nicholas johnston, thank you very much as always. great to see you.how congress is going to handle a coronavirus outbreak. we have had at least seven members of the house since last thursday test positive and the senate left early for the thanksgiving break because they didn't have the votes because of people who are quarantining with covid. all while they have been unable to strike a deal to send help to the american people. so our government pretty broken right now with a president that's refusing to accept the election results and a congress that's having trouble functioning in the pandemic. >>> thanks for getting up "way too early" with us on this thursday morning. stick around, don't go anywhere because "morning joe" starts right now. >>> mr. meadows, are you looking at voter fraud in states that he won? >> we have a whole team looking at things. so i can't really speak to that. >> he can't really speak to it. white house chief of staff mark meadows after meeting with senate republicans yesterday, brushing off several reporter questions concernin

with a look at axios a.m., the editor-in-chief, nicholas johnston. good morning. be careful here because nbc news still has not called the presidential race which we have been walking everybody through this morning. but the biden campaign already seems to be thinking about the cabinet, particularly in a divided government because -- we have not called control of the senate, but it is looking increasingly likely republicans will hang on to control. >> yeah, today's "1 big thing" how a gop control would put some limits on the biden cabinet. it looks likely gop controlled senate is also in the cards. and of course the biden campaign has sort of set up the transition team, the website went live yesterday. so we're trying to get a sense of what they're thinking as far as the senate control. and what i really mean is some of the more progressive hopes particularly in the cabinet, those hopes have been dashed. two key names who would have a tough go is susan rice and stacey abrams who had been on our short list. but the good news, members of the senate or members of the

the prime minister boris johnston ordered a lockdown that will start this thursday and will end december. bar bars and restaurants can only offer takeout, nonessential shops must close and a new lockdown needs parliament's approval. the new restrictions could apply to england, other parts of the uk. they set their own public health measures with northern island already in lockdown and scotland under tough restrictions. >>> cases are liming here in california, as well, for the first time in more than a month. our positivity rate has topped 3.1%. you see it right there. we hit our peak back in july. it's not jumping up, but it's got a little bit, it's been trending downward since july, jumping up now. we dipped below 3%. but you see the line going up ever so slightly. today, the positivity rate stands at 3.1%. >>> new at 5:00, making a link between president trump's campaign rallies and the coronavirus. a new study found the rallies led to more than 30,000 confirmed covid-19 cases. that study was published by stanford university this week. it hasn't been peer reviewed yet, though. research

it covers like the current prime minister barak's johnston, who is out to get it. he was never underestimate the malice of a prime minister, who wants to destroy or beast reduce the power of the b.b.c., concept of a quick service. if the government has it in for the b.b.c., my advice is always try. if you see the enemy is movers. as its 1st director, general john reefed put it. the b.b.c. would serve the whole of the wealthy and the poor, the genius and the food. and it would report the news without fear or favor. mission statements are much easier to write the film. and it didn't take long for a conflict to sufis between the b.b.c.'s dependence on the government and its journalistic need to be independent from it. the b.b.c.'s news and current affairs output here in the u.k. is at the heart of that conflict. one that has various points in the network's history. its very existence there is a pub tension between the government of the day or whatever political color and that the b.b.c. . i've put it this way. the b.b.c. is independent of government pressure until suc

prime minister bonus johnston's defended his decision to impose a national lockdown in england critics including some from his own party say the measures go too far. i believe it was right to try every possible option to get this virus under control at a local level with strong local action and strong local leadership and i reject any suggestion that we are somehow slow in taking measures in our european friends and partners in fact we're moving to national measures when the rate both of deaths and infections for instance is lower than they were in france we are engaged as a country in a constant struggle to protect lives and livelihoods and we must balance the restrictions we introduce against the long term scars they lead whether for businesses and jobs or our physical and mental health several countries across europe are also imposing tough new restrictions as cover 1000 infections rise a so-called wave breaker shutdowns in force in germany while in portugal the government's declared a state of health and margin saying and those are the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeer

johnstone of the first maryland and stewart's brigade said scarcely had we reached the crook of the mountain than we were fired upon the enemy who were ambushed. four of company b fell and many others along the line. greene's skirmish line, 170 men under the command of john reddington of the 60th new york were no match for three confederate brigades. the skirmish line began to fall back. but it was risky business. darkness was falling. the skirmish line trading fire, smoke from their weapons began to cling under the canopy of the dense trees on culp's hill. visibility was lessening. and the nervousness of the men in greene's line further up the slope was growing. the commanding officers of the new york regimens were doing all they could to wait for the skirmishers to get back before some scared, nervous, tension-filled private fired off a round and the next and the next and friendly fire casualties may occur. the commander of that skirmish line recorded receiving the brigades of the confederates along rock creek. i therefore fell back slowly with my 170 men, i contested every inch of ground

joining me is author david cay johnston. thanks for joining us.024 announcement on inauguration day. i got to be honest. i just kind of rolled my eyes. i can't really hide it. that is the state of affairs at this moment. my first question is what are you expecting from a man that has $400 million of debt, possibly up to $1 billion in some reports we've seen? he's got to make a lot of money fast in order to make up some of this debt. where do you expect him to go come january 21st to make up that ground? >> well, first of all, i think the political vandalism you've been seeing from donald trump will continue after the inauguration of joe biden. that's simply not going to change. it's in donald's nature that he just can't do something else. you're absolutely right, yasmin, that he is going to need to raise cash. it's not clear that any publisher would buy a book from him and certainly not the kind he's done in the past that has often created his own reality and ignored facts. of valuable book from him would require him to stick to the record and don

points in 2016, he will need strong turnout today at precincts like this one, we are in clayton in johnston county, about 20 miles southeast of raleigh the president carried this county 2:1 in 2016 but take a look at the map for 2020 north carolina has 7.4 million registered voters. of those, 4.6 million have already voted. includes nearly a billion who voted absentee and about 140,000 absentee ballots are still outstanding. and polls suggest that the early voters favor joe biden the independents include seth per advi purvis, a recent college graduate he voted for trump in 2016 but this year he is voting for biden. >> just the constant gas lighting, the constant lying, the constant just ridiculous stuff that i've seen from this administration, eventually i actually started thinking about it and i just could not in good faith vote for somebody like that anymore >> so keeping up with the math, if president trump is to do well today and to narrow that gap, he needs to do well with the people who show up today, the 3.25 million or so that are left. and the poll suggests that the president will

gary johnston in 2016, jill stein. four points, three points, two points.'t see parties getting traction. voters more this time than in '16 did latch on to this as a choice between these two, trump versus biden. the other thing is true, trump as president, he became -- he did raise his favorable score from when he was a candidate. his unfavorable was and is very high as president. when he got elected four years ago on election day, he was 38% favorable, trump was. 60% unfavorable. that was on election day. he's actually when you looked at the polls this time around, he had gotten that favorable number into the 40s. he had gotten the unfavorable number into the low 50s. that was progress for him. it was still upside down. part of that, too, was people who had had a negative view of trump in 2016 but their politics were generally a lined with his. they were generally on the right side of the spectrum, republicans were over the last four years saying, okay, i'll kind of get on board with trump a little bit. there was some growth there. still, we talk about the

to match with election day turnout, places like this, clayton, north carolina, heavily republican johnston county, the message from the gop is getting the economy back to work that. struck a chord with restaurant manager diveurbanek. >> i think the economy in the same breath as the coronavirus is very important to me and i would throw a vote to whoever is going to get that economy humming again. >> take a look at the switch or the apparent switch in our cnbc change research states of play poll when it comes to getting people back to work this is still within the margin of error, but voters are now saying, or the respondents to this poll saying that trump and the republicans hold the edge. the poll also says that trump and the republicans hold the edge on dealing with the coronavirus. again, that's within the poll's margin of error, a late change we'll see if it's too late with so many of the voters here in the tar heel state already casting their votes. kelly? >> all right scott, thank you very much, sir. scott cohn in north carolina today. don't forgot to watch cnbc's special coverage of

votes today, and take a look at the scene earlier this morning at a heavily republican precinct in johnstontation opened in clayton at 6:30, there was a bit of a line that moved fairly fast and some trump voters did vote early, among them restaurant manager dave urbanek. >> i think the economy in the same breath as the coronavirus is important to me and i would throw a vote to whoever is going to get that economy humming again. >> reporter: so put it all together, it is a razor thin margin here in north carolina, our final cnbc change research states of play poll showing joe biden with a slight lead, but within the poll's margin of error, and the way the things are going to work out here, when they report the results, again, around 7:30, depending on when the other polling places close, they will report the early votes, and the mail-in votes received by 5:00 today first, so those results may very well favor joe biden, but then look for those margins to close up, as the day goes on, as you get the election day turnout that president trump and the republicans are counting on today. guys >> ye

johnston county went to 64-32 republican.omes in, north carolina is so close that it flipped it from being a biden lead to a drum played and from a cunningham lead to a tillis lead and we've got one other big county and then three smaller counties to come in. there is some stuff in charlotte and stuff in raleigh yet to come in but it's like a small percentage of the vote. this is going to be tight as a tick and we are literally going to be waiting here for all these little places you could never -- there is a county, up recommends, 63-39 -- excuse me, 34 in 2016. over on the atlantic ocean, small county, we haven't heard anything from that county. so big city versus the little counties and a couple of midsize counties. it's going to be a long night. >> martha: hello, kirkland. >> tromp won these states in 2016. small margin and as karl just mentioned, they are very close. >> bret: do you know anyone in kirkland? what do you think? >> i apologize, i don't know anybody. karl is going to give me a phone number to call. >> critic

they don't call 798, they call up myself, they call up chief johnston because they know that we're justtraight down the board. what's good for you is good for everybody, and so that's how we deal with things, so they'll come to us, so-and-so, this happened, and can you help me? they're not dues paying members, so obviously, i can't represent them as president of the black firefighters association, but i was a steward for 14 years and always a member with a union background, so i represent them in that way. when all is said and done, we should be treated equally and fairly, and not only getting in the fire department, but once we're getting in the fire department -- and i've talked to chief nicholson about this, and i've obviously talked to chief johnson about this, and i've had the opportunity to talk to chief velo about this, there was the chance with the command staff that people always got to get them prepared to get into certain positions, but african american members never got those calls. and i'm sure those calls happen now. lik like, calls to get people ready to get them in anoth

report on page two, the fire commission report on october 1st to october 31st, lieutenant johnston baxterand again there were remarks by the commissioners on how much we need and take in detail all of these reports because we do read it, we do digest it, and we do have questions, and we do have comments that beyond the greater fire report, i find that lieutenant baxter's report on the fire commission and the back of your docket, when it comes to the sections in the back of incidents, working fires and greater alarms, a monthly report to calls is comprehensive. so as i looked at lieutenant baxter's report, what stood out in my mind commissioners was then the month of october, from the 1st to the 31st by my indication of identification. i saw 17 encampment fires, in terms of water rescues, i saw 12. in terms of reports of alarm fires, they generally don't show up. in terms of the greater alarms, i saw 17 incidents. these greatly help chief rubenstein, in terms of identification to the commissioners, how much is happening with the department in a daily, weekly, monthly basis.
