiliani may be unwittingly doing the russians business in this election. What theyre doing is completely 100 in the interests of russia, which is to create as much damage and confusion to the u. S. And its working. The lies and false reports sending thousands into the streets for a pro trump protest this past weekend. And perhaps convincing millions of americans to doubt the u. S. Election system. Staunch republican and former trump National Security adviser john bolton says its a damaging strategy that wont end after trump leaves office. Real distrust in the system, casting doubt on the integrity of our electoral system, the constitutional process. The russians and chinese couldnt ask for any more. What trump is doing is potentially dangerous for the country. Former colleagues of Rudy Guiliani questioned whether there has been cognitive decline. They dont know what happened to Rudy Guiliani. One telling me that because the president doesnt even pay his attorney, Rudy Guiliani seems to be destroying his reputation free of charge. Drew griffin, cnn, atlanta. Drew, thank you so much. A final note from president barack obama. Well be right back. Sarah for a while ive had like a, kind of negative self image. There was like this contrast between like the way that i was thinking about my personality and the way that i was thinking about my body. With noom, i was able to learn how to interrupt those habits and create new ones. So my goal was 35 pounds and ive lost about 30 pounds now. So. Ive never been this confident in my body. My name is sara and i changed my life with noom. Visit noom. Com and lose the weight for good. Americans from both parties. Turned out to vote in numbers like we havent seen in a hundred years. And Election Officials counted those votes carefully, transparently and in accordance with the law. So, no matter who you voted for, if you cast a ballot, or counted them.
