so there's a sense of urgency in doing things but there are trends against working against it matthew biden promised in his inaugural address i quote to repair relations with allies in order to jointly address present and future challenges your opening statement cast doubt on the success of the repair effort as it were which president future challenges do you think are going to be especially thorny for the transatlantic alliance well to begin i would say north stream too which is the pipeline between russia and germany that has been a thorn in the side of the u.s. and many other. german allies in europe for many years germany has shown no signs of being willing to let go of that project that will remain a problem. mentioned the investment in defense in germany that will remain an issue but i think the really big looming issue is china the united states sees china as a massive threat to the western world and to the stability of the world as a whole europeans. don't appear to agree with that assessment this is a consensus in the united states between democrats and republicans we just saw the

. >> matthew, biden said that his transition team is having trouble with the department of defense anding. the defense department denies that, and they are cooperating. is there a danger you see to national security? >> absolutely. there's a danger domestically with how we'll handle covid and this is the most important moment in the pandemic crisis right now. if there's not a good transition and competency that's being shared, it harms us and harms us internationally with other countries and we worry about america's place in the world. they've lacked trust in the current president's leadership. yeah, it's absolutely a huge problem in the midst of our country. i think joe biden -- i would say one thing about covid and the pandemic for joe biden demonstrating internationally and domestically. fdr, when he took office in the midst of a major crisis, he figured out what he had to do first was rebuild trust in the government's ability to do the job. that's what he did in the first six or nine months. joe biden if he handles the covid -- it's off to a difficult start because of the transitio

biden. at matthews cathedral for a prayer service, cleared not that the nation's second catholic president takeshe power. the question is the hopes can biden emulate. good morning. annmarie: good morning. yeah, he invited mitch mcconnell to join him on that side of unity is what he wants to express today as he begins his administration as the 46th president. he will be sworn in around noon eastern. he will give his full address to the nation, his first address as president. the ceremony begins at 11:00 eastern. like all life these days, the pomp and circumstance goes virtual this year. before he goes over to the white house, and we do think he will sign a number of executive orders on day one, he is going to the tomb of the unknown soldier. he will be joined by the bush family, clinton's and obamas. one day missing, president donald trump will not attend the inauguration. a stark contrast to modern-day inaugurations we have seen in american history. manus: absolutely. trump has never conceded, as you said. he never conceded this election. there was a farewell video last night which nods to the b

. >> as we wait for president-elect biden to go to the cathedral of st. matthewfor air force one to leave from joint base andrews, let's bring in john bolton, who was president trump's national security adviser. mr. bolton, ambassador bolton, thanks for joining us. what was your reaction to what you heard from outgoing president trump there? >> well, i don't think it varies much from what he said for the past couple of months. i think it falls into the category of, it could have been worse, like much of his administration. but i think it underlines something that i've listened to a lot of television this morning. a lot of the president's critics and a lot of the president's supporters haven't yet appreciated. the supporters not really believing he's about to depart. the critics being unwilling to give up the fun they've had for the past four years and i don't take second chair to anybody in being a critic. i wrote a 500-page book about him. but the fact is that at noon, in just a little over three hours, he will go from sitting in the most powerful office in the

biden attends church at saint matthews, we have jeanne zaino and rick davis. we have the automobile leaving blair house. esther and misses biden moving off to search -- church. the symbolism we have here this morning, the differences of this visit to a church, versus a visit by the president to a church during the riot and storm of black lives matter is so stark. jeannie: by design, the incoming biden administration has been making the case for bipartisanship. this is someone who spent his life in the senate. he understands he can send a huge immigration bill to congress may be as early as today, to sign over a dozen executive orders to combat the coronavirus. he understands he will need the support of republicans with the senate so narrowly divided. i agree with kevin, as he tries to use the trip to the church symbolically, and he will be accompanied by members of the leadership on the republican side to make the case for bipartisanship, and we will hear an awful lot about unity in his speech today as well. tom: maybe some prayers in the republican party as th

joe biden himself is attending mass at the moment at st. matthew'srea connection, father kevin o'brian, also the president of santa clara university, is saying that mass this morning. this is a live look outside of the church at this time. a lot of officials there. we'll continue to follow as they are expected to depart in probably the next half hour, i'd say. so it's 6:25 right now. >>> here is a look at your first look at the two commemorative inauguration sections from "the washington post". look at the top right, it is madam vice president. president-elect biden on the cover and president-elect harris on the cover as well, madam vice president. >>> the state capitol in sacramento locked down over concerns over violence surrounding today's inauguration. let's go to "today in the bay's" bob redell. fortunately the capitol's been peaceful over the last couple of days. >> reporter: let's hope it stays that way, scott. there are concerns that extremist groups like the boogaloo boys could show up, president-elect joe biden's inauguration who they false

matthew, we may break off in just a minute, we are expecting joe biden to speak live at that celebratingngress. clearlyjoe biden will have an enormous say over that will not do you think it will actually happen? it will be so problematic from the point of view of unity, isn't it? jt point of view of unity, isn't it? , , ., ., , , , it? it is up to congress. it is auoin it? it is up to congress. it is going to _ it? it is up to congress. it is going to be _ it? it is up to congress. it is going to be no _ it? it is up to congress. it is going to be up to _ going to be up to the senate, notjoe biden, but it is important to get onto the truth of what happened and what happened onjanuary of what happened and what happened on january six of what happened and what happened onjanuary six in order to reconcile as a country. so i do think may need to happen for the country to reconcile we need to look at the truth and then deal with what's actually happening. matthew, you are there in los angeles. if this was a normal inauguration, i'm sure that you will be here in washington attending one of the

at present a trump there addressing his supporters will head of his inauguration joe biden attended mass at st matthews cathedral in washington while on perhaps the most important day of his life joe biden and his family were joined by congressional leaders from both the democratic and republican parties a sign of the bipartisanship joe biden hopes to foster during his presidency. i can take you now to d c. salat is standing by all over outgoing president trump has left the white house give us a sense of the significance of this moment. it's a very significant moment the end of one of the most unusual and also divisive presidencies in the united states as you know leaves the country in a very dire condition and also a bit a very unusual feel well that we just heard him speak here they are at a joint base andrews near washington d.c. bragging about his successes claiming success for developing the vaccine for instance which of course is not true no word of all the 400000 killed is 9000 victims in the united states alone so a dire condition he of course sees it differently and he said also we will be bac

jill biden at st. matthew's church.lago where we did a story yesterday where even in florida they're saying, wait a minute, not so fast, not so fast. it's going to be interesting to see what happens to trump after he leaves office. >> yeah. and will he feel a weight without the presidency and the protections that come with the presidency from legal exposure, civil, and criminal? >> what air strstrikes me, too,n when we were dealing with the assault on the capitol, you could wonder that day whether you'd see this play out. >> yeah. >> you know? there was a lot of question about whether you'd see the president leave in an orderly fashion. but now it's even more powerful to -- >> and to that point, several trump advisers that i've spoken to in the last couple of days, they hoped he would say president biden's name, say kamala harris' name, he didn't. what they would tell us all is it's the best he could do. >> the best he could do. >> it's the best he could do. did he end as best as we might hope? these are trump supporter

host: president-elect biden and misses biden are still in st. matthew'sof the other congregants have left already, participants have left already. the president elect is still inside saint matthews, that's eight blocks north of the cap of the white house and the next stop will be the capital where a lot of people are arriving. we will continue to show you everything that is going on while we hear your voices about what you would like to hear with regards to american unity which is the theme of this inauguration or if you want to talk about a past inauguration as several viewers have we would love to talk about that. tom is in toronto, go ahead. caller: good morning, thanks for having me on. host: what do you want to talk about? we are listening. caller: i think that ultimately we are going to hear biden touch on the issue of unity. what i would like to hear that i'm not too hopeful about is three issues. the first is the debt of the united states, the second being trust not just in the media in the united states but in the government itself. the third one

matthew's cathedral where joe biden and his family are having morning prayers. dana, you mentioned just how different this inauguration is. you think about this. during a pandemic and covid times, i over the six inaugurations i've covered every time we show up in the pre-dawn hours there are tens of thousands of people on the national mall. tens of thousands of others trying to go through security. no one is here today. in the assembly behind me you see sets of three chairs here and three chairs there, two here. those are for members of congress and their invited guests. they expect the maximum number of people to be of 2,000. 200 have been directly invited on behalf of kamala harris and joe biden. a very different scene, dana. >> dana: just the feeling in the city. there is usually a buzz and excitement and there is going to be inauguration plans and parties. the parade and inaugural balls. you can see there on your screen on the mall instead of people they have planted flags. american flags. it is quite a beautiful sight. they did a nice job. they had people r

first t step away from the republicans into endorse joe biden, i wouldn't be surprised if he has somebody who's a republican onboard. >> matthewsolution is also for president-elect biden, and it's kind of the opposite of leslie' prayer at he can work with republicans, but more importantly he needs to stay away from the woke social justice warriors and his party and online it would be good for the country is he doesn't look into them and it would also, help his presence and see if he ignores the loud voices on twitter. >> looking at perhaps a 50/50 senate or certainly a very slight majority and also a very narrow majority in the house tower they going to get things done? >> they won't. new matter how it georgia goes, we are looking for very little to be done in washington over the next two years may be another covid bill, it may be a infrastructure plan, but the truth is that after all the tim walt and the nation in the capital for the last 20 years, at the last two years without much happening might be exactly what the doctor ordered. >> ,byron, let me bring you in that question looking at a 50-5 split in the senate, how will

involving china again potentially trying to buy influence with the biden family in a new way not seen before. with us tonight, matthewhitaker, michael lee, gary kaltbaum, harmeet dhillon. janice dean, vince collagnese and tom homan. conflicts of interest that could rope in a big name power player in the biden administration. more on wall street warfare. the little buy sticking it to the bid guys, wall street establishment. the little guys bull mania a raid that the big gun hedge funds love to hate. the little guys taking out the big guys. we have what you need to know to stay out of the crossfire. also tonight the administration's green new boondoggle. the president's top team members have a long and storied embarrassing history of blowing your tax dollars, wasting your tax dollars on green energy projects that eventually belly-flopped. it is giving cash for flunkers a whole new meaning. more on john kerry lecturing oil and gas workers that they need to suck it up and lose their jobs during a pandemic in order to battle climate change. when john kerry's family still own as private jet that pumps out more carbon emiss

a very positive move and i hope that they are able to do that and so matthew we know that president putin and president elect biden have both said that they would agree to a 5 year extension of new start that being the case what are the sticking points here why hasn't it happened yet. well i mean it hasn't happened because the trumpet ministration was not that which is still power by the way has not agreed has not wanted an extension of new start without russia agreeing specifically to of a freeze on new nuclear warheads a technical point but a really important one and in october the trump administration seemed to be wanting to overcome that obstacle there were some negotiations that picked up speed it looked that president trump wanted to have another diplomatic win if you will in the lead up to the presidential election and subsequently now where you know in a situation of utter chaos in washington and you know the biggest political crisis you could argue are you since the u.s. civil war which is by the way going to grind or is going to take up all of the senate's attention probably as it takes up impeachment 2n

capitol, president trump incited his supporters to fight to stop congress from certifying joe biden's victory. matthew rosenberg, also of "the new york times," saw it all take place. matthew, thank you for joining us. i appreciate it. how are you doing? >> doing all right, you know. a little worse for wear but -- >> i've got to be honest. you have covered wars and coups in the middle east and africa, but you say that these riots in the u.s. capitol, one of the most insane things that you have ever seen. what stood out to you? >> you know, i think what stood out is that it was in the u.s. capitol. i think if anyone had predicted this a few years ago, you would have said, you're crazy. there's bad and there's bad. but to see american citizens urged on by the president of the united states walk down pennsylvania avenue and get to the capitol and just push past the police, go in there, break into the speaker's office, rip things off her wall, take -- steal things from her office and brag about it outside, you know, some of them waving confederate flags is just astounding. >> you saw rioters rush out of th

. >> still dealing with it in the second impeachment trial as we see president-elect biden pull up to st. matthew's cathedral there in downtown washington, d.c. joe biden, a fautithful catholi striking his note of healing in this service today, mary bruce, he's invited the republican congressional leaders to attend this service with him. >> reporter: george, a clear sign that joe biden is setting a new tone here in washington and a tone of unity, congressional leaders of both parties are going to be there in attendance with him at church this morning. there's no clearer sign than that that there is a clear shift here in washington and in our politics and, of course, joe biden is a devout catholic. he attends mass regularly, practically every weekend. i think that is something you'll continue to see during his presidency, something we really haven't seen through the last several administrations and donald trump's departure standing here outside of the capitol kind of caught us by surprise to see marine one fly overhead flying around the capitol as if donald trump couldn't help himself but to ge inau

bureau he argues biden stands for unity and reconciliation but many other democrats want trump and his supporters to be brought to account it doesn't fit together and it's great to have matthew crunch it with us on the program once again he's european correspondent with the u.s. daily politico his opinion biden will manage to repair america's divisions whether he'll succeed in repairing the relationship with germany and europe is a different matter and great to have with us pseudo david will she is from the transatlantic think tank german marshall fund and she says joe biden will list stall a new version of global leadership for america but he will also think about the call the see in terms of how it affects the american middle class. one headline that we are seeing in the newspapers reads inauguration triumphed over insurrection referring to the worries that we could see a repeat of the extremist violence that gripped the capital just 2 weeks before the inauguration let me get a quick reaction from all of you about what was uppermost in your minds as you watched the inauguration matthew. well it felt to me like a restoration of american norms to be honest so you see biden t

biden issued an executive order ending the really offensive 7076 commission. apparently siding who believe the real story of america's founding starts in 1619. joining me now is matthew spalding, former executive director of thn. the biden team says your commission attempts to erase america's history of racial injustice, your response. >> good to be with you, i was both shocked and honored by being at the top of the chopping block today, shocked because i can't imagine any president actually adding rid of it commission to celebrate 1776 as our history, those of the unifying principles we should be turning to right now of all times but i think the report struck a nerve, it defended those principles on martin luther king day in the name of martin luther king but also lincoln and the founders themselves as claims of truths and defended those truths against challengers abroad in the form of fascism and communism which clearly denied human rights but also at home especially in those cases where individual rights have been in favor of group rights. john c calhoun did that in his way to defend slavery which was denounced by abraham lincoln. there are others who turn to grou

ditched for president trump's departure speech at air force base to go to church with the bidens at saint matthews after his inaugural address he headed into the capital where mcconnell and mccarthy both gave their congratulations and also gave him a gift, fresh photo from the inauguration ceremony that happened minutes before. >> i listen to your speech today, you talked among the tensioning division in a task of leaders and dedicate ourselves to the values of all american share together. this is not the end this is just the beginning. as leaders we are judged not by our words but by her actions. >> you mentioned the shots of president biden in his motorcade making his way to the white house for the very first time as president that's a familiar resident for him, he's been there for eight years as vice president but this will be the first time in the oval office as president and in the motorcade he is in the presidential limo was enter which is called the beast which has new license plates and say 46th for the 46 president of the united states. liz: thank you very much, as we talk about what will

watch president trump take off on air force one a few minutes before that we did see joe biden walked into saint matthew's church and you're right we did hear trump in his remarks wish the new administration luck and success, although he didn't name joe or say biden's name but he did wish them luck and success and you know after all of today's ceremonies and all of the events that are planned for an operation we do understand that the incoming president joe biden does plan to get to work right he plans to sign of series of executive orders and also plans to unveil his new sweeping immigration plan and when it comes to that future success of joe biden part of it is going to rely a lot on having bipartisan support from congress because although biden and democrats did gain control of the white house both chambers of congress it was a very very slim majority that they got so a lot of his plans may very well require republican support and perhaps you know the first sign that we're seeing of that bipartisanship in washington is that vice president mike pence and republican leader mitch mcconnell chose to join

drth matthew, good morning to you. the bidensays that they will take a different tact here and will release all of the doses that it has. i imagine that that creates a new set of concerns to make sure that second dose is available when it's time to get it. >> yeah, good morning, victor. happy new year to you and christi. listen, that is definitely a concern of mine. if you look at the way the trials were conducted for both moderna and pfizer it was two doses about, you know, a month apart and that's only when you get 95% protection. you get about 50% protection two weeks after the first dose. so as dr. gounder just mentioned there on sound, i hope that we can do more than ensure, i think we have to be absolutely sure that everybody who gets the first shot can come back to that same location and get the second dose. we already have such vaccine hesitancy in this country that i think that also on a moral standpoint if you promise somebody 95% protection just giving them one shot is not going to protect them the way that we have pr

biden's inaugural address. he will kickoff the morning with a bipartisan showing as he and congressional leaders go to st. matthew's cathedral here in washington, d.c., for a mask ceremony. biden becoming the second catholic president in united states history. from there, they make their way to the capital, which more than a week ago, was the scene of a horrific mob attack that resulted in president trump getting impeached. we could hear remarks from president trump within the next two hours as he departs the white house to go to florida, but without question, i'm told biden's addressed to the world will be one of a unified message. one, as he tries to change the tide of how america has dealt with the coronavirus. we should note later today at the white house, he is expected to take a series of executive orders, including reentering into the paris climate accord. that is a marked policy difference from what the trump administration did several years ago. tom: kevin cirilli, what do you predict for the senator from new york and kentucky? i am fascinated about the transfer of power among those strong-minded senate mi

in a few moments, joe biden is expected to leave blair house and head to church, saint matthew's cathedrals where he will attend mass, the cathedral where the only other catholic president, john f kennedy, lay in state. joe biden will then head to capitol hill where he will bejoined by former head to capitol hill where he will be joined by former presidents head to capitol hill where he will bejoined by former presidents bill clinton, george bush and barack obama. in a break with tradition, donald trump won't be with them, he is set to leave the white house at any moment. you can see the red carpet, and you can see flanks of white house staff gathering to actually send off the president. an enormous departure from what we usually see on inauguration day, the first time in over 150 years that the sitting president will not be there for the inauguration to hand over power from one over powerfrom one president to another. it is one of the central planks of the way the system works in america, and so often we have seen with this president he has breached with that norm, and he will get on mari

makes for careful reading not only about president trump and president biden, but going back to james o'connor -- james earl carter. matthew, the relationship with china. how did president trump do in narrowing the trade deficit? matthew: it is good to be with you. for all of the bombast against globalization, during his first three years as president, the trade deficit climbed to record 1.67 trillion dollars. that surpasses a similar period deficits for obama, george w. bush, and also clinton. our data is u.s. census data that goes back to 1992. by the end of the trump era, if you will, we have a really dubious outcome which is he has nothing to show for the policies that he engendered. at this point, worse than everybody except george w. bush, who you know presided over the worst recession since the great depression. yeah, i mean, yes definition for what he is still with china. tom: with the wonderful work that you do, completely unfair question this morning, we assume that president biden will raise taxes. can he plays those tax increases all on business and corporations or does he have to bring it over to the so-called

biden to impose sanction on some of russian president vladimir putin's allies. last weekend tens of thousands braved frigid temperatures to demand navalny's release. matthewalny's foundation sent this letter to the biden administration. tell us more about it. >>> that's right. and that's just on the eve of these protests that are expected to take place across the country in possibly more than a hundred city where tens of thousands of people are expected to come out to voice their opposition to the continuing detention of alexei navalny and call for his release, something authorities have showed absolutely no sign of doing. within the past 48 hours, we're learned it was sent directly from alexei navalny's anti-corruption group to president biden, to sanction 35 people close to vladimir putin with tough sanctions to make them feel the consequential of this continued action against them. there were eight people that it said were on a priority list, including roman abromwich, a billionaire oligarch, the owner of chelsea football club in britain with massive other interests elsewhere and he's called a key enabler of the kremlin autocracy and another person is

biden before he is sworn in tomorrow. >> kevin o'brien will officiate mass at st. matthew the apostle, the church is just a few blocks away from the white house. o'brien was ordained as a priest in 2006. >> once kamala harris officially becomes vice president, one of her first acts will be to swear in democrat alex padilla. he will be california's first latino senator and will take the oath of office on his late mother's bible. >>> some bay area businesses are honoring kamala harris today. >> betty yu on how restaurants are dishing up tributes to the >> tonight that the city is thinking about charging an entrance fee. >> the yosemite national park is closed after howling winds causes some downed trees. it will likely remain closed until friday. the crews will be repairing facilities and clearing out the trees.>>> one look at that, you know it was blowing pretty hard last night. i know everyone is probably raking up leaves. anymore coming paul? >> not in the near future, the winds have come down significantly and i don't think we will see a repeat of those strong offshore w

matthew. guy was always late. then came biden's speech, his first address to a dividend nation as president.l things in a democracy, unity. unity. with unity, we can do great things, important things history, faith and reason show the way, the way of unity. for without unity, there is no peace, only bitterness and fury. and unity is the path forward. >> seth: "but why won't the democrats talk about unity?" you know republicans incited an insurrection and then complained that democrats aren't trying to unify the nation meanwhile, biden talked more about unity than a marriage counselor who only gets paid if the couple stays together. "ben, you need to validate your wife's feelings more and carol, don't repress those emotions communicate! now, let's hash this out and grab a brewski at houlihan's!" like any president, biden has his strengths and weaknesses but clearly, one strength is his ability to give the nation a pep talk, and, in many his ways, his inaugural address was basically the half-time speech america needed >> at this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed. my whole soul is in it

matthew the apostle. then it's off to the u.s. capitol, where mr. bidenl deliver his inaugural address, a speech calling for unity and healing, with a direct appeal to the former president's supporters. vice president-elect kamala harris will be sworn in by supreme court justice sonia sotomayor, and mr. biden by chief justice john roberts. lady gaga will sing the "national anthem." jennifer lopez and garth brooks are also set to perform. later, the bidens will head across the potomac river to arlington national cemetery to lead a wreath laying at the tomb of the unknown soldier withlint bush and obama and their wives. from there the new president and vice president will be escorted by troops to the white house, followed by a virtual inaugural parade. covid had already canceled the inaugural balls, so the bidens lewid by bruce springsteen. this afternoon, the president- elect gave an emotional good-bye speech to his home state of delaware. when i die, delaware will be. written on my heart. >> reporter: mr. biden spoke at the national guard base named for h

biden. i want to go to moscow, matthew chance standing by with more. it's obviously a chilly day in moscow where you are. certainly a lot of emotions flying across the country. 11 time zones. what's happening now where you are? >> reporter: here in moscow, the protest hasn't actually gotten under way. it's going to be another 45 minutes, an hour, before the formal protest gets under way. but there's a big security presence in the center of the russian capital. riot police have been deployed. metro stations have been sealed off to try and prevent protesters getting to the area where the protest is going to be held. it's an unsanctioned protest, as all these protests are across the country, and the authorities have advised people in russia not to attend. we're expecting to see here in moscow people detained as they were last week when they attempt to protest. indeed, we've been seeing those scenes rolled out across the country already. it is a country of 11 time zones and the protests have been sweeping east to west like a wave. we've been seeing big cro

matthews church for a church service, we've seen biden go to church almost every weekend.e will inaugurated on the capitol. and then he will lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier. and then right on the white house. he will have a presidential escort as close to a parade as we'll get. there will be drum line bands. and then we'll see a flurry of executive orders, 15 of them to be exact. this will be the season when all of the campaign trail promises about day one actually get turned in to policy or at least the beginnings of policy. and i would caution because day one in this instance is actually more like days one through ten because biden if you were on the campaign trail, there were a lot of promises made for day one and they are making good on them over the course of the first several days of the administration. >> a lot that they can do right away. and it is an interesting point that you make, the historical scope of this and for biden, the man, america often seems to embrace people that seem to be pressed into service. and while we know joe biden has wanted

matthew's church. the biden family is there. you can see the president-elect and dr. jill biden standing there. go ahead, john. >> there's an apocraphal quote that i'll butcher -- he says there are times in this job where i've been driven to my knees because i had nowhere else to go. when you see joe biden standing in a pew, you think of all the other times he has had to stand in a pew. and what that has done in his life and what that means to him. this is is ceremony, of course,t it is also every ceremony today, everything that happens has a -- has a thread through the human history of the person who is now at the center of american government. and so think about all of the things that joe biden has been through in a church, and now how this new moment is -- begins for him in a church. >> on one level i'm comforted by the experience he's had in government and how much he's been through this, but i look and think, how would you feel if you were 77 years old and woke up in the morning and you had to confront all of this? i think about this. joe biden was the youngest s

biden agenda is on a tightrope from the get-go. the president-elect nodding to those new dynamics today, inviting top republican and democratic leadership to join him at st. matthews cathedral in washington tomorrow for a pre-inauguration worship service. a key ally of biden in the senate hopes the gesture starts washington down a better path. >> that church service tomorrow is an important part of respecting tradition and signaling the importance of faith in joe's life. it's how he's been able to get up when life has knocked him down. it's central to how millions and millions of americans have got t gotten through this pandemic so far, and it's representative of who joe biden is, it's hopeful, it's optimistic, and it needs a lot of help getting it together. >> on this very important day, kaitlan collins and kyung lah. kaitlan, we're waiting to see what he says in that message he taped last night, waiting to see what the pardon list will look like and whether it's just long and interesting or whether it's long and shocking. your colleague pam brown, our colleague pam brown, saying as of now nothing outside of the norm, nothing terribly shocking on there, but what
