need a secure border. mike: if what are your thoughts on the border issue, nicole, after the election and what he had to say today? >> well, i think what john fetterman says is exactly what the democratic party is reckoning with. they can't not address it internally within ourselves. what you saw the congressman just say is exactly where a lot of the members of the party are. we need to work together with the republicans and find solutions that make sense for what the majority of america wants. the concerns from the democratic party is this mill tar aization aspect. militarization. honestly, what we saw rand paul say earlier. there's a lot of concern about using the army and about how will this be done and how will it be paid for, because it isn't just an easy thing to happen, and there is a lot of logistics that goes into it. do we have enough detension centers, enough trained people the actually execute these deportations. >> there's a lot of worry about how we're going to pay for it,

how does congress factor into that and that a house while still controlled by republicans, we definitely need both parties coming to the table. >> depends what the deportation effort ends up looking like. if it's going where the trump team is indicating, that they're going to be starting with those who already have deportation orders, who have already been adjudicated through the process in the united states, those who are within the legal and justice system right now and have been found guilty of other crimes, especially violent felonies, they're going to be looking at that. you're looking at over a million people within the united states. that is lot of people to move. going beyond that and reminding anybody if else illegally in the united states, that is something i think is going to take a little more time to put more concretely together, but everybody can agree if you've already been adjudicated through the process in the united states or have committed a violent crime, you should be deported out of the country. mike: then there's the process of confirming the trump cabinet.

we can hoe the audience the top 15 secretary nominees. there's also been some talk about vetting. let's play the back and forth on that. >> our job is to look at the fbi background check and to ask some questions to make sure they're fulfilling the mission of the department. in this case i am concerned with all these nominees -- >> i'm certain that there was significant vetting that has taken place. it has for every candidate. so i'm not expecting anything to sort of drop, as you say. mike: what do you expect the democratic play to be in terms of dealing with these nominees, to go for a couple, perhaps, or how do you think it'll work out in. >> yeah. i mean, look, i think it's understood that there are a number of them that they're going to have policy december i disagreements with but are qualified for the job. you're going to see them ask is questions in committee, make their statements on the floor. but you can agree when the other party wins, you're going to have cabinet secretaries that don't align with all of your policies.

i think there is concern about some of the qualifications of a few. one of them being the former congresswoman, tulsi gabbard, for example. and, you know, i think that one and a couple of these others, rfk jr. with his vaccine policies, is really going to be where the democrats lean in and try to see if they can pull off a few on the other side odd and maybe score a victory by sending a nom down. as the senator pointed out earlier in the morning, they've got a good cushion this in the senate, so it's a lot of people they've got to come up with. mike: what are your expectations, erin, as they shepherd these nominees through the senate? >> one, it will be what democrats are doing to try to throw up roadblocks along the way in the nomination process. the first of that you're seeing right now regarding the fbi background checks. they're not mandatory in this process but are considered common. you hear senators saying they don't want the process to go forward without those background checks. they're starting there, and they're going to continue to try

to play that. i think overall, of the 15 maybe they get 1 that they can't get through, but of that team there's not a lot of political capital that donald trump would have to expend for most of those nominees to get out of committee for a floor vote. mike: all right. i'd like to play a quick clip from bill maher and get a quick reaction. >> chief psychiatric resident at yale university, amanda calhoun, recently told joy reid it's okay to cut off family members if they voted for trump and tell them i'm not going to be around you this holiday. ooh, how pure. it's like not letting certain people sit with you on the bus. mike: nicole, when can we get back to a bipartisan thanksgiving? [laughter] >> i think the comparison is absolutely ridiculous. if somebody feels like for their mental health they don't want to sit next the their uncle that they know the is not going to leavo leave them alone all day, maybe that's a choice they've got to make.

i thought the rosa parks comparison was ridiculous but on pace for him. he needs a little shock value. mike: erin, your thoughts. >> leave the political tensions elsewhere. there's going to be some bad football you can watch. [laughter] you don't need to get into a fight. we should be able to disagree without being disagreeable, and if you do have an uncle on either side of the political spectrum if on thanksgiving, at the end of the day, you are family. you know what? let's agree to disagree and just enjoy some food and time. it count have to be all this serious. mike: and maybe another cocktail. erin, nicole, thank you so much. happy thanksgiving to you and yours. >> happy thanksgiving. mike: president biden's making a last ditch effort to make good on campaign promises like student debt forgiveness and support to ukraine before leaving office as some democrats push biden to trump-proof his legacy. mark meredith is live at the white house with more. hello, mark. >> reporter: president biden continue toss keep a low

>> reporter: it's interesting, mike, we are seeing such a change of pace here at the white house compared to before the election, things much calmer. the vice president sill out in hawaii, she's expected to come back within the next few days. the white house, though, defending her choice to go on vacation even as many dnc stares are without a job. as for the president, he was off to new york tomorrow to meet with members of the u.s. coast guard and then off to man nantucket for the holiday itself. mike: mark meredith, thank you very much. canadian prime minister justin trudeau under fire weekend after he was seen dancing at a taylor swift concert while protesters wreaked havoc in montreal. that's next. ♪ balanced nutrition for strength and energy. ♪ ♪ nutrients for immune health. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein.

pretty creative ideas about how to bring this to a close. as you mentioned, there's some real questions about russian troop strength, and this has been, you know, for the russians a war of attrition. they're trying to kill more ukrainians than ukraine can tolerate with their larger numbers. but we've had reports overnight that not only do we have these north korean troops they've recruited, but they're recruiting the houthi out of yemen, the iranian terrorist proxies, to get involved. i said, good grief, this is like the bar scene in "star wars." you've got every mercenary on the planet pouring in there. i think there are interesting questions that there may be understoods for the incoming trump team -- can opportunities for the incoming trump team. mike: i'd like to show the audience a map of ukraine, and you see there's an awful lot of red there which is assessed russian control. for there to be a deal in ukraine, will zelenskyy have to get used to the idea of handing some of that territory over the moscow? >> well, i mean, that's something that's going to have

for more on this let's are bring in attorney lexie rigden. lexie, welcome. >> thanks, mike. mike i want to start with what daniel penny's defense if team a had to say on friday. let's play that clip. >> very pleased with the presentation of the trial, we're very pleased with the presentation of the defense case. we think it's going to be very clear that jordan neely did not die of asphyxiation from a chokehold. i think it's even more clear that daniel penny kid not perceive, intend or otherwise disregard my risk of death. mike: daniel penny, my apologies. what do you make of the developments in this case? >> mike, i think it's going to be very, very hard for a jury of 12 people to actually find this defendant guilty. i think that there is probably a possibility of maybe a hung jury or a complete acquittal because even if you believe the state's expert who said that the chokehold absolutely caused the death, you still have the ask yourself as a juror whether

daniel penny's conduct was reasonable in the situation and whether he behaved recklessly. and given the fact that these people are just normal new york city people, they're riding the subway, there were people that testified that this person was terrifying, it was unlike anything they'd experienced, i find it hard to to believe, at least i hope the 12 people are not going to be able to come to a conclusion that the person who stepped up to protect these people is actually guilty of what he's being charged with. and then on the flipside, the defense had a very strong expert that they ended their case with who was a forensic pa holings who, unlike the state's medical examiner, had all the information to review and told the jury that the chokehold is not actually what killed jordan mealy. either way you slice it, i think and at least i hope for daniel penny's sake we are on the verge of an acquittal or a hung jury. mike: the defense rested without testimony from daniel penny. what do you make of that decision? >> you know, i think that, generally speaking, the conventional wiz.com is you don't have the defendant testify

unless it's absolutely necessary, and because they were able to play that entire police interrogation video where he didn't have an attorney because he didn't believe he had done anything wrong, and he it would them what happened on the train, why he intervened, i don't think it was necessary. he's got some very talented lawyers that, clearly, you know, were probably talking about this extensively and decided that it's not really worth the risk putting him on the stand. even though i assume that whatever daniel penny would be saying is the truth, still, when you get in front of a jury and you're being cross-examined, you know, who knows what you're going to say. so they probably didn't see the benefits of putting him out there in that way. mike: all right. to the jussie smollett case, the actor accused of staging a hate crime hoax, had his conviction overturned five years after he was first arrested. what to do you make of that case? >> well, i think like many people, i don't believe in jussie smollett's innocence. and the supreme court of illinois is not saying that he was innocent. what this basically was was

saying he enter into a non-prosecution -- entered into a non-prosecution agreement and he agreed to pay a fine and do community services -- service and the charges were dropped. it was am sop uproar that a special prosecutor prosecuted him and he was found guilty. fo. and what the illinois supreme court said was that was a violation of double jeopardy. while i don't believe jussie smollett, you know, as a defense attorney, the state should be bound to honor the agreements they enter into with defendants, so i think this was certainly not an exoneration of him, but a fair result given the procedurerd history of this case. mike: to be clear, they did not address his continued insistence that he was innocent, are right? >> right. they did not reach the merits at all. all they said is you can't prosecute the guy, you made a deal with the guy. you can't then go back on the deal that he relied on, prosecute him and expect that's not some type of violation of double jeopardy. so it didn't reach the merits at all. they never said he was innocent.
