deutsche. i thought that it was so revealed in "the washington post" that read out this intervention that the white chief of staff and the white house council and as i said to phil rucker, the number of people who were in that meeting grew. that went into to tell donald trump time to mover on and green light a transition but what put him over the edge was the rebuke from the business community. why is the view from the business community hold this space where he'll do something because they want to but not because it is in the country's interest. >> because first ever all donald trump holds voters in disdain and t and the finance ears is a club he wants to be part of. the head of blackstone would write that note out there saying the election is certain and it is time to move on, think that strung trump. he's a close adviser and a fundraiser and you have to follow the money. and it is interesting that we're i guess at 24th of november, 21 days in and the stock market is up 13% this month. a lot of that has to do with vaccine but the market is reacting to a president-elect biden and potentially also

joining us is "the washington post" contributing columnist and political analyst, former congressman donna edwards and marketing expert donny deutschedonna, the tape i think could go on and on and on. they don't have a capacity for shame. the right. having once worked and rode in that direction doesn't have a capacity for accountability for their own words and they're now so invested in this big lie that donald trump is telling but i just feel like we are entering new a new phase where there's a c concerted effort to brainwash half of the electorate to thinking they didn't actually lose when they did. >> yeah. i think that's right. the danger here is not that we don't believe that donald trump is going to leave the white house. he is going to leave the white house in january 20th is coming. and it's not that there is some sort of miscarriage in terms of falsely cast ballots, illegally cast ballots, they are deliberately trying to create this atmosphere in this sort of rampage on the right of people who believe in conspiracy theories as they do that this election was stolen and they're using that to continue fund raising, using it fo

"the washington post" taking a look at what happened between the november 3rd election and the day that president trump green lit joe biden's transition on november 23rd. as the "the post" puts it those 20 days exemplified the hallmarks of life in his white house, a government paralyzed by his fragile state. and expletive laden feuds between aides and advisers and a pernicious blurring of truth and fantasy. in the days after the election, he ignored the aides and the lawyers and instead trump empowered loyalists who were willing to tell him what he wanted to hear. that he would have won in a landslide had the election not been rigged and stolen.
