Be alarming. At some point here well find out finally who is certified in each of these states and the Electoral College will determine the winner and that person will be sworn in january 20th. No reason for alarm. Now, biden is going to speak here in a short time in wilmington, delaware where cnn Political CorrespondentArlette Saenz is covering the transition. Arlette, the refusal to proceed with peaceful transition of power, where should things be at this point if President Trump were not taking this extraordinary position. Reporter this is impeding important technical aspects of the transition that needs to take place. There are things like having access to Million Dollars of funding, also not having access to classified, highly classified information, having access to that or being able to discuss it. Also, just looking ahead, the transition would be unable to conduct background checks on some cabinet picks, so theres a lot thats currently in limbo for president elect bidens transition because of this decision by the gsa administrator not to sign that very important document. And biden over the course of the weekend told his allies to try to give some space to republicans and the president , to try to accept the reality of what is happening here. Now bidens allies are recognizing that they may need to step up and take on a tougher stance going forward. Transition officials said theyre considering Legal Options as a way to respond to this, as his transition now, some of that work is in limbo. Publicly, biden is still pushing forward and moving ahead with conducting some official business. We learned that the president elect has held phone calls with two world, at least two World Leaders today, british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson as well as french president macron. So he is still moving forward trying to do some of that business of this transition work and youre going to hear from biden a little later this afternoon as he talks about the Affordable Care act as the Supreme Court now is hearing arguments about the future of that law. This was the obama administrations Signature HealthCare Initiative which biden vowed to protect. He is expected to speak about that a little later this afternoon. But right now, it is his transition, some important technical aspects of it that are under threat. Arlette, thank you so much for all of that from wilmington. The president of the United States still has not conceded the race. And if the nation werent so numb to his antics it would shake america to its core and still might. Four years ago, president obama welcomed then president elect trump to the white house, traditional visit to signal peaceful transition of power. Four years ago today, former First Lady Michelle Obama welcomed Melania Trump for tea in the yellow oval room as part of the peaceful transition of power. Four years ago today. Then Vice President biden welcomed his successor mike pence to the Vice President ial residence as part of that. 12 years ago, george w. Bush welcomed barack obama as part of the peaceful transition of power. But today instead of welcoming president elect joe biden to the white house to signal a peaceful transfer of power, President Trump who lost the election is in the white house getting very mad at his Television Set if accounts by sources to cnn in the past few days are any indication. He is refusing to cooperate with peaceful transition of power that is the bedrock of our democracy. While also refusing to try to slow down a pandemic thats now worsening at an alarming rate and killing americans. Thousands of them. Instead of a badly needed intervention, his biggest enablers are bowing to the leader. The sick fanlts that get rich flaming intentions from the orbit of planet trump and his enablers at the highest levels of government. Like attorney general bill barr who is launching doj into investigation of Election Fraud, the only evidence being the president s hurt feelings. Richard pillgar, head of the office that prosecutes election crimes or was, just quit in protest. Barr is no stranger to doing trumps bidding, despite its dangers to the country. His list of acts in service of planet trump is long and questionable. Misleading the public about the findings of the mueller investigation, trying to prevent a whistleblower complaint about the president s phone call asking ukraine to investigate joe biden, from going to congress, intervening in the Michael Flynn case, in the roger stone case, firing the head of Southern District of new york while he was investigating trumps inner circle. Trying to have the doj represent the president in a lawsuit brought by e. Jean carol who alleged the president rapd her in the 90s. So the president could pose for a photo op by the white house, and spending 30 grand for a Holiday Party at trumps d. C. Hotel. Repeatedly spreading disinformation about mailin voting, suggesting communities that dont respect police will lose police protection. As if thats not enough, barr is compelled to shower the president with praise. He is very easy to work with. Has a good sense of humor, very district. The president went out at the beginning of this and politization of decisions like hydroxychloroquine is amazing to me. The president attacked barr in recent weeks for not prosecuting his political enemies. Unless bill barr indicts these people for crimes, greatest political crime in the history of our country, bill barr will go down as the greatest attorney general in the history of the country or go down as a very sad situation. In the senate, republican Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell is refusing to recognize the winner of this race. President trump is 100 within his rights to look into allegations of irregularities and weigh his Legal Options. It is not only weird mcconnell is fueling the baseless claims about fraud in the election, the republican senators who are still silent about bidens win, theyre enablers too. We will leave it up a second. If a gop is not named romney, sass, murkowski or collins, theyre on this list. Sound of silence more abundant than the song that they wrote about silent masses that didnt use their voices, quote, and the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made, end quote, that they make. These senators who are not powerless, theyre just afraid of consequences of using their power which is where courage comes in. So far, they lack courage to serve their country over their party. The president s children are supporting their fathers flailing attempt to upend a legal election outcome. Melania trump and Jared Kushner have advised trump to consider accepting the election loss. Kushner it appears has also moved onto advice the president may take, suggesting he hold rallies, pushing for a recount, as has Rudy Giuliani and jason miller. I compared that trio yesterday to the ones that take a heartbroken friend, cant understand that majority of merge isnt that into him out to a bar after a bad breakup. The longer this drags on, more theyre like a band of holligans driving to the exs house blasting peter gabriel. This time it wont work out nor lloyd dobbler. Trump cant just say anything, he has to say the truth. His biggest enabler is of course fox. We dont know how many votes were stolen, about the software that was rigged. They want you to believe that to say vote process is above board. Do you believe that . They want you to ignore irregularities, lack of transparency, the serious instances where the law was broken. Bidens Campaign Says theyre defending the election. They deny what theyre really doing which is stealing it. But even on fox the jig is up, man. Neil cavuto couldnt keep up with the charade. Well, we have to be clear, shes charging, the other side is welcoming fraud and illegal voting, unless she has more details to back that up, i cant in good couldnt nance continue to show this. Later his colleague took a shot for that. In a democracy you cant ignore honest questions from citizens, you cant dismiss them out of hand as crazy or immoral for asking. Cant cut away from coverage you dont like. You can cut away from speech that is dangerous lies. In fact, you should. In a democracy, you cant just ignore votes from citizens in the name of entertaining socalled honest questions as he put it that are based on conspiracy theories about voter fraud. The mixed messages from fox underscore how trumps hold on the network is slipping away, at least for some there, just like his days in the white house. For fox prime time, perhaps not a surprise. Theyre soar losers. In 2016, they were soar winners as they aligned themselves with trump accolades. Hillary clinton is still refusing to accept the real reason she lost to president elect donald trump, instead of acknowledging she was a terribly flawed, corrupt candidate with a long track record of failure and larger majority of American Voters didnt like, Hillary Clinton is blaming everything but herself for her election loss. They have to decide whether theyre going to interfere with him finishing his business, interfere with peaceful transition, transfer of power to president elect trump and Vice President elect pence or if theyre going to be a bunch of cry babies and soar losers about an election they cant turn around. Youre advancing a false Conspiracy Theory why you lost, you cant accept responsibility. The soar loser left, acting like spoiled brats, didnt get what they wanted for christmas, now theyre going to ruin the holiday for everyone else. It is a soar loser, barack obama trying to delegit mice election of President Trump. This wasnt even close. Collins right there by the way was sentenced to prison for insider trading. Even Vladimir Putin who is still silent on bidens win had something to say about sore losers. The democrats lost and are looking for someone guilty of this. I think this is simply humiliating for themselves. One has to know how to lose decently. Even President Trump has made that clear as he addressed this topic during a thanksgiving turkey pardoning at the white house where a turkey names carrots refused to concede to the winner. The winner of this vote was decided by a fair and open election conducted on the white house website. This was a fair election. Unfortunately, carrots refused to concede and demanded a recount, and were still fighting with carrots. And i will tell you, we have come to a conclusion. Carrots, the result did not change. Too bad for carrots. But whos the turkey now. Now lets talk with an expert about the director of the dojs Election Crimes Branch resigning instead of carrying out bill barrs orders preventing that before the votes are certified. Harry, he wrote in an email to colleagues that barr is issuing, quote, an important new policy abrogating the 40yearold noninterference policy for ballot fraud investigations in the period prior to elections becoming certified and uncontested. For people that are not familiar with ins and outs of Election Security law, explain why barrs move is so significant. Sure. You know, i have been trying to stay cool the last 24 hours because theres no great risk here, but you have me worked up again. That was quite a tour deforce of whats owed yus. He is a 20 year veteran, resigns because barr completely changed written policy. Were in a very delicate period that federal law recognizes between the election and certification, and it is express written doj policy, you keep your mitts off, you dont want to undermine. What they can do is suggest theres investigation and have people worried, have people afraid that maybe theyll impound the ballots, nothing they can really do. For him to change it, a, was a subrogation of important doj policies. It speaks volumes when a guy like Richard Hilger steps down. They could say well, it is just his day in court, but it is so much more than that, as you spelled out. It is demoralizing for the election. It keeps transition from going forward. It energizes the base as they want it to do. Makes trump able to raise money for the Georgia Election and to retire his own Campaign Debt and it just makes us look like an insecure possible banana republic. Bottom line is they cant do anything here, but it is an outrageous dereliction with one more tangible sign that the long time professional prosecutor is just resigning. Yeah. As you mention, the president is not conceding. His administration is blocking transition funds to bidens team. Now you have this move by barr. What Legal Options does biden have to force his Transition Team to get maybe not just funds it needs but really the access, that may be whats key when it comes to nurational security wh it comes to Sensitive Information and the ability to discuss it and plan. Completely. First, it is both. On the National Security level, i want to mention the 9 11 Commission Said one of the reasons bush hadnt revved up his National Security apparatus soon enough was because of the bush v gore election. There are real costs here in National Security. Not just that, as you say, the actual ability to be able to go forward with just standard planning, background, investigations of new appointees. This is not a benign move. When mcconnell says oh, it is nothing unusual, it is completely unusual because, and the bottom line shouldnt be forgotten here, theres not a shred, not a shred of evidence of these completely hysterical claims of widespread fraud or irregularities. Theres a couple votes here, that could never change the election. No court will do anything with this, doj wont do anything with this, but it really harms the ability for biden and the country to move forward. And i mean, when you couple that, this sort of inability to rev up the National Security apparatus, plus you have the president firing the defense secretary, there was a pentagon official that resigned a day after that. Are you worried . Sounds like youre saying there are National Security vulnerabilities that are caused. Could this turn into a crisis . Yeah, so any National Security expert will tell you that, it is well known during a transition, even a normal, lawful transition is a time that adversaries may try to exploit us in ways we dont even know. Thats part of what was going on with mike flynn. So it is a worry. Now that were in this enhanced instability because of what barr has done, because of what the republican senators have done, yes, it aggravates the possibility and presents a real risk of crisis, and thats in addition, again, to the entire sort of work a day necessity of a government being able to get ready and move on day one. We cant have any gaps in the executive branch. If they cant get in there until a few weeks before, it is really calamitous. They need to get in there. Harry, thank you so much for your expertise. Appreciate it. The Coronavirus Crisis is worsening at an alarming rate. Hospitalizations are surging. A Biden Coronavirus Task force expert says the u. S. Is entering covid hell.

Reported seven Straight Days f more than 100,000 new daily cases, crossing 10 million total cases. The spread is skyrocketing. According to a biden task force member, that number could double. It could double to 200,000 in a matter of weeks. What america has to understand, we are about to enter covid hell. It is happening. And the numbers here back that statement up. The nation reported the largest single day increase in hospitalizations since july 10th. Texas is in a particularly bad spot now, nearing 1 million cases, one of the hardesthit cities there, el paso, forced to airlift dozens of icu patients to other cities and new mexico. Theyre out of icu capacity. The spike of cases and hospitalizations could mean more deaths, even as el paso has requested another four mobile morgues. In idaho, the surge so overwhelming, some hospitals also have had to turn patients away. The state saw the highest number of new hospitalizations monday after recording record new high cases, high new cases over the weekend. I want to talk now with dr. Joshua kern from idaho, Vice President of medical affairs for st. Lukes magic valley jerome and wood river medical centers. Doctor, thank you so much. It is so important we talk to folks like you that are on the ground and know whats going on. Tell us what youre seeing now in your hospitals. Yeah, thanks, brianna. Were certainly seeing these increased numbers in the last couple of weeks. We have gotten to the point where we havent turned patients away, but then required to transfer them to one of our sister hospitals in boise where they still have some capacity. But were facing these issues that you were just talking about. So how do you handle that when you have to divert certain people to other hospitals, how do you make a choice about that. Do you transfer folks you already have, are you moving people with milder symptoms . What are you doing . Yeah, what we do is basically when we get to the point the hospital is full, based on staffing capacity that we have available, well say no to additional patients. That will be patients in our own er that have to transfer to boise via ambulance or helicopter or fixed wing plane and say no to surrounding hospitals which normally we have good partnerships with, because we just cant fit any more patients in. So you are tracking these case numbers because you know what follows behind them with hospitalizations and severe cases. Knowing that we are expecting these numbers to go even farther up from where they are, what do you do then . Does anything change about how you handle patients coming in when you were completely overwhelmed and you have twice as much demand . We have already been making decisions about not taking pediatric admissions and closing the pediatric floor to save on bed space and staffing. Were saying no to elective procedures that require overnight stay. As long as the surrounding hospitals, chiefly in boise, have capacity, we dont have to start pulling over levers but as they get full, seeing increasing cases in counties where bigger hospitals are, then we have to start making even more decisions. So when you are saying elective surgeries that you have to put off, are you talking hip replacements . What kinds of things are you talking about . I know we have a big backlog in hysterectomies, joint replacements like you mention, knee replacements, hip replacements, anything that, you know, can be put off. And again, is it optimal, somebody needs a Spine Surgery or hysterectomy, it is borderline whether it is truly elective, but were so crunched for staff, we have to make those decisions. Doctor, we wish you the best. We know you have a lot on your plate, more headed your way, what youre dealing with is representative of inland west and midwest as well. Thanks for joining us. Appreciate it. Thank you, brianna. There are more results that show the race between the president and joe biden. It wasnt that close after all. Plus, well show you how republicans keep losing the popular vote in modern elections.

As President Trump and his circle make baseless claims about voter fraud, we are still awaiting the final vote tally from some battleground states like georgia and arizona. I want to bring in David Chalian to talk about this. There you are, still at the wall, david. Give us a closer look. When will it stop. Give us a closer look at the numbers. Take a look, brianna. There are four states we havent projected winners in, state Elections Officials havent reported out a winner. North carolina, georgia, arizona, and alaska. When you fill in the leads which can as lead, you see donald trump is leading into them, joe biden is leading in two. 12,293 votes. 49. 5 to 49. 3 . That. 2 difference is within the. 5 limit for a candidate to request a recount. Trump campaign clearly indicated they will, once the state certifies the vote totals there. Seems to be a recount coming in georgia. Joe biden continues to build his lead as the final votes keep coming in and getting counted. A different story in arizona, brianna. Take a look. Joe bidens lead is still there, but now down to 14,746. It is donald trump who has been making up ground in this state as the vote keeps coming in and being counted. You see 98 of the vote reporting. State officials think theres still some 60 to 65,000 ballots left to be counted in arizona. Joe biden, his campaign is confident theyre going to hang onto the lead. You see 14,746, that lead is smaller than it was last week as the election returns were coming in, brianna. And you know, david, when we focus on some of these states and see how things are close in some states, it leads a lot of folks to say that was such a close election. But actually, were seeing record breaking numbers in the election overall, in the popular vote and turnout. No doubt about that. Again, in the Electoral College as well, take a look. It was, sorry, wrong button to push. If indeed joe biden wins arizona and georgia as he is leading, he will be up to 306 electoral votes. Thats what donald trump had four years ago. Youre right to note National Popular vote. Look at this. Joe biden has 76 million voters, donald trump 71. 5 million. Joe biden now has a lead of 4. 6 million votes ahead of donald trump nationally. We dont elect our president s on National Popular vote, but look at four years ago at the numbers. Joe biden is 10 million more votes than Hillary Clinton. Donald trump has more than 8 million more than he got four years ago. It was a totally engaged electorate. Turnout was high on both sides. But joe bidens lead over donald trump nationally is more substantial than Hillary Clinton had four years ago in National Popular vote and votes are still coming in. Still have a ways to go, especially in california and new york, brianna. Well be watching. Who knows when well stop coming to you at the wall, David Chalian. Thank you so much. What happens if the president continues to refuse a peaceful transition of power . Were going to talk about real life National Security impact. Plus, secretary of state mike pompeo who is in charge of representing the u. S. To the world just said out loud there will be a smooth transition to a second Trump Administration.

The outgoing Trump Administration refusal to begin the transition with the Biden Campaign is already having impact. From lack of intel briefings, to a top Government Official doubling down on a refusal to cooperate. Our correspondents are covering all the angles. Alex marquardt in washington. One of the critical parts of any transition being held up is the full, highly classified Intelligence Briefings that president elects are supposed to receive, known as the president s daily brief. So far that is not happening for president elect joe biden. The office of director of National Intelligence which coordinates briefings says they wont be engaging with the biden team until the race is officially ascertained. But it is up to President Donald Trump to decide whether president elect biden receives these critical National Security briefings, so far that is not happening. They are essential to National Security, so the Incoming Administration is up to speed on the issues and ready to go on day one. I am carly atwood at the state department. As he contests the victory of president elect joe biden, american diplomats dont know what to tell foreign counterparts about election results. They dont know if they can call joe biden the president elect because the state department has given them no guidance how to discuss the election results. Now, that is not normal. Traditionally, the secretary of state sends a congratulatory message to the president elect, launches the transition period at the state department formally with a state Department Wide memo. The diplomats at state are also fearful how this could impact their work going forward. President trump challenging the election, based on no evidence is exactly what they have warned foreign leaders against. Now theyre fearful how seriously theyll be taken. Kristin holmes in washington, d. C. We are days after the election. Head of the General Services administration, a trump political appointee, has yet to ascertain that joe biden won the election. Now, this is a critical step. It allows the biden team to formally begin their transition, also gives them access to Government Funds for that transition. Now, according to the agency, they say the administrator will continue to abide by the law, and they cite the clinton, bush transition in 2000 as reference, as a precedent for why they have not yet signed. Now, the biden team has not formally ruled out legal action should this continue much longer. Thank you so much to all of our correspondents. Soon, were going to hear from president elect joe biden who is expected to make remarks on obamacare as the Supreme Court hears arguments on the future of the aca. Well bring those to you live. And denial of his election loss, fox is the engine. Were going to talk about that. [narrator] ordering chipotle for the family . Voila, rewarded with guacamole and a side of quiet. Grubhub gives you rewards for rewarding yourself, with food. doorbell rings grubhub you can count on one hand how many republicans acknowledged joe biden is president elect. Senators lisa murkowski, Susan Collins of maine, ben sasse of nebraska. The rest are silent emboldening the president as he refuses to concede. But why . Oliver darcy here to shed like on this subject. Tell us really what is in the calculus of jop senatogop senat . If you watch rightwing, you would think the election was stolen. Watch fox news, the message, talk radio, the message. Read farright websites the president is promoting that is the message. This matters, because republican politicians they know that the real power players in their Republican Party are sean hannity, tucker carlson, laura ingraham, Rush Limbaugh. The people who control the Republican Party. Them coming out telling audiences this election was probably stolen, trump should maybe be president elect again, that desensitizes republican politicians who need to come out and tell the president what youre pushing is not true and disinformation. It descentizes hes people from coming out against the president. If they do that theyll end up on the radio show of Rush Limbaugh or fox news being attacked. People like ted cruz, go on fox news and continue to feed the narrative, play into the president s games. Thats why ive been saying for some time now Rupert Murdoch really has a keep role to play. Owner of fox news. He could come out and tell his hosts like hannity, knock it off, hannity. If you want to give your opinions on the election, fine. Play with the facts. Be grounded in reality. Instead, seems thats not happening, because folks like hannity and tucker carlson, and theyre continuing to feed a dishonest narrative showing no indication of stopping. You mentioned the primetime posts, but were actually seeing, we saw Something Interesting yesterday. Something maybe out of character, if you were to look at fox, at large, oliver. Actually cut away from a White House Press conference led by kailee yleigh mcenany saying li and foxs commentator criticized the move. Is there a growing divide there . I wouldnt read too much in the network cutting away. Actually, its not really the network that cut away. Neil cavuto, a little more outspoken about the president s lies, probably made that unilateral decision he was going to cut away. What he cut away from, cant air this in good conscious. The primetime lineup, sean hannity, tucker charlese carlso the same arguments kailee mcnannie was making. A twosecond moment 24 hours of broadcasting that the election was possibly stolen by corrupt democrats who are just power hungry and want biden out of out of at all costs. Appreciate you digs into that for us. Next, well hear secretary of state mike pompeos dangerous comments about the election as he pushes baseless fraud claims as americas top diplomat.

Who is tasked with selling democracy to other nations. Telling them why they should run free and fair elections. Take a listen to this exchange. Is the state department currently preparing to engage with the biden Transition Team and if not at what point does a delay hamper a smooth transition or pose a risk to National Security . There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump Administration. All right. Were ready. The world is watching whats taking place here. Were going to count all the votes. When the process is complete, a lector selected. Theres a process. Constitution lays it out pretty clearly. The world should have every confidence that the transition knows make sure that the state department is functional today, successful today and successful with a president whos in office on january 20th a minute after noon will also be successful. Do you believe tliz widespread voter fraud from reports getting from pennsylvania, from michigan showing vote totals in massive, or sig scent leads with 99 reporting will be overturned and that the United States
