President ial votes, and biden remains the winner in georgia. The state has until friday to certify the results, though by law the Trump Campaign can still request another recount. Trumps effort to subvert the Election Results has taken on a new and more dangerous and ominous turn. As the Washington Post puts it tonight, quote, the president is now trying to remain in power with a wholesale assault on the integrity of the vote. That gets us to today, and today may be remembered when all the craziness is over for one thing. And its this visual. Rudy giulianis hair dye started dripping down his face after an outbreak of flop sweat during a press conference which will only be remembered for conspiracy theories and dark liquid. It was rambling, repugnant, reprehensible, hysterical. And as the man just fired by trump for protecting the security of our election said on twitter today, it was the most dangerous 1 hour, 45 minutes of television in american history. Indeed the dark seepage almos
We still have no idea how Many Americans are Walking Around with this virus. The biggest message from the president today, the states should be handling this, as he put it, speaking on behalf of the federal government, were a back up. He says the states should have had more equipment and ppe already on hand. He said they should have been on the open markets just buying before the pandemic. And he repeated for good measure nobody had any even heard of Something Like this. Today he took a shot at saying out loud what he wants the truth to be going forward. Today he said the federal government acted early which is not true. They did not. Here we are widely considered to be months behind, and we just became the first nation on the planet to mark 1,000 deaths in one 24hour period. Today, the number of known cases around the globe went past 1 million. 243,000 of those here in the United States were, again, because of testing. We dont have reliable numbers. Over 5,800 souls have died. In the

Over 5,800 souls have died. In the past 24 hours, 29,000 new cases and over1,000 new deaths. As for the economic toll, today we learned that last week 6. 6 million americans applied for unemployment benefits. Total of 9. 9 Million People are out of work right now. The number of people out of work is now a number greater than the individual pop
often, again today, straight up misinformation from that podium? well, i mean, you could see the inconsistency as dr. gupta is talking about in this briefing today. it was 2 hours and 20 minutes of inconsistencies. and at times the people on the stage contradicting each other. take the issue of face masks. you had the president when we asked him about this every day this week is there going to be a recommendation on face masks. the president recommending people wear a scarf and saying that in some ways the scarf could be better than a surgical mask because it is thicker. maybe the doctor can address that. but i don t see doctors wears scarves in the operating room, so i m going to think maybe a surgical mask is a bit better. but they don t want people going out and buying surgical masks so the president is talking about scarves. a moment later you had dr. birx almost contradict that saying we don t want to give people a
quite a real stunning statement and inexcusable. now, look, you re right. what we really need is clear and crisper messaging from cdc and some empowered messaging from cdc on things like should everyone in the country be staying at home? answer, yes, we all should be except for essential workers who are doing the essential tasks. and should we have a national standard on face masks and other things like that? obviously there are huge gaps here, and this unevenness is leading to uncertainty. in the public like dr. gupta discussed in your first segment. more importantly it s leading to real uncertainty about what state and local government should do. that lack of clarity is a real problem in a response where what the president s basically said is, governors, you re in charge. and they need direction on what they should be doing when they re put in charge. ron klain, thank you for always answering the bell when we call, and please look forward to many more as we re going to need to talk
