emily murphy held out for another week and em pily murphy held out for 16 days and in those 16 days, emily murphy, taken public ownership of this crime against democracy. along with donald trump who's a crime against democracy. leading off our discussion tonight john hyman, analyst and executive editor of the recount and and jennifer palmary >> john and jennifer, i apologize to you for my talk not including show time the circus as a credit that both of you share and both of you worked in so wonderfully this season. jennifer, it was especially pleasurable to watch you going through the agony of the closeliness on election night since it was way too good to be true. all of that is captured beautifully and the circus. here we are long after election night and 16 days after november 7th when it was pretty much official to the rest of us and the transition now finally, legally begins. you have been through this with the administration. what happens tonight that's different from yesterday ain ths transition? >> the most important thing is the biden's transition is going to be able to get i

of emily murphy. the first person emily murphy sent out to lie for her was her government-paid spokesperson, pamela pennington, who said three days after joe biden became the apparent winner, quote, an ascertainment has not yet been made, and its administrator will continue to abide by and fulfill all requirements under the law. that is a lie. pamela pennington lied for emily murphy, who is not abiding by and fulfilling all requirements under the law. emily murphy is violating all of the requirements under the law, and pamela pennington is lying about that for emily murphy. no one else emily murphy has sent out to lie for her has been willing to have their names become public, and so hiding behind their status as anonymous sources, friends of emily murphy are now telling reporters lies like this. emily is a consummate professional, a deeply moral person, but also a very excuse me lus attorney who is in a very difficult position with an unclear law and precedence that is behind her stance. every bit of

he is taking care of the house because the owner, his good friend nicole murphy, actor eddie murphy'swife, has moved to los angeles. he gets a call. it's nicole. she has entrusted stratos with her money and now she is being hounded by creditors. stratos reassures her that everything is fine. but he is lying. at this point he has already taken at least $13 million from trusting victims like nicole murphy. and the question is -- what is the secret to this con artist's stunning success? ♪ the answer begins in maui in 1994. stratos is 28, an aspiring film director. he comes to the island to work on a film script with the man who will become one of his best friends in life, richard hack. hack: he was extremely articulate and charming and i thought that i was mentoring this substantial talent. narrator: hack is a journalist, a best-selling author of more than a dozen books. he is a favorite guest for television interviews. man: richard hack uncovers america's first billionaire in his new book, simply called "hughes." narrator: in maui, as stratos and hack become friends, stratos describes t

abc news reported today that emily murphy is looking for a job because emily murphy knows joe biden is going to be president on january 20th. and while emily murphy's looking for a job, she obviously does not care how many people might die because she has already delayed the transition over a week. emily murphy is going to find a job. she's going to find a very high paying job in a big corporation run by republicans who won't have the slightest qualm about the way she broke the law to please donald trump, who yesterday tweeted "great job emily." donald trump had to reach back to one of emily's tweets of over a week ago that had nothing to do with the election just to tag those words "great job emily" yesterday. he chose yesterday to say "great job emily" because emily was doing for donald trump exactly what he wanted her to do, which is breaking the law. and emily murphy is going to get away with it. that's how this works. she's going to get away with it. and corporate america will make her rich and her name will be forgotten because the crimes against humanity by donald trump are so o

pamela pennington is lying about that for emily murphy. no one else emily murphy has sent out to lie for her has been willing to have names become public. hiding behind their status, friends of emily murphy are now telling reporters lies like this. emily is a professional, morale person and scrupulous attorney in a she is not a scrupulous attorney because she is violating a federal law. there is nothing unclear in the law. as to emily murphy being a deeply morale person, tell that to the many people that may die. she is doing what she believes is her honest duty as someone that has sworn she deputy swe swear -- she refuses to say if she has been in communication with donald trump about refusing to authorize the transition. an illegal act. it is not up to donald trump. the law gives full responsibility and full authority to emily murphy to authorize the transition. if donald trump is ordering emily murphy not to authorize the transition as the law is ordering her to authorize the transition, that choice is very, very easy for anyone who has

but emily murphy continues to lie about numbers. there are no trump lawsuits pending anywhere in america tonight that can change the outcome of this election. the only states where trump lawsuits are still pending are nevada and pennsylvania. joe biden won pennsylvania by 81,000 votes. 81,622 votes. joe biden won nevada by 33,000 votes and there's no litigation in either of those states that is aimed at changing the vote count, which means he fits the definition of apparent winner as described in the presidential transition act of 1963. the law that emily murphy is violating every day that she refuses to sign the document that would officially authorize the biden/harris transition. em mauer is the administrator of the general services administration. the law gives the gsa administrator full and exclusive authority to authorize the transition. the president of the united states has nothing to do with it. the white house press secretary has said that. the white house press secretary said it is up to the gsa to what we call reach ascer

that's what emily murphy is trying to do. she is the administrator of the general services administration, who is personally refusing to sign her name to the paperwork that would officially begin the transition of the biden/harris -- to the biden/harris administration. and emily murphy is the typically corrupt trump appointee who is working every day now in violation of a law that orders her to authorize this transition and provide the necessary resources, including office space to the biden/harris transition team. the law doesn't give her a choice. we'll hear more about the details of that law tonight from harvard's constitutional law professor lawrence tribe. emily murphy has 64 days left in her job and she's still afraid of being fired by donald trump. for doing the right thing. for following the law. emily murphy looks at christopher krebs tonight and sees what she doesn't want to be, a fired trump official. she does not see and cannot see christopher krebs' clarity of moral vision. she does not see and cannot see christo

how much criticism has murphy faced?ld trump three yea rs appointed by donald trump three years ago? yes, it's fair to say she is a trump loyalist, and the weight trump has tweeted about her suggests that as well. there's lots of criticism over her, lots of people saying that she was basically not being patriotic. and she had been trending a lot on social media as well, there's been lots of attack ads done against her certainly by republicans who do not like donald trump. so i think it is fairto donald trump. so i think it is fair to say that she has come under a huge amount of criticism. but those who have been criticising her are saying that she's not been doing her job. you know, herjob is quite straightforward and procedural, she shouldn't really be showing loyalty to a president, but should be showing loyalty to a country by signing this document which she should have done a lot earlier. but as she has said in the letter, and it's interesting because in the letter she still shows that loyalty — she claims she has no

>> governor murphy: i do. period.president pence just before thanksgiving and said so. we are on calls regularly with the white house, we've got one tomorrow in addition to secretary azar, you've got the likes of tony fauci, general gus perna, new jersey zone, overseeing the distribution. stephen hahn, others. i also give the private sector players a lot of credit and they give decades of investment in public health a lot of credit. having said that, we are not in the end zone yet. this is incredibly complex. i'm gratified that at long last the gsa has allowed both teams to begin to coordinate. i bemoaned that it took as long as it did, but they are now and there's a lot of complexity ahead of us and distribution, federal support. this is going to be a very historic path that we are on. again, i give them credit for the progress we've made, but we've got a distance yet to travel and the more we could be coordinated -- i think the other piece, bret, is the more the president-elect and the president are speaking from th

murphy: the u.s.overnment is already purchased hundreds of millions of doses, so it is already paid for. it will go out for free. what it will actually cost is anyone's guess. jonathan: great to catch up this morning. we appreciate your time, sir. dr. murphy of northwestern university. the question coming into the development of this vaccine is how much they would charge, especially for the companies that worked alongside the government and took funding from the government. there will be huge pressure for her river -- for whoever comes up with a vaccine, and we have two companies in the last week showing more success. the more we have come the much better it could be. tom: you've got to believe the taxpayer will pick it up in a number of different countries. what about the poor countries? i haven't seen a real treatise yet on how pfizer and moderna, as expensive mrna style medicines, translate to poor countries, but that will be a debate for another moment. this is a celebration of that percentage num

the next day here, that's being sent from emily murphy from the general services administration. and she says, you know, the g.s.a. administrator does not pickle, certify the winner of a presidential election. its role under the act is extremely narrow to make resources and services available in connection with a presidential transition. but on the other hand, as you mentioned, donald trump has also said that he's directed his team to do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols. how much should we waiting? should we be putting into that? what the president is saying there? i think it has a lot of weight because this is again the 1st time we've had even a tiny sense that the president realizes what is in fact, reality to most other people on the planet is that he is not going to be the next president of the united states, so this is him, say to ok the transition can proceed, but not because i'm going to give up. i'm still in a challenge in court, but he has had dozens and dozens of she was mentioning, court cases and these judges have just missed these cases. in some

clearly this was the tipping point for emily murphy. and now, again, that formal transitio transition period can officially begin for joe biden. >> and this is so, so significant because now that the gsa administrator emily murphy has done this, the outgoing administration has to start cooperating with the incoming administration with daily intelligence briefings for the president-elect, the vice president-elect, the outgoing coronavirus task force members like dr. fauci, dr. redfield, dr. birx. they are now allowed to start briefing the incoming coronavirus advisory council president-elect biden has put together. there will be national security ramifications, health care ramifications. this will enable the president-elect, the vice president-elect, the new members of their incoming administration to get ready for january 20th when the president and vice president-elect will be sworn in, and they will be able to start with a base of knowledge that until now these past three weeks or so they've been denied, right? >> yeah, that's absolut

murphy: it is shovel ready. could envision putting a shovel in the ground first quarter next year. david: it feels like the countries on the brink of a new regime and we will see where it takes us with president biden. are you concerned about setting expectations too high? people expect things to turn around right away. does president biden need to manage expectations? gov. murphy: i think he does. i think the american people get that were will get it. we have big challenges. this is exactly the man to do it , exactly the administration for this moment in time. it is not a light switch. whether it is our domestic challenges, our foreign policy challenges, we are all in this together. it will take us a while to get here. whether that is the pandemic, economic recovery, you name it. we are america. we are far from perfect, but we are the greatest nation on earth and this is exactly right leader for this moment in time. david: part of my interview with new jersey governor phil murphy. ons is "balance of power" bloo

i went to thank senator casey, balding, and murphy print on thank you for joining us today. we know america is in the midst of a third wave of covid 19 cases producing the record number of new infections, hospitalizations are rising. death rates are still high. after president trump's failure to contain the virus it was so encouraging today at the caucus and our lunch to hear the doctor cochair of the president elected biden's coronas advisory board. you know what was great? he was a scientist. he knew the facts. and he will be listened too. whenever ouchi came to speak before as we said this is great but we know to pay no attention to it. but doctor murphy was correct brilliant in his presentation he will have real inputs that made all of us feel a lot better. you could feel the change in atmosphere in this whole town, just when we had doctor murphy there today and everyone felt very good about it. now, it is clear that senator bided steve i'm sorry present elected biden's team is ready to hit the ground running. and there is going to be light at the end of the tunnel, fina

and i will now turn over to chris murphy from connecticut. >> thank you. you have covered the topic very well so i will be quick and make three brief points as i was on the way out meeting with the purchase department they followed me to the door to have a private word with me. she said i didn't want to say this in front of anybody else in to get anybody in trouble but i have no idea how many test kits i'm getting from day-to-day. i have no ability to plan beyond 48 hours to get even set up in the community to make sure we are on the front lines of this epidemic. i can't do my job. she can do her job because this administration has completely failed us. it's botched the response to this pandemic. and the senate republicans have let the country down as well. we need a robust comprehensive package of support that gets money to schools, counties, cities, states, healthcare providers to make sure they have everything they need in order to plan more than one day at a time and to this day senate republicans still do not take this pandemic seriously. they still c

quoting murphy now. i was never dlektly or indirectly pressured by any executive branch official, including those that work at the white house or gsa with regard to the substance or timing of my decision. to be clear, i did not receive any direction to delay my determination. in the statement, murphy says she took her role, quote, seriously. and that her decision was not based on fear or favoritism. she also said she's received death threats or threats, i should say, directly aimed at her staff, family, and herself. president trump, almost immediately, chimed in. he claimed credit for the decision, despite murphy saying she came to her decision, quote, independently. so, it seems someone is lying there. he tweeted quote, i am recommending that emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the same. the complete sentences and sophisticat sophisticated verbiage indicate the president, likely, did not write it, himself. but this might be the closes

of emily murphy, i want to thank emily murphy, a g.s.a. for his steadfast dedication and loyalty to our country. she's been harassed, threatened, and abused, and i do not want to see this happen to her family or employees of g.s.a. case, strongly continues, we will keep up the good fight, and i believe we will prevail, that a lesson the best interests of our country, i'm recommending that emily and the team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols and have told my team to do the same. now it's important to note that emily murphy received a letter from the u.s. congress shortly before. and the u.s. congress was urging her to take this action. it's also important to note that the trumpet, ministration has not conceded defeat. they still maintain, they were victims of widespread election fraud. the election was stolen from them. donald trump main saint's he is the legitimate winner of the u.s. presidential election. however, it seems clear at this point that the trumpet ministration is planning to leave office in january. now

what sort of criticism has the head of the gsa committee trump reported murphy come for?to refuse to release the funds to the democrats who had been pushing herfor this democrats who had been pushing her for this heaven date? and sadly she was criticised for acting ina sadly she was criticised for acting in a partisan manner and being under pressure from president trump not to certify the election results. despite the election results. despite the fact that four years ago shortly after president from was projected to be the winner of the 2016 election by similar margins to hillary clinton we saw that the gsa very shortly after that certified those election results so deftly looked like it was very partisan. we also saw that she kept on delaying as the trunk and paper pushed forward with these legal challenges citing fraud which we know there's no widespread or evidence for widespread or evidence for widespread voterfraud in widespread or evidence for widespread voter fraud in the united states so essentially she looked like she was partisan but the position she is and sho

there has been huge pressure on emily murphy, who is head of the gsa, to sign this document, weeks agois what happened, you know, that is the way that it goes. but she had been holding back, and in the matter, it is really interesting, because she does still, there is kind of a sense of reluctance, and as you mentioned, she does not refer to him as president—elect. donald trump's tweets show no sign of concession. he says the fight will continue. if he means the legal fight, and fight will continue. if he means the legalfight, and it is interesting, because already more than 30 of his lawsuits have been shucked out of the courts because of no evidence of voterfraud. courts because of no evidence of voter fraud. all these unsubstantiated claims he keeps making. ithink unsubstantiated claims he keeps making. i think this was always going to happen, loads of republicans are increasingly breaking ranks and coming out and saying, joe biden needs to be recognised as the president—elect and the transition needs to begin. i think it wasjust transition needs to begin. i think it was just a matt

murphy when you were talking to her before the election?, let me clear up a little bit here. she and i -- we had never talked before. she and i talked right around the election but before the -- before the problem became obvious. she was just imagining how difficult this could be and what did i experience. so i shared with her my experiences. we agreed and i said in life -- my mother always taught me if you do the right thing you can live with the consequences and you will be okay. she agreed with that. i think she really wanted to do the right thing. but you're right. you and george bush are right. this election today is totally different than 2000 and, you know, you both have said, you and george bush again have both said that the winner is clear and we should get moving on. so, you know, i think there's not much doubt left i don't believe, and i hope she will be able to make that decision pretty quickly. >> joe biden and i think everyone else observing else observing this agrees. we should note she recently sent messages inquiring about

the new york times says miss murphy has the legal authority to turn on the transition, releasing $6.3 million in federal funds budgeted for the effort, making office space available and powering team members to visit offices to request information. but there is no specific provision for when she must act. an ascertainment has not yet been made. she added the gsa and the administrator will continue to abide by fulfill all requirements under the law and adhere to prior precedent established by the clinton administration in 2000. what is this ascertainment? are you familiar with that? ascertainmentm comes from the statute itself. thean be thought of of winner of the race is the president-elect. what the trump administration is doing is using that as precedent, saying that remember in 2000, the year of the hanging theren florida, because was a recount under a great deal of controversy, what was not clear was who the president-elect was going to be. administration decided to not recognize the w bush folks as having won the presidency. they have been steps updated since then. but having sai

governor murphy joins us now. governor murphy, good morning to you.use really, this has been a state-led effort to combat it. additionally we are at an interesting moment eight months in, kind of been here before with a big surge. how are you thinking about things this time around differently from when you faced it in april and may? >> good to be with you, tony. first of all, we're at the front end of a holiday season that comes one after the other in cold weather, and that's a bad combination. secondly, there's a lot of pandemic fatigue that we didn't have in the spring. thirdly, a lot of the transmission is in private settings, so yes, are we taking surgical action? you betcha, closing indoor dining at 10:00, limiting indoor gatherings to ten persons, and other steps we've taken, but we're mostly pleading with people to do the right thing behind closed doors, celebrate with just your immediate family and please, don't do it with grandma and grandpa. >> when you think back to april and may, the last time we had a surge like this, you can't help but n

emily murphy has done a great job, but the gsa does not determine who the next president

emily murphy, trump appointee, said she was not pressured to do anything. trump obviously seems to be clearly taking credit. i recommended she do this. i am the one calling the shots. you have been very clear that this withholding of a transition from the gsa and emily murphy as the chief could have been in violation of federal law. do you believe any laws were broken in this delay? >> i do think that laws were broken in this delay, but i think the important thing now is to move forward. whether it is her decision or trump's decision doesn't matter. the fact is that we're now fully into the transition and all of the harm she has done, which cannot be undone, a lot of people, i think, will die because she dragged her feet as much as she did. but i feel like celebrating. and we now know for sure, as we knew before, but now it's without the slightest doubt, that joe biden is the president-elect. he will be the president of the united states. he's forming his cabinet. he's governing more from outside the government than our pathetic president is from within the

the gsa administrator, murphy, sent an official letter recognizing biden as the winner and president elect. murphy explained quote because of recent developments involving legal challenges and certification of election results i have determined that you may access the post- election resources and services described in section three of the act upon request. >> well, i think today she may of sent it because of the michigan decision that pretty much makes it impossible for the president to find any route towards winning the election. >> reporter: the dean of the berkeley school of public policy says murphy was following precedent trying to wait for one side to concede. >> it happen inside 2000. a decision was not made until after gore's concession speech that was december 14th. >> the trump campaign and allies lost 27 court cases challenging election results and the growing number of republicans say it is time for president trump to concede. >> at some point you exhaust those possibilities. i think the president has reached that point in pennsylvania. >> you have an obligation to presen

i want to thank emily murphy at the gsa for her steadfast dedication and loyalty to her country. she's been harassed, threatened and abused and i do want to see this happen to her, her families or employees of gsa. our case strongly continues, we'll keep up the good fight and we'll prevail. nevertheless in the best interest of our country i'm recommending emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and

we have also learned that murphy was surprised or even shocked when she saw that tweet from presidenthe sent the letter to the biden team to the president-elect where he essentially said he was recommending to emily murphy and her team that they ascertain this election, that she had had no direct communication with him and, again, was surprised to see that he was somehow toing credit for this action. >> fascinating all of this as we are learning how it's replying out. in the meantime, there is also this letter that was viewed by cnn. president trump's chief of staff mark meadows notified staff about the ascertainment and put up boundaries when it came to cooperation writing, quote. how am i supposed to interpret that? >> look. there are strict rules in place. they are reaching out to the agency review teams we saw biden send out that long list of people from health to the arts to sciences. that is who the transition coordination is supposed to talk to. doesn't always work this way. there are informal conversations particularly among national security folks who want a feel for it. we h
