Former president george w. Bush, the twoterm republican who did not support President Trump in 2016 and who did not publicly endorse trump or biden, for that matter, this year. These words from former president pubush today. The American People can have confidence that this election was fundamentally fair. Its integrity will be upheld and its outcome is clear. Bush went on to say that in facing the challenges ahead, we must come together for the sake of our families and neighbors and our nation and its future. And he concluded, we urge all americans to join us in wishing our next president and Vice President well, as they prepare to take up their important duties. Lets get right to cnn who joins us from the biden headquarters in wilmington. How important is it that former president bush release this Statement Today . Well, ana, its very significant that the former president george w. Bush, a republican, spoke with president elect joe biden and offered this call of unity at a time when the country is still very divided. In that statement president bush talked about how president elect biden has earned the opportunity to lead this country and try to unify the country as well. Now, this comes, this outreach from a republican president , comes as the current president , president donald trump, has not yet communicated with joe biden as you often see happen during a transition period. At this point the biden transition has not heard from the white house or the president. They also have not yet connected as far as we know with Senate Majority leader mitch mcconnell, who could be a key partner in the future for joe biden. They have a years long relationship, and they may have to negotiate together if there is a divided congress. But really right now this statement from former president george w. Bush cannot be overstated how important it is that he is out there saying that he is praying for the next president of the United States and also urging these calls for unity. Biden spent his first morning visiting the grave of his late son bowe, who died of brain cancer in 2015, and then there was this moment last night. We know how much beau biden loved coldplay. Why do you think moments like this are so important to him . Reporter this event has been so personal for the biden family. They have endured so many tragedies, including the loss of beau biden in 2013. Coldplay, his favorite band, playing while fireworks hit lit up the sky and on eagles wings, a hymn beau biden loved. He visited his grave this morning and hes certainly carrying his presence with him as he heads to the white house. Arlette saenz in wilmington, thank you. At the white house, a source tells cnn that Melania Trump is telling her husband, its time to accept his election loss, but not all members of the family feel the same. Cnns Jeremy Diamond is at the white house now. What are you learning . Reporter weve been understanding for the last couple of days that the views inside the trump administration, within the president s inner circle, have about diverging whether or not the president should continue to fight this out, engage in every single legal battle he possibly can to try to reverse the outcome of this election, or whether he should graciously concede and accept his loss in this 2020 election. Now we are getting a clear picture of who is on witch side. Our colleague kate bennett reporting that the first lady, Melania Trump, she has advised the president its time to accept that loss. Kaitlan collins has been reporting that Jared Kushner, be the president s soninlaw, he has advised he has approached the president about conceding. Now, these are reports that are being disputed by the Trump Campaign. Senior adviser jason miller says Jared Kushner has been advising the president to pursue all legal available avenues right now. One thing is clear, this president at this moment, hes in no mood to concede. And his campaign has made very clear that they are, indeed, moving forward with those legal fights, even though every lawyer, including ben ginsburg, have made very clear theres almost no chance this will overturn the outcome of the election. So far what we have heard from this campaign is making a lot of wild allegations about this notion of fraud in the 2020 election without providing much evidence at all. Now, there are, though, some in the Trump Campaign who are encouraging the president to continue to press forward and to continue to fight the outcome of this election. That includes the president s two adult sons, don jr. And eric trump. Ive been told both of them have been encouraging other republicans, republican governors, republican senators and allies of the president here in washington to continue to fight the outcome of this election. Eric trump, ive been told, has told allies in washington in recent days that he believes that this election is being stolen from the president and that they are both advising the president to continue to fight this out. We have seen in the president s statements that this is exactly what he is doing at this point. The question is, once those legal avenues are exhausted, what will the president do and will we see the president at some point accept and send a message to his millions of supporters around the country that joe biden is the duly elected 46th president of the United States. Thank you. Keep us posted. Joining us is democratic representative and majority whip James Clyburn of South Carolina. Thank you for being with us. Thank you very much for having me. Congressman clyburn, as much as i know you are celebrating the victory of your friend and fellow democrat, joe biden, this wasnt a landslide. Despite 237,000 americans dead in the pandemic, despite a Major Economic crisis, despite the racial reckoning this country has faced in the past several months and trumps past comments about shole countries and good people on both sides, about 70 million Americans Still voted for President Trump. What does that tell you about where america is right now . Well, thank you very much for having me. You know, it tells me what ive always know, i lead my entire life here in South Carolina. In fact, every address ive ever had has been within the sixth Congressional District that i proudly represent. Theres one thing that i know, and that is this country keeps battling with notions of race. And that is a big problem in the country. Many of us have been trying to get this issue addressed for years. Most people in the country would rather pretend it doesnt exist. When you have a president who continues to say there is no such thing as systematic racism and a president who continues to insult people racially, as youve just noted, and people believe this president. And too many people do. So, thats what were wrestling with. And i know that to be a problem if im doing everything i can to help the country get beyond it. But he did the same thing with this pandemic. We know people are dying and he keeps saying, a cure is right around the corner. Were going to have a vaccine even before the election. The election has come and its gone and we constitutionstill d vaccine. Youd be surprised how many people believe were going to have a vaccine before the election because thats what trump said. Thats the problem. And it is a problem we have to deal with Going Forward and i hope joe biden can help restore the kind of integrity that we have always known in the presidency. Thats why i was so proud to see george w. Bush making a statement that he made today. Hes always been a standup kind of guy and im always pleased to call him a buddy. I never called him a good friend because we really arent Close Friends but hes been a buddy throughout the time that ive known him. You heard Jeremy Diamonds report before us about where the president s head is today, not letting go of his power, still clinging to this idea that, you know, perhaps election isnt over. He does have 73 days left in office. What do you think hell do . I dont know what hell do. Nobody has been able to predict this president. Rest assured, whatever he does or says, it will be all about him. He will never say anything or do anything to benefit this country. This country has been more than good to him and his family. And they continue to treat this country and its people with disdain. Dont know you know what africanamericans have given to this country . How many people, black soldiers coming back from world war ii couldnt even get a loan, a Veterans Administration loan, couldnt even get an education, and still go along to love for this country. And really i think about doc rivers, the basketball coach almost daily. We talked about how much we have loved this country and the country refuses to love us back. The reason the country refuses to love us back, because there are so many Donald Trumps who stand up and represent the what i call the bad side in this country. Theyre not patriots. Theyre sunshine patriots, if anything, and some are soldiers. Weve had some real soldiers, people of color who have given so much to this country and still we have people in leadership who pretend they dont exist. I told someone earlier today, an africanamerican from South Carolina coming back home from world war ii, having just won helped the country win that fight and stopped at a bus station in South Carolina and a Deputy Sheriff with his uniform on punched his eyes out. And he died a blind man. Truman, harry truman, when they saw that said, we cannot live like this. Thats what forced him to integrate the Armed Services by executive order. And i remind people, the president can do a lot with an executive order. And i think joe biden realizes that. Integrate the Armed Services by executive order. Please remember the emancipation proclamation was an executive order. Thats what freed the slaves in the district of columbia and until the 13th amendment came around, all we had was the emancipation proclamation. So, i think joe bidens going to give the country leadership in this country that needs to be given. As he said last night, africanamericans in this country have always had his back. And he has said, he will have our backs going into the future. Quickly, if you may, i do want to play some sound that i thought was really striking yesterday as people were reacting to the news that joe biden had won this election. I dont know if you caught this moment with vaughn jones on our air but listen to this. If youre muslim in this country, you dont have to worry if the president doesnt want you here. If youre an immigrant, you dont have to worry if the president s going to be happy to have send dreamers back for no reason. Its vindication for a lot of people who have really suffered, you know, i cant breathe. That wasnt just george floyd. That was a lot of people that felt they couldnt breathe. Congressman, you have fought your whole life to make america more equal, more fair, more whole. Whats your reaction to what we just heard there. Well, my reaction is much like van jones. I know van. And i and i did not see that report, but it has been shared with me. And i appreciate his emotion. And i suspect i have gotten to the point in my life where i really, really try to control my emotions a little bit these days, but i feel what he feels. Ive always felt it. I love this country. When i was a kid growing up in little town something South Carolina not far from here, we used to stand up every morning and say the pledge. I was proud to say the pledge. I was proud to close that pledge with liberty and justice for all. Even though i knew we did not have liberty and justice for all in this country. I also am proud of the fact that we are on a journey toward a more perfect union. And thank god that the people who elected joe biden so we can step back from the brink and keep moving forward toward that. Donald trump, did everything he could to undercut that movement and to turn the clock back on the progress in this country and the people have now spoken and to the tune 4 million more voted for joe than voted for him. Congressman James Clyburn, thank you very much for joining us. Thank you so much for having me. Very few know what its like to sit at the resolute desk in the oval office. That shared experience has bonded previous administrations regardless of politics. That may not be the case with President Trump. Coming up how President Trumps plans and the transition differ from past president s. Youre live in the cnn newsroom. Is not the same.

Inauguration of joe biden and President Trump still hasnt conceded. Sources tell us there are no plans for trump to invite biden to the white house for the traditional oval office meeting. Back in 2016 thenpresident obama still extended that invite to president elect trump. Despite a Bitter Campaign and even despite the birther proposition trump had against obama. Lets discuss this with timothy neftali. Good to have you here. Biden obviously doesnt need a tour of the white house. Hes been there. But what does it say if trump never even extends the invite . Well, theres a lot more at stake, a than simply the symbo. That is really sort of the sort of the top of the myrpyram. There is supposed to be sharing of information and intelligence with biden as president elect. Thats supposed to begin as soon as the incoming president is recognized as the president elect. Now, for the American People, its when the when ap and news organizations call the election, but for the government, its when the president actually concedes. One of the things im concerned about is the president s foot dragging, should it continue, will actually undermine the sharing of highly important intelligence materials with president elect biden, which is supposed to happen by now. Al gore was receiving this information even during the contested election of 2000. So, there are things that can be that should be not only the symbolic meeting should happen, but there are things at a lower level that should be happening and as long as the president doesnt concede, the federal government may not act on those important traditions. I want to ask you about another tradition for outgoing president s to leave a letter on the resolute desk for their successor, letters that have become symbolic of what a peaceful transition of power should look like, maybe no more illustrative than george w. Bush wrote to clinton. Im not one to give advice but dont let the critics discourage you or push you off course. Youll be president when you read this note. I wish you well. I wish your family well. Your success now is our countrys success. Im rooting hard for you. What lessons exist there, tim . Well, thats a tradition that actually only started relatively recently, but it highlights the fact that in the modern era, president s have, regardless of party, have wished their successors well. They have not seen it it in any way to stop their legacy. That clearly is a tradition about to end. We can already see in the narrative that President Trump is pushing that he is not interested in helping the incoming biden administration. And its worrisome, and essentipecially worrisome becau were in a National Crisis right now. Were at a time when we cant afford that 71 Million People disagree with 76 Million People over the nature of the coronavirus and what we need to do to flatten the curve. Right. Timothy naf teftali, appreciater wisdom.

Sarah for a while ive had like a, kind of negative self image. There was like this contrast between like the way that i was thinking about my personality and the way that i was thinking about my body. With noom, i was able to learn how to interrupt those habits and create new ones. So my goal was 35 pounds and ive lost about 30 pounds now. So. Ive never been this confident in my body.

I shop on Rakuten Rakuten we are watching history unfold as senator Kamala Harris becomes the first woman, the first woman of color, first south asian and first black woman to be elected Vice President. In her victory speech she said she stood on the shoulders of women who came before her and she praised her running mate who put her on the ticket. What a testament it is so joes character that he had the audacity to break one of the most substantial barriers that exists in our country and select a woman as his Vice President. Barbara boxer, former u. S. Senator of california, is joining us now. Thank you for being here with us. Kamala harris chose the use the word audacity in describing joe bidens choice of her for Vice President. Does that resonate with you . Absolutely. I mean, we all know what a safe choice is, and he didnt go there. He wanted to have a woman and a woman of color and he chose senator harris. Joe is a spectacular human being and i think that choice was so healing for the country, in my opinion, just looking at that ticket. Weve been going through such difficult times, and he talked about unity. Here you have a ticket where you have an older person, a younger person, you have a male, a female, different ethnicities. It was a unified ticket. And its exciting. I know a little bit about making history. I did it with three other women in 92 after anita hill. Shes the one that worked the grounds for us. Its an extraordinary feeling because the fight for womens equality has been very hard. Much harder than people, i think, notice. Its been a long, long drawn out fight and even before Kamala Harris, before hillary clinton, before sarah palin, there was geraldine fer rraro, 36 years a. To think about how long its taken, how does that make you feel . Well, its sort of a relief. I dont know how else to put it, that were moving toward equality. We have a very long way to go, but believe me, when i first started out, i cant tell you what it was like. And i ran for local office and i had the audacity to do it because hardly any women was on the board of supervisors in san francisco. One women representative knocked on the door. Who is it . Barbara boxer. I didnt think you would be that short. I said, what does that have to do with anything . She said, i could never vote for you. Why . Because you have four children and youre abandoning them. She read i had four children. I said, lady, when you give birth, you dont forget it, trust me. So true, so true. Hillary clinton, youll recall, made that now famous statement when she conceded the race in 2008 to barack obama. Let me remind everyone. Although we werent able to shatter that highest, hardest Glass Ceiling this time, thanks to you, its got about 18 million cracks in it. 18 million cracks in that ceiling back then. 59 million in 2016. But when do you think that highest ceiling will finally be broken . Well, when we get to 50 of senators, thats a start. You know, when i when i got in there, they called it the year of the woman. That was 1993 when i got sworn in. Do you know how many women there were . Six out of 100 and they said, oh, weve done it, year of the woman. Honestly, its been a slug. And now were still only in the 20s in the United States senate. So, we have a ways to go. But i do think kamala will be i should say Vice President elect harris will be an amazing role model. Because of that, so many young women will choose politics as a vocation. And in my view, its an exciting thing because you can really help people and thats the main thing. Women are good at helping people in general. We need to support each other, thats for sure. Now theres this new standard, new expectation for what is possible. Former senator barbara boxer, thank you for taking the time. Despite President Trumps refusal to concede, many World Leaders arent waiting to send their congratulations to president elect joe biden.

Fireworks, big celebration for those in Southern India where harris grandfather was born, soon to be calling the u. S. Vice president the pride of the village. [ applause ] this is in western ireland where joe biden still counts several relatives. This loud celebration reacting to the news that their native son was elected president of the United States. A large street mural of biden was painted for the occasion. You can see american flags flying there. Cnns chief International Anchor Christiane Amanpour is with us now. Lets just talk about how the rest of the world is reacting to the u. S. Election results. First, how are americas al you what about our adversaries as well . Well, look, on the allied system really the biggest allies are the europeans. Theyve been allies for the last 75 years and thats the biggest bloc. And they really are relieved. I said that last night. Today its almost like that relief, that elation has sort of turned into just this giant cloud lifting. Its pretty hard to overestimate just how much toxicity there was in the relationship under President Trump, how much chaos and disruption and noise, and the allies, its almost like theyre coming out of this long tunnel of posttraumatic stress. It really has felt like that. To the point i remember asking officials when just before the election who would you want to win . What about if trump won again . They almost didnt dare mention their biggest fear, the allies, and that would be trump pulling out of nato after spending four years denigrating it and the like. So, theyre very, very pleased theyre going to hopefully see a return to a more normal u. S. President ial engagement, u. S. Administration engagement, multilateral institutions, you know, the u. S. President acting as a force for cooperation, helping with the heavy lift on many issues. For instance, the pandemic. This president pulled out of the World Health Organization, pulled funding in the middle of a pandemic whereby the health of the World Health Organization says unless there is cooperation and coordination around the world, its not going to be defeated. The u. S. Generally does that sort of coalition building. So theres a hublg amount of relief. We hear even some people are very concerned that the u. S. That they got to know over the decade since the end of the second world war, the u. S. That promoted human rights, respect for democracy, all those things was kind of doing precisely the opposite. You had the authoritarians and the more autocratic populous nationalist leaders essentially getting on better than President Trump than the real Democratic Leaders of europe and elsewhere. So, many of the oppositions there, the populous nationalist hitched their wagon to President Trump but there is a sense of maybe theres a new dawn, maybe, but theyre not really expecting a massive new engagement because they know the American People have spoken and the American People dont want to be all over the place all the time. Not every world leader, i guess, has been immediately positive about joe bidens victory over donald trump. Some were slow to react publicly. Others were a little less upbeat in their response. Im thinking of israels Prime Minister netanyahu. What kind of Global Climate is biden jumping into . Well, look, its one he has to do a lot of fixing up just in terms of lets just take the middle east, as you said. One thing historically that the american president has done has acted as a thirdparty, an honest thirdparty between the israelis and palestinians to help try to achieve this elusive peace deal. That literally went out the window over the last four years under President Trump where the administration put all its eggs in Prime Minister netanyahus basket. Vicepresident biden is not going to move the embassy from jerusalem to tel aviv. But will he try to regenerate some kind of credible Peace Process between the palestinians and israelis . Well wait to see. On iran, for instance, its true that israel, saudi arabia, the gulf states liked President Trumps action and his policies because they are trying to put up a wall to isolate iran. But most of the allies want to see biden, the president elect, bring the United States back into the iran nuclear deal. You remember trump pulled out without having any alternative, so theres just iran with no nuclear deal to constrain it. The allies would like to see him go back into the climate, obviously. And then the human rights and humanitarian issue. You know, whether its the muslim ban that was really quite cruel at the beginning of this presidency, whether its the kids who have been separated, babies separated from their families at the mexico border. We know because of reporting some 545 kids who america just lost their parents. Theyre still separated. They havent been reunited. Well, yeah. Because they canned find tht f. This is not what the world is used to from the american president. Theyre used to a much more compassionate, kind, policies which really take in human rights and respect democracy.

Trebek passed away peacefully at home with his wife and their family of three at his side. Trebek hosted more than 8,000 episodes of jeopardy over 37 years. Heres a quick look at his very first episode, back in 1984. Alex trebek thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of all of us, welcome to americas favorite answer and question game, jeopardy . Trebek recorded his final jeopardy episode late last month. That episode were told will air on december 25th, christmas day. I want to bring in mike richards, the executive producer of jeopardy . Mike, its got to be a tough day for you. I just want to say how sorry i am for your loss. How are you doing, how are you processing this loss . Thank you, ana. Its a very tough day for the jeopardy staff, crew, all of his fans, but especially, as you mentioned, his wife, who we have been with for 30 years. They are truly a love story. And they were lucky to have each other. Were doing okay. You know, we love him and miss him already. Talk a little more about that relationship. What did he mean to you . You know, he was i sent him a note late yesterday. I think this will explain kind of who the man was. He was the most professional person ive ever worked with in any capacity. Here he was battling cancer, pain, chemo, exhaustion, but you couldnt tell when the cameras rolled. As a professional, the fact that he kept pushing and that he recorded his final what would now be his final episodes less than two weeks ago gives you an idea of just how much he believed in the show, how much he cared for it. But as a man, he was an amazing dad and he loved jeanne so much that it was inspirational. What i told him was i wanted to thank him for showing me how to be a better man at work and even more importantly, a better man with my family and my wife. He was he was really that great. Its incredible to think that he filmed his last episode, he was still working as recently as about a week and a half ago, on october 29th, right . How emotional was that taping for him and for you . Did you know it was going to be the last . Was he quickly declining at that point . You know, we didnt know that it was going to be his last. It was the first time he had we usually do five shows a day. He did three and two on monday and tuesday. He was in pain and we knew it. He had had surgery. I couldnt believe he was already back from the surgery that he had had just two weeks before that. I had chills the entire tape day. That first show of that final week, which is unbelievably the week of christmas, he gives a speech talking about togetherness, how important family is, and it will resonate even more now. It was so beautiful that we were all emotional, we were all in tears, and we all started clapping. It almost distracted him because he was going, okay, now lets play jeopardy but it was one of those days, it was just he was at the top of his game, even though clearly he was very ill. Right. And i think, you know, he was so public about his battle with cancer, and yet one of the reasons i think his death comes as a surprise for a lot of people is he didnt retire from his hosting duties. Why do you think he chose not to retire . He really believed in the importance of jeopardy . Maybe that sounds corny on today of all days, but he really thought it was important what he was doing. And it is. He loved that jeopardy popularized intelligence and it was important for him. It was the thing he looked forward to. As he said, a lot of Different Things comes with being a tv star, but that time when he was in the studio, when he was hoetsing the game, he loved it. Thats why he kept driving himself to do it. I still dont understand why he was doing it really other than he just loved it. And wanted to be there. More than 8,000 episodes of jeopardy he hosted, 37 years. What was the secret, do you think, to his success, his longevity . You know, i think he really became synonymous with the show in that he really was that smart. He was selfdepurecating. I was in the writers room. We met every morning before the show. He had gone through every clue, including the last taping. He went through all of them, 61 per show, rewrote them, gave his flavor. Sometimes called into question the information, and because he had the knowledge in a different way. I mean, he really was the show. I mean, he my first day meeting him, he started to quiz me about a place in england he had visited. Its just who he was. He craved knowledge. And it showed. Yeah, and it definitely shined through, his authenticity in all of that. Mike richards, thank you for the conversation. Again, our heart goes out to you and the whole jeopardy family. Thank you very much. He was a great man. Absolutely, you sure was may he rest in peace. Front Line Health Care workers have been battling covid19 day in and day out for more than six months.
