she's like, oh, me, dear, no. oh, dear, no, i voted for biden, so i don't -- >> this morning's "eye opener" is presented by progressive. making it easy to bundle insurance. >> you really do have to laugh. welcome to "cbs this morning." if you didn't see that news conference with rudy giuliani, you must take a look-see. i'm not sure the rudy giuliani is helping the president's case. the hair dye, the leaking, the movie references. it was very messy. >> and a lot of people in the president's orbit agree and are making that point. >> at the same time, it was an extremely serious accusation. backed by zero evidence. and very serious. >> and very, very disturbing. >> they called it strange and lacking evidence. >> disturbing. we're going to begin with this. americans are being devastated by the coronavirus at levels once considered unthinkable. more than 187,000 new cases were reported yesterday, and that is

a new record. we're also seeing increased deaths, more than 2,000 people just yesterday. that's a number the experts have warned we would hit by christmas. >> the coronavirus task force held its first public briefing yesterday in months. i came as the cdc issued a blunt new warning telling americans not to travel for thanksgiving. our lead national correspondent david begnaud joins us with some breaking vaccine news. david, good morning. >> good morning. we just heard from pfizer. they will today request emergency use authorization from the fda. now we don't know how long it's going to take to get the authorization so that the vaccine can start being distributed to elderly people, frontline workers and eventually to the rest of us. but again, that could take months. this morning we're at 57th street in midtown manhattan. look at the line to get tested. it stretches around the block. i counted it. 98 people when i started counting, and that was about ten minutes ago. some folks were lining up at 5:00 a.m. you mentioned the covid task force.

it had been months since we heard from them. finally, they took to the podium yesterday. let's start with that. >> this is really a call to action. >> reporter: briefing the country for the first time in four months, white house coronavirus task force coordinator dr. deborah birx acknowledged that the situation nationally is worse than ever. >> this is more cases, more rapidly than what we had seen before. >> reporter: but the news is not all bad. with emergency use authorizations or euas as they are known, for vaccines on the horizon, officials say distribution could start within weeks. >> eua comes, 24 hours later, vaccines will be distributed. >> reporter: dr. anthony fauci called the results of coronavirus vaccine trials extraordinary and he urged all americans to get vaccinated as soon as possible. >> the process of the speed did not compromise at all safety, nor did it compromise scientific integrity. >> reporter: dr. fauci also said right now more than ever before, americans should double down on

hand washing, mask wearing and social distancing. >> if you are fighting a battle and the cavalry is on the way, you don't stop shooting. >> reporter: meanwhile, the fight continues in icus across america where nurses are battling not just the virus but denial. registered nurse ashley bartholemew was shocked when one of her covid patients in an el paso hospital told her this. >> just kind of gestured towards the tv like, well, fake news. it doesn't really seem like it's more than a flu. i said to him, i have never seen so much death and so much sickness in the past two weeks than i have in my entire ten years in health care combined. >> reporter: bartholemew cried in front of him and she says after that patient left the icu, his perspective changed. >> he said, wow, i -- i saw the other people, and i was wrong. >> what did that moment mean to

you when he seemed to get it? >> i would love to say that it felt like a victory, but the big picture, that if there are people that are thinking along these same lines, we're in trouble. >> what was your intention behind sharing this? >> i don't know. i haven't been asked that. i guess my intention is just that, you know, misinformation is killing us. >> reporter: i can tell you from traveling this country for the last seven months covering coronavirus, the denial is real. and, gayle, it's affecting -- it is affecting, as you saw from that nurse, the frontline workers who are taking care of people who are dying. >> that's why, david, i think it's so important that you're telling these stories. but what really hurts me is that it has to get this dire for people to get it. we keep hearing these stories over and over. it has to get almost where you're near the brink where people say, yeah, this is really serious. thank you. >> they are still fighting it, gayle.

>> i know. we just have to keep telling the story, david. thank you very much. and the next test of trust will be the vaccine. dr. anthony fauci says this thing is solid. they have not -- >> it is helpful to say that. >> and the pandemic is also more widespread than it has been at any time before with hospitalizations on the rise in nearly all 50 states. carter evans visited one small hospital in rupert, idaho, which is in a desperate situation. >> reporter: with more people testing positive for the coronavirus every day, rural hospitals are struggling to keep up. we got a look inside minedoka memorial in southern idaho where they have 17 beds and room for only three covid patients. >> this is what we call the entry room. >> reporter: nurse benkey has been helping transfer the most critically ill to other large hospitals for months. >> how soon do you think you'll have a covid patient back in here? >> we've only had a room open for like 12 hours at a time. >> reporter: as many of those

hospitals near capacity, she worries about what's coming. >> have you ever had to make a decision who gets care and who doesn't? >> we have never -- we've trained for things like that. and training is so different than when you get the real live body in here to figure out what to do. and we haven't. >> reporter: this is wone of th makeshift covid rooms. nurses can see through. they've also reversed the air conditioning system so the air is sucked in and no virus can come out. this 85-year-old man is infected and has been hospitalized here for four days. is he getting better? >> he's pretty weak, and that's one of the common symptoms for a lot of people. >> reporter: kelsey phillips and nurses in small hospitals around the country are working nonstop. >> very tiring and exhausting. you are breathing the same air all day long. >> reporter: for them, concern about the virus doesn't end when their shift is over. you have kids? >> uh-huh. >> you worry about bringing this

home to them? >> sure, i do. i have a son who has asthma. my husband and i both work here so when we get home, we are stripping in the garage. throw our clothes into the wash or the way through. the kids have to stay in their rooms. it's changed the way we have to do things at home. not just at work. >> reporter: now if the bigger hospitals reach capacity, one nurse told me they'd turn the entire medical floor into a covid ward. that means they'd have to put other patients into surgical rooms and when they fill up, the hallways. gayle, they hope it doesn't come to that. >> we all open that. thank you, carter. as this crisis worsens, health experts have repeatedly warned our national response is just not enough. we are joined by health and human services secretary, that's alex azar. good morning, mr. secretary. good to see you. >> morning, gayle. >> kudos to the trump administration because "operation warp speed" appears to be working the way you hoped. pfizer breaking news this morning that you've applied, the fda is going to apply for

emergency use authorization. what does that mean? how soon could the vaccine be available and to who? >> gayle it means that hope and help are on the way. pfizer filing today for emergency use authorization means that fda will very quickly announce that we'll be scheduling a public advisory committee process of independent experts who will give fda their best views on the data. and if the data is as solid as it appears if the company is transparent in their interactions, we literally could be weeks away from the authorization of a 95% effective vaccine, and we've said 24 hours later, we'll ship millions of doses of that vaccine and within a couple of months between pfizer and moderna's vaccine, assuming they both are approved, we'll have vaccinated tens of millions of america's most vulnerable citizens. >> let's hang on to that, secretary. let's talk about your news conference yesterday. number one, great to see you guys. we haven't seen you in four months. i'm curious about why it took so long tho to speak to the

american people and lutz know what what's going on. deborah birx said it's going in the wrong direction and it's getting worse. why can't we get it under control? >> the situation is very serious but it's not one where the united states is isolated. we've seen this in western europe and canada and the united states. i coordinate across all the g7 health ministers, and it's a common phenomenon. people are fatigued. people have given up. they've sacrificed so much over the past ten months. we've gotten colder weather. we've moved indoors and lost the natural social distancing that happen fros from being outside. we've gone to crowded indoor bars and restaurants and let our guard down. we don't practice the three ws. washing our hands, watching our distance and wearing our face coverings. that's what we have to do and we can bend the curve as dr. birx and dr. fauci said yesterday if we'll all just do those things. >> yesterday president-elect biden said he's had no contact with the trump administration, and this is a very dire situation, as you know.

he says every day that they don't communicate, it's costing lives because ultimately they'll have to take control of this. when do you plan to speak to the biden administration? >> so we'll coordinate and talk as soon as it's appropriate. i'm going to leave that transition planning to other individuals. right now mat people need to know is the coronavirus response, we're all on it. "operation warp speed" -- >> but when is it appropriate? when is it appropriate? >> well, gayle -- >> go ahead. >> there's a statute in place that directs the process for that. what the american people need to know is the same career people at cdc, fda, defense department, hhs that are running this response and "operation warp speed" on january 19th are going to be the same people on january 21st and every aspect of what we do is completely transparent. there's no secret data or knowledge. we spent hours with the public and the media this week laying out every aspect of the distribution planning on these vaccines. our epidemiological information completely transparent. our planning. everything. >> so secretary azar, it sounds

like you're saying that joe biden is incorrect when he says this delay is going to cost lives? >> absolutely incorrect. >> all right. leave it there. >> all right, secretary azar. thank you. we have a difference of opinion, clearly, but we thank you for your time this morning. >> president-elect joe biden says president trump's refusal to concede is a debilitating danger at this time in the pandemic. he spoke after a video conference with republican and democratic governors and vice president-elect kamala harris. he said his lack of access to key information could damage recovery efforts and cost lives. biden also said he discussed a nationwide mask mandate with the governors and insisted he does not intend to shut down the economy. president trump's hopes of overturning vote totals in this election suffered a major setback in the state of georgia

after a recount by hand. president trump lost narrowly to president-elect joe biden. despite that, mr. trump is ramping up his unprecedented efforts to get a second term. yesterday his personal lawyer rudy giuliani held an extraordinary news conference making unsubstantiated claims of fraud. weijia jiang is at the white house for us. good morning. >> good morning, tony, and good morning to everybody. part of this strategy played out on live television during that frantic press conference with rudy giuliani. it was pure spectacle filled with unsubstantiated claims and wild conspiracy theories. none of which were supported with a single shred of evidence. >> i know crimes. i can smell them. you don't have to smell this one. i can prove it to you 18 different ways. >> reporter: president trump's personal attorney rudy giuliani did not provide any evidence as he and the campaign's legal team floated the unsubstantiated idea that president-elect joe biden's win was the result of a

widespread operation to rig the vote, blaming everything from democratic donors to venezuela. >> it's disgraceful what happened. >> reporter: the 90-minute press conference left giuliani with what appears to be hair dye streaming down his face. while he said this publicly about pennsylvania's election rules -- >> clearly illegal. clearly voter fraud. easily provable. >> reporter: giuliani did not make the same claims in front of a judge in pennsylvania on tuesday. >> does the complaint plead fraud with particularity? >> no, your honor. and it doesn't plead fraud. >> they are moving away from a legal strategy to a disinformation strategy. >> reporter: election law expert david becker says it's important to pay attention to what's happening in court where the trump campaign has had little success in its more than 20 court cases. >> it's real easy to make unsupported wild conspiracy claims. it's really hard to support

those claims in court. >> reporter: the president is now getting directly and publicly involved making the unprecedented move to invite michigan's top republican lawmakers to the white house. it appears to be part of a plan to overturn the results of the state, which he lost by more than 150,000 votes. the invitation comes after mr. trump personally called the two republican members of michigan's assers.ounty board of afterwards, said they wanted to rescind their votes to certify the county's results, despite no evidence of widespread voter fraud claiming the president's call had nothing to do with their decision. late last night, republican senator mitt romney blasted president trump on twitter resorted to overt pressure on state and local officls to subvert theill of the people. isifficulto imagine a worsore unde action by a american president.

>> i think you're witnessing incredible irresponsibility. incredibly damaging message is being sent to the rest of the world about how democracy functions. >> reporter: today, for the first time in more than a week, president trump has a public event on his schedule about lowering drug prices for all americans. president-elect joe biden plans to meet in delaware with congressional democratic leaders. he's also celebrating his 78th birthday, making him the oldest man who will ever occupy the oval office. president ronald reagan held that record before. he was 77 when he left the white house. tony? >> might need a recount on joe biden's age. perhaps he's younger. hand recount on that. >> there's a lot being made about rudy giuliani's hair dye. and it's not that, that problematic. most people over the age of 60, men and women, myself include, use hair dye. it's just that i really encourage viewers to go and look at that news conference. it was so nonsensical and then

judge for yourself what everybody is talking about. >> legal experts are saying, they are calling it an opening argument. it is time to move to a closing argument. >> they have presented no evidence in any of the court cases. 7:18. time to check

ahead we'll show you how hard it is to store ship a >> this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by -- into a smaller life? are your asthma treatments just not enough? then see what could open up for you with fasenra. it is not a steroid or inhaler. it is not a rescue medicine or for other eosinophilic conditions. it's an add-on injection for people 12 and up

♪ sunshine. welcome back to "cbs this morning." in our "road to a vaccine" series we look at a crucial issue for the first coronavirus vaccines. this morning, pfizer said it's applying and will apply today for fda authorization and emergency use authorization, what's called, for the vaccine. the drug giant hopes to produce up to 50 million doses this year with about half of those doses going here to the u.s. moderna will apply soon to the fda and expects to deliver about 20 million doses in the u.s. by the end of the year. companies are trying to figure out how what the best way is to keep the product safe and effective. and as dana jacobson is about to

show us, it's an icy challenge. tell us about it. >> good morning. it's a challenge because hours after that covid vaccine gets fda approval, a series of tightly choreographed logistics will start playing out to get the vaccine into people's arms. moderna and pfizer's vaccines require two doses weeks apart and to further complicate things there are obstacles to moving and storing the vaccine. at aptly dry ice in cambridge, massachusetts. >> these are big pellets. these are small pellets. >> reporter: the owner and his team are working around the clock to provide dry ice to vaccine manufacturers. >> not something i'm guessing when you start a dry ice company you think about. >> i never thought i'd be saving lives but it feels really good. >> reporter: colder than antarctica in winter it's critical to transporting and storing the coronavirus vaccines. >> the demand is definitely higher right now for the vaccinemakers because, as fast as they make the vaccine, they are shipping it out. >> reporter: dry ice is made

from carbon dioxide or co2. a byproduct of ethanol production. with americans driving less in the wake of the pandemic, ethanol plants shut down, resulting in a shortage of carbon dioxide over the summer. how important is the co2 to the dry ice process? >> without co2 it's like being at mcdonald's without hamburgers. >> reporter: so this summer there was a shortage of dry ice. what about right now where there seems to be so much focus? >> we happen to have a great supply chain of co2. it's always scarey to see what the demand is going to be with the vaccine. >> reporter: with the help of dry ice, vaccines will be shipped from manufacturing facilities to freezer farms like pfizer's in kalamazoo, michigan, and then to vaccination sites across the country. tonya is a pfizer supply chain executive. >> what's your biggest challenge? >> the biggest challenge is we're seeing so much in parallel, we don't have all the answers. >> reporter: pfizer's vaccine needs to be kept at 94 degrees

below zero fahrenheit. so it developed a thermal shipper to transport and store its vaccine at subarctic temperatures. >> the cool box, at least we think it's cool, it's a box about the size of like a carry-on suitcase. and then there's dry ice that goes around it and it has a device within it that has a continuous gps and temperature monitor. so we will be able to have continuous eyes on every shipper. >> reporter: each cool box contained a minimum of about 1,000 vaccine doses. >> that's a problem. >> reporter: tim size represents 43 rural hospitals across wisconsin. >> if you can ship 1,000, you can ship 200. it's more expensive. it's more cumbersome. >> reporter: he says the nearly 1,000 minimum dose requirement is a challenge for rural areas. it means rural health care workers may have to travel to big cities to receive the vaccine. all while tackling a new wave of coronavirus infections. >> we're under a huge surge. for them to have to travel and maybe take a day off of work to

travel to a regional center to then stand in line to get vaccinated, go back to work and then two weeks later go back, take in another day off. it just makes logistics really bad. >> reporter: pfizer says they are working on a smaller shipper with less doses, which should be available early next year. ultra cold freezers can help vaccine doses survive longer. but he says those are out of reach financially for most rural hospitals. >> there's a lot of other things they do with $15,000 or $20,000. >> reporter: moderna says its vaccine is stable at standard refrigeration temperatures and can be handled using existing infrastructure at pharmacies in doctor's offices. he says that could be a game-changer, but he wants rural areas to have equal access to all the vaccines. >> we have a tremendous need to bridge rural and urban back together in our country. basically rural is getting the message, we'll start with urban. even if it's for reasonable

logistical reasons, it's bad optics. i don't think anybody wants to give the message that rural wisconsin, rural america is second class. >> pfizer told us one of the fundamental principles is equitable access to their vaccines. they don't have all the answers today, but she said pfizer is working with "operation warp speed" to make sure it can get doses out to rural communities. anthony? >> dana, thank you. wow, so critical what's happening. this is a critical inflection point in all of this. getting it out. you want to make sure those frontline medical workers in rural communities get this. >> i feel like you can solve this. put them on a truck with more dry ice, get it out to the communities who need them so those in the hospitals working so hard don't have to make the trip. >> what i like is mark is on the ice. >> the dry ice man. >> the dry ice man cometh. he's taking it very seriously and we need him right now. up next, a group of migrant women comes forward claiming they had unnecessary medical

a group of migrant woman is coming forward with claims they were the victims of unwanted and unnecessary medical procedures at a federal detention center in georgia. 22 women shared graphic stories in support of a lawsuit filed in court yesterday alleging poor treatment. maria villarreal shows us how many fear retaliation and they're at risk for imminent deportation and a warning that

the story and description of what they're saying could be very disturbing and graphic. good morning to you, though. >> reporter: good morning, gayle. that is right. immigrations and custom enforcement deny all claims of retaliation and did not speed up the deportation of the women but this new complaint describes allegations of dozens of procedures that patients and also an independent team of doctors that was hired by lawyers at advocate say was medically unnecessary. >> i think that because we're immigrants we should be mistreated. >> she asked us to use only her first name because she's talking to us from inside of the detention center. in a new complaint filed thursday she alleged a doctor improperly performed a transvaginal ultrasound after she told them about her hysterectomy. the pain was excruciating her declaration reads and felt like it was being raped. >> you have been sexually

assaulted before. >> yes. >> and you know what this feels like. >> yes. and it brings those memories back. >> and thousands of pages for other we'll treated by the doctor say there is a disturbing pattern of women pressured to have surgery that was not medically indicated and to which they did not consent. dr. maggie mueller is a member of the team. >> these are procedures that carry risk, they require sedation and anesthesia in the operating room and when you talk to these women, they really will no idea that they were going to have these procedures done. >> so there is a concern from the review board that more damage could have been done to these women that they even know about. >> that's a profound concern that we have. >> reporter: attorneys said attempts to obtain full reports have been blocked. >> with you do not have all of the records. all of the records for all of the women are controlled and held by the federal government.

>> reporter: this lawyer represents two detainees. >> there is a culture of brutality and dehumanization at the irwin county detention center. women are terrified if they speak to the federal investigators they will be deported in retaliation for speaking out. >> that is exactly what happened to one woman. >> i'm in mexico because i spoke up. because they deported me for being outspoken. >> reporter: she claims her deportation was expedited leaving behind two daughters after raising concerns about medical procedures at irwin. >> and i always teach my daughters, that even the 2-year-old, my 8-year-old especially, speak up. baby, speak up. do not be afraid. do not be afraid, love. speak up. >> reporter: there are multiple ongoing investigations into these claims and a lawyer for dr. amin said he's cooperating with all of the investigations. he has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in these cases.

and said that he treats his patients with the utmost care and respect. yesterday a dozen or so congressional delegates democrats sent a letter to federal investigators asking them to protect at least 18 of dr. amin's patients saying they are in detention and they are fearing for deportation so they're asking for that protection of them because they could have crucial evidence in this case. anthony. >> an alarming story. thank you very much. ahead, vlad will look at the

187,000 new cases were reported yesterday. that is a new record. >> look at the line to get tested. it stretches around the block. the covid task force finally took to the podium yesterday. >> you can see they've separated it out with plastic, a window so nurses can see through. they've also reversed the air-conditioning system so the air is sucked in and no virus can come out. joe biden said he's had no contact with the trump administration and this is a very dire situation. >> the same career people at cdc, fda, defense department, hhs that are running this response and "operation warp speed" on january 19th are going to be the same people on january 21st. >> sounds like you're saying yoeb is incorrect when he says this delay is going to cost lives. >> absolutely incorrect. >> new york's unofficial new holiday mascot. >> workers found it tucked away in the branch. >> look how tiny he is. >> that first picture was taken immediately after he was removed from his midtown rent controlled

tree. here he is the moment he found out how much a studio apartment costs in new york. >> i want to go back to the tree. >> so true. >> it is true. >> oh, man. very new york centric joke but i appreciate it. >> that tree got so much abuse and got this beautiful owl in it. >> thinking about living in new york now is the time. >> rents are droping. >> rents are dropping. we begin with the coronavirus. we have promising new news about a coronavirus vaccine. it is arriving as the pandemic is worse than ever. let's talk about the worse than ever part first. yesterday the u.s. saw more than 187,000 cases. that shatters the previous record. but there is hope in the form of a pfizer vaccine said to be 95% effective. the company said this morning it will submit the vaccine to the fda today for emergency use authorization, he's trying to say. alex azar told "cbs this morning" the first batches could be ready in a matter of week. >> dr. anthony fauci spoke at a

white house podium yesterday for the first time in months. he implored people to trust in the safety of the vaccines. >> the process of the speed did not compromise at all safety, nor did it compromise scientific integrity so we need to put to rest any concept this was rushed in an inappropriate way. this is really solid. >> fauci stressed even after people start getting the vaccines, masks, social distancing and hand washing are still critical to stopping the spread. this comes as the cdc urges people to avoid thanksgiving travel saying, quote, postponing travel and staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others this year. we are joined by dr. atuatu.

doctor, very good to see you. let's talk about the thanksgiving travel. the cdc has made it clear if you want a happy -- if you want a happy thanksgiving and you don't want to have a very unmerry christmas under no circumstances should you travel. that said, you see people at the airports, you see people lined up at clinics to get the covid test in anticipation of getting ready for thanksgiving. what is your message to them this morning? >> i'm with the cdc. i think that we're in a tough place right now. it's over 3 million people who are actively infected in the country. when we're gathering at thanksgiving, the risk of exposure whether in airports, train terminals, bus terminals, those are high, so taking into account that advice i think what we know is we're in a tough place. next year, next thanksgiving and christmas we'll be in a very different place, but right now this is where we are. >> even if you get tested today

it doesn't help you for thanksgiving next thursday, right? >> well, that's right. i mean, look, we must get together. you want to keep the folks you're gathering with smaller than we might normally in the holidays, second, you would love to crack a window, third, you would love to make sure you've quarantined for the last about two weeks ahead of time so you make sure you don't pass it along. a test can help during that time. ideally as close as possible to the date. but, you know, really the evidence is that if you gather with 10 or more people, we're upwards of -- we're upwards of 1 out of 100 people having an infection right now so that means many families will have someone infected and they often don't know it capable of passing this coronavirus along. we need to have that as a strong message coming from the very top across the country. this is not a partisan issue,

the virus just doesn't care. >> dr. gawande, president-elect biden has urged the trump administration to provide his transition team with critical information about the pandemic. what is your biggest concern about this delay in the transfer of power? >> well, we have two massive undertakings to address, number one is, understanding just as the new president-elect team takes over, what's the status of masks and gloves or hospital beds, our resources for taking care of people. i'm talking to people at state level, local level, hospital level, nursing homes who are reporting shortages of staff, about 35% of hospitals are short of staff in eight states. are we addressing that and then you add on the vaccine distribution, do we have the syringe, how are we going to allocate who gets first, you know, state officials don't have

that information and that plan and yet being told be ready in two to three weeks to start distributing vaccine. that plan, we need to know about. what are the supplies? are we going to run into shortages over time? this handover, it can't just be dropped in the lap of the next administration. >> the hhs secretary was here earlier and he said, the cdc is staffed by career diplomats. they'll keep things going, all the informatin is public, everything you want is out there. is that true? >> and he said it's not costing lives. he said it's not costing lives, yeah. >> it is absolutely not true. this is dangerous. look, there are basic amounts of information that you just can't land in your lap to understand. here's a case in point. there was a plan for 300 million doses to be available at the end of the year. what they're reporting now is 20 million to 30 million dose as valuable. why? where are the bottlenecks? what are the shortages?

how are they addressing them and what are the gaps the next administration needs to fill? that alone means delays that could cost lives and getting ahead of it could save millions of people, tens of millions of people a chance to get the vaccine sooner. >> so you don't think the president-elect is exaggerating when he says it could cost lives? >> there is no question. look, look at it this way, we have deployed about 100 million tests over the last eight months said one of the governors in the meeting with president-elect pointed out. we're trying to deploy 330 million doses of vaccine to people twice in the next year and trying to accelerate it and happen in months. there's nothing like that that's been undertaken. you don't simply hand it over and think everything is going to go smoothly. we need planning and coordination. >> have you been told when these conversations will begin? >> they will begin the minute that the general service

administration ascertains that president-elect biden can speak to the agency officials and the transition team. those of us advising him can speak to those officials. that doesn't happen until the gsa rules it is the case. the current president, president trump, is putting a lot of pressure to not allow any of these meetings to happen. >> all right, dr. gawande. thank you. the new bipartisan push for a peaceful transition to

and emma corwin about portraying princess diana in the new season of "the crown." >> what sort of weight does that carry? >> i really struggled with that in the beginning because obviously it felt like an enormous pressure and responsibility and made the realization this is a fictional portrayal of her and we are playing characters. >> coming up, the cambridge university grad tells us about sharing the screen with acting royalty and how she mastered princess diana's signature look. you're watching "cbs this morning." ♪

president-elect joe biden is calling president trump's refusal to concede an act of incredible irresponsiblity. now former administrations are pushing for a peaceful transfer of power. m.a.d.d. ly madeline albright and michael chertoff stayed at his post until president obama inauguration day to ensure a smooth transition and the two former secretaries join us now. secretary chertoff, i want to start with you. because you were there in 2001 after the delayed transition in the year 2000. it is said that may have had an impact in the administration's response to 9/11. you were there.

could you tell us how the transition affected the government's actions on that terrible day. >> as the commission, the 9/11 commission made clear, because of a delay in transition, which was due to the fact that there was a dispute about the florida votes, there was a delay in getting people cleared, nominated and in taking on positions, confirmed positions at the critical agencies. so i was there and a few other people were there but we had some vacancies that were not filled and that put more of a burden on people who remained in office, it metropolitant that w slower to respond and one of the takeaways was in a world of terrorism, you cannot afford to have a gap between two administrations. >> we are still living in that world of terrorism, secretary chertoff. so as we stand today, are you worried there could be a repeat and we could be flat footed again? >> candidly i'm more worried now than i was about the situation

in 2001 for the following reasons. first of all, there appears to be a deliberate effort to slow walk the transition and not to begin the process of clearing people or giving presidential briefings. additionally donald trump is now firing many of the senior experienced security officials in his own government which means that we'll be lowering our defenses at precisely the moment that our adversaries, whether they be nation states or terrorists, recognized that there is a vulnerability. so this is really playing recklessly with the safety and security of the american people. >> secretary albright, i want to turn to you now. with you heard alex azar say this morning that basically everything is public and the incoming biden administration doesn't need any extra help. what is your reaction to that comment? >> well, frankly i was appalled. but i think it is irresponsible and the biden people are fully

cognizant of the dangers that have to do with covid and how it has been mishandled. and the act that it has to be something that is done for the health and the lives of american people. and i find it stunning that we could be constantly being told that everything is normal and this is the most selfish, irresponsible response to what is going on, domestically and internationally. and i so agree with secretary chertoff on this, this it is something that should make us very nervous and very suspicious of everything that is going on. because we're being lied to. >> but a recent poll of republicans show more than half of them think this election was rigged. what is your reaction to that? >> well, i have to say, i'm stunned. because i believe in bipartisanship and i believe in the truth and i don't believe that it is responsible of them in many ways not to assess what

going on and i find this a tragic time in many ways. having been through a number of transitions myself, the importance of them, they are a period where the crown jewels are transferred, where people are talking to each other about what happens next and there really is a responsibility in terms of understanding what is good for the american people and not the selfishness and kind of blindness. i find it very hard to even find the right nouns to describe what is going on. >> secretary chertoff, if you could take this one. there have been many times in this administration where the sentence started this has never happened before and this is unprecedented. what are you and your republican homeys saying about this. when you see the number of people not speaking up, what ares your reaction to that and what is your conversation with each other about how we move forward? >> well candidl, i'm not having

that much conversation with republicans. i'm very disappointed and appalled that the number of republicans who are standing by either silently or actually trying to enable is absolutely ridiculous conspiracy theories. whenever the trump campaign has gone to court, they have none been able to produce any evidence of significant fraud. in fact, now a lot of the lawyers of the campaign are bailing out because they realize that if they go in and present their case with no evidence, they run the risk of getting sanctioned. so now we have the -- rudy giuliani with paint running down his face. >> that was hair dye, sir. >> it looked like paint. looking at coming up with outlandish theories. and propagating them in public forum. so this is a very dangerous time for the country. even after the transition, we're going to have a significant number of people who are

accepting conspiracy theories of the most outlandish sort. we need to figure out how to repair our society cohesiveness or we're going to be in very serious trouble going forward. >> secretary albright, in the 30 seconds that we have left, you could talk about step one in repairing that gap in trust in our elections? >> well, i think that we're all going to have to talk to each other, try to figure out what is motivating factor and decide that we need to unify the country. this is a time where unity is needed and understanding and i think those of us that have a sense of what america is about need to begin talking to the others. it is serious. this is very bad. we can't go on like this. we need to understand what is happening. >> candor from both of you. thank you very much. we'll be right back.
