some of the legal challenges that are continuing in several states to the election by the trump campaign. we will tell you more about those as we look for your calls and comments momentarily. here is the reporting on the incoming biden administration. the headline "biden plans to move fast on the pandemic and the economy. president-elect joe biden and his advisers planned this week to demonstrate a far more assertive strategy against the coronavirus then president trump. biden may take a more proactive role in the coming weeks and congressional negotiations over an economic stimulus package. biden's proposal, some of which were posted on his new transition website, include aiming to secure funds for ramping up coronavirus testing, requiring additional protective equipment such as masks and gowns, and investing $25 billion in vaccine and manufacturing and distribution. his aides say they recognize the united states has one president

at a time, nonetheless, hope to seize on the momentum from his victory to signal decisive action on the major crises involving the nation. that could be complicated by trump's refusal to concede in arefact that some states still fluctuating there recounts." joe biden's coronavirus task --ce to meet as trump they write that joe biden will convene a task force today to confront one of the biggest problems vexing the u.s. as president-elect and his running mate move ahead with their transition process. on sunday night, biden and harris released their first public schedule as president-elect and vice president-elect. he is due to meet with a 12 member advisory board led by the and theurgeon general former food and drug administration commissioner to determine how best to detain a

pandemic that has killed more than 237,000 americans. also news this morning on the vaccine. this is a tweet out from stat.com about the testing and vaccines. "a bright, glimmering light at the end of the pandemic tunnel. the pfizer vaccine had a 90% efficacy in its first look at a large trial." viewers onts from our question this morning, your top priorities for the biden administration. one says, i want both parties to work together for the best interest of the american people. i'm sick of all of them getting paid when all they do is fight. right now, they do just what is best for their own parties. the president cannot do his job without the right help. another says, immediately put up a plan to reunite the kids separated from their parents. to your calls, momentarily.

first, some comments from the speaker of the house and her views on the lame-duck session in the democratic agenda ahead. these comments come friday before the president-elect was announced and the winner named on saturday. [video clip] speaker, the previous four presidents entered their first year with their party fully in control of congress, the house in the senate. how much do you have to trim that,he ambition knowing at best, it is a 50-50 senate and some think the republicans are favored in georgia, and you still have majority leader mcconnell? >> how many times have you heard me quote lincoln? public sentiment is everything. with it, you can accomplish almost anything. without it, practically nothing. that is what i think is going to save the day. the public once the virus to be crushed, they want the economy to reopen and children to go to school safely.

are in sane if you francisco, michigan, alabama, wherever it is, people want jobs. they want jobs. when we talk about the health and well-being of the american people, job security is an important factor of health for those people. once we go forward with an infrastructure bill, that is usually not partisan. it isn't partisan. we are going to blanket the country with a build back better, as joe biden calls it, we called it moving america forward. we have a great deal in common between those two agendas. host: speaker pelosi from friday. our monday morning question for you, your top priority for the biden administration? line for democrats, one for republicans and all others. let's go to aurora, colorado.

this is edna, democrats line. edna, you are on the air. go ahead. ok. we will hear from connecticut. cindy? are you there? caller: hi. good morning. my top priority for the biden administration would be the pandemic, and also, making sure is the way ittem has been, voting in person. the elections cannot be a week or month before the election and two weeks after. that would be one thing, but the pandemic is really the top priority for a lot of people. i just hope you all will give some credit to the other side.

we do have a vaccine at the ready and i hope that if you get it, you think president trump for it. host: new york, democrats line. caller: first of all, the penalty for electing donald trump in the first place is the loss of perhaps anywhere between 50000 and 100 thousand lives that were unnecessarily taken because of this covid-19 problem we have. forop priority, of course, president-elect is to develop a comprehensive, coordinated plan all thek covid-19 using science and technology that we and the organization that to a politician of his caliber. host: do you think a national mask mandate or something like that, or at least a stronger

suggestion from the federal government, from the president, is part of what the biden administration, the incoming administration may be considering? caller: one of my biggest objections to donald trump was the fact that he couldn't wear a mask. i don't think that was too much to ask of a president. he were to set the standards by wearing that mask, and to whatever extent, i can't quantify it, but if the president wears a mask, he sends a signal. if he doesn't wear a mask, he sends another. that is why i say that he caused a lot of lives. that is the price we paid for electing someone who was not a and i can understand electing a businessman, but elect gaetz or welsh of general electric. not someone who has no experience in the real world.

thank you. host: this is bill in florida, republican line. caller: good morning. i would think climate change would be up there as as we speak, the indian river is creeping up on highway one here in florida. thaturse, i would think the voting problems they have in georgia with of the senatorial races, would be explored. we know the voter purging has been going on for a long time and they haveia taken temp to court. that race is very important. host: florida was called fairly early for the president last tuesday night. maybe early into wednesday morning, are you surprised of that?

did the voting process, the vote count there go pretty smoothly? caller: i believe the voter purging has been going on here in florida for quite some time. years.been voting for 20 originally, i'm from staten island. the terribly upset with whole voting process down here in the hands of scott who was in trouble at one point for medicare fraud. what was theng, final resolution or has there been with -- the voters approved that amendment a couple of years ago to allow former convicted felons to vote. where did that stand? did some of them get to vote in the 2020 race or not? caller: i think they had to pay their fines in order to vote. that is one million votes. host: we will let you go and go to christopher in new jersey. caller: thanks for taking my call.

top priorities are indeed the covid-19 pandemic, and also, after the recovery of that with the things that president-elect biden is going to do, the recovery of jobs in the country, also, indeed, the rights of disabled people with special needs because they have been victims of brutality for so long, as well as the ending of systemic racism on all genders and nationalities and people with special needs. and finally, to increase the minimum wage sincerely to $15 to $25 per hour because we have seen a lot of people fighting for it and it is important that the people get back on their feet and be able to achieve the american dream for as long as i have been doing it. i've been fighting for so many people, and they have not had a voice. i think joe biden, today, made it clear that everyone deserved to have a voice in the selection . the vote by mail thing went

beautifully well, the early election thing went beautifully well, and i believe people should realize that joe biden has a clear mandate for america. and i do believe he will get the job done absolutely 100% right because if we work together and get it done correctly, both locally and nationally and get people with special needs also to be heard, we have a chance to make america a place where they can be welcomed by all and accessible. oft: philadelphia, the focus the trump campaign with special news conferences, including one over the weekend with rudy giuliani, who is leading the effort there. we go to philly next and hear from jaclyn on our republican line. caller: good morning. tellerswe are the truth who voted for trump. he wasn't perfect, but he told the truth and that is why i admired him so much.

i'm going to change the subject for a minute. this morning, i heard there might be a new coronavirus -- something to heal the coronavirus. i'm locking words. host: a vaccine. caller: who is going to take the credit for that? joe biden? not donald trump, though the work he did, he tried hard. i think joe biden is going to take the credit for that. one other thing i noticed, i'm my girlfriend and i went shopping and i see only millennials jumping around providing. no old people voting for him at all. i find that very interesting. host: jaclyn in philadelphia, pennsylvania, the focus over the weekend as the associated press and other news organizations called the state for joe biden. senator pat toomey of pennsylvania was asked about the

election in the vote count. "washington journal >> 70 million americans voted for donald trump. they, and the president deserve to have this process play out. i understand yesterday, the media projected how this is going to end. in the media projection is probably correct, but there is a reason we actually do the count. by the way, part of our process is to adjudicate disputes. it can include recounts. under pennsylvania law, there is an end -- automatic recount if the vote margin is .5%. at the moment, joe biden is leading by only .6%. let's let this come to its proper conclusion. in the process, maximize the number of people who have confidence it was done properly. >> jill biden is ahead by more than 30,000 votes. you understand that at a certain point, i recount just would not change the math. >> pennsylvania law has an

automatic recount. we should follow the law. if it comes to a lead that is outside of the automatic recount margin, then pennsylvania law gives the losing candidate the opportunity to petition for a recount. the loser has to pay for it. you are right that recounts very seldom change the outcomes. i understand that, but there's nothing wrong with following the process and the law. host: "the washington times" headline this morning "trump legal team to file suits. they are getting ready to unleash a number of lawsuits alleging voter fraud and irregularities. increase in litigation comes as mr. trump trails presumptive president-elect joseph biden and a handful of swing states by as mail-in ballots continue to be counted. since when does the lame stream

media called who our next president will be? we have all learned a lot in the net -- last two weeks, mr. trump tweeted on sunday. giuliani noted free of the broader legal issues they are raising. i think we have enough to change pennsylvania. it would be wrong for mr. trump to concede. he plans to file more lawsuits today saying they could target between four and 10 different states." comments on our opening question. says, throughe the lawsuits to show everyone there was truly no fraud. get votes certified. the president-elect has nothing has no power to accomplish anything in the however, hearty,

could begin to minimize or eliminate the influence of the radical left inside the party. this one says, our new president has a full plate and a lot to address. as a physician, financially secure, my biggest concern is police violence. let's go to our independent line and hear from gilbert in birmingham, alabama. caller: good morning and thanks to c-span. my main issue with the incoming president, is the issue of canada. -- china. with one of i asked my friends with the fact that world war iii is already over. it seems as if no one is taking notice to the fact that other

than this article, over in china, the pandemic seems to have succeeded. nothing is happening over there. all of the businesses over there. everybody making mega profits. and who lost? the american public. i'm very concerned about the way thisiden deals with economic trade thing with china because if the american economy collapsed, it would be all over for the world. host: were you satisfied with the trump administration and how they dealt with china on trade and other issues? caller: exactly. now, we have nobody to protect us from china. let me say this. i am a man of 70 years old and when i went to school, they taught us civics and communism. china is a communist country.

and for people in congress to allow the american businessman to have free will with a communist country, where are we going to be in the next four or five years? communism? host: next, democrat collar. -- caller. caller: i think one of our parties should be tackling affordable housing. we have to come together as americans. i think that is one way we can unite the country. tackling focused on our infrastructure. plays a relationship with one another. i think if we can tackle that, we could maybe i'll get along. let's try doing that. illinois, we hear from larry on our republican line. caller: good morning. i would like to know how biden is going to unite the country

when, for the last four years, republicans have voted for trump have been called ignorant, stupid, uneducated bible thumpers, gun carrying idiots, when the day of the inauguration, there were several democrats standing up yelling "impeach trump." i just don't see how it is going to happen. rightk mr. trump has the to question any of the elections . if it is legal, he should go ahead and do it. i don't believe biden is ever going to bring the country together. that thes, i hope neighborhoods that he built great big high-rises for public housing like i live in and we will see what their neighborhoods end up like and if they can sell their homes. thank you very much and have a wonderful day. joliet, illinois,

margaret on the independent line. caller: i'm looking at the fact that we could have been the ones that looked lost. democrats could have lost it. why not be decent to the republicans? all republicans are not stupid and silly just like all democrats are not. democratsof it is, remember how they felt when they lost. please respect the republicans. let's give them a hand up, not a handout. let's make it ok for them to feel the way they feel right now. we know how wee felt when we lost. don't just look at them and call them ignorant or stupid. for whatever reason they made this decision, it was their decision to make. who are we to say that they are wrong and we are right? we just believe the way we believe, but also, understand the way your neighbor feels. it is ok. all democrats are not perfect,

and all republicans are not perfect. host: margaret in illinois. the u.s. senate is expected to gavel back in. -- firsttion since the session since the election. we are likely to hear from majority leader mcconnell and minority leader chuck schumer. haveal republicans congratulated joe biden on the wind. one of those was from lisa murkowski. as palletsat "even are counted in alaska and legal challenges continue, former vice president joe biden is now the projected winner of this close on hard-fought presidential race. the night he declared victory in --s to be a president who and pledged to be a president who works with all americans. while we may not always agree, i will work with them to do what is right for alaska just as i will continue to emphasize

collaboration and bipartisanship with my colleagues in the narrowly divided senate." some of the statement released by lisa murkowski late saturday night. roy blunt of missouri was asked about the expected lawsuits the trump campaign is supposed to issue. [video clip] >> i spoke with secretary of that say they esteemed no widespread evidence of any kind of fraud at all. joe biden has won this election. why can't you acknowledge it? andhat i said on friday what chris christie said just a few minutes ago on this show is, it is time for the president's lawyers to present the facts, and then, it is time for those faxed to speak for themselves. it is going to be much easier to work toward that kind of transition we want, look at the inauguration, which i'm going to have the honor of chairing again, and bringing the country together, if everybody feels like we went through a process

and everybody was heard, every and weut was counted come to a conclusion. almost every state within seven to 10 days of the election goes through that entire canvas. there are always some changes. seems unlikely that any changes could be big enough to make a difference, but this is a close election and we need to acknowledge that. continue with your calls and comments. your top priority for the biden administration. checking social media. debbie says this, first, get pandemic under control. then, work on all the rest of his goals starting with addressing and doing something about systemic racism. julie says, medicare for all. sam in california, if i had a chance to lead by the know what i think is top priority, is restoring leadership in this country.

the country has been wandering around lost without any leadership, just having someone in the white house doesn't equal leadership. that is painfully obvious now. jan -- james, debt forgiveness and a public health option. one headline "pete buttigieg is near certainty for biden's cabinet saying biden officials have made it clear to party officials. the question surrounding him is not if but where he lands. democrats close to biden tell axios." we hear from michigan this morning on the independent line. caller: good morning. i would like to start out by saying i have never been affiliated with democrats or republican parties. i've been an independent my whole life. i've gone down through the process. i think the process is important and i would really like to know if the new administration coming in will seriously look at voter

fraud if there were ballots passed out that were not supposed to be. i want clarity. i want to be able to know, are they going to pack the supreme court? what are we looking at with our constitution? are we going to throw it all away or are we going to have and both ourat it democratic and republican leaders stop asking -- acting like schoolchildren fighting over the best playground equipment. let's get to work, agree on the things we can get done, the other things, we put on the table and then we work it out. this is nonsense. host: to hampton, georgia we go on under -- on our democrats line. caller: i was on mute. good morning. the first thing i would like for this administration to work on is the coronavirus. i want to go back to work safely.

i want safety for my 90-year-old parents, both of them still living. i want safety for my grandchildren. i have had cousins to pass from corona, childhood friends pass. had three coworkers pass from corona. several of my students have had corona and they say it is the worst thing you want to have. sonsughter's best friends have had corona. were at iowa playing football and were put on restrictions and they said you live one day and you die the next day. they survived it. that is what is important to me. stockmarkets don't matter when you are dead and sick. stock markets don't matter and we keep talking about the polls in the voting. right torican has the folks there and solicit who pass out ballots.

you keep talking about checking the polls, what did you do? did you just stay home? go make sure it is correct. host: let me ask you. are you ready to go out and vote races,or the two senate the runoff races happening january 5 in georgia? would you get rich off a disease that kills people? . don't support that have, they people we changed their stock market options. aboutand you are talking caller: yes. this is my thing. taxpayer.rgia if you are not, you need to send your money and keep your opinions to yourself. host: thanks for that.

two races we showed you. the one senate race, kelly loeffler to fill the remaining term of johnny isakson's and see. the other race is the incumbent senator david perdue, whose term has expired and is running for reelection. of those runoff races happening in georgia. i believe the date is january 5. the chum campaign yesterday made an announcement that doug collins who ran for senate down there, will lead the campaign recount team where a recount will begin as soon as the canvassing has concluded. the recount in the presidential race, i should point out. mitt romney, the utah republican, was asked about the georgia races yesterday on meet the press. [video clip] >> you feel good about the fact

that you feel like there is a majority in this country that wants conservative principles. your party took a beating in the suburbs. that is why it looks like you may not win georgia. if that is a pattern, you might not control the senate because of that. do you believe your party has a problem in the suburbs? sure hasty, i'm challenges as does the opposition party, i think i will let people like yourself made a call as to why people voted the way they did. if you look at the pickup republicans had in-state houses across the country and congress and in the senate so far versus our loss in the presidency, you could suggest the presidential race was more a rather -- matter of a referendum on a person. when it came to policy, we did pretty well. this would be a race primarily about policy. i don't think the american people want to sign up for the green new deal and medicare for all and so forth. i think we will do well, but i

think it is going to be a challenge. do we have challenges as a party? absolutely. do we need to do better with young people and minorities, absolutely? can we bring back suburban women into our party? absolutely. host: a headline here in the savanna news "georgia likely flipped blue, but it is not over." our question for you this morning, our top priority for the biden administration. democrats, one for republicans and one for independents and others. phil sends this text. he says, raise the minimum wage and make sure the supreme court reflects the views of most americans. housing andtter, infrastructure, state and local issues. it would help if we had leaders who knew and respected the relative or branches of government. this one says truly affordable

health care for all meaningful investment in our public education system. up next, we hear from brian on the republican line. caller: good morning. priority for the biden administration is to ensure he is a one time president. by voicingo do that my dissent whenever anything that he brings up is disagreeable. i don't feel like there is going to be too many things i'm not going to be yelling about after four years of being called a racist, being called stupid and other things, there is no way he is going to bring this country back together. like i said, my priority for the biden administration is just to ensure he is a one term president. in hyannis,k massachusetts, independent line. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call and thank you to all the host and everybody behind the scenes at

c-span for everything you guys have done for the past four years during these chaotic times. istop priority for biden getting this covid thing under control. second of all, it is infrastructure. i think trump, instead of all of his tax cuts and ballyhoo and lies, he should have done an infrastructure plan and then given out the tax cuts because the roads in america and everything is falling apart. work -- railways and everything else. i think every american that uses the roads and even sidewalks, can attest. public transportation. host: let's ask about infrastructure because it gets to be a running joke in washington, this thing called infrastructure week. the president did want to make some sort of infrastructure deal. where do you think the fault lies that congress wanted to get an infrastructure plan and the

president -- why couldn't it ever get done? tooer: because they were caught up with putting tariffs on china and creating mischief around the world. he is too busy creating drama internationally and domestically inciting nationalists and racists and everything. when it comes down to it, he really didn't do anything for the american people. when you go over a pothole with your car, everybody feels it. when your car breaks, you can't get to work and it is a trickle-down effect. people talk about trickle-down economics. host: but is that a federal responsibility or your state and local locality not fixing that pole -- pothole? how much of that is the responsibility? caller: it is a top-down issue. federally and then state and local. the federal government controls

the spending on the interstates. at the state spending is obviously the state roads. we all get federal funds, even at a local level. for trump to completely avoid -- he is trying to a polish obamacare and he is talking about he is going to keep it. what is going on here? host: mark in massachusetts, this is another area to focus on, education. this is a piece in the washington post with their headline "biden plans to reverse bot -- divorce -- betsy devos's plans." "president-elect is helping to pry them open with increased spending for coronavirus expenses and guidance on how in person schooling can resume. under trump, the education department has been led by secretary betsy devos, alienated

many by casting public schools as failures and promoting alternatives to them. through executive action and negotiations with congress, biden wants to bolster public schools. who will be the next secretary? secretary?" the educationt department is being led by the california state education department. linda darling-hammond is under consideration again. also our two teachers union leaders, randi weingarten and en garcia.s caller: good morning, america. my top issue for biden is covid-19.

with 230,000 people dead, i'm wondering how many of those or did not vote. that are so many issues frankly, i don't know where to start. start with the covid part where people are refusing to wear a mask. mask protects me, it protects you, it protects you from me and me from you. think to sayi can this to the c-span audience is the peopleine if that were mostly being affected were blind -- blonde, blue-eyed people. and there was 230,000 deaths.

expect black and town people to wear a mask better america? i think so. i don't understand why people don't want to wear a mask. host: to clint in orlando, florida. your top parity for the biden administration. caller: good morning. my top priority for the biden administration is going to be following through on his promise in his victory speech about uniting us as a country. i think joe biden has a very tall order to fill convincing both republicans and democrats that the other side is not the bogeyman, particularly if georgia can hang on and maintain control of the senate. if he is unable to unite us as a country, everything he wants today will be secondary and won't get accomplished.

he needs to bring us together and convinced both sides that the other one is not the bogeyman. host: thanks for that. ted on thefrom independent line. caller: hello. i think your topics here is not really over yet because they are going to be doing some counting. after watching what has been going on for the last few years, i kind of think you can't really trust some of the things the and iats have been doing kind of smell some rats. i kind of think this isn't over yet until the fat lady sings. florida. in we are from joseph on our democrats line. caller: good morning.

my top priority for president-elect biden would be to deal with the covid emergency here. i think it would be fair to say that if it were not for the covid pandemic, mr. trump probably would have been reelected. however, as a new yorker, if i can say directly, i think president trump, based upon what i heard from bob woodward's interviews with him, he knew the danger of the virus, but he route,o go a different rather than prevention. he chose to roll the dice and adjust to herd immunity, apparently, and it didn't work. mr. president,-year-old snake eyes, which means, you lose, which is unfortunate. york, don't gow away angry, just go away.

if i can make a quick comment also about health care in general, this is really my area of real concern for america and sadness. powers in world war ii. we didn't destroy them, we built them up integrated economies, and we also help them right -- rewrite their constitutions. in those constitutions, all of their citizens are guaranteed some kind of health care. we are the only western society that does not provide health care for all of our people. it is ironic because we have the greatest physicians, doctors and hospitals in the world. biden can sithat down with these leaders, get them in the room like he is famous for being able to do, get them to think and talk and come up with a solution like mayo , johns cleveland clinic

hopkins, all of these great places. they know the problem, let them sit down and come up with a solution for all americans. host: thank you for your call. a big supreme court case coming up tomorrow. on tuesday, the senate is back. the lame-duck session underway and hearings as well. be a director -- 11:00 eastern with joseph mccabe on c-span. at 10:00 a.m. eastern tuesday morning, we will bring you live audio coverage of the oral argument in california the texas, the case concerning the constitutionality of the affordable care act. that is live beginning at 10:00 a.m. eastern on c-span, c-span.org and the c-span radio app. let's hear from david in san antonio, texas. before i get to you, i want to the colorresident --

talked about the vaccine. here is the president's tweet a few moments ago "stock market at soon,accine coming reported 90% effective, such great news. -- news." that is from president trump this morning. vice president mike pence will be convening a session of the coronavirus task force later this afternoon. to david now in texas. welcome. comments tove a few make. one on the virus. i hear everybody acting like a bunch of panic stricken germ of phobos. had 3 billion people on this planet. the asian flu came through and killed one million of us. today, we have 9 billion people on the planet and the asian flu -- i mean, and this covid has or akilled one million little bit more.

it is hardly as severe as the asian flu was. when the asian flu hit america, we went to work, we went to school. i placed clothing cards at the clothing factory where my grandma sewed peacocks -- peacoat's and overcoats. my dad was a navy recruiter officer. my mom was a nurse. we went to work, we lived life. we did not run away and hide in the basement from some bug. these people today in this country act like a bunch of panic stricken germ of phobos. i have no reason to do what they are doing and if you look back, the human race has survived a lot worse than this. one thing about america, we have a lot of old people because our health care is so good and we quit smoking and drinking like drunks. we are living a lot longer. when we are up in years, that virus is rough on us, but that is not trump's fault.

it is just a factor of getting old. like me, i am 80. you are vulnerable to the flu. we have always been vulnerable to the flu. host: here is the bloomberg reporting on the number of covid cases. near 10 million in the u.s.. no slow down insight. worldwide numbers, total deaths, 1.2 million deaths worldwide according to the data reported by bloomberg. michael is next on the republican line in maryland. good morning. caller: good morning, thanks for having me. i would like to make a few points. that last caller was pretty much right on. i support trump 100%. even with him contesting the election, i think that is a great thing because all of the establishment people are going to come right back andrew in this country again. i am worried for my kids future.

want eight-year-olds to choose their gender. that is ridiculous. these are ridiculous policies these people are pushing on the left. i can't believe that america has gone that way. i just don't believe that that is true. why would somebody choose to abandon the american family? that is not what americans want and what foreigners come from other countries to america want for their kids and their families. thank you very much for having me and hearing me out. host: carol, atlanta, georgia. democrats line. caller: top priority is probably covid and character. it is despicable and heinous to me, as an ordained person of faith that it is totally trump's fault. people need to check the statistics. my brother lives in thailand where they have 70 million people and they have had 59 deaths. look at new zealand, when people

say this isn't trump's fault, of course it is trump's fault. all you need is a mask mandate. the private school i go to, we have had none and we are open, but people who refuse to wear a mask but want to tell a woman what to do with her body is just wrong. you're getting this from someone ,ho is saying to inject bleach short memories. you're telling people steve bannon has been banned from twitter because he wants to kill dr. fauci, who has served the american public health for 50 years since president ronald reagan. republican presidents. we need to sadly listen to science and look at the world stage. welcome back america. lastly, i am a volunteer every day at an afterschool program for his damp -- hispanic kids. i know people who have interviewed over 6000 asylum families. these families are unable to even apply for a job. they are not mexican rapists.

the people i know could get sent back. it was bad with obama, don't misunderstand me, but over 400 new laws to keep these people out. i just want to look at character, covid. thank the lord, we are not getting up every morning to tweets and someone who has failed at every business he has done. he had six bankruptcies with his casinos, his steaks and universities, his wives. it is endless. thank you for taking my call. host: this is from the hill this morning. biden unveils new coronavirus task force. they say he named a number of public health experts who will serve on his task force. the experts include the former director of the biomedical research and development authority who said he was forced out of his position earlier this year after opposing or promoting .nproven treatments

emanuel, who served as former advisor to the obama ministration on the affordable care act. surgeon who, a served as advisor to the clinton and obama administrations will serve. one tweets as i expect measured actions from a biden administration to meet public needs in the short term. in the long term, i expect reconciliation and cooperation to right the ship capsized by donald trump. this one, if joe biden wants to unite the country, he can apologize to the child supporters he smeared as racists. the charge of racism is so defamatory that it cannot simply be dismissed as politics usual. healing will only start of an admission of this is wrong. says increase social security and medicare. one more, the climate, human

rights, the economy. there is so much that needs to be fixed. while i doubt biden's ministration is going to do much, it can do some things, hopefully. charlie in palm city, california. thank you, c-span and the opportunity to call in and listen to people event every day. i just wanted to make a couple of points. topink one of the priorities is going to be covid-19. i still can't understand why we have children going back to school and not getting tested but nba players are getting tested three and four times a day. our children and our teachers are more important than anyone else when it comes to getting tested. you can take somebody's temperature, that does not mean they don't have the virus. i think that is got to be one of our top priorities. the other thing, we have to stop

buying all of our stuff from china. if we can't produce a six inch q-tip to do a test, we have problems. we have drugs coming in from china and people have to stop buying chinese products. the other issue i hope gets resolved are the illegal aliens down here in florida. store,go to the grocery 90% of your produce is being picked by people that are from south america or hispanics. on the table food without these people working. that are good republicans, but they hire illegal aliens by the thousands. basically, slave labor. fired, there is no unemployment insurance being paid on them. basically, it is a new slavery we have created with all of these illegal aliens. the third one i want to make a last point on is the abortion

debate. i listened yesterday when people were calling and saying if you have an abortion, you are going to hell. at the 1.5 to look million abortions going on every year. girls and these young boys having babies? they are having babies because they are not using protection. i'm a catholic. the catholic church tells me my wife can't use the pill, she can't use the morning-after pill, iud. i can't use a condom. that is ridiculous. these kids are going to have sex, but you have to figure out familieswe have these and teach sexbond education and try to solve the problem.

let's not get on the radio and say i am against all abortions. you can't unless your wife was dying in the hospital and there is a dozen or more reasons why women die every year, or we have premature babies or fetal alcohol syndrome babies where women are alcoholics or heroin addicts. these are the kind of issues we need to address. just don't stand up and say i am against all abortions. host: brenda up next in south carolina, democrats line. priority wouldt be the covid-19 virus. we were discussing student loans last night and how he is paying over $400,000 and not even touching interest of the last six years. host: if you don't mind saying, how much do you think the four

kids you have that went to college in student loans? caller: wow. , altogether,bout about $800,000. i'm just kidding. i would say maybe, about $300,000 between the four of they have different degrees. my oldest has a bachelors, masters, phd. my next has a bachelor master. my next has a bachelor master. my last one is a police officer and does not make a lot of money. u.n. titled them to what you want and you can do what you want, but it is terrible. i think between the four of them, it is right around $300,000. host: what do you think the administration can do on that? what do you think the best option is. in their cases, i think

the interest rate needs to be more. in my son's case, i think he should after 10 years, it comes off. will have paid over $50,000. by the time they drop it, he will be able to pay that amount of money. host: is he the one that is a police officer? caller: yes, and i >> we believe this here and take you live to wilmington, delaware from live remarks -- for lever works from joe biden. . host: -- mr. biden: today, we can reopen our business is and sustainably and put this pandemic behind us.
