Who had just defeated hoover in almost a landslide 18 points. Herbert hoover was not happy not just because he lost so badly. Hoover that fdr was an actual madman. And back then election day wasnt until march 4th. President hoover had a full four months as a lame duck president , and he decided to use them to try to get fdr to abandoned the new deal, the plan on which fdr had just won a landslide victory. The journalist
Ronald Shafer
writes at the
Washington Post
this week, quote, at their first postelection facetoface meeting on november 22nd in the red room of the white house hoover opened the meeting with an hour long lecture on
International Economic
issues. Hoover later told an advisor hed been educating a very ignorant if wellmeaning young man. Fdr, by the way, was 50 years at the time and just 8 years younger than hoover. Hoover kept asking fdr to signon to economic plans with him, and fdr kept saying no because hed run against hoovers economic plans. Hoover publicly released the telegrams between them because he thought it would make fdr look unhelpful. Roosevelt and hoover and their families met in january. Roosevelt told hoover, quote, like hell i will. If you havent the guts to do it yourself ill wait i will im president to do it. The meeting deteriorated from there. Fdr said his son, jails, quote, wanted to munch hoover in the eye, end quote. Hoover was laying the ground work for his own political comeback. Quote, hoovers strategy now was to show that the foolish new dealer had been given every chance to come to his senses. When fdr failed hoover would be redeemed and the people would return him to the presidency. Already planning his next president ial run four years later before he was even out of the white house, sounds like someone else we know. One productive thing did happen during the transition. The 20th amemd to the constitution was ratified moving up the date of the
Inauguration Day
so that no president would ever again have a four month lame duck period, which is why our next president will be inaugurated not on march 4th but on january 20th. So close and yet so far. But even if our own lame duck president and his allies have not acknowledged the defeat, even if they never will, there is a sense at as this week comes to a close that the inevitability of donald trump leaving the white house is beginning to set in. Designating joe biden the apparent winner in georgia. The results may depend upon a potential recount or final official tallies. And indeed a hand recount is under way in georgia. Its an expensive undertaking that will take several days but not expected to change the ultimate outcome. Joe biden currently leads donald trump in the state by over 14,000 votes. Historically recounts change tallies by no more than a few hundred if that. Nbc news has also projected today the state of
North Carolina
will go to
President Trump
. He leads there by over 73,000 votes. And that means that this is the final electoral map for the 2020 election. Joe biden has 306 electoral votes to
Donald Trumps
232. That is the exact same margin by which
President Trump
won the 2016 election. A result trump called a landslide and historic victory. Earlier this morning the government of china officially congratulated joe biden on his win. Shiny had been noticeably silent for the past week even as dozens of other countries publicly recognized bidens victory. Who knows, maybe it was nbc calling for biden late last night that finally did it it for china. Only the
Second Democratic
president ial candidate in eight years to win it for arizona . Okay, now its time to congratulate him. Republican senator
Martha Mcsally
called the democrat mark kelly to congratulate him on his win. Arizona will now be represented by two
Democratic Senators
for the
First Time Since
the 1950s. Also in arizona the
Trump Campaign
today gave up on its election lawsuit in maricopa county. The
Campaign Said
the suit was moot because its allegations concerned fewer than 200 ballots, nowhere near enough to change the outcome of the arizona president ial race. Though the real reason the
Trump Campaign
gave up on that lawsuit nearly that they were laughed out of court for their socalled evidence of voting irr irregularities which were a bunch of online survies even the
Trump Campaign
lawyer admitted was filled with lies and spam. Today in michigan another state biden won, a judge blocked an attempt by
Trump Supporters
to stop the certification of
Election Results
in detroit. In pennsylvania also in bidens call, the federal
Appeals Court
rejected an attempt to toss out a bunch of mailin ballots, and two state judges smacked down six cases brought by the
Trump Campaign
trying to invalidate votes in philadelphia. Meanwhile lawyers are literally fleeing whats left of the
Trump Campaign
s litigation. Today a law firm leading the lawsuit for the
Trump Campaign
in pennsylvania abruptly withdrew from the case. And that comes after a
Different Law Firm
jumped ship from representing the
Republican National
committee in a case challenging votes in arizona. And even now jones day a law firm close to this administration theyve practically staffed half the federal government, jones day says it will not get involved in anymore litigation over this election. Not only did the hot line produce no evidence it was flooded with prank calls. Also remember a few days ago when trumps attorney general put out that really unsettling memo telling u. S. Attorneys around the country they should go ahead and investigate supposed voter fraud and the head of the justice departments election
Crimes Department
was so upset by the memo that he stepped down immediately . Well, today 16 assistant u. S. Attorneys specifically tasked with monitoring elections wrote to attorney general bill barr saying that they have seen absolutely zero evidence of voter fraud or other problems. And they asked him to please rescind his memo because it appears so nakedly partisan. All of
Donald Trumps
long shot slapdash attempts to try to overturn the
Election Results
are falling short. Even donald trump himself today appeared to almost accidently acknowledge that a new administration is taking over soon. Here he was today speaking publicly for the first time in days talking about how terrible he thinks it would be to do any sort of lockdown to stop the spread of covid19. Ideally we wont go to a lockdown. This administration will not be going to a lockdown. Hopefully 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. President trump today appearing to maybe almost accidently say the phrase
Biden Administration
. Maybe the president of the
United States
saying he doesnt know who won is a bit of progress for him insisting he won. If thats the only progress were getting, i guess well take it. The president didnt say anything else about the election today. His appearance today was about the governments
Covid Vaccine
initiative, operation warp speed and how well its going and how nobody but donald trump could have made that happen. As you know if there is an effective and workable
Covid Vaccine
available soon, that will be amazing news. But the virus numbers are relent la relentlessly terrible right now. Today there were more than 170,000 new coronavirus cases in the
United States
. Weve never had over 170,000 cases in one day. This is the fourth day this week that we have set a new record. 1,249 americans died from covid19 today, and its going to get so much worse before it gets better because the federal government has failed to lead and has failed to back basic
Public Health
steps like universal mask wearing. One of the things that was appealing to lots of people about the candidate joe biden and now president elect joe biden and his
Transition Team
is that he inherently promised we might get back to some normalcy in government, and theres no doubt well get to some normalcy in basic metrics under a biden presidency. No more family members,
Family Friends
and family wedding planners in
Top Administration
jobs. No more pulling out of pretty basic
International Agreements
like the paris climate accords. No more insulting allied leaders. No more cruelty like trying to deport dreamers or going to court to throw millions of people off of their health insurance. And maybe just basic competence and normalcy is all we dare hope for in the moment. But in fact some of what we are seeing out of the biden transition right now especially when it comes to tackling the coronavirus pandemic exceeds normalcy. What we are seeing is the president elect tapping real expertise, tapping people who come in with solutions, tapping people who have managed big crises before. We need more than normalcy. We might be equipped to get more than normalcy. It is not normal to come to office in the midst of a raging pandemic that has already killed nearly 250,000 americans. But the new guys might actually rise to the challenge. They might actually get the best people around and tackle a once in a century pandemic. They might manage to get us better than normal. Joining us now is valerie jarrett, the author of finding my voice, my journey to the west wing and the path forward. Valerie, good to see you again. The point i want to make is were also desperate for normal. When theres a list put out of the number of people on the
Advisory Boards
for all areas of government, when the
New York Times
published a list of possible cabinet secretaries, it was remarkable reading through it and seeing the biographies of people with experience, none of which was involved with being commentators on tv or quack scientists. There were real people willing to stand up and staff this government. Good evening, ali. Youre absolutely right. The word that comes to mind is competence. Another word would be honesty, evidence based, humane, decent. I could go on. And so, yes, president elect biden
Vice President
elect harris and the team of people they have around them will be able to hit the ground running. And i think we can all then sleep a lot more peacefully at night. Thats certainly for sure. And we saw this week the selection of ron klein, someone who i worked with very closely in the white house who is smart as a whip, organized, disciplined, no nonsense, decent, a good person, experience on the hill, experience in the white house for two different presidencies. Just the kind of person that you would want a president to have at his side during an enormously challenging time here. This is a serious time were in and its time for the nonsense to end. You know joe biden. Wave gone through a presidency in which donald trump either didnt believe he was the smart est person in the room or did, and it was that decision of trusted advisers some of whom in this administration have been strong and have great experience. Whats joe bidens approach to tough and strong decisions in. Hes thoughtful, a good listener, intellectually curious, respectful of even the most junior staff person in the room recognizing theyre probably the one up all night doing the work, crunching the numbers. Hes deliberate in his
Decision Making
process. He believes in process. He reads. So i think he has a lot of strengths that hell bring oo the table to ensure he makes informed decisions. He also believes, ali, diversity is a strength, so he will surround himself with people who do not have identical
Life Experiences
to his own. And obviously beginning with the
Vice President
that he selected hes done that. Obviously
Vice President
elect
Kamala Harris
is competent, independent, strongminded. And he said he wants someone who will push him and make sure that he thinks about all of the possible implications and ramifications of his decisions. And i think thats the way the white house and the cabinet will look as well. Ron klein was on with lawrence last night, and one of the things they were discussing was
Mitch Mcconnell
. You know, one of the advantages joe biden has in this world is those are his people. Hes from the senate, he was there for years. Kamala harris is in the senate, and thats where so many of the has been for the last 12 years. Hes not spoken, though, to senator mcconnell. Look, i think senator mcconnell still seem tuesday s to be insi somehow
President Trump
won the election and he didnt. Theyll have a talking relationship when the time comes. Valerie, you know there are a lot of people saying dont negotiate with the republicans, dont meet them halfway, but you also know what it feels like to be in a government where theres stone walling, where
Mitch Mcconnell
calls himself the grim reaper for democratic legislation. How does that relationship move forward given there are so many republicans who wont even acknowledge the election of joe biden . As president elect biden said they will in time, and he does have deep ties in the senate and the house. He obviously served in the senate for a number of years, and he during the time where he was
Vice President
with president obama often he would be the one to go up on the hill and negotiate with the republican because of those strong ties. I think what is happening right now in this period, ali, is that theyre just so terrified of
President Trump
that theyre afraid to do what they know to be right. And im hoping that after president elect biden is sworn in that we do see a seat change. But its going to take the continued activism of the
American People
pushing their representatives to do the right thing. For example, weve got to have a relief package for the workers losing their benefits, for the small bgzs closing, for our state and local government. There is important relief that the federal government is going to have to deliver. And i would add that president obama and
Vice President
biden face the same challenges back in 2009. And we were able to get a package passed for 800 billion, which then
Vice President
biden oversaw with the help of ron klein. And so we do know that we can rise to this occasion. When i say we i mean we the
American People
, and thats whos going to have to push the republicans to over their love affair or their fear of donald trump and start doing the peoples work once again. Valerie jarrett, good to speak to you again. Shes the former
Senior Advisor
to president obama. Thank you for your time. Thank you, ali. As we hit yet another terrible new record in the covid crisis more than 172,000 americans were diagnosed with covid today. We are learning more tonight about one group in particular thats been very hard hit in large part because of the president s actions. The secret
Service Agents
who protect him. The reporter who broke that sto story joins us next. That sto story joins us next. Heres to the duers. To all the people who realize they can du more with less asthma thanks to dupixent, the addon treatment for specific types of moderatetosevere asthma. Dupixent isnt for sudden breathing problems. It can improve lung function for better breathing in as little as 2 weeks and help prevent severe asthma attacks. Its not a steroid but can help reduce or eliminate oral steroids. Dupixent can cause serious allergic reactions including anaphylaxis. Get help right away if you have rash, shortness of breath, chest pain, tingling or numbness in your limbs. Tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection and dont change or stop your asthma treatments, including steroids, without talking to your doctor. Are you ready to du more with less asthma . Talk to your asthma specialist about dupixent. If your financial situation has changed, we may be able to help. My husband would have been on the sidelines. But not anymore an alternative to pills voltaren is the first full prescription strength nonsteroidal antiinflammatory gel to target pain directly at the source for powerful arthritis pain relief. Voltaren. The joy of movement. With priceline, you can get up to 60 off amazing hotels. And when you get a big deal. You feel like a big deal. Priceline. Every trip is a big deal. Still the one and i cant get enough were still having fun, and youre still the one. Applebees 2 for 20. Its date night in the neighborhood. Businesses today are looking to tomorrsetting the course. Ating. But new ways of working demand a new type of network. One thats more than just fast. You need flexibility to work from anywhere and manage from everywhere. Advanced technology. With serious security. And reliable coverage, nationwide. Forwardthinking enterprises deserve forwardthinking solutions. And thats what we deliver. So bounce forward, with comcast business.

Nbc news president ial historian
Michael Beschloss<\/a> always drops gems on his twitter feed, but today he tweeted an anecdote about jfk that seems quaint by todays standards. On a cold night, seeing a secret
Service Agent<\/a> outside the oval office, jfk asked him inside but was told he couldnt. Kennedy brought out two cups of hot chocolate, which they both drank in the cold. Years later the weeping agent said, thats the kind of president ive been serving. Compare that level of regard for the secret service to this exclusive report from
Carol Leonnig<\/a> and josh dawsey at the
Washington Post<\/a>. They report that, quote, more than 130 secret
Service Officers<\/a> are said to be infected with coronavirus or quarantining in wake of
Trumps Campaign<\/a> travel. The spread of the coronavirus, which has sidelined roughly 10 of the agencys
Core Security Team<\/a> is believed to be partly linked to a series of
Campaign Rallies<\/a> that
President Trump<\/a> held in the weeks before the november 3rd election, end quote. The report adds that on the day before the election, five separate groups of secret
Service Officers<\/a> were needed to cover each of the five
Campaign Rallies<\/a> that trump held. Were talking about anywhere between 20 and several dozen agents at each stop screening spectators, securing the perimeter. Throw in the president s nonchalance about maskwearing at these rallies, and its not hard to see how so many secret
Service Agents<\/a> ended up sick or in quarantine. And these werent the only instances when the president s team was put at risk. After being diagnosed with covid, trump did a joyride around walter reed in a hermetically sealed vehicle with agents inside. The following day when he returned to the white house still sick, he yanked off his
Face Covering<\/a> and went inside maskless. It all comes against the backdrop of a soaring number of infections in this country. Just today the
United States<\/a> broke another coronavirus record with more than 172,000 new cases reported. And at this point the president s choices arent just affecting the health of the people sworn to protect him. As the
Washington Post<\/a> reports, the number of officers who have been pulled off duty has put a further strain on the overworked team tasked with the president s care, something that could endanger the security of the white house. Joining us now is
Carol Leonnig<\/a>. Shes one of the reporters who broke this story. Carol, thank you for being here tonight. There is nothing that members of the secret service can do about this. They are they dont get to choose what they do. They are generally not thanked for the work that they do because we dont know who they are. They work in sort of anonymity protecting the president. But the rest of us could see this coming. We could see that the president and everybody in his superspreader events were traveling around the country. They cant do anything. They dont get to say no. Thats absolutely right, ali. This is a group of and, remember, you know, were all familiar with the famous, iconic agents, the sunglasses, the suits, holding the president s belt loop as he leans into a group of people to grasp them. These are u. S. Secret
Service Officers<\/a>. Theyre a different group. They usually wear uniforms. They support protection of the white house. You see them when you go up to the white house. Theyre all around the perimeter. But they also are the backbone of protecting the president when hes on travel. They create basically an external security bubble around every event the president has and every event that the
Vice President<\/a> has and, indeed, they are huge support for the major candidates like joe biden when he was campaigning. Right. But they dont have a choice. They cant work from home. You know, they have to go. When the boss says, were heading to kenosha or were heading to five cities on november 2nd, thats where theyre going to set up that security and to protect that area. It just so happened that they were heading out in the midst of a pandemic but also in the midst of covid spiking across the country, and spiking in the states that they were visiting. And spiking in the bubble that is the white house, which is fascinating because every one of these secret
Service Agents<\/a> is trained literally to stand in the way of danger for the president , literally to take that bullet, literally to fall at the expense of the president. Its got to work on their psyche that theyre ready to do that. They are ready to face real danger. Theyre not looking for danger they didnt need to face because of recklessness. Absolutely. And so well said. I mean this is a group that will always saddle up for any danger. Ive been really amazed in studying and researching this group of patriots. You know, they are willing to stand in the cold for hours and hours, snow falling down their noses and into their shoes, sweating up a storm in death valley, sweat dripping down their backs and legs, aching. I remember one agent telling me, i have drunk so much coffee, my breath could take paint off a car because thats how many hours they will stand up working. Just really an
Amazing Group<\/a> of people. But in this instance, they are being forced essentially out into an unknown danger, one they cant mitigate against, and one that the white house staff and the president himself encouraged because they wont wear the masks the
Public Health<\/a> guidelines urge. Keep in mind the president , the president s wife, the chief of staff, multiple, multiple aides to the president and multiple, multiple advisers to his campaign have now tested positive. So you can see why people who are securing the president and securing the white house are coming in contact even when theyre not traveling with people who are infected. These folks who are so dedicated to taking risks want to take calculated, appropriate risks. Right. And this is not a calculated one. This is not a natural one. And its frankly not a necessary one. Yeah, ive met a few secret
Service Agents<\/a> in my time. Theres nothing reckless, theres nothing uncalculated about them. They believe they can stay alive through these jobs because of the way they think things out, the way they strategize, and the way they think ahead, and exposing themselves to coronavirus needlessly doesnt fit the bill for that. They will be ramping up the protection of joe biden in the coming days if they havent already, which means that the pressure on them from these 130plus agents being out is even harder felt. Carol, thanks for your great reporting on the members of the secret service. Carol is a reporter for the
Washington Post<\/a>. We appreciate your time as always. Ali, thanks for the good questions. With the number of new covid cases in the country topping more than 172,000 just today, doctors and nurses are once again heading for a breaking point. What does it mean for hospital patients all across the country . Im going to talk about that after this quick break. Did you know you can go to libertymutual. Com to customizes your

Me to accept. I decided. Hiv doesnt define me. My names dimitri. And im on biktarvy. Biktarvy is a complete, onepill, onceaday treatment. Used for hiv in certain adults. Its not a cure, but with one small pill. Biktarvy fights hiv to help you get to and stay undetectable. Thats when the amount of virus is so low. It cannot be measured by a lab test. Serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems and kidney failure. Rare, lifethreatening side effects include a buildup of lactic acid and liver problems. Do not take biktarvy if you take dofetilide or rifampin. Tell your doctor about all the medicines and supplements you take,. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis. If you have hepatitis b, do not stop taking biktarvy without talking to your doctor. Common side effects were diarrhea, nausea, and headache. If youre living with hiv. Keep loving who you are. And ask your doctor if biktarvy is right for you. As we reported earlier, the
United States<\/a> has broken yet another record for
Coronavirus Infections<\/a> in a single day. More than 172,000 new cases. Ten days ago we hadnt crossed 100,000. This is just one of the statistics thats trending sharply in the wrong direction right now. The other one is hospitalizations. Based on data from the covid tracking project, hospitalizations increased in 47 states over the past week. Only four states saw a decrease in hospitalizations, and that metric helps us quantify the amount of pressure heaped on medical professionals across the country right now. One doctor at an
Oklahoma City<\/a> hospital called integrys health recorded this glimpse of what life is like now for him and his colleagues, including a nurse who was a covid patient as they try to fight this virus. All right. Here we are in the intensive care unit, taking care of the
Covid Patients<\/a> for what is, again, a very full unit. You can see here another patient on rotoprone,
Pretty Healthy<\/a> before all of this. This is what we call the icu thicket. Look how many pumps. This is one patient. This is one patient. It takes a nasa engineering degree to be able to run all of these lines on one single patient, and that just tells you most people watching this have never had more than one iv in at a time, much less two, four, six, eight, ten, all running simultaneously. And some of those are double pumps. Charles, talk about maybe your experience as a nurse and as a patient. As a patient, ive seen things on the other side that i normally dont see as a nurse. A lot of things changed the way i nurse now. I had one nurse say a prayer in my ear one time when i was going downhill real fast. How long until you came back to work . Well, i had to isolate for a total of 21 days. Mmhmm. So i was off for three months. Three months . And you were on oxygen at home for a while too. I was on oxygen at home and not really getting a paycheck, so financially, mentally, physically, it devastates you. Anybody have anything to say to the masses . I think were all getting tired of this, but if you dont change your ways, this is going to be endless. Its going to be endless. Theres no end in sight right now. Thats absolutely true. Absolutely true. That was dr. David chansolme, the medical director of
Infection Prevention<\/a> at integrys health in
Oklahoma City<\/a>, speaking with his colleagues about how theyre handling the constant influx. The doctors experience is becoming a horrifying norm. Medical professionals need help and cooperation from all of us right now. As the atlantics ed yong puts it after interviewing medical professionals across the country, in the imminent future, patients will start to die because there are simply not enough people to care for them. Doctors and nurses will burn out, the most
Precious Resource<\/a> in the u. S. Health care system has in its struggle against covid19 isnt some miracle drug. Its the expertise of its
Health Care Workers<\/a>, and they are exhausted. Joining me now, ed yong, staff writer at the atlantic covering science. Ed, good to see you. Thank you for being with us tonight. Whats the big takeaway for you when youve talked to these
Health Professionals<\/a> other than their remarkable dedication, other than the fact that they dont work from home, they expose themselves and their families to coronavirus to do this . But what did you learn . They are exhausted, and that word almost doesnt do justice to what theyre feeling. Many of them are working 12, 24, 36hour shifts. They are dealing with patients dying on them a ridiculous and growing rate. A lot of them are working in
Emergency Rooms<\/a> and icus that are full. Covid patients are some of the sickest patients theyve ever had to deal with. They require much more time. Theyre in icus for three times the usual stays, and a lot of them are dying. And i cant even begin to tell you the toll that takes on people. Nurses, some of the most empathetic people in the world, and one woman said to me that, you know, theres only so many bags you can zip up. Thats what its doing to them. Its just crushing them emotionally. And the problem is getting worse. You know, we have already in some states, in iowa, where i talked to several people, there are no staffed beds left. They are at capacity, and the rise were seeing in cases, those vertical lines were seeing on the graphs, that is going to in two weeks time descend upon these icus that are already stretched to breaking point. Then the people who get infected at thanksgiving are going to deliver a knockout punch two weeks after that. I want to read from your article. During the earlier surges, hospitals canceled elective surgeries and pulled in doctors from outpatient clinics. People with heart problems, cancer, strokes, and other diseases found it harder to get medical help and some sat on their illnesses for fear of contracting covid19 at the hospital. Now
Health Care Workers<\/a> are facing an influx of unusually sick people at a time when covid19 has consumed their attention and their facilities. Were still catching up on all of that, says chu, the oregon physician. Even the simplest patients arent simple. This has been something weve been dealing with. If youve got cancer, youve got heart disease, youre got diabetes, for nine months youve been saying hopefully this is going to get better and ill have a chance to go in and get the treatment i need. But every one of those beds thats full, its not a bed. We talk about hospital beds, but its staffing. A hospital bed can exist. Unless you have people to staff it, there are people going without treatment. There are people who may never get covid who may not get treatment and will die because we are up to capacity in our health care systems. Yeah, thats absolutely right. Its not just the people with covid. The entire
Health System<\/a> crumbles when
Health Care Workers<\/a>, when doctors and nurses are too tired, too overwhelmed, too stressed to just do the business of taking care of patients. And this one thing thats very different about this third surge than the previous ones, in the previous ones, covid19, this pandemic was confined to the northeast and then the south. So doctors could call in for reinforcements. The cavalry could come. Now the entire country is on fire as you saw from the maps. Mmhmm. So many places. Almost every state is seeing rises in cases, people in hospitals. Theres no help coming. Theres no place to draw reinforcements from. So doctors are stuck. Theyre seeing what is on the horizon. Theyre already overwhelmed, and they know what is going to come, and its not good. Like there is some hope. There is a
Biden Administration<\/a> on the way. There is a vaccine on the way. But thats not going to arrive until the next year, and so the choices we make now collectively in the next days and weeks, we will decide how
Many Americans<\/a> are still alive next year to get a vaccine and how many
Health Care Workers<\/a> are destroyed in the process. And you pointed out that the gatherings from thanksgiving will result in more of this stuff. So, please, everybody, its been so long since people have seen their family or their grandparents or their kids. They rethink all your plans for thanksgiving. Ed yong is a staff writer at the atlantic covering science. Thank you for being here. Thanks for having me. Today
Congress Held<\/a> freshman orientation for its newly elected incoming class of representatives. Typically freshman orientation isnt much to write home about, but some of the personalities in this incoming class made this years orientation a bit more like reality tv and a bit less like cspan than normal. Ill show you what i mean on the other side of this break. Other side of this break for over 30 years, lexus has been celebrating driveway moments.

These are all great. And when you get a big deal. You feel like a big deal. Priceline. Every trip is a big deal. Today newly elected members of congress from across the country arrived at the capitol to attend freshman orientation. Among them qanonsupporting, conspiracytweeting, soontobe republican congresswoman from georgia
Marjorie Taylor<\/a> greene. She immediately courted controversy with this tweet about their first sessions covid safety protocols. Masks, masks, masks. I proudly told my freshman class that masks are oppressive. In georgia we work out, shop, go to restaurants, go to work and
School Without<\/a> masks. My body, my choice. Anyone else see the irony in that . Honestly where do you even start with a tweet like that . On the other side of the aisle, one incoming democrats comment on masks received attention for an entirely different reason. This was the tweet from the
Incoming Democratic<\/a> freshman cori bush, who was elected to represent the 1st district of missouri. Quote, its day one, so im wearing my
Breonna Taylor<\/a> mask. A few of my republican colleagues have called me breonna, assuming thats my name. It hurts, but im glad theyll come to know her name and story because of my presence here. Breonna must be central to our work in congress. Breonna taylor, for anyone out there who does not know, which apparently includes multiple members of the incoming republican class, was a 26yearold aspiring nurse who was shot and killed by police during the execution of a socalled noknock warrant inside her louisville, kentucky, apartment back in march. No
Police Officers<\/a> were charged in connection with her death. Taylors killing led to nationwide protests against
Police Brutality<\/a> and for racial justice. Congresswomanelect bush still wearing her
Breonna Taylor<\/a> mask described the feeling of being mistaken for taylor to reporters afterwards. You know, first of all, i am
Breonna Taylor<\/a> as far as i could be a black woman murdered in my bed tonight, you know . But i am not
Breonna Taylor<\/a>. This
Breonna Taylor<\/a> was murdered in her bed at night, and she does not have justice of murder by the police. And i just want people to, you know we have to stretch ourselves and
Pay Attention<\/a> to whats happening in other parts of the country, but this has been
National News<\/a> for a long time. People have protested in the streets with this name, and it just saddens me that people arent that people in leadership, people that want to be in leadership, dont know the struggles that are happening to black people in this country. And its its its just disheartening, and it was hurtful, absolutely hurtful. I didnt hear it once. I didnt hear it twice. I heard it several times im being called called, you know,
Breonna Taylor<\/a> today, you know. But its okay because we will educate, and well make sure that people know who she is, what she stood for, that she was an awardwinning emt, you know, in her community, that shes someone who deserves justice right now. Its okay because well educate. Well make sure that people know who she is, what she stood for. Say her name. Of course that admirable level of restraint, spirit, and forgiveness and positive energy, its going to be needed more than ever in the 117th congress. Democrats will likely see their current majority of 35 seats shrink to about half of that when new members like congresswomanelect bush are sworn in on january 3rd. We are trying to get congresswoman bush on the line. Were going to talk to her on the other side of the break. Stay with us. Stay with us he uses fresh, clean ingredients to make a masterpiece. Taste our delicious new flatbread pizzas today. Panera. My husband would have been on the sidelines. But not anymore an alternative to pills voltaren is the first full prescription strength nonsteroidal antiinflammatory gel to target pain directly at the source for powerful arthritis pain relief. Voltaren. The joy of movement. And ask your doctor about biktarvy. Biktarvy is a complete, onepill, onceaday treatment used for hiv in certain adults. Its not a cure, but with one small pill, biktarvy fights hiv to help you get to and stay undetectable. Thats when the amount of virus is so low it cannot be measured by a lab test. Research shows people who take hiv treatment every day and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit hiv through sex. Serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems and kidney failure. Rare, lifethreatening side effects include a buildup of lactic acid and liver problems. Do not take biktarvy if you take dofetilide or rifampin. Tell your doctor about all the medicines and supplements you take, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis. If you have hepatitis b, do not stop taking biktarvy without talking to your doctor. Common side effects were diarrhea, nausea, and headache. If youre living with hiv, keep loving who you are. And ask your doctor if biktarvy is right for you. I had hiv, it was difficult for. Me to accept. I decided. Hiv doesnt define me. My names dimitri. And im on biktarvy. Biktarvy is a complete, onepill, onceaday treatment. Used for hiv in certain adults. Its not a cure, but with one small pill. Biktarvy fights hiv to help you get to and stay undetectable. Thats when the amount of virus is so low. It cannot be measured by a lab test. Serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems and kidney failure.

If you have hepatitis b, do not stop taking biktarvy without talking to your doctor. Common side effects were diarrhea, nausea, and headache. If youre living with hiv. Keep loving who you are. And ask your doctor if biktarvy is right for you. I didnt hear it once. I didnt hear it twice. I heard it several times im being called called
Breonna Taylor<\/a> today. But its okay because well educate and well make sure that people know who she is, what she stood for, that she was an
Award Winning<\/a> emt in her community, that she is someone who deserves justice right now. So generally in tv we like to talk to people on tv because sometimes you lose something when you just talk to them on the phone. But were having some technical difficulty, and weve got congressmanelect cori bush on the phone. I tell you one thing, having gotten to know this woman a little bit, you lose nothing by having her on the phone. She brings everything to every conversation she has. She is soon going to be representing the people of missouris first congressional district. Congresswomanelect, good to talk to you again. Thank you so much for joining us tonight. Thank you for having me. This story that you tell is remarkable. I guess the bubbles in which we live dont let us understand that there are lots of people who dont know the name
Breonna Taylor<\/a>. In fact, the irony is the message out there is say her name so that black women who get killed at the hands of police are known. They are not forgotten. They are not erased. And thats exactly what you were doing by wearing a mask with her name on it. And what you encountered today was that very eraser, that people didnt know who
Breonna Taylor<\/a> was. How did you keep your composure and educate people . Because thats really the only way this is going to work. At first it was hurtful, because im thinking to myself, im wearing this to uplift her name, but im thinking im doing this in a space where people should already know her name. So to find out that it was not only did people not know her name, it was so bad to where you thought i was her. But, you know, wearing that mask and hearing what people said, it just made me think about a day when someone walked up this white woman walked up to me and she rubbed the back of my hand. Why are you rubbing my hand . Just to see if it comes off. She wanted to see if my color, if this brown skin comes off. And i didnt get upset. I understood she needed to be exposed to black people. She said she hadnt been exposed. To me, in this situation, were talking about people who are leaders. Were talking about people who are leaders in communities where there are black people, where there are brown people, where there are people that are murdered by police, where there are people who are, you know, unhoused or whatever it is, people who have issues with police. And we need them to understand that they have to serve the entire community. And so this was it was very disturbing because when we said we want to leave, we signed up for this. We signed up to say we want to lead. 750,000 people, regardless of what they looked like, where they come from, they are in our district. So we want to lead them. And you cannot do that. There have been protests all over this country. The whole map was lit up. Protests all over this country for george floyd and
Breonna Taylor<\/a>, so i just dont understand why that name did not ring a bell to several people today. Congresswoman, you and i had a remarkable conversation the other day in which you were talking about uplifting other types of people as well, including people who are homeless, including mothers who are bringing up their children, including people who are food insecure. You were very, very frank about who you are and what youre bringing to congress. You even made a comment to me about the fact that you know, when youre homeless, you smell because you cant bathe. Yes. And that alone stops people from taking you seriously or wanting to do business with you or wanting to help you out. And you want to bring that level of empathy. But youre in those fancy halls now, and thats where youre going to be. How will you make them see the
Life Experience<\/a> you have had . The same way that i did it today. The same way i walked in. And cori, the same cori that i was the other day before i won, im
Walking Around<\/a> with my black lives matter shirts on, with my shirts that are my activism shirts. The same way. Im going continue to use my voice. Because i remember a day, ali, i remember the days when i didnt know where to use the bathroom. When i was sleeping out of a car. Where do you use the bathroom if you are unhoused . I know what the pain of hunger feels like. I know what the worry of are my children going to be safe while were out here. I know what thats like. I know what its like to feel to wonder if im the next
Breonna Taylor<\/a>, or india kager. Tanisha anderson, rekia boyd, sandra bland, maya hawke, natasha mckenna. I am them, and they are me. And so i have to make sure that in order for nobody else in my communities to become a hash tag, because malcolm x said. Yep. He said the most disrespected person in america is the black woman. We have to make sure that people all over our country understand that we deserve respect. We deserve to be treated like everyone else in this country. We give so much. Black women give so much. And not only black women, people all people all over that are marginalized give so much. And we receive so little, and we receive the attacks and the bitter force. But no more. Cori is in the house. Cori is in the peoples house, and im going make sure they hear my voice because im tired of the hurt. Im tired of the pain, and my daughter will have better. Daughters all over this country that look like me. That will have better because people like me and my good sister
Ayanna Pressley<\/a> and so many others, my new sisters that walked in with me out of georgia, yes. Nikema. Yes. We will be walking in those doors making sure that
Everybody Knows<\/a> that our voices have to stand in this country. As i promised my viewers, you get no less cori bush on the phone than you do in person. Congresswomanelect cori bush, thank you for being who you are. You will soon be representing the people of missouris first congressional district, the first black woman to do so. Thank you for your time tonight. Thank you. And that does it for tonight. You can catch me again tomorrow morning for my show velshi from 8 00 to 10 00. On sunday ill be hosting a special hour of velshi surviving the next wave. Ill be joined by a cast of experts to answer your questions about getting through the crisis that is the covid economy. Here is your homework. If you run or work for a business that is struggling with this ongoing covid surge, send your questions about how to survive it financially to mystory velshi. Com. Our experts might give you an answer on air. Ill tweet that out as well. With that, it is time for the with that it is time for the last word with my friend, lawrence odonnell. Is there tension between and you lawrence. I said there is zero tension. I just dont know how the mechanics of the handoff go. You are probably one of the few people that will indulge my economic conversations at great length. While you do not publicize that you are a secret communist at heart. I majored in economics in college, so i would not dare call myself an economist. I know how to read the stuff.
