we are told he will be a member of the national security council, first time someone dedicated strictlyo climate is on national security council. interesting in that respect. also seeing new secretary of department of homeland security, and he is going to be the first latino and first immigrant to serve, be nominated to serve as secretary of department of homeland security. so that's sending a dramatic message after the last four years of the trump administration as well. moving on through this list that we're getting now, nia, we're getting the name of the new director for the director of national intelligence, leader of the intelligence community in the united states, avril haynes. former deputy director of the cia, so she would be the first woman to be in this position as well, veteran of the obama/biden administration. her name has been in the mix. this is something that's clearly, you can see the cabinet taking shape before us. it is living up so far to the pledge that joe biden made that he is going to have a cabinet that looks like america. we're also getting some other names now

national security priority? john kerry will be reporting to president-elect joe biden, when his national security council meets. not will be his focus on the national security council. some reaction to that specific question. stephanie in michigan says absolutely, climate change should be a priority. there is no planet b. paul says not if the rest of the world isn't going to address the problem. sally saying the pentagon published a report about the national security risks of climate change back in 2014. mary saying climate change affects all life on earth. if not addressed, it will kill or displace aliens. there are no vaccines to cure this problem -- displace billions. there are no vaccines to cure this problem. you can join in the conversation ext, (202)-748-8003. you can call like sally did out of new york, independent. good morning. caller: good morning. host: go ahead. glad toi was just so see john kerry. i hadn't seen him for a long time. talk with mr. gore, who should have won the election years ago. as far as i'm concerned, he actually did. climate change is the biggest thing on earth. we are not going

ambassador, who will be back in a cabinet position, meaning she will have a seat on the national security council. expertise also because all six of these pix are veterans of foreign policy, of national security, veterans of t obama administration and most of them actually worked in the agencies they will be leading. that is true of antony blinken, who is deputy secretary of state. it really gives the idea that joe biden has said before announcing thate wanted people who knew what they were doing and people who represented the united states, and he said he wanted a team that would be ready on day one of the biden administration. this as donald trump is still stalling and not going along with the transition process. it is important to have these people who know how things work, who have the contact, and who will be ready to start working on january 21. charli: donald trump used the phrase america first to sum up his foreign policy. what do these choices signal about the foreign policy direction a biden administration would go toward? reporter: first of all, the symbol of announcing them in a certa

bush administration to the obama administration, i was at the white house then at the national security counciling classified briefings for the incoming national security team more than six months out. that's widely considered to be the gold standard. this ain't that. chris: donna, president-elect biden has been playing down the fact he's not getting these daily intelligence briefings, saying it would be helpful, but it's not necessary. however, his new white house chief of staff, ron klain, took a sharp orer tone this week. take a look. >> he's entitledded, under the statute, to get those kinds of briefings. the vice president-elect's entitled to get those types of briefings, and hopefully they will be forthcoming very soon. chris: donna, privately how angry, how frustrated is the biden team with the fact that they can't get going on this transition? >> well, as you recall, chris, during the long saga of 2000 that i was involved in as campaign manager for al gore, then-president clinton began to offer briefings to the incoming president, george w. bush. i think it's vital that president-elect

you'll be the first time official to sit on the national security council, he was the last democraticecretary of state. the next one? antony lincoln buried >> i know tony buried >> he was in the room with obama as navy sees killed osama bin laden, now the longtime biden aid will be nominated as america's top diplomat. >> he was part of our inner circle and all of our key meetings throughout my presidency. >> there are ties to the clinton state department too. longtime aide jake sullivan will be national security advisor. >> wicked smart, young, energetic and i think is going to be outstanding. >> and bernie sanders waits for an announcement about the job he wants, labor secretary, so far progressives are 0 for 7 filling spots in the biden cabinet. elizabeth warren has been passed over for treasury secretary. her former fed chair jenny ellen will be the first woman to ever have that job. biden is going for more firsts as the department of oman security, the first latino and immigrant nominee, alejandra mallorca's will answer the dashboard director of national intelligence, the first wo

and things are looking that way now, we'll have a very professional transition from the national security councilstion about it. >> it wasn't a full throttled admission, but it seems like he made the admission that joe biden is the president-elect. are we expecting more to come? >> that seems to be where the messaging is moving. it is moving in baby steps. first we started seeing last week talk about "well, even if biden doesn't ultimately become the president, we'll start the briefi inings briefings, no harm done there." also i'm hearing from folks that there is a theep if we have to glet get to december 14th, once the electoral college votes, then they will say well, we don't agree with the results, the election was stolen from us, but the electors have voted and now we have to move forward from here. that is almost a month away still. we are starting to see a few cracks in the g.o.p., but the one to watch for is mitch mcconnell and what he does next. as far as people who have influence in the republican party he is number two behind the president at this point. >> and we will certain i will be

national security adviser says it appears biden won the election. in comments made last week at a global security forum but just made public today, robert o'brien said the national security councilpreparing for a, quote, very professional transition. >> if the biden-harris ticket is determined to be the winner, and obviously things look that way now, we'll have a very professional transition from the national security council. there's no question about it. >> with me now is john podesta, who was white house chief of staff in the clinton administration. he was also co-chair of barack obama's transition team in 2008 and is also the founder and director of the center for american progress. mr. podesta, always great to see you. thank you so much for spending some time with us today. it's quite something the way that robert o'brien frames whether joe biden won the election or not is news at this point, but that's where we are because this president has refused to concede and even that comment is -- represents a break from the president for a member of his core team. but i'm hoping you can take us behind the scenes of what you did in 2008 as you were trying to transition from george w

that will be a position on the national security council that will give that issue of climate a really high profile, just by dent of the fact that kerry's going to be the one holding that job. the former fed chair, janet yellen, who president trump vilified and then didn't appoint for a second term, will be back to government service, this time as treasury secretary, first woman to serve as treasury secretary in our nation's history. homeland security secretary will be alejandro ma giourkas. he was in the obama administration under secretary jeh johnson and is the first latino to head that agency. the director of national intelligence will be another first, first time a woman has held that job. it will be avrial haynes. she's worked with biden forever, is a former deputy director of the cia and former senior intelligence official. jake sullivan will be national security adviser. he was the top national security adviser to biden as vice president. now he will be so to biden as president. the united nations ambassador will be linda thomas-greenfield. she was the head of the foreign servi

he is at the table in the national security council, in the white house.e knows better than anyone how you can be not in the game if you are over at the state department even if you're not in sync with the president of the united states. >> yeah. and also, i mean, who better than john kerry to be able to pick up the phone and call, you know, heads of state and secretaries of state around the country, around the world and be able to talk about those priorities kind of a first-name basis, it's a really interesting approach. and i think it's new. it's different. and hopefully gives some heft to the issue. >> and what about avril haines? i assume you worked withler. she was deputy cia director, you were an analyst. >> we worked together when she was at the white house. and i was actually just texting with her, congratulating her. she's fantastic and methodical, thoughtful person. someone who understands the role of the intelligence community and what it's supposed to be by law. what it can be. and i think having her at the helm -- obviously i was in the office

i would be really sorry for my country when my supreme leader, my president, the national security council an excellent relationship with europe, and some rogue elements, they undo. but you cannot blame the government, the state. we can very, very confidently assert that any activity beyond iran's borders, whether that is terrorist activity, the assassination of political dissidents, that will have come from top—down. iran's regime is, afterall, an authoritarian regime. it is very tightly controlled. and all of these activities are very, very well—planned, carefully co—ordinated and executed, using the iranian state's privileges abroad. for almost a year, the trail went cold. then, in november 2019, i received a tip—off about a threat against another iranian dissident, based in the netherlands. i'm on my way to a tv station in the hague. one of the presenters has been threatened. he is under the dutch police protection. hidden away in these backstreets are the anonymous studios of ahwazna tv. it broadcasts to iran's minority arab population and has close links to the asmla group. their mes

security and a groundbreaking diplomat at the united nations. we're going to have a principle on the national security council's full-time job is to fight climate change for the first time ever that will occur among the key nominations former secretary of state john kerry chosen as climate czar and biden's longtime adviser antony blinken selected as secretary of state, former president barack obama told washington post the president elect has tapped the right people for the job calling lincoln wicked smart young. >>energetic. and i think going to be outstanding so you're seeing a team develop that i have great confidence diplomas. confirmed. it will be the honor of my life to help guide the president elect biden who face transition roadblocks following his election victory will soon have clearance to information like daily classified briefings and funding for his new administration. >>emily murphy be head of the general services administration confirmed on monday in the slider that the smooth and peaceful transfer of power can formally begin say she reached her decision independently and without pressure from the white house this gives biden ac

national security stuff. i am not going to reveal that now. these decisions will be up to the president, of course, and the national security council. we are working on a number of options. the china is very much undermines. secretary pompeo has been a great leader on this. more will be forthcoming, but not at the moment. robert: really appreciate your time this afternoon, larry kudlow. thank you. larry: thank you, appreciate it. robert: thank you all for joining us today for another washington post conversation. don't miss our election daily show every day monday through friday at 1:00 p.m. eastern now through next week, to go over the latest headlines, talk to reporters, then on newsmakers on friday, i will be joined by peter navarro, who works along larry kudlow in the white house, representative, lisa blunt rochester, at 1:00 p.m. eastern on friday right here at washington post live and at 3 p.m. -- 3:00 p.m., my colleague robin given will talk to will.i.am, one of the legendary musicians over the last 20 years who was very popular when i was in high school and college. he will be here talking to robin. make sure to stop by for

a special presidential envoy for climate, john kerry will sit on the national security council with ae to make the environment central across the government. but there is some skepticism the washington insiders being chosen will be the ones to deliver a fresh policy thinking the president elect promising. >> these transition developments as well as progress on coronavirus vaccines have helped push markets to record levels. the dow jones stock index reached above 30,000 for the first time in its history on tuesday. in a very brief white house appearance, donald trump took the credit for that market high. let's go to our correspondent. when we stay brief, we mean brief, right? >> very brief indeed. precisely 64 seconds. that was the time it took donald trump to make that statement claiming to be responsible for that massive surge in the stock market. there had been some speculation about what he would say. he took credit for the stock market surge and there was no talk of any concession whatsoever and he is continuing to tweet out he will not concede, that he still considers the elector

bush, including on his national security council and state department. let's talk about what this means in terms of where we are going in this country. robert, with these picks, who you've worked with in the past, worked with in the obama administration, is this going to be what some are going -- or have gone so far as to say is the obama third term? >> no. i don't believe so. because i think if you look at the issues this administration faces, one, there are a lot more of them, even given what we inherited in 2008 and into 2009, but if you look at issues like immigration or climate change, there are new solutions that have to be dived into here in order to make progress. secretary kerry spoke pretty eloquently about this around climate change. and i think the idea that you can do what worked or what was planned in 2008, 2009 or 2010 just really doesn't work anymore. i was struck by the fact that they underscored the idea of truth-telling, they underscored the idea of believing in science, and about having honest conversations with the principle. so, i t

about to also be on the national security council. so they're looking for that biden doctrine. it clearly the climate change is apparently going to be important. also, multilateralism, multinational alliances will be important, but in the end with by he goes with his gut and he's famous for always going with personal relationships. he's very close to benjamin netanyahu. for example, during the arab spring, he was famous for being because of his closeness to hosni mubarak, not wanting to support the opposition to hosni mubarak in the obama administration . what was there even that we shouldn't cause mubarak a dictator? so there's always this combination of suspicion of intervention, but also his foreign policy, foreign policy, personal relationships. and there's an interesting dynamic now between the foreign policy blog which is putting around him, which is very much old school, washington foreign policy establishment. and the wild card himself, good stuff there from should have written. see thanks for that. you have a look at how the new administration takes being received amon
