we intend to maximize the use of hud.ose 200 in the bay area. i know along with finding housing for veterans, another aspect of the services is trying to improve the health and the mental well being. how much more important that's that become during the pandemic. >> we see a lot of seniors, we have 60% of those in a housing program are 60 or older. they have complex health problems, they have been on the street and have physical pain or diabetes or chronic health conditions which are accelerated by being low income. this is a vulnerable population. this is a population that's vulnerable because of their age. they won't make it if they are not housed. they served our country. it's a crisis to get folks who are frail off the street and into safe housing. we work closely. >> as we wrap-up here, let me ask you the big picture. you and your colleagues have been at this for decades. when you look big picture, are you seeing identify enough success stories, are things moving in the right correction? >> you can't give up. we're m

every few years, hud does a worst-case housing needs assessment to determine the number of householdscross the united states -- these are folks who are renters who are making less than 50% of the median income and are paying more than 50% of their income on rent every month or live in severely inadequate housing, or both of those things. in 2017, there were 7.7 million households that fit that description. mind you, this was a few hundred thousand better than the 2015 assessment. but still overall, it was much worse than we had seen pre-great recession. on top of that, even though we saw during the obama administration a 10% or 11% overall decrease in homelessness, we started to see homelessness tick back up. we have seen a challenge in our country with supply that is affordable to lower-income and middle-class families, and the ability of families to access decent housing throughout our country. mr. clinton: so, maurice, what has been done during covid to minimize the problem, at least keep it from getting worse? maurice: i echo the secretary's thanks, mr. president, for having us. w

in hud. hud is a huge agency because it referees and regulates housing in the u.s.e mac which is very interesting. whoever is in there will most likely be a progressive and probably stop the recap and release and sort of reducing of the footsprint the trump administration under mark ka b calabria is doing. that head of hud will probably stop what calabria is doing. if calabria is going to redo fannie and freddie in his image, he will have to do so in a lame duck session and that will be all-out war trying to privatize, really privatize fannie and freddie, you know, in a lame duck session. but be that as it may, we also hear hhs also another place where progressives might turn up. again, that's what they are telling wall street. maybe they are just trying to calm fears. maybe they are bs'ing, maybe not. but in the major policy positions, it will be a mainstream democratic administration in treasury and chief of staff and defense secretary and secretary of state, susan rice probably will be secretary of state. these are all players that have been there, they are estab

secretary,to hud as we were just climbing out of the great recession.hings stabilized to a large extent. reflectivehis hesitancy to replace homeownership. the entire housing crisis was built by people taking out loans they cannot pay back. that was a narrative that was whohered by republicans wanted to pin all of the blame on individuals instead of banks. on that we hadly to end the stigma of promoting homeownership. we had to get back to this value of homeownership. i believe there is a significant value there. time, people are waiting longer to get married, buy a home, covid has introduced a new level of uncertainty. think you need to provide policy so people can be opportunistic. resident biden has introduced a tax credit that will let you do every -- either one. that is a smart move right now. we continue to see homeownership as valuable. this gives people an option for people who are living in a different world. >> i think if we are going to attack theance to and wealth gap in america, homeownership has to be one of the centerpieces strategies. the

he's the former hud secretary during the obama administration. was a former 2020 democratic presidential candidate running against joe biden in fact. and, secretary, you actually moved the needle on the immigration topic. you were perhaps the most advanced thinker about how to deal with daca and dreamers and people who cross our southern border, and other candidates sort of adopted your view over time. so talk to me about how joe biden walks this line, on one hand negotiating and trying to get things done with mitch mcconnell and republicans if the senate stays in republican control, on the other hand bringing progressives into the fold in a way that doesn't make them feel like outsiders in the democratic party. >> well, you're right, ali. he has to do both, and i think he can do both. i think he's off to a good start. the speeches yesterday by president-elect biden and vice president-elect harris were great speeches about unity, bringing the country together. i also think they can bring the democratic party together. the fact is that this fall w

. >> host: well, hud secretary dr. ben carson, prior to being hud secretary, he is the author of several books, and he appeared on this program in 2013. >> guest: i was an extraordinarily selfish young person. as a adolescent. and i was a person who thought i had a lot of rights. the more rights you think you have,es the more likely someones to infringe upon your rights. so people were always infringing on myon rights, and i would go after people with baseball bats, i would get in fights. and once i even tried to stab another youngster with a knife. the scene is well depicted in the movie, difficulted hands -- gifted hands, which cuba gooding jr. plays few part. but, you know, after that incident, i locked myself in the bathroom, and i started contemplating my life, and i realized, you know, trying to kill somebody over nothing that i was seriously deranged. and, you know, i prayed and i picked up a bible in the bathroom, and it had all these verses in the it about fools. and i i said, wow, does that sod like me. but i

our affordable housing looks like around the united states if we get somebody like cory booker as the hudarson. we have the idea of changing what education looks like if we get somebody like elizabeth warren in there instead of betsy devos, right? we got the chance to change what criminaljustice looks like if we put mickey mouse in there rather than barr orjeff sessions. you know, we got the ability to change a lot of these judges who are appointed federally by the president throughout the united states who perpetuate mass incarceration, who perpetuate all the problems with the systems where we know that disparity there, we know what the folks injail look like. we know where they come from. so, those are my hopes for the election. why are you doing this?! until then, this is what must be overcome. before george floyd in 2017, there was muhammad muhaymin here in arizona. the unarmed black man died after being held down by four police officers, one of whom put his knee on his neck, for close to eight minutes. i cannot breathe! no one was disciplined. and you're only hearing about this case

that they necessarily agree with the platforms of those parties and was that there is a lot of what hud's criticism saying for a party actually can create problems more problems and build and just wason the device and because that essential steaming quote you know folks from parties that would actually when for example the republicans or the democrats in this particular case why it is so close and those states that were saying i sometimes even less than a percentage point how would you react to people who say that if i had to choose we want to any one of the major parties i would flip a coin because i equally dislike both of them. the difference between the republicans and democrats is mostly about personality and style when it comes to the substance of the issues they're both for the deficit spending they're both for spending and taxing too much they're both for continuing the wars and those are things that libertarians oppose and even grains oppose some ringback of that stuff as well so i actually like it when the republicans and democrats get mad at libertarians because it causes them

he has close contact with ben carson, the hud secretary. diagnosedmonday was positive for coronavirus. secretary wilkie yesterday out of an abundance of caution cancel date speech -- canceled a speech to talk about acknowledgments and ideas for the next year. one oppressed officials that he will skip today's events at arlington with the president and other officials, they said he will follow the science and is trying to work as best he can. we will see in a few hours if he decides to go or if he is clear. he said negative tests as recently as two days ago. i don't know if he had one this morning. as we have seen with the white house, these things can spread quickly. the interaction raises concern. host: it is likely to be a rainy morning at arlington national put the ceremony will go on. that's coming up at 11:00 eastern. the president, first lady, mike pence, and the second lady expected to attend. we will have it on c-span, c-span.org, and the c-span radio app. leo shane, president trump ran veterans,ord with the talking about veterans ch

another member of the trumpet ministration testing positive for cocaine at 19 and that is ben carson the hud secretary or. in addition to the chief of staff mark meadows who tested positive in just the last week or so so this is something that we believe has originated from the what was supposed to be a victory party at the white house on election night and as we have seen many times when there have been these sorts of gatherings there are many who aren't wearing masks and as a result now we have this 2nd outbreak at the white house so certainly an interesting timing for all of this given this news correct me if i'm wrong can be but did you say earlier that might parents who heads up the white house coronavirus toss force was going to be convening that talks will start is just that as mike was pointing out you know we might have should say pointed out we have not heard much from him all this tossed force for a long time and in fact i suspect people will be paying more attention to joe biden's team now. i you know i don't know what people are going to pay attention because i have to admit as

david bossi, the outside advisor of the president, who is leaving this postelection fight, along with huden carson and mark meadows. has any evidence been found to support the president's claims of voter fraud? jordan: so far, they have not presented hard evidence that there is widespread voter fraud in this election. chair and white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany just had a press conference where they announced a new lawsuit trying to challenge votes in pennsylvania where joe biden is ahead by roughly 45,000 votes. and the lawsuit does not include any allegation of voter fraud. they are just alleging the process, they believe, was unfair. another lawyer who appeared at the press conference essentially said this is just a biotime so they can find -- buy time so they can find voter fraud. you have the electoral college set to meet in about a month. it just seems like the trump lawyers and their teams are trying to drag this out at this point. they have not found any hard evidence of widespread voter fraud exists. emily: it's anyone's guess also who the president might pardon over t

talk to me, real quick, about -- about ben carson, hud secretary david boise, campaign adviser, positiveit's a hot spot over there. >> it would be easier to talk about who hasn't been infected at the white house. i had a patient ask me, last week, about attending that -- that event on election night. i told him that, maybe, he should ask chris christie how it worked out for him. you could predict that. you know, the -- the white house had created this culture, this bizarre culture, that demonized mask wearing. and i asked him, could you wear a mask in the east room? and he says, no, you can't wear a mask there. >> well, there's your answer. >> there's your answer. >> thank you, doctor. i appreciate it. >> my pleasure, don. sure. >> see you soon. and thank you for watching, everyone. our coverage continues. your experience matters. at university of phoenix, students with relevant life experience and eligible transfer credits save on average $11k and 1 year off their undergrad degree. see how much you can save. i was always comparing myself nefertitito my sisters.irl. they were always thin

a civil rights division in the environmental protection agency, there's a civil rights division in hud, civil rights division in the education department, in the transportation department. the problem is depending upon the administration, that civil right division is either disempowered or um powered. they're hoping that you and the reason that they were applaused in you a that in every aspect of our society we have racial inequality, gender inequality and all of those government agencies have to be tasked with addressing them across the spectrum of american life because they impact americans across all of the speck trigs f of -- spectrum and taking positions in social justice is key to the work that they do and it clearly is. >> nicole, good to see you as always. nicole is a pulitzer prize winning journalist and creator of the 1619 project. >> coming up next, the presidential oath, 35 words that every president swears to abide by upon taking office, unless you're donald trump. how the president broke his promise to the constitution and the american people. you're watching msnbc. the a

the hud my watch. i willive it another couple of yes and it will go away.'t have to deal with it. this resistance is normal a what is so exciting about our current moment is wha i think i learned from my research is the best way to overcome this kind of resistance is shared purpose. and the fact that is what we need rig now and what s any people are discoring is goi to be refueled tt enables us to get through this moment discontiity or destruction freighted to really embrace needing t do things in a new way. mark: thank you . any of a whole section of your book on how you persuade within the corporation, the senior leaders. to bieve in this idea thoroughly to cmit not to just sayi that the brand cares but tually doing things that the brand can do to influence behavior what are the lessons there. myriah: i think brands do new ways to show that the need for this can be actually addresses. because there is way which we should speako them. i think a lot of compani and brand this have a potential value but i think this is where rketeers particularly hav trouble

we need them to restore hud and the department of education, which were decimated under the leadership of ben carson and devos. we need to work on the courts and restoring educational diversity to our federal courts with respect to race and gender. we've turned the clock back in devastation fashion over the last few years. there is a long list of priorities, but to me those rise at the very top and are of great urgency. >> you were a part of those that joined martin luther king iii and myself in convening the march on washington at the end of august when we called for passing of the george floyd policing and justice act as well as the john lewis voting rights act. and the senate has not taken this up. the congress has already passed both. do you feel -- and i know you're nonpartisan in terms of the lawyers committee -- do you feel if there's victories for the democrats in the georgia runoffs and we got a new senate and we can pass legislation that could also address some of the blatant civil rights acts that are needed -- blatant civil rights legislation that is needed at this time? >>

social security the logistical hud of the government. the head, emily murphy has not signed off on documentation that would allow the biden team access to, as you noted, millions of dollars of fund, office space, equipment, to really get things underway over the upcoming weeks in order to have a fully functioning team in place on january 20th for the inauguration of president-elect joe biden. clearly part of the reason that this is happening is because the president hasn't conceded. she is a trump appointee, and we should point out, the only other time this has happened in modern history is in 2000 when the supreme court through a legal battle took a month basically to hand the election to george w. bush over al gore. >> thanks for getting up early or staying up late. this has been one long day and week, hasn't it. i don't know what time it is. >> it's been a day. great to see you, christine. >> you too, thanks. >>> let's bring back senior political analyst, john avlon. we have seen the last few days, a handful of republicans, mostly mit

when you look at the way hud has been managed, we are here today, the combination of forces, finances of the issues that lisa described has gotten us to this point. i am not naive to think and administration can shift all of this but if you are going to some things ind terms of changing what i would call the asset building, acid owning opportunities -- asset owning opportunities, these and witht are deserts a change in presidential administration, what would you front end to make a shift? thomas? first, in my work, i was the principal drafter of the statute that undressed this abuse. 20 years ago, we are up to 17 states, including eight southern states. ruralry region, urban and , new york passed it because of abuses. we have that in place. there is a federal farm that has provided some recent assistance to farmers and ranches. that can be built on. one of the things in terms of the usda, you cannot deny, it has been decades of systemic discrimination, almost unrelenting. there is a reason why the usda has offered a plantation. at a macro level, that systemic discrimination that you f

henry cisneros, the former hud secretary under president bill clinton.e you share the same concern for your successor ben carson right now. it is a reminder this thing is quite virulent, alive and well and building. i wonder if we're seeing a second wave and ultimately that could prove to be president-elect joe biden's first task what do you think? >> neil, first of all thank you for having me and great to talk to you again. i've had the good fortune to be on your show a number of times over the years and i always appreciate it. i think you're right, it is a reminder that the virus is very, very intense. in fact the 128,000 new cases on one day last week, friday, were as strong a number as has been anytime during the pandemic. i'm not sure it is fair to characterize it as a second wave because we really didn't plateau down participate enough to talk about this as a wave. it is more a plateau at a high level and very dangerous. it should remind each and everyone of us we have to continue to be vigilant and where protection with a mask, at least, and be ca

from the party, given that david bossy and mark meadows at the campaign headquarters tested positive, hudon is also positive. it goes to show you we are on the third outbreak this white house has had that we found out and were able to report on. they continue to do things like hold indoor parties where they insisted to reporters it would be fine, they were testing everyone beforehand. we have seen how that does not protect people that attend the parties. there's little mask wearing, john. >> short sighted might be too polite. live at the white house, kaitlan collins. >>> like him or not, president trump is transparent about what his advisers are telling him about his shortcomings. >> they talk about suburban women. somebody said i don't know if the suburban woman likes you. i'm about law and order, i'm about having you safe, about having your suburban communities, i don't want to build low income housing next to your house. suburban women, will you please like me? please. please. i saved your damn neighborhood, okay? >> we now know from these results those appeals failed. support from sub

hud secretary dr.arson tested positive today after attending an indoor election night party at the white house with hundreds of others, where few were wearing a mask and none were social distancing. jake, now we are learning ben carson is not the only one in the president's circle. dave bossie, an adviser right now, a campaign aide in 2016, has tested positive for coronavirus. he was just tapped to oversee the legal challenges they are carrying out in several of these critical battleground states as they are fighting the outcome of this election. dave bossie who is in charge of that is quarantining at home and tested positive for covid-19. we are told he got a five minutes heads-up mark meadows who was called that the president was firing him earlier today. >> kaitlan collins, thank you. our best wishes to carson and bossie on their recovery from the coronavirus. >>> president-elect joe biden is focused on moving forward. >> the election is over. it's time to put aside the partisanship. it's time to en

of defense with pete buttigieg is eyeing and former deputy ag sally yates for attorney general and hudirector julio castro is in the mix for a number of roles. today obama expressed his confidence in his former vp's decision. >> he does not need my advice and i will help him in any way that i can. i am not planning to work on the white house staff reviewed the delayed transition is hampering planning to combat coronavirus as kobe cases sort across the country triggering discussion of a potential nationwide lockdown as one member of the biden task force suggested what the government income for workers, biden's team says it might not have to go that way. >> if we just lockdown the entire country without targeting our efforts, then we will exacerbate the pandemic fatigue, we will hurt jobs in the economy and we will shut down schools and hurt the education of our children. we have a scuffle rather than the blunt force of an ax review the transition team is coming up with the own distribution plan for a potential vaccine because they have been locked out of conversation with federal agenci

they want squad members, congress woman rashida tlaib as hud secretary and they want senator warren asury secretary but bloomberg reports that the top contender for that role right now is former fed chair, janet yellen. during the campaign, president-elect biden said he would bring normalcy back to the white house of. now we're getting an idea of what that's going to look like. a biden official tells me under a biden/harris administration, we can expect daily white house press briefings to make a comeback. arthel: who will get that job of delivering the briefings to the press? we will find out. hillary, thank you very much. eric. eric: for more on the transition to the transition, what it means for the incoming administration's agenda, michael len is with us, axios co-founder, former reporter for politico. you have been a long-time observer of the ways of washington. what are your concerns about the on obstacles the trump folks are throwing up ahead of joe biden? >> well, eric, thank you very much. and you and i have been talking for years about how this isn't normal and this is a new

the latest hud secretary ben carson as well as campaign adviser david bossie.ays after white house chief of staff mark meadows contracted covid-19 and more signs mr. trump's election night party could have been a supersprert. therapy split what to do next and staffers warned they will be fired if they look for other jobs and president and some of his allies are already talking about 2024. >> grover cleveland came back. donald trump should think about it if he falls short. >> reporter: a sign mr. trump may be starting to accept his immediate fate, a contrast with his comments so far. >> there has been a lot of is a nan gansz and -- shenanigans and we can't stand for that in our country. >> are you being a sore loser? president may be mulling other changes inside the administration as we talked about a few moments ago. the president was having discussions with top aides before the election about firing the fbi director christopher ray. i'm told by a source much of that discussion hinged on whether or not the president would win re-election at this point so it's u

>> no public events but his guidance says he's hud willing with transition advisers and he tried to push forward, despite the fact they're still stymied from a government perspective because the general services administration has not yet ascertained the results of the election. and i went back and started looking at the past timelines of ascertainment and when this has come in other elections. i want to pull it up for you and your viewers because what it tells is a story that this is pretty routine process that has now gotten a lot of spotlight and attention because this is one of the rare moments where it seems to have kind of gone off the tracks. look at the 2000 election, a race that was mired in legal proceedings for several weeks after election day. you'll notice on this list, though, that concessions really helped move the process along here. up no you know when gore concedes, bush is ascertained. this is a pretty mundane and benign process but like so many of those traditional mundane and benign processes in a trump error, tradition goes out the window. you're seeing the biden tr

carolinan to be in charge of the party and he wants more black appointees to serious departments, not just hudhough i think he has a candidate for that, too, but he wants to help name the head of agriculture. very important in south carolina by the way. he wants to help name the new attorney general who will be in charge of the justice department. this is -- you know, this is politics. this is as real as it gets. this is, you know, the old adage is you fight with your enemies before the election and then after the election you fight with your friends. >> two black women so far, the vice president-elect and the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. no black women in the trump cabinet. two in eight years of obama if my name is correct, lisa jackson and susan rice in two roles. quickly before we go, the threshold for biden, you expect, as you point out, it's not a number specifically, it maybe is the -- some of the marquee positions like we saw with secretary rice in state in the second term of george w. bush. >> that's right. in this case there's one very interesting possibility which is health and human

tested positive for the virus including the chief of staff mark meadows, corey lewandowski, david boise, hud secretary ben carson and who knows what else. we may not know about some folks. maybe they haven't tested yet. who knows. and where is the president? where is president donald j. trump anyway? where is he? where is the vice president mike pence? mike pence is the head of the task force? where is he? where are they? they want to claim to power they have no claim to and yet they are invisible do-nothings. trump -- i don't know if he's in a bunker, but he's certainly holed up inside the white house. he's tweeting, and he's watching the tv. hello. he's showing absolutely no leadership. you're not showing any leadership right now, president trump, outgoing president trump. same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was. looking desperately for a scheme to steal the election, yes, from joe biden, but really steal it from you, the american people. this office belongs to no man. the one man who did hold it, and that's the former president barack obama, tonight telling cbs news
