How do we get through the next six months until that vaccine shows up in . Ali, before we go, i have a new word for you, a word that i learned today. Its called the word is mo mobesuasion. Its a president ial campaign word that the Biden Campaign was using. And whats fascinating about it is David Plouffe did not know that word until today when Jen Omalley Dillon, the Biden Campaign manager, explained it to them in theropod cast discussion which is absolutely fascinating to listen to. David plouffe is going to join us later to talk about that. I will stay tuned for it, my friend. Thank you, have yourself a great evening and a great show. Thank you, ali. Great weekend. Thank you. Well, after calling arizona for joe biden last night at 11 15 p. M. Today, at 2 13 p. M. Eastern time, nbc news projected president elect joe biden as the winner of georgias 16 electoral votes. And donald trump the winner of north carolinas 15 electoral votes. That brings the final total of electoral votes for joe biden to 306, exactly the same number of electoral votes donald trump four years ago. Joe biden is now running more than 5 million votes ahead of donald trump in the total count. The Trump Legal Team withdrew a lawsuit in arizona today and lost lawsuits in pennsylvania and michigan. Some law firms engaged by the Trump Campaign to challenge the election are dropping out of those hopeless and frivolous lawsuits. And there was a mutiny of sorts against attorney general william barr today by a group of assistant u. S. Attorneys who are now treating the head of their department william barr like a man whos days are numbered, which they are. 68 days. William barr has 68 days left running the Justice Department. And now assistant u. S. Attorneys are making sure william barr knows what they think of him on his way out the door. Assistant u. S. Attorneys almost never have direct communication with the attorney general. Assistant u. S. Attorneys do all the work for the u. S. Attorneys in their federal district, and only the u. S. Attorney communicates with the attorney general. But william barr got a letter today from 16 assistant u. S. Attorneys who were assigned to monitor any irregulars in the election. The letter tells the attorney general that there is no evidence anywhere of any kind of Election Fraud anywhere in the country. And in the letter, the assistant u. S. Attorneys criticized the attorney general for a memo that he issued on monday changing Justice Department policy for investigating possible election crimes. The assistant u. S. Attorneys letter, which was seen by the Washington Post says that William Barrs memo, quote, thrusts career prosecutors into partisan politics. So the memo by william barr sent to all federal prosecutors on monday is now being thrown back at him by the very prosecutors who william barr was encouraging to investigate the election. There was an awful lot of worried reporting about that memo on monday. A lot of observers took it as a corrupt attorney generals first move in an ominous attempt to interfere with the outcome of the election. I for one tried to take down the temperature a bit on that story, and i ventured the opinion here that that william barr memo was definitely improper, but it would amount to absolutely nothing. I know more than a few assistant u. S. Attorneys, the federal prosecutors who actually do the real work, and i didnt think william barr was going to be able to enlist any of them in some kind of trumpian scheme. I expected to never hear about the william barr memo again. In fact, i absolutely did not expect, did not expect 16 assistant u. S. Attorneys all over the country from new york to california to publicly rise up and sign their names to a letter that they knew would bring even more public disagrees to this attorney general. It is the most profound act of public disrespect verging on insubordination that i have ever seen assistant u. S. Attorneys. Their direct bosses, the u. S. Attorneys, are the ones who do the press conferences after the convictions. The assistant u. S. Attorneys are the ones who do the trials and get the convictions. They are the real working prosecutors. And william barr did not dare, did not dare say anything in response to their uprising against him today. Maybe thats because william barr knows that when he leaves office, assistant u. S. Attorneys might be assigned to investigate him, to investigate any legal lines william barr might have crossed in his service as attorney general to the most corrupt president in history. Those assistant u. S. Attorneys have more power now than william barr does, and thats because those assistant u. S. Attorneys are still going to be on the job on the afternoon of january 20th when william barr and donald trump become private citizens. Its all over. Its all over for william barr. Its all over for donald trump. And they both know it. There was something biblical about today, a sevenday cycle. A sevenday cycle of human life is suggested in the Old Testament where god created the world in six days, and on the seventh day he rested. In the last seven days of our lives, the president of the United States was silent for six days, and on the seventh day, he spoke. Donald trump went to the rose garden to once again declare victory over the coronavirus thanks to the emergence of a vaccine that will actually be distributed by president elect joe biden and Vice President elect harris when they take office on january 20th. In the meantime, tens of thousands of people will die and donald trump will refuse to acknowledge any of those deaths, and hundreds of thousands of people will be infected with the coronavirus, possibly left with permanent damage to their health, and donald trump will refuse to acknowledge any of that suffering. Today donald trump read laboriously from a written text and did not dare take any questions. After his six days of silence had amounted to an unmistakable admission of joe bidens decisive victory in the president ial election, donald trump said this ideally, we wont go to a lockdown. I will not go. This administration will not be going to a lockdown. Hopefully, the whatever happens in the future, who knows which administration it will be. I guess time will tell. But i can tell you this administration will not go to a lockdown. Thats it. Thats the concession speech. He acknowledges right there there might be another president ial administration on january 20th. He doesnt claim that he will be the president on january 20th. Time will tell. Maybe time will tell the tiny number of people out there who might still believe Donald Trumps fundraising emails saying that all he needs to hold on to the presidency is money from them to pay lawyers who are now losing cases in court or dropping out of those cases. No matter how much you pay them. If you watched and listened to donald trump in the rose garden today, you should now know beyond a shad dove a doubt that donald trump knows that its all over. The New York Times reports Porter Wright morrison arthur, the law firm leading the Trump Campaigns efforts to challenge the Election Results in pennsylvania abruptly withdrew from a federal lawsuit that it had filed on behalf of the campaign that followed a similar move by an Arizona Law Firm that was representing the Republican Party as it challenged the states results. And on friday, a top layer at jones day, which has represented mr. Trumps campaigning for more than four years, told colleagues during a videoconference call that jones day would not get involved in additional litigation in this election. An over five million vote lead for president elect joe biden. 306 electoral votes for joe biden. 232 for donald trump. God might have rested on the seventh day, but we cant because joe bidens win in georgia makes it more possible for two democrats to win two runoff elections for the United States senate in georgia that will be decided on january 5th. Joining us in a moment from atlanta will be Latosha Brown of the black voters matter fund. But first, we begin tonight with arizona secretary of state katie hobbs. Thank you very much for joining us tonight. I hope this finally becomes the restful weekend that you deserve. You have earned your rest. This election has really run longer than the system is designed to bear. What did you see in the final tallies as arizona was closing this down that made it clear to you where this was going . Well, all along folks had said that the president s the margin that he needed to close the gap between him and president elect biden was increasing, and even though he made small gains every vote, he wasnt going to meet those margins. So yesterday when our votes left to tabulate fell below the gap between him and joe biden, thats when it became clear that he couldnt make up the difference. So here we are today with our electoral votes going to president elect biden. Talk about what this means historically in arizona for democrats. Democrats now holding two senate seat theres and now winning the presidency in arizona. Yeah. This will be the First Time Since 1952, except once that our electoral votes have gone to the democratic nominee for president. The last time was 1996 with bill clinton. So thats a really big deal for democrats here as certainly having two democratic u. S. Senators. I think down the ballot, i dont think the democrats made the gains that they had hoped to. So there is certainly still work for them to do. Secretary hobbs, what about Lessons Learned for arizona and for conducting the vote the way it was conducted this year . Well, i can tell you from my perspective as the chief election officer for the state, this is my first election in this office, and i came here knowing that we needed to work really hard to build partnership across the state with the Election Officials, and we did that. We invested a lot of time and resources last year doing that to be prepared for this election, which at the time we had no idea would be conducted with the additional challenges of the pandemic. And i think that we certainly rose to that challenge. I would say that for my office as well as the election offices and the counties across the state because we really worked together to ensure that we were that we were conducting the election where voters were not going to have to choose between their health and safety and their right to vote. And the unprecedented turnout that weve seen not just in this november election, but in our states primary and president ial election really show that we did do that. Arizona secretary of state katie hobbs, thank you for your service to the voters of arizona in this election, and thank you very much for joining us once again tonight. We appreciate it. Thank you so much for having me. Thank you. Joining us now from atlanta is Latosha Brown, cofounder of black lives matter fund. Latosha, you did it. Youve been telling people for a long time that georgia was in play, and i have to tell you, no one sitting where i sit believed it until we started to see the polls telling us that georgia was in play. And here we have it. Here we have the victory for a democratic president ial candidate. Absolutely. You know, i think that what brought it was that the people who make this state great, those are the people that showed up. When you look at the increase in the African American vote, more people voted for joe biden, president elect biden than voted for obama in the 2008, more African Americans. When you look at the community, it was a 56 increase. There were 30,000 new Asian American voters who voted for the first time. When you look at the increase in the latinx, the right independent vote, what you saw is a new coalition, what i call a new south is rising that came together and we beat back fascism. We knew that the danger to democracy. We saw a joint interest, and we showed up and showed out. I want you to listen to what Jen Omalley Dillon said in David Plouffes podcast today. She is the Biden Campaign manager. And she like many of us was a georgia skeptic. Thats where she began. Lets listen to this. Have i always been a bit of a georgia skeptic, in part because i think its a really tough state. And we saw it as a real path. We had it on our expansion path, but we saw a positive movement. We saw real opportunity on the early vote. We saw heavy inperson, we saw turnout really getting beyond even what we had expected, which is pretty high turnout across the country as well. And we saw real opportunity for growth even as we closed it out. And latosha, with that, Jen Omalley Dillon made the decision to send the troops into georgia and really fight it up. Absolutely. Even when you look at the young vote, young voters across the country is around 17 . They overperformed in georgia. It is actually 21 . Young voters. What happened is there is a coalition, a multiracial, multigenerational coalition that are rising up, and weve been organizing. What you saw happen in georgia is a result of over ten years of deep organizing and community where there is strong organizations on the ground that have been working together coordinating and thats why when i said and im not going to say i told you so, but that is why. Oh, please say i told you so, because you did. Now tell us what happens in the Senate Campaigns that have until january 5th to rack up more democratic wins in georgia. Very, very hopeful about what is going to happen. One, we have the wind beneath our wings. We have the momentum behind us. Ever since the election, my phone has been blowing up. When you look at there are almost 23,000 young people who will come of age between now and december who are eligible to vote. And so when you start with the momentum. There is a lot of excitement, a lot of interest, we know how critical these senate seats are, and i see a lot of organizations that are continuing the infrastructure in place. So i think once again that georgia is on the verge of shocking the nation and shocking everybody to really be able to see the potential and the possibilities that exist in this state. Latosha brown, thank you for your guidance on georgia and other states. Thank you for joining us tonight. And latosha, before you go, just one more time i would like to hear you say i told you so. Well, lawrence, i told you so there you go. Save that video. Thank you, latosha. Up next, the woman responsible for the biden harris victory as the Campaign Manager.
