MEGAN AND LET'S STICK WITH
POLITICS AND I WANT TO BRING IN
LISA HAGEN FROM US NEWS AND
WORLD REPORT LISA GREAT TO SEE
YOU
AS ALWAYS I WANT TO TALK FIRST
ABOUT SOME OF THE RECOUNTS.
THE LAWSUITS IN PLACE RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE WE SAW WISCONSIN ONCE
AGAIN CONFIRM JOE BIDEN AS THE
WINNER IN
THAT STATE. I THINK HE ACTUALLY
GAINED MORE VOTES ACTUALLY
AFTER THE RECOUNT AND WE SIGNED
PENNSYLVANIA HIGH COURT.
REJECTED A REPUBLICAN LAWSUIT
CHALLENGING THE ELECTION.
THIS OF COURSE COMING FROM
TRUMP APPOINTED JUDGES. I DO
THINK THIS CONTEST IS GOING TO
CONTINUE MUCH LONGER HOW MUCH
MORE WIGGLE ROOM DOES PRESIDENT
TRUMP HAVE TO KEEP THESE
LAWSUITS GOING HERE.
>> RIGHT WELL IT SEEMS LIKE
HE'S GOING TO KEEP THE LAWSUITS
UP, I MEAN AS
YOU SAID AND THEY ADD FINISH
THE PARTIAL RECOUNT IN
WISCONSIN BIDEN GOT A NET GAIN
OF 87 MORE VOTES OBVIOUSLY.
EVEN IF
TRUMP AND GAIN SOME VOTES IT
WOULD PROBABLY BE SO NOMINAL
NOMINAL THAT IT WOULD FLIP THE
RESULTS AT ALL AND SO I THINK
WISCONSIN IS SUPPOSED TO WORK
ON CERTIFICATION TODAY
AND THEN THAT WOULD ALLOW THE
PRESIDENT TO HAVE ANOTHER
LAWSUIT IN WISCONSIN AND SO
WE'RE SEEING COURTS AROUND THE
COUNTRY IN THESE BATTLEGROUND
STATES KIND OF SHUT DOWN THESE
COURT
CHALLENGES BUT THE PRESIDENT
THAT SEEM TO BE LETTING UP AT
THIS POINT.
>> YEAH EXACTLY YEAH THIS COULD
GO ON FOR SO MUCH LONGER EVEN
THOUGH THE PRESIDENT CONTINUES
TO SAY
THERE'S EVIDENCE THAT THEY'RE
GOING TO BE SHOWING ANY THEY
NOW WHEN IT COMES
TO THIS BUT HE REVEALED IN AN
INTERVIEW OVER THE WEEKEND THAT
WAS REALLY INTERESTING ABOUT
BRIAN KEMP, THE THE GEORGIA
GOVERNOR'S
ACTUALLY SAYING HE ALMOST
REGRET IT, YOU KNOW ENDORSING
BRIAN KEMP DO YOU THINK
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S LAWSUIT WILL
HAVE ANY RAMIFICATIONS TO THE
GEORGIA RIGHT OFTEN THAT MIGHT
DETER REPUBLICAN VOTERS FROM
GOING OUT AND VOTING.
>> IT VERY WELL COULD I HAVE
SPOKEN TO PEOPLE IN GEORGIA AND
ASKED THAT
SAME QUESTION BECAUSE WE SAW AT
LEAST IN ONE OF THE RACES THE
SPECIAL ELECTION WHICH NOW
AMOUNT TO A RUNOFF WITH KELLY
LEFT WERE THE APPOINTED SENATOR
AND THEN DEMOCRAT RAPHAEL WE
SAW A REALLY
REALLY PRIMARY BETWEEN KELLY
LEFFLER AND FELLOW REPUBLICAN
DOUG COLLINS
AND SO THEY ARE TRYING TO HEAL
THE WOUNDS IS KELLY LEFT WAS
ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE RUNOFF
AND NOW YOU'RE HAVING THIS
DINNER PARTY
FIGHT WITH PEOPLE ALL UP AND
YOU KNOW THE GOVERNMENT IN
GEORGIA AND THERE AND THEY'RE
ALL REPUBLICANS AND SO
YOU SEE IN TRUMP PUBLICLY FEUD
WITH THE GOVERNOR AS YOU SAID
BRIAN CAMPBELL WITH US
SECRETARY OF STATE WHO IS ALSO
ELECT A REPUBLICAN. AND SO
YOU KNOW AS THE PRESIDENT AND
SOME REPUBLICAN ALLIES CONTINUE
TO US, YOU KNOW FALSE CLAIMS
ABOUT FRAUD YOU HAVE TO
WONDER IF VOTERS WHO ARE
WORRIED ABOUT THIS AND WHO
GENUINELY BELIEVE THE PRESIDENT
WILL MAYBE EVEN SHOW UP AND
WANT TO VOTE IN THIS RUNOFF
THAT THEY THINK IT'S JUST
RIDDLED
WITH FRAUD.
>> AT LEAST I WANT TO SWITCH
GEARS AND TALK ABOUT WHAT'S
HAPPENING ON CONGRESS OBVIOUSLY
CONGRESS IS GETTING BACK
TOGETHER. THERE'S 11 DAYS.
WE FORGET, THERE'S 11 DAYS TO
GET A SPENDING BILL TOGETHER
AND THERE'S POTENTIAL MAYBE
THEY MIGHT GET IT CORONAVIRUS
STIMULUS BILL THROWN INTO ALL
OF THAT. WHAT IS THE LIKELIHOOD
THAT WE GET THAT DONE IN THE
NEXT 11 DAYS AND WHAT WILL THAT
BILL EVEN LOOK LIKE GIVEN THE
FACT THAT MITCH MCCONNELL AND
NANCY PELOSI ARE COMPLETELY ON
OPPOSITE PAGES HERE.
>> RE IT KIND OF FEELS EXACTLY
WHERE WE'VE BEEN THIS WHOLE
TIME THE PAST FEW MONTHS IS
THAT BOTH SIDES YOU KNOW SAY
THEY WANT TO NEGOTIATE IN GOOD
FAITH AND THEY WANT
TO THINK OUT A PACKAGE TO HELP
AMERICANS ESPECIALLY WITH
EXPIRING BENEFITS COMING UP AT
THE END OF
THE YEAR. BUT THEY'RE GOING TO
HAVE A VERY LIMITED TIMELINE
AS YOU SAY I MEAN TO HAVE TO
GET THE GOVERNMENT FUNDED BY
DECEMBER 11TH THAT IS OBVIOUSLY
THEIR
BIGGEST PRIORITY. THEY'VE
REACHED A SORT OF DEAL IN
PRINCIPLE ABOUT TOP LINE
NUMBERS, BUT IT'S UNCLEAR IF
THEY CAN PASS A REALLY LARGE
SPENDING PACKAGE OR THEY'RE
JUST GOING TO THAT STOPGAP
MEASURE AGAIN WHICH ENDED IN
SEPTEMBER WHICH IS JUST TO
CONTINUE TO FUND THE GOVERNMENT
AT THE SAME LEVELS AND KICK THE
CAN DOWN THE ROAD A FEW MONTHS
INTO POTENTIALLY THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION BUT THERE ARE AS
YOU SAY THEY'RE WORKING ON
MAYBE A 2 WEEK TIMELINE RIGHT
NOW THE HOUSE AND COME BACK
INTO SESSION UNTIL WEDNESDAY.
THEY ARE GOING TO WILL STAY
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SO
POTENTIALLY IF NEGOTIATIONS.
YOU KNOW START UP AGAIN
AND THEY REALLY GET SOME GOOD
MOMENTUM. THEY'RE GOING TO KEEP
LAWMAKERS IN DC BUT IT THEY'RE
JUST WORKING AT SUCH A SMALL
TIMETABLE IT JUST AT THIS POINT
IT SEEMS PRETTY UNLIKELY.
>> YEAH OK SO I'M GLAD YOU
MENTIONED THAT BECAUSE WE KNOW
PRESIDENT TRUMP NOT PLAYING A
ROLE WHATSOEVER IN THE
NEGOTIATIONS FOR ALL THIS
OBVIOUSLY PRESIDENT TRUMP MUCH
MORE CONSUMED WITH
THE ELECTION IS THERE A CHANCE
LEE SAID THAT WE MIGHT
HAVE THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN IN
11 DAYS. I MEAN WE WENT THROUGH
THIS BEFORE WITH PRESIDENT
TRUMP WHERE IT WAS THE LONGEST
SHUTDOWN WE'VE HAD IN AMERICAN
HISTORY OR ONE OF THEM IS THERE
A CHANCE WE SEE IT AGAIN IN 11
DAYS.
>> AND I WOULD HOPE NOT FOR THE
SAKE OF EVERYONE
>> YOU KNOW THERE'S ALWAYS THAT
POSSIBILITY THERE REALLY
THEY'RE TRYING TO NEGOTIATE,
YOU KNOW MULTIPLE SPENDING
BILLS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
OBVIOUSLY CONTENTIOUS.
DIFFERENCES ON THIS AND YOU
KNOW THERE'S TALK OF TRYING TO
INSERT US AID MEASURES INTO
THAT ESPECIALLY IF THEY DON'T
GET A LARGE. COVID-19 RELIEF
PACKAGE AND
YOU KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF KIND
OF THE FINE FOR ANY DETAILS
THAT THEY HAVE TO WORK OUT
AGAIN BY DECEMBER 11 IS BETTER.
PRETTY SURE LESS THAN
2 WEEKS RIGHT BUT YEAH I MEAN
THE END OF THE DAY THE
PRESIDENT PRESIDENT DONALD
TRUMP ASKED TO SIGN THIS AND HE
IS KIND
OF GIVEN REALLY LITTLE
INDICATION OF WHERE HE EVEN IS
ON THIS EVEN THOUGH HE SAID
AFTER THE ELECTION
YOU KNOW THEY WOULD THEY KOBE
REALLY THEY WOULD DO ALL THESE
THINGS YOU KNOW IT'S THERE'S NO
INDICATION EXACTLY IF THE
PRESIDENT WILL EVEN SIGN A
GOVERNMENT FUNDING BILL IF IT
INCLUDED ANYTHING THAT WAS
UNPALATABLE TO HAVE.
>> ALL RIGHT LISA OBVIOUSLY
WE'D OTHERS GEORGIA RUNOFFS
IMPORTANT FOR JOE BIDEN TO GET
ANY MEMBER OF HIS CABINET
APPROVED. I'M MEGAN PRATZ JUST
A FEW MOMENTS AGO BROUGHT UP A
REALLY INTERESTING POINT ABOUT
NEERA TANDEN OBVIOUSLY THOSE OF
US WHO KNOW WASHINGTON KNOW HER
VERY WELL BEING PART OF THE
CENTER FOR AMERICAN PROGRESS
WORKING FOR
HILLARY CLINTON. SHE SEEMS LIKE
SHE PROBABLY OUT OF ALL THE
CABINET CHOICES SO FAR MIGHT
HAVE THE TOUGHEST HURDLE TO
GETTING CONFIRMED. ONE OF THE
LIKELIHOOD, WHAT IS THE
LIKELIHOOD THAT THIS IS GOING
TO BE THE BIGGEST FIGHT IN
TERMS OF THE CABINET APPOINTEES
FOR JOE BIDEN TO GET CONFIRMED
HERE.
>> THANK YOU WE SEE A
REPUBLICAN SENATE IF
REPUBLICANS AT LEAST WHEN
ONE OF THE RUNOFF IN GEORGIA
THAT THE THING DEMOCRATS INTO
IN BOTH FRONT OFFICE WHICH IS
OBVIOUSLY A VERY
DIFFICULT FEAT AND SOMETHING
THAT HISTORICALLY LEANS TOWARD
REPUBLICANS IN GEORGIA
REPUBLICAN JUST NEED TO WIN ONE
OF THE SEATS. I DON'T KNOW HOW
LIKELY IT IS THAT IT'S YOU KNOW
THERE BE A SPLIT TICKET VOTERS
FOR BOTH GEORGIA RUNOFFS SO
REPUBLICANS YOU KNOW HAVE A
GOOD SHOT AND MAINTAINING THE
SENATE MAJORITY ALBEIT A NARROW
ONE BUT NOMINATION LAKE OR YOU
KNOW POTENTIAL NOMINATION LAKE
NEAR IT
HAND AND HAS ALREADY CAUSED
FRICTION AT LEAST WITHIN
REPUBLICANS SEEING SOME ON THE
LEFT
TOO BUT MORE SO FROM A
REPUBLICAN PERSPECTIVE YOU'RE
ALREADY SEEING. THE
SPOKESPERSON FOR SENATOR JOHN
CORNYN A TOP REPUBLICAN
CONGRESS IMMEDIATELY SHOOT DOWN
THE POSSIBILITY THAT NEERA
TANDEN CAN GET THROUGH
AND SO YOU KNOW WE'RE SEEING
PEOPLE TALK ABOUT HOW SHE'S
BEEN CRITICAL OF
REPUBLICAN SENATORS ONE THAT
SHE WILL NEED TO CUT THROUGH
ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS A
REPUBLICAN SENATE MAJORITY AND
SO THERE THIS
ONE SEEMS TO WE THERE'S ALWAYS
