after more than 40 witnesses and 40 days of bombshell testimony, new york attorney general letitia james -- against former president donald trump, and his namesake company, has now entered into his final stage. on wednesday, testimony came to a close with a.g. james's office colin its final rebuttal witness, who happens to be an accounting professor, and then resting its case. the trial is now set to take a month long break, with judge arthur engoron expected to announce findings after -- january 11th. then, the fate of trump's real estate empire will rest entirely in the hands of the judge. remember, there is no jury, meaning as judge engoron, and judge engoron alone, who will determine the future of the disgraced ex president. even with a month off in the
9:02 pm
new york civil case, this is hardly a holiday break. trump's team has stayed very, very busy. on friday, the fmer president's lawyers to -- against him. that request came just 24 hours after an appeals court and -- which bars trump from commenting about the judges staff publicly. you may remember, the initial gag order came just days into the trial, where trump posted a disparaging message about the -- failed site, truth social. on october 3rd, the ex president shared a screenshot of a post from another user known as judicial protest. that falsely labeled the law erk of the girlfriend of -- this week, the messengers adam klasfeld published a deep dive into that man behind the account. brock frederik.
9:03 pm
klasfeld exposed frederick's prolific history of -- women and -- echoes his attacks on judge engoron's law clerk. the 40-year-old wisconsin resident has been hit with several restraining orde, all of which bar him from ntacting three separate women. he has also been criminally convicted multiple times for violating two of those orders. and he is currently under criminal investigation for more suspected restraining orders violations and possible stop. now, it seems for hidden fields validated by trump's recent detention. in a brief asking the court in miesota in -- fred wrote, petitioner wanted to emphasize that these sentiments have already received endorsement from president trump, who expressed support for them, end quote.
9:04 pm
now, some of you may be wondering why we would even give attention to someone like -- who has shown himself to be a verified creep. listen, i get it. but stay with me for a moment. i'm going to touch on an idea here. the cyclical exchange of false information between the former president and his supporters -- we often talk about the impact of trump's words and the individuals who have been influenced by his disinformation and dangerous rhetoric. but there is another side, another side we have to look critically at. see, it's not just the people who listened to trump. it's also the individuals with the disgraced ex president actually listens to. this entire harassment campaign, which has upended the life of a law clerk, and snowballed into more than a month of litigation all started with an unverified post on social media. it is a dangerous cycle that
9:05 pm
forecast a dangerous and chilling reality of what another trump term could look like, a future where facts do not matter, and where lies could cost someone their safety. here to discuss this with me is a micha, democratic strategist and former obama campaign advisor, carole lamb lam -- and moody, host of the -- i can't say that on tv -- carroll, i want to start with you. testimony wrapped after two months of fireworks in and the courtroom. what do you think we can expect next month after january 11th, when both sides are expecting closing arguments? what do you expect to hear him what to expect to be the eventual outcome? >> as you know, charles, closing arguments are very important. they're the right of the party
9:06 pm
to sum everything up -- which, as you pointed out is just judge arthur engoron. there is no jury in this particular civil trial. with the two sides are going to be working on very hard over the holiday is putting together those closing arguments which really -- you have trials, and you are presenting evidence every day. it takes on a piece of your own, and it's hard to see the forest for the trees. what they will be doing is -- and making their arguments now supported by the evidence they think is relevant from the trial. so, what we can expect to see is probably a few days of the closing argument. one of the defenses that donald trump has put but again and again, even though misrepresentation and missed statements were made in order to get loans, he put some of those bankers to say it didn't make any difference to us. we checked out and did our own due diligence on some of those
9:07 pm
valuations. but what we would expect letitia james's to argue that there were some facts that he overstated the square footage of his penthouse by three times. those are not differences of opinions about facts, or evaluation. those are the kinds of arguments that we could see, and then the judge will render his verdict. >> carol, one of the things that i hate that people leave out of your bio, you are actually a former judge, i want to put that, your judge had on, and i want to ask you, realistically speaking, given that judge arthur engoron has already made a ruling with respect to the fraud issue in the case, what's the best that
9:08 pm
donald trump's defense team can hope to get out of this as it released the damages that everyone is going to decide. >> i'm not sure donald trump is going to get very much out of judge arthur engoron. -- with respect to the solution that judge arthur engoron has already tried to impose, a disillusion of some of these trump-limited liability. corporation's these are intricate issues have new york corporations law. that was a pretty broad ruling, and somewhat unprecedented that is going to have to be vetted up on appeal. it does appear the judge takes a pretty dim view of the actions. the trump organization and trump, and his family, with respect to some of these representations that were made. the thing about not having --
9:09 pm
to the victims, but the law is actually that once you've made the misrepresentations. if you made them intentionally then that in itself is a completed fraud. so, that defense that didn't matter to so much of the victims is not going to get as much sympathy from the judge, as it might from the jury. >> important distinction, in terms of deciding and making the distinction, between a victimless crime and -- in a simple context. a michelle, i want to turn to you. let's talk about political fallout here. this is only a civil trial. but a bad break could do damage reputationally to the notion of donald trump and -- what do you see as the ultimate cost politically, if this does not go well for him, and goes further or worse than it already is?
9:10 pm
>> a huge ego -- we all know that for donald trump, building his empire, that is what he is known for. that is his name brand. that is what he used in many ways to coach through to the white house. i think this is going to be extremely damaging should he be found liable, should he be found -- at this point. i think the frustration donald trump has, is, i believe, probably more important than other things, that he is facing trials, because it rests upon the very idea of donald trump, being the name, the brand, and everything he builds and he's gone out of his way without -- he is someone who -- in the 90s and a whole bunch of laps aung's was someone who was known for the billions he had created, and that's personal. that is something he believes in very strongly and -- it will impact his ego and campaign. i think that in many cases at
9:11 pm
this point, many of those view him as a king of his own victim. it will hurt him on the campaign trail because it will demonstrably show that not only is he a complete liar but also the things that he has talked about in the past 30 or 40 years it's -- >> i want to follow up danielle, because -- the fact that this will hurt him on the campaign trail, we are looking at a monthlong -- in this case but donald trump is still fighting the gag order here. is that part of his strategy in terms of i need to get control of this narrative and get my followers and my base the talking points necessary to -- because he knows the fallout here could be costly, or is there something else that is driving his? fight even as the cases on pause? >> the reality is that donald trump does not have a narrative. right? his followers don't care. at the end of the day, what
9:12 pm
they care about is being able to -- and the -- and -- a 70% if that didn't vote for donald trump, that -- haven't fell for the rope a dope. right now, it's not about, we'll, if he says -- maybe some people will open their ears and maybe some people will come out of the -- soon. that's not. it's about everyone else who has become exhausted and riddled with anxiety about the possibility of a trump true point oh. so it doesn't matter what it is a donald trump says, what lies his lawyers put out, it is about 70%, and those people feeling like there is not a possibility at the end of the road. there is not a light for them to look towards. these are the choices they have for 2024 and it does not feel good for them. so it's not about whether or not donald trump could find a
9:13 pm
new narrative, it is about exciting and engaging -- our democracy. >> a michelle, i want to end with. you we have this person, and his social media calendar, all of this started with respect to re-post by donald trump. he's now calling an endorsement. what is the message in terms of the level of misinformation and how quickly it gets out there and how do you strategize against that if you are on the other side? if you are concerned about what this could do on the campaign trail? how do you guard against that? >> it is extremely tough, especially in the social media era. donald trump has been able to utilize it in a way that we've not seen before. not only in terms of spreading misinformation for his base but also to recruit people to his cause. i think that in this case, what we are seeing is him, again, amplifying someone who agrees with a lot of what he is trying
9:14 pm
to do. and in the dark corners of the inter web, this has gone by and people are eating it up. what democrats have to do is face the music. we have to understand, we have to continue to push against disinformation, they have to name it plainly, point out exactly why this is a problem, but also face it with facts, and show trump who he really is. and i agree with what he said a little while ago, to his base, none of this matters. nothing that we say is going to make a difference. but to those younger voters, to black voters, to the democratic base, -- panel, there's so much more we've got to dig into. so, please stick around. we have a lot to discuss and -- first up, after the break, i will speak with democratic congresswoman chantal brown shontel brown of ohio, who
9:15 pm
helped us fact-check -- before we can do that, jessica layton is here with today's headlines. hello, jessica, how are you? >> hello, charles. good to see you. thank you. stories we are watching this hour, a major storm is bringing torrential rain to an east coast. 7 million people are under a severe weather threat in florida right now, that storm is expected to intensify and move up the coast throughout sunday. u. s. central command says american navy ship shot down 14 drones in the yemeni houthis in the red sea. no injuries are reported by the incident is part of a series that naval skirmishes to hit the region in recent weeks. the notre-dame cathedral took a big step towards reopening when a new golden rooster was placed on top of the building earlier today. the statue is a replica of the original that fell after a 2019 fire that destroyed the cathedrals fire. officials expect the renovation to finish within the next 12 months. i'm jessica layton, more "ayman" with charles coleman
9:18 pm
9:19 pm
but it's gonna be so worth it. i love that i can give back to one of our customers. i hope you enjoy these amazing gifts. oh my goodness. oh, you guys. i know you like wrestling, so we got you some vip tickets. you have made an impact. so have you. for you guys to be out here doing something like this, >> welcome back. it restores a lot of faith in humanity.
9:20 pm
you are watching ayman on msnbc and i'm charles coleman junior, in tonight for ayman. . house republicans passed a resolution formalizing the impeachment inquiry into president joe biden, despite the fact that nearly every one of their claims about the president has either not been substantiated with evidence, or has already been outright debunked. one example, oversight committee chair, james coleman, comer has repeatedly tried to connect the president with his son, hunter biden's business dealings. but his investigation has uncovered no testimony, no statement from a transcribed interview, no email, no whatsapp message, no carrier pigeon, no evidence of any kind, whatsoever that has established this as fact. in fact, multiple witnesses have repeatedly undercut this allegation here clearly stating that president joe biden was not involved in and did not
9:21 pm
profit from his family members business ventures. so comer and company have resorted to a backup lie, that the biden white house is stonewalling them. now, in reality, the white house has engaged in the constitutional process of accommodation between the legislative and executive branches. administration officials have literally bent over backwards to accommodate republican requests and subpoenas. the national archives has already publicly released a nearly 1800 amount of emails related to hunter biden. and they handed it over, i want to say this very clearly, 62, 000 additional pages of records to james comer's committee. it's hard to say why republicans are doubling down on lies, instead of tackling the major issues facing the country right now. those being from a looming government shutdown to foreign aid negotiations, and
9:22 pm
everything else in between. now, it could be because republicans have never seen a wild goose that they didn't want to chase. joining me now is democratic congresswoman shontel brown of ohio. she's a member of the house oversight committee. congressman brown, it is good to see you. thank you for being here tonight. just talk to me. republicans formalize this impeachment inquiry this week, and what is your reaction to it? >> before i get into that, i have to wish my cousin steven and early birthday. well to the question at hand. these republicans are truly the party of no. we are talking about no evidence, no integrity, no shame. they just have no solutions and no agenda. this is just another example. another demonstration that their priorities are all wrong. people in ohio's 11th congressional district are concerned about how they are going to pay their bills getting back to work and
9:23 pm
operating businesses. what republicans are continuing to do is exactly what you said. this tracks with them and this is exactly on brand. they doubled down. if at first you don't succeed, try 14 times like, they did with the speaker and if that doesn't work, try another. this is just going to be what we can expect during this 118th congress. when they have a chance to do the right thing, they do the right wing thing. and it is very frustrating that this is the order of the day. >> a lot of things that you said that i'm going to have to borrow, and do the right wing thing, with that theme it seems like there is a party of no shame. james comer is continuing to peddle this talking point that joe biden is involved with and profited from hunter biden's business dealings. but he hasn't come forward with any kind of evidence to substantiate that. is there any concern, do you think that republicans have about looking bad if it ends up being, and i will quote,
9:24 pm
previous trump investigation, a nothing burger? >> this is nothing. in the words of sheila jackson lee, she called it hogwash. it is absolutely ridiculous. president biden has been found, there has been zero evidence to find anything that he has done wrong. they continue to pursue his son, hunter biden, trying to use him as a scapegoat to tarnish the good work that president biden has continued to do to try to improve the quality of life for this country. democrats have been working hard to lower costs and increase jobs and promote peace across the world. yet the republicans, all they want to do is cause chaos and confusion. it is a very frustrating situation to be on this committee to watch them, again, just try to manufacture evidence. as my colleague did during the last impeachment inquiry. this is what they do. they are the party of lies.
9:25 pm
as leader hakeem jeffries, future speaker of the house likes to say, shamelessness has been their superpower. they have zero shame in what they do. they do not care about telling lies. they do it unapologetically and very consistently. >> congresswoman brown, understand there's been a lot of finger-pointing at the republican party. so i want to ask you, given that your colleagues are doing everything they can to avoid legislating, what are democrats doing strategically. what is the plan to actually get things done? the american people can't wait until another election before they get actual legislation passed. you just mentioned minority leader hakeem jeffries right here from our home state of new york, what is the plan to actually move things along in the interim? >> what we are going to continue to do is always look for bipartisan ways to move forward. it was because of democrats and we avoid the government shutdown twice. not once, but twice.
9:26 pm
because we left it into the hands of the gop the government would've shut down. we are going to continue to deliver results. things like capping prices for insulin at $35 a month. currently, the top ten drugs are being negotiated so that people will start to fill those resources with money coming back into their wallets. we will continue to see the gas prices going down. inflation is going down. we are going to be creating millions of jobs. if you look at the jobs report it has been successful. better than expected in most instances. so opportunities are happening and now we just have to capitalize on them. i like to steal an analogy from my sweetheart, antjuan see right seawright -- where we are repairing, roads repairing bridges, making sure people have high-speed internet, making sure people have jobs that they can go to that don't require a four year degree but
9:27 pm
we'll put money into their pocket. so i'm very confident as we continue to see the results of what we are able to deliver in the 117th congress, the people will actually start to recognize that democrats are the ones that have been delivering for them while the republicans continue to play politics. democrats will continue to put people over politics and make sure that we are improving the quality of their lives. >> congresswoman brown of ohio, thank you for being here tonight. >> thank you for having me, happy holidays. >> you too. donald trump doubles down on his desire to be a dictator. we will have that and more as "ayman" continues right here on msnbc after a quick break. so, stay tuned. so, no matter what, i'm running this kitchen. (vo) make the switch. it's your business. it's your verizon.
9:31 pm
my most important kitchen tool? my brain. so i choose new neuriva ultra. unlike some others, it supports 7 brain health indicators, including mental alertness from one serving. to help keep me sharp. try new neuriva ultra. think bigger. teeth sensitivity is so common. it immediately feels like somebody's poking directly on the nerve. i recommend sensodyne. sensodyne toothpaste goes inside the tooth and calms the nerve down. and my patients say you know doc, it really works. >> donald trump supporters appear largely unfazed by his desire to be a dictator on the
9:32 pm
first day of his presidency should he win the election next year. some people feel that means he just wants to clean things up, according to the washington post. i don't know why they would think that, but this is the washington post, and i trust the reporting. others are in love with the idea of one woman who could apparently compare comment to her own parenting style, saying quote, how could you be mad? i have a lot of answers to that, but i won't right now. still, there are others who appear even reinvigorated by donald trump's own comments. at the new york young republicans club annual gala last saturday, trump doubled down on his dictator comment and the president gavin wax took the podium and said, quote, since i know the deep state is listening tonight, once president trump is back in office, he, and we will not be playing nice anymore. it will be a time for retribution. now, autocracies scholars and constitutional law experts say that trump's statements showed he has actually thought
9:33 pm
carefully about how to consolidate the levels of power. so much so, that he wouldn't even need to become an actual dictator in order to abuse his power using tools already at his disposal those tools include weaponizi the irs, firing a large number of federal employees, and invoking the insurrection act, punishing his foes in media, and even going to war. it's something that former congresswoman liz cheney emphasized in a wall street journal op-ed just this ek writing quote, those who try to dismiss the risk of a second trump term do our country a grave disservice. my panel is back with me to have more discussions about this. carol, i wanna start with liz cheney's op-ed. she also brings the point that realistically, neither congress nor the courts will be able to hold trump accountable should he regain the presidency. can you talk about what legal avenues exist if this scenario were to occur, and the
9:34 pm
ramifications of the complete abandonment of the rule of law? >> one of the things, charles, but i think folks maybe don't think enough about it's how frail or institutions really are, we are used to talking about the branches of government, we are used to talking about freedom of the press, we are used to talking about checks and balances that exist within our governmental system. but they are so fragile, there are so frail, and we have continue to exist only because of the goodwill and the intention of people to keep those institutions going. and we are starting to see the frame of that. there is perhaps very simple examples, and that is the presidents pardon power, the pardon power has always existed as an act of mercy, and it was always following procedures and have to do with the justice department, and seeing who is
9:35 pm
appropriate for pardon. that definitely changed under former president trump's first administration. he started using that authority, that power in order to not just have acts of mercy, but in order to influence who might testify against him in a future trial, as people started angling for pardons and he started dangling the possibility of a pardon to protect himself in potential cases in the future. so legally, since the president, at least in federal law, federal judges have a role in nominating future federal judges, and if in a second term he decides to take on a lot of the laws that guarantee protections for people in federal agencies, there may not be much protection against a dictator lake government. >> carol just talked about the notion of protection, as well
9:36 pm
as the notion of checks and balances. am i being naive? this is something i've been thinking about a lot. next year, we have every single member of the house that is going to be up for reelection. every seat in the house of representatives that is up for reelection. is it a possible strategy to turn some of the attention to those to ensure whether democrat or republican, we are electing people who have a need to adhere to a respect for the rule of law such that if this comes about, and the power is of used, that these people will be unafraid to rely on the checks and balances that exist, namely impeachment emory movable, or am i just being naive? >> i don't think that you are being naive. i think probably a decade or so that would've been a more valid argument than it is right now because frankly on the right we've not seen that to try to protect our democracy and all of the things that we hold
9:37 pm
sacred under our constitution. the left, we've seen those types of movements, we've not seen that on the right because they are more concerned with adapting whatever donald trump wants to see happen. i would also argue, this is a former president who already showcased his dictatorial tactics and is someone who most recently talked about -- poisoning of the blood, a term that has been used by hitler but also used in the united states. we have a history of white supremacy where they also spoke about that, poisoning the blood, it was the antics they used to prevent message a nation, or race mixing. we have someone who diminished our checks and balances system from the day he stepped into the oval office, and someone who has continued to go around all of these commentaries, and social media, and otherwise around why we do not need certain powers. why we don't need the doj, are we don't need the department of education. he has attacked, time and time again, some of the various systems of governance that protect our nation.
9:38 pm
on top of that he's someone who believes the power should only be invested in one person. the president of the united states, not congress, not our judicial system, him, and him only. he called the press the enemy of the people. nothing about donald trump has changed. and i do believe that our congressional leaders and those who are running and running for reelection should actually care more about protecting the very foundations of our nation that we are actually seeing. >> you guys are making my job very easy tonight, i appreciated, because each of your comments go into another conversation i want to have. danielle, i want to pick up on the theme of what amisha was just talking about. someone shows you who they are, and tells you who they are, believe them. donald trump has telegraphed everything about who he is and what he's going to do and then he has followed up, and he's done it. we've seen it over and over again with dobbs, we've seen it and so many other instances, what does it take, and what will it take, what is going to be the thing that makes the american electorate understand
9:39 pm
that this man is who he says he is? >> a conscious media that decides to not use donald trump as entertainment. and for ratings. the reality is that in 2016 we thought that donald trump was entertainment. isn't this funny, isn't this interesting? this is something out of the norm. in 2020 we started to get a bit more serious, and then in 2024, there are no more jokes, no more punch lines to be pulled. anything that donald trump said that he would do in 2016 when he came down that escalator, he did what he swore his hand on the bible, and then became the president of the united states. when he told people that there were good people on both sides, when they were talking about replacing jewish people, when they were walking down the streets in charlottesville with tiki torches. he said to us to tell those people to stand back and stand by, what he was asked to denounce white supremacy he said stand back and stand by, and they did until january 6th.
9:40 pm
the reality here is that everything that donald trump says that he wants to do, everything that people laugh off, he has done, and will do. so when he says he's going to be a dictator on day one, he will do it. and you know why? because the heritage foundation, the right wing foundation that is backed by billionaires has billions of dollars behind putting in place exactly what he needs on day one. in the first 100 days of a trump presidency, they are ready to go. so we need, as the american people, to be ready to go on election day. >> but danielle, i want to follow up with you really quickly. do you think the fact that donald trump actually makes good on his promises, as absurd and insane as they are, is part of his appeal to, for example, independents who are distrustful of the system and say, well, at least that is the double i know? >> well, charles, why are they distrustful of the system? because donald trump put the seeds in place to make them distrustful of the system.
9:41 pm
the systems only holding right now by a thread because of these people that have been inside, that have been the current rails. but the reality is, why are people filled with anxiety, where they were, worried, why are they distrustful? because it's all of the things that donald trump told them about these agencies. the fbi, we can trust them, the cia, we can't trust them, the department of justice, we can't trust them. that is what donald trump has done. do i think he is appealing to independents? absolutely not. but the 30% that he has, he has them on lock. it is a 70%, we need to be concerned about. >> amisha, carol, and danielle, three brilliant minds who have helped me cover a lot of ground tonight. thank you to you all. just ahead, we will shift gears to the war in gaza. and a potential change in the stance for president biden. you are watching "ayman" on msnbc, and we will be right back. gh back

forbidden to shoot out those who raise a white flag and seek to surrender. it comes as condemnation from the international community to israel's offensive in gaza. the biden administration this week also began to change its language, taking a tougher stance on its longtime ally. in an off camera campaign reception in washington on tuesday, president biden said, prime minister benjamin netanyahu's approach, quote, has to change. he added that is realistic thing to lose support around the world due to, quote, the indiscriminate bombing that takes place. while it is not yet clear if these comments will make a shift in biden's approach to the war moving forward, his remarks occurred at the united nations general assembly voting overwhelmingly in support of a humanitarian cease-fire in gaza, with just ten countries voting against it, including the united states and israel. just days before, the u.s. vetoed a different united now states resolution calling for a cease-fire, and that resolution
