Has asked for a new hand recount, the secretary of state is here with why that is unnecessary and the fight that ensued in the peach state. I am neil cavuto and happy weekend to you. Hope things are going well as you prepare for turkey day and whether you will have it with relatives at home. Be careful who knocks on your door. We will get into all of that and what is happening with the mounting cases from governors across the country to keep it limited. The protests are growing as are the cases. Lets take a look out west beginning with california. It is a mandatory stayathome order for overnight hours and last night was the first night for a curfew in los angeles county, people dining out in studio city, major money on outdoor setup, and a stayathome order could come as early as tomorrow. You have to shut me down from 10 00 until 5 00, doesnt make any sense. Not very happy, for the covid19 briefing. The state hit more than 13,000 new cases, thousands of cars lining up in a Testing Center taking 45 minutes just to get to the entrance to arizona that had 4000 new cases two days in a row. Hospitals across the state stopping business with a few exceptions like labor and end of life. In colorado, the state says modeling shows one in 49 people are contagious. Drones drop by your neighbors house for drink after work, no dinner parties. One of the venues of this spread. Reporter people are being urged to spend thanksgiving to limit their daily interactions. And treat everyone you encounter like they have kim jong un covid19. The rules change. Depending how the dinner is going. In new york, not just there, theyve done away with in person classes in the new york metropolitan area. New York City Public School parent and in a dilemma, what do you do . I am not worried about my kids. I work from home and get support and im worried about our most Vulnerable Children because it is not working and so many kids dont have devices, highspeed internet, we have to do that. Neil what has the mayor said about how long this would last, this virtual learning, announced day of and all of a sudden if you could. How long will this last . He has not announced an opening plan. And 3 . It is 10 . It is a reopening. Part of the issue is others. 6 million mothers in the labor market because they are at home facilitating. It is going on for a while for americans safety nets. We have to figure out how to keep schools open. Neil this notion that the schools, there is a link but there isnt. They have nothing to do with what happened in schools, a lot of it has to do with spikes in neighborhoods and individual homes which surprised me. If true would indicate this is an elaborate waste of time. What are you thinking . Reporter there is a moment to shut things down and people have to wear masks. I dont think you should be doing that during thanksgiving. I also think schools are not transmitters. In new york city shut the bars, shut indoor dining. But schools are places we have to keep open because we cant lose an entire generation because of a pandemic, we couldnt find a way to keep schools open. Neil i wish well dealing with this. This is a problem for a lot of moms and dads and working couples trying to deal with something thrust on them with little notice. Hope you had a happy and healthy thanksgiving. I do want to get a read on the significance of this with doctor debbie. All of this occurs on talk of promising vaccines coming down the pike including the one from pfizer, granting emergency approval, looks like that will happen. How soon would it be in both hands . The fda is supposed to review it around december 10th and as soon as things are promising, they will be shipped out immediately and some people will get them, First Responders, healthcare providers, vulnerable folks but the general population, not until april or spring when most people get the vaccine. We have things to be thankful for, but all of this with the lockdown it really erodes the spirit of thanksgiving and togetherness we would hope for. Neil a lot of orders or whatever you call it from various governors under constituents and restaurants, postpone it if you can, better safe than sorry, limited to ten people are fewer. What do you think of that . The cdc is saying something similar. A blanket rule that might make sense, my patients ask me, to go into a little more detail. I talk about the risk of having the virus, someone had coronavirus in new york, if they had it in the spring, test negative now and have antibodies they are spreading it, very low. Children very low. I talk to people about their risk if they catch the virus. Of someone has multiple medical conditions over the age of 70 they should stay away from others because their risk of death or serious complication is high so separate people in terms of risk and others if they are going to meet with each other and in a gathering larger than ten i tell people where your mask if you can, drinking something, bring your own utensils and try to do things you minimize your risk of spreading the virus, and if you travel somewhere and develop symptoms have a plan for how to get home because you dont want to get on a plane or train or car with other people and expose other people so to try to have different plans for all the different scenarios to minimize the risk. Neil what are you doing for thanksgiving . We are staying in getting deliveries and getting that afterwards so that is the safest approach, there are other things to prepare for, suicidal ideation. In terms of calling the police, the people encouraged to tell on their neighbor and disrupt the feeling of community. Keep the lines open for people, call 9 one one for them, let police and First Responders help you versus tattling on your neighbor and i am not even convinced if i were the police and i had been vilified which i had been for some degree most of this year i would not want to come in and interrupt peoples thanksgiving. On top of that i dont know if it is safe to go from one household to another because if you are exposed to something in one household do you want to keep going to other families throughout the day and spread the virus that way . Julie i admire this much about you, you are getting food delivered to you. There is something very hard humanizing. Have a safe holiday. In the meantime, what has been going on in battleground states, the president meeting with a couple top officials in charge of accounts going on their. Dont know if he got the answer he wanted. Mark meredith has more. The president and staff made clear they are not breaking down the president s campaign in that, casting doubt on Election Results, but all along he sees himself as winner including a tweet an hour ago the president writing this quote, big voter fraud coming out in georgia concerning georgia stay tuned, latest tweets over the election come after he met with Michigan State lawmakers at the white house friday, michigan is set to certify its results on monday. Biden won the state by 154,000 votes but the meeting is raising eyebrows because some are wondering if the president is trying to convince lawmakers not to certify. Among those in attendance were the Senate Majority leader and state House Speaker who put out a statement saying they were focused on the coronavirus response, we have not been made aware of any information that would change the outcome of the election in michigan and legislative leaders, we will follow the law and the normal process regarding Michigan Avenue selectors just as we said throughout this election. We see the president s staff on tv saying this election is not over. Donald trump had a chance to meet virtually with World Leaders for the g 20 summit something normally done in person but because of the pandemic it was done online. The president just left the white house, hes on his way to a virginia golf club. If anything changes on the schedule we will let you know. Happy thanksgiving. Neil to you as well. Mark meredith at the white house. Keeping track of accounts going on in different states. In New Hampshire, a senator who barely lost her race, by little more than 1000 votes. What she learned from that, what the president and others can learn from this. Talking taxsmt investing, managing risk, and all the ways schwab can help me invest. This is andy reminding me how i can keep my investing costs low and that theres no fee to work with him. Heres me learning about schwabs satisfaction guarantee. Accountability, i like it. So, yeah. Andy and i made a good plan. Find your own andy at schwab. A modern approach to wealth management. It turns out i have tardive dyskinesia, a condition that may be related to important medications i take for my bipolar disorder. Tardive dyskinesia can affect different parts of the body. It may also affect people who take medication for depression and schizophrenia. [narrator] in todays trying times, were here to help you manage td. Visit talkabouttd. Com for a doctor discussion guide to prep for your next appointment in person, over the phone, or online. Its a relief to know there are treatments for td. Carley neil heres how important the georgia counties going on or just, two senate spots, all the spending that has gone into it, 120 million. It has attracted the biggest names among republicans. When you look at governor sean parnell of alaska, sean tyler of arizona, rob portman of ohio, this young lady, former senator of New Hampshire, interesting to note she lost one of the closest senatorial elections in american history, a little over 1000 votes. Good to have you here. It was 2017 but who is counting. Much less neil how was it resolved, you want to the count to go through. It was resolved, you are very diplomatic about it, very magnanimous, had to be a heartbreaker. It was. What i took from it thinking about these georgia races everyone has to get out, every republican voter get out because your vote really does matter and the other thing is the tsunami of money from the far left especially those outside, dark money coming into georgia and that is why i am involved in this effort also. Neil how was it when you had i will get to georgia, sorry to get sidetracked but i remember that race so well, when you finally congratulated maggie, how did that go, how did the process go . Never easy losing a race. So much at stake. We had a republican president and Republican Senate when i lost but i called senator hassan and wished her well and for me i wanted to make sure i could get behind other people that were running and that is what i do this cycle because i am so concerned about the country and what democrats would do if they took control of the senate so that is why i think this georgia race is so critical. Neil you were very gracious, looked at that, a great deal of concern that outofstate voting, we will never know for sure. The president is right to go ahead and count every state that he cited. There is concern about whatever he will do, what he said he will. The president has every right to embrace legal challenges, that is how the system is set up and how it should go. There are three branches of government and the president will make his own decision and go forward and things will work out but i really believe what we need to focus on is the senate race in georgia. Heather two of them. Democrats have to take both seats to take control of the senate but in the midst of this, theres a republican squabble between the governor, republican and secretary of state and the guy in charge of counting and ratifying the ballots. The Lieutenant Governor in between. Is that complicating things for the senate race, could backfire on republicans . I would like to see republicans unified. I dont think your average voter focuses on that and that is what we need to do. Senators leffler and perdue, what im involved with, karl rove, the georgia battleground, the ground games, getting average voter is out, letting people know what is at stake for this nation because Chuck Schumer said it will. Now we take georgia, we change the nation. We love our nation, our constitution and dont want tax increases, Court Packing and the things we know the Senate Democrats will do if they take charge. I would like to see them unified. What matters is the grassroots who will win the race for the country. This is about the whole country. That is why i am chairing New Hampshire, people in New Hampshire i talk to, they dont get the far left to take over if we dont have whatever happens at the top of the president ial race 50 50 in the senate. Neil your state of New Hampshire, very good seeing you again. Have a safe thanksgiving. Thanks, happy thanksgiving and can i say to your viewers please gabattleground. Com, we need your support. Todd 1 very good, thank you very much. There has been a push against stimulus going, not talking about i administration but a lameduck session a few weeks away. It was in this small Little Village in connemara. Right connemara it is theres one gift the whole family can share this holiday season, their story. Give the gift of discovery, with an ancestrydna kit. Neil the markets follow the issue, is there going to be stimulus and that is what people are seizing on, Chuck Schumer and Mitch Mcconnell discussed the possibility of getting something out even on a lameduck session, a Good Opportunity to bring this up with the democratic senator from maryland. Thanks for doing the time. Good to be with you and happy thanksgiving to you. Neil i know it seems a great long tease in the market, hopes were raised a little bit on talk that that is all it was, talk, it couldnt be coupled together in a lameduck session. How likely would that be . It is desperate right now. Small businesses will not survive until next year unless we get additional help. Unemployment benefits will end at the end of this year, it is desperate with Unemployment Rate still very high. State and local governments are laying off workers, we are in the midst of this pandemic. It is escalating, here is the good news. There has been lots of conversations among democrats and republicans coming together, a bipartisan bill, lets make sure it is significant enough to get through spring of next year. I can tell you what is the highest priority to get a covid19 package done during the lameduck session. Neil Bernie Sanders has all but advertised the job of labor secretary. No indication joe biden would be interested. What do you think about it . We have a deep bench of people qualified to serve in the biden cabinet. There is confidence but joe bidens cabinet would reflect the priorities he campaigned on in the president ial campaign, i will let him make his judgment to see if we have a balanced cabinet, but im confident that he will consider that, those nominees. Todd 1 very diplomatic answer. The progressives in your party, the ones they argued got joe biden elected, that he owes of them. Do you think he owes this part of your party seats in a cabinet and even more . What joe biden needs in his cabinet is to carry out his commitment to represent allamerica, that he will make sure his supporters and those who did not vote for him are represented by policies of a Biden Administration. He needs to govern for this nation and yet in doing that he will appeal to the broad categories of support he got in georgias campaign, 80 million votes, a broad sector of america, exactly one particular group, he is going to represent this country. Neil one of the ideas the president elect is bandied about is Student Loan Debt forgiveness, he paid the it at around 10, 000, saying it is 50, 000. Where are you on this . How likely is it after immediate course of action on the part of the president elect . Before covid19 this was an important issue. We had a deal with the second largest amount of debt thanks to credit cards, entirely too expensive to attend college today, they have large amount of student debt, we need to provide relief before covid19. Now because of covid19, so many people out there, we have to figure out a way to ease the burden on americans, we have to deal with the realities but also have a Program Moving Forward to make College Education more affordable. You should be able to send your child to College Without going into debt and we need a program that accomplishes that. To deal with the outstanding debt for the cost of college moving forward. It is an urgent issue that will literally part of the Biden Administration. Neil we will see what happens, very nice of you to come in on a saturday. When we come back, people tell you how many you should have in your house and thanksgiving. I want you to meet the elected official who isnt telling the governors line and is ready to challenge that.
