13-year-olds, i look forward to it. thanks so much for being with us. >> thanks for having me, john. tune in to powerful new season of "this is life with lisa ling," back-to-back episodes this sunday on cnn. "full circle," digital news show, 6:00 p.m. eastern on cnn, any cnn app on demand. now it's "cuomo prime time." welcome to "prime time." president-elect joe biden. he has a difficult job ahead but mandate. more than 6 million more people came out for trump in a strong rejection of trump's notion of what a president is. biden, we see with just limited

access to what he needs to get a feel for, already off to a better start than we saw four years ago. instead of picking misfits and players with more problems than experience, biden has key nominees and appointees who will be firsts for good reasons, policy that puts our best first, not our worst. >> it's a team that reflects the fact that america is back, ready to lead the world, not retreat from it. once again sit at the head of the table. ready to confront our adversaries and not reject our allies. >> it would seem just as important as what biden is for, quick reminder of what a historic number of you said you are against. >> keep america great and as i say, america first. shouldn't go away from that. america first. >> remember translated into

america being among the worst handling the pandemic and economy that trump can only celebrate because there are food lines snaking across this country. today was the worst single day for deaths in america from covid, did you know that? since may. more than 2,000, gone. so already biden is different, he sees the need, speaks to what is wrong. instead of trouncing trump for ignoring a health crisis and sabotaging his transition, which he certainly could, his focus seems to be not on his political position but on our position and improving it asap. >> we're already working out and meeting with the covid team in the white house, how to not only distribute but get from a vaccine being distributed to person able to get vaccinated. so i think we're going to not be

so far behind the curve as we thought we might be in the past. and there's a lot of immediate discussion and i must say, the outreach has been sincere. it's not been begrudging so far. and i don't expect it to be. so yes, it's already begun. >> it's weird for us to not have an interview where we have to explain why a president was vindictive, fact check everything he said or figure out why president of the united states is deciding to act like a puts. new models say covid cases will double by the time mr. biden is inaugurated, could reach a staggering 20 million cases and again more people died today than we've seen since may. the task force, on the good side, is finally free to admit the truth, speak truth and not

worry about political reprisal. and they said today we have to radically change behavior. but biden has to tell you where that is true and what can be done about it. and he needs republicans to do it with him. let's focus on the last part. it's going to be hard. why? trumpers are coming forward to attack. but now the game has changed. you must remember what these new students of virtue and the common man, what they stood by and empowered. exhibit "a," senator rubio, who now has a problem with good resumes. look at his tweet. why, they went to ivy league schools and having strong resumes, he argues biden's team will be polite and orderly caretakers of america's decline. i support greatness.

enabling trump's sabotage of the election. didn't go against it, never knew or offered any basis for the frivolous litigation. in four years rubio quoted the bible a lot but sure not inspired to speak truth to power when it came to this president. you want to criticize biden's choices, fine, you can do it. but good schools? secretary pompeo, harvard law. secreta secretary mnuchin, yale. dartmouth and yale, chow, harvard. where was the common man touch, play to the highway polly instead of the hoity-toity. now rubio tries to step out of the shadow, shine the light of truth. where was he on trump's choices

in the administration, not where they went to school but chased out or bailed out, steve bannon, where was he. don't believe the concern now when rubio sat by and showed you who they were for years. that's the reality. remember. and think about this. you want to start criticizing things, talking about what matters. don't worry where people went to school. focus not on pedigree but poverty. speak to the long lines of trumpers, people you swore to help to make it great again, all that other bs, miles long the lines from texas to new jersey and too many places in between. focus on what matters, like the fact you've done nothing about it in this congress. question is will biden be able to get republicans to take on the pandemic they allowed to fester? our next president wants to replace division with determination. >> i hope as president, and many

of the republican governors and mayors felt the same way, i hope that we're going to be able to have a united voice on the need to mask, socially distance, testing and tracing. they're critical pieces to dealing with bringing down this virus in a more manageable place. >> he's already talking about things we haven't heard, doing more. but where and how, we'll have to see. in that interview he took a step that trump would never even consider, an important one. would biden include someone in his administration or more from the other party? >> yes, and we still have a lot more appointments to make. i want this country to be united. the purpose of our administration is once again reuniting. we can't keep this virulent political dialogue going, it has to end.

>> an ambition going to ring true with a lot of hearts in this country but can he do it? can he change the political disposition or get savaged by trumpery or opposition? van jones and charlie dent. good to see you, thankful for you helping my audience, being in my life. van jones, biden's approach, putting republican on there, reaching across to do things better way. is that being president or setting himself up for yet another bad precedent? >> look, i think it's good. listen, he's trying to pull together a broken, fragmented country. he's got to make sure that the progressives get something. so far the progressives are patient with his appointments. right now a lot of oatmeal, boring folks who can pull the house together. got to do something to help the progressives but also should do

something to help the republican. it's not the republican party itself but the party twisted by trump. if there's a pathway back to redemption and bipartisanship on his terms, he should take it. >> follow-up, want to see bernie, yang? who? >> andrew yang would be an amazing choice. he's innovative -- listen, he's a positive populist. he's not mad at billionaires or immigrants but fact our wages have flatlined and has great ideas. would be a great signal i think to the country that next generation is being welcomed. >> charlie, what do you take from what we heard from senator rubio today, coming after the administration choices on basis of pedigree. had a lot of pedigreed people, also bums but lot of pedigreed

people in trump administration. rubio said nothing. but signal of opposition. is that the way your party is headed? >> i think you have to consider that marco rubio is considered to be a likely candidate for president in a few years and probably trying to draw a contrast between himself and his view of national security and foreign policy with the biden team. i would hope that senator rubio and republicans in the senate would endorse and confirm the folks nominated so far, it's solid, good group of people and will bring back to the national security space something desperately needed after america first, america alone. >> i hear from you, but he's not talking policy but people and division, pedigree, us and them, a page out of trump's book. can he or cruz any of these guys

think that trump's base will take to them the way they took to him? >> no, i believe if anybody is going to run for president in a few years, better develop their own position or policy. that's going to be the policy or platform of the party. they need to stop looking backwards and start looking forward. trump was just rejected. i would argue so was left wing of the democratic party in recent election. now it's time for the republican party to revisit what it stands for rather than endorsing what trump believed in. there was no platform in the 2020 election for the gop. they have to develop a real policy and platform on national security and other issues because trump by that time should be a figure of the past. he'll make a lot of noise though between now and then. >> van, many democrats may like this but one of the criticisms i think rubio was trying to get to in ham-fisted way,s this obama

2.0, a third obama term. what do you make of that suggestion? >> hallelujah. obama got us out of the great recession, saved the auto industry, got health care to millions of people and handed trump an economy moving in great direction. trump was able to hold on a little bit but then crashed it mishandling the covid crisis. i think the american people just spoke, literally elected obama's vice president. i don't think america is mad at obama. i think america wants what obama represented but now with bigger challenges. i also think you've got a real opportunity here on the world stage, i mean what you're seeing now is people around the world, big sigh of relief around the world that america might be back. america first, two good words, everybody wants their team to be first, not last. but those terms got polluted and

twisted into america by itself with no friends, hanging out with dictators and going the wrong way. there's a chance for america to really come back, not just locally, healing here, but around the world. that's the excitement. nobody's mad at obama right now, people are still mad at trump. >> people thought it was cynical when we talked about where america first came from in our history decades ago, what it meant then and started to get scarily similar to that. why talking about the left? biden has savagery from his own. progressive wing is going to check him almost as quickly as the republicans will as trump starts to fade a little bit. what he had to say about bernie and elizabeth warren in terms of his team. >> what about former rivals from your own party?

bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, have you talked to them about cabinet positions? >> i've talked -- as i said, already have significant representation of progressives in the administration but nothing is off the table. one thing is critical, taking someone out of the senate or house, particularly a person of consequence, is really difficult decision to have to be made. i have a very ambitious and progressive agenda. it's going to take really strong leaders in the house and senate to get it done. >> now, i got to tell you, charlie, talk the mechanics of politics for a second. i understand that criticism -- not criticism, but concern. i don't want to lose a senate seat when democrats may lose the senate in special elections. but bernie sanders said on this show, when i said you don't want to lose your seat right? he had answer ready like that,

charlie, said the dporgovernor he would put another person in the seat to caucus with the democrats. he wants a position. if you're advising biden, do you put bernie in place? >> no, i do not. simply because the senate democrats don't have any kind of a cushion. they need every seat. we don't know how the georgia runoff is going to go, but best case for democrats is 50/50, pluck one out, 50/49, could affect things. joe biden is smart to find more centrist nominees, one easier to confirm and two, be able to blame the republicans for it because many are not going to support far left characters or potential people into the cabinet. i think biden so far is playing it smart. would be very much averse about plucking somebody from the senate right now. even the house with four or

five-vote cushion there. >> biden needs friends right now to change the messaging, van. big thing, couple of things he could do, i have one of his transition team members from the task force covid side next segment. but you need to change messaging, republicans next to biden saying wear the mask, socially distancing is not weakness but strength. do you think he can get that? >> i think he can get it from business leaders, some celebrities who may have appeal on the right, country music stars and nascar people. politicians right now have been a profile in cowardice in the republican party on this issue too often so far. but i don't think honestly -- you've got a lot of influencers who would love to be able to go back to a white house, on the left and right, without having the challenges that being

associated with the trump administration brought to a lot of influencers, for good or for bad. i think biden can set a big enough table and be inviting enough convener that a lot of people can come around and help with the message. i don't think it comes down to conservative politicians who weren't even willing to stand up for-american democracy past few weeks. they won't do it. others will. >> paul ryan had a shot to be generational figure, not left or right but reasonable, and he went in the bag for trump. swallowing the tax cut and getting beat up as speaker. he had provocative thought, unless it's ham-fisted partisanship. he said in joe biden's best interest for republicans to win in georgia and retain control of the senate, really has to work with both sides of the aisle.

is that a smart play? both takes starting with charlie. >> actually i do agree with paul ryan this will force -- having a divided government with biden as president and gop senate, that will force people to the center, empower joe mansion and susan collins and members of the -- >> didn't with obama. mcconnell said i'm going to do nothing and stop everything and he did. >> well -- >> i agree. >> i do believe that both. i believe that both -- i believe that both biden and mcconnell are incrementalists, they're pragmatic, will reach agreements. and i think they have that kind of relationship. is there going to be partisanship? of course there will be, but i think they have the ability to get things done on

infrastructure, broadbrand, even china, covid. issues to agree. and republican-controlled senate is a foil for the left flank at him for not pushing hard enough. >> am i still too wounded by hearing mcconnell say this three-week sabotage is how it always goes that transition to believe he would be ever incremental in moving to the other side? what's your take? >> i think the democrats need the ability to govern, that means they need the senate. there's this theory out there from people who suddenly love the democratic party and love joe biden and want him to do well, giving him great advice to let most obstructionist majority leader in american history keep his gavel, somehow to make better presidency. that's complete crap. mcconnell is very, very focused

on maintaining power, blocking democrats, packing courts. he's not going to change. has he done some things? not a lot when it comes to democrats. i think that biden himself is moderate enough. he doesn't need to be able to point to somebody else and say i would give you all the left-wing ideas but republicans won't let me do it. he can speak for himself what he's for and not. he did it through whole primary. whole line of reasoning is ill-considered. he needs whole power of the government to undo the damage of trump. >> thank you both. best to your families. enjoy thanksgiving. >> happy thanksgiving. >> thank you. >> easy to say, hard to do this year. thanksgiving is going to be tough. pandemic is really just sucking

the thanks out of us. on one hand if it's missed you, had people make through it, you should be thankful. but it's going to be hard. what to we know? president-elect is saying that the transition is not going to be held up the way he feared. good. what does this look like in terms of how things could change and soon? we have a member of biden's new covid task force here. what kinds of things are they planning to ramp up access to testing and what does this doctor see as way forward in the near future? next.

getting worse than ever. 15th day straight set new hospitalization records. more than 88,000 covid patients are being treated right now, highest since the pandemic began. the highest since the pandemic began. just because you're tired of hearing it, i'm tired of having to tell it to you, fatigue doesn't equal progress. it doesn't go away because we're sick of it. it's getting worse. good news is biden administration won't hide from the realities. that doesn't mean it's going to be easy to turn it around, especially in a country where doing the right thing has been bastardized into the wrong thing for political points. okay? now, the transition is happening. let's bring in dr. celine gounder, a member of the advisory board, infectious disease expert, nyu and

bellevue, i should hit you up on live television. i want to get us into the long haul nyu study center to give them publicity for what they're trying to do and show people how even a mild case can leave you in place you don't want to be. but put it out there publicly, talk to you about it privately, we're working on it already. i think it would be helpful for people. now, the transition. on the way out, they're saying according to admiral brett ger rar, they're looking at shorter quarantine complemented by test may be enough to slow the spread. your take on doing this on the way out. >> the timing is a little bit strange, but i will say there does seem to be science to

perhaps back this up. on the phone with scientist at yale looking at this exact question, studying could you have shorter quarantines, around eight days with test at exit. at end of quarantine. he's done some studies with oil rigs, workers on oil rigs for a company based down in australia. there is preliminary data this may be one way to make the idea of quarantine less burdensome to people. >> so it's thanksgiving, right? we've been working on testing months and months. i'm sure you're hearing, ten times as much as i do, people calling and saying celine if they know you, doctor if they don't, i can't get a test. you say you can get the rapid test, i can't get it. got the machine, $50 but can't get -- access is still totally wacky, even now.

what will change that? >> i've been getting text messages all week, photos from people standing in line at city md and other testing centers waiting for a test. i think one of the first things you're going to be seeing is president-elect will be invoking the defense production act with respect to personal protective equipment and also possibly with respect to tests. so we really do want to see a big ramping up of test capacity. and not just about tests but also some of the other supplies. we've heard about swabs and all of that since the beginning of the pandemic. also very much about staffing. people who can collect the test, send them off, process them in the lab, lot needs to be scaled up in coming months. >> let me put up something you're going to have to deal with, from congressman crenshaw, decorated veteran, served his country, on the cutting edge of

the young republicans in congress, they're doing frontal attack on restrictions, okay, this is wrong. businesses should not comply with unreasonable infringements from government. now that is a tricky play for him because if something is a law and you're telling people not to obey the law, you've got a problem. but what he's hoping is, dealing with government guidance, that's why he's being that bold. but idea that businesses, americans told how to limit people in their homes, they should not comply and resist and fight back, what do you make of that messaging? >> i think people resist these kinds of restrictions, public health measures, when their most immediate economic and social needs are not being met. especially when the pandemic might seem abstract, until of course it's not. this is precisely we have a stimulus, that's been sitting before congress for some time now, senator mcconnell yet to

take up the package. prior stimulus support is running out and people really will have a tough several weeks ahead before january 20th if somebody doesn't do something about the stimulus. people need help to make rent and put food on the table now. >> touchstone for families is schools. let's listen to the president-elect on that. >> got schools closed right now in places where restaurants are open. are our priorities correct? >> i think we should be able to do both but look, i'm very concerned about the schools, and for example i was on call yesterday, mayor de blasio, largest school district in the country. in a position where it costs tens of millions of dollars to safely open a school. single best expenditure of dollars to engage is now is provide for the protection,

protective gear and ppe, meaning ability to allow businesses and other operations to be able to open and have the wherewithal and financial aid to open safely. >> now, to be fair, we're not going to dump a problem months old on the president-elect and say fix everything right now. not fair. not fair when you overloaded testing to restaurants and bars and didn't do planning for schools for months so you don't have what you need. that said, the schools i think is going to be a big problem for you guys. because you have parents like me who hate they're closed, and seems to speak to bad management. you can't find a better way to deal with schools then there's a single case in class run out like there's a mass shooter in there? yet i had expert on last night said cuomo you're a fool. numbers are worse in schools than you know, and schools have

to be closed. new york city is doing right thing and if you don't control the caseload there, has not exponential but magnified significance on communities. explain that to me. why is it more dangerous to have cases in schools when we keep getting told kids don't get as sick. >> i'm not sure i would agree with that statement. we know the prevalence of the coronavirus cases in schools, including new york city is lower in schools than the community, and we need to try to keep schools open as much as possible as long as there's not widespread community transmission. >> help me understand that. in community with some cases but in schools not as bad as the community, why do we snap to closing the schools? >> well, think unfortunately this has not been something that we fully understood. didn't fully understand the risks in schools, the difference between the prevalence in the community and in the schools.

so we will need to shift guidelines to adapt to new knowledge with respect to schools or other things in the future. >> you think that's going to be priority, figuring out who is doing things best in different parts of the country and making it universal playing field so people can be schooled on how to keep schools open? >> i think absolutely. and while new york did close its schools recently, it was actually a tremendoussuccess we were able to open schools and keep them open as long as we did. unlike any other school district of its size across the country. >> i know. it's just hard, people don't want to go back. if they come back home, screws up everybody economically and got to hear from crenshaw and those guys, if they make it political to resist is strength, got a problem on your hands. thanks for joining us, have a if thanksgiving with your family. >> thank you.

you too. outgoing president slipped in a couple of pardons before he leaves. no, just talking about turkeys. but let's talk turkey. pardons are going to be an issue with this president. who might he pardon? should you care? and then the one really provocative one that i'm not even sure is possible but i have better mind to answer this question, could trump protect/pardon himself? we bring in the man, former white house ethics czar, norm eisen, what's the answer? next. in a whole new way. now roomba vacuums exactly where you need it, and offers personalized cleaning suggestions for a clean unique to you and your home. roomba and the irobot home app. only from irobot. att plan roomba and the irobot home app. for each family member with the features they want, like hbo max. what was that? happens every time i say hbo max.

the president's pardon of the turkeys, i understand -- never understood what this was

about. funny it's one of the traditions that trump decided to expect. those birds, i don't know they're in as much jeopardy as guys handing out ceremonial pardons. nothing ceremonial on the things waiting for donald trump. he's more than once claimed the absolute right to pardon himself. what we know absolutely, he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about when it comes to law or fact. but he does have big-time pardon powers, what does that mean for the cast of criminally charged characters around him who have been around ever step of his political life? ambassador, best to you and your family. welcome back. >> thanks, chris, great to be with you. >> first his pardons he could give to others, is it pretty much whatever he wants? >> well, there are some limits,

chris. the constitution gives the president very broad pardon powers. but as you can appreciate, if he took a bribe to issue a pardon, he could be criminally prosecuted. if the pardon was issued, and this is where we have concerns about president trump, as part of a conspiracy, if the reason paul manafort has been silent for all these years of the trump presidency is because of a pardon angle, that would expose the president to criminal exposure. those kinds of limitations do come in, but the pardon power is very broad. >> does michael flynn figure into that analysis? >> he does. flynn has cultivated the favor of the president, the president has talked about his case, engaged in very dubious,

terrible conduct in attacking the judge, attacking the jurors in that case. there is a wrinkle in the flynn story, chris, which is that the president has just broken, very publicly, with flynn's lawyer, sidney powell. but i don't think that will affect the ultimate calculus, flynn is at top of the list after the thanksgiving turkeys. >> now, the big question, the meg ill la, can a president self-pardon. it's not discussed in the constitution. what is the best reckoning? we have no precedent. >> the most fundamental rule of anglo-american jurisprudence going back centuries is can't be

the arbiter of your own case. part of the reason is framers of the constitution never imagined they would have to say about that a president but of course donald trump has brought about a lot of unimaginable scenarios in his tenure as president. >> he says i pardon myself, now what? >> it would play out following way. he would pardon himself on the way out. if there were for example a federal prosecution, that pardon would then be at issue if there were an attempt to prosecute the president. but chris, as you pointed out, there's a very important exception to this. pardons do not apply to state law offenses. and the gravest danger that the president faces, we node cy vance is actively investigating him. if i were the president, single

largest concern would be a state law prosecution, his self-pardon if he tries one can't touch that. so there is a high expectation that the president is going to face serious state criminal jeopardy at some point in 2021. >> he's raising a slush fund for himself with his save america thing. sounds like it's about the election but when you read the emails i get ad nauseam, can use the money for whatever he wants pretty much. biden said he doesn't think trump should be investigated. on an ethical level, is it a better play for biden to say, no, just get rid of this guy, longer he's in the light, longer he's a negative influence, just leave him alone, let him go? ethically? >> no. the president-elect has indicated that these kinds of questions will be left, as they

always have been in american history, chris, to the professional prosecutors, justice department and attorney general. that's the rule of law. frankly from an ethical perspective, the president should not do that. that raises this issue we've seen in the issue of trump of the oval office criminalizing political opponents. let the pros do it and even better, the state, state of new york is looking at it. that's miles away from the oval office. no allegation of politicizing the criminal process. let the rule of law work. >> i'm happy you spoke about the issue of why trump may do certain pardons because cnn can now report new information, there are discussions ongoing in the white house about president trump pardoning michael flynn. can he do it? yes, what will be the issue? was michael flynn quiet about anything that could have been damaging to the president

waiting for a pardon? easy to say and argue and exam, but tough to prove. >> it is not easy to prove. we're very fortunate that we have one of the great jurists in america, judge emmet sullivan, who is scrutinizing the oj's handling of the michael flynn case. he's fought for his right to do that. truth has a way of coming out. if there is some kind of a dirty deal with michael flynn, that is going to come out and could well expose president trump to federal or state prosecution. if there are state prosecutors who have jurisdiction over that. so the saga will continue. president-elect biden is wise not to get in the middle of it. let the federal and state pros sort this out. that is the rule of law in

america, chris. >> right. and while i want to leave the style and culture behind, the precedent of being fair must always be present. i don't know that michael flynn did anything wrong, made any deal with trump, never seen proof of that. just saying that will be looked at. norm eisen, thanks for laying out the law and contingencies. best for thanksgiving for you and your family. >> and to you and yours. >> thank you. we have to get on the same page. dow crossing 30,000 first time. great. why? i don't know, trump takes credit for it. maybe the biden transition. who cares? millions of americans are hungry. food anxiety, pc nonsense. hungry or afraid of going hungry sometime in the future. very few of you own stock. that's not the metric for your safety and your family.

50 million americans are facing hunger this year. forcing a lot of people to reckon with a new reality, lining up for a food bank, asking for help. that's why i want to bring in steven, he's a resident of orange, california. he's living a new reality. he had a job, times got tough about a year ago. and he's been having to find ways to help his family. steven, i only have a little bit of time. i just want to hear from you. i don't need to interview you. tell people what you learned from your experience, why they may well see a lot of themselves in you, and what people should know about how to get help. all you. go ahead. >> the ultimate reality, if you're in a situation similar to me, then there are food banks, and there are sources out there, there are so many things i didn't know were available. and the food bank of orange

county has helped me, and i know there's something like that in your county, your state, all across the country, where people want to help. i also volunteered for them, as a way of giving back, they were giving us food. my family, food. so i thought, hey, might as well volunteer. that was a drive-through pop-up, but that ended a few months ago because of covid restrictions. >> but if people say they're ashamed. i'm not one of these people, that's just for the homeless. >> don't be. reach your hand out, and you will be provided. they will provide the food that you need to get you a week's meals. the produce, pasta, sauces, protein. you will get there. i don't have any shame anymore, because i couldn't. the pride has been put on a shelf. but i'm actually even more prideful now because of the help that i'm giving back with them.

and supporting the group. >> explain that. what did you learn about your situation, how did you go from why me to help them? >> i was out there, i saw an ad for food, and i don't know. initially, i thought, is there a way i can volunteer to make me feel better about receiving the food? which may have been my pride there. i reached out, volunteered right away, and i started talking to the people that run the company, the ceo, the other people that are out taking pictures and running the volunteer crews, and they were amazing. and the things they said about the people that were receiving the food really resonated, the people that put a sign up in a car door that says thank you on it, because they had a mask on and couldn't roll their window down. that was amazing.

>> there are a lot of families like yours around the country. six-figure job, gone. wife working, gone. two kids, mortgage, car payment. i know you're worried. i know times are tough. i'm glad there are places for you to get help. and i'm glad you're still fighting for your own future, and i hope things get better soon. you're a great lesson that everybody has something to be thankful for, even when times are hard. i wish you and the family the best. >> thank you, chris. happy thanksgiving. >> to you as well. i'm going to tweet out information about how you can help. we'll be right back. you're strong. you power through chronic migraine - 15 or more headache days a month, ...each lasting 4 hours or more. botox® prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine. so, if you haven't tried botox® for your chronic migraine, ...check with your doctor
