vanessa, alex, chris, andre and john from my family and elizabeth edwards who is so remarkable and strong and so smart. john and kate to win out there on their own just like my daughters stud, and also emma and jack were up beyond their bedtime just like a lot of us. i want to thank my crewmates and my friends from 35 years ago, that great brand of brothers that crisscrossed this country on my behalf in 2004. thank you. they have the courage to speak the truth back then and they spoke again this year, for that i will be forever grateful. thanks also, as i look around here to friends, family, this is a lifetime. some are from college, friends made across the years and then all across the miles of this campaign. you are so special. you brought the gift of your passion for our country and the possibilities of change and that will stay with us and with this country forever. thanks to the democrats and republicans and independents who stood with us, and everyone who voted, no matter who their candidate was. and thanks to my absolutely unbelievable, and dedicated's staff led by a wonderful campaign manager mary beth cahil

the more confidence and trust we can have that any approved vaccine will be both safe and effective. kate >> dr. john, thank you. >>> this is a thanksgiving like none other for health care workers, so many sacrificing their own holiday to help others and as hospitals reach their breaking point some patients are finding a lot to be thankful for gabe gutierrez has more on that. >> reporter: tonight in hospitals across america, no break from the virus but a flood of gratitude for those on the front lines >> i was finally discharged after 44 days i am thankful to all the staff, nurses, p.a.s and doctors who took care of me and made sure that i cam home to my family. >> i'm grateful on the new lease on life i have received. covid destroyed my lungs and i was able to receive two new lungs in a transplant. >> reporter: and as hospitals face staffing shortages this holiday season, there's more relief on the way. did you ever think you would end up here in north dakota >> absolutely not. this is unforeseen. >> reporter: this thanksgiving captain ron gulembowski is among the air force nurses working in the cov

and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the journalist kate proctor, political editor of politics home and the broadcaster john stapletonwelcome back both of you. let's flip through some of the news. good news on the front page of the times. ‘vaccination rescue plan is given a fresh boost‘ is its headline after britain bought five million doses of the most promising coronavirus jab so far. the i calls the vaccine, by us firm moderna, a "new hope for an end to the pandemic". the independent calls it the ‘most effective yet‘ after early results suggseted the vaccine has an almost 95% efficacy rat. an almost 95% efficacy rate. the vaccine is on the front page of the financial times too. they quote moderna's chief medical officer as saying the results are a ‘home run‘ for mrna technology. but as the guardian points out, the uk nearly didn't have access to the vaccine. the government bought 5 million doses today after initially opting out. the telegraph says ‘lockdown looms over christmas‘, after health secretary matt hancock said it was too early to know whether the current lockdown restrictions were working. there‘s better

kate. joe biden is making a stop in cleveland tomorrow. campaign sources tell me they believe ohio may be within reach. and the campaign announced today that both johnand lady gaga will join the democratic candidates and their spouses when they return to pennsylvania tomorrow to close out the campaign. kate, jose? >> geoff bennett in philadelphia. thank you. >>> the president's next stop today is in georgia. a state that's usually considered reliably red. but not this year. kamala harris was also making her case there today. blayne alexander joins us from atlanta.ów blayne? >> reporter: jose, there's been nearly 30 years since georgia went blue in a presidential election, this is typically not a battleground state but the polls show the two candidates virtually tied. now with record-breaking early voting numbers they're both here trying to make their final case. in just 48 hours, today we're seeing president trump hold a rally, senator kamala harris holding a separate rally. tomorrow, former president barack obama and just last week joe biden. so, all of this of course trying to appeal to voters. early voting turnout has been record breaking. nearly

john rivers. happened to be a childhood friend of tom waring, watched kate waring grow up. john rivers told the police chief he was worried about kate, too. >> and he told me that, you know, they got a lot of stuff going on. >> sure. >> but that he would assign his best and brightest to the case. and i felt pretty good about that. >> but now almost two months later, kate was still missing. and the investigation such as it was had accomplished nothing. and john rivers couldn't stand what it was doing to his best friend, tom waring. >> i could see that he really was having a hard time functioning. >> so rivers picked up the phone again and told this man, "do what it takes." his name is andy savage, former prosecutor, now famously tenacious criminal defense attorney. savage had heard about kate, too, and how police had no evidence of any crime. really? >> as soon as we scratched the surface just a little bit, we were absolutely convinced that foul play was involved. >> savage was given just two mandates -- find kate waring, tell police everything you find. that last part, keeping the police in the loop, should be easy, figured andy, given the team

you don't want to be the person who has lost or is losing and trying to appeal to the supreme court to save you. > kate shaw, quickly, johnoberts, chief justice john roberts also probably doesn't want to get in the middle of this for the sake of the court. >> i think that's right. chief justice roberts cares a great about the court's legitimacy and doesn't want them at the center of a political fight and see if another other members of the court agree with him that the court might try to find a way not to step into the middle of this dispute potentially to hand over to congress responsibility for deciding some of these disputed elections or essentially saying what it didn't say 20 years ago these are state law questions and the supreme court has no rule in resolving them so that is possible and of course the huge x factor is the newest member justice amy coney barrett. we don't know what she would do. >> whether she'll even join the case, thank you very much, michael. >> george, so much attention being paid to the presidential election. there's a lot of other elections going on and a big night of firsts across the nation.

kate bedingfield, john pierre. i get to come back on a second angle and it seemed like most of the emails guy at -- it seemed like the normally when you write a story, you have to wait for your competitor to say we're going to advance this story for you this way, so now there's the three candidate with the slight nod to bedingfield. remember in 2009 he picked jay carney, a journalist so there could be that possibility there. kasie? >> yeah. very interesting. and kate bedingfield as you point out got close to him and ran the communications strategy around his fight in south carolina where he really actually sealed or at least took the first major step toward winning the nomination and that was seen -- i mean, it was a risky strategy to pull him out of new hampshire and take him down to south carolina but it seemed to have worked in the end. let's talk about who we can see fill out advisers in the white house, particularly we'll hear from biden today on the economy. what are you guys reporting or what have you learned about how joe biden wants to balance that? he obviously was not necessarily the most progressive in th

and kate bedingfield, kate and jen and i started working together in the 2004 election. i worked with her on the john edwards campaign and two or three presidential campaigns and in the white house when she worked for vice president biden. she's someone who understands president biden. really relies on her. she's a very trusted adviser. the press know that about her but she also has a lot of experience in figuring out how you best communicate it all. the communications job of the president, not just the staff, is a big responsibility. there's a credibility that biden has to restore. and this team understands what that charge is and has a lot of experience in doing it. it's an all-female pick but an all-star pick. and the best people for the job just happen to be women. >> you know, i think it's fair to say that having dealt with all of these people for years and years, you're absolutely correct in all of this. the credibility with reporters is really important. and the knowledge of the principle who is, of course, the president of the united states, bedingfield could not be closer and have a better w

and the registration itself. that's a whole different system that makes it impossible really to validate the signature. one person could sign the same name -- i could sign john smith. i could sign kate smith. i could sign on both things and run 50 ballots that way and we've got evidence of that being done as well. rudy, do you want to speak to the other part of it? >> sure. we have now three overvote insides done, one for pennsylvania. one per michigan. one for wisconsin. i'm sorry. georgia. we're in the process of doing theths. i'll check to see if it's appropriate for us to make it public. i imagine it is. you could do it yourself. >> a lot of the analysis comes from the real time data that came through to the news media. the night and following the election and some entrepreneurs out there have started crunching data themselves in addition to multiple experts who could easily recognize with the mathematical brain i do not have that beyond explicable deviations to the point of mathematical impossibility that 186,000 votes come in at once all for joe biden -- that's like flipping a coin 186,000 times and it lands on heads every time. that does not happen. there is no reasonable exp

kate: and one question you may not be able to answer, but i think it's interesting. john wants to know, our mortality and morbidity data collected by the u.s. government about any of these servicemen and women? is it classified? is it still classified? has it been released? yeah, i am not qualified to enter that, unfortunately -- answer that, unfortunately. isnow the reduction agency in charge of giving out certificates for people who qualify as atomic veterans. however, those certificates do not actually promise any benefits. there's a lot of letters to it, i believe -- players to it, i o it,ve -- layers t i believe. kate: and we will end this interview with this question from joan. is there anything -- from these experiences? reading, ended up after lincoln grahlfs, if you search his name. he doesn't use his first name, he just uses s. grahlfs. he has a memoir, wrote a book, published, talks about his experience from world war ii until now. people,that, the naav they have a letter that they do every month. they do include stories. and so that is all on their website. an

and finally... kate, start. let's do american history for $600. john. what is the cio? that's it. american history, $200.

one woman and it campaign manager kate bedingfield will serve as a communication director and confirmation director jen will be the press secretary with former chief of staff kamala harris, johnerving as deputy press secretary, kaman sanders, formerly bernie sanders campaign is being named senior advisor and chief spokesperson to the president, we expect more announcements on the economic front, janet yellen will secretary, biden attends to nominate for the center of american progress for office management and budget. questions linger about the timeline for other big post, the national security positions have really been named but one big position that is missing in that announcement was biden's choice for secretary of defense. there are several contenders, michelle is considered to be the leader in that group to head up the pentagon, she would be the first woman to do so the former secretary homeland security jay johnson is also in the running and he would be the first lack secretary, he is under consideration for attorney general, biden is under pressure with james clyburn with the black voter turnout provided said the incoming administration needs to get black people more

john, have we got you back? kate was saying it's not a good look for the british government that we didn't even order this new vaccine which has been revealed today, and and ijust pointed out, in the government was not defence, they had ordered 350 million doses from six other developers, so they have hedged across a range, really. that's right. i didn't hear what kate said, because the line went down, but i agree, they have got doses on order from six other soui’ces, doses on order from six other sources, and mr hancock's argument in the press conference this afternoon was they went for the things which will be available first, talk about the possibility of one vaccine ring available before christmas and others being rolled out early in the new year. but it doesn't look good, when you bear in mind they also turned down the opportunity tojoin mind they also turned down the opportunity to join the europeans in a joint buying project in the summer, and it did appear on the face of it at least as though this was a last—minute gesture to climb on board, let's get 5 million, at least we will have this vaccine, which arguably theoretically is better than th

john harwood is tracking this for us. >> this is new reporting from kaitlan collins, kate bennett and betsy klein that document the tollampaign and the inattention of the white house to the coronavirus, not just on the president, the first family, the white house chief of staff, multiple white house aides, multiple top campaign aides. there have been several waves at the white house. but this is also affecting the people who put their lives on the line to protect the president, the vice president and other officials in depositions. this reporting is that several dozen u.s. secret service agents either have the coronavirus or are in quarantine. many of those agents do not know themselves how many other agents have been infected because this is not -- they are not getting specific details of this. we got a statement from one of the secret service spokespeople who said that we're taking necessary precautions to put people in quarantine if they have had close contacts, but there has been zero impact on the mission, staffing levels are high enough to compensate for that. there are about 7600 members of the u.s. secret servi

years ago there were just 10000 votes and she did not challenge the outcome all right thank you john hendren in lansing michigan let's go straight to kimberly how kate covering the trial campaign from washington d.c. kimberly so joe biden getting closer to 270 what's the reaction from the white house from the campaign to michigan being called in favor of finding. down charges not accepting these results in fact the u.s. president and more specifically his children as part of his campaign have held a news conference in philadelphia pennsylvania they are alleging that there are improprieties to the count that took place in michigan and as a result they are not only calling to have their own observers look at some of the votes that have already been tallied but they're alleging that some of those votes tallied may have been manipulated how many votes really have to be. 400000 is not enough with 80 plus percent counted i think there's only 14 percent of the vote to go if you think we're stupid you think we're females you know something the democrats do think you're stupid and they do think you're fools and that's why you get called deplorable and chomps

and the process is moving. they think they will get it done. >> let's go, kate, appreciate it. we will check back in as soon as we get more votes coming in. johne kate saying 45,000 more votes being counted. can you look at that area in philadelphia? >> you pop it out again. you're in central city philadelphia, always blue, and always blue by a lopsided margin. this is why in the biden campaign they say be patient. they think they have the map to overcome this. we went through this in 2016. late in the night the clinton campaign thought wisconsin and michigan would flip back. they didn't in the end. but we counted them and we got to the end. that's what we need to do here. is the biden math right? we know they're overwhelmingly disproportionate democratic votes. the mail-in votes in pennsylvania, entire commonwealth. if you think about the city of philadelphia and democratic areas around it, it is reasonable to assume the ballots left in this area are going to be -- look how the vote is coming in so far. 78% if you round up, 22% if you round that up. lopsided for joe biden. there's no reason to assume that will change. especially because we kn

. >> and kate, it's john. wolf stepped away for one second. so let's just walk through this.ntioned it could be 3,000, which could be decisive in the state of pennsylvania. walk our viewers through who might not have been with us through the hours into yesterday or the day before, so there's 3,000 ballots of the 20,000 remaining and these are mostly mail-in ballots or all mail-in ballots? >> reporter: these are all mail-in ballots, john. i know you know this, but for our viewers, these are mail-in ballots that they keep until the end of the process because they require a second look. they have an issue that needs to be reviewed and addressed. how they talk about them here in philadelphia, they talk about them as problem child ballots. it's just kind of the way they term it. these are things -- i'm just going to continue to refresh as we talk. these are things like there's a missing date, people put their birth date in the place where they're supposed to put the current date, they have miss in home addresses, they signed the wrong part of the envelope. these are all issues tha

and when that update happens. alisyn. >> kate, thank you for explaining all of that. and we will await updates from you. thanks for all of that. johnt ignoring georgia, nevada and arizona but we're sticking with pennsylvania because this alone could give joe biden a victory. this right now alone is where votes are being counted this morning. let's take a look at pennsylvania, where the votes are? >> i'd add another additional element, this alone has it heading in joe biden's favor. all eyes are staring at this wall, maybe on this wall or google maps trying to get a better suense of why it's outstanding. why has the race not been called and for the time being why is joe biden leading by 20,000 is that going to stick? that's going to grow. allegheny county, home of pittsburgh. we had a discussion with an official earlier talking us through what was outstanding there. if you're the biden campaign and you listen to that conversation, you feel very good. 20,000 outstanding ballots. the reality for the entire state of pennsylvania, not unlike wisconsin or michigan, those ballots are heavily democratic. that has been the crux of why joe b

because when you're talking about the margins you and john are talking about, every single one of these ballots and votes matters. >> you're absolutely right, kateh. we'll check back with you. normally you and i have covered a lot of elections, we've seen 93% of the vote, one person has a 90,000 vote lead. we naturally assume, well, that looks pretty good. it's almost over, right? >> right. because you crunch that math and joe biden needs to win 63% to 65% of the votes remain. well, he's not getting 63%, 65% of the vote total right now. normally you'd say forget about it except this is the unusual unorthodox election and joe biden has just said he needs somewhere between 63% and 65% depending on the exact number of ballots still out there. well, in the vote counted today -- in votes counted today joe biden is getting 78% of those votes. democrats voted disproportionately by mail. so you ghans at that number in a normal election you'd say doesn't work, the hill is too steep, no way you're going to get 63%, 64% of the vote when your count is at 49. however, just today joe biden is getting 78% of the vote. so he's exceeding what he needs in the vot

as i mentioned, john was supposed to come here in april and thankfully we've been able to work with our colleagues in the distance learning team, chrissy and kate, to bring these programs to you all. this one, specifically, has to do with our theme of the end of the war, the 75th anniversary of the end of the war. we will get right to it so we can get as many of the audience questions asked and answered by john. i will start off with a handful of my own questions. john, let's give the audience a brief summary for those who have not yet read the book. give them a brief summary of dogfight over tokyo, please. >> dogfight over tokyo explains the story of the last four americans to die in war combat in world war ii. and that, i don't mean to say they were the last four men today. ever. this is in combat. we had thousands, obviously, a veterans who, through the decades have passed away from injuries and wounds the received during the war. these were the last four to be in a combat action, and then die. so, i tell, with the story of those four, i also interweave with that the story of the air group, of which they were apart. a group 88, and you and i

mentioning including kate bedingfield being named the white house communications director, jen sachi, who will be standing behind the podium as press secretary, and also kareen johnierre who is being named the principle press secretary. looking ahead to what else to expect on monday, the biden transition team is expected to formally announce key members of biden's feature economic team, including janet yellen who is expected to be named husband treasury secretary. she would be the first woman to serve in that role if she is confirmed. two other names worth mentioning, neera tanden, she is going to be named biden's head of the office of management and budget and also cecelia rouse who will be named head of council of economic advisers. of course it's worth noting this is a group of women who will have their work cut out for them because they'll be spearheading the recovery effort in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. >>> joe biden's victory in wisconsin was re-affirmed after a recount was completed in one of the state's largest counties. that didn't stop mr. trump from ranting about non-existent election fraud on fox news. here's just a little. >> the whole wo

john: no specific comment that i came across. i read a lot of diaries and letters, and i did not see one. jeremy: great. and i see our wonderful helpers, chrissy and kate, have just put the link to your book in our store. of course, that's on our website or support the museum's educational mission. we hope you check that out. we have a question from anthony, who was watching the zoom here. do we know whether the japanese pilots who attacked our planes knew that the emperor had surrendered before they took off? how much after the broadcast of -- did the -- broadcast of the emperor's surrender message did the dogfight occur? john: yeah. the high likelihood is how i'll it. i can't say with 100% certainty, but yes, they knew about it, and they went out hunting for something. i didn't find anything in any records of that air group that indicated that they were going out to seek vengeance, but it's likely that that was the case. in my book, that's how i put it. it could've been for some other reason. maybe they didn't know about it, but probably they did. jeremy: we have another question from mike here. he's interested in the research process for the strike

and it would not surprise me at all if they finished it up today. >> we will watch it closely, kate. thank you very much. 10 to 15 minutes could get john20,000 votes. right now trump is ahead by about 18,000 votes. >> talking about statewide so you can see that, he is ahead by 18,049, if you get 20,000 votes joe biden has been winning over 80% of the votes when we get them, so if it's 80/20 the president trump would still be in the lead when you count 20,000 votes, but just barrel. so the question is how far north? kate says north of 20,000 votes, is it 25,000 votes, is it 30,000 votes, if it's 30,000, 80% plus for joe biden just that vote count alone could change the map. we will see. let's count them when they come in. 18,000 vote lead, 18,000 and change and you have as you noted in your conversation with kate 50,000 still to come. if we get 20,000 plus the lead is in peril, number two it will tell us are we continuing the pattern. if you are president trump you've been watching in the last 12, 15 hours this snowball coming down a hill with joe biden getting 80% when they bring in these votes, 80% when they bring in more votes, somet

john, 2 to 3,000, mail-in ballots, they'll release that fairly soon. then the 40,000 as kate says, provisional ballots, they have to check to make sure they're real and worthwhilemost elections in the united states of america, those numbers, provisional ballots are counted days or a week after. they're not part of the conversation when you try to pick a new mayor or city council or school committee. we are picking the president of the united states. when philadelphia counts votes, joe biden is in the lead statewide, knows that will add to it. that's why we're in this conversation. again, provisional ballot if you don't understand, say you show up at pam brown elementary school and you moved, they don't have you on the voting roll, you say you registered to vote, changed your address. they say fill out a provisional ballot, we'll check to make sure you didn't vote in the old district and not voting twice. once they check that, they count the ballot. find something wrong, they don't count it. happens all the time. the reason they get attention, in the state it could decide the presidency, even perhaps by end of the day, joe biden has 9,746 vote lead. they have a
