Children, in the United States. The most infections of any country in the world. We will go live to the white house in a few moments to talk about how much President Trump has addressed and responded to this horrific news amid spiraling infections and record numbers of american deaths from coindividual vid covid covid19. Not a word from the president about the pandemic. Much from him about alleged rigged elections. They were not riged. T first, lets assess what the administration is doing weeks away from taking charge of the white house, we are talking about the Incoming Administration, the president elect joe biden and his Transition Team making the coronavirus pandemic an extremely high priority. Not getting any help from Current Administration officials. Dr. Fauci would like to see the incoming and Outgoing Health officials start working together immediately. Of course, it would be better if we could work with them. In several weeks to months is really important in a smooth handing over of the information as well as its almost like passing a baton in a race. You dont want to stop and then give it to somebody. You want to keep going. Thats what transition is. It certainly would make things more smoothly if we could do that. Lets go to the white house. Jeremy diamond is on the scene. The president today signalled he is coming to terms with the outcome of the election. He signalled it for a few minutes. Then he walked away from that. He is refusing to concede. He continues to blame his loss on con spspiracy theories. What are you learning . Reporter it was a brief acknowledgement of reality that lasted two words contained in a tweet that had a multitude of conspiracy theories and lies and baseless allegations about the 2020 election. In those words, the president said he won, referring to joe biden. Before then saying joe biden only won because of a rigged election. A couple hours later, the president making clear that was nothing close to the concession that some republicans had begun to analyze this tweet as being. The president saying, i concede nothing and making very clear that he intends to continue to try to contest the results of the 2020 election. It was reflective of what we have seen from the president over the last week or more accurately what our sources have been telling us, which is that the president at times beginning to acknowledge the reality that this election is lost, that joe biden will be the next president , and then is urging his allies to make the case for him and to continue pressing forward with these lawsuits. It seems like thats where we are stuck. The president making clear that he wants to continue pressing forward with this case, continuing to make the baseless allegations on twitter. Even as Election Officials across the country, republicans and democrats as well as th d s clear its safe. The president is ignoring the coronavirus that we have seen over the last couple of weeks. More than a million cases in the last six days. The president , while he was happy friday to take credit for some of the progress that we are seeing on the vaccine front, we havent heard anything from him in terms of what americans should be doing and what the federal government is doing right now to try and mitigate this disaster thats happening right now in the u. S. Jeremy, its interesting. This morning he tweeted he won, referring to biden, he won because the election was rigged. Then very quickly, i guess he realized maybe from his perspective he made a mistake. Tweeted, he only won in the eyes of the fake news media. I concede nothing. We have a long way to go. This was a rigged election. What are officials saying about that initial statement when he wrote those two words, he won . Reporter some republicans in washington and across the country were happy to begin to interpret that as the beginning of a concession from the president. We saw governor hutch didntins it was the beginning. It was that chatter that made him put out that is not what he is doing. The president making clear that the former new york city mayer rudy giuliani, who is leading his legal team in terms of contesting the election, that they will file new lawsuits in the coming days despite the fact that we have seen the lawsuits filed by the president s campaign and his allies over the last several days, they have been all but laughed out of the courts. The lawyers for the campaign and for other republican outfits, they have been unwilling to provide concrete evidence. Judges have said some of the affidavits amount to nothing more than hearsay. The overwhelming consensus by officials, including by the Cybersecurity InfrastructureAgency Within the u. S. Government have said theres no evidence of widespread voter fraud. I know you are working your sources. We will get back to you. Joining us to discuss, this Adam Kinzinger of illinois. Thanks for joining us. Congratulations on your reelection. Thanks for coming in. Theres a lot i want to discuss with you. Let me get your reaction to the president of the United States all these days after the election still refusing to concede, even though he is down by 5. 5 million votes. He is way, way down in terms of the electioral college. How damaging is this, whats going on . I think it has some real potential in the longterm to be damaging. It takes away from Peoples Trust in an election system, in government. Right now we know our institutions of government are at a record low in terms of approval. When you have a democracy where your vote is basically every two years four years for president your only input in the future of the government, that can be really damaging. I think its the president we know he has every right to pursue every legal avenue. But to deny president elect biden the opportunity to begin the transition, to get briefings, which he should be getting, i think is longterm damage. For whatever reason, one of the lawsuits gets through and President Trump wins reelection, then theres no harm, no foul in the process. But this is far bigger than a party, than a man, than anything. This is about a union that has a great 200 years of being able to do this. We need another couple hundred years. Why doesnt he tell the General Services administration, go ahead, start the official transition process. Lives are at stake. Let the experts the coronavirus experts who are working with the Incoming Administration meet with dr. Fauci, dr. Birx, dr. Redfield and get the later information so when president elect Biden Takes Office they know whats going on and they can save lives . Yeah. I think he should. Again, if he has a chance to win one of the court cases, whats been the harm in having somebody else involved . Maybe they have ideas you havent thought of. This is just the right thing to do. I think the president spends a lot of time looking at twitter. I think he looks at some of the conspiracy theories that pop up. If he says anything that seems like it may be a concession, he sees the angry tweets, and he reverses course on that. This is about a democracy in a handover of power which has been very much cornerstone to the success that we have had in america. I have gotten to the point where i can look at this and say, again, every legal challenge you think you have, fine, pursue it. This is about something far bigger. Theres always an election around the corner. This is about something far bigger, which is the survival of the United States of america and the government as we know it in the longterm. Congressman, if you had your way, what would you like the president of the United States to say . Lets say he goes into oval office and delivers an address to the American People tomorrow night. What should he say . I think the president can make it very clear, republicans had a great night. The president outperformed his polling expectations. We gained seats in the house. Were probably going to hold the senate, statehouses. Theres a lot to be proud of. It appears the president came up short in running for reelection. It was record turnout for him and for president elect biden. Its an opportunity i wish he would come out and say, we have legal challenges. But were going to work as if president elect biden is actually president elect so if my legal challenges dont succeed, we can have a smooth transition. A lot i had two friends today that told me they have covid. Seems like its spreading far faster than it did even in the spring. This is really important. These are real peoples lives. Theres no harm whatsoever in saying the next Administration Needs a running start, if they can. I want you to listen to what the former president barack obama said. He gave an interview. I want you to listen to this. The president doesnt like to lose. Never admits loss. Im more troubled by the fact that other republican officials who clearly know better are going along with this, are humoring him in this fashion. It is one more step in dela m z delegitimizing democracy. Thats a dangerous pass. We would never accept that out of our kids behaving that way if they lost. If my daughters in any kind of competition pouted and then accused the other side of cheating when they lost when there was no evidence of it, we would scold them. I think that there has been this sense over the last several years that literally anything goes and is justified in order to get power. Thats not unique to the United States. There are strong men and deck tate dictators who think i can do anything to stay in power. I can kill people. I can throw them in jail. I can run phony elections. I can suppress journalists. Thats not who we are supposed to be. One of the signals, i think, that joe biden needs to send to the world is that, no, those values that we preached and we believed in and subscribed in, we still believe them. Congressman kinzinger, whats your reaction when you hear those words . Its a long sound bite. I cant say i agree or disagree with all, some or none. I will say, he is right in a point which is, this is a cornerstone of who we are. As you know, wolf, i pay a lot of attention to Foreign Policy and international policy. We often travel to other countries that are struggling with democracy. We use our example of how we can take two very bitter factions and hand over power. We take the house or if we have a president from a different party. The threat now is if we go and do that they will say, what about x, y, z, this election . I would say this to my republican friends especially. This is not about this moment. Right . This is about in ten years in 20 years, what happens if a democrat does the same thing . Do you have the moral authority to be outraged or did you give that up . The fact is, we can point fingers at each side. I can point say democrats did something. The reality is were in this moment now and this is essential that we as a nation get beyond what this the issue du jour is and move ahead. Man, i hope to have kids some day. I want them to be raised in a country better than the one i was raised in. Excellent point. I applaud you for doing something simple, referring to joe biden as president elect. Why though are so many of your republican colleagues refusing to do so . Are they afraid of the president . Why cant they simply acknowledge the fact that joe bide season now the president elect of the United States . Somehow after this election, some of the Republican Base not all, but the ones that are loud on twitter, believed that or were convinced that so so much misinformation on election day. Thats another segment we could do. They were con vipsed thvinced id any legal challenge or would be accepting defeat. Its ludicrous. Honestly, i think Republican Leaders its one thing to take time to say lets see where the legal challenges go. I say that as well. I want all that to be exhausted. But we have a responsibility far beyond what the twitter mobs say or the hordes of angry people say on internet. We have a responsibility to the constitution of the United States that declares it in january theres going to be a transition of power. Thats our responsibility now. Not to look at the angry retweets but to just do whats right for the country. I run every two years. Theres an election around the corner. It probably started about a week ago. You, sir, served in the u. S. Air force, in iraq, afghanistan. You risked your life. We are grateful to you. Congratulations on your reelection. Thanks for joining us. Thanks for speaking out. This is such a critical time, the transition. It needs to the cooperation of the Outgoing Administration with the Incoming Administration on National Security as well as health issues, the coronavirus, we see how many people there could be 70,000 americans dead between now and january 20th, unless this country gets its act together. All hands on deck. I think that is whats needed. Congressman kinzinger, thanks for joining us. You bet. Good luck. A surge of cases across the United States in the past six days. More than 1 million new cases have been reported. Now hospitals all around the country are warning they are running out of intensive care unit beds. Well be right back. Goodbye cleaning, hello clean.

A pill for adults with moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis when methotrexate has not helped enough. Xeljanz can help relieve joint pain and swelling, stiffness, and helps stop further joint damage, even without methotrexate. Xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections. Before and during treatment, your doctor should check for infections, like tb and do blood tests. Tell your doctor if youve had hepatitis b or c, have flulike symptoms, or are prone to infections. Serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. Taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra may increase risk of death. Tears in the stomach or intestines and serious allergic reactions have happened. Dont let another morning go by without asking your doctor about the pill first prescribed for ra more than seven years ago. Xeljanz. Americans from both parties.

Our fees are structured so we do better when you do better. At Fisher Investments were clearly different. Its been six days since the United States crossed the milestone of 10 million confirmed coronavirus cases. Get this. Six days later, tonight, more than 11 million americans have tested positive. A million americans came down with coronavirus in the past six days alone. One of them, the former education secretary, ernie duncan, revealing today on twitter, im quoting, he and his family have been battling the virus for ten days. He says, we are all in shape. We have what is considered mild cases and it has absolutely flattened us. He is joining us now. Mr. Secretary, thank you so much for joining us. Sad to hear you and your familiar wife, your child, you all came down positive. You say you were tested november 6th, diagnosed the next day. Tell us what has been going on and how you actually believe you may have gotten coronavirus. First of all, wolf, relative to so many other families, we are fortunate. We are lucky. Nobody is in the hospital. We are getting healthier by the day. Count our blessings every day. I wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy. Its a wicked disease. Nausea, headaches, fever, body aches. Just sheer exhaustion. Not something anybody should go through or needs to go through. I tried to tweet just to maybe revealing personally. Maybe wont like this. But i think people need to stay home for thanksgiving this year. I hate to say that. I never want to be scrooge. We socially distance. We wore masks. Nobody in the house tried to be we tried to be cautious. Unfortunately, it wasnt enough. Tell us how you are feeling. Is there a sense you and the family are improving right now . Obviously, i have known you for a long time. I have worried about you and the entire family. I appreciate that. We are absolutely improving. First couple days, we realized, they were terrible. They were really hard. The past couple two, three days going in the right direction. It takes time. You cant rush it. I still dont have near the energy i want to have. Still feeling far less my best. Relative to so many others who are dealing with severe illness and death, our family is very, very fortunate. What were the symptoms that you initially had that convinced you it was time to go get tested . Its the strangest thing. Ive been working out and feeling strong and feeling good and trying to build up my strength in case this happened. You go from one day feeling fine to the next day i can only say it feels like you are hit by a truck. You feel absolutely flattened or feel like you ran a marathon. No energy. I knew. I knew. The test confirmed what i knew was the case. Do you have any idea how you and the family contracted the virus . I dont. We have done contact tracing. Nobody we were in contact with seems to have gotten it from us, which im so deeply thankful for. We just dont know. Really tried to contain it, tried to limit where we were, who we were with. Nothing indoors with people, no socializing. You just dont know. I think its so prevalent across the country, here in illinois, chicago. It feels like a tidal wave, a tsunami coming. We got caught in that. You gotta be really careful. I want you to stay with us. I want to bring in a doctor, the chief of the division of the infectii infectionoi infi infectious diseases. Is it just becoming so prevalent that masking and social distancing im sure they were doing that might not be enough . I do want to extend my best wishes for a speedy recovery to the secretary and to his family. One of the things thats scary is what the secretary is describing is considered mild. Yes, to answer your question, i think theres so much disease circulating right now. Dr. Fauci said has been saying for months, if we dont get this down to 10,000, 5,000 cases per day, when we get to winter, the fall and winter, we will have so much disease circulating that it will be the case that we will not know from whom we got it. Right now, if you look at the numbers, the numbers are simply awful. In six days, a million americans came down with coronavirus, including secretary duncan. Its awful. The deaths are skyrocketing. Hospitalizations. How worried should we be . Hopefully, the Duncan Family will not have to go into a hospital. The icu beds are filling up pretty quickly, arent they . They are. The curve you are showing of the cases is just pointing due north. What we havent seen is the curve of deaths pointing due north. But it will follow. We know the deaths will follow two to three weeks afterwards. We have seen case counts of deaths or death counts in the 1,000 a day. What i really worry about is that thats reflective of case counts from several weeks ago, 50,000 case counts a day. We can expect at a 2 to 3 mortality when we have case counts of 180,000 a day that our mortality rates in the weeks ahead could be up to 3,000 to 5,000 a day. The other thing thats extremely concerning to me is that when we are at such limited hospital beds, when we have no icu care, all care is compromised. Its not just covid care. We cant care well for anything that comes in the door. Now you worry not just about the mortality associated with covid but the excess mortal with ttale cant care for other things as well. Do you have a question you might want to ask . Shes a world class expert in this area. No. I appreciate what she and so many experts are doing. It breaks my heart. This is a humanitarian crisis. We shouldnt be here. We dont need to be here to have so many families suffering ini unnecessarily. It shouldnt be this difficult. We shouldnt be here. Its an awful, awful situation. Secretary duncan, we wish you and family a speedy recovery. Doctor, we thank you for all the critically important work you are doing. We appreciate it very much. One question before i let you go. Do you agree with secretary duncan, this is a time for families to be cautious in advance of thanksgiving and nervous about having a traditional thanksgiving dinner . Yes. If theres one point that i think we all need to be conveying over the next couple of weeks is please stay home with your limited family. Dont mix pods. Dont mix families. Dont put multigenerations together who have not been together for the last several weeks and months. That is a recipe for more disease. I think nobody wants to be the scrooge here, nobody wants to say you should not have a festive hole i had dfes festive holiday. Hopefully by 2021, everybody around the table will be vaccinated and everything will be there. God willing. Thank you so much. Secretary duncan, thanks for speaking out. I think what you are both doing potentially will be saving lives. Convincing the American Public out there and people watching us do simply things. Wear a mask, social distance, wash your hands, be very careful. Good luck, secretary duncan. We appreciate it.

This cox comes as so many ameri are struggling in the midst of the pandemic which infected 11 million americans over the past few months. A million of them a million of them in the last six days alone. Our political commentator, the former democratic 2020 president ial candidate andrew yang is joining us. Thanks for joining us. What would you like to hear from the president elect when he and the Vice President elect speak out on the economy tomorrow . Joe and kamala share the point of view of most americans, which is that the economy and getting the coronavirus under control are really the same thing in practice. We need a plan to do both at the same time. Certainly, the Economic Relief would be much, much smoother sailing in Congress Actually passed a stimulus bill that you and i know is months overdue. I hope part of this speech is pushing congress to get to the table and try and hammer out a deal as soon as possible, even before year end, before joe takes office. At this point, americans around the country cant wait to get help. It seems like we might be waiting until joe does take office next year. People may be waiting until february or even later. Every day is critically important. We saw the long lines in dallas today. People waiting for food. They were waiting and waiting and waiting. So many thousands and thousands. Look at those cars waiting to get some free food because they are struggling right now. Millions of americans, they are suffering financially. We see no stimulus deal in the works right now. Why is that . Why cant republicans and democrats realize as you have said you cant let the perfect be the enemy of the good. You have to help these people. You have to pass this legislation right away. You and i were both afraid of this scenario, which is a lame duck session. Its harder to get big bills passed when some members of congress are packing their bags. They are in their office trying to sort out their affairs because they will leave in the next number of days or weeks. That should not impede congress. At this point the issues are so wellknown. They have been negotiating over them for months. Chuck schumer said, please, mitch, lets pass a bill. Outgoing former President Trump tweeted that he wanted to see a bill. At this point, it really is mystifying why they cant get a deal hammered out between Speaker Pelosi and mitch mcconnell. The pa ram terameters have beenl defined. They have been negotiating in theory for months. So many millions of americans who are unemployed. Many of them do get unemployment benefits. Millions arent eligible for unemployment benefits. They are struggling. They cant pay rent. They cant get food on the table. Thats why we see people waiting for free food. Let me ask you some of the political issues underway right now. Your campaign, when you ran for the democratic nomination, centered around math. When you see the president of the United States still insisting he won and then you see the electoral college, he lost, you see the popular vote, down by more than 5. 5 million votes, how do you square that . What does the president need to realize right now how dangerous it is what he is doing refusing to allow this transition process to go forward . We have not seen anything like this before, wolf. Its core ro core ro corrosive. A lot are going along because they think they need Trump Supporters in the senate races that will determine the balance of power in the senate. The thought is that, if we play along with trumps failure to concede, then we can keep the voters animated. There are real dangers to the country where you have folks that are ready to assume power, not able to talk to current agencies and administration officials. You have people who are part of the administration kind of pant mia pantomiming. This is dangerous. Its cynical. Its political. Trump wants to take his following with him out the door. He thinks that failing to concede will help him do just that. Andrew yang, thanks for joining us. We appreciate it. We will continue this conversation down the road. Thank you for joining us. Thanks, wolf. Pass a stimulus bill. Millions need it. I agree. Frms co President Trump is vowing to press on with his legal challenges to the election challenges. As many of the claims of voter fraud completely fizzle, we will look at what his challenges are. Does he have any chance at all . The short answer is no. What are you doing . Art class.

President trump is putting his personal lawyer at the helm of his campaigns coordinated effort to try to undermine the Election Results. On fox news, giuliani defended a tweet from the president which suggested briefly that trump seems to be coming to terms with his election loss. The president s attorney doesnt see it that way at all. Listen. What he is saying is more i guess you would call it sarcastic or a comment on the terrible times in which we live in which the media has said he won. By going on to point out it was illegal. He is contesting it vigorously in the courts. Lets discuss with preet bhara bharara. A former u. S. Attorney in new york. Preet, thanks for joining us. Whats your reaction when you hear what giuliani is saying, what they are trying to do . We suspect the Trump Campaign wasnt going to leave. Do they stand a chance at all . No, not from what i see. I think case after case after case has been brought in not only bad faith but has been unsuccessful. The Trump Campaign and his allies have brought cases that have had as plaintiff the wrong party. They brought suit agas in the w court. Case after case after case, sometimes with a laugh from the court and disdain. Im not an expert in election law. Neither are President Trumps lawyers. You also see reporting that there are a number of lawyers who refuse to come on the case. President trump complained about the quality of his lawyering. Rude gi geuliani does pr and pr, including at four seasons total landscaping. What he says about the prospects of the suits Going Forward and being victorious, i dont put much stock in. How long do you think the president and his socalled legal time, giuliani and company, can drag this out . Its hard to say. Different cases are at different stages of litigation. I think they are rapidly being dismissed. He has a deadline of depending how you think about it december 14th when the electors meet and they vote. The bottom line is, even if its the case that some subset of the suits had some merit, the consequence of prevailing even on that subset of cases, which i dont believe is true, the consequence is nothing. At the end of the day, the only thing that will matter is if the Trump Campaign can overturn Election Results in three states which biden is rwinning is. In is not 2000 when the election turned upon 537 votes in florida. Donald trump has to win again and again and that has to happen soon. The electors vote. A new president takes office in 60 some odd days. Time is running out. The president is in a lame duck period of his presidency. The urgent business of president ial pardons, as you know, is likely to top one of his checklist items before leaving office. Does the president have the ability to pardon himself before leaving office . I dont believe so. I think the weight of judicial opinion and reasoning and common sense and logic and justice and fairness i can use ten other words is on the side of not being able to pardon yourself. This has only come up in speculation one time in american history. That was during the time of nixon when there was some thought maybe he was considering doing just that, pardoning himself preemptiemptivelpreemp. Theres no precedent for it. They cite the universal rule that no one can be a judge in his own case. That would be fundamentally unfair. I believe the weight of authority is against his being able to pardon himself. The problem is, its technically unsettled. It has never been decided by the courts. An argument could be made i dont think its plausible. If he does so, how is that going to get litigated . As far as i can see, its a pragmatic matter. He issues a pardon. At some point some prosecutor tries to test that pardon in a federal case. Then it gets litigated. He can do it. It looks terrible. He doesnt seem to care about his legacy giving how he is dealing with coronavirus in the days winding down, Going Forward. As a technical legal matter, people will talk about this because maybe he can. Preet bharara, thanks for joining us. Why some of President Trumps most diehard supporters are saying fox news is too liberal. Well be right back. I dont trust fox news. I dont watch fox anymore. Even fox news is crooked.
