let's bring in better minds, david gregory and michael smerconish. good to see you. david, next step. >> well, what you've seen today is historic. that we've established. but it's so important because of the last point that you mentioned. if we can't rely on a peaceful transfer of power in this country, then our democracy is not strong. we can't forget that. it was president washington who established that when he shocked europeans by leaving office of his own free will. and stepped down voluntarily. that attack on our elections, that attack on the idea of a peaceful transfer of power is what is under siege now. and the fact that we're going to inaugurate a new president in this camp, this kind of armed camp that is washington, d.c., is beyond sad. but there's been a big dodge here, the importance of today, bipartisan, historic. but mitch mcconnell doesn't have to do something really hard. he can kick it down the road. and that is an enormous challenge for a new president, to have to look forward and backward, in the middle of a pandemic, at the same time. democrats

david gregory and michael smerconish join us right now. how do you look at the moment, david? >> well, i think it's a hopeful moment. you know? i think the country is starved for leadership, for compassion from our president, for a respect for the presidency. and there is an urgent need for action. on this pandemic, in the economy, the country is hurting and the country feels isolated. that's why i really liked the notes that president-elect biden sounded today and tonight and what he'll do tomorrow. to remind each other that we are connected to each other. i think about martin buober who wrote "i and thou" the idea is to be in an i and thou relationship is what happens to you matters to me and vice versa and a sense of community that we need in the country if we're going through something really hard. we're going through lots of things that are really hard including overcoming these trump years. so i think the moment is defined by the man. this incoming president. and kamala harris, the woman who will offer some hope and some direction because we need government and we need a

let's bring in david gregory and michael smerconish. you are on officer of the court there. your reckoning of senate holley is saying has to be done here because pennsylvanians never got a chance to review this. >> i think it's totally delied by the facts as you have already laid out. these issues were extensively litigated in the state court system and in the federal system. and i think most significantly where cast aside by judges, including one of the third circuit of pennsylvania, the appellate court just below the supreme court of the united states who was a donald j. trump appointee. so it makes for great sound bytes. and i said particular attention to where he said we're not talking about fraud. part of this continuing disconnect between what the president has said in social media, that which rudy giuliani has said in the court of public opinion but not which that has been litigated. it stunned me for the last two months. >> taihe has to know what smercd i are discussing. by all accounts, he is an intelligent man. the focus of stupidity here seems to be what he projec
