this morning president biden will address the nation from the rose garden. more on all of this from washington our correspondent. the walk to the podium to deliver the speech that no politician wants to give. but kamala harris owed it to the country to concede the election. a fundamental principle of american democracy is that when we lose an election, we accept the results. that principle, as much as any other, distinguishes democracy from monarchy or tyranny, and anyone who seeks the public trust must honour it. at the same time, in our nation, we owe loyalty not to a president or a party, but to the constitution of the united states. the party—like atmosphere from tuesday vanished. now, people unable to hide their disappointment. as the first female vice president, kamala harris has shattered glass ceilings. but one of the last remaining bastions of male privilege in america, the white house, remains intact. her history—making run for the white house coming to a crushing end. ms harris left consoling her supporters. to the young people who are watching, i

here are tran11 pictures of the white house rose garden. any minute president biden will address the nation for the first time since his party's defeat at the polls this week. he spoke with president elect donald trump yesterday to congratulate him and invite him to the white house. the speech comes as democrats grapple with the future of the party and many of harris's allies placed some of the blame on biden for not dropping out sooner. a lot of finger-pointing here this morning. as we await the president speech i'm joined by our guests. president biden's message will be straightforward. tell us more about what we are expecting to hear. >> this will be the first time president biden is speaking publicly since voters decided to send donald trump back to the white house. expected to reflect on the election results and talk about the country coming together in this moment. president biden also will be talking about the transition. advisors have insisted that he wants to ensure there is a peaceful transfer of power. that is something that was

well, clive, it was packed in the rose garden - as he was speaking.e rose garden and when president biden walked out into the bright sunshine i think he was talking to two distinct audiences. one was the group of white house staff members who were right in front of him filling the chairs that the press normally would and at times his voice really softened as he thanked them for their service, told them not to give up, and behind that on the rise as you had the assembled press, they were shouting questions at the end of that speech about what went wrong with the democratic campaign, why kamala harris was not elected, but they didn't get any answers. tonight, president biden is a few feet away from me in the west wing. he urged his supporters to make the most of the last 7a days of that term but during that time attention will be less on the white house and this place and much more where you are tonight in florida.— tonight in florida. indeed, anna foster at the _ tonight in florida. indeed, anna foster at the white _ tonight in florida. indeed, anna fo

eastern from the rose garden. concession and recrimination. the order of the day for vice president harris and democrats as they start to come to grips with a decisive defeat at the hands of president-elect trump. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: good morning to you. thursday. >> dana: do you feel like you finally took a breath? >> bill: a little bit. might need the weekend, too. i bet you need a weekend, too, america. this year's election result delivered a harsh verdict to the democrat far left wing. results in two states yet to be decided. they also may break red. stand by. all across the voter map harris falling behind with key groups who helped send biden to the white house translating to major game-changing gains for trump to send him back. democrat dean phillips earlier today said it is clearly that his party has lost touch with everyday americans. >> i don't know why democrats have not learned the lesson of what really matters. we have to listen. bernie sanders hit it on the head. we have lost to

and as far as the rose garden, you know, it was something that unfairly, frankly, mrs. trump took a lot of criticism for in the redo of the rose garden, which in reality was something that prior administrations, ours included that i worked in, kicked the can down the road for a lot of the necessary changes that needed to be made in terms of irrigation and also accessibility to be compliant with ada standards. >> on tuesday, trump named susie whiles as he's next chief of staff. making her the first woman to have owned the title. she has known him for many years. how do you see her as potentially transforming this position? >> reporter: i think that's a good word that you use in transforming. it just shows the evolution of the white house and how things always can change. and the fact that this is the first woman to serve. this is the most important job in the white house next to the president of the united states. this is the gate keeper to everything. this keeps not only trains running on time, but keeps the president's priorities focused. and needs to know everything g

i'll go to the white house as soon as we see him in the rose garden. beg your parden if i have to jump away from you, but what seems to jump out to me most is one word that is gradually. about coming rate cuts. it sets the table for what is maybe a different sort of meal that investors thought they'd be enjoying a few months back. >> i think that's a great way to put it, scott. if you -- if i continue the metaphor, hey, you're going to bring one course, we're going to finish that, bring another course and another course. take a look at the meals expected in the fed probabilities now. maybe we're going to get another course in december. it's 60% now. yeah, we're pretty much counting on getting fed. we don't know what happens in january. we don't know what happens in march. we're unclear on what happens in may. all of those are running below 50%. so scott, i don't know if the main course is coming or not, but right now it's like, and by the way, those three to the right of that 60%, are all probabilities of the same quarter point cut. it's not like one a

i think a preview of what we might hear from president biden when he speaks from the rose garden here- came from what we heard already just in the last few hours from his secretary of state tony blinken who is attending a summit of foreign minister leaders at the g-7 in italy at the moment. he talked about the fact that the u.s. has been working so hard to make this moment possible, that at that point there was not a deal just yet, but he said we were close to the finish line and talked about that the hard work, the painstaking work of diplomacy that the administration has undertaken, working directly with the israelis, but also with our regional partners, has prevented this from escalating into an even wider war. we know that there has been moments when there was concern about iran targeting israel, israel retaliating, the administration closely monitoring all the situations, but this is a real breakthrough that the president on the eve of the thanksgiving holiday, he's due to travel to nantucket where he has marked that thanksgiving holiday with his familyfor decades, he wants to ma

that phrase we heard again this week in the rose garden. - you know, the struggle for the soul of america since our very founding has always been an ongoing debate and still vital today. - jon, as a historian, what do you see was at stake in this election? - the constitutional order as you and i grew up understanding it. i believe that a president harris would've been a sequential chapter in the american story and i believe that there is a risk that the second trump term would be a wrench and something beyond that story. and again, i very much he that so many of my friends who have told me that that concern is hyperbolic, that i take what trump says too literally, i hope there right. but there's no mystery about what the country chose. and if you believe in democracy, as i do, then you can't only respect results that you like. and so i think what's at stake, what was at stake on tuesday is still at stake. we've moved from having an option besides president trump to counting on guardrails and his own instincts, his own capacity to not follow through on the kinds of things that he says. and

. >> bret: president biden in the rose garden today. joining us now israeli ambassador to the u.s.hael herzog. mr. ambassador, thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> bret: how did this come together and how hopeful are you that it actually sticks? >> this is a product of u.s. government and our government and the lebanese government. but i think the essential point to stands is that this deal was enabled by the fact that israel significantly degraded hezbollah over the last few months. hezbollah, all along tied lebanon to gaza and said they would not be a cease-fire in lebanon unless there is cease-fire in gaza this deal now connects the two. this is because hezbollah is much weaker than it used to be. i think it offers opportunity for lebanon, for the region we hope this cease-fire will hold. if it doesn't, then we can enforce it. >> bret: this is president-elect trump's incoming pick to be ambassador to israel. mike huckabee, take a listen. >> the problem is that hezbollah and its iranian backed proxies like hamas and the houthis, they have never kept an agreement. so, i think

we do know in what happens next is president biden expects to speak from the rose garden at 11:00 a.m. eastern to address the election results and watch it on c-span.org and the free c-span app. we still know there are a few races left to be called, four senate races and 38 house races left to be called and to focus on what's happening in the house for the 119th congress we're joined by a capital hill reporter via zoom. when do you think we'll know the result of the final 38 races or at least when we can say who will be controlling the house in the next congress? guest: good morning. i've spoken with some operatives and they all noted, particularly in california, it takes a long time to count these and we saw midterms the last time around some of them took weeks. talking to those operatives, republicans feel like worse case scenario they lose one seat and feeling optimistic they pick up a couple. a lot of the democrats i've talked to have been pessimistic about their odds in a lot of those races and republicans seem to be on track for keeping the house majority. host: democrats would

. >> president biden is expected to address the deal from the white house rose garden here in the next few minutes. we're going to bring those remarks to you live once they get underway. let's go to cnn's jeremy diamond, who is live in northern israel right now. jeremy what did the prime minister say about the deal well the israeli prime minister made very clear that he believes the israeli military has accomplished enough in lebanon against hezbollah over the course of the last several months and that it was now time to translate those military achievements into a political solution. >> by agreeing to this cease fire proposal that has been negotiated primarily by the united states over many, many months now. the israeli prime minister was speaking in the wake of quite a bit of criticism from both the right wing of israeli politics for moving forward with this deal, but also from several leaders from those northernmost communities in israel, where residents have been evacuated for the better part of the last year, and a couple of months now. and that's because those leaders are concern

president biden spoke from the rose garden. here is a look. >> good afternoo >> good afternoon. today i have good news from the middle east. i just spoke with the prime minister of israel and lebanon. i am pleased to announce that their governments have accepted the u.s. proposals to end the devastating conflict between israel and hezbollah. i want to thank president mccone of france for his partnership in reaching this moment. for nearly 14 months and deadly conflict raged across the border that separates israel and lebanon. the conflict began the day after the october 7 attack by hamas on israel. hours later at 2:00 a.m., hezbollah, another terrorist organization backed by iran attacked israel. let's be clear. israel did not launch this war and the lebanese people did not seek the were either, nor did the united states. over the past year including the days immediately following october seven i directed the u.s. military to flow assets and capabilities into the region including aircraft carriers, fighter squadrons, and sophisticated air defense battery to defend israel and det

he entered the rose garden to prolonged applause.were in the audience, they cheered him on. what he had to say was interesting. he said we're going to ensure a peaceful, orderly transition. we accept the choice that the people have made. he seemed to be refuting donald trump's claims of problems back in the 2020 election. he was trying to refute those claims about what he said. we accept the choice, we want a peaceful transition. he said it had -- he had a historic presidency. it takes time to get it all done. we've lost this battle, but we're going to get back. it sounded a bit like the resistance starts here, and we're going to make sure we have a peaceful transition. what did you take away from this? >> yeah. at the end he talked about getting back up, not letting defeat be a final defeat for you, not, you know, keep going. but i thought what was interesting is he said those things, and you'd expect him to say those things, but what he really couldn't say say is, okay, but how does this party in this moment given what it just endu

i want to go to our senior white house correspondent, gabe gutierrez, now, at the rose garden, gabe,n the rose garden, as you said, the president was speaking with his staff, cabinet secretary, senior aides were in the audience, but he really tried to strike a unifying tone for the country, and this is similar to what vice president harris said yesterday during her speech at howard university. really stressing the importance of a peaceful transfer of power. and this was a theme, lester, that we heard throughout president biden's campaign of threats to democracy and basically saying that we can't, the results have to be accepted, and we can't be american, we cannot support america only when we win, and that's something that he reiterated over and over again during his remarks today. now the focus shifts, lester, to the next ten weeks of his administration, and white house officials tell me he will be focusing on several things which he alluded to here, more aid for ukraine, further implementing some of the legislation that his administration passed, including that infrastructure law,

so just about one hour from now in the rose garden. they did not name obviously, though, that decision to -- for him to be in the rose. so we'll see what he has to say in the rose garden. i want to go back to something that keir said, which is that there are still a lot of question marks, aaron. what are the question marks that are still out there, do you think, and is there any question at all, however, about whether or not in this cabinet meeting tonight this gets approved? >> i think the prime minister would not have gone out and played the role of master strategist and politician if he wasn't sure this deal was going to get done. this is a transaction, chris. it is not a transformation. and i think it is really quite extraordinary that we will not know, 60-day period of implementation, which paradoxically will extend beyond the president-elect's inauguration. and it is kuwait conceivable given the vulnerabilities of this agreement that you're going to see violations. whether or not this would crater between now and the end of the ye

striking to me president biden addressed the nation from the rose garden as then-president obama didst time. tell us a little bit more about his remarks yesterday. you know, he has of course, conveyed trump to an existential threat to our democracy, but yet pledged to adhere to the tenets of america's founding and a peaceful transfer of power. >> yeah. it was eight years to the day -- nearly to the day when obama and biden were there in the rose garden, you know, i think he tried to say that there's, you know, a peaceful transfer of power that will come. he praised kamala harris' campaign and tried to keep his team engaged and talk about some of the accomplishments that they made, but, you know, i think behind the scenes, there's a lot of frustration with biden right now that he, you know, ran for a second term and took so long after that debate to get out of the race, you know, we certainly saw some of that in a tweet from david plouffe, a harris adviser that said, you know, we dug into it. we were dug into a deep hole, and we were able to get out, but it wasn't enough. that tweet w

that captured at berkeley's historic rose garden. underpass closed, impassable because of standing water. water also ponding along freeway exits across the east bay. this at the macarthur exit in emeryville. before crews closed it to drivers and across the bay bridge. look at that. drivers inundated in the pouring rain and high winds, windshield wipers working overtime, cars coming to a crawl on both decks of the bay bridge in san francisco. residents were elated that public works stayed open late so people could grab sandbags, worried for the days to come. last year, we made it through. this year we want to make it through, but if it doesn't, i want to have sandbags to give it some more time. and in flood prone areas like 18th and folsom in the city, flood barriers were up already in the north bay. the heavy rains for three straight days, waterlogged hillsides, including this one in healdsburg, a hefty mudslide. look at all of that. luckily, no one was hurt. the homeowner tells us they put down those plastic tarps trying to restrain

we are expecting president joe biden to address the nation at the white house, the rose garden for the 1st time. of course, since his parties bruising defeated the posts on tuesday at this speech due to come any moment. now we will of course, bring it to you as soon as it stops. well donald trump campaign promised to stop the war and ukraine has been wearing e lead, as they have been leasing and hungry is capital budapest, to discuss in global issues, including the future of the war. with russia, us, president elect had an uneasy relationship with the e. u. in his previous tim, i was not given many details on how we plans to end the conflict from his also promise to impose tyre some imports to the us, including those from europe. so it gets to the question for us as we prepare to defend europeans interest. i think this must be a priority. it should be known as a through and i have trans atlantic alliance know, questioning our existing alliances, or to narrow nationalism that prevents us from being up to the challenges against china and the us. this is a historic moment for your opinion

and because the president has said this many times, , you head him say this moment to go, in the rose garden, you can't love your country only when you win. and you can't love your neighbor only when you agree. the president also spoke to the board's of the integrity of the american election system. it's honest, , it's there, and it's transparent. and it can be trusted whether you win or you lose. the president and vice president are proud to be leaving behind the strongest economy in the world. and the president and the vice president are honored to have changed america for the better. that's going to be their focus in the upcoming remaining days. you heard the president say we have set a left of his administration, and they're going to make every day count on behalf of the american people. regardless regardless of who voted for them. with that. >> first off, you have an update and when the president will come -- [inaudible] >> as we said in a statement yesterday after the vice president spoke at howard university, the president invited the president elect to the white house for them to mee

and president biden in the rose garden saying peace is possible. and indicating that he hopes that this could be a start toward some kind of a deal with gaza. then there is the negative. right wing in the israeli government talking about this being a failure to bring hezbollah to its knees, this was a wrong time for a cease-fire, ordinary israelis who live in the north, tens of thousands of them talking about not wanting to go back to their homes there because they don't feel safe with hezbollah still able to operate despite the huge damage that it has taken. in fact, the idf targeted a position inside syria, just on the border as benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister has said that they are determined to continue to prevent hezbollah from rearming. and he warned too, in his televised statement, that they would -- they reserve the right, if you like, israel to strike at hezbollah any moment if there is a sign that it is trying to rearm or build tunnels or anything like that, frankly. and that, of course, raises the question about how long this ceas

moments ago, president biden in the rose garden addressing the nation, committing himself to honoring historic and constitutional mandate for peaceful transition of power on january 20th. >> i spoke with president-elect trump to congratulate him on his victory. i assured him that i would direct my entire administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and ordinarily transition. that's what the american people deserve. >> president-elect trump has yet to sign the official paperwork allowing coordination between his transition team and the biden administration. sources tell nbc news trump wants to fill his cabinet with washington outsiders, facing a premium on loyalty to him. his nominees will face a likely friendly confirmation process now that the senate is republican controlled with at least three seats in the majority. four seats still undecided. it's not clear whether democrats can take the house, can keep the house, we should say, and enable hakeem jeffries to become the first black speaker. republicans are mounting strong challenges in a large number of undecided distri

mj, let's start with biden's remarks from the rose garden. walk us through what he said. >> yeah, you know, boris and brianna, there is a line that the president over the last few years has frequently used when talking about donald trump and that line is, you can't love your country only when you win. and that was always in reference to donald trump's refusal to accept his defeat in 2020, his questioning of the integrity of the american election system. but today, when the president said this line in the rose garden, the audience was not donald trump, it was actually the millions of americans that he understands is feeling very disappointed and is feeling frustrated by the idea of donald trump coming back to the white house for another four years. the president said, you're hurting. i hear you and i see you, but what he insisted was that even though all of those feelings might be valid, the results of the election are what they are. and people around the country, even if they are disappointed, must accept those results. this is what he said.
