deterring travelers. with 6 million taking to the skies and another 40 million expected to travel by car. >> not all restrictions are following the science and we should because is going into thanksgiving we should also be celebrating great news on the vaccine front. >> it is hard to stay motivated for everyone to continue doing the right thing in terms of physical distancing and mask wearing when you have policymakers getting restrictions that don't necessarily follow the science but the good news is through operation warp speed despite the recommendations, we have true scientific discoveries happening as it happened in record-breaking time. there were two vaccine candidates who will wait by

2020, alex azar said 20 million americans will be vaccinated by the end of 2020. we have no anticipation this is going to happen. this is absolutely incredible and we should be celebrating this moment right now. >> there are 3 vaccines showing positive results. turning to the 2020 election donald trump county a milestone as the dow hits the 37 market. griff: key cabinet picks while laying out a plan for the first 100 days. lauren blanchard in washington with the latest. >> reporter: this thanksgiving week the white house celebrating an economic milestone, the dow hit 30,000 yesterday, donald trump stayed away from the press since the election, briefly talked about the win. >> the stock market just broke 30,000, never been broken, the ninth time since the beginning of 2020 and the 40 eighth time

we have broken records during the trump administration. >> reporter: is the trump administration focuses on economic gains yesterday joe biden gave an idea what his first 100 days will look like, biden said he will rollback trump era executive orders especially those that deal with climate issues. he said he will send the senate immigration bill to pay the way to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants. the president-elect introduced his picks for top foreign-policy and national security posts, names that are well-known in the dc beltway including tony lincoln for secretary of state and john kerry to lead the white house on climate change. >> this team behind me and embody my core belief that america is strongest when it works with its allies, a team that reflects the fact that

america is back, ready to lead the world, not retreat from it. >> reporter: not all are happy with the choices, some democrats say the team has too many obama era names the won't go far enough on progressive issues. republicans agree it is obama 3.oh although biden says it is not. senator marco rubio tweeted cabinet picks will, quote, be polite and orderly caretakers of america's decline. i support american greatness and have no interest in returning to the normal that left us dependent on china. biden and his team are full speed ahead meeting with different federal agencies. president-elect is planning to deliver a thanksgiving address sometime today, donald trump still has not offered a formal concession it his legal team continues their fight in the courts. jillian: a new cnbc poll shows only 3% of the president's voters accept biden's victory,

73% say the president is the legitimate winner, 24% say they are not sure. griff: charlie heard says donald trump shook up the republican party and they still have some business to learn from him. >> one of the biggest obstacles in washington for donald trump was republicans. the single greatest lesson republicans in washington can learn from donald trump is exactly that, that they are here to represent the people and not corporate interests, state interests, all these people, wall street is thrilled with what is going on in washington, the international community, they are thrilled with what they are seeing out of washington right now. that is not the american people. jillian: memos of the media caught on a hot mike after the statement on the dow. listen to this. >> thank you very much, everybody.

>> why not -- >> cnn white house correspondent retweeted multiple accounts recapping the moment it did not say whether or not he made the comments. >> donald trump planning to pardon michelson, sources say the former national security adviser may be part of several pardons between now and when the president leaves office, he pled guilty to lying to the fbi in 2017 but lost, he was originally questions, russian ambassador during the transition, supporters say the fbi set him up and forced him into giving this statement. retired brigadier general robert spalding says michael flynn deserves justice. >> what happened to general

flynn is a disgrace to the country. the fact that the us government used its resources to spy on the trump campaign and essentially went after general flynn in order to get him out of the national security adviser -- >> reporter: the department of justice declined to comment on the potential pardon. >> reporter: holly slamming facebook after changed the algorithm to favor media outlets, the missouri republican tweeting big tech wants to control all news in america and soon will if we don't stop them. the new york times reported the change postelection to combat misinformation. in a statement, the asportation's in this report are based on forces that have no product decision-making authority.

days i will send an immigration bill to the senate with a pathway to citizenship to do away with some of the i think very damaging executive orders. jillian: joe biden lays out plans to reverse key trump administration foreign policies in his first hundred days. i'm looking at a return to the obama era? griff: joining us to react, kristin tate. happy early thanksgiving. give us your thoughts. we are seeing what looks like an immigration bill is top of the order along with the environment. and covid-19 relief. >> lester holt asked biden about his cabinet picks which may clear the days of an trenched dc insiders at the helm will

return, the swamp is back, tony lincoln a secretary of state, shift back to that obama era interventionist foreign-policy of policing the world, illegal drone strikes. a lot of people don't remember we saw more drone strikes carried out during obama's first year than george bush's entire presidency. last night biden also dodged questions about schools being shut down due to covid-19 even though all the data suggests there is no danger to students or staff for in person learning we still don't know who biden will choose as his secretary of education but it seems a biden administration could be a threat to school choice especially because several people in his transition team are from the nation's largest teachers unions which if we lose school choice that is a tragedy for students

who come for underprivileged backgrounds. it seems we are looking at a return of big bureaucracy, obama era policies and this could result in not just conservatives disliking an obama administration but the left wingers in his own party who would like to see more radical policy agendas especially with foreign-policy rollout may not be satisfied by the direction his cabinet picks suggests. jillian: a bloomberg political reporter tweeting about biden's stocks, george h w bush's stocks, made by britain will be too, there are plenty more substantive things to tweet about. i agree with that statement, we can have fun sometimes too. it seems like there has been so much focus on softball questions joe biden has received for a long time that when you throw in something like this that is why

it is getting a lot of play and has a lot of people asking if this is what we can expect to see, more that? >> the mainstream media doesn't even pretend to be objective anymore. joe biden is a career politician with four decades public service. there's a lot on his record to scrutinize that should have raised questions during the campaign and after, he was responsible for the crime bill that led to mass incarceration, he voted for the 2003 invasion of iraq, his son hunter had questionable dealings overseas, made millions from nations like ukraine and china, so many things in his background that should be raising questions but those questions never came up. what is interesting in my opinion is as biden comes into

office we may see outlets like the new york times, washington post, cnn and msnbc losing readers and viewers because there is no longer a bogeyman like trump to complain about all day. if they are just pushing out biden's socks people might get bored and stop tuning in. griff: there we talk about the monday morning quarterback in, the media research center has a new poll that polled 1700 people in 7 swing states about their vote and how they felt about things, and a couple issues, biden's 6 assault allegations, hunter biden scandal and senator harris being the most left of them, one in 6 biden supporters said they would abandon him had they known more about these issues. >> it is such a shame we saw in this election a coordinated effort between democrats, media and big tech to suppress and

outright ban stories that were bad about joe biden, it was so partisan and this is in my opinion the biggest threat to our elections and our democracy. right before the election twitter was banning people posting links to a new york post story about hunter biden that was a relatively well researched story, was not factually incorrect, the new york post cited attacking policies, but twitter had no problem with users sharing reports from the new york times about trump's leaked tax returns. people are becoming aware of it, from twitter to other sites like parlor, a real problem when people don't have access to real information. griff: happy thanksgiving. todd: the ban on in person dining starts today in la but will the band do more harm than good? our next guest a restaurant

owner says restrictions just don't make sense. todd: americans say they don't want to see donald from dragged out of office but liberals disagree, the online backlash coming up. ♪ save.

griff: the in person dining been starts today to curb a spike and covid-19 cases but the numbers don't seem to back it up. another lockdown putting businesses over the edge, in

monrovia, california, it is an interesting day in la county. for viewers who may not be aware, what are you facing? >> i am facing the devastation of furloughing 45 employees we have, in this festive holiday time we have to tell them they no longer have a job. >> the la county department of health telling us 3.one% of covid-19 cases in la county trace back to restaurants and bars, only 3.one%. do you feel like this is fair? >> this is extremely unfair. we complied with all health department regulations, wearing masks, shields, putting barriers between people, sanitization, front door, back door, interviewing staff to her 15 minutes before they get to work,

to checking their temperatures, everything asked from us and we have exceeded safety measures. banning for outdoor dining at 20% is not the solution. griff: tell me your specific case. you've seen across los angeles, as far as they could to the point of financial brakes to make the exchanges, to have outdoor dining just to survive and now this, what have you personally invested? >> we have invested savings money, $5,000 to build a setting to allow our patrons to sit, to have this covid-19 safety sanitation mask providing commercial providing, barrier providing, over 10,$000 for a small business that started in february, started doing very well and we had to close down, we closed the whole restaurant

down because no one was taking breakfast to go and when they allowed 20% indoor dining we allow, bring staff back, train them. all this costs very costly and they allow us to shut the indoor out, go to the outdoor setting, training, bringing staff back and accommodating guests and devastation is right for thanksgiving to tell them they have to go. griff: we hope the best for you, stay in touch with us and let us know how you handle this next wave. we will be thinking about you. happy thanksgiving. jillian: it is 27 after the air, potentially weeks from a covid-19 vaccine for cdc could shorten the time of self quarantine.

griff: a series of airstrikes in syria targeting a military base used by the iranian revolutionary guard. jillian: israel is being blamed for the deadly blast, breaking developments. >> reporter: good morning. eight iranian backsliders killed overnight in airstrikes south of the syrian capital of damascus. according to syrian state media they say no casualties took place but israel is behind the strikes taking place just south of damascus but also another

group close to the israel serious border in the golan heights, this comes as israel remains on high alert along the border with syria and lebanon. a report in the jerusalem provost says the militant group has bola has a presence in southern syria larger than previously thought. benjamin netanyahu vowed to target any iranian backed group that tried to encroach on his relapse border. each strike must be precise as has bola, how to respond when fighters killed in syria. a counterattack to the strikes could come at any moment and we know the israeli military remains on high alert in the northern part of the country. todd: thanks very much. jillian: a major milestone in the fight against covid-19 just weeks away. >> the vaccine is going to begin to be rolled out probably by the end of the second week of december initially in a hierarchical way, nursing home residents and some combination

of healthcare providers and individuals at high risk. griff: as the us gears up for distribution next month, senior health analyst doctor manny alvarez joins us with his take on this news. happy early thanksgiving. this is good news. >> it is good news. i think the whole story about the vaccine is a positive one not only from the discoveries, the efficacy of 90% and now we get into the process of distribution of the vaccine, pfizer started the mechanics to see how it works, hospitals in texas, we are going to kick the tires and get this rolled out sooner rather than later. jillian: to have potentially three of them, all with good efficacy, that is fantastic.

let's talk about this. the cdc is considering shortening the recommended 14 day quarantine time for people exposed to covid-19, from 7 to 10 days possibly. we can pull of this statement, quote, cdc is always reviewing guidance and recommendations in the light of new understandings of the virus that causes covid-19, will announce such changes when appropriate. is it appropriate to shorten the timeline of quarantine? >> this quarantine has to do with people that were exposed to somebody with the virus. not that they have the virus themselves. you came into contact in new jersey or new york you are supposed to 14 for 14 days, people are not doing that and the contact tracing by the public health officials is not working so what they are saying is if you were exposed, maybe tweet 7 days with a negative test, that is the caveat people

forget to realize this is what they are thinking about. if you were exposed or went to an area, you don't have symptoms, a test, if the test is negative you go back into the community. it is not official yet. the cdc changes their tune especially they don't have a consensus but this is what they are thinking about. griff: talking about the children. we thought that kids were handling this better but we've seen in the last two weeks the us total cases of kids from november 5th-nineteenth, a 2-week period, 28% increase in new cases. what is the cause of that? what do you make of this? >> one thing about kids and covid-19, the mortality is

extremely low and they do not tend to get sick, do not tend to have symptoms. saying that, that doesn't mean they don't get exposed to the virus like everybody else and the data is we are testing more kids than before because we have more kids available. if you look at the population mostly affected by children with covid-19 it is the minority population, african-americans, latinos, those communities and those kids can have positive results. it is important to follow the information especially because it is a vulnerable community, to have complications from covid-19, the cdc has to focus the efforts making sure minorities are dressed properly. griff: have a happy thanksgiving, thanks for joining us. i am going to go shopping now. it is wednesday.
