Live from the north lawn. 4 p. M. Live coverage that that News Conference on operation warp speed. The administration and Trump Campaign continues to insist that if there are recounts across the country it will prove the president won the election. He said president elect joe biden is not the case yet. He said the dems are saying what a wonderful job the Trump Administration did in making the 2020 election the best ever. Thats true but a rigged election. Here at the white house, its business as usual for the staff. We are moving forward here at the white house under the assumption there will be a second trump term. I think its really important before people heads explode what we seek is certifiable ballots and signed affidavits by witnesss. Democrats continue to insist on the president elects team that lawsuits will do nothing more than delay the inevitable. Live coverage in the rose garden at 4 oclock. Back to you. Fascinating to see if President Trump takes questions or not. Kevin, thank you. The biden team. Peter doocy live in delaware. Hi, peter. We were just on a zoom call with transition officials who are giving us an update. They think the president elect earned a few days off so no Public Events schedule and one democrat susan wright responded to a Washington Post story on twitter about Hillary Clinton being discussed as a good fit for the ambassador to the u. N. Job. Wright said this is ridiculous and an insult to Hillary Clinton. Stop, please. Additional members of the biden team are coming forward. He thinks a future President Biden should order a 4 to 6 week lockdown and doesnt speak for everyone. There is a diversity of opinions on lockdowns. Instead of an on and off light switch, we are using a dimmer switch now. Its dialling up and dialling down in a much more targeted way. The chief of staff is telling us we should expect on day 1 for President Biden to order a federal mask mandate and require everybody on a federal property to wear a mask. Biden would ask governors in every state to ordered mandates everywhere. The president elect has quite a few things on his agenda for day 1 according to his campaign. Peter doocy, thank you very much. Now georgia where the recount is under way. A ton of decision on the run offs to determine control of the senate. Jonathan is there. With the balance of power in the u. S. Senate in play, megadonors will funnel lots of moninti this race. Setting new records leading up to the general election. Take a listen. A confidential briefing on the threat of coronavirus and starts dumping stocks as loeffler down plays the threat, she makes sale after sale. They will give the radicals total control. Saving the senate is about saving america. The georgia secretary of States Office launched a hand count of every ballot cast in the president ial race to verify the accuracy of the new voting machines. They expect the manual tally to be tightly different but not enough of a difference to change the outcome of the election. The result of this hand count in georgia will end up being the final official tally given in the president ial race. Of course, this did not affect the 2 senate run offs. Something tells me you will be a very busy man over the next 2 months. Thank you very much. Now to pennsylvania where more than one dozen lawsuits have been filed on behalf of President Trump. Today a judge is hearing appeals over lawsuits looking to toss thousands of ballots. Eric sean is in philadelphia. Hi. Yes, pennsylvania is supposed to have its certification of the vote den at as from now. 10 days from now. The Trump Campaign lawyers are asking them to hold off and not certify the election until the lawsuits are resolved and there is a fuel recount. 5 of the lawsuits had to do with over 8,000 votes President Trump wants to be bounced. The court is not alleging voter fraud issues here. A judge yesterday declared the secretary of state should not have extended the deadline for voters to fix mistakes on their ballots. The trump team said only the state legislature with order that and not an elected official. Only the Legislature May set the time, place and manner of elections. The secretary of state of the pennsylvania extended that deadline. People who are voting for the first time thanks have to provide some form of identification for the records of the state. Here they extended that. Some fo the records of the state. Here they extended that. The Trump Campaign has 15 lawsuits so far. The staff says the Campaign Strategy will succeed. These lawsuits are drasticing. We should be figuring out how we as a country can come together. Multiple times the president lawyers have been in state and federal court saying they dont have any evidence of voter fraud. But the Philadelphia District attorney has a special Election Fraud task force and will take any allegations. They want this to be honest, transparent and correct. Eric, thank you.

Get started today. New york congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez is continuing to defend the defund the Police Movement after moderate democrats claim that policy cost the party house seats. David miller is live with more. Alexandria ocasiocortez took part in a virtual town hall last night. It was during that town hall she repeated her call for the defunding of the police. Alexandria ocasiocortez not backing down from the position despite criticism from some democrats that her views cost the party seats in the recent election. The House Majority chip said the Defund Police hurt democrats at the poll. Alexandria ocasiocortez said this is when she is hearing from her own constituents. My community is demanding this. Its my job to listen. The head of the new York City Police union responded to alexandria ocasiocortezs response saying here this new york city, Violent Crime continues to spike. Year to date homicide are up 37 . Shootings compared to a year ago doubled. The city has slashed the nypds budget by 1 billion dollars. Despite ocasiocortezs rhetoric, she doesnt have any control into the funding of Police Department. That is at the discretion of local officials. It is only they who will decide how much money will be spent. Thank you. We bring in democratic Ohio Congress man and biden surge surrogate tim ryan. Do you believe that the defend the Police Movement cost them house seats this election . There is no question. That became a thing. I did it in my election. I was able to push back and win my election. But it hurt a lot. Its an effective line of attack that cost a number of our seats. Again, we have funded the police. Democrats put money in for the cops program and for technology and equipment and cameras. We funded the police. We had a lot to talk about. There is a big difference between that and trying to hold some Police Officer who does something wrong accountable. That needs to be done as well. Defund the police was a very, very bad thing for democrats and hurt us a lot. Senator joe manchin agrees with you. And tweeted this defund the police . Defund my butt we are the party of working men and women who want to protect americans jobs and healthcare. We dont have a crazy socialist agenda and dont believe in defunding the police. In response to that tweet alexandria ocasiocortez posted this picture of her kind of glaring at the back of senator joe manchins head during the state of the union address. This is a fight for the soul of your party. How do you see this playing out once the next congress is sworn in . Well, joe biden is the president now. He is the leader of the Democratic Party. I think his speech in pittsburgh was the architecture of what needs to be done. You fund the police and also hold the Police Accountable and take the temperature down to make people of color more safe. Then we have an adult discussion about the issues that need to be addressed. We have a president who will be able to do that. I am very, very confident of joe bidens ability to bring people together. Hes done it his entire career. This is one of many issues where we will bring democrats and republicans together. Thats what we want. There are so many issues we agree on. The majority of democrats are not for defunding the police. How do we find the bread and butter issues around jobs and Economic Security we all agree on . Before you get to inauguration day, you have to get through these georgia run offs. For democrats to regain control of the senate, you have to win both of those seats in georgia. How worried are you these kind of progressive policies are going to undermine your partys ability to take those 2 seats . Well, we have several weeks before the election to be very, very clear for our candidates in georgia to be clear. And cliburn to be very, very clear. Anybody paying attention knows that the vast majority of democrats are not for defunding the police. We have helped fund the police and local communities that need help with first responders. Democrats have been there. The heros act we are trying to pass now. State and local money if there so we dont have to layoff police and fire. The georgia candidates will talk about. The vast majority of people are voting on their pocketbook and covid. How do we get it under control and reduce healthcare cost and make sure they have a secure pension . Thats what normal people talk about. Thats what they want the politicians to talk about. Mnuchin and me and others want to talk about that because its a uniting thing in our party. I think georgia is the center of the political universe between now and the election. The run off elections. Thank you very much. Up next, the lockdowns looming as the u. S. Shatters another coronavirus record. Is it the right approach . We will ask an expert up next. Okay, youre all set up. Thanks that was my business gi, this ones casual. Get set up right with a live bookkeeper with intuit quickbooks. Good morning, mr. Sun. Good morning, blair. [ chuckles ] whoo. Im gonna grow big and strong. Yes, you are. Im gonna get this place all clean. Ill give you a hand. And im gonna put lisa on crutches wait, what . Said shes gonna need crutches. She fell pretty hard. You might want to clean that up, girl. Excuse us. When owning a Small Business gets real, progressive helps protect what you built with customizable coverage. And im gonna eh, eh, eh. Donny, no. Oh. The u. S. Setting another daily record for coronavirus cases with more than 150,000 reported yesterday. States roll out new restrictions and may have to lock down all over again. Casey more from dallas. Hi. Yes, what is so different now instead of just the sunbelt experiencing a surge like we saw over the summer, many different parts of the country are in the thick of things. Resources are thin and cases are climbing in all 50 states. Some places rolling back reopenings like in chicago. A stay at home advisory starts on monday. Others closing bars early. A growing number of schools across the country are also considering closing in Person Learning after thanksgiving. Some colleges mandating the students get tested before they head home for the holidays. More and more hospitals now reaching capacity causing patients to be diverted to other hospitals hundreds of miles away. Our hospital doctors, everybody is tired. They see the patients that are coming in. Its not just in our hospitals. All of my colleagues i talk to are realizing there are more patients coming in. Sicker patients coming in. As you can imagine, people are just tired. A new antibodies treatment is expected to be pushed out to medical centers in texas starting next week. Thank you. For more lets bring in a physician and professor of Public Health at John Hopkinss university and a fox news medical contributor. Lets start with the rise in cases heading into the colder months and the holidays. More people spending time inside with their loved ones. This increasing talk of a new round of shutdowns potentially nationwide. What do you think . Is this the right strategy . Well, we are taking a lot of infection into the fall. It will be a difficult next 4 months. Lockdowns are a very heavy hand. In terms of Health Outcomes its excessive. For example, with Hurricane Maria in puerto rico, the estimate that came out a year after the hurricane was 70 times higher than the official estimate at that time. There are indirect consequences that affect Health Outcomes. We will learn more about the deaths of child abuse and Substance Abuse and deferred medical care. Thats why lockdowns dont make sense on a national level. They should be targeted on local infection rates. We know to use masks and social distancing especially indoor. Your take on a National Mask mandate . Something the biden team has floated . There is little difference between a mask mandate and a mask advisory. People should be Wearing Masks indoors. We should not talk about weighing masks on beaches and places that dont make sense. In chicago, a lot of people upset at the citys mayor lightfoot because on saturday she was spotted out in big crowds celebrating joe bidens win. Then just a few days later on thursday, you have her ask people to cancel thanksgiving plans. What is your advice . People need to assess their personal risk. Santa barbara county is not the same as inner city baltimore. The primary driver is not class rooms or airlines. Its gatherings at homes where people are letting down their guard. Keep the fan blowing and keep a distance. My family will do it on a porch and hope for good weather. If not we will change the strategy. Planning my daughters third birthday in december. Its harder to do because its so cold outside. Doctor, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Thank you. Democrats are dealing with losing seats in the house of representatives. Why nancy pelosi says she is not worried about it. Up next. Sofi made it so easy to pay off my student loan debt. They were able to give me a personal loan so i could pay off all of my credit cards. I got my mortgage through sofi and the whole process was so easy. Choosing sofi was literally one of the best decisions i could have ever made because it gave me peace of mind. The dand it also tells members which way im going. I can just look at my phone and see my numbers. In real time. Its the easiest app in the world. And you dont have to prick your fingers at all. Its a you know, not having to prick my fingers anymore. Wow. Thats incredible. You know, i would have never dreamt that years ago. The dexcom gives me that knowledge and it gives me control. It gives me power to be who i want to be everyday. The bottom of the hour. Top headlines 2 people are dead after an explosion on the grounds of a Veterans Hospital in connecticut. Officials say the blast was caused by a steam pipe failure. In minneapolis the city council is giving the Police Department 500,000 to add extra officers to help with the recent surge in violence. In new york city, the show must go. On the macys thanksgiving day parade will have music and floats but there will be no crowds and the parade will be limited to just one city block. A major downsize from the normal 2. 5 mile parade route. Speaker of the house nancy pelosi is defending herself and her party after losing seats in the election. She is insisting that a smaller majority wont force them to compromise with republicans because they have a democrat in the white house. Chad live on capitol hill. Well, democrats are still smarting after their election losses. They thought they would pick up seats in the house of representatives. They will have a narrow majority. That raises questions about the leadership of nancy pelosi. Listen. [inaudible question] . [muffled audio]. [inaudible]. Democrats will be down to about 222 seats in the new congress. Pelosi needs 218 votes to return to the speakers chair. She lost 15 votes last time. Pelosi uses the quote know your power. I asked pelosi to define her power today. What does having a smaller majority mean . We have a president of the United States. Pelosi is no longer the center of the Democratic Political universe. Joe biden will be and democrats hope that will help the wounds between the progressive and conservative democrats. Lets bring in our political panel. Matt and chris. Guys, thanks for coming on the show today. I would like to start by getting your take on comments that congresswoman Debbie Dingle made yesterday. She said that the Democratic Party needs to take a closer look and understand why so many americans, 72 million americans voted for President Trump in this election. Listen. None of us can be judgemental. We need to look at the number of people that voted for President Trump and why. I am someone thinks there are people at the dinner table every night talking about issues they are worried about from whether their job is safe and trade deals and access to broadband in rural areas. Lowering the cost of Prescription Drugs and making sure with preexisting covera coverage we have a lot of common ground. Have democrats allowed republicans to define what they stand for . Absolutely. Democrats have to do a much more forceful job at pushing back on republican attempts to define their positions as something outside of the mainstream. The majority of democrats have policies will find perfectly acceptable. In fact they would support if they understood those issues as they were and not as they were defined by republicans. Republicans have been masterful over the past 20 years of changing the terms of the debate. The Democratic Party needs to push back. Your take . Well, congressman dingle is right. Trump did not come out of nowhere. Every president is a result or repudiation of their pred sessionor. Obama begot trump. If you are democrats the rise of aoc may be worrisome. She runs in a 90 democratic district. Thats not the way of the future for the Democratic PartyGoing Forward. And Going Forward you have the run off races in georgia. Chris, what is your advice right now to the Democratic Party . How do they win those 2 seats . Well, i think they have to remind georgia their current senators voted against aid that would have kept people employed and would have brought healthcare to georgia and would have helped the economy in this time of crisis. They were both profiting through the stock market on Insider Information ahead this virus. Thats something georgia needs to understand. It i think if the president of the United States goes into a deep funk, they will have a hard time getting Republican Voters out to vote in georgia. Why would the president help that state . Mitch mcconnell hurt the president s chance for getting reelected by not passing stimulus to help in georgia and arizona. Mitch mcconnell and the 2 republican senators in georgia voted for that stimulus, it would have helped the president. I expect the president to be playing golf in december and january while republicans are struggling to get those votes out. The Democratic Organization led by Stacey Abrams in georgia has done a masterful job of creating an environment where people feel ready to vote. It will be a tight race. Matt, your advice for the republican candidates in those races . Is it possible for democrats to take 2 senate seats in a red state . Its going to be close. No mistake about that. I will say a common cliche, but its true in this case its going to come down to turnout. This campaign will be waged over the holidays. People are sick and tired of political ads. You need voters to come out on a random tuesday in january. The republicans have been sending people down trying to move voters down there. They believe they have a good case against warnock and ossoff. Its a random day in january. There will be a ton of attention on this race between now and then. We will see what happens. Thank you very much. Week coming up. Former president obama is attacking President Trump and lumping in the entire Republican Party and claiming democracy is on the line. Explosive comments up next.

Is endangering rights like free speech and religious liberty. Shannon bream has the details in washington. Justice leo Terrell Leo Terrell did not mince words in his speech getting a lot of attention. Speaking to the Federalist Society last night. He said these covid19 restrictions are acting like a stress test on the constitution and added this. The pandemic has resulted in previously unimaginable restrictions on individual liberty. Its an indisputable statement of fact we have never before seen restrictions as severe, extensive and prolonged as those experienced for most of 2020. Alito warned about allowing restrictions to stretch beyond true emergency period. Power can be apuced. Abused and talked about religious liberties. In nevada kass casinos are open but houses of worship are limited to 50 people. The speech comes as there was an emergency petition spending in the Supreme Court asking the judges to block governor cuomos restrictions on houses of worship while Hardware Stores are still open. We may get a ruling on that next week. We will watch for it. Thank you very much. Great to see you. Former president barack obama is firing back at President Trump and the republicans over their accusations of widespread Election Fraud. Heres what he said on 60 minutes. They appear to be motivated, in part, because the president doesnt like to lose and never admits loss. I am more troubled by the fact that other republican officials who clearly know better are going along with this. Are humoring him in this fashion. Its one more step in de delegitimizing democracy. Thats a dangerous path. Fox news contributor, bill, you heard the former president s comments. He accuses republicans of delegitimizing democracy . Well, for one thing its interesting that the former president thinks he knows other peoples movies. Motives. I think the obamas didnt get the memo on demonization. She accused trump voters of voting for hate and division and now her husband says they are undermining democracy. I dont think donald trump will be successful in finding enough fraud to get a court to give him the election. However, as long as what he is doing is legal, he is entitled to it. I would say let it play out. If it plays out the way former president obama says it will, then i think joe biden would be in an Even Stronger position. I dont understand why its a threat to democracy to let things play out. The distinction here that the former president is trying to make is that its one thing to ask for a recount which is legitimate in states where races are close like georgia and wisconsin. But another thing to claim widespread electoral proud and the Trump Campaign has yet to provide any hard evidence of widespread fraud in court. Okay. My view is if thats true, the courts will soon throw this out. I think its rich for the former president to talk about undermining democracy given what the people in his Justice Department did in 2016. But this is 2020. It is 2020. But where do you think people got this idea . Almost every Democratic Party leader spent the last 4 years calling donald trump illegitimate. I think its going to be resolved fairly quickly. I dont think the courts will let this drag out. Think it will be resolved. I dont understand why we are coming up and accusing people of bad motives while this is going on. I didnt hear any of this when al gore contested the 2000 election. When there was real evidence that some democrats were trying to steal that election. A lot of this is just politics. Let it play out. Then we will live by the results. Hopefully we will have a little bit of clarity over the next couple of days as recounts in georgia gets under way. A hand recount there. Thank you very much. Thank you. Up next, spacex another historic liftoff. The Kennedy Space center. Jim gray opens up about his sit downs with the biggest names in sports history.

The president will give an update on operation warp speed and the race for a coronavirus vaccine. He had a briefing on that earlier t
