but claire mccaskill, how do you -- how would you describe what kind of foreign policy you expect joeiden to enact? like, how would you describe it? and is there a model president to compare it to? >> well, he's inheriting a crisis, this hack that has occurred from russia that has still traded a number of federal agencies and even indications into some of our most secure systems as it relates to nuclear power. he's got a crisis on his hands, and it will be an opportunity for him to send a strong signal to russia, either on front street or behind the curtain, where they can feel the impact of a new sheriff in town when it comes to putin and russia. he will no longer coddle bad guys and he will immediately try to strengthen our alliances around the world. those democracies that believe in the same values we believe in. because that's really the national security of our country is how strong that alliance is. and it's been frayed over trump's irresponsibility over the last four years. that's what he'll get to right away, and i think that will be the cornerstone of his foreign policy. >>s

claire is still here. i find so interesting, is that some of tandens most vocal defenders are people like bill crystal and george conway who understand this long tradition that elections have consequences and when you win an election, you get to pick whom ever you want. and so the reaction is not based on partisanship, it seems to be based on what they're complaining about or crying about mean tweets to them which is insane as they are all still covering up for the lies from america's biggest cyber bully, donald trump. >> yeah, you're right. and look, the criticism isn't based on policy, it is really intensely personal to your point about controversial or critical things that she has said on twitter and elsewhere. and look, the transition i think is keenly aware of that and so is she. an one of the things that we saw in this the sort of carefully choreographed roll out is that the other biden nominees spoke in deeply personal terms and connected their personal stories to joe biden's policy approach. and th

claire: thank you for having me on.mportant that everyone understands that not only are we in the middle of a health crisis, we also have a food crisis that has come along with this. you mentioned before the pandemic, and i will talk about something that you know a lot about. the economic downturn of 2008. coming out of that downturn, rates of food insecurity went close to 50 million. it took 10 years, a decade to get back to pre-recession rates of food insecurity. in 2018, whenere it got to 37 million. then 35 million in 2019. all of us would agree that is 35 million to many, but we were making progress. as a result of this pandemic, we estimate those numbers will soar back to somewhere near 50 million people. that is one out of six individuals. one out of four kids. and that is the average. there are counties in this country where everyone out of two children are insecure. --is a really disparate desperate situation for a lot of people. what are the quick data point before we move on, and the people turning to us for

when you think about russia, for example, what claire mccaskill was just saying i think is absolutelye different from the start is going to be the tone yes, there have been tough sanctions against russia, but i'm told in speaking to transition officials that the tone is going to be very different from the top from the start, and they think that's going to make a difference. >> okay. >> it's impossible for the tone not to be different. and that's a good thing but it's impossible. >> running for re-election i hear you on the issue of the re-election, how does joe biden avoid the constant, will he or won't he and also avoid being a lame duck >> he'll probably avoid doing a lot of shows where people will be focused on that i think he's going to really just refuse to even go there i don't think it would be very smart for him to even discuss it he's got two years of work ahead of him where he's going to get stuff done by the way, chuck, the american people this year of all years are reallyic is sick of politi. >> oh, yes, that i get i won't be asking the question for two years, that i promi

claire, i want to start with you. when i read peter's reporting and the other great reporting in all the papers this weekend, especially "the washington post" count, putting numbers and names to all of the republicans, green lighting and enabling donald trump's war against this result, donald trump's war against republican and local election officials, secretaries of state and governors, it is clear they have made a choice not to protect the integrity of the vote and therefore not to protect our democracy. what are the lasting effects of that? it strikes me that at this point trump is as peter writes about to fade into oblivion. the republicans that enable this still today, 4:00 on monday, they should have to somehow come to terms with what they're doing now, no? >> well, here's the bottom line. here's the dirty little secret. their default language has been the president has a right to pursue legal recourse to ensure that every vote was legal and that illegal votes are not counted. okay, that might have been fine the

look, i agree with claire. today is a happy day. it sets the cements the reality donald trump has been fired by the american people and he will not have political power in this country come noon on january 30th and that's a very good thing from where i sit, but at the end of the day, we saw american democracy poisoned over the course of november. american democracy relies on faith and belief in the legitimacy of the system from the people who grant it authority under our system of rule. what it requires is one side being able and willing to lose an election, to concede power temporarily in that virtuous circle. we should think about what we saw in washington, d.c. this weekend. what is it that we saw this weekend in washington? what was it? they weren't wearing brown and black uniforms like they would have in italy or in germany in the 1920s or 1930s, but they're the same people. what we saw was right wing violence in the nation's capi l capital. this is political violence. this is a fascistic organization. when you have more than a

claire, you saw it.republican in congress, majority leader mitch mcconnell yesterday finally acknowledging joe biden won the election. >> the electoral college has spoken. i want to congratulate president-elect joe biden. i also want to congratulate the vice president-elect kamala harris. we can take flied our nation has a female vice president-elect for the very knithis time. >> and president trump tweeting, we should fight. mcconnell issues a warning to republicans yesterday telling the caucus not to object when certified by congress on january 6th. according to multiple sources mcconnell told his colleagues it would be a terrible vote for republicans, it would have to go on the record voting against the objection and thus voting against trump. we're told no one on the call pushed back on this request. however, the same cannot be said for the house leader, minority leader, where kevin mccarthy has so far refused to acknowledge biden's victory. he's also done little to stop some of his members who are p

claire, i start with you.ave no words other than to bring the best of it to this broadcast, to share it and say what the bleep did people think was going to happen when donald trump was enabled by all of these people? >> he has been indulged for so long in his narcissistic fantasy that everyone is in office because he put them there. that no one would hold office if it wasn't for his benevolent nature and bestowing upon them his blessing. and here is the thing that is really weird about this, nicolle. is who is not in the room. you notice where jared is. jared is getting out of the country. mike pompeo is trying to get out of the country. pence is trying to hide under his desk. all of the people who have allowed this president to do thisker ossive damage to our democracy are now hiding from him. and he's beginning to fir out that the only people who are willing to be w him are crazy town. he's surrounded by crazy town and that is it. now the republican party deserves to pay a very steep price for this. >> do y

working away, is claire. hi, claire.ese peas? why is it so significant? they contain high amounts of resistance starch. that means the starch is digested more slowly so we do not get that big glucose spike or big sugar spike in our bloodstream shortly after we consume a meal containing those types of seeds. and that is really important for preventing disorders such as type two diabetes, where insulin responses are really out of kilter with the amount of sugar which is in our bloodstream. in the lab, scientists revealed the magic inside the super—pea, which is actuallyjust a type of garden pea that's been allowed to grow to maturity. these strange shapes are grains of that resistance starch, the ingredient that can help us avoid damaging sugar spikes. type two diabetes can increase your risk of heart and liver disease, stroke and amputations. a healthy diet is a key way to control or even avoid it. potentially, then, this is what we could all be eating in the future. the team here has made super—pea hummus. now, they tell

claire mccaskill is going to join us. >> ah!> i'm having some of that gd coffee. >> where did you pull up with the mug. did you pull up with the mug. >> i pulled up with the mug. i pulled up with the mug, leslie. and with my gang of dishes and my dangerous wiry stairway. [ laughter ] >> hey, hey listen, here is what i have to tell you. first, my friend, nicki is the best in the business. and you figured that out. nick-a. always nick-a. but let me tell you something, lesl leslie jones, she's right about humor at a time of a crisis and the feeling to act on it, people who are smart are the only people who could be really funny. >> wow! >> and that means you. it takes great intelligence to be really funny. so you're really one smart broad. >> why do we keep you doing this. how do we keep you watching -- any of the cable -- because i can't live without it. >> it is like crowd work. and just like claire said, this is a moment, i am a comedienne and i do understand that humor is medicine and this is the best medicine for us right now.

babineaux-fontenot claire, good morning so nice to meet you.re than one of these already >> all of us, all of us. i know there's a run of tissues around here. claire, there's also a run on hope and inspiration and excitement because this is something that every single person watching can do, can make a difference tell us about the scope of the need, especially this year >> yes so i love the show for lots of reasons, and one is because you're highlighting not only that there is -- there really is unprecedented need out there our estimates are more than 50 million people are likely to be food insecure as a result of this pandemic. that's one in four individuals one in six individuals, one in four kids. but in some communities, that could be as much as one out of every two children in a community who can be food insecure, so certainly the challenge is great but what i also love is how you're highlighting the remarkable generosity that we're seeing we've been seeing it since the beginning of this pandemic, that you are holding up those heroes that

always, nick k. >> oh, claire, claire, you are definitely my favorite cupcake, baby. >> there you go.oo. >> nicolle wallace is going to be nick k. forever to all of us. we love that, leslie. >>> meanwhile, the sitcom "it's always sunny in philadelphia" is making history. the gang is going to be back for four more seasons, and it's going to make it the longest running live-action sitcom by season count, shattering the previous record. the show's going to run through season 18, far surpassing the previous record holder, "the adventures of ozzie and harriet," which ran for 14 seasons on abc starting in the 1950s. while "it's always sunny" has yet to win any awards, it's got a large fan base and a dedicated cast and has been described as the little show that could. >>> and dust off those fedoras and grab your bull whips, because "indiana jones" is coming back one last time. lucasfilm announced yesterday that preproduction is already under way for a fifth and final "indiana jones" movie. harrison ford, who is now 78, will be reprising the title character for the first time since 2008. osca
