despite sex assault allegations, and is now working the phones for his attorney general pick, matt gaetz. despite allegations against him. also tonight, sources say president biden is giving ukraine the go ahead to fire american missiles into russia. what impact that may have on the battlefield and on the threat of a larger war? and later royal revelations a robbery on the grounds of windsor castle and what the thieves got away with? >> good evening. thanks for joining us. the breaking news tonight is that the president elect has chosen another fox news figure for his cabinet. former former congressman sean duffy, to be secretary of transportation. we begin, though, with perhaps the two most consequential and controversial nominees of fox news host who paid a sexual assault accuser to keep quiet about her allegations, and a former florida congressman and alleged sex trafficker. president-elect trump seems determined to have them both in his cabinet. pete hegseth his defense secretary, matt gaetz his attorney general. there's new reporting tonight that the president elect has been calling senators lobbying them directly for their support, telling allies how determined he is to get gaetz confirmed over the weekend. a number of

republican senators who could block the nominees instead signaled their acquiescence or outright support you have to have people you trust to go into these agencies and have a real reform agenda, and that's why i think there's real momentum, real momentum to get these these nominations confirmed. we've got the numbers. let's step up to the plate, do our job because we have to get this country back going in the right direction. >> so the expressions of support are not coming from nowhere. in addition to the president elect's private lobbying, his eldest son is also pushing publicly the swamp doesn't want that. so we're going to go all in and make sure that those people have the best chance at getting confirmed as possible, because they're the people who are most affected. >> the question is most effective for what? early this morning, the president elect confirmed a social media to social media post and reports that on taking office, he would declare a national emergency and use military assets to deport undocumented migrants. his reply, which you see there on the screen true. presumably those orders would go through

pete hegseth even though he paid a woman who accused him of sexually assaulting her in 2017 as part of a settlement which included a confidentiality clause. now that's according to his own attorney who also, by the way, called the payment extortion. pete hegseth denies the allegations and was neither charged with a crime nor named as a defendant in any civil suit. that said nominations, especially for national security positions, have been withdrawn over far less. but the president elect is standing by him. he's said to be, quote, all in for matt gaetz, who resigned from the house just days ahead of an ethics committee report on those allegations. according to the committee itself concerning, quote, sexual misconduct and illicit drug use. here's how one republican senator put it last year he was accused of sleeping with an underage girl and there's a reason why no one in the conference came and defended him, because we had all seen the videos he was showing on the house floor that all of us had walked away of the girls that he had slept with. he bragged about how he would crush ed medicine and

chase it with with an energy drink. so he that's oklahoma senator markwayne mullin, who more recently said quote, i completely trust president trump's decision making on this one. here's what the attorney for two women who spoke to the house ethics committee says one of his clients said on cnn tonight she was invited to a party in july of 2017. she testified to the house that as she was walking out to the pool area, she turned to her right and she witnessed her client, i'm sorry, her friend having sex with representative gaetz and her friend at that time was 17. so she testified to the house that representative gaetz did not know her friend's age at the time. they had sexual intercourse, and when he found out about her age that representative gaetz stopped having sexual intercourse with her, and he only started the sexual intercourse interactions later on when she turned 18. >> so then it continued again. that's correct. >> there were a lot of girls, it sounds like at this party who were in that age range your

clients among them, right but the testimony that my client gave was that she believed representative gaetz did not know her age at the time, that the minor was 17. okay. so, um but it's a party where this sort of thing is happening and just to be clear, your clients. um knew he had paid also your clients for sex. he was paying for sex. >> the testimony before the house was. yes, that representative gaetz paid my client both of my clients for sexual favors throughout the summer of 2017, all the way to the beginning of 2019. >> and how did he how did he pay them? there's a primary through venmo and paypal payments so that some of what the ethics committee apparently heard and presumably included in their report late today, one republican senator told cnn's manu raju he'd like it released i do, but i'm more importantly, i want the judiciary committee to be able to see it prior to the hearings

and then after that, depending on what happens, then, of course, it could be released to the to the other members that are going to at some point have a vote. well, late tonight, the top democrat on the house ethics committee also weighed in we have a scheduled meeting on wednesday and it remains to be seen what the chairman's agenda is for that but i believe we should vote on whether to disclose it or not and we'll see what happens after that. >> everybody on the committee now has the report, so they've got the opportunity to be reviewing it. i believe there will be a unanimous democratic consensus that it should be released. >> well, she only speaks for house speaker mike johnson who's been flying between washington and mar-a-lago for days now, does not want does not want that report to come out, even though, as cnn's jake tapper pointed out, there is precedent for it there's a very important protocol. >> and tradition and rule that we maintain that the house ethics committee's jurisdiction does not extend to non members of congress. i think that would

be a pandora's box. the house ethics committee in the past has released reports of individuals who resigned from congress. congressman bonner, congressman lukens, the house ethics committee after the resignation of mark foley even began an investigation and then released a report. so it's not unprecedented. the speaker does not have the authority to stop the release of a report by the ethics committee. but i've just simply said what i believe is an obvious point that we don't want to go down that road. >> late this evening, he moved the goalposts a bit further, telling cnn's manu raju we are in a different era and saying, quote now we live in the age of the 24 hour news cycle. now we live in the age of social media, the politics and the dynamics are very different. as for allowing the house to sit in recess along with the senate so the new president can bypass the confirmation process entirely. speaker johnson weighed in on that over the weekend we'll evaluate all that at the appropriate time, and we'll make the appropriate decision.

>> there may be a function for that, and we'll have to see how it plays out. >> well starting us off tonight, cnn's kaitlan collins, host of the source at the top of the hour. so, caitlin, is it clear to you just how dug in the president elect is tonight on gaetz and his staff's nominations using his own political power, anderson, to call these republican senators that are going to be making these decisions and try to urge them to support his picks for these positions. >> what we've heard from a lot of them coming out and saying that the president has the right to put who he wants in his cabinet is obviously a signaling that regardless of if this report comes out or if the details itself come out as the congresswoman alluded to there, that they are still going to be supporting him. but it's not really most of the republican senators that the trump team is worried about. it's just a handful of them, because matt gaetz can only afford to to lose about three republican senators before he would not be able to to get confirmed for this position. otherwise jd vance may have to get involved. and breaking the tie or casting his vote. there basically, there's not a lot of room here, and it's not just these

allegations. this is also someone who has gone after a lot of these republican senators who will be voting on whether or not to confirm him as the next attorney general. but the other part of this that i've heard from trump people is that obviously trump just was overwhelmingly reelected or elected back into office. and so that is something that is weighing on these republican senators. do they want to start off this four year term that he's about to have by defying him and going against one of his picks to put in his cabinet? the question is whether or not there are other people waiting in the wings certainly with the pentagon, i've talked to two sources over the weekend after cnn reported and other outlets also reported that pete hegseth had paid a sum of money to the woman who accused him of sexual assault, something that he denies that his attorney says is not true. and was consensual. and what we've heard from them is that they're not bothered by that that they are still standing by pete hegseth and they're not making any kind of alternative plans when it comes to the pentagon. whether or not that holds anderson of course, you

know, we're watching this all day by day here. >> and what's the latest on the treasury secretary nomination? the reports of you know, drama behind the scenes. there >> i mean, this is really actually the one thing that people are talking about a lot behind the scenes, more than those other two picks that we were just talking about. that seems kind of baked in at this point for, for the transition team. it is an open question right now who trump is going to pick to lead treasury. and this is notable because that was a department that during his first term was relatively stable as far as who was leading it. there was a lot of turnover at the department of homeland security, at the justice department, at the pentagon. but treasury had steve mnuchin there all four years during trump's term but he is really struggling tonight to to find someone to to fill that position he's interviewed several candidates his own transition transition co-chair who was bringing him the names howard lutnick also advocated for the job, something that i was told he did so much that it essentially irritated trump, and now it seems unlikely that that he is going to to get that

position. i say unlikely because nothing is final here until it's final but what trump is that person or to land on them. >> and as of 8:00 here tonight, anderson still, last i heard, no decision made by trump on treasury yet. >> all right, caitlin, thanks. we'll see you at the top of the hour for the source joining us now, three republican strategists, ana navarro opinion and erin perrine ana navarro supported kamala harris this time also with us, ashley etienne who served as communications director to the vice president. um and let's start with you. i mean, johnson said he wasn't going to get involved with the the ethics report. do you think he's moving the goalpost? >> look, i think he is going to do everything he can to help donald trump get his nominees through, whether it's trying to impede the release of the ethics report, whether it's agreeing to putting the house in recess so that they can do recess appointments. he's, you know, he's he's he's

complicit in this. he's his position is i'm going to help this president fill out his cabinet with his people whether they get any scrutiny and any vetting, whether there's hearings whether there's votes whether there's ethical issues, whether there's uh, criminal issues doesn't matter. i'm getting them through, joe i think that johnson is saying that he hasn't spoken to the president elect about this. >> um about the gaetz ethics report. i mean, do you buy that? >> look, i think for a multitude of reasons, it's a good chance he probably has not spoken directly to president trump about this issue. look, i'll just simply say this. two things can be true at once. it's very difficult to have an ethical conversation about the contents of an ethics report that has not been released. and then also trying to parse the testimony that we cannot verify. having said that, it seems highly implausible that we're going to be able to confirm somebody for the attorney general post as if somehow the ethics report

doesn't exist. right? and so whether that report gets released to the judiciary or whether they have to convene their own investigation, certainly at some point we're going to figure out on some basic level, some version of the you don't you don't think that that there are enough, senator. i mean you think that there are at least four republican senators who would just say, look we're not doing this. >> i think the reality is at the end of the day, you're talking about the highest law enforcement official in the country. and so i don't believe for the purposes of the american people, it is likely that you're going to say, we're going to pretend that this piece of information doesn't exist, doesn't exist. i just don't think that you can sell that. and so i do think that whether it's the ethics report or some other investigation that we're going to get some type of adjudication here. >> aaron, do you do you think that's true? >> i think that's completely correct. and you're already seeing that play out in real time. cnn had the attorney for two of the accusers against matt gaetz in that ethics report on tonight. this information will get out there in drips and dribbles. the matter is whether or not the house committee believes that

they should be releasing it. there are a few ways for them to be able to do so. they could send it just to judiciary right now in the senate committee and say, hey, you guys are looking at this nomination. here is our report. they could release it to more broadly to the full senate within itself, to be able to look at there are options on the table, but i think that senators are clear and there are enough republican senators now without looking at a susan collins or a lisa murkowski, who, you know, are going to likely be in a much more firm, no camp on gaetz from the beginning that are saying we want to see this report and we think the committee should have access to it. >> i mean, ashley, do you do you believe that there are four republican senators who would stand up? and i mean, for them, i would imagine the pressure would be intense to to just go along with what president-elect trump would want. >> no, i think there are i don't believe there are four that have stand up against gates. i think this is what the speaker is trying to do now trump nominating him in the in the other gentleman for the secretary of defense really speaks to how morally bankrupt

the republican is right now. republican party is right now that they would try to to to silence a report about a member who is accused of sexual sex trafficking and sex with a minor. but but here's the thing is, the democratic party, the strategy is going to be to try to force force a vote, force a floor debate on this issue. they want trump and the republicans to defend these choices, to defend these nominees and their actions. but regrettably for the democratic party, voters did not hold the republican party accountable for their contempt against women in this last election. they've not not hold republicans in donald trump accountable for how they've treated women in their in their their disposition toward their consternation, toward women. i mean, you can look back at kavanaugh, you can look back at the the hollywood access tape. i mean the republican party's right now is incredibly. >> and when when when speaker johnson said, we're in a different era, he's right.

we're in the trump era and the laws and the statutes and the protocol that applied every other time just seems not to apply to donald trump. i mean, remember, let me let me just say this. i remember you and i are old enough to remember when bill clinton had two attorney general nominees zoe baird and kimba wood who were eliminated, who had to withdraw because they had employed illegal nannies. matt gaetz is accused of sleeping with a girl who's almost young enough to need a nanny, and republicans are saying there's nothing to see here. >> look, they aren't saying that, though i just want to push back on that to be abundantly clear republicans themselves are not morally bankrupt. the majority of the american people are saying, but no, wait, let me finish. the american people said very clearly, the majority of them, donald trump won the popular vote in this country. they don't believe republicans are morally bankrupt. and so if you guys want to change the conversation and you want to stop a nomination like matt

gaetz, you got to stop saying the republican party is morally bankrupt because the american people immediately are going to turn that off and say, we've already voted beyond this. we're moving. >> i understand the argument also that's made, which is, look, a president who gets elected by a majority deserves to have the people around him he wants that being said obviously there is there is a process here. but to what degree? uh, i mean, if if all the attention is on gaetz and how many people can democrats actually oppose with some kind of impact. >> but i also want to push back because at a certain point republicans themselves don't find fault with this or wouldn't want to see that report because we just watched reporting where kevin cramer, a senator, a sitting senator in the united states, said, no, he's not the only one. i heard john cornyn today i'm sure there's many, many who have private doubts. but then we got to stop speaking in totalities and generalities about the republican party and about donald trump. but if you guys want to ever win a an election again, stop talking. >> i want to win an election with republicans that have a moral compass. let me just joe,

let me just ask you how many, but just just from a practical standpoint, how many nominees can be pushed back on because, i mean democrats can't push back on everybody. i mean, tulsi gabbard is causing a lot of concern. >> look, the reality is democrats have taken issue with pretty much everybody for different reasons. let's be very clear. these are very serious concerns i would also push back against the notion that somehow the republican party has become the party that is okay with people having sex with underage girls. that is completely untrue. it has no basis in the vote. >> well, to be clear, it has, it has it has it has zero basis in what speaker johnson is talking about. all speaker johnson is talking about is protecting the premise that we do not actually release ethics reports from members that are out of the house and on something like this it is it pertinent specifically because there is somebody who is applying to be the chief law enforcement official in the country but it could then also lead to a whole bunch of other releases for people who are not

up for a similar job. >> we've got to take a break. coming up next, several other choices. what robert f. kennedy's cousin caroline said today about his views on vaccines. we mentioned tulsi gabbard, the ongoing question about the director of national intelligence pick and her history with moscow and syria. later in the week, the president elect's attendance at a ufc event over the weekend, a look at the fight fans who helped elect him and where they got the information that helped them decide. we'll be right back on have i got news for you is coming to cnn this fall. pros and cons list pro, hosted by roy wood jr.. >> pro with amber ruffin pro with michael ian black oh okay. what are the cons? we could run out of news by then. >> could that really happen? >> if it does, i'm gonna start flipping houses. >> i like that idea better. >> let's do that. oh no, that's my idea. >> flipping houses with michael ian black and amber ruffin have i got news for you saturday at nine on cnn and stream next day on max want to know a secret more than just my armpits stink? that's why i use secret whole body deodorant

♪ ♪ ♪ something has changed within me ♪ ♪ it's time to try defying gravity ♪ ♪ ♪ made affordable i'm hanako montgomery in tokyo and this is cnn looking at a photograph of the president elect, his son elon musk, and rfk jr. enjoying a mcdonald's meal on a plane. now, full disclosure i enjoy a big mac meal and a number seven, which is two cheeseburgers and fries and a coke, but it doesn't seem like rfk jr. is enjoying the saturated fats and high sodium.

some political observers to call this photo the hazing of robert f. kennedy jr., the president elect's choice to run the department of health and human services. kennedy has called this kind of food just poison it's his views on vaccines. however, among other things, which are making his confirmation potentially bumpy and drawing criticism from many quarters, including the kennedy family members including his cousin. this is caroline yes, i think bobby kennedy's views on vaccines are dangerous and um, and i but i don't think that most americans share them. >> so um, we'll just have to wait and see what happens. >> back now with the panel. ashley do you think some of these nominees are kind of red herrings? like kind of provide cover for some of the other choices? >> absolutely. i mean, i think democrats are sort of thinking strategically about which battles they want to fight. you can't swing at every ball. i think that gaetz is a smokescreen. i think he's going to be a sacrificial lamb i caution to democrats in the senate would be keep your eye on the ball as tulsi gabbard

who's in the position to do the most harm and danger to the american people, do you think do you think, tulsi gabbard really? absolutely. she's she's she's going to be housing american secrets. it's, you know, it's widely held that she's compromised she's a putin sympathizer. she pals around the country. i mean, around the world with terrorists and dictators absolutely. people should be very concerned about who's housing american secrets. i mean, the reality is you can get any maga republican lawyer to be the ag, but that the person that actually has, you know, american secrets should be above reproach. and she's not. >> i mean, look, i just think that democrats are, in fact, swinging at every pitch in the dirt. it doesn't appear that there is a singular rhyme or reason it's just that president trump remains crazy. his supporters remain insane, and somehow all of the policy positions of the modern republican party are somehow not acceptable in polite society. and yet the majority of the american people just went to the polls and said they want the foreign policy vision

of president trump, much of which overlaps with what tulsi gabbard disagree with you, i don't listen. no, nobody batted an eyelash in either side about marco rubio. nobody batted an eyelash about walls nobody's, you know, said much about sean duffy. okay. you know, i mean, really, when you're when what you're the only thing you're asking for is that they not have criminal allegations sexual allegations are compromised with foreign foes. is that too much and maybe are not insane conspiracy theories and anti-vaxxers who could, you know, put the country in danger most the there's allegations and there are things that are confirmed. everything that we're talking about is an allegation. you just have to get to the point where we can credibly say, yes, you believe these people did something that was illegal or we don't. and i just think that yes, where there's no but on, on, on tulsi gabbard it is not an allegation that she advocated for the pardon of snowden, who is the biggest leaker there's

been of american secrets, who is now living in moscow. i mean, is that an allegation or is that a fact? >> she traveled to syria and met with assad several times. >> but isn't this the job of the united states senate isn't blamed? >> the u.s. for the invasion? >> so, aaron, i mean, do you believe that there are going to be recess appointments? i mean, do you think that this will you don't i mean, right, that's the biggest word. that's the biggest question. and right now there's no need for them the senate will be in doing its regular work. it can do the committee hearings. it can vote to send a nomination out of committee to the floor. it can vote on the floor recess appointments are pulling the fire alarm. it means that something has gone terribly wrong. and it's so jammed up that they're not able to get things moving in the senate or when it was originally put together. you just couldn't get everybody back in town to be able to confirm these nominations isn't is that like the old way it was done? >> would this be a new use of recess i mean, maybe so recess appointments do exist, but you have to be able to agree to the recess or vote to the recess, right? that's 60 in the senate. everything exists around 60 except for the

occasional arcane rule, which puts it at 50. anyways, we can go into the senate procedure and i love the senate. >> john thune you don't think they could do was to vote no, right now. >> right now, there's no need to talk about 60 votes. we're talking about a boogeyman that doesn't exist yet. we're talking about the hypothetical introduced this know he's talked about, but he's talking about a procedure that does exist. >> talking about recess appointments in the context where democrats decide to like the united states senate on fire and not appoint anybody when you're in the minority. but you can't light it on fire when you're in the minority. >> the point is, if they're going to effectively drag the entire process out, make the entire process so painful that we're going into february, we're going into march, and we have empty seats. >> if republican senators do not capitulate on their duty to advise and consent, and they conduct a vigorous hearings where they, you know, these folks are the only people that have said it, and then they vote their conscience right they should we shouldn't be having this conversation. >> but i can also tell you this. you asked a question about john thune and whether or not what i believed about john thune. i'll tell you this i won't ask you that. i tell you no, but i've known john thune

for 20 years. i know john thune i worked for i think he's an institutionalist, and i think he's a good guy and i hope i hope that he will conduct himself as as the new leader of the senate and be ethical. this is why he's always been maga doesn't understand about why john thune was such a great selection, is that he understands how the senate works. he knows these rules and procedures. he knows what it takes to run the clock on a nomination. listen, if democrats want to make it painful and never get home to see their districts or their families, they can run the clock on every nomination. it also eats up floor time in order to get the agenda done that donald trump was elected to do on behalf of the american people. if democrats want to jam the floor of the united states senate and ultimately have a fire alarm pulled because they're unwilling to do both of their jobs, which are nominations and not jam up the floor. and they want to run the clock, throw their hands up in the air to the legislature. calendar. democrats cannot throw their hands up in the air and run the clock and they stop the american people from getting the agenda. they want done. that's exactly what they're not even not not even mitch mcconnell, the united

states senate. i can tell you this mitch mcconnell, they will run corecivic mitch mcconnell, who had okay, who had polio who had polio. i have a hard time thinking that mitch mcconnell, who had polio and knows the benefit of those vaccines and eradicating those diseases that almost wiped out children, would throw his hands up in the air and say, oh, it's rfk, everyone, let's appreciate it. thank you. coming up, the president elect elon musk, and many in trump's inner circle spent fight night with some of trump's biggest fans, or donie o'sullivan was there. his report next super size the celebration of america's favorite holiday. >> spend thanksgiving morning with cnn with live coverage of parades around the country. john berman and erica hill host cnn thanksgiving in america live thursday, november 28th at eight on cnn should check out inspire no mask, no hose, just sleep.

need a script. >> you're a new yorker? yes. born and raised in brooklyn, new york, right from the hood. did you ever consider voting for harris i actually voted for obama. you did? yeah. that was the last time i ever voted for somebody that's not trump yeah. >> so? so what changed my level of thinking? me not thinking that the police are above me and white men are above me and i'm all good about like, yo, we can learn about history and all that stuff, but don't tell me or don't, don't try to put it in a way that it's like our country is racist. our kids are important guys you know? and if we're not teaching them well, if we're not teaching them about credit, if we're not teaching them about how to get a home eventually, and we're all we're talking about is racism. and, you know trans and gays, which, like i said, i'm all good. like, you do what you do. just don't force it on. poor people. and that's where we're about like as long as you're not forcing it, we're good. >> the power of the alliance between trump and the ufc was on full display here in madison

square garden the sound in this room right now, it's so loud in here. it is so loud. >> trump was flanked by elon musk kid rock, house speaker mike johnson and some of his new cabinet picks, including rfk jr. and tulsi gabbard, as he made his way into the arena, trump embraced ufc commentator in the world's most famous podcaster, joe rogan, who'd endorsed him after trump appeared on his podcast i'm joined now by donie o'sullivan, our senior data reporter. >> harry enten, politico's meridith mcgraw. um, do you think that joe john avlon with people at the ufc match more excited to see trump or the fight? do you think everybody we spoke to was were there to see the fight? however, every single person we spoke to, all of whom were young men, were very excited to see trump so there was nobody there who was not a trump supporter, at least of the dozen or so people and harriet tubman walks us through the numbers. >> how they've changed since. it is unbelievable. unbelievable. you know, there's sometimes they'll look at data points, they go, whoa and this is one of those points

because take a look at men under the age of 25. compare how donald trump did four years ago versus how he did this past election cycle. four years ago, he lost men under the age of 25 by 20 points. look at that data now. donald trump won them by two. i went all the way back into the record archives. you know, i love going through those spreadsheets. you sometimes go to your office is in the record archive. that's exactly right. yes. my my, my life is an archive. i'll give you an offer i know who knew. and you have to go all the way back since 2000 to find a republican candidate who won among men under the age of 25, before donald trump. so it was truly a record setting performance for him. that was george w. bush back in 2000. he beat al gore. you remember that election? yes sure. yeah. meredith, is it clear to you how much how much the trump team is counting on support from young male voters in the court of public opinion during any confirmation battles in the senate well, certainly during the campaign, they really pushed getting young men's attention and not just young men but young people who were just disaffected by traditional media. >> trump went on all four of

the top spotify podcasts. joe rogan theo vaughn, tucker carlson and really engaged with social media platforms and outlets that were getting the eyeballs from young people that they just wouldn't. with other traditional media sources and you've seen how some surrogates are still going on these different podcasts, and they are advocating for some of trump's cabinet picks. so it's in terms of the the court of public opinion that you're talking about, it still plays a big role in trump's support and the support for this movement that he's built. >> antonio also, where they're getting information, i saw the study from pew research center, 40% or nearly 40% of young americans get their news from influencers, many of whom lean to to the right. that's certainly i mean it shaped the way a lot of folks. >> absolutely. and look, this is the thing so 40% of young men are getting their news and information, as you heard, a lot of the guys in that piece, they're not from you or me, anderson cooper or even thanks

for looking my direction i know, but i but i think what's really important and what's hard to get our head around maybe for for folks who are used to just regular politics, is that a lot of these influencers, even joe rogan don't necessarily fall into the republican democrat bucket and a lot of times they can be conservative here, but very liberal here well, i'm honestly just it makes them more interesting, frankly. >> absolutely. yeah and so even you know, i love there's been a lot of talk of people saying, well, the left needs their version of a joe rogan. and i think it was jon stewart who actually pointed out just last week that that i mean, if you actually listen to joe rogan when like you were a kid in like, your mom says, let's go buy some cool clothes for you, like that doesn't. >> yeah it's not going to that doesn't seem like my mother didn't buy my clothes. i just want to know. i bought my own action. you know, she bought my clothes. >> but i do think this is where democrats are misunderstanding. i think a bit of this new media landscape, it's like it is not as black and white as folks in washington dc might like to

think it is right well, and i mean, harry the harris, how did she i mean, she underperformed with almost every kind of young person yeah, that's exactly right. i mean, look, i know a lot we should point out the popular vote count now is actually much closer. >> it's much closer. in fact, donald trump at this point, i think if you go back since 1824, ranks 44th out of 51 for popular vote victories. he's under 50%. biden in 2020 had a bigger one. biden, in fact every single person who won the popular vote had a wider margin than he has. again, yeah, you have to go all the way back since 2000, when al gore only won the popular vote by 0.51 percentage points. but look, i know a lot of folks on the left want to blame you know, young men for kamala harris's downfall. but the bottom line is she underperformed with pretty much everyone who was under the age of 25. so if you look and you compare it to how joe biden did four years ago, you can see it there. joe biden's margin was 34 points, with voters under the age of 25. kamala harris was just 12. that is, again, the weakest

performance for voters under the age of 25 for a democratic candidate since al gore back in 2000. it's also so interesting meredith, because, i mean, there's a whole generation of, you know, young people who only know american politics as being centered around donald trump. i mean, that's that's actually kind of an incredible power because they're, you know, older people are sort of comparing it to other times in american history that they've lived through other presidents. but for a lot of young people, this is this is all normal. >> well, i think that's why donald trump going on so many of these podcasts was such an important strategy for them because he would go on with some of these guys and talk for hours and not really just about politics or policy, but you know, about pop culture or trump's past celebrity life or, you know, theo vaughn was talking about cocaine with him and, you know, drug use and, you know, so he was going off on different tangents. and the trump campaign really felt like it was good for him to be shown in a different light and be shown more of, like this pop

culture celebrity side of him that they felt could really appeal in particular to these younger people who were tuning in a lot of their sources of media now are, like you said, you know, tiktok, instagram, twitter and places where it's not so focused on the policy, but more on vibes. >> yeah. meridith mcgraw, thank you. harry enten donie o'sullivan as well. up next, president biden had the g-20 summit a day after giving the green light to ukraine to use long range u.s. weapons to strike inside russia. the question is will that actually change the course of the war for ukraine? nick paton walsh nick paton walsh joins us next were being held hostage that was being led across the embassy compound. >> people were running up to me shouting, death to america! >> the iran hostage crisis how it really happened sunday at nine on cnn mattress from mattress firm? so i sleep all night long. >> it's the black friday sale.

summit today in rio, a day after sources say he authorized ukraine's use of long range missiles inside russia for the first time. biden told attendees today that everyone should support quote, ukraine's sovereignty. sovereignty territorial integrity. the kremlin today said the president's decision will, quote, throw oil on the fire and escalate the conflict in ukraine nick paton walsh has more on the desperately familiar scramble to find survivors after russian missiles slammed into the border town of sumy on sunday night. less usual, the death toll of 11. two children, a residential block hit. and just hours later another ten killed in a strike on odesa. horrifically this is now the norm for ukraine. the weekend, seeing a particularly large nationwide attack after nearly a thousand days of war donald trump's election may have made diplomacy a likelihood again but ukraine's zelenskyy clear how the strike showed, quote,

what russia is really interested in only war. >> he visited two frontline towns under intense russian pressure monday. pokrovsk key to ukraine's entire southeastern front and kupiansk, a town russia, was kicked out of in late 2022. all signs the war for months has not been going. ukraine's way. perhaps behind the stark and significant u.s. policy change sunday. sources telling cnn president joe biden has finally permitted ukraine to use long range american missiles to strike inside russia something zelenskyy has for months begged for ukraine. the plan to strengthen ukraine is the victory plan. i had presented to partners. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy said. long range possibilities for our army as one of its major points. missiles will speak for themselves, he added. one u.s. official said the missiles would focus on kursk, the part of russia ukraine

invaded in august, where moscow is due to make a counterattack and a key bargaining chip. if peace talks begin biden's decision process familiar like with himars missiles struggled to push russia back in 2022 and then relented and with abrams tanks, he paused. so they arrived too late to help. in 2023, counteroffensive an f-16 jets at first rejected and now helping ukraine push russia's advances back. the atacms won't change ukraine's war overnight. there are not enough of them, but it is a move biden refused to make for months saying it was too escalatory. but now endorses entangling the us deeper into the war. just months ahead of trump taking office. the fear how putin will react when the idea first emerged, he said it would be a stark escalation this will mean that nato

countries, the united states and european countries are fighting russia, he said. nick paton walsh joins us now. nick, has vladimir putin responded to this new u.s. policy yet? and is there a sense of how he may respond? >> yeah not specifically since the announcement and previously, as you saw there he has intimated this would essentially be nato, the united states and europe joining the conflict against russia. and that would require a fulsome response. now, those comments were echoed by a foreign ministry spokesperson today. but we've seen putin in the past make his red lines a bit fuzzier when he's put in a more uncomfortable position. does russia really, at this point, exhausted by the war in ukraine, have the muscle to take on nato in its entirety? probably not but what this move has really done anderson, is deeply complicate the next 2 or 3 months of the war, it puts ukraine, potentially with a short term advantage. however, few of these longer range missiles indeed they have at their disposal. but the ultimate effect is to complicate that which donald trump, the president elect, inherits. in january, the 20th.

he said he's keen on some kind of talks, or at least stopping the killing. but this escalation from president joe biden, something this white house was so reluctant to do has certainly made the idea of rapprochement harder. anderson nick paton walsh, thanks so much. well, still ahead tonight, a major security breach on the grounds of windsor castle. masked thieves got on, got on the property while prince william and his family were likely sleeping nearby at their home. we'll tell you what the burglars got away with next you want answers? astute political analysis. >> we have all kinds of questions. >> you're about to feel so stupid, pressing questions. >> what did biden do that set the right course? >> stayed awake hard hitting questions. why did trump pull out of 60 minutes? >> i love pulling out and downright ridiculous questions. >> what are your predictions for next week's top stories, baby oil files for bankruptcy. this is the news network. >> have i got news for you? next saturday at nine on cnn and stream next day on max.

america thursday november 28th at eight on cnn well, the search is on for two masked men who broke into the grounds of windsor castle and stole items. >> and while it's believed that prince william, the princess of wales and their three children slept in their home elsewhere on the sprawling property. now the break-in happened last month, it was confirmed today by police. cnn's royal correspondent max foster has details you would have thought it was one of the most secure compounds in britain, a base for all the uk's senior royals but that didn't stop burglars from breaking into windsor castle grounds police say thieves entered a farm building on the crown estate land late on sunday, october. >> the 13th, stealing a pickup truck and a quad bike before making their escape the farm just minutes away from windsor castle and from adelaide cottage, where the prince and princess of wales have a family home and they were likely there that night. there's no

indication the royal family was targeted or ever in danger but the incident does show yet another security breach surrounding the royals. kate and william live on their own without staff at their home on the estate, but with security on the premises. for their part, both kensington and buckingham palace saying they don't comment on security matters the break in just days before king charles and queen camilla's long flight to visit australia and samoa, the couple weren't at windsor when the break in took place. incidents like this aren't new, and this one certainly not the most serious in 2021, a man broke into windsor castle itself wearing a mask and armed with this weapon, a crossbow. the 19 year old was hoping to kill queen elizabeth ii but he was stopped before he could harm her. still, the incident raising serious concerns about security around the royal family and max foster joins us

now. you mentioned in the report that kensington, buckingham palace have said they don't comment on security matters. is there a sense of how security around royals changed after some of those previous break ins? >> well, it's such a difficult issue to get information on, frankly, anderson because as soon as you ask the palace about it, they close down, as does the government as does all the various police forces involved here. that's for a very practical reason. they don't want to give those security arrangements away, but also because of the sheer cost of it. so it's by far the biggest cost to the public for having a royal family. the only estimate we've got is from the anti-monarchy group republic estimates it don't get much information on it, i'm afraid. >> all right, max foster, thanks so much. the news continues right here on cnn >> the attorney for two women who testified against matt gaetz is outfront tonight. one
