biden jr. as the president of united states. >> dana: griff jenkins, you made a point after you interviewed the man from tampa, they were promised something. right before president trump tweeted about supporting the capital police he said this on twitter. "mike pence didn't have the courage what should've been done to protect our country and constitution, giving states a chance to certify, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones that they were asked to previously certify. usa demands the truth." griff jenkins with an update? >> i want to tell you that the sentiment in the streets is getting to a different level. what is happening here, as you can see all the way up the hill, the police dealing with the capital, but here this is a trump supporter rv, i'm asking them now, listen, are you okay with what is happening? this is spinning out of control, this is turning violent and getting dangerous. you are very much a group put together of military and law enforcement. one gentleman says he's a veteran

joe biden. alex marquardt, you're getting some more information, update our viewers. >> well, wolf, we've moved back a little bit, since we spoke to you last, a large crowd of these rioters, a mob of them, descended on the press area where we were, i believe that was the area that our colleague pete was talking about, clearly not fans of the way that we have been depicting them, which is a mob of violent rioters. and so now, the question becomes, when does law enforcement go in and clear this area? it has just been a surreal afternoon watching this crowd go in and get into the capitol building. so, what we've seen over the course of the past couple of hours is different kinds of law enforcement gathering around the capitol. what you're seeing right here is metropolitan police department, so, washington police, as you've been noting, wolf, we are under and hour now from the curfew. it is not clear whether they plan on going in and helping clear out those rioters before the curfew, but that is cer

. >> harris: let's start here, president biden set to met with treasury secretary janet yellen this hour as the white house is facing some strong questions over the growing controversy which is rattling wall street. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". it is being called a populist revolution in the market. retail traders online sparking a surge in certain stocks like retailer gamestop leading to billions of dollars in losses for hedge funds that were shorting those stocks to profit if the prices were to fall. they were betting against them. but then some broker acknowledges like robinhood yesterday restricted trading in gamestop and other volatile stocks. robinhood eased up on those restrictions today but the backlash has been fierce. here is reaction from conservative radio host rush limbaugh and bar stool sports founder david portnoy. >> it's not just political now. the elites are bent out of shape that a bunch of average, ordinary users have figured out how to make themselves billionaires. everything is rigged in favor of the elites. this has upset the rigging. >>

but we will come back to haunt joe biden and the biden administration. as the expression goes, be careful what you wish for. the impeachment hoax is a continuation of the greatest and most vicious witchhunt in history of our country. and it is causing tremendous anger and division and pain, far greater than most people will ever understand. which is very dangerous for the usa especially at this very tender time. and now i would like to briefly address the events of last week. millions of our citizens watched on wednesday as a mob stormed the capital and trash the halls of government. and as i have consistently said throughout her administers, we believe in respecting america's history and traditions. not tearing them down. we believe in the rule of law, not in violence or rioting. because of the pandemic, horrible horrible invisible enemy. despite her tremendous success, developing a vaccine years before it was thought even remotely possible. nobody thought it would be possible. they said it would take five years. sir, it will take seven years, all of he

reasons they were voting against you is because of the way you behaved at rallies so the irony is, biden did have giant rallies. they were just yours and you have to love that big crowds was trump's first argument right out of the gate i'm surprised he didn't follow up with hard evidence of "most red hats sold" or "candidate whose name jeanine pirro says the loudest. and trump should have been ready for this call. according to "the washington post," trump had tried to reach raffensperger at least 18 times before saturday's call but the calls were patched to interns in the press office who thought it was a prank and didn't realize it was actually the president on the line. and prank call is a perfectly reasonable thing to think. if you read the transcript of trump's phone call with raffensperger and his lawyer ryan germany in a different voice, you'd think it was one of the jerky boys "do you think it's possible they shredded ballots in fulton county and also that dominion took out machines do you know anything about that? that's illegal." >> this is ryan germany. no, dominion has not mov

it's not good for joe biden. he should want -- he should demand that we have an absolute top-to-bottom audit pop the hood up. look under and take a look at the engine and see what happened. let there be transparency. pull the curtains back. that's what america needs to know. if this election was all on the up and up. then joe biden has nothing to fear. in fact, he has every reason to say with confidence i'm going to be sworn in as president. if the funny business went on that we have thousands of affidavits indicating that we have videotape indicating that you have expert testimony like that of jevon pliewltser who invented the bar code and said that there were clear issues of the ballot counting that were done electronically. if you have that and you don't investigate it then you leave this cloud over joe biden and his election. so, that's what ted cruz and the other republicans are asking for. it's not unreasonable. it should have been done two months ago. the unreasonable part is that the press has pretended t

the biden team says no. obviously this inauguration was going to look different any way because of the pandemic. we will not see hundreds of thousands of people here. there are some visitors moving around washington right now, but it will be a much smaller group than usual because biden has told people, americans, watch this at home. celebrate at home. it is just not safe because of the pandemic. now of course there is security concerns from fellow americans which is such a hard thing to get our heads around here as we look to move for a transfer of power. but for now, joe, president-elect biden does want the symbolism. he wants this as a first sign to try to heal america. he wants to adhere to tradition as best as he can at noon on wednesday. >> still ahead, new reporting that the rally that led to the insurrection on the capitol wasn't just grass roots trump supporters but organized by members of the president's failed campaign and other allies. that's next on "morning joe." ♪ ♪ (quiet piano music) ♪

the entire thing was based on a made up dossier paper the exact same lawyer who led joe biden's 2020 election efforts. but trying to overturn election in that way isn't treason but just getting to the bottom of it. got that? we could go on but there's a deeper factor than the political hypocrisy. earlier i talked about how conflict culture and that's been fueled by both sides but the cruel culture of class contempt and the only see that on the left and in the media from establishment republicans. >> [inaudible] antipathy to people towards people not like them. >> you could put half of trump supporters into what i call the basket of deplorable's. >> their racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, islam a phobic, you name it. >> that is partly him playing to their base and playing to their audience that the credulous boomer that backs donald trump. steve: then it's put out again this week. >> they are high-fiving each other for this deplorable display and they will go back to the olive garden into their holiday and that they are staying at in the garden marriott. steve: i have no problem

joe biden won. he won in all of the states that said formally that he will be the next president and that is what congress is going to do. but before that we are going to see republican after republican make objections including from -- this is one of the thing this is's going to boggle my mind, states in the house, they're going through arizona and pennsylvania and georgia. we know that. right? you will have somebody like andy biggs of arizona saying, no, mr. president, the election in arizona was false. it should be overturned and rejected. he's talking about his own election, too! saying with every one of these republican members from pennsylvania who will do the same thing and also from georgia. it just makes no sense. that gives you a sense of how illogical, hypocritical and st. louis -- this process is going to be. >> there's so many analogies. like the revenge of frankenstein. inmates running the asylum. this is a republican party that n nurtured and fed this creature that's about to eat them

thanks to the pandemic, they're making some adjustments to biden's swearing-in ceremony. for instance, they've eliminated the traditional inaugural parade. so to all you die-hard inaug-heads out there, i'm sorry. you'll just have to go stand in the cold and wave at traffic on your own time. cancelling the parade is just part of what the inaugural committee says will be a significantly scaled-down ceremony that will feature stringent health and safety protocols. of course, the current president was way ahead of the curve on socially distanced inauguration. speaking of stains on the country that will linger long past this president, we're still in the middle of an unprecedented pandemic. and it's changed the way we do almost everything, including watching movies. we're catching even the biggest new blockbusters at home on the couch, and last month, warner brothers announced all its 2021 films will arrive in theaters and streaming on hbo max simultaneously, including "the matrix 4." that's so exciting! i can't wait to escape into a fantasy world where all human contact is vi

, and joe biden obviously as you showed is not all that upset about it. it's the first time, by the way, that any sitting president has boycotted in effect or skipped the swearing in of his successor since andrew johnson who jon meacham wrote about in our book on impeachment. that's not quite the parallel you might have wanted. he's an impeached president, took into consideration and i suppose there's a certain synergy there. we've learned at this point to leave the white house on january 19th, the day before the inauguration. he won't even be here when the bidens are moving in, and i think that between now and then we don't know exactly what's going to happen. there's talk of him going to texas in this coming week to the border to highlight his immigration policies. he's making another video to promote the accomplishments of his administration as he sees them. if you talk to people who work there both currently and who have left in recent days, there's such a demoralized spirit. people who gave years of their life to this president and feel completely be

about 20% white males voted for biden. you have to figure in regard, they're more than 25% of the people that protected us that voted for biden. the other 75% are in the class that would be the large class of folks that might want to do something. >> martha: so 75% of the national guard would fall under the category of the folks that would want to "do something" nefarious is the suggestion there. what do you say to that, governor? >> i saw that clip and i thought to myself, that is pretty outrageous. he doesn't know the georgia national guard like i do, martha. i remember this summer 2:00, 3:00 a.m. walking around the square of the georgia state capitol shaking every guardsmans hand that was standing six feet apart protecting this building during civil unrest. it was as diverse a group as you've ever seen in your life. they were there to do one thing and that is to follow orders to protect the capitol and protect property in the city of atlanta and state assets at that time. you know, these are good people. these are your

richard, what did you make of joe biden's comments? >> i agreed with the president-elect very clearly. here is why. for the entirety of the 20th century african-americans have protested because we wanted a seat at the table. we wanted to be part of this democracy. and what we saw happen on january 6th, 2021, a day that will live in infamy we saw people incited by the president of the united states disrupt that democracy and interrupt the business of the people's house. it was undemoatic, it was lawless, it was unamerican, and it deserves no praise nor does it deserve a comparison to black lives matter peaceful protestors only asking to have a seat at the table and to have equal justice distributed to them. >> trace: that's now how the "new york post" sees it. they think the left and joe biden are having a bit of amnesia quoting blm and antifa were coddled. portland let them set up an autonomous zone for months and police and politicians did nothing. that appears to be a proper assessment of the way it was. we covered these protests all

biden would be the next president of these united states. but all of this republican-generated chaos led to an evacuation of the chambers. and legislators were hustled to secure locations to shelter in place. a question for the republican senators who helped foment this insurrection: why did you run away? i mean, these are your peeps. they love you. why didn't you hang out with your buddies, marsha blackburn, kelly loeffler, ron johnson, john "not that kennedy" kennedy. you can run all you want for the rest of your lives but you can never escape the responsibility of what you brought upon american democracy today. and this was never some sort of peaceful protest. this was charlottesville come home to roost on capitol hill. look at these thugs. a guy in a qanon t-shirt chasing a capitol security officer up flight after flight of stairs. nothing to see here, folks. just a crowd of angry white people chasing a black man. remund me: are we great again yet? the justice department finally responded with a strong show of force-- i'm sorry, no, jim,

today the biden administration is feeling embolden. it will change how big they'll swing from the fences and the scale will change because of what happened in georgia last night. >> bill: as we wait for the president here let's turn our attention to him and what his message might be in a moment. we watched his sons about an hour and a half ago. eric trump said republicans learn to fight. have a spine like my father. donald trump junior got up and said no more to republicans you have an opportunity. you can be a hero or a zero. pick a side. i imagine this address could go for quite some time when he begins, bret. >> i agree. i think it will fire up that crowd. the question really is what does the republican party look like going forward? does the loss and we expect the two losses in georgia change the dynamic today? does the call to raffensperger this week being released and what was on it change some people's perspective up on capitol hill? how he dismounts the presidency is going to matter in the future of trumpism and the future of m

mj lee is with the biden transition in delaware. mj, what are some specific complaints you're hearing from the biden team? >> reporter: well, alison, this is just the latest back and forth between the trump administration and the biden transition team. let me explain what's going on. yesterday we saw the omb director writing a letter to the biden transition team saying your accusations of obstruction are completely false. i want to read part of the letter he wrote to the transition team. he said as the record shows, omb has fully participated in transition efforts. what we have not done and will not do is use current omb staff to write the biden transition team legislative proposals to dismantle this administration's work. our system of government has one president and one administration at a time. omb will not participate in developing policies that will weaken border security, dismantle the president's deregulatory successes, and draft budgets that will bankrupt america. boiling that down, he essentially seems to be saying look, w

i think joe biden will be inaugurated as our next president. but if the thousands of people who come to washington on the 6th get into protest the way we saw earlier, trump marches, december 12, there was violence, there was -- it was well contained by the d.c. police, but nonetheless, if that multiplies and we have in washington maybe in other places nows of angry trump supporters, you know, saying as they are saying on social media stop the steal, do not certifcertify, thl that this is illegitimate and are willing to rally in large numbers to protest it, the scene could be set for trump to make some kind of announcement, to make there is an insurrection under way in the country. again, i don't think that this is likely. but this is the fear that people have. that if he did that, i think that our military is clear, top to bottom, that they would not regard the use of the u.s. military to intervene in this kind of civil disorder as appropriate. if the president is hoping for that, i think that hope is mistaken. but i think that we'll have a bum

joe biden won this election. dozens of lawsuits challenging the results have been thrown out by state judges, by federal judges including some trump picked himself. even the supreme court. election officials have done recounts in states like georgia. president trump's own homeland security and justice departments including the attorney general of the united states have said there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud or anything that would change the outcome of this election. and what these lawmakers do next week will be etched into history. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell who has recognized joe biden as the president-elect warned, republicans need to vote their conscience saying this vote will mark one of the most significant, perhaps the most significant he's ever cast or any of them will cast. cnn's boris sanchez joins us me white house. how are these senators explaining themselves? >> reporter: well, ana, in a statement released by this group, they're essentially saying that this is about maintainin

what's the number one change you've noticed between president biden -- to president biden from president trump. >> it was very clear, george, and it was articulated multiple times that the president has said it publicly, but just in a private session, sitting down with him and the medical team, he's very serious. he said, science is going to rule. we're going to go by the facts. we're going to go by the evidence. we're going to go by the data. if something is wrong, like i just said, we're going to just try to fix it and we're going to pull out all the stops to get our arms around this. getting the vaccine situation on track is his highest priority. so i mean, the idea that the president himself sits down with you and says, i want science to rule. go out there and do everything we need to do to get it done, just is really very, very refreshing. >> you faced personal threats over the past year. i was horrified to read that you had one incident you opened up an envelope and feared you were poisoned. >> yeah, that was very traumatic george, but more so for my wife and children. just really,

now obviously some members of congress are trying to put things in place but with biden, with the biden administration taking over very soon it seems to me that will be the end of these efforts because as you pointed out these companies have bought the democrats and i think we're in deep very deep trouble in that regard. so but we can monitor. that is what i'm showing here. i've been working on this since 2016 and what i'm showing is, even without laws and regulations if you shine some sunlight on what they're doing and you preserve the information that is normally lost, you can get these companies to back off. we protect democracy that way. we can protect free speech and we can protect our children. lou: and on november 3rd, what was the impact of google and facebook in your judgment in moving votes toward biden? >> well unfortunately here the news is bad because even though at the last minute we got google to back off on a very powerful manipulation the bias in google search results was so extensive that we think it is pretty clear that they shifted at least six million votes in one d

in president biden's inauguration address, he promised to defeat white supremacy. his day one executive orders emphasized racial justice. today a move to speed up getting harriet tubman on the $20 bill the plan dates back five years but was slowed down by the previous administration, which cited technical issues now this white house says the treasury will resume efforts to make it happen. >>> now, tomorrow president biden is expected to speak on inequality and his plans to fix it the naacp president and ceo derrick johnson is here with us now. mr. johnson, thank you what actions does your organization want to see the president take in these early days >>> well, to ensure that the barriers that have been put in place through public policy are removed that this administration must address covid-19. it's the right thing to do for our economy, but with a special focus on critical workers and individuals most vulnerable with an equitable relief. unfortunately, the past administration did not put in place the logistics to get the vaccine out. hopefully the president woul

he will not attend biden's inauguration. if the president wanted to redeem himself at all after the riot at the capitol and that maga mob, this is not going to do it. >> reporter: this is significant. it is such a big change of mind from where we were told the president was over the weekend. we are now told the president told people he decided to pardon steve bannon. officials cautioned saying it is not final until it is final and the president put his name on the paperwork for steve bannon's pardon. he is telling people this is the decision he made. it will be one of his final acts in office, pardoning a former top aide to him who he had a massing falling out with, but they came together over the president's lies about the election. steve bannon pushed these, talked about the rally, promoted the january 6th rally that lives in infamy and will be talked about for years to come. the other charges that steve is facing. he is defrauding people out of money they used to build the president's long promised border wall. this is ju

they could affirm biden's win at the end of the day. the question some white house aides ask themselves is what the president is going to do after that and it remains uncertain. we are told the president has still been asking people if he should attend biden's inauguration at the end of january. though, it does not appear clear cut in any way, shape or form he's made a final decision on that. >> what we're not hearing from the president is the coronavirus and the thousands of people who died just today. kaitlan collins, nauthank you s much. and now phil mattingly. 140 republicans is a stunning number and quite frankly, 140 too many but how many of them truly believe these challenges will go anywhere? >> reporter: yeah, and don't even take my reporting. take the words of senator ben sass who you quoted but in a lengthy facebook post why he had serious concerns about what's going to happen and in the post, he said explicitly, he's not spoken to a single congressional republican who does not know joe biden is the president-elect of the uni

joe biden won georgia. they know what they're doing and faced a lot of pressure from the republican president as we watched it play out. 1,208 for david perdue but there's votes to be counted in blue there. >> what is going on in georgia is a free and fair democratic election. we're standing by to hear from democratic senate candidate raphael warnock, expected to speak any moment, we'll have live coverage. election coverage will continue with chris cuomo and don lemon standing by live. ♪ (quiet piano music) (loud music & noises) ♪ (quiet piano music) comfort in the extreme. the lincoln family of luxury suvs. good morning, mr. sun. good morning, blair.

but i think biden has to show a sign of moderation. that he's not going to go for radical programs right now with majorities that are this tentative. groupt in terms of the you think will do well, by thinking with an investor's had on, would you -- does it change your thinking about how overstretched this market might be? >> i do think rates are headed a big higher -- a bit higher. i could see rates go even higher. with the democrats in control. chuck schumer now being the majority leader in the senate has always talked about infrastructure, which is an issue in new york city and obviously he would like to spend more money in that area. but at the same time, you've got a fed chair who is a dominant , making it clear that the funds rate is going to stay close to zero for another three years. so have to think that one of the big beneficiaries would be housing. yields going up to 1% are not going to hurt housing. ere, great to have you today. thank you for your time. time now for first word news. mark? chao is reportedly preparing to desi

biden said anything could fall through the cracks. the incoming administration may not be prepared for vulnerabilities, foreign countries that do not have our best interest at heart, could see that and could prepare for threats and attacks. it comes the omb, it is a priority, especially in a couple of months in the administration, in the new year to release a budget. the transition officials are saying they're not going to meet those deadlines simply because omb is blocking pertinent information for them to plan for that budget. >> thanks, marianna. appreciate it. >>> donald trump started his presidency with a lie about the size of his inauguration crowd. now, he is ending it with a conspiracy theory about november's election. it's hard to keep track of all of the lies between. joining us now is nbc news politics reporter, jane timm. some of the biggest lies about coronavirus, saying that covid-19 will go away. listen to this in february and march. >> it will disappear. like a miracle. from our shores, it could get worse before it get

think of joe biden. black voters saved his candidacy in south carolina after super tuesday, they put him on the path to becoming the democratic nominee. and you helped him win georgia and therefore the presidency. now, imagine what biden could do if democrats had control of the senate with vice president kamala harris cast being the tie-breaking vote. you don't have to imagine it. you have the power to make it happen. so make it happen. i'm jonathan capehart. this is "the sunday show." ing at heinz, every ketchup starts with our same tomatoes. but not every tomato ends in the same kind of heinz ketchup. because you can't be everyone's favorite ketchup without making a ketchup for everyone. my gums are irritated. everyone's favorite ketchup i don't have to worry about that, do i? harmful bacteria lurk just below the gum line. crest gum detoxify works below the gum line to neutralize harmful plaque bacteria and help reverse early gum damage. crest. the sleep number 360 smart bed. prices of the season on ca

i tell you this, first week is been quite dismaying seeing biden nominee after biden nominee get cozy with china. explain how -- i asked multiple nominees, will you commit to maintaining the enemies list that sanctions companies in china that are using this technology to repress in the press 1 million uighurs and human rights violations, not one single nominee will mentor that, they are beginning to get in bed with china. that is an extreme agenda. not what the american people want. >> sean: with the stroke of a pen,an executive fiat. we've got, let's see, back in the paris climate agreement where, oh, china is a developing nation. we are not. then, of course, we've got, you know, the end of the keystone xl pipeline. the wall building is going to stop. entire industries wiped out with that stroke of a pen, senator. entire industries. i interviewed a guy last night, more detail in radio today, he's got three kids, they are making over 100 grand a year. where is he going to replace that yard with 11 million plus americans getting amnesty during the middle of a pandemic? how was he going

they're supposed to come back the day before president-elect biden is getting sworn in. and so, there's really no one here to do the impeaching. >> o'donnell: all right, nancy cordes, thank you. tonight president trump released a video message on healing the nation after the assault on the capitol. this comes as his inner circle is shrinking, with more resignations, including his transportation secretary. he only had one event today, privately awarding the medal of honor to three golfers. weijia jiang is at the white house. >> reporter: cbs news has learned that president trump has become isolated from key white house advisors, including vice president mike pence, who has not spoken to since wednesday morning before the assault on the capital. late tonight the president finally condemned the violence, more than 24 hours after it unfolded. responding to mounting calls to condemn the violence at the capitol, president trump releaseded a recorded video thursday night. >> to o those who o engagaged ie actsts of violenence and destructioion, you do o not rerepresent ouour cou

at one point, joe biden forgot his line and thought he was there to promote equality. the new president caught his mistake very quickly. >> i believe this nation and this country need to change their whole approach to the issue of racial equity and that means we need to make the issue of racial equity not just an issue for any one department of government, it has to be the business of the whole of government, advancing equity has to be everyone's job. >> tucker: so you spent your life using the word equality as americans have her 250 years, takes a while to figure out now we are talking about equity in the concepts have nothing to do with each other. in fact, they are opposite. equity means dividing people according to categories they cannot control, once they were born with and according to joe biden, we need a whole lot more of that. why? because in may, a guy called george floyd died. >> those 8 minutes and 46 seconds that took george floyd's life open the eyes of millions of americans and millions of people all over the world. it was the knee on the neck of justice

biden is coming here to try to make that happen later today. donald trump is coming down to try to play defense to maybe leave a republican-controlled senate after his time in office. so maybe some of his key achievements are tougher to undo. we don't expect to see david perdue show up at the trump rally. his schedule remains virtual because he is quarantining in the few hours left after close contact with a covid-19-infected staffer. it has been kelly loeffler out there by herself. >> look, he would be a rubber stamp for chuck schumer. chuck schumer has been very clear. he wants to abolish the electoral college, add d.c. as a state. adding two democrat senators. making it impossible to have a republican majority in the senate again. >> we have a live picture of jon ossoff in augusta. they've been trying to get georgian's -- sending volunteers out to voters socially distanced outside homes and tomorrow we'll find out how successful those efforts have been. later on today, though, we expect to see president trump north of atlanta in dalton where

the announcement we'll be getting today, biden will be joined by what some biden advisers are calling his justice league. his choice to lead the justice department, merrick garland along with lisa monaco, his number two there and other officials. and this is an intentionally timed event. a lot of speculation about whether his decision about ag was held because they wanted to see the results of wanted to se of georgia. i'm told this was very deliberately times. you look at georgia, you look at the counting of the electoral votes, and biden cares, they see them all as important. he is a former committee chairman and he had oversight of this department for so many years in the senate. he feels the ambitithe biggest was to the rule of law. it is part of an effort to rebuild that trust. and to send a very clear signal about the way he will be viewing this department, not the president's lawyer as he put in the past. >> also for deputy ag, someone who certainly knows homeland security, who worked so closely in the obama white house. and had a very good reputation for domestic security and f

biden is pushing to increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour. he's trying to find republican support for the huge price tag, but that did not stop the president-elect from calling some of them out. >> shocking to see members of the congress while the capitol was under siege by a deadly mob of thugs refusing to wear masks while in secure locations. what the hell's the matter with them? it's time to grow up. >> reporter: president-elect joe biden's chief of staff said he and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell are in frequent contact through straightforward and polite conversations. looking ahead to inauguration, mr. biden said he feels safe attending on wednesday based on the intelligence he's received so far. dana? >> all right. thank you. >>> vice president mike pence who observers say has assumed several key presidential duties in recent days has one more achievement to his credit. pence phoned incoming vice president-elect kamala harris on thursday and wished her congratulations. >> it is the first known contact between the elected members
