i want to welcome back a friend of the program, valerie jarrett.adviser to president obama. she's the author of the book "finding my voice: when the perfect plan crumbles, the adventure begins." it was a good read. valerie, good to see you again. i was surprised about the attack on obamacare. he consistently says under joe biden's plan, people will loose their employer-sponsored health care. he says the public option is socialized medicine. neither are true. and yet he says he has a plan just around the corner for some kind of health care that covers anybody and yet we have to see a demonstration of this. what do you make of this? >> good morning, velshi. you're absolutely right. he has no plan. since the c.a.r.e.s. act passed, the republicans have been saying let's repeal and replace. the problem is they have no idea how to replace it. what's at stake with the supreme court sch will hear the arguments about the affordable c.a.r.e.s. act next month, if it's struck down, the hundreds of millions of americans with pre-existing conditions run the risk

joining me now, valerie jarrett, former white house senior adviser during the obama administration and author of "finding my voice: when the perfect plan crumbles, the adventure begins." valerie, great to see you again. thank you for being with us. you tweeted about the voting going on, the early voting going on around the country. you said, 16 days until your chance to vote in this election ends. huge increases in early voting. 400% in illinois. 91% in tennessee. 69% in kansas. 62% in georgia. and in fact, we are seeing national early and absentee voting running at about 17 times where it was last election. what do you read into that? are you reading into that democratic support or something else? >> well, good morning, ali. i am definitely reading into that democratic support, beginning with the top of the ticket. vice president biden and senator harris, but also, as you mentioned in arizona, you have incredible democrats such as kelly, who's running, and all across our country, we're seeing momentum growing. but ali, i don't read too much into the polls that would let me take my foo

i put the question to valerie jarrett recently >> you are talking about the biggest, valerie we are talkingical scandal of our generation. one administration, one political party, spied on another political party -- hillary clinton paid for widow we now know that the subsource of the dossier we now know the source of the dossier told the fbi, that it was garbage hearsay early january were in the oval office meeting january 5 when joe biden said he wants to use logan act against general michael flynn? were there. >> of course, i was a not there you were president obama's right hand people wonder how many president he obama directed this so i ask you bid president obama direct any of this? >> that is not how it works that is not hour investigations work that we leave that to intelligence community, to bring forward, information, and -- and -- the dossier i imagine would be one pies of a much bigger puzzle >> all in book out right now, "the cost: trump, china and the american revival." we will preview more chapters later this week stay with us. we'll be right back. insulin injections can make

our panel reince priebus is a political analyst and president trump's first chief of staff and valerie jarrett senior viezer to president obama. vallary, let me start with you on how this debate played out. how do you think senator harris did. >> she was effective in prosecuting the case, making it compleer how the trump pence record on issues from the covid-19 response, to the economy, to foreign policy, transparency, going all the way from his health record to his tax base, i think she did a really good job ofs were cuting the case, which she was very effective at but also stating affirmative rules with joe biden harris administration would do. she did it with passion. she did it with humanity. i think she was personable. she was very comfortable in that space. and she owned the room in that sense. i was disa pownted to hear vice president pence not follow the rules again, you say okay, in debate. you don't answer the questions but i think people were listening really closely to his answer. he used his time to either go back to previous questions or to answer the question he wanted to answer

valerie jarrett, former senior adviser to barack obama. i want to get them to weigh in. valerie, let me start with you. we knew the attacks on bind's family were coming, you saw him respond by saying i released all 22 years of my tax returns. where are your tax returns? it's all out there. >> well that's right, norah. and i think tonight the winners were the american people, particularly the undecided. they had an opportunity to see both men, their competency, their track records, their temperament. and i think vice president biden did a very good speaking to the american people and framing all of their answers in the context of what it would mean to your life. i don't think the american people are interested in his son or any of those ancillary issues. they're interested in what's happening around their kitchen table and that's where i think joe biden is at his strongest from health care to covid-19 to the race relations in our country to our stature around the world. >> o'donnell: reince priebus, you follow the polls, trump won the senior vote in 2016. he is now trailin
