vice president-elect kamala harris met virtually with their newly formed coronavirus advisory board. after the briefing biden offered a message. calling for unity and acknowledging science. >> the selection is over. it's time to put aside the partisan ship and the rhetoric that designed to demonize one another. i won't be president until january 20. my message is to everyone. is this. it doesn't matter who you voted for. whether you stood before election day. it doesn't matter your party or point of view. we can safe tens of thousands of lives if everyone would wear a mask for the next few months. not democrat or republican lives. american lives. >> donald trump is kicking off what already promises to be a chaotic and lame duck presidency. with the first act of pettiness. fires defense secretary on twitter. giving a hint of what we could be in for. over the next 72 days. buckle up. biden was doing actual work trump was rage tweeting and spreading misinformation about votes that defeated him in pennsylvania and nevada. the ones that delivered a one, two punch saturday. propelling biden past 270. and widening his electoral margin. they haven't called the winners of battleground arizona and georgia. with biden leading in both. georgia already has big implications for a biden presidency. senate races head to a january run off. that determine control of the united states senate and how much of biden's plans can be reality. the transition is already working behind the scenes to hit the ground running. biden transition team worked for months to have a team in place to help implement his agenda starting day one. among the prior ties the pandemic. economic recovery. calls for racial equity and climate change. i'm joined my congressman clyburn of south carolina. the man is credited by many people with having given joe biden the boost that really got him the white house. that really got him the nomination. great to talk with you. leader clyburn. >> thank you. >> let's talk about this. you know joe biden very well. you heard him there talking about we'll let the science lead and wants to bring the country together marly around this pandemic. the question is how do you do that? the house is still controlled by democrats. of course house whip majority whip. you have the senate on the other side it doesn't sound like mcconnell will be in a mood to cooperate. give us reasonable expectations about what president-elect biden can accomplish. >> thanks for having me. mitch mcconnell i know very well. he gives great speeches. he's a real shrewd political person. he's also an american. and i would hope that his patriotism will show through. the fact is very clear. covid-19 must be dealt with. and as you said, we must do it with the science. it looks as if there maybe a vaccine on the horizon. and hopefully that would prove to be the case. where do we go from here? we have to heal the country. racial inequity are beginning to over take the country. we have been on the pursuit for a long time. what we call a more perfect union. i call it the pursuit. in pursuit of a perfect union. more perfect union. we got derailed with that. the last several years have seen us take backwards steps in that pursuit. this administration wants to deal with it. a lot of people said just go ahead and deal with the -- no. covid-19 has revealed about what inequity is all about. healthcare delivery. education. all this has been exacerbated because of the covid-19. if joe biden gets his arms wrapped around this pandemic it will start us towards a much better place in our society. i'm all for him doing covid-19 first. it has implications for everything. look at -- broad band. >> here's the challenge. the senator that was just reelected from your state and the south carolina lindsey graham. is sounding more like the old time southern senators who talk about interposition than like somebody who cares about broadly about the country. he's talking about basically saying that donald trump should not substantial doubt down. and should fight all the way to the end. run for reelection. he sound like thurman than somebody able to work with. mcconnell did the same act. none of the people sound like they have interest in doing anything other than accumulate more power. to be honest. i don't think anyone believes these people will put the country first. biden planning executive orders. back on the paris climate accord. reverse the withdrawal from the world health organization. repeal the ban on travel from muslim countries. reinstate dreamers program. he has to do a lot by executive order. >> absolutely. and i want him to. the fact of the matter is extend the olive branch. let them know what the programs are. ask to join. if they don't, let's go with the executive order. i sthad to president obama all the time. i'm saying that here. remember joy, the emancipation proclamation that was an executive order. this country never passed legislation to out law slavery. we got the 13th amendment. adopted. 1868. from 1863 down to 1869 it was the emancipation proclamation. the armed services integrated by trueman that was an executive order. they can do a lot of things. if it can free a whole people from slavery. it can do great things today. >> we had president-elect biden say to african-americans you have had my back and i will have yours. one of the people he was talking to was you. congressman clyburn, thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. >> joining me now former deputy national security for president obama. ben, sitting on my desk here are a couple of thick things we have seen happen. william barr already going on and saying he'll authorize the department of justice to probe substantial allegations of voefting irregularity. despite no evidence of that. he can't reverse a 20,000 margin with a silly invest. he's playing games. personnel director of the white house saying anyone looking for a job. they admit reality and the trump administration will end should be fired. this is not setting up to be a good and decent end. am i wrong about that? >> no. i don't think any of us should be surprised. if i'm joe biden i do what he's doing. he's getting ready to be president of the united states. he rolled out a highly capable team of people to deal with covid. and roll out cabinet appointees. he has team in place. they want to get into agencies and figure out what's goipg on. and other decisions. drafting executive orders for day one. the question is how much will joe biden be hindered from hitting the ground running on january 20. because of what trump is doing. the reality is on january 20, donald trump is gone. all the people who work for him are gone. the u.s. government has to get on with it. the machinery will take over and prepare for transition. and this is just side show from trump. this is entirely designed to make him somehow feel better about fact he lost. reality is he did lose. everybody knows it. you have people around him who are playing to his need to have something to cling to. the danger is they're communicating to supporters joe biden is an illegitimate president. that's the danger. the lasting stain they'll try to leave on the election this totally without merit. it's not going to stop the wheels of time and government. >> they can't stop that. the general service administration playing games and doesn't stop anything. you're right the challenge then is if covid is job one, and president biden comes in and you have a substantial share of the trump base that says he's illegitimate. there's no way for him to communicate a message of we have to get together and work on this virus. what they're doing and what fox news and others are doing there's a real danger that could make it harder for us to get out of the pandemic. >> there's a short term danger and long term. i was on the transition in 2008. worked in the building. what would normally happen is the agency of the u.s. government would be instructed by gsa to work with the team. in 2008 it was a financial crisis. our team was able to get into the treasury department and sit down and look at the books and the depth of the problem. and obama said had never realized quite what the depth of the crisises was. until he got the briefings. that enabled him to put together a stimulus package. passed as he was becoming president. he was able to hit the ground in stride. to deal with the financial crisis. because we had the cooperation of the bush administration. and setting up the idea biden is ill lel jit matt. mcconnell never acted like president was legitimate. even though he won twice. it's a dangerous dynamic. joe biden a will the of what he'll call for on covid-19 requires action by citizens and state and low cat governments controlled by republicans. from federal experts. they are making it difficult for joe biden to hit the ground running on january 20. and opposition to his presidency that could endure well into it. >> you have a trump lawyer saying the election is happening. it isn't. last question. the absence of a secretary of defense that feels like it places the united states in danger in the sense that the whole world knows we are absent this very senior official. are you concerned about donald trump having fired him? >> yeah. i'm concerned about it. i'm concerned first of all there could be crisis. we never know what might happen in the world in a few months. after president obama was elected and before he was inaugurated we had a war. we had ha mass terrorist attack. the u.s. government had to respond. this chaos and turn over leaves us less prepared to deal with crisis that may emerge in the window. transitions adversaries sometimes test the united states. they maybe hallowing out agencies. there have been purges in the intelligence community against the deep state the career civil service people. they may do more to break the agent sis on the way out. over 73 days. that's a worrying thing. it's a trump consistently put personal interest over the interest of the united states even our national security. frankly the shame is on the republican elected officials who are going along with it. it's time to stand up and recognize reality. instead of the reality show. >> it doesn't seem like they'll do much of that. up next. the trump presidency is ending as everyone knew it would. no smooth transition. no calls for unity. just chaos. what began in the halls of troump came to laughable end outside four seasons total landscaping. we're about to enter covid hell. biden is working on the problem. more than you can say for trump. vice president-elect kamala harris makes history and the fight ahead. >> while i maybe the first woman in this office, i will not be the last. because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities. ♪ oh, oh, oh, ozempic®! ♪ (announcer) once-weekly ozempic® is helping many people with type 2 diabetes like emily lower their blood sugar. a majority of adults who took ozempic® reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. here's your a1c. oh! my a1c is under 7!

i thought we were friends. if fox news is moving off the trump train and local officials are moving off the train, people are realizing trumpism doesn't work anymore. eventually trump will realize this. american people said you don't have to go home you can't stay here. he has to leave the white house. it will take a couple weeks to sink in. these folks don't have as many friends as they thought they did. >> trumpism does work. in the sense people have a distaste for him personally. they still want his policies. we saw in all of the elections you played in the elections the lincoln project. there was we'll keep susan collins. we don't like trump. let me play lindsey graham. i have said it before. he's auditions for the role of in a movie. here he is today. and mcconnell. >> president trump is 100% within his rights to look into allegations of irregularity. and weigh legal options. >> i'm going to tell mitch mcconnell today if we keep the senate. we need to do a joint committee in the senate. to analyze mail in balloting. and how it worked in 2020. >> how far are we from a 24 day filibuster of the john lewis voting rights act? this is where a lot of the senators have fallen. trumpism works for them. >> it doesn't scale all the time. it did end up when gardener and mcsally this year. we're waiting on the count in alaska. it is going to be something that in georgia i think will be a big story. these people are all trying to pretend the reality of the election doesn't exist. they want to retro actively undo it. they want to pretend there's nothing there. it's absurd. and the diminishing returns of supporting trump will become apparent in the coming days and weeks. and you'll see more of the guys creep into the tall grass. >> you know georgia better than most. what are we looking at going forward? the argument will be made by lindsey graham and people like mitch mcconnell. you have to let us keep the senate. otherwise aoc will take over and she's not in the senate. that's what they're going to do. >> fortunately south carolina is a different than georgia. the people decided they want to reelect senator game of thrones. but i think georgia is different. the idea of getting into the circular firing squad and attack the secretary of state and brian kemp. you hear people talk about dems in disarray. this is the gop. they are shooting at each other and arguing. you'll have war knock and os off and organizations on the ground. stacey abrams getting it together. the more time they fight each other the more time democrats can get people registered and prepared. with the entire country focussed on georgia, for the next 60 days it will be more difficult to pull off the kind of voter suppression in the past and acting like a trump supporter in this will make it worse. >> give me your treheory of the case from the republican side advising democrats in georgia right now. it seems like the argument should be if you don't give us the senate, you'll lose your healthcare. you won't be able to get a check for relief. mcconnell ain't going to do it. that's the obvious play. what do you think the argument ought to be in ferm terms of getting senators? >> the argument is this. you can make a choice between giving mcconnell two more years of trumpism. and the mishandling of covid-19. he'll train wreck joe biden for the first two. possibly four. he will stop aid to families that have been struck hard by covid and struck hard now by the second wave. he will block the appointment of people who would be running administrative divisions of the government. of cabinet seats. we may not get somebody at cdc or hhs. or treasury. because mcconnell will stop them. the republicans have already suddenly rediscovered their love of fiscal discipline after spending like drunking socialist sailors with trump. we can't do anymore relief. my goodness. the red ink is rising. it's all an act. it's all a con. the question for georgia voters is simple. do you want four more years at the minimum of donald trump being the hand maiden of trump mcconnell carrying out trump agenda and policy. and blocking everyone joe biden will try to do to over come covid and restore the economy. or do you want to give joe biden and vice president harris their shot. i think there's a great chance in georgia for both of the seats. >> are these two seats winnable? >> both of the seats -- stacey abrams. i would never bet against her. >> amen. >> both of the seats are winnable. and i think it's going to be a pair. both democrats or republicans. it's not a split ticket. >> i agree. love having you on. still ahead. encouraging news on a covid vaccine. clearly not in time to combat the ongoing surge in many states. president-elect biden is working on the crisis. with this seal, this restaurant is committing to higher levels of cleanliness. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ the expertise that helps keep hospitals clean, is helping keep businesses clean too. look for the ecolab science certified seal. to give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you don't.

>> absolutely. we're already seeing ripples of that. not only he publicly fired secretaries. but he's already been making motions behind the scenes to put blame on this kind of coronavirus news about the vaccine and etc. anywhere he can he's continuing to do all the destructive behaviors and spreading misinformation. and perhaps the most obvious thing is he's ignoring the fact the numbers 240,000 deaths and counting. calling it a hell we're going into. and many experts warn we will see another 150,000 deaths by end of the year. >> my cousin sent out a tweet the text today about thanksgiving is virtual this year. i don't know how many people will do that. i worry people will drift into church and thanksgiving and it will be awful. let's talk about the vaccine. this is the thing that makes me nervous. you have this vaccine. they had a lot of misinformation and trying to take credit and the trump kids. and saying it was a plot to have it come out after the election. what are your thoughts about this vaccine and whether or not you feel as hopeful as dr. fauci does about it? and also how long might it take if it is good, how long might it take to get it out? >> i woke up today hopeful for so many reasons. one of which is not necessarily we're all get a pfizer vaccine in our arm any time soon. we have to look for the success and the fact that this is never been done before. i'm talking this kind of vaccine for this type of virus has never been done before. we lat least have the first signs of proof. we're so far from shouting victory from the tree top. i'll take a light at the end of the tunnel. and all we know that it has in the patients that have received the vaccine not the placebo. it's 90% effective in not allowing you to have the symptoms or disease of covid-19. i will take that for a top line. i will tell you we're a long way -- i have been asked several times when will americans see a vaccine. i'm hopeful we can see something in the summer of 2021. or later. that's a long way away. if you take the months that means we could see still millions more people with covid-19 and hundreds of thousands more death. we have to focus on looking at the rest of the year. mitigation. doing what we have been talking about. we have to think about 2021 a vaccine not going to erase the virus. it's going to do what the flu shot does. decreasing the cases and it doesn't necessarily get rid of it. i really hope that this administration the incoming focuses on the communities abandoned. and i'm worried a vaccine just like coronavirus testing could be left out of black and persons of color would receive this vaccine unless we address head on the distrust that has been created by the current administration. >> i think that's true. play for you what joe biden said about that very thing. >> we're going to address the health and economic disparity that mean the virus is hitting the black, latino and asian american and native american communities harder than white. focus on the communities is one of the priorities. not an after thought. the bottom line, i will spare no effort to turn this pandemic around. once we're sworn in january 20. >> i assume that these communities will have more trust in biden than trump. i'm worried about trump's people. they won't want to take the vaccine and continue to infect other people because they refuse to believe covid is real. >> you have all the data to support your police chief belie. people don't believe it's a real virus. you are absolutely right. we have been talking about for months let science lead. let the health professionals lead. what i'll add is that is true. we have to understand how to really just deal with people at a human level and understand their behavior and understand their attitude. and not dismiss it. when i have a patient who says i don't believe in this because president trump says it's not real. i can't dismiss that. we have to do that one on one. and people like yourself being a clear voice. thank goodness we'll finally have now instead of you talking about this alone. we'll have a national strategy hopefully in the next year. to support all that. >> we have to make it through 72 days. thank you. appreciate you. up next the rapturous celebrations. don't lose sight of how close we came to losing democracy. i'm susan and i'm 52 and i live in san francisco, california. i have been a sales and sales management professional my whole career. typical day during a work week is i'm working but first always going for a run or going to the gym. i love reading. i love cooking healthy. it's super important to me. i was noticing that i was just having some memory loss. it was really bothering me. so i tried prevagen and it started to work for me. i wish i had taken prevagen five or ten years ago. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. ♪ ♪ since pioneering the suv in 1935, the chevy suburban has carried many things. nothing more important than family. introducing the most versatile and advanced chevy suburban and tahoe ever. it's still warm. ♪ thanks, alice says hi. for some of us, our daily journey is a short one. save 50% when you pay per mile with allstate. pay less, when you drive less. you've never been in better hands. allstate. click or call for a quote today. one ups the cleaning power of liquid. allstate. can it one up spaghetti night?
