because it suggests they may take bold action that will make certain situations worse or more complicated without consulting with the incoming administration. we need a smooth handoff. to be clear on a previous point you made, dana, vice president elect harris is not getting the presidential daily brief, she's only getting what senators get. >> that's what i meant. thank you so much. we are way out of time. thank you for joining me. thank you for watching. brianna keilar picks up coverage right now. hello, i am brianna keilar. i want to welcome viewers here in the united states and around the world. president trump is trying to overturn the election that he lost to joe biden by 74 electoral votes and almost 6 million popular votes. ess he is attempting to stop certification of votes in states biden beat him like michigan. trump invited state lawmakers to the white house, expected to meet with him in three hours.

this extraordinary, alarming meeting happening before the lawmakers are involved in the process to certify the vote of the state where joe biden won by 154,000 votes. trump is trying to overthrow the usually perfunctory process, lobbying lawmakers to ignore the will of the majority of voters. trump's guests, michigan senate majority leader mike sherky and lee chatfield. protesters making clear what they thought as sherky arrived at reagan national airport outside washington, d.c. >> shame on you, shame on you, shame on you, shame on you. shame on you. >> you heard protesters there yelling shame on you at sherky. trump's goal here is to stop michigan from certifying its results, and enlist republican state officials to overturn biden's win by ceding electors.

sherky and chatfield both said they'll honor biden's win, that's before the pressure campaign from trump. this white house visit follows trump's similar persuasion efforts earlier this week to sway republican officials at the county level in michigan. tuesday, wayne county canvassing board members dropped the attempt to stop certification of the vote in the detroit area which delivered michigan for joe biden. we now know trump called them up personally in the middle of this process. this kind of stuff doesn't happen in america or didn't before trump. a few republicans are starting to find some courage to speak up, but mostly they're voices we are used to hearing call out trump's anti-american actions. is it enough? two sources tell cnn there are discussions under way with the president about inviting republican state legislators from pennsylvania as well to the white house. this as the president's battle in the courts is going nowhere fast and he is running out of

options. thursday trump and his allies lost cases in arizona, pennsylvania, and georgia, and right now he and his allies are 2 for 31 in the courts. for context, one of the two victories in pennsylvania was that observers can stand six feet instead of ten feet away from bipartisan election officials counting ballots. so who within the president's party is speaking up. let's talk about that. senator mitt romney, blasting the president's meeting today. he says trump is trying to subvert the will of the american people. and nebraska's ben sasse, reminding the president that the united states is a nation of laws and not tweets. senator joni ernst saying on fox radio to insinuate candidates paid to throw off the election i think is absolutely outrageous, and i do take offense to that. you know i have fought for my country. i have worn our nation's uniform to protect the values and freedoms our nation espouses.

to have that accusation offhandedly thrown out to confuse voters across the united states, i think that is absolutely wrong. i want to go to boris sanchez, our white house correspondent, who is covering this. the white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany, boris, called this meeting with michigan lawmakers an advocacy meeting which is just not believable. the timing is what makes it clear what this meeting us. tell us what you're hearing? >> reporter: this is an incredibly poor attempt to gas light the american people. kayleigh mcenany from the press briefing room essentially saying the president routinely meets with lawmakers from around the country. what a coincidence then that the president is meeting with top republicans from michigan, a state in which he is trying to delay certification of votes showing that joe biden won the election there. the president clearly desperate at this point, and she's backing

him up. she made the case no one from the campaign would be in the room. we should flag, rudy giuliani told a new york local tv station he would be there for the meeting to try to answer any questions that lawmakers might have. it is truly a desperate move by the president, to call it unprecedented, brianna, is an understatement. >> that's also dubious. rudy giuliani made it clear in court he is quite bad answering questions. a judge asked him simple ones and he couldn't. boris sanchez, thank you so much live from the white house. there's a slow drip of republicans pushing back against president trump's flailing attempts to cling to power. late night statement from senator mitt romney, and this morning, strong words from former senator bob corker who said that republicans must call out trump's demagoguery.

manu raju, we are hearing familiar things from trump, there's not a flood of republicans speaking out. might there be in coming days? >> reporter: we'll see. a lot of republicans have been saying we're going to give the president some time to make his case. they did not necessarily think he was going to try to pressure state lawmakers to overturn the will of voters in the states, as that effort grows, we'll see if republican concern does grow. i am hearing from some people who typically don't criticize the president, questioning his strategy, questioning his moves and raising concerns. one senior house republican member, kate grainger of texas, sits on the house appropriations committee, she told me she has great concerns about what the president is doing. i asked if it is time for the president to concede. she said it is time for the president to realize what's happening. other republicans like fred upton told me the president should concede and he also said

it has not been voter fraud in michigan the president has been alleging, certainly not in detroit. lamar alexander who is retiring, chairs a key committee with influence in the senate, says at least the transition process should begin so as not to disrupt key things such as vaccine distribution in coming biden administration. you said it. there's a slow drip of members coming out. vast majority of members, including republican leadership is still backing the president's strategy. we'll see if more division surfaced in the coming days, if the president decides not to listen to results, continues to push states to delay certifying results showing joe biden is the clear victor here, brianna. >> manu raju, thank you so much. time for perspective on this. joined by sophia nelson, former investigative council for house

republicans. what's your take, first what we are seeing from republicans in congress. while it's not surprising what we're seeing from president trump, it is incredibly alarming. we saw senator romney pushing back. it has been 17 days since the election though. >> a couple of things. no one should be surprised that congressional republicans, particularly the senate, are not speaking out the way we all believe they should, we all believe we watched these people in public life a long time, have seen them speak up about a lot less angrily if you will, none of them are doing that now. you go back to impeachment in january, tells you all you need to know. i am not surprised at all they're not speaking up, with respect to what the president is doing, however, not only is it unconstitutional, article one designates states to have the power of the election. so that it is closest to the people. the executive which is an

article 2 power is who the president is, he embodies the executive. the executive has no business interfering in a state process, trying to flip electors, trying to coerce. i have been studying 18 usc 29 in the law and federal codes and trying to parse that out. i believe a case could be made against this president that he is violating the law. what he is doing is not only unconstitutional, it is illegal. >> so he didn't have luck with the wayne county canvas board members. they tried, the republicans he had gotten in touch with. in the end, they faced immense pressure and buckled. now you have these republican state lawmakers who will be involved in the process of certifying the vote at the state level here in coming days. how do you think they're going to respond now being called to the white house? >> well, brianna, first of all, they have no business at the white house for all the reasons i just broke down.

this is a soft coup. america needs to understand, this is a soft coup. i don't know how soft it is, he is doing it in broad daylight. the president can't go to the legislature, electors, try to get them to flip because he doesn't like election results. as you said at the outset, that's not what we do in america. republicans better start speaking up now and better figure out how they're going to walk down there and tell them to knock it off. >> should state lawmakers should have said no, we're not coming? >> absolutely they should have said no. they should have said, mr. president, there's a process here. we are beholden to the states we represent, the will of the people cannot be overturned, sir, because you don't like it. and at the most base level, brianna, would you go to a meeting someone called you to when you were in the process of certifying election results where they clearly didn't win and they clearly want you to flip to their side? for your own self preservation, people, knock it off. you have grandchildren, you have children, you have people that are going to look at you 50 years from now and ask you what

was going on with you that you didn't stand up for your country over your party. that's where i come down on this. >> so you have the white house press secretary calling this, i mean, laughable if it wasn't so serious, an advocacy meeting which is just, i mean, not believable. and we are reporting that there's talks about, the president is considering doing the same thing with pennsylvania state lawmakers in addition to michigan. >> uh-huh. i mean, brianna, the same announcements i gave you holds. i believe federal law is very clear. the executive has no business coercing, engaging in, trying to turn or flip or demean or threaten state officials about an election. that's illegal. you cannot do it. so the fact he is doing it in broad daylight as an advocacy meeting, is he a lobbyist now? that's not lawful.

the reality is that kayleigh mcenany and the whole lot of them have lost it. that press conference yesterday with rudy giuliani was an embarrassment to our country and i think this is very serious, brianna. and i don't think he is going to stop because i'm on tv talking about it or you are, but i think the republicans better get serious real quick about getting him under control. he needs to concede. >> even mick mulvaney, the president's former chief of staff, acting chief of staff, took issue with rudy giuliani. i mean. >> surreal. >> you watch it, yeah, it is surreal. you can't even believe it is happening. part of that is if you read what's going on in court, he can't answer basic questions about -- we're talking the level of scrutiny that even someone who's a layperson could do three minutes of work and figure out how to answer one of these questions that rudy giuliani was asked in court and he can't do it. >> brianna, i think the most important thing, i'm proud to

hear joni found her voice and stood up, i know her, i like her. i have been disappointed about her and haven't been quiet about that, but this goes to the foundation of who we are. you can't just throw stuff out because you feel like saying it, which is what trump has been doing four years. guiliani's press conference with sidney and the other person, they should lose bar licenses. i am an attorney, sworn into the bar of the united states supreme court. i take this seriously. you can't say things that are untrue in a tribunal or in public when you're duly sworn in officer of the court. you can't do it. this has to be stopped and has to be stopped immediately. >> yeah. you were referring to jenna ellis who previously was quite the critic of president trump as we discussed. sophia, thank you so much. great to talk to you. >> thanks for having me. we are following breaking news now. georgia just certified joe

biden's victory one day after finishing its election audit. that recount by hand. this certification is what we expected, but also a major blow to president trump's hopes of overturning the outcome of the election. biden beat trump more than 12,000 votes in georgia. georgia's republican governor, brian kemp, now has until 5:00 p.m. tomorrow to sign the paperwork that officially grants georgia's 16 electors to biden. president-elect joe biden's top cabinet picks are starting to come into focus. we are learning he could announce some choices soon. and the u.s. on the brink of defeating the pandemic with vaccine progress. but that is months off. and at the same time, we are seeing all time records for cases. plus a grim new model prediction of nearly 300,000 deaths by christmas. when i started cobra kai, the lack of control over my business made me a little intense. but now quickbooks helps me get paid, manage cash flow, and run payroll. and now i'm back on top... with koala kai.

the united states hit the highest single day case count yet of the pandemic. more than 187,000 new infections reported thursday. among the new infected, andrew guiliani, son of rudy giuliani, the president's attorney. he tweeted he tested positive and is in isolation. he has been seen often not wearing a mask at the white house as he is seen here, he is in a picture with his dad at the white house. the country is averaging more than 165,000 new cases every 24 hours. for the fourth straight day, hospitalizations are at an all-time high with just over 80,000 people in the hospital battling covid, and more than 2,000 americans died yesterday, largest daily death toll reported since may.

just released modeling from a source often used by the white house projects there will be 471,000 deaths by march 1st. institute for health metrics and evaluation is upping the prediction because, quote, the pace of increase is faster than we expected. keep in mind, this is with 40 states reimposing social distancing mandates. if nothing were to be done, no restrictions, the death toll would rise to 658,000. ihme says that if 95% of people wore masks every time they left their house, 65,000 lives could be spared. they find mask use at 68% nationwide. white house coronavirus response coordinator dr. deborah birx says this surge is different from other surges. >> when you look at what's happening now, the rate of rise is dramatically different and the number of states and the

number of counties in the united states that have what we consider a red zone because of their characteristics is now well over half the country. this is faster, it is broader, and what worries me, it could be longer. >> with me now, dr. peter hotez from baylor college of medicine. thanks again for being with us. we're seeing these troubling models, 471,000 dead from covid by march 1st, so we're talking about a half million americans in the course of a year. we should note this model, ihme model has generally been conservative, it tends to underestimate the number of deaths. so what do you want people to know now at this critical time? >> well, you know, what i want people to know, brianna, is that nobody has to die. we are looking now at 150,000

americans who will lose their lives between now and roughly a week or so after the inauguration. none of those individuals have to lose their lives. this is all preventable through aggressive social distancing and wearing face masks. the thing that's most troubling to me is that where it is hyper accelerating in the northern part of the midwest, dakotas, north dakota, south dakota, wyoming, idaho, and west texas, we are seeing surges on intensive care units. then the mortality of the death rate goes vertical. nurses and other staff and doctors get overwhelmed, it is not just a matter of beds, it is having trained staff to take care of them. remember, it is exhausting, we can't handle the surge. that's the reason for the

aggressive social distancing. i'm so troubled. we'll reach 400,000 americans that will lose their lives a week or so after the inauguration. most of them in the heartland, middle part of the country, and in texas. i have to say more than not, they're mostly red states. i am trying to reach out to every group i can, especially conservative news outlets to see what we can do to save lives, get them to ignore the previous disinformation campaign that's come out of the white house because the tragedy is look, if we can just get all these individuals to the other side and get them vaccinated, they'll live a normal life span. it is just a matter of hanging on for three months or so. it is not in perpetuity. we just have to get them over that small hump now, keep them alive, keep your mother, father, brother, sister alive. get them vaccinated in a normal life. about as simple a message as you can get. it is troubling we are having a hard time doing this and it is

falling through cracks because we don't have leadership coming out of the white house and we don't have the new team coming in, so who's going to fill that gap. we need republican leaders to help with this and i'm trying to do what i can. >> so right now pfizer and biotech say they're submitting for emergency use authorization from the fda. but i want you to be clear with us about these are tremendous strides being made on the vaccine front but this could also give people a sense of oh, a vaccine is right around the corner. but you mentioned it, there's three months between us and that, even just for some of the most high risk folks and we have to get to that point. we have to wade through what will be the worst time of the pandemic. so when you are talking to people about how they need to think about this moment we're in, how the vaccine relates to it, what do you say? >> i say again, it is not forever. good vaccines are coming,

extraordinarily effective vaccines. targeting the spike protein can result in 90, 95% protective immunity. our vaccine works on this principle and others are coming, not only the pfizer vaccine, moderna, two add no virus vaccines, we will have a fleet of vaccines coming to vaccinate the american people, so we're going to have a much better place by definitely by this time next year, even earlier, spring or summer. therefore it is your obligation to keep yourself and your family alive, keep your father, mother, brother, sister alive. stop the nonsense of saying covid-19 is a hoax or stop the nonsense of what you're hearing from people like scott atlas and the coronavirus task force trying to attribute covid deaths to other causes, it is not true. stop the nonsense about herd immunity or stop nonsense about discrediting face masks.

it is all hands on deck and saving lives. this is just being pragmatic, saving the lives of your loved ones. >> peter, thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you. the white house just cut off federal emergency funds that were set up to help small businesses. why the treasury is asking for some $455 billion to be returned. plus, a family of five all test positive for the virus in new mexico, including their 12-year-old who became the youngest in the state to die. i am going to talk to his sister. if you're on medicare, remember, the annual enrollment period is here. the time to choose your coverage... begins october 15th and ends december 7th.

now to what some are calling a troubling move by the trump administration as countless american businesses struggle to make ends meet during the pandemic. steve mnuchin decided to cut off federal reserve money aimed at helping small business to survive as coronavirus continues to ravage the economy. the move is being met by a rare rebuke by central bank which typically steers clear of sensitive political issues. in a statement, federal reserve

says it would prefer that the full suite of emergency facilities established during the coronavirus pandemic continue to serve their important role as a back stop for a still strained and vulnerable economy. secretary mnuchin wants central bank to return $455 billion in unused funding for programs set to expire december 31st. the money was set aside in march as part of the cares act, $2 trillion stimulus package, meant to prop up the ailing economy by providing financial assistance and loans for companies. the move puts the trump administration at odds with corporate america. really all of it. the u.s. chamber of commerce blasting the decision as one that closes the door on important liquidity options for businesses at a time they need most, adding it unnecessarily ties hands of the incoming administration. now, sources close to president-elect joe biden say he is close to reaching a decision on a number of key cabinet positions with possible

announcement within the next week. today, biden set to meet with house speaker nancy pelosi and senate minority leader chuck schumer. biden believed to be fast tracking cabinet selections in an effort to move ahead with transition, despite president trump's attempts to contest the election. let's go to jessica dean in delaware. she's following the biden transition team. do we know which positions are close to being announced, jessica? >> reporter: what we know is at a press conference yesterday, president-elect joe biden said they had come to a decision on who they want to nominate to be treasury secretary, that a decision has been made on that. we're told he may be close to making a decision on secretary of state. now, the time line as you mentioned, looking like next week, early next week could hear beginning announcements for cabinet secretary nominations. again, an effort by biden and his transition team to make sure they're moving ahead, despite

any of president trump's actions or inactions in terms of conceding the race and allowing the transition to move forward. biden talked a little about this yesterday. he was asked what the american people should think and make of all of the actions by president trump. here's what he had to say. >> i think they're witnessing incredible irresponsibility, incredibly damaging messages being sent to the rest of the world about how democracy functions, and i think it is, well, i don't know his motive. i think it is totally irresponsible. >> reporter: again, we are expecting to hear some key cabinet positions and sometime next week, brianna, all of this concerted effort to remind the american people, republicans and president trump, that this transition is moving forward whether or not president trump accepts it or not.

>> and you know, listening to the president-elect, you kind of, it seemed he tried not to weigh in in a way that sometimes irritates the situation, but it seemed clear by his demeanor even as he says it is irresponsible that look, we look at what's going on with the decision by treasury, it seems cruel and seems to be dropping a mess in the lap of joe biden, but very much at the expense of americans, which it seemed like the president-elect was kind of surprised that the administration would do. >> reporter: yeah, it was interesting. i was in the room yesterday for the press conference. you definitely saw a shift in demeanor when he started talking about that, you saw how carefully he chose his words, how he paused to think about it. the biden transition and president-elect biden for sure really want to get to work. they know what lies ahead for them, it is a giant challenge everywhere they look from coronavirus to the economy, across the board. they know a lot of americans are hurting now, they want to get in

and do what they think can help. unfortunately they're being hampered from even planning for that, brianna, which we should remind everyone is what is typically happening at this point in the transition process. >> yeah. jessica, thank you so much for that report from wilmington. we appreciate it. ahead, activists are railing against one of joe biden's picks, to serve on the epa transition team. erin brockovich joins me with her reaction. winter is coming for restaurants forced to adhere to new covid restrictions. one owner warns months to come could be a bloodbath for restaurants. advanced non-small cell lung cancer can take away so much. but today there's a combination of two immunotherapies you can take first. one that could mean... a chance to live longer. opdivo plus yervoy is for adults newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread and that tests positive for pd-l1 and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. it's the first and only approved chemo-free combination of two immunotherapies
