raphael warnock will join us at the end of this hour. the two senate campaigns in georgia will determine which party controls the united states senate. and that's why raphael warnock getting tonight's last word is so important as we approach that january 5th runoff. and as we complete this record-breaking fifth day of silence from donald trump, the restoration of sanity is fully under way with the selection of ron klain as the next white house chief of staff. i suppose i should be more careful with the word "next" because with 70 days left, donald trump still has time to fire his fourth white house chief of staff and perhaps a fifth and a sixth. but ron klain will be the white house chief of staff beginning at 12:00 noon on january 20th and he will be the most qualified white house chief of staff in the history of that position. ron klain will be the white house chief of staff whose past work experience in the white house in multiple roles means he will need less on-the-job training than any previous white house chief of staff. it doesn'

>> that is not the raphael warnock that i've met, not th e ebenezer that i have attended. on't go to ensneezer, i go to more theologically conservative churches and nothing that i find about warnock that i find scary. i think that sometimes people forget, you know, within american christian dom that the reason why white evangelicals have the force that they have is in part because the overall evangelical numbers are being propped up by people of color who are not scared by the critique of power and seeking power at all costs and trying to cloak it in the facade of christi christianity. >> so i want to add to what jumps off what she said. to me this is white identity politics. i think what reverend warnock said you could find in almost any white church. so what is the best counter to it, really are they just dog whistling people who never will be vabl to vote if him anyway? >> i think that this is white identity politics but this beyond ignorant, this is also dangerous. we know what happened to trinity church in chicago. peeve w people who fed into that then launched credibl

i would welcome another chance to debate raphael warnock. we had a debate. i had the opportunity in that debate to show how radical his agenda is, and we are just getting started. so i welcome that opportunity also show what i've done for georgians since getting into the senate in january. i've hit the ground running, delivered for georgians during the pandemic to bring relief, and also holding people accountable, like raphael warnock for their comments supporting folks like fidel castro, inviting them into his church. at the same time criticizing police officers. georgians need to know who he is and i welcome the chance to debate him as many times as he wants. >> laura: are you worried about the outside money pouring in? the republicans are raising a lot of money as well. packed, super pac, senate majority fund. your campaign directly. but hollywood is pouring money in. john legend said it's more important than anything else going on, this runoff. are you worried? >> look at, chuck schumer made it very clear that if we take georgia, he said, we will change

i think it's something that raphael warnock and jon ossoff can use to demonstrate to their base and tozed democrats and activists and independents who helped us take georgia that this is a president who is unfit to take office, who is incompetent, who in the face of a pandemic that has taken more than 240,000 american lives, the only thing that he cares about is his own political future. he cannot let go and look at reality. he does not want to focus on a transition and a peaceful transfer of power which is the bedrock of democracy. i think they can use it to their advantage to show georgians that this is not a president who is fit for office, and therefore what does that say about the senate candidates that he's supporting? >> alice, to you. are you convinced that the president will come to georgia -- i say come to georgia as i'm in atlanta -- come to georgia to support these runoff races? listen, we know this president does things that are politically beneficial to and for himself. and even in 2018 those rallies in the mid-terms were about him. he didn't invite the candidates to come

joining us now democratic candidate reverend raphael warnock. t, kelly loeffler to join us as well this morning. she declined. reverend warnock, thank you so much for joining us. you and matt liebermann received combined 35.7% of the vote. the republican voters received 45.8% of the vote. from a math perspective, how do you intend to make up that deficit and why did so many georgiaens vote for president-elect biden and not for you. >> good morning, jake, it's great to be with you. we are in a strong position in this race. i got in on january 30th. i'm a first-time candidate. while folks are focused on people at the top of the ticket, the fact is there were 21 people in my race, 21. and there were 10 people with a d next to their name. and because the names were listed alphabetically and my name is warnock, i was the next -- the person next to the last person on the list. and i finished first handily, far ahead of a candidate who's the wealthiest member of congress who poured millions of dollars into this race. and we finish first degree hed posit

also have to remind voters, what the senate does and why it's so critical that jon ossoff and raphael warnock represent the state of georgia and help determine the future of our country. we know that the strategy is, one, to educate voters about the senate races and about our two candidates, two, to raise the level of resources that we need to reach pockets of the state of georgia that still don't believe in their power to be heard. three, we need to do the work of making sure that we protect the right to vote. we are watching the two sitting senators do their best to create disinformation and to disenfranchise voters, and even they're willing to attack their own people to create the object fuse occasion that you spoke of earlier about who should be able to win. so, our responsibility is to educate those voters, mobilize those voters, then protect their right to vote so that we can get to victory in january. >> so, your strategy couldn't be further away, apart from what the republicans have done in this election. your organization registered as many as 800,000 voters in the past two years. da

the democratic senate candidate raphael warnock, who of course ran in the three-way race with senatorngressman collins, got 33% of the vote in his race. right? the two republicans got 46%. but he got 33%. which when you look at it versus joe biden is a significant underperformance. right? 16 percentage points below joe biden. >>> is that a warning sign for the democrats. >> we take the numbers as what they are. we had 21 people running for this. georgians understand the moment of history they are in. what we have been able to pull in georgia relates to the presidential race, we are ready for two democratic senators here. t the two republican senators calling for the resignation of a republican secretary of state. i mean obviously they clearly worried that georgia is roaring. >> cannibalism is a good word within their own party. the republican candidates are making a case, vote for them is a check for biden's power in washington. senator perdue you heard in there. we win these two races, we save the senate and the country. this is what is at stake. how do democrats count for that? you

i'll speak to raphael warnock ahead. >>> hello. i'm jake tapper in washington, where the state of our union is in a dangerous place. there is no denying it. the coronavirus is surging across the united states. new cases have now topped 100,000 for 12 days in a row. on friday, the u.s. saw the highest daily count since the pandemic began, with more than 184,000 new cases on that one day. deaths are also rising, an average of more than 1,000 deaths a day for the last four days. the virus has already killed more than 245,000 americans with a critical model warning that another 200,000 americans could die by march, because of the virus. the country did receive some good news this week. great news, really, about the potential for a highly effective vaccine, but nothing has yet been approved. and experts worry that the worst will come before the vaccine is widely available. make this moment even more potentially perilous, the president of the united states who this morning tweeted that "he won because the election was rigged," then the p

hard to imagine a sound bite like that in connection to raphael warnock really helps that much. >> well, i think you're in georgia, this is the same thing that was done to president obama in 2008 when he was running for president and it's a wholesale attack on the black church and black freedom ideology. what we're seeing from loeffler saying that people was incorrect and abhorrent to atta atta attack amy coney garrett and-- >> there's a difference for that and raphael warnock, and that's attacking what what someone said. >> and pastor jeremiah wright, for seconds, we do not hold jerry falwell to this and this is seen as an attack on the-- >> is that motivated the way that president trump's comments motivated the turnout. >> when the senate seat was up for grabs, many thought it was going to be someone who a was a movement conservative like a doug collins or even newt gingrich and she's spent less time defining herself and less time attacking pastor warnock or wnba players. leland: the pollsters say right now they give loeffler and purdue about a 5% over/under here in this race using a

schumer has hisha radical change agents in raphael warnock in my race. he has he' attacked our police officers, calling them gangsters, thugs, bullies, a threat to our children. he would of defund the police. he said we should empty our pri utsons. he would turn violent criminals into our streets. he said you can't serve in the military and serven god. he would defund the police, ddefund the military, and make our communities less safe. so i've been proud to stand with president trump to keepta our communities safe, to stand with men and women of law enforcement and to stand our economy back up and to create jobs and opportunities that lift everyone up. tsthat's what his election is about. maria: senator, we're going to be talking with president trump in a few minutes and of course as you know he is contesting the results of this presidential election because of what he calls massive fraud. how worried are you about fraud in the georgia runoff races in january? >> well, maria, we have a very strong field organization. we are goingng to monitor and verify

so we should listen to raphael warnock and his team, and we should listen to jon ossoff and their teamknow, i am a graduate of ms. abrams school for democracy defenders, and people should be li listening about what it takes to win in georgia. >> i have spoken to several graduates of the abrams school of black girl magic. you all have been successful through the years. i have been one of the cynics about georgia. i thought this was a reddish state. some people told me it was a purple state. now it is a blue state. you've got a lot of critics who say only a republican can win a runoff in georgia. how do you respond to those k critics? >> when are in an unprecedented situation. the conventional wisdom as to what it takes to win in georgia has not served any of us well. i think there has been a sort of shuffling of the board and people should understand that georgia, as america's newest battleground state, is just that. it is a battleground that they need to fight for every vote. and we're going through, again, a pandemic, and we're talking about christmas and thanksgiving and hanukkah and

then you've got reverend raphael warnock, the democrat, against republican kelly loeffler.tion, so there were a lot of candidates in that race, and they were the top two candidates that will be moving forward. so what we saw at these parties throughout the weekend were democrats already registering volunteers to work for the ossoff and warnock campaigns. and a lot of people also talking about crediting stacey abrams, the gubernatorial candidate from two years ago, democrat, who with her campaign and the work that followed in the last two years, people say that's really what drove the turnout for democrats this time around. here's what abrams said today about democrats' chances for these two senate seats. >> this is the first time that we will have three things happen. one, we've got jon ossoff and raphael warnock at the top of these tickets working together to make certain that voters come back. number two, we will have the investment and the resources that have never followed our runoffs in georgia for democrats. and, number three, this is going to be the determining facto

tonight. >> thank you. >> raphael warnock gets tonight's last word. "the 11th hour" with brian williams starts now. ♪ >>> well, good evening once again. day 1,392 of the trump administration, leaving 70 days until inauguration day. it's been four days since the 2020 presidential election was called for president-elect joe biden. donald trump's powers as president expire at 12:00 noon on the 20th of january. today again, though, our nationn set a new and dark record as the coronavirus is now moving and multiplying and escalating at an alarming and deadly level. the experts, many of them on this broadcast, warned us for months that we would see exactly this as the colder weather set in, and they were right. another one-day record for new cases has been shattered. over 144,000 of them just today. according to nbc news. we lost over 1,500 people in just these last 24 hours. the spread is uncontrolled in virtually every state. that's according to data from the covid exit strategy. and now indeed the president is surrounded by it. two more people at that wh

i think with raphael warnock's. he skated without any exposure of his record.e at a camp he ran, he genuinely was jeremiah wright's best supporter in georgia. let's remember what jeremiah wright said from his pews or from his church in chicago as barack obama and michelle obama didn't just sit in his church for 20 years. jeremiah wright married the two of them. jeremiah wright said things like 9/11 were america's chickens coming home to roost. he said not god bless america. god damns america. he was so radical, so extreme that barack obama ultimately repudiated the man who married him to his wife. yet raphael warnoc raffaele ware deserves to be celebrated. jeremiah wright said anti-met particular things. raphael warnock said israel built on apartheid as if it wasn't the biblical homeland of the jewish people and they stole that land from the palestinians and oppressing them ever since. this the is record of raphael warnock that has not been exposed and will be exposed over the next two months. brian: i think you just did it. steve: james carville the democratic

these are the two democrat candidates, raphael warnock and jon ossoff.martin luther king was a pastor in the ‘60s. these are the republican encumbents, senators kelly loeffler and david perdue. he won 49.8% of the vote, just shy of what he needed to secure his seat. so both parties are now focused on the run offs on 5january. if the democrats win both votes, that would make it 50 seats a piece and kamala harris would have a deciding vote in the senate, that's a big if, of course. otherwise, republicans will control the senate which will make joe biden's life far harder. i guess my question to you is how close is this in reality? do the democrats have a realistic chance? they certainly have a chance. you just have to look at the results of the presidential election last week where joe the presidential election last week wherejoe biden the presidential election last week where joe biden got the presidential election last week wherejoe biden got more votes than donald trump. if the people's vote that voted forjoe biden show up again and these democratic deb

reverend raphael warnock is "outfront."s shutting down roads in this country, now including a thoroughfare in new york city. we have details on the ground after this. we can't always keep our distance. but we can still help protect each other this flu season by getting vaccinated. if you're 65 or older, get the superior flu protection of fluzone high-dose quadrivalent. it's the only 65+ flu vaccine with four times the standard dose. and it's free with medicare part b. fluzone high-dose quadrivalent isn't for people who've had a severe allergic reaction to any flu vaccine or vaccine component, including eggs or egg products. tell your health care professional if you've ever experienced severe muscle weakness after receiving a flu shot. people with weakened immune systems, including those receiving therapies that suppress the immune system, may experience lower immune responses. vaccination may not protect everyone. side effects include pain, redness, and/or swelling where you got the shot, muscle ache, headache, and general

we're going to keep bending that arc. >> raphael warnock, i can't talk tonight. tonight. good luck. >> always good to be with you. thanks. >> reverend warnock, again, is going to be a run-off against the appointed republican senator kelly loeffler. that will happen in january. i just want to point out one other thing about georgia. with the number of votes in georgia right now, 93%, 94% of the vote in right now, that other georgia seat could potentially go to a run-off as well. right now republican incumbent david purdue is sit sitting at 50.3%. you have to be at 50% to avoid a run-off. if he goes below 50% as the rest of the vote comes in in georgia and jon ossoff holds david purdue below 50%, then that georgia senate race will also be the subject of a run-off on january 5th. this as the presidential race in georgia is now a one-point matchup with 6% of the vote, 5% of the vote still to come in. thatremaining 5% of the vote could be coming in late tonight, early tomorrow. we don't know. stay with us. lots more to come here on msnbc. water? why?! ahhhh! incoming!

but democrats raphael warnock and john ossoff think they can make history here. >> i think that these incumbent republican senators just felt entitled to an easy dance back to victory. >> reporter: conventional wisdom says the democracts shouldn't win, that they do poorly in runoffs here, but joe biden is proving that things change. holding onto a heat in a state that president obama lost twice. sitting senators david perdue and kelly loeffler are trying to beat the democrats. >> in january, i have one of the most radical opponents on the democrat ticket. >> reporter: at the same time, they're calling for the resignation of one of their own. georgia's republican secretary of state, who ran the election and says he's not going anywhere. there are republican leaders in this state, more than one, who say they don't believe there was any widespread fraud in this election and say it's unlikely the president will get a victory here. his people are already asking for a recount. stacey abrams, who ran for governor, is running a massive get out the vote effort that has raised millions of dolla
