mr. vice president elect. fmr. v.p. biden: thank you. >> thank you, mr. president-elect, and vice president-elect harris. the question is, what do you make of the fact that the president is having these calls with michigan county officials? he is going to be also having michigan republican legislators at the white house tomorrow. is anything that he's doing making you rethink your strategy? i know you say that you don't want to have legal action right now. what do you say to americans, especially immigrant americans who came to the united states looking for political stability and seeing all of the things that the president is doing. fmr. v.p. biden: hang on. i'm on my way. that's what i say to them. not a joke. and what the president is doing now is really, it's going to be another incident where he will go down in history as being one of the most irresponsible presidents in american history. it's just not even within the norm at all. there's questions on whether it's even legal. it's going to be interesting to see who shows up in this call to meet with t

mr. vice president elect. thank you mr. president-elect and vice president harris. do youstion is, what make of the fact the president is having calls with michigan county officials? he is also having michigan republican legislators at the white house tomorrow. anything that he is doing making you rethink your strategy. i know you say that you do not want to have legal action right now. what you say to americans especially immigrant americans who came to the united states looking for political stability and saying all of the things that the president is doing. >> i am on my way. that is what i say to them. not a joke. and what the president is doing now is really going to be another incident where he will go down in history. mosting one of the irresponsible presidents in american history. it is not even with the norm at all. there are questions whether it is even legal. it is going to be interesting to see who shows up in this call with the leadership. we won michigan. it is going to be certified. we are going to end up making are, that we won. i just -- it is hard

president-elect biden: mr. president, i look forward to speaking with you. >> you say you are able to move ahead without interruption. but you will need access to more classified information to secure facilities and the like. what options are you considering? how will you move ahead if the president continues to refuse to concede? president-elect biden: access to classified information is useful. but i am not in a position to make any decisions on those issues anyway. as i said, there is one president at a time. he will be president until january 20. it would be nice to have it, but it is not critical. we are just going to proceed the way we have. we will do exactly what we would be doing if he had conceded and said we have won, which we have, and so there is nothing really changing. >> but not ruling out eagle action? president-elect biden: i do not see a need for legal action. i think legal action is -- -- we have seen it play out in the actions he has taking. so far, there is no evidence of any of the asserti

mr. president-elect. i want to piggyback off of that. i want to get your thoughts on the president's tweet over the weekend where he first seemed to acknowledge that you won, then he said he won't concede, then he said i won. how do you interpret that? and at the end of the day do you want him to concede? president-elect biden: i interpret that as trumpism, no change, his modus operandi, i think the pressure will continue. look, i'm having a lot of meetings with world leaders on the telephone. i can't get into negotiating with them about things that will be done but they're calling with some degree of enthusiasm. everyone from the holy father, the prime ministers across the globe. and so we're moving along knowing what the outcome will be. as i said earlier, i probably shouldn't repeat it, but i find this more embarrassing for the country than debilitating for my ability to get started. reporter: secondly, i want to follow up with you on the vaccine. if the f.d.a. gives emergency authorization to the pfizer or moderna vaccine in the comin

mr. president-elect. the economic impact and talk a bit about the relief package you wanted but i was wondering if it could talk about things to be able to do as president and that will govern your decisions in terms of the economy but as wondering if i could ask what kind of framework you are thinking about is you decide about the treasury secretary going forward whether you would consider andy said during the debate you wanted to punish china for the way they have been acting whether that would include economic sanctions or tariffs towards china and finally do you think a dollar helps or hurts the u.s. as we are grappling with the stark unemployment? >> look let me take them one at a time. you will soon hear my choice for treasury. we made that decision and you'll hear that just before or just after thanksgiving number one and you will find someone who i think will be accepted by all elements of the democratic party and the moderate coalitions. secondly it's not so much about punishing 10 but making sure

mr. president-elect. >> thank you. >> >> thank you, mr. vice president president-elect -- thank you mre president-elect harris. what do you make of the fact that the president is having these calls with michigan county officials amid his bid to overturn the election he is going to be having also michigan republican legislators at the white house tomorrow. is there anything that he is doing making you rethink your strategy? i know you say that you don't want to have legal action right now and what do you say to americans, especially immigrant americans who came to the united states looking for political stability and seeing all the things that the president is doing? >> hang on. i'm on my way. that's what i say to them. not a joke. and what the president is doing now is really -- it's going to be another incident where he goal down in history as being one of the most irresponsible presidents in american history. it's just out -- not even within the norm at all. questions whether it's even legal. but it's going to be interesting to see who sh

mr. president-elect. st spoke of dangers but it doesn't appear the president is going to come around anytime soon and admit defeat. so what are you going to do? what options do you have two ensure that you are ready to go on day number one? >> do what every individual in the country from business to labor, republicans to democrats, to try to pull together a serious and consistent plan so we are ready on day one. everyone from staffing to moving along on coordinating with business and labor. at the covid attack, how we will attack covid. so it would make it a lot easier if the president worked to participate. you have a number of republicans suggesting that. the good news is my colleague is on the intelligence community. so that is, there's a number of republicans calling for that. i'm hopeful that the president will be mildly more enlightened before we get to january 20th. >> what is your memo to republicans, you clearly need to work with them going forward. >> president-elect biden: my messages i will wor

mr. president-elect, will you meet with president trump? >> of course i would, if he asked. >> let's get to rachel scott with us live from wilmington tonight. and rachel, the election, as i mentioned, three weeks ago tonight. feels like a long time ago. the transition only beginning last night, officially, but tonight, you're learning the biden team already speaking with all federal agencies and they've been in touch with dr. fauci, as well? >> reporter: yeah, that's right, david. president-elect joe biden saying as soon as those federal agencies were given the green light, the outreach was immediate and sincere. his team now in touch with dr. anthony fauci and operation warp speed about plans to distribute a coronavirus vaccine and this of course does open the door for joe biden to start getting those critical and classified national security briefings. david? >> rachel scott live in wilmington for us. rachel, thank you. >>> as i mentioned, the president suddenly holding a briefing today at the white house. it lasted just 64 seconds and ca

mr. president-elect, will you meet with president trump? >> of course, i would, if he asked. chances are he won't since he still, as of tonight, is not admitting biden won. seven days ago. today trump re-tweeted a picture of himself with the caption, i concede in all caps, nothing. very "apprentice" like board room approach there. the president doesn't have to concede. this will happen whether he likes it or not because the american people had a decision to make, which they did, and they elected joe biden. instead of accepting reality, he came out today for the tone deaf move of congratulating his administration. listen to this. >> i just want to congratulate everybody, the dow jones industrial average just broke for the first time in history 30,000. it's now -- that's good. that's great for jobs and good for everything. and this is the ninth time that we set a record during the course of 2020 and it's the 48th time that we have set the record during the trump administration. >> trump took credit for the stock market. laying it on thick. his other appearance today, as well. y

mr. president-elect, vice president-elect harris, thank you for your trust and confidence. confirmed by the united states senate, i will do everything i can to earn it. mr. president-elect, working for you, having you as a mentor and friend has been the greatest privilege of my professional life. so many people have brought me to this day, from college classmates to bandmates, my colleagues in the clinton and obama administrations, in the senate, and at the state department. i think them all, and i ask forgiveness for my insatiable appetite for bad puns. mostly, i want to thank my family, sisters, sisters-in-law, brothers, nieces and nephews, my wonderful in-laws the ryan's, and especially my wife evan ryan, and our children john and lila. they are truly my greatest blessings. family, as for so many generations of americans, america has literally been the last best hope on earth. my grandfather, maurice blinken led pilgrims in russia and made a new life in america. his son, my father, donald blinken, served in the united states air force during world war ii, and then as a u

mr. president-elect. i know you mentioned the economic impact and talked about the relief package you wanted. i was wondering if we could talk about things you'll be able to do as president, what will govern your decision in terms of the economy. i was wondering if i could ask what kind of framework you're thinking about as you decide on a treasury secretary. you said you wanted to punish china over the way they have been acting, whether that could include economic sanctions or tariffs towards china? finally do you think a strong dollar helps or hurts the u.s. as we're grappling with historic unemployment? >> you'll soon hear my choice for treasury. i made that decision. we made that decision. you'll hear that just before or after thanksgiving. you'll find it's someone who will be accepted by all elements of the democratic party, progressives and moderates. secondly, it's not so much about punishing china. it's about making sure china understands they have to play by the rules. that's one of the reasons wh

mr. president-elect, mr. mr. hat donald trump has done and is continuing to do is to denigrate and defame and deride this entire process. >> whatever the outcome, we will never stop fighting to make america great again. [cheers and applause] >> john: just some of the day's sound as the elections challenges continue. let's bring in our panel now harold ford jr. is with us along with mollie hemingway the federal editor at "the federalist" and jonah goldberg the at the dispatch. the latest news is the senate majority leader mike shirky and satfield were at the white house meeting with the president according to reports they said that they were not aware of any information that would change joe biden's apparent win in that state. mollie hemingway, it's been said by some people maybe the president was bringing them in to try to do something along the lines of getting a different slate of electors seated. what does it tell us that they said that they are not aware of anything that could change the outcome there. >> it s

congratulations, mr president. the electiont was seen by many as a watershed moment, a step towards ending historic divisions that had scarred the united states. but barack obama now believes those divides are deepening. divisions notjust of race, but also inequality. we are very divided right now, certainly more than we were when i first ran for office in 2007 and more divided than we were four years ago, when donald trump first won the presidency. some of that is attributable to our current president, who actively fanned division, because he felt it was good for his politics, but it preceded him and it will outlast him. in part, he says, that's because some americans feel they've lost their grip on the ladder of economic advancement and can be persuaded it's someone else's fault. resentments fanned, he says, by conspiracy—fuelled social media. crazy conspiracy theories, and what some have called truth decay, right, where facts don't matter. that has contributed enormously to these divisions. and, oh, yes, he believes the curr

mr. president-elect, madam vice president-elect. your plan -- my mask is stuck in my earring demonstrating for america. >> trying to take it off that's hard. thank god i don't have an earring. >> the plan that you have outlined just now, about a million union jobs, clean energy jobs, investments in hbcus, those are things that take time. we have a problem with long term unemployment that's growing fast right now. what would you do right away, specifically to address jobs that may not return for months, may not return ever, including in communities of color? >> what i would do i, i would pass the h.e.r.o.e.s. act. it has all the money and capacity to take care of each of those things now. now. not tomorrow now. and the idea the president is still playing golf and not doing anything about it is beyond my comprehension. at least think he would want to go off on a positive note. but what is he doing and there is virtually no discussion and the republican -- we are told -- i don't know that it is true you may know, senator, that there is

mr. president-elect, and madam vice president-elect, that you've selected us not to serve you, but to servehalf of the american people. mr. president-elect, you know that i have never shied away from speaking truth to power. and that will be my charge as director of national intelligence. i've worked for you for a long time, and i accept this nomination knowing that you would never want me to do otherwise, and that you value the perspective of the intelligence community and that you will do so even when what i have to say may be inconvenient or difficult, and i assure you there will be those times. >> joining our discussion now, john brennan, former director of the cia and msnbc senior national security and intelligence analyst. director brennan, those final words, where she promises him publicly that she will be walking in there telling him things that he does not want to hear, telling him things that will make his strategic decisions much more difficult than they were the day before is something that is inconceivable for anyone working for donald trump to ever say publicly or privately. >

mr. president-elect. >> thank you, sir. >> i'll get your taxes down. there he is glad-handing with the rich folks saying, we will get your taxes down, don't worry. for all his working class anti-elite campaign rhetoric, the first thing he did after getting elected was shake the hands of rich people and promise to cut their taxes, and cutting the taxes for the rich was one of the things he really did deliver on. trump has done very little, if anything, to stop the coronavirus or help workers over the last six months. ordinary americans are experiencing record levels of hunger. we're seeing headlines from across the country. here's one from rhode island. in 2019, the number of people reporting food insecurity was 9.1%. this year, 25% said they were unable to provide enough food for themselves and their families. that's just one state and that's being replicated across the country. the senate republicans continue to refuse to pass a new relief package, about 12 million americans are going to lose unemployment insurance, not just the bonus, the actual unem

mr. president-elect. congratulations to you both. to reach out at all to the president, if he is watching right now what would you say to him? >> mr. president, look forward to speaking with you. reporter: you say that you are being able to move ahead without interruption but to jeff's point, presumably at some point you will need access to more classified information, secure facilities and the like. what options are you considering? how will you move ahead as the president continues to refuse to concede? >> look, access to classified information is useful but i'm not in a position to make any decisions on those issues anyway. there is one president, as i said one president at a time. he will be president until january 20th. it would be nice to have it but it is not critical and, that is we're going to proceed the way we have. we're going to, we're going to do exactly what we would be doing if he had conceded and said we won which we have and so there is nothing really changing. reporter: but not ruling out legal action? >> no. i don

mr. president-elect, you know that i have never shied away from speaking truth to power. >> for all the talkversity, this is a national security team that symbolizes the return of the washington foreign policy establishment after four years in the cold. none more so than secretary of state nominee tony blinken, deputy secretary of state under president obama. he is numb to be far more of an advocate for u.s. military -- he is known to be far more of an advocate for u.s. military aid around the world. >> america at its best still has a greater ability than any other country on earth to bring others together to meet the challenges of our time. >> biden has pledged fresh thinking on foreign policy. perhaps a recognition a key reason some voters switched from the democrats to trump in 2016 is their disappointment president obama had not brought the change in foreign policy he promised. biden's incoming national foreign security advisory did speak. >> the alliances we build, the agreement we signed, all of them should be judged by a basic question. will this make life better, easier, safer for fa

presidency. speaking at his campaign headquarters a few hours ago, the democratic party candidate said he had a clear and convincing lead. this how the race looks four days on from election day. mrctoral college votes, with president trump on 214. remember, 270 is the number required for victory. a final result is taking so long because they're still counting ballots in several knife—edge states, including pennsylvania and georgia. lebo diseko has the latest. joe biden supporters danced through the day and into the night in the city of philadelphia. their candidate's lead in this state is steadily growing and they can taste the victory. winning in pennsylvania would mean joe biden becomes the president. with more than 95% of votes counted, he is inching his way there. but with some votes still to come in, it may be some time before a result is declared. we don't have a final declaration... on friday evening, joe biden addressed the nation. he stopped short of declaring victory but his tone and message deliberately presidential. the numbers tell us it's clear — tell us a clear and convincing story. we're going win this race. just look at what has happened since yesterday. 2a hour

mr. president elect. what will you do for black lives? i'm not sure if you recall the black eyed matter protests were kind of a big deal this year and they started during obama's administration. so joe, will you even take us cap toward decreasing the that if the absorbent data insane. but nana's.
