I have the pleasure today of moderating this conversation between two outstanding policymakers and scholars. And the us china relationship. And working in the Defense Department and mongolia and the commissioner congressionally mandated Security Review Commission and the author of a terrific new book which is called the china nightmare. And we will be talking about it with him and with retired Lieutenant General hr mcmaster. And a reputation and military service one of those adaptive mines in the American Military i am delighted to have both of them here with us today. I am sorry neglected to say hr is also the author of a new book called battleground. Thank you both for making time for china policy. Thank you very much thank you for your leadership at aei and mr. Mcmaster for joining us. And to have reshaped china policy last few years. I am very thankful as we all are for doing that. The china nightmare, what does my book mean by that . China certainly has grand ambitions and power b
First time in decades. Well talk to cindy mccain about his achievement and her role in the biden Transition Team. Plus y more republicans are side with the president elect on a matter of national security. And the dawn of a new era in space travel. Well have an inside look at a Landmark Mission for four astronauts launching this weekend. But first, heres todays eye opener. Its your world in 90 seconds. Were running out of time and were running out of options. Weve gone through hell. Keep going. This is literally a matter of life and death. The u. S. Sinks deeper into the coronavirus pandemic. The country isnt just breaking records. Its blowing through them. Wearing the mask, they think its uncomfortable and annoying. You know whats really uncomfortable and annoying . When you die. Republican senators are calling on the administration to give biden Intelligence Briefings. Theres no legal basis. Hes getting support from members of the Republican Party who are not challenging him. And tha
Line here, it too on track for a record close. An effective vaccine now more important than ever as the pandemic death toll today topped 250,000 americans. Yesterday alone, more than 1500 people died. One of the biggest obstacles to rolling out a new vaccine, we talked about this, maintaining the ultralow temperatures needed to transport tens of millions of doses. The ceo of the u. S. Company that says it can get it done is here. Hes churning out his medical grade freezers as fast as he can. We will show you what it takes to achieve refrigeration nation. With cases spiking, businesses, yeah, you will dread this, sending workers back home again. Are you dreading zoom group calls . We are about to show you a new video platform that may have you considering the switch. Plus, chris krebs, that trump appointee the president fired last night by tweet for saying the election was secure, has just himself tweeted out a defense. We will show you that tweet and the two protrump senators siding wi
Im becky quick along with yoe kernen and Andrew Ross Sorkin. As joe mentioned, we are seeing green arrows today reversing a lot of the losses that we saw yesterday. Yesterday the dow was down by 317, this morning it picked up 272 points in the futures so far. Also the s p up by about 32 after it was country down by 1 yesterday. And nasdaq up by 95 this morning after it was down about 76 points yesterday yesterday was the worst day of the month, but there are crazy good numbers dow up by 10 for the honesty to da month to date and nasdaq is up 7 for the month of november so far too. Also lets take a look at the treasury market. The ten year note is sitting right at 0. 896 . So back below 0. 9 , we had flirted with the idea of seeing it finally hit 1 , but it is not there yet. Andrew thanks, becky as joe mentioned, president elect joe biden has nowofficially won the state of arizona, nbc making that call late last night. He is the first democrat to win in arizona since president clinton b
9 12 this morning the soon to be former president tweeted, stop the count i guess nobody listened because half an hour later he retweeted, stop the count why are they still counting . I tweeted stop. He also wrote, stop the fraud, which should have been a note to self. There was so much false propaganda coming out of twitterlers bunker. Any vote that came in after election day will not be counted. The planes going down and all he can do is keep hitting the call button to get the Flight Attendant to bring him another diet coke. By the way, a lot of ballots that come in from election day are from troops serving overseas. The irony of a draft dodger trying to negate those votes is more delicious than the 12 dunk cups of Honey Mustard he dipped his mcnuggets in today. Trumps lead in georgia and pennsylvania is smaller than these little boodles of baby carrots he calls hands. The race being so close in georgia was a big surprise. But pennsylvania, the reason joe biden is strong in pennsylva
