he was a protege of john lewis and and so now he might also when he's leading and his race so there's just it's just a really historic moment and it's just shows the trajectory of georgia and that biden winning georgia wasn't a fluke and that the ground game was very important and they're still just one of those races so far has been been called so we still have to see if that 2nd seat is really going to go to the democrats or not it's so incredibly close what about the voters in georgia in terms of who's supporting the democrats who's supporting the republicans give us a breakdown of how the demographics are involved and you know in terms of of. distribution of votes right well there's definitely a shift in georgia is a it's a red state or it has red state d.n.a. but there's been a lot yeah republican d.n.a. but there is a lot of shifts people from the north and other more progressive states have moved in to pop it more populous areas and and georgia and you saw this when the. votes were coming in how all of a sudden there was a huge shift and more in act one and then there was anoth

john lewis, abraham lincoln.g on the one that was built for abraham lincoln when he left us. so, their connection. and they were so connected in terms of respecting the dignity and spark of divinity about every person. so, it is -- it is -- we feel he went there, joined elijah cummings and the rest and they're dancing with the angels to prove what they did to protect our democracy. >> and you mentioned elijah cummings, who is one of my favorites, i will admit, in this body. you are a baltimore girl. your dad served in this body in the house of representatives as well as being a mayor. i do wonder what you would have thought of -- is this where you thought you would be at this place in history, at this position you were in when you were a little girl in baltimore, is this where you thought you would be? >> no, i never, ever thought of it, and i was not -- we were taught that we had responsibility to other people and that you had to -- we were -- i was born into a family, very catholic, deeply religious, fiercely p

john lewis buried him. reverend warnock was john lewis's pastor. there's a reason that dr.me leaders in the movement, georgia was the center of this. it was the symbol of where blacks were treated less than human, had to sit in back of buses and the whole 9 yards. to see that election last night and as i said, it looks like trending that a jewish american will also win the other side, that black/jewish coalition that dr. king and rabbi abraham going to the u.s. senate, for voting rights and things donald trump tried to stand in the way of. weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. this morning, joy is coming. >> there's going to be a lot of preaching this morning. >> i think so. >> one last note, as you guys were talking, joe, about the impact of donald trump and his coming into the state, and the phone call he made on saturday to the secretary of state, gabriel sterling, who's the elections official we have come to know, a republican who said he would have preferred republicans win these races, he said yesterday in an interview looking at the prospect

john lewis was the conscience of the congress.e went to congress late in life but congress didn't shape him. he brought the same commitment that he had taken in the civil rights movement, the same courage that took him across the edmond pettis bridge. he brought that into the great debates in the congress. if the congress needed someone to speak to the conscience, i think the senate needs someone to speak to the soul. i'm not going to be dragged down into the mud. martin luther king sr. said no one can drag me so low as to hate them. so i will continue to put the people at the center of the conversation. the people that i'm running into, i was in comfort, georgia, a few weeks ago. those folks are worried because their hospital just closed in the middle of a pandemic and too often today, the politics have become about the politicians. we have a generation of professional politicians who are so focused on the next election that they're not focused on the next generation. i think the people of georgia deserve someone who will be thin

she would hold the seat once held by the late great john lewis. we're going to take a quick break. while we've been hearing from reverend warnock, steve kornacki has been burning up several phones. and we're going to be talking with him about the outstanding vote that remains to be coming in and why the numbers keep shifting a little bit. right now as i am checking it looks like the perdue lead over jon ossoff is down to 1,100 votes. the warnock lead over loeffler is up to almost 36,000 votes. more details, more numbers with steve when we come back. stay with us. with steve when we come back. stay with us i am robert strickler. i've been involved in communications in the media for 45 years. i've been taking prevagen on a regular basis for at least eight years. for me, the greatest benefit over the years has been that prevagen seems to help me recall things and also think more clearly.

harris are in we could get the george floyd justice and policing act signs and we could get the john lewis voting rights bill signed. so i'm thinking in a hopeful way as well. >> i want to get to hope. but i want to let my friend and colleague jason johnson ask you a question but i have one more question about yesterday. do you believe that your republican counterparts told the rioters where to go? congresswoman? the congresswoman froze. i asked that question because donna he had wars had some real suspicions about familiarity about hard to get to rooms in the capitol. jason, your thoughts? >> yeah, well, yeah, look, i think it is obviously an inside job. nicolle, you know the white house and you know the capitol better. i've been in the russell building a couple of types. these places are labyrinths and these folks were walking through like they have an instruction booklet like the new world of warcraft. some people were in touch with right wing elements within the police or members of congress, that is not hard to figure out. and i think we've all done this for years, if obama did this o

instead of a list with john lewis and fannie lou hamer and martin luther king. >> do you tell them that? >> absolutely. they made their decision today which list they are going to be listed upon for their children, for their grandchildren, for everyone. and i'm done with these people. you know, this idea that we do need to come together, i love people. i'm willing to work with anybody. but there are certain lines that you cross that just cannot be forgiven, and i will not forgive these people until they come to reconcile their own wrongdoing and apologize to us for putting us in this position, not just me being threatened physically, but the threat to our democracy is real. this is not a guaranteed democracy. it can fall apart. it can crumble. we saw evidence of that today, and these members of congress walking around, patting themselves on the back as if they're some sort of hero, give me a break. they're cowards. the only reason they did this is their own cowardice. they are afraid of the voters that they don't want to offend who wear the red hats. shame on them.

i gave it to john lewis, the weekend before he left us. and it's a flag of our country, a flag of the united states of america. one t says, one country, destiny, one country, one destiny. that was also what was lincoln'sd in abraham coat that he had on that fateful night. lincoln's party, one message, one country, one destiny. let us pray. i'm a big believer in prayer. let us pray there will be peace on earth and that it will begin with us. let us pray that god will continue to bless america. with that, let us proceed with our responsibilities to the constitution to which we have st within 72 hours taken the

to implement what john lewis put forward in ending voter suppression. that is what january 6 was about as well. voter suppression. and the list goes on. we have pulled out h.r. 4, which was part of h.r. 1, the voting rights act. that's very much a part of the spirit of that. the reason we're doing them separately, h.r. 6 needs to have, and we have provided it, with hearings all over the country. marcia fudge, now soon to be madam secretary. terri sewell, john lewis -- bless his heart when he was here -- all were part of establishing that record for h.r. 4, voting rights act, for now. so we're optimistic we'll pass both of them. it will give confidence to the american people that their voice is as important as anyone, that big money, which suffocates the airwaves, will no longer be the order of the day. and i thank john sarbanes for his tremendous leadership over long period of time. john larson was doing it earlier. now john sarbanes. both of them. and what's important about it is, it gives people the hope that, yes, we can have clean air and clean wate

in john lewis, we've are things changing on that front? john lewis purchase in thejohn lewis shops which have been closed, as you know, for nearly two weeks. you can collect them in waitrose. even though there was only a2 locations, we felt the marginal gain of not giving a further reason for people to travel was not overall helpful. they will also not be carrying out any in—home services to customers or theirfamilies. any in—home services to customers or their families. wasn't a decision reached by yourself? no contact with the government whatsoever. —— mike was it a decision? are your staff happy with this? yes, lots of positivity because they recognise the bounce you're trying to strike. thank you. the latest government figures show there were a5,533 new coronavirus infections recorded in the latest 2a—hour period which means on average, the number of new cases reported per day in the last week is 55,000 653. across the uk, an average of 32,000 people in hospital with coronavirus over the seven days to sunday, including suspected cases

then 15 years ago i returned to ebenezer baptist church where mlk served as the spiritual home of john lewisd our money for the united states senate against the wealthiest member of congress. only in america is my story even possible. [applause] i was with my mother earlier today. she is 82 years old. she grew up in georgia. do you know where it is? way across georgia. she spent her summers as a teenager taking somebody else's tobacco and cotton. but because this is america. the other day the 82 -year-old hands are used to pick somebody else's cotton protect her youngest son to be a united states senator. [applause] and now i'm running for the united states senate because i believe in the american promise. i know it is alive and well but it is slipping away from too many of our children. if you send me to the united states senate i will never forget the little boy who grew up and came home from the projects i will be standing up for him and all young people not just in the urban environment that will towns all across georgia. young people of the struggling families you need united states sen

but in john lewis' america, violence by anyone was never an option.ing. we'll see you back here monday. have a safe and good weekend. thanks for the company, america. good night.

john learned it from my old friend and yours, john lewis.ome the toughest trials that life can throw at us. he believes as i do, in the quote of a philosopher who said, fate sees best in the dark. the faith that enables us to overcome adversity. to lift each other up, to be a beacon of light to one another, and for the world. that iswho we are and what we should never give up on. i have said many times and i will say it here again. , and i saything again, there is nothing this country has not been able to do when we decide to do it together. we have faced tougher times before, and we have always overcome. we have always overcome. we have always come out better than we went in. no matter what. i know these -- i know this campaign has been exhausting. you put the hard work in over the last two years to get to this moment. it has been intense. it has been nonstop. but i am asking you to give everything you've got one more day. one more day. and that one more day is not a hyperbole. you can change america. so if you have not voted, boat. , then

to implement when john lewis put forth in ending voter suppression. that is what generally sixth was about as well, voter suppression. the list goes on. we have pulled out hr four, which is part of hr-1. the boating rights act. that is very much a part of the spirit of that. the reason we have done them separately as hr 60s to have, and we have provided it, with hearings all over the country. now madam secretary, john lewis, bless his heart when he was here, all or part of establishing that record for hr four, the voting rights act for now. so we are optimistic. we want to pass both of them. it will give confidence to the american people that their voice is important as anyone's. that big money that suffocates the airways will no longer be the order of the day. and i think john sir baines, for his tremendous leadership over a long period of time. john larson joined us earlier and now john saar baines paid what is important about it is it gives people the hope that yes we can have clean air, address climate crisis because big dark money will not domina

people ask me all the time if i'm going to join one group or to liveor how i'm going up to filling john lewis' shoes. another johnver be lewis and another nikema williams. know i have been sent there to be their voice. work with anyone who has great ideas, that will my districteople of because that's what i'm sent there to do. of the lewis, who is one insidest guys on capitol hill, without a doubt. ways and means committee. most freshmen don't get on the ways and means committee. what committees are you looking at or would like to serve on? ms. williams: so you are exactly right. get to serve don't on ways and means. so i do not have that at the top of my list. to have that oing opportunity. however, there's anyone listening who wants to put in a i will be willing to accept if it's offered. but i highly doubt it. to getting forward to congress and my -- one of my oversight ies is because for far too long, the have notf this country worked for people who look like me. i know i'm operating within a system that's not designed by who look like me or for eople like me, so oversight is an opportuni

of georgetown, interning for john lewis. right now emily wilkins joins us. surprised at the assertiveness of an elective no -- ossoff. >> obviously we are not calling anything at this time, but a key part of why everyone is confident is because they are coming from fairly democratic areas. point istation at this that 16,000 vote lead is going to continue to grow as those numbers come in. lisa: what are people saying about the turnout of the election, why the day of was disappointing and lead to fewer republicans turning at than expected. emily: a couple of different reasons. more than 3 million people did vote early, that means fewer people are there. if you vote in person madea. ,nother thing we are hearing there's a lot of talk about president trump, with his talk --ut fraud staying home leading voters to stay home and really read areas of the state. what do you see with your daily coverage, what do you see occurring for their of coupling -- for the republican party now. not on this historic day for senator mcconnell, but what does the republican party on

you know, i served with a guy named john lewis. who somehow held onto his faith when he faced vicious lies that were the law of the land. that were enshrined in law, that was beaten, mercilessly, knocked unconscious, had his head cracked open. and i remember right before i declared my candidacy, he gave me one of the greatest moments of my life, which i've got no -- i got into a car with him in atlanta and we went on a road trip to go see jimmy carter. and it was one of the more beautiful moments of my life to sit with two moral men who, now in their elder years, understanding that time is short, didn't necessarily always want to talk policy, but really wanted to speak to the soul of the others who might listen. and so if i can leave you with what john lewis -- and answer this question -- his gift to me is sometimes you can't get obsessed with winning and a victory. what you need to focus on is the next step. can i step with grace? can i extend empathy and compassion to even those who curse me and hate me? can i defend those who ma

strict, they want the rules more strict, they want the rules that exist now to be enforced and john lewiss without legally being required to do so. i think that if we can get to the next few weeks and get infections down, tragically, because of that lag between infections in hospitals, the position may be a lot worse. but if you can crackdown on this, as the secretary told the spectator in an interview. he said that the lessons they learned from the first lockdown without something to are just too inhumane. asking partners have been together for 50 years not to go to each other‘s funeral, something that they never want to bring in again. is hesitant for more restrictions because of the way that is reflected in the way businesses are reacting to the government guidance and they‘re trying to do their part to make sure that does not have to happen from a legal perspective. lot of police forces do not want to get involved in having to enforce this on top of everything else. get involved in having to enforce this on top of everything elsem would not be impractical to ask them to do it and the

listen to what president obama said about the filibuster a few months back during his eulogy for john lewis honor john? let's honor him by revitalizing the law that he was willing to die for. once we pass the john lewis voting-rights act, we should keep marching. and if all this takes eliminating the filibuster, another jim-crow relic, in order to secure the god-given rights of every american, then that's what we should do. >> christina, that clip is making the rounds, again. because there is a lot of talk about the filibuster. and i think it is a really tough concept, right, if you are not a technocrat, to sort of wrap your mind around. so, can you explain how the filibuster is a jim-crow relic, as you have president obama saying there. and why so many democrats think it should go, and why it is such a hot topic in this moment. >> well, it's a hot topic in this moment, alicia, because the democrats only have two years, realistically, of unified government. and then, they will possibly lose the house, and/or the senate. so, we know there will be gridlock, divided government. we will have a

the building walls, looted -- destroyed monuments including a display honoring late congressman john lewissmeared their feces in several hall ways and several brandished a confederate battle flag and extremist paraphernalia. i mean, laura, come on, is there any doubt this is incitement of insurrection. >> this is disgusting, it's deplorable, it's ridiculous, un-american, and it's also criminal. which is the part i focus on. the actions were not just spontaneous. not as if all of the sudden, all the stars aligned and suddenly these people happen to be in this location in this date and time following this rally. so with the president's words along with others at the rally who used words that encouraged or incited people to behave in this way in an attempt to delay what is already known to be a lawful activity, counting and certifying the votes, this is really a case book example what it means to engage in in behavior. you have attorneys in d.c. says no stones left unturned, and you his marching orderings to build sedition and conspiracy for these involved. including public corruption prosecu

joseph larry and congressman john lewis.during congressman lewi'' remarks in selma that reverend sharpton helped to hold the civil rights icon up as he urged americans to stay in the fight and to create quote, good trouble. it would be the last time congressman lewis visited the site of bloody sunday. nan also pays tribute to new york city mayor david and dinkins. his strong support of the mission and vision of the national action network was evident from the beginning. he was a trailblazer who broke barriers, restored stability and was committed to building bridges. we honor all of their legacies and continue the work. nan is just getting started. whether it is holding leaders accountable, feeding those in need, fighting on behalf of victims of police brutality or inspiring the next generation of civil rights advocates, national advocate -- nash nitric and -- national action network is ready for the next 30 years and beyond.

named after our dear friend, john lewis, and continue to fight back against laws that many states are engaged in to suppress the right to vote while expanding access to the ballot box for all eligible voters. because here's the deal. and i'll close with this. i ran for president because i believe we're in a battle for the soul of this nation. and the simple truth is our soul will be troubled as long as systemic racism is allowed to persist. we can't eliminate it overnight. we can't eliminate everything. but it's corrosive. it's destructive. and it's costly. it cost of american, not just who felt the sting of racial injustice we are not just a nation of morally deprived because of systemic racism. we're also less prosperous. we're less successful. we're less secure. which we must change. and i know it's going to take time, but i know we can do it. and i firmly believe the nation is ready to change, but government has to change as well. we need to make equity and justice part behalf we do every day. today, tomorrow, and every day. i'm going sign these executive actions to continue the w

joining us john avlon and erroll lewis. once again with us. these republicans, and we put their pictures up on the screen, they will fail. their efforts to undermine democracy and overthrow an election, they will fail today. however, the fact that they're trying is a stain. it is a stain on them. it is a stain on their legacy. what are you watching for today? >> i want to see how many senators follow through, exactly how many republicans in the house do this because we're looking at, you know, upwards of 2/3. 70%. 75% of house republicans doing this based on absolutely nothing other than donald trump's lies. there is no evidence to back up any sense of moral outrage other than the pain of losing and donald trump's refusal to admit it. and what he's asking mike pence to do, let's be clear about what it is, he's asking the vice president to try to steal the election. the good news is that he doesn't have the ability to do that. the good news is a that republicans don't have unified control over congress which they might, therefore, get away with

>> people said that john lewis was a problem when he was seeking justice. now we say john lewis was a saint. you have to do what is in the best interests of the country. you have to do what you know to be right. you know, i used to run a state agency and i remember one time i was talking to a guy about having made a finding against him. he said to me, we know we're going to be wrong, and i think these people know they're wrong. the question is whether or not they admit that they are wrong. this was as clean of an election as ever been in my lifetime, and we know that this president-elect won by over 7 million votes. that to me in any other country would be a landslide. a lot of us on my side are trying to reach out. i just proposed legislation the other day to make lift every voice and sing a national hymn. >> right. >> that to me would be a unifying effort to our part. i would hope to get bipartisan support for that. >> great idea. >> it is time for us to sit down and do the things necessary to bring us together, and that's something that would bring us to

certainly a majority for the john lewis voting rights act as well. if americans want to get to a stage where executive orders signed by the last president are not done away with the first day of the next administration, well, they need to talk to their lawmakers and encourage them to actually pass legislation. >> yeah. >> yeah. that he wants the thing about an executive order. it is subject to the whims of the next executive. it can be taken away with the stroke of a pen like it was put into effect with the stroke of a pen. as mika said yesterday on the day of his inauguration, we set a new record for the number of deaths from covid. he will have to put this plan in place quickly. push to get vaccines out to people. and jonathan lemire, as you look at this new president, we will get some early tests, won't we, about whether this senate or congress is what he hopes it is. 50/50 split with a tie-breaker from kamala harris is control by democrats. we will learn if joe biden's relationships with many of the senators is divisive, if it's important as many

cast their ballots for a fairer accountable and more compassionate america inspired by our beloved john lewis senators elect were not and also off hunger for justice will bring necessary. good trouble to the senate. >>their speaker referencing. >>the change as we know those 2 republicans that have gone down went down holding on to donald trump and his claims that the whole election was fraudulent depend much of their campaign on that issue and they will. >>they say they're going continue that effort today because we know they're going to be joining a handful of other republicans in congress in their attempts to block congress from certified president elect joe biden's victory jessie tenor is in washington dc with the latest. >>one of the most chaotic and the usual base in the history of the united states congress democrats like tennessee congressman steve cohen will present a united front this afternoon to defend president elect joe biden's win against a group of president trump's allies says. >>probably the most vicious attack ever domestically since the civil war on our united states govern

hr 1 which is the for the people act and hr 4, john lewis act. we're looking at both of those.o move. frankly, i think hr one is the broader piece of legislation that covers a variety of voting matters. it may move first. both of them should be given the highest attention. your guest, john brennan, the former cia director, said what we saw january 6th is something he has seen with countries on the path to democracy. i think we have to recognize this country is still on the path to democracy. voter suppression did not start with trump, it has been around a long time. we have to get on with urgency to the democracy issues that left us so vulnerable. yes, i think moving both those pieces of legislation has to be added to the list. >> and so there's a couple blocks. the covid piece is huge, we're talking about potentially a half million people could be dead of covid by february, which is horrifying to think about the numbers of dead and americans being like waving it off. when it comes to the mask mandate piece of this, how much latitude in federal law do you think that president b
