Mitch mcconnell gives or what title the Opposition Party uses to talk about the duly elected incoming president of the United States. In a fundamental democratic sense, elections end because of the voters, not anyone else. They are determined by an impartial counting of votes cast freely and fairly with the winner claiming the title of winner free whatever antics or conspiracy theories or whining there is by the losers. And, so, in that sense, it has been very clear for weeks that joe biden will be the 46th president of the United States. Donald trump will join the category of oneterm president s, historically notable and famous group of political losers. But what has been so very fun to watch over the last six weeks is that in a deeper sense, right, democracies do defend on the loser conceding and the peaceful transfer of power as a baseline principal that all parties and participants buy into. The acknowledgment of that democratic legitimacy by the loser and his or her party is kind
Worse, as youre saying. Were seeing an incredible surge. The hospitals are full. The rollout of pfizers vaccine continues across the country. Were going to see the Vice President get it alongside the second lady, alongside the certain Surgeon General. Theyre doing that to try to instill confidence in people. Congress drawing closer to a stimulus deal with the lives of millions of americans on the line. The fact that we cant come together on a bipartisan basis on what is essentially disaster relief, i think, is shameful. Announcer this is new day with Alisyn Camerota and john berman.

This is a hearing about the pat, Patient Involvement in fda drug approvals, and i think we can agree they deserve a seat at the table. When companies are developing drugs and medical devices within the Clinical Trial process. I have long been a supporter of the department of defenses congressionallydirected medical Research Program known as the cdmrp. It funds peerreviewed research into Breast Cancer, autism, ovarian cancer, Prostate Cancer and other diseases. And since 1993 the patients have been involved and have been attar of cdmrp, and they have a consumer reviewer as part of the peerreviewed possible to represent the stakeholder community. And its been very successful in combining Patient Perspectives and needs with Scientific Research and bringing those perspectives together. Has fda, as you begin to consider improving Patient Involvement, have you looked at cdrmp to see if theres anything you can borrow from that in the drug approval process . Uhhuh. We have not, and thats a goo
But let me just bring it back to one thing. However i agree with he and the brotherhood that undemocratic things go for it all of this is true. The point is their exclusion we are seeing one face after another but i caused euros on politics. Lack of consensus building. The brotherhood did it when they were in power and the military backed government is doing that now. Instead of bargaining with their political opponents do you try to completely ask is that, eliminate them and force through your own decisions. I think its really leaving egypt in a very troubling and potentially unstable situation that will go on and on. These countries that went through transitions had a praising. People knew in tunisia, egypt, et cetera, they knew what they did and why. You remember in egypt read, freedom, social is, dignity. These are brought concepts, they need to translate that into an actual plan. These roundtables and so forced and they came up with they came up with a plan of where they wanted to
