in the 34 years since, that is exactly what i have tried to do in partnership with the extraordinary community here today, that has become my family. in many ways, personal grief has fueled the a.i.d.s. movement since the beginning. both republicans and democrats and congresses have strongly supported bryan still and as a result, countless lives have been saved. i'm especially grateful for president biden's tireless leadership and all that he has done for the fight against a.i.d.s..

that's why along with my daughter and my friend and partner in this work, sir elton john and his foundation, i am honored to introduce today our commander in chief in the fight against aids, president joe biden. [ cheers and applause ]

>> you've changed the world. sorry, i have a cold. you've changed the world. thank you for the introduction and for your courage. you just described the first time we met after her son passed away and what i saw in you then was something extraordinary. you said it best, a mom on a mission, turning your plan into purpose. after all these years looking at everything you've achieved, the lives you have touched, the country you have changed, the world you have made better. you are extraordinary and it's an honor to have you with us again today at the white house. we love you. [ applause ] for the families here today, as jill said, we know how hard it is in different ways, but we know. we know. i hope you can find comfort and remember, one thing is never lost, your love for them and

their love for you. jill and i along with countless others are forever grateful to you for your collective and individual courage. jill and i are especially grateful for the trust you put in us. it's been the honor of our lives to serve in the people's house, your house. we felt an obligation use this sacred place to ensure everyone is seen and the story of america is heard. that's why we're all together here on this world aids day. i want to thank all of you, all lies and advocates who are here, including sir elton john's foundation and so many others with a long history of this fight globally and here at home. jill and i met with elton and david this summer. this event is in no small part as a result that was meeting. a special thanks to a true hero

who has led this fight, dr. anthony fauci. where is anthony? a good man. got love you. god love you , anthony. want to acknowledge dr. laura shever, part of health and human services. who is retiring this year. she started -- after 25 years of service. she started when she was 10 if you take a look at her. god love you. the idea of the quilt was conceived in 1985 by lyde smith and mike jones. to honor the memory of those we

lost to hiv/aids. it started with one name on one panel. decades later, 50,000 panels and 110,000 names. this quilt weighs 54 tons. the largest community art project in the entire world. it tells the tragic stories of brothers who died too soon, moms who contracted aids at childbirth, daughter's life stolen and her own as well. friends and partners who lost loved ones. so many more stories of precious lives cut too short. i do realize that these days of celebration, they bring back all the memories. they are hard. it's not easy. it's important but it's not easy. so i want to thank you for being here. this quilt was first displayed on the national mall in 1987. over the years, it made its way

to the ellipse and president clinton's inaugural parade. today, for the first time in history, the sections are being publicly displayed here at the white house. [ applause ] because like the first threads of this quilt were stitched nearly 40 years ago, it's woven into the history of america, shining a light on the memory and legacy of all sisters and brothers, sons and daughters, husbands and wives, partners and friends who we have lost to this terrible disease. together, we honor the spirit of resilience and the extraordinary strength of people, families and communities affected by hiv/aids, including nearly 40 million people living with hiv around the world today. 40 million.

it matters. it matters. i remember as senator when this epidemic was raging, the stigma, misinformation, the government failing to act and acknowledge the dignity of gbtq lives and the seriousness of epidemic. it caused serious harm. it compounded pain and trauma for a community watching a generation of loved ones and friends perish. it was horribly, horribly wrong. we have seen advocates, survivors, families, allies who have turned their pain into purpose like all of you have. their loss into determination. their anger into a movement that is changing the world. science -- new scientific discoveries, new preventative

care, new global partnerships and so much more. for example, president bush launched -- george w. bush, made the single largest investment to tackle a single disease, saving more than 26 million lives so far. i'm proud to have reauthorized it. i will call on congress to sustain this. [ cheers and applause ] later today i'm traveling to angola where we are deepening our partnership on health priorities, including improving outcomes for people living with hiv. it matters. it matters throughout the world. for all our progress, too many

people continue to live with hiv, including 1 million americans. that's why my first year in office i launched a new national hiv/aids strategy to ensure treatment and prevention is available to everyone, everywhere all across this country. that includes ensuring medications that can prevent hiv infection are affordable in all forms for people without health insurance. [ cheers and applause ] made clear to the insurance companies they can't deny coverage for these medications or for lab tests that doctors recommend to patients. we are fighting the stigma of discrimination against hiv by ending the shameful practice of banning gay and bisexual from donating blood. educating the public about the

latest science and transmission testing and prevention and care. so many of you have been leading the way in these efforts, including the late cornelius baker. [ cheers and applause ] who passed away three weeks ago as a pioneer on advancing hiv testing. together, with all of you, we are calling on states and community leaders to repeal outdated hiv criminalization laws throughout this country. [ cheers and applause ] i'm proud to announce before the end of my term the center for medical and medicare and medicaid services will update its guides, using the latest and technology. it matters. it matters. you have been standing a long time. let me close with this.

you are pretty good. i know the fight to end this terrible epidemic is hard. i look around today -- i mean this -- i look around at all of you, survivors, families, heroes who have never given up. i know it's a fight that we're going to win for all the lives lost and for all those that are still alive. look at what you have already done to change the hearts and minds and save lives across the country and around the world. that's the power of this movement. that's the power of memory of your loved one. that's the power of america. we just have to keep going, keep the faith and remember we are the united states of america. there's nothing beyond our capacity when we do it together, nothing, nothing, nothing. god bless you all. i know i would like to invite everyone to view the quilt.

so folks, i'm getting off this stage. from the bottom of my heart, you are changing the world. you are changing the world. thank you, thank you, thank you. [ cheers and applause ] >> it is a historic day there at white house. you are seeing evidence of the aids quilt that began back in 1987 as a grass-roots effort. december 1st was declared world aids day in 1988. we heard the first lady and the president speaking there. the person you heard in the middle may not be familiar to some of you. that's jeanie white, the mother of ryan white. ryan contracted aids at the age of 13. he had a blood transfusion. he lived with aids for five years and died in 1990. unfortunately, just one month before the ryan white care act was passed by congress. clearly, his legacy lives on through his mother and her

poignant recollections of her son. as you see, the president and first lady going back into the white house. they have invited to do what they're doing, taking a look at the about 50,000 panels that are there representing about 110,000 victims of aids, but people whose loved ones have commemorated them with memories and tributes to them and the light they brought to the lives they led here on earth. it's a big day there. it's momentous at the white house, again, historic, the first time the aids quilt has been ever displayed there at the white house. certainly, in its entirety. clearly a passion project of the president as well to make sure that funding and research continues there in aids and fighting the battle of this disease. i think we have mike memoli. we're going to speak to him quickly. no, we don't have mike. we knew would be there probably among the crowd. i think he stepped away from the camera.

there you have it everybody. taking a look at that which is happening. of course, you see the symbol of aids and the activism there with that bow there on the white house. we are going to take a short break and we will be right back here on msnbc. prilosec otc. one pill. 24 hours. zero heartburn.

washington with the naming of kash patel as his choice for director of the fbi. patel has a history of animosity towards the justice department and has threatened to use federal agencies to go after trump's perceived enemies in government and media. patel will require senate confirmation. congress returns from recess tomorrow. here is how both sides are reacting today. >> president trump is entitled to name his appointees. that's what he is doing. kash has been willing to uncover the wrongs at the fbi. >> i haven't soon the proof that the fbi is weaponized against a political party or the department of justice, this department of justice has brought charges against democratic u.s. senator in new jersey, a democratic congressman

in texas. some people think that it should go only in one direction. >> two more announcements, new ones from donald trump. these are staying in the family. he is e e ing charles cashner kr ambassador to france. new reaction to trump's tariff threats that led to yesterday's president from justin trudeau. pushback from the president of mexico who said she did not agree to close the border. here is how the tariff debate is being framed on both sides. >> you look at the threat of tariffs against mexico and canada immediately has produced action. we have seen the president of mexico stand up and program mis will work with the president.

>> donald trump has insane policy with jobs not created in the united states. use tariffs in the right way. it can create jobs. donald trump is going to talk about tariffs because he doesn't want you to know about the primary centerpiece of his economic agenda, a tax cut for billionaires and millionaires. >> we have reporters covering this. we will go to allie raffa. welcome to you. what can you tell us about trump's pick, kash patel? >> reporter: you heard in the intro those lawmakers and their mixed reaction to this news that the president-elect has picked kash patel to lead the fbi. that's because of his controversial past comments and positions. you will remember he has long pushed conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. he called for the purging of leadership of multiple agencies.

he called for the closure of the fbi headquarters in washington, d.c. he made no secret of his goals if he is confirmed to this position to lead the fbi. one thing standing in his way is the current fbi director, chris wray, who was appointed during the first trump administration and is seven years into a ten-year term. that's something that is standing in his way and something that's clearly a message from the president-elect to wray who has to decide whether to resign from his post or wait until the president-elect is inaugurated in january to be fired from that position. nbc news has reported egs ed ts preparing for the latter. as far as reaction, we heard from jake sullivan on "meet the press" this morning. he said he didn't want to talk about the specific trump picks, he talked about the importance

of the fbi remaining independent from political pressure and presidential influence. listen to his comments. >> the only thing that i can point out is that we, the biden administration, adhere to the longstanding norm that fbi directors serve out full terms. the fbi director is a unique player in the american government system. they are appointed for ten-year terms, not terms for the duration of a given president. the current fbi director, chris wray, was appointed by donald trump. joe biden didn't fire him. he relied upon him to execute his responsibilities as the director of the fbi and allowed him to serve out the fullness of his term. >> reporter: patel's confirmation could be an uphill battle. there are many republicans that agree with his goal to overhaul the fbi. also, there are republicans who insist that that agency should

remain independent and separate from presidential influence, as you heard sullivan talk about. this could end up shaping up to be another test of republican senators' loyalty to the president-elect. >> allie raffa, thank you. we will return to capitol hill where the test of trump's loyalty is playing out in future senate confirmation hearings for his cabinet what who is speaking out and who is staying quiet? >> reporter: that's an important point. earlier today, we heard from a senator who was asked if he supports kash patel to lead the fbi. he stuck his comments to chris wray, talking what a good job he is doing. wray still has three years left on his term. it's very clear he is not going to remain in that position

because trump wants to bring somebody in who will dismantle, disrupt, perhaps destroy as kash patel vowed to do the fbi, the main investigative arm of the department of justice. of course, kash patel will not have a smooth path to confirmation. there will be a lot of questions, a lot of concerns. of course, right now, this building is empty. so senate republicans aren't faced with us, with reporters peppering them with questions. they will have questions for kash patel. his record, his background. he is somebody who served for trump during his first term. he served in the house as well, not as a member but as an aide to a house intelligence member, a top who is an ally of president-elect trump. there's a record to look at. for this moment, we have yet to hear any republican say that this is anything but a good pick from trump. listen to senator ted cruz and a democrat on the judiciary

committee on the other side. >> i think kash patel is a very strong nominee. i believe every one of the cabinet nominees is going to be confirmed. >> is it legitimate or a political appointment to poe lit -- politicize it in trump's favor? we will raise that in the confirmation hearings. >> reporter: that senator from california sits open s on the y committee. they will hold a public hearing and holding private meetings to see if he has what it takes to lead the department. republicans will have a pretty hefty majority next year, three seats plus jd vance. so democrats on the committee will probably not have a lot of power. that said, the top democrat on the panel did release a statement earlier today. he said the president-elect

wants to replace his own appointee of chris wray with an unqualified loyalist. he said the senate should reject this effort to weaponize the fbi for the campaign of retribution that donald trump has promised. >> thank you, julie. where does this leave the current fbi director? some potential outcomes next. met

new reaction to donald trump choosing kash patel as his pick for director of the fbi. joining me, we have barbara mcquade, former u.s. attorney, and an msnbc legal analyst,

perry stein, and dan da lewis. thank you for sticking around. barbara, in 2017, then president donald trump fired james comey, nominated christopher wray. we now have kash patel's nomination with three years left on wray's term. how do you see this playing out between wray and patel? >> well, the duration of an fbi director's term went to ten years with the idea that it would insulate it from the appearance of political interference. it would give a level of independence to the fbi director. donald trump destroyed that when he fired tomorrowy. i expect he will do the same. there's nothing that enforces that rule. nothing says christopher wray must stay for its full ten years. it's a norm. donald trump is prepared to bust

through it. i would expect unless christopher wray resigns, we will see a new fbi director and the termination of christopher wray. that depends on whether we can see the confirmation of kash patel or anyone else. >> true. perry, this is not kash patel's first go around for being considered for a position. trump floated the idea of making him the deputy director of the cia or fbi. bill barr, trump's then attorney general wrote, mr. patel would become deputy director over my dead body. >> look, right now, what we have seen from trump's nominations so far, i mean, gaetz, that imploded. he is appointing his -- who he views as his biggest and best loyalists. we are seeing that -- how people

are reacting to that. you just showed clips from the sunday morning shows. it seems like republicans in the senate are saying okay. let's go for it. in the first term, you are right, there was a lot of resistance and pushback to getting people like kash patel to run these big agencies or to have big leadership positions in them. >> let's all listen to kash patel. this is on the sean ryan show podcast earlier this year. sharing his thoughts on the fbi and being called a loyalist. dan, the question will come to you afterwards. >> the media is distorting it. trump is going to install loyalists. what does that mean? if the guy gives me a lawful chain of command, you want me to not execute? we need to decrease government creep with personnel. the fbi's footprint has gotten

so big. the biggest problem the fbi had has come out of its intel shelves. i would break that out of it. i would shut down the hoover building on day one and reopen the next day as a museum of the deep state. i take the 7,000 employees and send them across america to chase down criminals. go be cops. you are cops. >> you have reported in the past about concerns within the intelligence community about donald trump's choice to fill roles. if confirmed, what sort of pushback could there be from within the intel community? i want to point out what susan del percio said on our show. she said listening to that clip that we just played made it sound like it was an endorsement of de-fund the fbi. >> what he is saying is radical and unprecedented. when he refers to the intelligence activities that the fbi conducts, of course, this is

very much linked up with trying to stop terrorist attacks. a lot is counterterrorism. it is trying to track down and ferret out potential spies inside the u.s. and inside even the u.s. government, try to prevent that from happening or tracking them down. this is completely unprs unprecedented. i think they're going to try to do their job. they see themselves as apolitical civil servants who serve the constitution and the commander in chief. they will do -- they will carry out the mission as they are asked to. but i think we will -- if he carries out what he is threatening to do, mr. patel and president-elect trump, then we could be in unprecedented territory where people in the intelligence community or in the fbi will be asked do things that are potentially illegal or unethical or very much a gray area and breaking norms.

then we will see if some people resign, how they resign, whether they whistle-blowers emerge where that is taken up by democrats in congress. we are in for a very big test of our system. >> 100%, beyond what you have described there, barbara, this question to you, because patel wrote a book "government gangsters." it includes a list of deep state officials to target, which trump called a blueprint to help us take back the white house and remove these gangsters from all of government. according to promotional material for the book, if confirmed, what would removing these government officials look like? >> well, one of the things that kash patel said is that he would go after these rivals of donald trump either criminally or civilly, whatever it would take. he talked about going after not just government officials but also officials in the media. it's not so easy to remove people in the government, especially if they haven't done

anything wrong. i have yet to see any evidence to suggest that any of the investigations that involved donald trump were based on anything other than fact or law. so it can be very difficult to remove people who have civil service protections in the absence of evidence that they have done something wrong. he can make their lives very unpleasant. he can demote them to positions that are less than desirable. he can make life unpleasant for them. he can ostracize them, strip them of their national security clearances. there are a number of things he could do to drive out good people if he were allowed to be there. one thing to remember, there are 35,000 employees who work for the fbi. some are agents, some are intelligence analysts, some are language specialists. all of these people are there to serve the american people in a way that's apolitical. this idea that they are part of the deep state with a mrit. >> kyle: -- political agenda is

false. >> the doj is meant to operate independently from the executive branch. what would it mean to have someone like patel who professes such loyalty to donald trump be director of the fbi? >> it's a great question. there's lots of theories. i think you see conservatives -- mainstream conservatives saying, we do not believe these watergate reforms. we think they went too far. there should be less independence between the two. the attorney general should be like a typical cabinet appointment not like it is. then there are people like -- that you have been hearing kash patel or some of the other trump people that are speaking -- loyalists of trump who are speaking -- allies of him on tv saying -- suggesting there wouldn't be independence in criminal investigations. we don't know what it could look

like. we know what they have said. we don't know what safeguards would work or what wouldn't. there is a fear among people i have spoken to at the justice department that the white house could interfere, they could try to go after people, meaning look at people whether there isn't what we would consider the standard evidence to even begin an investigation, or they will take an investigation too far and prosecute without the right evidence. we don't know what it would look like. >> yeah. that's a stunning statement right there. there's more to come. i want to thank you for joining us. coming up, it's a law even for those who lived there for years. the situation in buffalo is what i'm talking about when we return. i'm talking about when we return ♪♪ ♪♪ over 600,000 usps employees working in sync

new developments in the arctic blast that continues to unleash snow, frost and dangerously cold winds across the u.s. 6 million people are under winter weather alerts in wisconsin, michigan, ohio, pennsylvania and here in new york. in erie, pennsylvania, the national weather service has recorded 30 inches of snow with more on the way. george solis is in new york. you have seen people coming out to help, right? or dig themselves or their seats in the stadium out from all the

snow. how are things looking right now? >> reporter: yeah. the lake affect snow showing no signs of slowing down. a lot of the hope is that this will hopefully stop by game time. that frigid air here to stick around. we talked to fans who have been digging out of the seats, out of the tailgates. they are ready for tonight's game. they believe they have home field advantage given buffalo is used to playing in conditions like this. we taught up with some of the tailgaters who are ready for tonight's action. a cold night. listen to what they told me. >> trying to get everything shoveled out. just get ready. there will be a lot of people that show up. come out to tailgate. i think the bills will win due to weather conditions. san francisco not used to this. >> reporter: yeah. credit where credit is do. some of the crews here and on the road, clearing out.

plows having a difficult time clearing some of the roadways, especially along the new york/pennsylvania border where the storm has taken ahold. the conditions expecting to deteriorate a little bit. hopefully, things looking good for tonight. >> here i thought you were going to say i'm going to give credit where credit is do you because i called it the bills will win. the 49ers with the weather, they're not going to know how to play in this. that's what your interviewee said. that's fine. we will move on. thanks, george. try to stay warm. let's go to marquis francis who has an eye on people make thirg make -- they are going home. >> reporter: with all this football talk, it's fitting we are outside of the vince lombardi rest stop, a famed coach. we have been here since early morning, about 10:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m. things have picked up.

the parking lot is full of cars. people are inside waiting in long lines to get food, of course, for gas. i spoke to people who have traveled up and down the east coast to travel for this holiday. i spoke to a woman who traveled from maine to the dmv. for those of you who have just set out, watching while you were traveling, get out soon. good luck and safe travels. i would say, this is probably the worst time to travel right now. aaa says from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. is the worst time to travel for the day. alternatively, the best time is tomorrow before 8:00 a.m. or after 7:00 p.m. i talked to some travellers about their strategy. listen to what they had to say. >> left early. it's just biting the bullet. you will hit traffic on the holiday weekend traveling.

left early. tried to get in as soon as i could. knew i was going to hit terrific. >> there was a strategy. we left at 7:00 coming to delaware. then we got on the road this morning at 8:30. >> i left at 4:30 to avoid the traffic. i did well until i got to new york. >> reporter: i feel like the one takeaway is either leave really early or really late to beat the traffic. >> i think that's good advice. thank you so much. coming up next, a moment from the sunday talk shows that might leave you saying, did i really just hear that?

singer: this is our night! shingles doesn't care. but shingrix protects! only shingrix is proven over 90% effective. shingrix is a vaccine used to prevent shingles in adults 50 years and older. shingrix doesn't protect everyone and isn't for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients or to a previous dose. tell your healthcare provider if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. increased risk of guillain-barré syndrome was observed after getting shingrix. fainting can happen so take precautions. most common side effects are pain, redness, and swelling where injected, muscle pain, tiredness,

headache, shivering, fever, and upset stomach. ask your doctor about shingrix today. kash patel has more experience than just about anybody coming into this position. he has a well-rounded background. i look forward to supporting him and pushing this nomination across the finish line. >> christopher wray is a republican, but apparently he demonstrated too much independence and objectivity in the job for donald trump who wants more of a personal loyalist in the position. that's why he has gone to kash patel. >> mixed reactions on capitol hill today, less than 24 hours after donald trump announced kash patel as his pick for the fbi director. patel served in the first trump administration is the latest in a string of controversial

cabinet and high-level position picks seeking confirmation in the senate. join me now is the host of the fast politics podcast and senior congressional reporter for punch bowl news. melanie, as a congressional reporter, would you say what we just heard from senator blackburn and congressman raskin is the consensus on capitol hill? i'm curious what you are hearing. >> i would say it's a mixed reaction. there are going to be some republicans who say that kash patel is needed to disrupt, which is what donald trump campaigned on. there's going to be plenty of republicans who say that we have an fbi director, that's christopher wray. he is supposed to serve out a ten-year term. the reason for that is to try to insulate these picks from the turnover of administrations from the political pressures of a new president coming in. i think there's going to be some

very deep reluctance among some of the republicans in the senate to even consider someone like kash patel, who is very controversial. he has had extreme views about purging the fbi. he peddles d conspiracy theori. he is a trump loyalist. that's a qualification when he made this pick. this is a norm-busting pick. i would put this up there with matt gaetz who was initially the attorney general pick and withdrew. this is going to be an uphill battle for confirmation. >> to that point, molly, there have been names thrown away as potential picks. are you surprised patel is the final choice? >> i mean, i think a lot of people are a little bit surprised about that pick. again, with what we saw with the matt gaetz pick is that when it was reported and when they got the pushback, he ended up dropping out.

they subbed in pam bondi who at least has a precedent for this. none of this is a fait accompli. these republican senators can push back. they can say -- they can quietly say, you don't have the votes for this. remember, they told the trump -- incoming trump admin there were 20 to 30 senators who would vote against matt gaetz. i do think these republican senators have more power than they think. whether or not they will use it, we don't know. >> and yet, i want to play my colleague kristen welker on "meet the press" talking with a senator about trump's pick for director of national intelligence, tulsi gabbard, meetings she had with al assad. >> i'm not familiar with the meetings she's had. i don't have to agree with every point of every one of president trump's nominees.

i'm here to support them. my understanding is they took place in the past. >> do they concern you, senator? do they concern you at all? >> i could be concerned about it. i can understand it. i may gree with it. i don't have to vote against or for a given candidate. >> quickly, what do you think? do you think a lot of these republican senators are going go along with whoever trump wants even if he had see red flags? and then you, molly. >> i don't think all are a rubber stamp. most of them. there's a couple that we are looking at, susan collins, lisa murkowski, mitch mcconnell. he is a free agent. he is going to be one to watch. >> quick to you, molly. >> i don't sleep on langford. and also utah has a new senator coming in. there are opportunities here for

them to take a stand and do the right thing. >> we will have an opportunity to talk to both of you again. thanso much. good to see you. we will be right back. shields tl to defend against erosion and cavities. i think that this product is a game changer for my patients. it really works.
