of interpretations about how they were -- joe: for more, let's bring in morgan harper, american economic americans -- economic liberties project partner. how would you characterize prop 22 and how it fits into the existing law? morgan: thank you for having me. prop 22 is an attempt by these companies, where their business model relies on not giving workers protections, gig workers. what they are trying to do is evade the strong protections that the california state legislature came out with that would force them to classify these workers as actual employees and therefore entitled to benefits. it does not make it any easier for voters to understand what is going on when these companies million and $200 also pressuring their own drivers. -- done: do you think they survive this boat or change on the back of this vote whichever way it falls? morgan: i think the businesses will have to adjust because they will have to treat their drivers -- whether or not they want to consider themselves just as tech companies, they are relying on labor to complete deliveries and rides. so, yes, they will be able to f

american adventure is an unusual one for a course of economics. while the american way of life is rather unusual, there is nothing quite like it in all of the world. all of us want to know more about our country but -- what , why is it the best place on earth? why is it worth understanding, why is it worth saving? why have wars been fought to protect it? during the 13 weeks of this course in the american adventure, our general purpose will be to answer many questions about the american way of life, and explore the workings of the american economic and political system so that we may understand its significant and important. -- importance. why should we bother to do this? in one generation, many of the nations of the world have become either socialist or communist, and advocates of both of these economic and political systems have determined to gain control of our country. let's look at this map of the world. it has two and one quarter billion people who work and worship under all kinds of economic and political systems, from dictatorship to democracy, from collectivism to individualism. now, let's see how socialism and communism have expended since the end of the first world or. -- world war. these dark areas are the nations that today live under communism or have adopted a considerable degree of socialism. some of them are overrun and captured by russian communism. some have drifted

economic insecurity and lack of well-being continued to plague african-american communities. so in addition to assessing the movement's success on questions of economic justice, scholars like dr. winford are rethinking the roles of african-american business leaders. traditional narratives often judge the business elite as inherently resistant to social change. they say they capitulated to white power structures and capitulated because of their dependence on african-american consumers. dr. winford complicates this one-dimensional assessment, revealing the complex engagement with the u.s. political economy among elite african-american business leaders and elite institutions like african-american banks. his work explodes the simplistic binaries of accommodation, protests, civil rights and black power. dr. winford offers a meticulously detailed, thoroughly researched book laced insights intoy the treacherous racial, class and economic terrain african-americans like wheeler navigated in the long civil rights struggle. dr. winford's work reveals how african-american elites thought greater inclusion not just in u.s. society, but all the economy. dr. winford and i have spent more than a decade working on remarkable black business leader

strategies that would help him work toward his larger goals of economic rights for african americans. so, citizenship for african americans as a pathway to black economic power. ultimately, that was important for this idea of new south prosperity. right? so i will save some of that for the constitution and answer period. -- the question and answer period. one of the things i'm dealing more with in transitioning from john wheeler as a banker, i'm coming more interested in the questions about how do we consider and think about black business and black banks and bankers on their own terms. we often talk about it in terms of their limitations and with they could not do for the african american community because of the limits of access to the larger marketplace. but i'm interested in looking at them on terms. i'm interested in customers. interested employees. i'm interested in the community -- what happens with communities inside the bank? when you engage this site of economic life for african americans. so part of that ongoing conversation deals with that. so in my comments right there, because i know we're running short on t

the treacherous racial class and economic terrain african-americans navigated in the long civil rights struggle. the biography reveals the multiple ways african-american elites argued for the critical role of economic justice in the fight for greater inclusion and not just u.s. society, but also into the economy. so both dr. winford and i have spent more than a decade working on remarkable black business leaders, passionate, committed social activists and complicated human beings. so for me, it's magalina walker and he, of course, wheeler. and we understand the necessity of not becoming enamored of our subjects, but neither of us can deny the extraordinariness of the people who have ignited our imaginations and animated our scholarship. and i cannot miss this opportunity in my last couple of minutes to share with the round table and with those watching something about the extraordinariness of my scholar brother brandon. brandon is a professional. anyone knows him. in late 2014 when i was looking for contributes on a special issue for the journal of african-american history, a colleague told me about brandon. but she really reminded me about brandon. b

economic team. janet yellen, herself, has tweeted about restoring the american dream for all of americans. but she is walking into this position in a very challenging environment. the u.s. economic outlook right now is not strong. we know that over 12000000, americans are still unemployed, and many of them are set to lose their unemployment benefits at the end of the year . because the 1st stimulus package has run out and there's been no agreement on a 2nd stimulus package, that's something that janet yellen will have to deal with. we're also seeing job growth slowing here in the united states. it picked up over the summer businesses were reopening. now there's this 2nd surge in some places, it's the 1st surge, but this increasing numbers of covert infections around the country that are again hampering the economic recovery here and throw into the mix that we have a divided congress in the united states. janet yellen is no stranger to challenging economic situations. she served under president obama in 2008 after the financial crisis then, and helped lead the united states out of that crisi

americans say yes. so this was one of the ways we try to get at the extent of our economic fears, or americans economic fears, and they're isolationism. there are, in the depths of this depression where 25% of americans are out of work, so much of what is going on in the united states in the mid 1930s. 's about economic recovery. i think that prevents americans from looking abroad as much as they might have. fdr's first term, 1933 to 1937, is so much about trying to lift the country out of the depression through the new deal and foreign policy concerns are not the priority at that point. there are a few moments where americans to pay attention, and even debate a proper response to nazi germany. one of those moments is the question of whether they should go to the olympic games. whether we should send a team to the olympic games in berlin in the summer of 1936. americans debate this for a couple of months throughout 1935. you see this public opinion poll in 1935. it's worded a little confusingly. should america refused to participate in the olympic games, which are to be held in germany this coming year? we reproduce these polls exactly as they were asked at the time. here you see, 43% of americans sa

economic policies. instead, it has raised the cost of goods that americans pay, costing the american household $900erageost $700 to more per year. at the same time by making american goods more expensive with the retaliatory tariffs china has imposed, our allies, companies in france or germany or canada are able to sell their products to china at a comparative cheaper price. andwhile our allies businesses and governments of our allied countries share our concerns about china's trade and economic policies, they are benefiting while american companies and american consumers are suffering. that is the wrong type of trade strategy. we need to unify trade strategy. don't think that biden, excuse me, i do not think the trump presidency has really way of us much by improvement in u.s.-china relations or certainly not in attacking and addressing some of the fundamental problems and concerns that americans have about china's policies. shery: and one of those as well be attacked -- attacks on china because of the pandemic. what do you see united states the response to the pandemic has been other than the china ba

american jobs and american workers first. [cheers and applause] and on energy. so important to pennsylvania, jobs in this state, our economic vitality. joe biden and kamala harris want to crush americanunder a $2 trillion version of the green new deal. it would raise the cost of electricity for every home and every business in america. last year joe biden told a group of coal miners that they should learn to code if he became president. president donald trump, we have stood for an all-of-the-above energy strategy. the war on coal is over. [indiscernible] [cheers and applause] first time in 70 years. the joe biden-kamala harris, they might be saying something different these days. but the truth is, both of them spent most of the last year talking about how they want to ban fracking and abolish fossil fuels. banning fracking would destroy hundreds of thousands of jobs in pennsylvania alone. they said they were going to do it over and over and over again until he showed up in pittsburgh a few weeks back. said the president wasn't telling the truth. literally, he said our president was lying. about his record. then in a presidential debate a little while back, and how good does president

on trade, or a proven job creator who is driving the greatest economic recovery in american history? you tell them, for this great americank we need four more years of president donald trump in the white house. [applause] [chanting four more years] so, it is about prosperity. i think our economic recovery is on the ballot, i really do. but, of course, security is the foundation of our prosperity. and, it all starts with national defense. and here in north carolina, home of fort bragg. i do not think i need to tell all the patriotic people gathered here today that, under the last administration you saw budget cuts that impacted our readiness, it is true. when we took office i heard there was about one third of the aircraft in our air force kept on the ground to be used as spare parts to keep other aircraft in the air. democrats in washington are talking this week about massive cuts in defense spending to fund their big government programs.

american people that these are crises that require american leadership. especially when it requires some sort of economic or military commitment from the united states and countries working together, nations working together on what is what is going to be thinking as he looks on and sees all these events unfolding in the us at this point in time. biden is not a good message for flubbing to put in because donald trump was weak for reasons we don't totally know, made him was a terrific person. for example, there's these kind slogans. so it will be for putin. but generally, i would say as the conflicts you mentioned, i mean, the biden is a good president. we don't make that judgment whether there will be war in syria in 5 years in libya or not even more important question is, will the west, the old west come together again and have a common interest in a common policy climate change maybe also iran, that's already is a 2nd from, from my point of view, it is important, but most important things is unite domestically the american population and unites the west in a partnership. not in the american leadership. you're very right about that. stacey and climate change is a good openoffice, a conversation, for example, of those germans. but then more has to come and we have to agree on a common approach to china to climate change and trade. ok, jamie, you have for you have spent a lot of time in your life studying great power competition between the u.s. on one hand and russia, and china on the other. how should joe biden stand up to vladimir putin, xi jinping? i think in both cases, honestly, despite the rhetoric you often heard from president trump, his administration actually laid up a path that joe biden can follow. both with russia. where the u.s. reassured our central european allies deploying to help defend them from russian aggression. and on china laying out a strategy about how to deal with china's use of technology against the west and its efforts to infiltrate or to i think joe biden, i just want to pur

americans and asian americans because of the economic opportunity and the things that this party stands for. so, i'm sick and tired of people calling republicans racist and dividing our country. you are making our country more divided. we are reaching tout every american and president trump's policies showed that it lifted the boats for every single american with record low unemployment now you are seeing, you know, historic games and jobs coming back in the stock market. this is a president who put good policies in place for everyone. >> martha: just going back to the livonia example, right? you know, wherever there is a discrepancy, it seems to me that what we need so give people confidence in voting again is for both sides, whether you win or lose, to press for these things to be re protect find re. i wonder if president trump won in michigan would you be so concerned about the certification there or would you be saying look let's go back and make sure that we get this right? i mean, i think everybody knows the answer to that. but that's what it is going to take to actually fix some of these problems. >> well, you know, martha. i sat at a recount table in detroit in 2016 for a candidate who got less than 1% of the vote here and got a statewide reco

americans. >> we're going to aaddress systemic racism and build real economic opportunity. >> to every black american, i'm asking you to go out and vote. todd: president trump calling out joe biden for his political history with black americanser vp and kamala harris made their own pitch for the black vote. so where does the enthusiasm lie? jillian: former nfl player and ceo of the brewer group, jack brewer joins us now. it's good to see you this morning. thanks for being here. >> great to be back. jillian: let's take a look at some of the polls here and get your opinion on this. the question is, if the election for president was today, would you vote for and as you can see in georgia 90% overwhelming majority of black and african-american voters said they would vote for joe biden, opposed to the 7% for president trump. the same poll in pennsylvania, let's take a look at that. as you can see, 71% say they would vote for joe biden with 19% for president trump. what do you make of those numbers? >> well, you know, i think those numbers are a little bit off, particularly the georgia numbers. i think president trump actually with male voters, black male voters will be near 15 to 20% of the vote. in pennsylvania, i'm expecting up

american dream. we are going to address systemic racism and build real economic opportunity. the blinders have been taken off . the american people have seen how bad things are. buy at easier to business, to pursue an education after high school, to invest in hbcus, which do so much to mold black leaders of tomorrow, this is not just talk, i mean it. we will acted to deliver racial justice in america. i see in all the protests here in philadelphia and across the country, a cry for justice. protesting is not burning or looting and violence must never be tolerated, but the names of george floyd, jacob blake, breonna taylor, walter wallace junior will not soon be forgotten. they will not be forgotten by me. they will not be forgotten by you and they will not be forgotten by the americanple because here's what they are going to do -- they are inspiring and new wave of justice in america. george floyd's little girl said to me -- i knelt down to say hi to her and she said "daddy is going to change the world." that is what she said to me, six years old. we can change the world, we can change it. we all know this country has to come together. we cannot afford for more years of anger, hate and division we have seen under this president. from the day he announced, from the moment he came down that escalator, what did he say in new york? go out and geto those rapist mexicans." he played ban on all muslims coming into the united states -- placed a ban on all muslims coming into the united states. we have got to come together. i am running as a proud democrat, but i will govern as an american president for everybody. i will work as hard for those who do not support me as those who do support me. i'm unit. that is the job of a president -- i mean it. that is the job of a presid

american institute for economic research jeffrey albert does believe that biden wins half of americans won't consider him the president my read of the situation on the ground is that. probably for more of republicans think this whole entire voting apparatus is rigged if biden ekes out this little this time in victory with a couple of states the swing swing states where there are some suspicious ballots biden comes becomes president with with almost you know with very little the gentleman say and certainly no serious consensus so there will be no mandate for biden and this will last for 4 years which is very interesting situation politically for for the united states especially since the democrats failed to turn up for that for the house the house they lost apparently 5 seats and the 7 senate is complete control the g.o.p. not to mention that the supreme court is already a done deal so biden becomes a bit lame duck for 4 years where. the american public will consider him to be a fake president i don't think that a lot of the people that are dedicated to trumpet have worked so hard for his reelection including the you know hundreds of thousands of moves people have turned out to israel as of last month are ready to let this go and so there is can be a lot of screaming and gnashing of teeth over the next. $30.00 to $60.00 days all leading up to the to the end of the year absolutely so. just say magic words that everybody recognize me as president let's go back to our normal lives be peaceful i don't think there's any chance that. well in both $22016.00 the losers actually won the popular vote and that is down to the country's electoral college system. my colleague saskia taylor spoke with representatives from america's 3rd parties that have a tear in the greens on whether the current 2 party domination actually gives americans any real alternatives. the one percent that libertarians get. does play a significant role i don't know

americans, those with pre-existing conditions. we will address the health and economic disparity that means that this virus is hitting the pacific islanders, black, native american communities harder. the bottom line -- i will spare no effort to turn this pandemic around once we are sworn in. to get our kinds back to back to school safely, -- and we will follow the science. we will follow the science. let me say that again. we will adjust to new data when it comes in and we will listen and work with governors and local leaders in both parties who are fighting this virus in their communities to this very day. there is so much good work happening at state and local levels across the country -- governors, mayors, they are stepping up. the advisory board will listen and learn lessons from their experience. and because we know that we won't fully defeat covid-19 until we have defeated it everywhere, my advisory council also includes experts on global health security, so that we can restore u.s. global leadership and fight this pandemic. this is a crisis that affects everyone. as i have said throughout this campaign, i will be a president for every american. this election is over. it is time to put aside the partisanship and the rhetoric that is designed to demonize one another. it's time to end the politicization of basic, responsible public health steps like mask wearing and social distancing. we have to come together to heal the soul of this country so we can effectively address this crisis as one country, where hard-working americans have each other's backs. we are united in our shared goal -- defeating this virus. as we work toward a safe and effective vaccine, we know the single most effective thing we can do is wear a mask. for the foreseeable future, a mask remains the most weapon against the virus. today's news does not change that reality. i won't be president until january 20, but my message today is for everyone, it does not matter who you voted for, where you stood before election day. it does not matter your party, point of view. we could save tens of thousands of lives if everyone would just wear a mask for the next few mo

americans and those with pre-existing conditions. we are going to address health and economic disparities that mean this is hitting black, latino, pacific islanders, native american communities harder than white communities. that is one of our priorities. the bottom line -- i will spare no effort to turn this pandemic around once we are sworn in on january 20. to get our kids back to school safely, our business is growing, and our economy running at full speed again, and to get an improved -- approved vaccine manufactured and distribute it as quickly as possible to as many americans as possible, free of charge. we will follow the science. we will follow the science. let me say that again. we will adjust to new data when it comes him, and we will listen and work in cooperation with governors and local leaders in both parties who are fighting this virus in their communities this very day. there is so much good work happening at state and local levels across the country -- governors, mayors. they are stepping up. the advisory board will listen and learn lessons from their experience. because we know that we won't fully defeat covid-19 until we have defeated it everywhere, my advisory council also includes experts on global health security, so they can restore u.s. global leadership and fight this pandemic. this is a crisis that affects everyone. as i have said throughout this campaign, i will be a president for every american. this election is over. it is time to put aside the partisanship and the rhetoric that is designed to demonize one another. it's time to end t

american families for decades, as china's situation got better and better. so, how long will it be until americans start realizing that economic populism, the 21st century, is the most sustainable model for our country's success? clearly, 73-74000000 americanset it. you might not like trump's tweets or sometimes his tone, but you are sure as hell going to miss his american's first and resolve. joining me now is victor davis hanson, hoover a hoover institution senior fellow. does any of what you just heard surprise you? >> a little bit, because when rahm emanuel tried to call years ago, he said "never let a serious crisis go to waste," he was an embarrassment and was saying there was no public support for these crazy ideas, clash for clunkers, socialized medicine, they had to push it on people under the guise of a crisis. everyone thought, that's deplorable to say that. everyone from justin trudeau in canada to gavin newsom in california, hillary clinton, michael bloomberg, they are proud of it. take this crisis and pushed on your throat something that has no popular support. it had no popular support in the election -- that is why joe biden stayed in the basement. he did not camp eight on these issues. that is why kamala harris crashed in t

american dream for all americans. with the emphasis on the word all, but she will have her work cut out for her because the economic outlook in the united states right now is particularly grim. there are millions of americans out of work. job growth has slowed. it was starting to rebound a bit over the summer months. but given the resurgence of corona virus infections throughout the country and millions of americans do to lose their unemployment benefits by the end of the year. things are looking particularly graham. and unlike when janet yellen was the head of the federal reserve under president obama in 2008 during the financial crisis, she will be taking her position with a divided congress. in 2008, democrats swept both the house and the senate. democrats currently hold the house, they have a chance of picking up the senate and the special election in january. but even if they do, the majority, there will be very small. and this is a very divided time in the u.s. congress. right now, republicans and democrats have not seen eye to eye on the way forward with the stimulus bill, and that will be a very tough divide to bridge. and janet yellen will have to walk right into that. it's not going to be easy an

americans, economically and health—wise. americans, economically and health-wise. yes and it is getting to the point now where it isjust exploding. it is a scary place right now and i think if anyone in the white house could fix this and help us, it would be him. and take it seriously, you know? and do his job. america remains a divided nation and when you look at the numbers, that 70 million people didn't vote for donald trump, this is a nation that remains incredibly divided. yes, definitely divided, and we also need somebody who can bring us all together, that can help us bridge our differences and i cannot think of anyone better, honestly.” our differences and i cannot think of anyone better, honestly. i agree, completely agree. what about kamala harris, the first female... cheering and applause. foyle -- we are so excited. so many first, she is the first woman, the first african—americanto do was get to work straightaway and put together covid task force and that must be a relief for so many americans. yes, it is a huge relief that someone will be in charge who can dictate to the whole nation how to have a plan together instead of each state trying to figure it out. a new direction. sometimes we do need a plan. hovering over all of this is a president who is not willing to concede. no. it is all about himself. and people are dying. you need to take that seriously. and money isn't the issue. human life is far more. character and integrity is more important than money. thank you for joining more important than money. thank you forjoining us. so, lots ofjoy here and a lot of people talking about the sense of relief and most of the people i have spoken to say that they can finally breathe, we do not have to worry about the next weight, but of course i was just in pennsylvania where there were a lot of pro trumpet supporters who were incredibly disappointed as the day went

we are going to address the health and economic disparities that mean this virus is hitting the black, latino, asian american, pacific islanders and native american communities harder than white communities. folks in these communities is one of our priorities. not an after-thought. >> reporter: in that national address, president-elect biden reached out to those who may not have voted for him, explaining that put the differences aside and come together to really fight the virus. he also emphasized and re-emphasized the importance of wearing masks until we have the distribution of that vaccine. cierra johnson, for nbc bay area news. >>> to covid-19 local front. let's head to santa clara county where they are giving us an update on numbers this within the doctor. you see dr. sarah coty there. let's listen in. >> so this is right off of our website which you can all see, but i wanted to make a couple of comments. first of all, i wanted to note that wree had this big surge in july. it didn't take long to go from very low levels right up to that surge. we then took action here and across the state and our case counts came down, although you can see it

economic issues facing the americans? there are millions and millions of americans, as you know, senator, who are unemployed? >> wolf, my hope is during this lame duck period we will be able to come together and pass a covid relief package, but if president-elect biden becomes the president early next year, and we've done nothing more to provide relief, then we are likely to both have a significant challenge with the pandemic currently raging out of control and with an economy that continues to head south. i expect fully developed robust plans and advisory committees, good choices for leadership from the transition team and the president-elect but, frankly, outgoing president trump has a choice here to make in the next 72 days, whether to help the american people, help make this transition work or whether to dig in and fight and simply hurt the very people who voted for him by 70 million or so rather than graciously accepting defeat. >> can we except, senator coons, you're really plugged in over there. can we expect the president-elect start naming his west wing staff as early as this week? >> wolf, i can't

americans are facing health and economic crises as the coronavirus pandemic surges. more than 90,000 americans are waking up on this thanksgiving in the hospital. the u.s. is breaking hospitalization records for the 16th consecutive day. more than 262,000 americans have died, which leaves so many families with the agony of an empty seat at the table today. also, 50 million americans are food insecure. president-elect biden wants all americans to come together, he says, to defeat the virus. >> i know we can and we will beat this virus. america's not going to lose this war. we'll get our lives back. life is going to return to normal, i promise you. this will happen. this will not last forever. >>> we're also following breaking news from overnight. a divided u.s. supreme court siding with religious groups who sued new york governor andrew cuomo over his coronavirus restrictions. cuomo tried to limit the number of people who could attend religious services, but the justices found that violated the constitution. that 5-4 decision, also highlighting the impact of the newest member of the court, justice amy coney barrett. >>> we'll get to all of that, but first joining us, dr. carlos del rio. he is the executive associate dean of emory university schoo

american people that these are crises that require american leadership. especially when it requires some sort of economic or military commitment from the united states and countries working together, nations working together, what is what is going to be thinking as he looks on and sees all these events unfolding in the us at this point in time, i didn't is not a good message for the reporting because donald trump was weak for reasons we don't totally know, made him was a terrific person. for example, there's these kind slogans. so it will be for putin. but generally, i would say as the conflicts you mentioned, i mean, the biden is a good president. we don't make that judgment whether there will be war in syria in 5 years in libya or not even more important question is, will the west, the old west come together again and have a common interest and a common policy. these of each of these, of a climate change maybe also iran, that's already is a 2nd from, from my point of view. it is important, but most important things is unite domestically the american population and unites the west in a partnership. not in the american leadership. you're very right about that. stacey and climate change is a good openness was a conversation, for example, for the germans. more has to come and we have to agree on a common approach to china, to climate change and to a trait. ok, jamie, you have for you have spent a lot of time in your life studying great power competition between the u.s. on one hand and russia, and china on the other. how should joe biden stand up to vladimir putin, xi jinping? i think in both cases, honestly, despite the rhetoric you often heard from president trump, his administration actually laid up path that joe biden can follow both with russia . where the u.s. reassured our central european allies deploying to help defend them from russian aggression. and on china, laying out a strategy about how to deal with china's use of technology against the west and its efforts to infiltrate or to i think joe biden just want to pursue a d
