Attempts to over turn the election results. Over night, president elect biden expanding his victory in wisconsin. Biden adding 132 votes to his total bringing his margin of victory to more than 183,000 votes. New reaction from Vice President elect Kamala Harris to reports that President Trump is mulling another run in 2024. Take a listen. President trump has been making motions he will run again in 2024. Do where you feel like you and president elect biden would be ready to face face him again. Please. Theres that. And then this. The number of coronavirus cases nationwide surpassing 13 million. The u. S. Adding one million new cases in each of the last two weeks. Helping us to expand is a trio of correspondents. Were going to begin with aly vitali. Theres another split screen weekend. The president who spent time at his golf club while Vice President elect spent time with Small Business owners. Reporter another split screen weekend. Another juxtaposition of how the administration is spending their weekend and the Incoming Administration is spending their weekend. It was a mix of politics as well as pe krusing what the shops ha to offer. She did make a few purchases. Her husband did purchase a madame Vice President tshirt. She looks at that and posed. He purchased that for her afterwards. The politics showed through as they were shopping. When she was asked about the state of the transition, we know that on an agency level the Transition Team has been connecting with people who are government. At the highest levels of this government between the sitting Vice President and the sitting president as well as their counter parts on the Incoming Administration, we know they have not had contact. Kamala harris has not talked to mike pence and donald trump has not talked to joe biden. I asked the Transition Team the other day if they thought they needed to have that kind of contact in order to make this transition as efficient as possible. They told me then they didnt view it as mission critical. Kamala harris was asked a similar question today. Here is how she put it. We are clear about the job that we have in front of us and the American People deserve that the Incoming Administration focuses on whats important and what is important is getting a handle on this virus, opening back up our Small Businesses and focusing on the experts in all areas. We have been meeting with every one from labor leaders to heads of fortunate 500 companies. We are meeting with mayors, governors, bipartisan. Thats what were going to continue to do which is focus on the issues that the American People deserve their leaders are paying attention to. Reporter a few things that stuck out to me there as we heard Kamala Harris talking about the importance of combatting the virus. This has been the top priority of this Transition Team. It was the center piece of their electoral pitch during the general election. It makes sense then that she would pivot back to talk about the virus. Note how she talked about bipartisan outreach this team has had. They have done calls with mayors, governors over the last few weeks all trying to highlight they want to be talking to people in the localities. Assuring they have partner in the federal government but telling them they will have a seat at the table as this Incoming Administration trying to figure out what it has to do to get this coronavirus under control. Thats ban key piece of this transition so far. She also touched on Something Else that as we get into a week where we know this transition will be putting out slate of nick picks, she touched on the role of Small Businesses on this Small Business saturday and its a Small Business saturday unlike any other because of the pandemic. She highlighted one statistic that struck me. One in four businesses are in the process of being close to permanent closure bp that tracks to another research out there. The economy and the pandemic are really linked. Alex. 100 . Youre absolutely right. Thank you so much. Lets go to carol lee who is standing by for us in washington. Carol, welcome to you. Now that we have trumps appeal being struck down in pennsylvania, how does his Campaign Plan to move forward in. Reporter they are saying they are headed to the Supreme Court. Thats what their response was yesterday. They said this was something that, in their view, was part of the judiciary machinery. Thats a quote. In terms of something that is bias against the president. They will continue to fight this onto the Supreme Court. Its not clear the Supreme Court would take this case and they are alleging the judge in this case, this three panel judge and the judge who wrote the opinion who is a trump appointee are just not looking at the facts. They are saying they are not listening to these widespread allegations of widespread fraud. Ill read you a small portion of what the judge wrote. Charges of unfairness or serious but calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here. Pretty squacathing response fro the judge. You heard the White House Press secretary saying perhaps the judge was not fully understanding the argument they were making. Take a listen. I think this Third Circuit judge misunderstood the argument because its an equal protection argument. The one we have been making in court. We have presented affidavits. There are declarations made as well. There is evidence there. Its important for the Supreme Court to take a look at this. Reporter now, they are vowing to fight this to the Supreme Court its not clear they will get their wish on that. Meanwhile, you have the president who is continuing to push these allegations of fraud on his twitter feed. He spoke to reporters for the first time in 23 days this week where he made these allegations of fraud. He is thanking state legislatures. They havent given up on this idea they could try to arm twist some state lawmakers to try to achieve the president s goal. He said its to overturn the results of the election through the legal system or through the political system. Its all remarkable coming from you there. Thank you so much. Outrage protesters in tehran at this hour after the assassination of irans Top Nuclear Scientists. Fingers are being pointed at israel and the United States by the protesters. Israel and the white house not commenting on the news. Reporter iran and officials military figures ordinary people are up in arms over the what they call an extrajudicial killing of a Top Nuclear Scientist on home soil. Theres been protests all afternoon and early into this evening by member who is are Para Military organization under the umbrella of the irgc. They have been calling for revenge against israel, against the United States. They say no u. S. Assets in this region should remain safe for the next 40 days. A reference to the time that is left in office for President Trump. Irans Supreme Leader also made a very fiery statement today. Saying that iran is looking for vengean vengeance. He said its first order of business for the country to get vengeance for their master mind nuclear scientists. A sentiment that was echoed who said that iran wants vengeance but interestingly, he said vengeance has to come at the right time. I think iran is now making calculations as the Playing Field has changed, as theres going be a new president in white house. Nay may not want to upset the apple cart too much and close the window to breathing new life into the nuclear deal which is what the iranians desperately want. An adviser said they are trying to get this into a conflict and were not going to take the bait. Where where im standing, i think the iranians are going to bite the bullet for the next month and a half or so till the 20th of january and see if they can come to some sort of an agreement with joe biden. Its not going be easy but thats their only option right now for removing sanctions which is really, really hurting the country. As you know, relations between tehran and washington are predictably unpredictable and the smallest miscalculation can change everything. All right. Thank you so much. Joining me now, congressman adam smith. Congressman, welcome to you, sir. Hope you had a good holiday. Lets get right into this. The u. S. And israel, neither commenting on the killing of this scientist. What is your reaction . I think this is huge problem. I dont know who did it. I dont believe the u. S. Was involved. I think its logical to assume that israel was but we dont know. I do think we should understand its very Serious Business to go assassinating somebody in another country. I dont think this is the path towards a peaceful outcome. I think the path was the nuclear deal that we had with iran. I think people lose track of fact that trumps decision to pull out of that pact hasnt helped us. Iran is much further along in Building Nuclear weapon when we pulled out of that. The stated reason for pulling out of it was we wanted to put maximum pressure on iran to stop all the other bad things they were doing. Theyre still doing. Theyre still in iraq, yemen, lebanon. To your point that you dont think iran was involved in all, but if israel was responsible, is there a chance that the United States was not told in advance of their intentions . Absolutely theres chance. Its plausible deniably deniability. We will be briefed on that. We should not reveal it publicly. In terms of what u. S. Policy would be, we have to understand our involvement with the rest of the world, were trying to stop iran from developing a fluke here weapon. Were trying to stop transnational terrorist groups but the actions we take trying to stop that, when violent acts are committed by us or people think by us whether youre talking about drone attacks in somalia, afghanistan or elsewhere, that employees back on us. Countries do not like the u. S. Taking violent action in their countries. We need to come up with a better Foreign Policy or well have an escalating well have escalating conflict that doesnt ultimately serve our interest. What do you think bidens first order of business should be in terms of Foreign Policy . We recall in 2016 president obama told president elect trump that his top Foreign Policy party should be north korea. Has that changed . Sgr reestablish the u. S. As a player in the world. Not just a selfinterested actor. A country committed to International Organizations and working cooperatively with allies and reaching out to adversaries in trying to find out how to Work Together to solve problem. Trump message of america is in it for itself, period, and the wap we have bullied allies. The way hes spoken positively about dictators has really confused the plemessage as to w the u. S. Is trying to do in the world. Getting our diplomatic core out there, to appoint ambassadors and to reengage in the world in a positive way is the number one thing to do. Other than that, its a whole bun ch of challenges. Its russia, transnational terrorist groups. I dont think you can pick one at this point. Im looking at an article. There are four authors of it. One of them is former defense secretary jim mattis who cowork this oped saying in january when President Joe Biden and his National Security team begin to e reality Foreign Policy we hope they will quickly revise the National Security strategy to eliminate America First from its content, restoring cooperative opportunity. You clearly agree on that but how best does he go about doing it . I guess the question has to be asked how much has the Trump Administration undone the good will that previously other countries had towards the United States . They have done a will the of damage to it. The best way i summarize is i traveled around the world before covid. Many of our foreign partners really felt like they couldnt deal with the u. S. Honestly. If they had an ambassador in their country, maybe working with him, they get an agreement. The next day the president tweets something that totally undoes that agreement. Reestablishing our credibility and connecting with people and letting people know we want to work with them and we are going to have a coherent Foreign Policy. Also its important let me ask you. I hate to interrupt. You describe something we have lived with as well. Where be president put something out one day and in matter of hours or next day he completes something opposite and blows up what he said before. Do you sense there was a point during this administration that foreign dignitaries, foreign leaders stopped paying attention to donald trump and his twitter rants . Yes. Worse than that. They stopped paying attention to trump and his twitter rants but to some extent they stopped Pay Attention to u. S. Diplomats because they didnt know what our policy was. The greatest example was the decision to pull out of syria. It came in a tweet. Undermined a whole lot of discussions that were ongoing at the time. I want to make quick point on the National Security strategy. That is an actual document. Step one would be to redo that document. The sta s to state what our National Security strategy should be. I think jim mattis nailed in. Biden should redo that document and his National Security team, that should be job one. Let me ask you what nbc news is reporting which is that some exintelligence officials are saying when President Trump leaves office, he should not receive access to classified information about the countrys National Security secrets. Do you agree . Absolutely. I think the president has made it clear that its all about him. That was obvious from the day he took office, to me. Now as you look at him just totally trashing our democracy, just because he doesnt want to lose. He lost. He wish he didnt. He is making it up. Theres no credible allegations of any fraud. He is tearing down our entire democracy and our constitution or hes trying to merely because of his own selfinterest. Theres no way on earth i want someone who is that selfinterested to have access to that information. Hes not going to think about whats best for america. He will only think about one thing. Whats best for him. Yes, i think we should be very careful about giving him any more power once he leaves office than we absolutely have to. I really appreciate the Straight Talk conversation from you. Democrat from washington. Thank you so much. Thanks.
