david bossie, good to see you.uch. >>> an update on a story we brought you moments ago. facebook responding to a lawsuit from the department of justice. the suit claims the social media giant discriminates against u.s. workers. facebook now says it has been cooperating with justice department in its review and of course it disputes the allegations but it has been cooperating with the doj. we'll be right back. stay with us. ♪ . ♪ sofi made it so easy to pay off my student loan debt. (chime) choosing sofi was literally one of the best decisions i could have ever made because it gave me peace of mind. ♪ david: great news, stocks are in record territory again, heading into the final hour of trading. it all looks good. let's bring in one of the best, pointview wealth management's david dietze. when i heard you were on, i said hooray, great closer for the show. tomorrow we get the jobs numbers from november. the problem is, the jobs numbers of course are looking back in the rear view mirror and there are a -- a lot of th

lawsuits this year before somebody told him that actually david bossie is not a lawyer, and then david bossie got covid so he couldn't do it anyway. but now he'll be on the defense business board along with corey lewandowski when biden's team takes over at the pentagon along with all the senior staff who trump moved heaven and earth to bring in for the last few weeks here, right? these guys at their senior level pentagon guests commenting angrily on youtube videos about hydroxychloroqui hydroxychloroquine. i mean this is what they're doing at the pentagon. the united states military is the largest and most capable military on the planet. the united states government is in the driver's seat of the richest and most powerful and most capable country on the planet. but it turns out that if you have terrible people running those entities and running them poorly, it doesn't really matter how big and powerful you are on paper or how big and powerful you might have been in the past. you can be rendered completely helpless and impotent by just having in the right place the wrong people who are

they've been cheapened by corey lewandowski and david bossy, it was of enough value for you to leavehan to stay. >> well, yes, that's a colorful characterization of what happened. but for, brian, i grew up in the 20th century, i did a lot of -- in the communist party. there was one way and one thought. you didn't get to advise the government. from the united states point of view, we realize that's why the soviet union or all authoritarian governments were weak because they didn't encourage diversity of thought. we, on the other hand, acted as a single nation. no one asked, no one knew what party you were from. still can't tell you what party any of my board members were from. the idea was to give the country the best advice period. all of of a sudden when i saw this change, i asked some friends in washington, what's the best way to kind of approach this. and the advice i got in general was, you know, just stick it out and it will be over in 40 some odd days. i thought about that overnight, and then i realized two things. one is i couldn't look myself in the mirror in the morning. and

dannie pletka, is there a good-faith argument that exists for appointing corey lewandowski and david bossiehand, this pentagon review board has often had appointees on it who have a somewhat tenuous relationship to national security. on the other hand, the wholesale purge of former officials, including, by the way, senior republicans, people like j.d. crouch, someone like henry kissinger, for heaven sakes, that smacks of the kind of cronyism, the kind of, you know, dictatorial loyalty test that donald trump loves. on the other hand, i don't think that that is going to throw out much of a barrier to joe biden because he can push out all of these new appointees almost as easily as donald trump did. >> i think that's something everybody's figuring out here and i wonder if the trump folks realize how much time they may be wasting doing what they're doing right now. we shall see. i'm going to pause here. >>> when we come back, the presidential election was not as close as you think, but it was a lot closer than elections some of us grew up with. that's next. me of us grew up with that's next. ro

david bossy, leading the legal team, that is one of the reasons, it is not terribly surprising that rudyf president trump's tweet is correct, did contract coronavirus. he has been working closely with so many others who did contract coronavirus. back when president trump was preparing for his presidential debate against joe biden. he was in the debate session preps. with chris christy, and mcdaniel, and conway, all tested positive. not wearing a mask, in close contact with other individuals, a lot of the practices, that doctors tell us cretes opportunity for covid infections, we have seen rudy giuliani in several states, appears at hearings, some are not hearings of the state legislature, but groups of lawmakers, meeting in hotel bawl rooms, we have seen rudy giuliani, in michigan, arizona, georgia, not exactly sure where he contracted it, when he was positive. it goes to show how much of a problem it is. rudy giuliani, becoming the 53rd person in and around trump's orbit that tested positive for coronavirus. >> 53rd. those who are coming into contact with the president are going to be i

now one of the other casualties of that crisis has been david bossie who was going to be his ally in leading the post election fight. so it begs the question what about the president's battle against the results of the election? well, it's not going to make much difference because that battle wasn't going anywhere. another court defeat this morning. huh dozens and dozens of court defeats for president trump and his cause and once the electoral college votes next week we'll see a dymin news of any effort by the president to overturn the election and we'll be left with no more donald trump presidency but a tragic mess with the coronavirus with many trump associates themselves victims and, of course, the entire nation and more than 275,000 deaths so far as victims of that crisis as well. >> john harwood, you lay it out incredibly well there. thank you for that. we hope rudy giuliani is okay. let's talk about the headlines this morning with joshua sharkstein, a former deputy commissioner for the fda. it's great to have you this morning because you know exactly how this week works. can yo

in their stead, people like cory lieu want douse we, david bossie, part sans, put in advisory positionslp pentagon navigate things in the business world and innovation. >> ryan, thank you so much, ryan browne at the pentagon. he will speak to buffett parents now seeing the state of california and the federal government over remote learning. why they believi putsing minority students at a disadvantage. >>> and president-elect joe biden will be speaking live. stay tuned for that. the time to choose your coverage... begins october 15th and ends december 7th. so call unitedhealthcare... and take advantage of a wide choice of plans... including an aarp medicare advantage plan from unitedhealthcare. it can combine your hospital and doctor coverage... with part d prescription drug coverage, and more, all in one simple plan... for a low monthly premium or in some areas, no plan premium at all. take advantage of $0 copays on all primary care doctor visits, all virtual visits, and all lab tests. also get $0 copays for preventive dental care, $0 copays for routine hearing exams, and $0 copays for

here to break down the state of the race, coauthors of "trump: america first," david bossi and corey lewandowski. gentlemen, thank you very much and great to see you. what an evening, right? >> never a dull moment. >> david, as we are looking, you know, congress doing what we recognize them to do, which is ignoring the american people, using our money to pay off special interests, et cetera come at a time in our history, you know, when we expect them to do the right thing. they are not doing it. it takes donald trump to step up -- maybe they just didn't think he would care, he was going to sleepwalk through all of this, but he's not. give me a sense -- >> he's a fighter. >> tammy: he is. >> and he is a fighter for the american people. >> tammy: let's -- >> everything is about tonight. reinforces what the american people know about donald trump. he fights, and he fights for the american people. the $600, and i want to get to george and a second, but this reminded me -- this bill, this monstrosity of a bill, reminds me of what nancy pelosi said in 2010 about obamacare. we have to pass i

director and other trump loyalists are lining up influential posts with advisers corey lewandowski and david bossy be appointed to the pentagon's defense business board the kind of deep state behavior mr. trump has railed against in the past. >> unelected deep state operatives who defy the voters to push their own secret agendas are truly a threat to democracy itself. >> the director of national intelligence john ratcliffe a trump loyalist laid out another danger in questioning the election results. it is emboldening u.s. adversaries. >> does the intelligence show foreign adversaries are amplifying the voter fraud allegations? >> they are. >> who is doing that? >> i can't tell you. >> but they are. >> yes. >> what is their objective? >> to undermine public confidence in our democratic processes. >> another serious concern the virus ravaged economy as only 245,000 jobs were added last month. 224,000 fewer than expected as the unemployment rate dipped to 6.7%. the numbers showed job growth is slowing as the pandemic worsens. >> i don't think the job numbers are necessarily the end all and be all. i

installing people loyal to president trump in their place and that includes cory loon douse with, david bossy among others. what do you think of this move and what do you think the president is doing? his angle? >> a concerted effort by donald trump and his cronies to do everything they can to make the transition to president-elect joe biden as difficult as possible. you're seeing them play politics with national security, with homeland security, and they know that republicans in congress aren't going to do anything, say anything to try to stop this from happening. so they have free reign now between now and january 20th to politicize everything, try to retail the biden presidency before it has a chance to begin. it's a huge miscalculation that they keep playing games like this at a time when we're dealing with a pandemic, where the priorities of the american people or something very serious, hitting very close to home, that's having a massive loss of life, and you have people like bossy and loon douse wit lewandowski to have a role in this. the next time you hear a republican talk about nati

because i would presume that president-elect biden will immediately remove cory lewandowski and david bossiet is just one of the moves that you could pretty much say should happen. and the other machinations of trump loyalties within the pentagon, there is a finite amount that they could accomplish before president briden and his team come in. that said, i'm concerned about the political ramifications of president-elect biden's decision to nominate general austin. i wonder if that is a trickier confirmation than his team is foreseeing. i'm sure they have counted the votes but will you have those opposed to a waiver for general mattis and voting against giving a waiver out of principle, out of opposing that a uniform officer should be more than seven years out of service before heading up the secretary of defense position which is a position traditionally for civilians with the exception of general georgia marshall and another extraordinary appointment. is this going to be a stumbling block for president biden as he seeks to fill his cabinet? i'm not so sure given that senator blumenthal and

corey lewandowski and david b s bossi. what is going on?is the president trying to do to biden's presidency in these past few weeks by putting people, planting them inside the government, what's the strategy? >> a number of things, chuck. i think number one, despite the fact he's not conceded the election to president-elect biden, he's aware of the fact he will be leaving, he being president trump, on january 20th. so he wants to leave as many hurdles as he can for his successor. and that includes what you were talking about at the pentagon. it includes the difficulty he's made it up until just a week or two ago for biden and his team to get access to information. and it also suggests despite him pushing forward to challenge this election, he is aware of a legacy and he wants that legacy to be this, and he wants that legacy to have an impact on his successor. some would say in the same way he tried to undermine president obama when he was in office. >> dani pletka, is a there a good-faith effort by electing corey lewandowski and david bosi
