>> absolutely, he sees the progressive wing, alexandria ocasio-cortez's and she has more followers ondia and more attention for a a freshman senator or house member then you oversee, she's not anymore, shall be entering her second term but the point is, that is not how she wants the party to be defining, it happens that we were all the stuff goes through i don't think a running 24 he's a one term president but he knows the party will be toast in the midterms and absolutely in the next election breaking of a donald trump running for a second term, it is perfectly allowed but i don't know who joe biden is exactly he's been around for 47 years but even after the campaign, no coherent message or bumper sticker to walk away from outside of donald trump is bad, but for me i'm a good guy he seems to do things for applicable expediency at this point, we got a preview of abiding presidency today, he made some remarks and then afterwards about the coronavirus task force, does not take any veestions from the press whatsoever. donald trump was a most successful president we've ever seen in taking

what is your reaction to alexandria ocasio-cortez?s a leading member of the democratic socialists of america. she is trying to claim socialism is just a republicanner. >> and is largely -- a republican smear and a slogan. >> it is the "californication" of the country if you will. i think alexandria ocasio-cortez is correct, that the biden owes the far left his election and, i think that they are going to do everything they can to collect on that debt. i'm not entirely sure he would be adverse to it. during the campaign don't forget he said he would put beto o'rourke in charge of gun policy, okays ocasio-cortez in charge of energy and ezekiel emanuel calling for stringent lockdown of the country, calling for economic consequences for every family. elizabeth: let's move back to this. i hear what you're saying about that. we also, we're checking the rhetoric, right? we want to keep it honest and keep it real. we have democrat representative ilhan omar from minnesota, she called to completely dismantle the minneapolis police department. s

this seriously, but it was striking that alexandria ocasio-cortez, she is a sitting member of congress, she tweeted that the names of quote, quote, trump sycophants should be archived for future reference. she is tweeting, you know, we need to know their names for the future. it sounds like they foresee some kind of a revenge enacted via incoming biden administration. we see, we'll of seen a group calling itself, the quote, trump accountability project springing up, saying remember what they did. the website declares we should not allow these groups of people to basically profit from you know their backing of trump. they're taking names and it sounds like they're trying to enact revenge. i mean as biden is saying we need unity. your take on all of that, david, final word? >> well first of all it is a farce, emac that biden should be calling for unity. he didn't call for his supporters and staffers to stop helping raise money for the

. >> i was at that demonstration with congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez and that bit you played is exactly the posturing that they have right now. they're sort of saying, look, joe biden, we showed up and voted for you, organized for you, now we want you to keep the promises you made not just on the campaign trail, whether it was on climate change or otherwise, working hand in glove with the biden folks, the progressive world in a way that they just weren't in the 2016 election, and so there's of course an urgency that they want to see from president-elect joe biden and from vice president-elect kamala harris to actually deliver on these things. when i asked congresswoman ocasio-cortez, what is one of the things you need to see from president-elect, it's not going to be one person or two people he might elect to the cabinet, it's the tenor and background of the people appointing to different positions, whether it's hhs or department of transportation, these things that progressive activists and

on one side and alexandria ocasio-cortez on the other. how does that feel? sen.anchin: first of all, the president himself came six times. the president came six times campaigning against me came six times campaigning against me. afterwards, i said, i was not running against my opponent, and running against you. and the people of west virginia say we want our senator, not your senator, mr. president. it has been tough. and now to have that, when you say the soul of the democratic party, i truly believe the soul has been silent. it has been silent. sometimes silence has been deafening. that's what i believe has happened. but people such as aoc, they are aspirational, that's fine. they have ideas and they want to express it. that's not who we are as a democratic party that i know. i can only speak for myself and the people i know within the caucus. but we should have denounced immediately when we said defund. we are not defunding the police, we are going to express more -- spend more and train more. it was not spoken by leadership. for whatever reason, they were si

that's a slam on pelosi and alexandria ocasio-cortez.gainst pelosi. >> this is where pelosi doesn't have any turning radius. it's about the math. if they are down to 222 seats, you need 218 votes to win the speakership on the house floor. she can't afford to lose too many. she lost 15 but there is nobody challenging nancy pelosi. tim ryan challenged her in 2016 and lost badly. >> there seems to be a civil war brewing in the democratic party. chad, you will keep us all informed. new york congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez defending calls to cut funding for police even as democrats say the issue might have cost them house seats. minneapolis bringing in outside help to fight crime months after some on the city council voted to end the police department. the police chief james craig joins us next. ment plan with voa gives us confidence... ...we can spend a bit now, knowing we're prepared for the future. surprise! we renovated the guest room, so you can live with us. i'm good at my condo. well planned, well invested, well protected. voya.

in some of my friendships like alexandria cortez and katie hill.ause i think at times, you need to listen to one another. and to acknowledge their maybe anything to disagree on but if there are some things you can agree on, then you want to put those at the front of the list. host: i want to ask you about katie and alexandria, you cover both of them in your book really well. are you a natural born politician . know your dad, he was a politician. are you a natural born politician. you can figure out how to achieve celebrity status in the social media age. or maybe it is the reverse. your natural born, like ronald ragan, like a great actor just figure out how to work make it work in politics . matt: well i started in the state legislature. i write about being a 26 -year-old who thought they could contribute to a new generation of republican leadership in the state of florida. that is serving a number of capacities there so i think that my first passion is policy. in ensuring that we actually put the policies in place that can lift up all americans. a

that brings me to the point of alexandria ocasio-cortez.e done a lot of ride-alongs in different television markets. a lot of the reporters do them. you understand the policing in your own communities. it makes your reporting more factual because you have relationships with police officers. so on and so forth. i wonder how much the congresswoman has done of that. "a," in her own district. has she feathered out across the nation to compare it when she says they are spending too much. you have a lot of people who live across the river from new jersey write am here. it takes a lot to get that done. at we saw at the start of all of the protests back in may after the death of george floyd, you know, it takes a lot to keep the peace. but at the same time the streets want justice. we understand that. by "streets" we mean peaceful protesters, the citizens. i don't know if that type of message as the democrats have told me. i know joe manchin. senator manchin on this issue. i don't think he is going to become a republican but i guess he could get pu

joining me is soon to be sophomore congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez. congratulations on being a sophomore. >> thank you so much. good to level up. >> congresswoman, how much does joe biden owe the progressive movement and progressive leaders for his victory? >> well, i think i believe that president-elect biden in his acceptance speech last night he acknowledge would the groups of latinos and others that played in his victory. we know majority are a progressive and make up the progressive base of the democratic party. i believe when we gin up the grassroots and we celebrate them to the election, we should also celebrate them in our governance. i think a fair amount for us. i think we owe everyday communities and i think we owe the poor, middle class, working class, black communities, communities of color, immigrant communities a great deal in seeing them and honoring them in our legislation. >> if you could take off your congresswoman hat for just one second, i want to ask you on a personal note, what does it mean to you as a woman of color to see a bl

and so the thing that alexandria ocasio cortez, myself and rashida while we ran our primaries because we were all challenged in the primary, is that during covid, you have to utilize digital strategy and an aggressive digital strategy to get your message out to your constituents. and that means also being part of the work that you do going forward. and i think what slot can is saying is something we've been saying. we understand that the democratic caucus is a bit big tent. we understand there are differences in constituents that we serve. our party is unique in that regard. we are not monolithic in the constituents that we have and the democratic stick constituents. but we also permit that says we are the party of the people so prioritizing the needs of people is something that we need to be unified whether it is talking about how to address social and economic interactions that people have for decades. or whether it is figuring out how to have a cohesive message that speaks to who we are as a caucus. what we are asking our counties to do is to continue to have that conversation beca

skyler henry in alexandria, virginia. thanks a lot, skyler. so as skyler mentioned, joe biden was declared the winner in dixville notch, new hampshire. small township among the first in the nation to reveal election results. the former vice president got all five votes. by tradition voters cast their ballots minutes after midnight. despite the attention this township gets, it does not always predict the eventual winner or even the state's pick. there was also midnight voting in mills field. mr. trump had 15 votes and mr. biden 5. hart's delayed their vote. >>> the judge yesterday said that those who oppose the drive throughs had no standing to bring a lawsuit. four republicans argued state election code in harris county does not allow drive through voting. they claim that it's the same as curbside voting, which is only allowed for people with disabilities. today only one drive through polling station will be open though. the plaintiffs plan to appeal. >>> and parts of the country are on edge. anxious about what will happen after election day.

this from elizabeth warren tweeting ron has earned trust across the entire democratic party and alexandriacasio-cortez gave klain a thumbs up martin luther king junior and called it an encouraging choice. andrew card knows a thing about difficult white house transitions. he was chief of staff to george w. bush when he took over in 2001 after the supreme court settled that election. it's good to see you on that day. you knew governor bush well when he became president-elect bush and president bush. ron klain has deep experience like that. he goes back to the clinton/gore administration and the bi obama/biden administration. how important is that personal bond? >> it's great to be with you. i think it's an excellent choice. ron, he'll know joe biden. and part of the job of a chief of staff is to pay attention to the president 24 hours a day 7 days a week. you never know when the president will have to make a difficult and challenging decision. it's best if you really understand the president so you know his mental and physical and emotional and spiritual health. i think ron will know that, b

dana, one congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez has either republican talking points and narratives,ty apart, it doesn't seem to be true when you have moderate democrats who almost lost their seats saying actually these policies are not reflective of most of america. >> dana: we got to listen to the conference call. that was not a republican conference call. that was the democratic conference call with a were at each other's throats. i did think that conor lamb, the congressman from pennsylvania who won a tight race, he threw some well-deserved shade to alexandria ocasio-cortez in which he said i respect her and how hard she works and what she did an extremely low turnout democratic primary. she has no idea what it's like to try to run elsewhere. to the point about defund the police in which mr. kleiman were saying i expect you will see this come up in the -- mr. clyburn. you will see in the georgia race. the opponent against kelly loeffler. i bet it's an issue that's going to come up. >> katie: biden siding with progressives, i want to play this sound bite from the deputy campaign m

that legislation can't be passed unless alexandria ocasio-cortez agrees with it. is that true?little fishy. what do you think? >> it is 100% true. you know "the squad" last congress was about four or five members. this next congress it will be about 14 or 15 members. that is well beyond pelosi's majority. she can't lose any of "the squad" passing the legislation. they will vote as a bloc, much like the house freedom caucus. only the house freed tom caucus stands for freedom and "the squad" stands for socialism. that is a big problem for pelosi. elizabeth: now we get it, "the squad" tripled in size after this election. now we understand why it's a threat, basically, biden needs the republican cover in the senate. he cannot be yanked hard left or the democrats will lose even more seats in the house in the midterms. so you know, that is the issue. now we have cause ocasio-cortez, gearing up the biden administration for green new deal, "medicare for all"? senator sanders could run the budget committee. will we see a 15-dollar federal minimum wage? what do you think? >> they are try

alexandria ocasio-cortez easily won this new york. the "new york times" quote the last two years have been hostile. we have been winning externally. there's been support. internally it's been extremely hostile no anything that smells progressive. i spoke with vermont is that right. about where a progressive agenda fits into a biden administration. >> if the question is do i believe that the progressive movement today deserves important places in the biden administration the answer is absolutely. we are an integral part of the democrat coalition. i'm not saying we're dominant. we are an important part that deserve representation. in the biden administration. >> maybe he's the guy to do this. maybe he can walk that very thin line. joining many now somebody who knows joe biden. he worked closely with him. the former hud secretary during the obama administration. he was a former 2020 democratic presidential candidate running against joe biden. secretary, you actually moved the needle on the immigration topic. you were the most advanced th

amy: that is congress member alexandria ocasio-cortez.e is your sister congressmember, ro khanna. if you can respond to this? this was an onslaught attack on the progressive wing, though the progressive wing which are very much a part of is pushing back. and he really determines what happens with the biden-here's the administration if the cabinet is chosen -- can you talk about this kasich, spanberger, clyburn attack on progressives as progressives say, no, we're the reason harris and biden won? >> let's start with some facts. showedt few exit polls overwhelmingly, medicare for all , governnt providehealth insurance, was popular with the american people. florida, the same state which lost any the presidential voted for $15 minimum wage. i was the come increase working wages is popular with america people. cleantech jobs, is piper the with the american people. free public colleges popular with the american people. so the policies that we are advocating are not just for deeply blue districts. their policies that will help people in the midw
