well tony bennett the ots had been able to identify this alleged attacker who was shot dead last evening but no details have been given out about his identity the police have been saying that given the current situation and given the fact that this is still an active incident providing details of that would not be. all the name of the indian minister of australia to say that this was a radicalized son who was an i.a.s. simplifies a sympathizer all of us will hold the islamic state. and the argument a residence was created by police teams but beyond that what they found at that residence and what led them to that presidents none of those details have been provided by for these now police been able to determine for sure whether there was one or more attackers it's been suggested that one or more assailants could still be on the lists. this is very much an active incident is the message that it's coming from authorities that's coming from vienna police it's coming from you know straining to you know minister. in the night we suspect it is at least one other attack on the run when this incid

let's begin our coverage with geoff bennett. what is the president hoping for in these final hours? >> reporter: lester, president trump's campaign is counting on a surge in election day turnout among his supporters to fuel the president's path to re-election. the campaign drawing confidence from the size of the crowds despite polling showing him behind president trump crisscrossing the country tonight to close out the 2020 campaign. >> north carolina, thank you very much. we win pennsylvania, we win the whole deal. you know that. >> reporter: by the end of the night the president will have logged nearly 2,500 miles with rallies in north carolina, pennsylvania, wisconsin and michigan battlegrounds he won in 2016 but where polls say the race is either tight or he's trailing part of the president's closing argument, a threat to fire dr. anthony fauci. >> don't tell anybody but let me wait until a little bit after the election. >> reporter: that was after fauci told "the washington post" about the pandemic, the biden campaign is taking it seriously from a public health perspective, whi

let's start off with nbc's geoff bennett. >> reporter: president-elect joe biden tonight in his first comments about president trump refusing to concede the 2020 race. >> i just think it's an embarrassment, quite frankly. it will not help the president's legacy >> reporter: biden barreling ahead with his presidential transition >> so i'm confident that the fact that they're not willing to acknowledge we won at this point is not of much consequence in our planning and what we're able to do between now and january 20th >> reporter: his team had spent months mapping out a quick start for a future biden white house. their work now hitting a roadblock. the trump appointee who heads the general services administration has not officially recognized biden as president-elect. doing so would release additional resources and intelligence, including for biden the president's daily brief. >> obviously the pdb would be useful, but it's not necessary i'm not the sitting president now. and so we don't see anything as slowing us down >> reporter: while president trump isn't acknowledging biden's victo

we begin with geoff bennett with the biden campaign >> reporter: a sprint to the finish tonight. joe biden and barack obama in battleground michigan, making several stops together in person for the first time in the 2020 race >> joe biden is my brother. i love this -- i love joe biden. and he will be a great president. >> reporter: their push aimed at boosting support among black voters, including a performance by r&b legend stevie wonder ♪ >> obama hitting hard on the coronavirus crisis >> trump cares about feeding his ego. joe cares about keeping you and your family safe. >> here's the truth, michigan this pandemic would have been challenging for any president. but this idea that somehow this white house has done anything but completely screw this up is nonsense >> reporter: obama and biden condemning the president's false claim that doctors are inflating the covid death count. >> you know, our doctors get more money if somebody dies from covid. >> what in the hell is wrong with this man? the people of this nation have suffered and sacrificed for nine months. none more so than

>> bennett, if you could call up slide eight. i don't know who would play strang but here's what my son julian, , beijing else suggeste. here we go. >> there we go. >> that's jared leto. if you look at the nose of these two guys and the eyes, i find it uncanny and jerry lehto has a kind of chaotic charisma at a think strang might've had. i really struck. i feel like there's a genetic tie here, that only needs to be traced. are there any other questions? donovan and i want to get some before we close out tonight. >> i have a few more here that it been coming in. i'm hearing that -- the coen brothers, some good directing. >> coen brothers would be perfect. >> questions on the connections between right now in democracy and simply that time and what conmen were doing. there's one question that has yet to come up that a really like you to talk but in this regarding his abolitionist beliefs. i was hoping you could talk about how there were other things that he held that best in and that is coming from your wife if i read that correctly

the pandemic remaining a key focus for the biden transition jose >> geoff bennett, thank you very much. >>> after a 24-hour weather delay all systems are go for tomorrow night's spacex launch in florida though there is a new complication after spacex ceo elon musk announced he tested positive for covid. here's tom costello. >> reporter: poised for a sunday night launch, the falcon 9 rocket and a spaceship its crew has dubbed tested both negative "resilience. but after spacex ceo elon musk tweeted he'd tested both negative and positive for covid, nasa quickly ensured the crew was safe and announced musk would not be allowed on site for the launch >> if any of those protocols had been compromised we're not going to let you near the crew and again, it's to protect the overall mission that we're trying to accomplish and everybody recognizes that. it's no surprise >> we're ready we've spent the last couple of weeks kind of fine-tuning our training >> reporter: the astronauts themselves have been social distancing and under quarantine for two weeks ahead of their six-month mission on the spa

geoff bennett is with the president-elect. it's once again, they're fairly low-key about everything that's going on. but i mean -- and i don't know what they should be doing and if they have much recourse other than to have? patience and bide their time. but the outgoing president is actively destroying the foundation of democracy a bit. and i know that was part of what joe biden ran on. but they must feel a bit powerless right now. >> reporter: yeah. sxik tell you, chuck, based on my conversations with biden transition officials i certainly am picking up increasing concern, worry, alarm. dr. david kes lerks who leads the biden covid advisory board, said on the record yesterday that these delays really risk the fact that the biden team will be able to distribute the vaccine to scale and equitably. the biden covid task force right now doesn't have a good eye on the medical supply chain and in fact the way that they get data on caseload and death counts and hospitalizations is relying on media reports and what's available public

but let's start with geoff bennett with the president-elect. geoff, what is the -- i know what the public posture is of the biden campaign right now. behind the scenes, how nervous are they that it looks like the republican apparatus, perhaps led by mitch mcconnell, is going to allow donald trump to continue to call these shots on the transition, perhaps for some time. >> well, chuck, look. campaign officials i've talked to say that they were prepared for this. they plan for any eventuality, including the one that we're living through right now. and they say that the biden campaign turned biden transition has a few advantages, even as the president and his republican backers have really thrown sand into the gears here. one is that joe biden himself, of course, was vice president for eight years. and he is surrounded by a team of experienced and by most accounts, competent folks who have been working on this transition for months. so if this delay persists for a few more days, that they can deal with. if days turns to weeks, then we have a probl

kristen, peter. >> geoff bennett with biden forging ahead with his transition.little morning boost. >> let's do it. >> back in july, 2-year-old chompers the sea lion was rescued off the coast of california after getting tangled in fishing line. this week chompers finally returned home to the ocean. she was released after recovering from her injuries at the pacific marine mammal center. the center said chompers was found tangled in a fishing line with a hook in her neck. they discovered two dozen rocks in her stomach. after several surgeries and weight gain chompers was ready to be on her own again. the center shared this video writing on facebook be free and thrive, chompers. >> so adorable. >> i wonder if she got a dental visit with a name like chompers. >> that was good, peter. she's got a lot of new fans on facebook, i bet. >> they do good work there. >> indeed. >>> still ahead, it was the interview of the '90s, but was princess diana tricked into revealing some of her deepest secrets? we'll take we'll take a did you know that febreze air effects uses 100% na

. >> bret: let's bring back a panel, bill bennett, mara eliasson, national political correspondent for national public radio, and bill mcgurn, columnist for "the wall street journal." okay, mara, your thoughts and what you just heard on the president of the united states? >> yes. well, what i just heard was a lot of charges. we haven't seen the evidence yet and when he says that the george account, which john just explained his numbers are going down as he was speaking, he said discount -- this system is controlled by democrats. the governor and the secretary of state and the secretary of state is in charge of the voting machinery are both republicans and if there was the kind of massive fraud and irregularity but the president talks about, you would think that brad and governor kemp would be looking into it or raising the alarm bells. but i'm surprised by is the utter silence on the part of the republicans, really, who aren't echoing the president's claims, not even vice president pence has been charging the same things, so he's got a ton of lawyers, a lot of money to bring these case

we want to begin with geoff bennett.delaware. geoff, good morning. >> reporter: hey, peter, good morning. joe biden says he's certain of a resounding victory over president trump once all the votes are counted given his expanded lead in battleground states. you see the map right there. here's a bit more of what joe biden had to say last night. >> we're on track to over 300 electoral votes, electoral college votes. and look at the national numbers. we're going to win this race with a clear majority of the nation behind us. >> reporter: now, biden delivered that scaled-back speech after the campaign pressed pause on their plans for an outdoor celebration. look, there is a reason for that. even though president trump falsely and preemptively declared himself the winner this week, joe biden has made clear that only the american people can determine who the next president will be, and that hinges on an independent declaration of the results. since that hasn't happened yet, that's why he gave that scaled-back speech inside las

khairi saadallah killed james furlong, david wails, and joseph ritchie—bennett, during the two—minuteo start, the redding attacker, khairi saadallah is in a late afternoon court hearing has now pleaded guilty to all three murders and all three attempted murders. khairi saadallah had onlyjust been released from prison where he was serving a sentence for three assaults and for possessing a knife when he carried out what the prosecution says was a terrorist attack. it was a warm june evening as the first covid lockdown was starting to ease when khairi saadallah launched his extremely rapid and deadly attack. forbury gardens was full of people. the pubs, including the nearby blagrave arms, popular with reading's gay community, were still shut. three friends from the pub — a schoolteacher called james furlong, an american customer service manager called joseph richie—bennett and a scientist called david wails — were sitting together when they were all stabbed from behind. james furlong and joseph richie—bennett were killed with single stab wound to the backs of their necks. david wails die

bill bennett, let me start with you.our thoughts as we wait on the president here about where we are and where we may be going? >> big picture, i am not a conspiracy theorist. i tend not to be hysterical, i follow this be 29, that's my profession, tell the truth, but just a few facts, you look at philadelphia and after the dash they stopped counting on tuesday night, one tranche of votes was delivered, 23,277, all for joe biden. all for joe biden? doesn't that raise questions? and this was, by the way, according to nate silver at 538, in milwaukee they had 89% turnout i in the city of milwaukee, which was 20, 30 points higher than hillary clinton had and ten points or 15 points higher than barack obama. what does that mean? it is circumstantial evidence for sure, but it seems to me to suggest that the inquiry needs to be pushed. courts can look at circumstantial evidence and make inferences from it. 23,277 votes and one tranche according to 538, all for joe biden. i think any reasonable person would say what the heck is

khairi saadallah killed james furlong, david wails, and joseph ritchie—bennett during the two—minute reports. it was a warm june evening as the first covid lockdown was starting to ease when khairi saadallah launched his extremely rapid and deadly attack. forbury gardens was full of people. the pubs, including the nearby blagrave arms, popular with reading's gay community, were still shut. three friends from the pub — a schoolteacher called james furlong, an american customer service manager called joseph richie—bennett and a scientist called david wails — were sitting together when they were all stabbed from behind. james furlong and joseph richie—bennett were killed with single stab wound to the backs of their necks. david wails died from two stab wounds. minutes later, khairi saadallah was arrested. he'd apparently deliberately cut himself to make it look like he was a victim. the 26—year—old pleaded guilty to three counts of murder and three counts of the attempted murder of stephen young, patrick edwards and nishit nisudan. at a hearing at the old bailey next month, the prosecut

the wooden bennett coit mosque was built in the 17th century along the bosphorus strait. authorities have launched an inquiry to determine the cause of the fire. germany's coronavirus restrictions could continue for up to 5 more months. the country's economy minister, peter all told the german newspaper built, and sontag that the covert 19 infection rate nationwide is far too high. there had been hopes of an end to the partial lockdown imposed earlier this month. germany, however, has topped the $20000.00 mark in daily infections multiple times already this month . german chancellor angela merkel is holding talks with regional leaders about the pandemic on monday. and here in the studio with more information, tell me more about what peter has been saying. well, the main message from the economy minister is that germans really have to brace for another 4 to 5 months of severe restrictions that echoes what the chancellor and the health ministry in spawn have said to over the weekend that we are looking at hard months ahead that looks like the current measures ahead to stay.

let's bring in alex vogue vocal, and matt bennett. and cofounder of the think tank third way.n addition to another hearing on december 3rd that will take place in nevada. are these the breaks that president trump was looking for on the legal front? >> i don't think so. this pennsylvania case is interesting. that's the certification in the presidential race that's already taken place and electors chosen and ironically the only plaintiff the sole effect is a congressman who brought it, who one, but his election hasn't been certified. it is a case that's important, and ironically it should have been brought pre-election. >> john: maddock, you and i were both there in year 2,000 when the gore campaign and the bush campaign were battling it out. how do you compare what we see now with what we saw back in 2,000? >> i was working for al gore at the time and it was a heck of a fight, the election was decided by 557 votes. all the votes in florida have been counted and the fight was over the recount. but what happened was both sid sides, bush and gore fought hard but with dignity. in t

. >> bennett, if you could pull up slide number eight. if you look at these guys i find it uncanny.and obviously jared lehto has that kind of chaotic charisma. but i'm really struck. i feel like there is a genetic tie that only needs to be traced. are there any other questions? we want to get something before we close out. a. >> we have a few more here that have been coming in. i am hearing paul -- >> we are getting a lot of questions on the connections between right now and democracy and what -- but there's one question i would like you to talk about and it's regarding the abolitionist beliefs, and i was hoping you could talk about how it would shift in certain respects but there seem to be other things and i think that one is coming from your wife. >> she's a wonderful chicago [inaudible] she did the audiobook for this book, and it was really fun to kind of work with her, mostly give suggestions but she said i'm a professional, i've got this. but that's a great, listening to a little bit of it it's so fun and i'm proud to have my name associated with hers anywhere but the mortgage

senator bennett and i then had the same reaction. well, if there's that much agreement on how to make it easier for 20 million families to a ply for federal aid, why don't we just do it? so the senator and i turned the lengthy fafsa into a post guard. the result was the fast act. senator murray and i then worked with the obama administration to allow students to fill out the fafsa using their tax information from two years before they enroll in college. instead of one. so they could file in the fall rather than having to wait until spring. the trump administration has created an app so students and families can file the fafsa on their cell phones or tablets. the future act which senator murray and sponsored which became law last year reduced the fafsa by up to 22 questions and eliminated the bureaucratic nightmare created by requiring students to give the federal government the same information twice and then to try to catch them in making a mistake. stopping the federal government from asking for your tax information twice once for

. >> alicia: let's bring in policy director from the romney 2012 connie chen and matt bennett.here today. loany, let me begin with you. when we are talking about nothing is official about janet yellen and this possibility of sally yates janet yellen deeply respected. she is someone who has avoided a lot of political controversy in recent years. she would be someone who i would expect would be confirmed relatively easily even with the republican controlled senate. sally yates has obviously been in the middle of much more political conversation. the attorney general job by its nature over the last few years has become much more plift sides. that started during the tail end of the obama administration. so that one may be a little bit more challenging. but, by and large alicia, i would say most of the names we have heard from the president-elect so far have been experienced season washington hands. while i might disagree with them on policy. i cannot say that they're anything but extremely qualified to plate role that they have been appointed for. >> alicia: what are your thoughts

joining me geoff bennett in wilmington. and jen palmieri, and stephanie cutter, deputy senior adviser to president obama. what a great way to start off. geoff bennett, first, take us through the president-elect's day, what we know about the expanding team. and the big economic team announcement today. >> well, andrea, in addition to nursing his hairline fractured foot, the president-elect, as you mentioned today, is receiving for the first time since winning the election the president's daily brief. and for those who are unfamiliar, the pdb is a highly classified top-level collection of national security information and analysis. and i suspect that. db and joe biden ands have president-elect kamala harris is looking a lot different than joe biden grew accustomed to in 2007. in large part because this pdb was changed to suit president trump it's shorter and less nuanced. and the report is that when joe biden gets sworn in he basically gets to form the pdb to his own liking. the president-elect is forming the upper echelon of

bennett. i'm the psychologist out here. one psychiatrist for over 600 patients.? we are presently in the process of moving these people out of here. some of them are going down to the new hospital where we hope i will get the type of help they need. superintendent, can tell you more about that. are closing down the colony as fast as we can. we have already built a new building here and we are planning the reconstruction of another. hardlythese moves will solve our problems. problems come to state hospitals across the country. basic problems, strange as it may seem is public apathy. that 100 years ago confronted our founder, dorothea dix. >> and so, you have heard from mental patients themselves and those who are trying to help them. of the crowded conditions and the shortage of staff in mental hospitals. suddenly now, there is new hope for all, for youth the public to pay the bills and for us, the mentally sick. this real chance for many of us to get well again is due to research in mental illness. one of the most helpful contributions of that research is new dru

bill bennett, former education secretary, host of the bill bennett show podcast. chief at "usa today" and "washington post" columnist marc thiessen. marc, what about where we are now as we are still singing these legal challenges by the president although they seem to be diminishing at least now in a number of these states as they officially certify, but the positive news on the vaccine front is palpable. >> the positive news on the vaccine front is palpable and the positive news that the trump biden transition is finally getting underway and by the way, getting underway faster than the clinton and bush transition did. we are ahead of schedule, so all of these people setting their hair on fire that the transition wasn't happening, it's happening at a good pace. the problem is that the president is focused on the wrong thing right now. his chances of overturning the last election are next to zero. it's not zero itself. so he has a path to a second term, but it's in 2024. and the path to a second term goes through georgia and winning the georgia senate race and righ

the bill bennett show podcast and leslie marshall, democratic strategist.e you both. bill, you are the president say, kind of catch himself and say the next administration -- this administration will not lockdown. your thoughts on where we are now is this fight continues around the country about election results. >> i thought he was pretty evenhanded. we don't know the final result, it hasn't been certified yet and these challenges are right but this america, we are now 49-49 nation. 49% versus 49% nation. michael barone's phrase from 20 years ago, still true today. any important issue is going to get politicized. the problem is the consequences of politicizing it the way it's been. the president was right about cuomo. cuomo said he would trust a decision coming down, and approval coming down from the trump administration unless it was certified by others. of course is going to be certified by others. it has to go through the fda and other rigorous testing. i'm a little concerned too about pfizer not saying it was the beneficiary of some of these funds. are

joining me from wilmington, nbc news white house correspondent geoff bennett. from washington, nbc news correspondent carol lee and former secretary of homeland security during the obama administration, janet napolitano. currently a professor of public policy at uc-berkeley. geoff, i want to talk to you about the biden team. it appears their patience is running thin. do they -- how do they feel about their ability to distribute a vaccine once it goes online when he is sworn in on january 20th? >> yeah. and here's the big thing. even though we know these vaccines will come online, the current transition team is locked out of the current administration's vaccine distribution plans. so, one of the things we heard the head of the trump administration vaccine effort is that after december, they hope to vaccinate somewhere between 20 to 30 million people a month. well, think about that. that's 20 to 30 million glass vials that each vaccine has to go in. that's 20 to 30 million syringes, 20 to 30 million pieces of ppe. then there's the question of, where do people go
