peter doocy, thank you. wow. the d.o.j. has the f.b.i. out in force. officials are monitoring 86 jury is dick shuns. more than they were watching in 2020. more than 100 legal challenges around the elect have already been filed. in georgia the state supreme court gave republicans awin. cobb county can only receive mail-in ballots by 7:00 p.m. on election day. >> we've been here before and really a good thing to do just two things. one is don't change the rules at the last minute. the second thing is err on the side of access and transparency. get poll workers in there. allow transparency. what fueled a lot of the distrust was the litigation that could have been avoided by people of good faith saying let's share as much as we can. >> harris: there was also a win for elon musk, a judge ruled he can proceed with his $1 million a day voter sweepstakes. justice correspondent david spunt is in washington, d.c. we kind of already know what's going on with elon musk. he posts as he breathes. how much of a victory seth? >> it was a victory in the keystone state

senior white house correspondent peter doocy has more live from the north lawn. vening, bret and martha. the biggest democratic party party of the decade is here in washington, d.c. tonight and president biden will not be there. at howard headquarters. and rather at howard for harris headquarters. if you are keeping score at home president biden is the one who got harris elected the first time and raised millions of dollars for the re-election effort and tonight officials tell us he is going to be watching the returns on the tv in residence are long time aides. he will be getting regular updates. we did see them wheeling some big screens into the first floor a little while ago. haters for president with would still be biden for president if he didn't decide for new voices, fresh voices and yes, younger voices and for that he is going to have a quiet night in this house that she has spent a billion dollars trying to move into. bret? maury. >> martha: what a sequence of events this has been peter between the disastrous debate and dropping out in the middle of july f

but first, peter doocy is live at the white house. he's got more on all of this. arris clear up anything in her final message to voters? >> not exactly, sandra, and there has been this idea that harris was not going to talk about trump so she could keep the closing message completely a positive about herself, but that has ended because she is doing a handful of battleground state radio interviews today, and she is talking about trump and the criticism he has of her. >> i'm not going to get distracted by that noise. and it is, it's really demeaning for them as much as anything. like, you let that come out of your mouth? >> vice president harris remains risk-averse, never really explain her evolution on policy, never really going off script at her rallies, and according to "the new york times," having a hard time sticking the landing on something silly. the subway takes podcast never wound up posting the interview with harris because things seem to have gotten so awkward. the times reports what happened was a dispute over harris' take brought by the host said he had

>> gillian: peter doocy at 1600 pennsylvania avenue for us tonight. you. >> what i would like to do larry, is make america great again by making the senate work again. >> i represent exactly what the trump team wants and what trump wants. and what the american public wants. >> a lot of that is going to be shaped now by president trump and his big landslide victory which i think mandate to work with him and his team on an agenda that guilty america back on track. >> let's talk about senate leadership fight going on and other political headlines with fox news chief political analyst brit hume. we got john thune, rick scott, trump's demanding that this appointment recess time they are all making their pitches in the media this week. but interestingly, trump has been making an extra special push for senator scott. i'm curious if you think that's going to help him with his senate colleagues have to vote him into the position or backfire. >> vivek ramaswamy and elon musk and others who are supporting senator scott. i actually think senator scott is kind of

stuart: good stuff, peter doocy right there. thanks very much for joining us.everyone, listen to this. liberal media pundits like whoopie goldberg and james carvelle war positive that kamala harris was going to win the election. >> we're going tariff take outt the trash in washington d.c. and her name is kamala harris. >> the next president of the united states. >> [applause] >> i think it's going to be a blowout actually. i don't think it's a close race. i think there are going to be those republicans that just vote for harris. >> could be tied on election day as always the polls will be tied and he will lose. >> harris over 270 electoral votes. she's going to win. >> trump is toast. do you stand behind that today? >> even moreso. i feel the same way that i felt a few weeks ago that trump is toast. stuart: i'm sorry. i should resist laughing. >> [laughter] stuart: i really should but i did want to see that kind of thing and i want to see the reversal too. this gentlemen is charlie hurt, whose been on the air all night. >> we couldn't be laughing at better peop

. >> sandra: but we begin with peter doocy live outside the white house for us. so.f activity there today. what exact we happened do we know so far behind closed doors in that meeting? >> we know that president trump was here a lot longer than his schedule showed us. nearly two hours on campus. we don't know how much of that was in the oval office with president biden. and the huge group of reporters that was kind of forming a crescent moon shape outside of the west wing with hopes that donald trump would come and give us a readout himself of what happened is breaking up because he decided just to get in the motorcade, head back to trump force one. they are going to let the biden side have the first crack at writing this first draft of history of this historic meeting when karine jean-pierre and jake sullivan stepped to the podium any minute now. they told us they wouldn't start until donald trump left. he's gone. and the whole part of this meeting that they let cameras in for was short enough, we don't have to clip any of it. this is what happened. >> hello, mr. pre

bret: peter doocy is live at the white house, what he's hearing from the harris campaign and the harris. >> reporter: and we'll start with what we're hearing here at the white house, and that is nothing. they told us that president biden and some longtime advisers were inside watching the results come in on tv, but we have been here outside, and we have been noting that a lot of lights that were on within the white house at least from the part that we can see have been turning off. so it seems like some folks around here may be taking the campaign co-chair jen o'malley dillon's assed -- advice that they should prepare for ultimate results in the morning. three big change in the way that the harris team has been presenting their case to to us in the last couple hours. as results started coming in, they were telling us where they saw a silver lining in all of the battleground states. they were also telling us they thought they had a. [applause] if, case the win in all seven battleground states and something over the last 36 hours they've been pushing a lot is that they thought trump could

senior white house correspondent peter doocy is here.i mean, you can already feel the rumblings of these confirmation hearings, and we are we're like over a month out. what's going on behind the scenes? jesse, the president elect needs a foil. he is not campaigning ever again. he. there is no clear leader of the democratic party. and while it does seem like a lot of the republicans and democrats on capitol hill get it that he just won so convincingly that the american people want to as much of a mandate as you can have the american people want to give him a chance to get his people through. he needs something, and it seems like even with a majority, he is willing to pick a fight with these republicans in his party who seem very, very unconvinced that matt gaetz, who we have heard little birdies, have told us here in west palm beach that he has been around probably just dipping into mar-a-lago to make sure that everything is okay with the nomination. he he will wait, and he can wait until until they vote him down. if that is what it comes

. >> ainsley: peter doocy joins us. >> peter: voters wanted michael waltz to represent them in florida, but donald trump wants michael waltz as national security advisor so trump endorsed randy fine. before randy fine announced a run, that happened 45 minutes ago. >> i believe president trump was saved so he could save the world, when he said i could help him, i didn't have a choice, i'll run for sixth congressional district of florida. fighting for the border or standing up for israel and standing up toin china, i'm ready to go. >> peter: and changes in the fbi. wrays he will stay onboard, kash patel is in the mix for a top job possible at deputy level because senate confirmation is not clear after patel warned of retaliating against trump's political rivals, they may not be popular with republican senators. elon musk is in the mix, he and vivek ramaswamy are trying to hire experts to help fill out their waste government cutting doge, and trying to hire an ai czar, that could be key tool in the doge, going line by line and figu figuring out where there is waste. depending how china de

. >> brian: peter doocy has more. >> peter: democrats are done. politico is reporting, a harris staffer, we ran the best campaign we could considering joe biden was president. harris aide granted anonymity to speak freely. joe biden is singular reason kamala harris and democrats lost. that is the thanks joe biden gets for staffing up re-election campaign and handing off to harris without a primary fight. harris campaign e-mail last from dillon said, i know the vice president is not finished in this fight and very people on this e-mail will be leaders, view this as beginning, not the end. despite being rejected, vice president harris says she thinks hear case is still relevant. >> while i concede this election, i do not concede the fight that fuelled this campaign. the fight for freedom, for opportunity, for fair ninetness and dignity for all people is a fightil will never give up. >> peter: it is unlikely she would keep up that fight as democratic contender, she could someday be contender for california governor or supreme court justice. back to y

he has announced today his nominee for commerce secretary, peter doocy report live from west palm beach, florida. >> the president-elect is telling howard let nick is going to be in charge of the trump terrace. he would work with a trump treasury secretary but he has not made that pick yet. >> you look at what the treasury secretary is going to be tasked with, we have to look at tariffs and sanctions. once your interest cost exceeds 14% of your tax receipts, which is where we are now. >> the fbi director pick could come soon. j.d. vance that he was meeting with trump to interview positions for our government, including fbi director. it is important to get one who will dismantle the deep state than to lose a vote 49-46 rather than 49-45. trump is in the air, posting on truth, i am on the way to watch the largest object ever elevated, good luck to elon musk and the patriots involved in this project. there have been reports citing anonymous people that elon musk had worn out his welcome but that makes it seems like those reports are overblown. >> we will take everybody there live when matt

. >> dagen: peter doocy with more. hey, peter. >> the challenge for this elon musk, vivek ramaswamy doge government waste project. it is more complicated than it sounds. >> executive branch orders can be reversed by the next administration. we have two years of a relatively friendly congress to the trump administration. so i am hopeful elon and vivek will make inroads into the u.s. congress they need to to do and accomplish the cuts sustainably. >> we have senator joni ernst, x page. a few posts from a long thread. we're spending on under utilized buildings. bureaucrats refuse to show up for work. why pay for empty buildings. currently the federal government is paying $0.11 to make a nickel. makes no sense. only washington could lose money making money. changing the coins could save money. they also see waste in checks. >> i think most of the work of the department of government efficiency will be in some of the programs around health and human services, some of the programs around payment delivery. because we do waste

. >> lawrence: peter doocy is live at the white house. >> peter: we learned what vice president harris told her campaign staff after they lost, this is from the vice president. yeah, this sucks we all just speak truth, why don't we, according to axios report. staffers did not like the vice president's message after months being told that democracy was in danger if they lost, that of course changed after they lost. we have tape to prove it. >> he is a genuine threat to our democracy, that is not hyperbole. that is god's truth. >> donald trump is an existential threat to our democracy and our most fundamental freedoms. >> he's a genuine danger to american security. >> our freedoms are on the ballot and so is our democracy. >> is the message to people who are fearful based on what the me me messaging was -- >> you are twisting everything around, that is unfair. it is unfair. i've been standing here trying to be very respectful to what happened the last two nights ago. >> peter: michael bloomberg says it wasn't great to cover up joe biden's infirmities until they became undeniable on live

i think he'd be well served to shake up this room, only peter doocy and jacqui heinrich ask the questionsludes cbc news and moderators, they cut off j.d. vance when he was fact checking them and cbs edited kamala harris' interview. and then overall, you had 85% positive coverage of kamala harris from media overall while donald trump was equal in terms of being negative. bring in these folks, let's hear real questions and use technology where they can do it from their home studio, life is good. >> todd: if an interview schultz and thougho vaugah n get press patszs, i'm all for it. >> todd: and calling out kamala harris. >> being up against a narrative we were not doing anything or afraid to have interviews is -- and gave us another thing we had to fight back for that trump never had to worry about. >> todd: numbers don't lie, when v.p. harris started campaign it took 38 days for first solo tv interview. what is she talking about? >> joe: we used to count that down, she's nominee and 38 days go down and she's not even in front of "the view" or rachel maddow, that woman was gen o'malley dill

pardon, the signaling to the incoming team they are open to implement dieng concessions, let's go to peter doocyng us, hello peter. >> good afternoon, these americans are reportedly airborne, inbound to brooke army medical center, according to a report and a political, that is typically where they bring americans who have been held abroad first. we have a statement here at the white house, they say we are pleased to announce the release of mark swidan and kai li from detention from the people's republic of china, they will return and be reunited with their families for the first time in many years, speaking to this administration's effort and diplomacy cut all the wrongfully detained americans in the peer see her home. mr. kai li has been in jail since 2016 accused of violating security laws, mr. 60! accused of being a u.s. spy and naydamac looking at a death sentence, describing them as dubious drug charges. we do not know anything about why this is happening right now but we know the incoming president is putting pressure on china and the current president said he raised these cases for years.
