two to go vote. it delays them, and ultimately impacts the polls. what if somebody pretending to be a government official tweets out a threat of war or some hateful incitement against minorities in a community that inspires attacks in that community. fortunately, thank god these hypotheticals do not appear to have happened yet, but i do have to ask, what is this all for? suggesting that twitter could make a little bit more money, more revenue, this is the potential risk that we could now be facing with elon musk's twitter. >> you ask the 44 million dollar question, eamonn, which is why did he buy it, what does he want to do with it? i don't know the answer to those questions, but i'll say that it doesn't seem that hard to be the world's richest man if you can't see what's not going on in from your face. >> the billionaire myth. it's always good to see you, my friend, thank you and good job as always. enjoy the rest of your evening up. coming up on him, in a blue surprise, democrats retake

control of the senate with the potential to pick up one more seat. plus, historic ballot initiatives. the legalization of marijuana, medicaid expansion, even slavery ending up on some states ballots this year. we'll tell you more about. we are going to look at some new rising stars within the democratic party. i'm ayman, let's get started. >> last night at this hour, the msnbc news decision desk made a major call, a move they defined history and expectations. democrats are now projected to retain control of the u.s. senate. democratic incumbent senator katherine cortez masto, in nevada propelled her party to the majority after beating out republican adam laxalt. >> the victory is for nevada and all of us. all of the hard work that we

have put into it. this election, nevadans rejected the far-right politicians working to divide us. we rejected the conspiracies, their attacks on our workers, and our efforts to restrict our freedom. >> cortez master's degree -- regardless of the outcome of the georgia december 6th runoff election, although we should know that there are significant differences, and important winds between a 50 seat majority and a 51 seat majority. meanwhile, the better for the house remains too close to call. the latest msnbc news projection shows republicans with at least 219 seats to democrats to 16. important to emphasize right here, that projection comes along with this very important caveat. a four seat margin of error that could go either way. yesterday, democrats made it clear that they are still very much in the game when it comes to control, flipping a key house seat in washington's third district.

i see that many believed was safely red going into the midterms. the way to add it to a series of democratic victories coast to coast. the party not only beat back a red wave, but they also won back so-called blue wall states that donald trump wanted in 2016. that's important because it shores up their positions going into 2024. democrats did not just beat expectations on a national level, they also made in historic gains in state legislatures across the country. like in michigan, where democratic's hope to flip the house and senate. gretchen whitmer's victory there means that the party now has complete control over the state government for the first time in 40 years. in minnesota, democrats also secured a trifecta after taking the state senate, the party also maintained their majorities in massachusetts, maryland, and even won a supermajority in vermont. in wisconsin, even though they failed to win control of the

inner chamber, they stopped republicans from containing a supermajority in the state legislature, which would've allowed them to overwrite democratic governor tony evers veto power. these democratic winds take on a whole new significance when you consider this. right now, at this moment, the supreme court is preparing their arguments in a monumental case concerning the once -- independent state legislature theory. the right court appears poised to -- the ability, yes the ability to unilaterally set the rules for federal elections. many experts fear that the expected decision could open the door for state level lawmakers to basically ignore the will of the people, and choose an alternative slate of electors. i know you are thinking, if all of this sounds familiar it's because it is exactly what trump and his cronies tried to do in 2020 election. although national races tend to steal the spotlight, we get

that, the state level winds are important, and they will have major implications. not only on policy like abortion rights and legislation, but also for the foundation and future of our democracy. let's bring in somebody who knows the ins and outs of the state level politics, ben wikler. he's the chairman of the wisconsin democratic party. also joining us is john -- it's great to both of you with us. molly, i'll start with you. your reaction to the democrats, not just holding the senate majorities, which is extremely important and significant, but what they were able to do on a state level. >> i think that we in the pundit class did not give voters enough credit. they rejected authoritarianism, they rejected trumpism. they rejected racism, and they voted for.

the good guys one, the democracies, the swing state candidates who are anti-democratic, election deniers, almost all of them have lost. we still have another gubernatorial that's waiting to be called. but the american people did not give them enough credit. they sought through it, and they voted for people who believe in democracy and the rule of law. i think that it was a very good night for democrats, but more importantly, it's a good night for democracy. >> although democrats like mandela barnes was not able to beat out the incumbent republican senator ron johnson, you did reelect the governor, tony evers. what do you think that voters did in splitting their tickets? why do you think that happened in a place like wisconsin? >> the striking context is that wisconsin most goes against the

president in a midterm. the last time they voted for a governor of the same party of as the president was 30 years ago. the last time it was a democrat was in 1962 1962 was also the last year where an incumbent republican in the senate was defeated during a democratic presidency. the fact that we came within one point is a testament to mandela barnes's strength. the fact that ever's when a 3.4 percentage point victory, that is triple his 2018 margin during the blue wave year. it's an extraordinary thing. the other piece of this is the republicans have gerrymandered wisconsin so badly that they could very well have gotten super majorities in both changers of the state legislature. they were 2499 votes short. voters said no to having a unilateral republican control go to a party that did not even win statewide in the governor's race. it really is, as molly was saying, an extraordinary night in the midterm election. it goes against the pattern of history, and it represents a

triumph for democracy and freedom in a moment where a basic freedom was being taken away for half the population. >> i'm so glad you provided that context. as bin was just saying that, when you see, it we kind of sometimes look at the double use and else, and we think about it just as that. but having that context shows us what the message that was behind all of those votes, how critical are these now. democratic blue wall victories ahead of 2024 when you look at the momentum that the democrats can build on. if you take something that ben just said, mandela barnes, what the democrats were able to do in a very gerrymandered wisconsin. how did they reinforce or sure up that blue wall in pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin ahead of 2024? >> the state houses are really critical, and i think the democrats have sort of gotten interested in them again there is a period during obama when democrats took their eye off of the ball and they become very committed to working on the

state parties, just it as what happened in wisconsin. it's really great, and when democrats do that, i think that it helps the other party, the different -- i would say that the hope is that next time republicans will not try to dismantle democracy in 2024. what they did this time was really rebuked by voters. it is very scary to have just one party that believes in this central tenant of our entire governmental system. i think that the hope is that republicans will not do this again, but i think there's a good framework here for democrats to be able to protect our freedoms. >> you mentioned the fact that democratic voters were able to prevent the gop from reaching a veto proof supermajority. i just talked about the significance of what state legislators will be doing if this decision, harper versus

more goes the way that some would like it. do you believe that folks in your state and elsewhere are beginning to understand just how crucial state elections are to our democracy? i keep saying this, i was talking about it with ali last night. i don't think that any of us four years ago, five years ago, knew a single name of a secretary of state in this country. >> absolutely. this really is a sea change moment for democrats, and there are so many people -- especially local activists, committed democratic party members, grassroots groups, who won their state legislature races. attorney general, as governors races. that work, finalizing -- building grassroots networks that can turn out voters for offices that are far from the national news. that makes all the difference in the times in, -- what molly was referring to, we saw donald trump go state-by-state and try to

pressure state officials to overturn election results. in wisconsin and in these other states, there were people running for officers who wanted to do that in 2024. there is a bill in our state legislature that republicans introduced that would allow statewide elections to be nullified if the margin of victory was less than the number of absentee ballots cast. which is true of the last four presidential elections here. three, excuse me. not -- for the last six. that means that if republicans got their way, they can throw out those people and pull off a legal coup. that path is now closed. they said no, they rejected that risk. >> speaking of a legal coup, i want to ask you about, this it's something that you brought up. the gerrymandering, there is this new piece of esquire entitled, nobody can pretend that wisconsin is a republic. i want to know this from tuesday, the democratic party as you mentioned, they got 51% of the votes statewide in wisconsin. they have the electoral majority. that only translated to 32% of

this states legislature seats. what do you make of that assessment? can you say that wisconsin is a functioning democracy when you have 51% of the will reflected in only 30% of the political power? >> it means there's something fundamentally broken. i will say that we got to 35 seats. excuse me, 34 seats. we stopped republicans from getting the super majority that they wanted. the 35 seats meaning that we can't get the governor's veto. there's an opportunity for something better. this april 4th, 2023, this supreme state court race that will determine the -- if the non republican candidate wins that race, it means that -- they could strike down gerrymandered states. the constitutional requirement is that peoples votes coming equally. with that, wisconsin could become a democracy like

minnesota. >> thank you to the both of you, greatly appreciated as always. next up, all eyes are on the house and democrats narrow path to victory there after retaining control of the senate. my sunday night panel is here to discuss that and more, but first my friend richard louis is here with the headlines. hi, richard. >> good evening to you. some of the stories to watch right now, at least six dead and 80 injured after an explosion set off in istanbul, turkey on sunday. it happened in a popular tourist and shopping area in the city center. the president said that the act might have been an active terror. at least six people were hurt when a vehicle plowed through a crowd at the street carnival in los angeles on saturday night. police say they are conducting a traffic stop when somebody in a porsche suv drove through the event. none of those injuries were life-threatening. one person was taken into custody. and honoring the victims of the sandy hook elementary school massacre, they opened a new town connecticut on sunday.

democratic control, all eyes on the house as more race results continued to come in. as of now, republicans are favored to win the house. nbc news projects republicans with 219 seats to the democrats

to engine 16 with a critical foresee margin of error. they are already giving them a run for their money, pulling upsets in critical races. in washington's third congressional district, democrat marie perez pulled off the upset defeating joe can't, in election denier who vowed to investigate the 2020 election. perez wanted a heavily republican favored district that few saw as competitive for the democrats. this morning, democrats picked up another scene in colorado's eighth congressional district, defeating republican state senator robert kurt mayer. they've made history being the first latina elected to congress, and they begin the week confident that there is going to be this red wave in the house. if democrats keep this up, there is actually small but possible chance they could keep control. let's bring in the sunday night panel, president of the leadership conference -- >> and ben collins, nbc news

senior reporter. it's great to have all of you with us. do you see a path forward for democrats to keep their majority in the house? three winning outright races, or having such a narrow republican majority that the democrats may try to reach across the aisle and peel off one or two democrats. maybe somebody who voted for the january 6th commission, or is staunchly against trump or mccarthy. >> either of those are viable. that was because voters, as molly said, they voted for democracy. they voted for fundamental rights. they voted for candidates to express solutions to today's problems, not yesterday's election denial. with that really represents in terms of this race is that absolutely, democrats are still in it in terms of the house and the midterm.

we don't really know what the outcome is going to be, it's like every single vote has to count, it's important not to let -- all types of election denial, other conspiracies get in the way of the count. to your point, ayman, i don't think there is any question that if there is only, say, a three vote gap in terms of who controls the house, what that means is that you are going to see a lot of democrats in the minority doing exactly that, reaching across the aisle, finding cause, 3 to 4 republicans, they can actually pass legislation. that's a real possibility. >> we are also watching the race for colorado's eighth congressional district. it's where far-right congresswoman is in a very tight race against her democratic opponent, adam frasch, who has surprised everybody, not just in the district, but they wanted to

see why almost 25,000 votes last time, how bad is it that this race is even this type? >> i think it's a warning for the far-right. what you're seeing across the board here is more republicans surviving in these races. they'll be under pressure to work with democrats on a very basic thing like raising the debt ceiling. if that's not raised, it would create a tremendous economic burden on average americans. i can see small numbers of republicans who have seen the results of these midterms, and are going to want to compromise and be sane, and do things that help the american people. it's the most important thing, it's the narrow republican majority. the verdict of the american people this midterms is that they don't want extremism. they want people from both parties that are going to work on serious problems in a serious way.

>> kevin mccarthy walked into this election certain that he was going to be a house speaker, but that might be in jeopardy now as he is facing blow back from some members like matt gates and others. if they win, if republicans do win, he's going to need every republican vote for him, which obviously will be a tough majority to put together with such a slim margin. how did mccarthy nail it so badly? >> i think that if you tell your voters over and over again, just the lie that your vote doesn't count, some of them are going to believe it. they're not going to show up to vote for you. that's not just it, i think that they put some eggs in some very weird baskets, now and they lost that basket. one of them was trends swimmers and all of this ridiculous -- banning books in florida, things like that. critical race theory, these

really far right stalking horses. people are looking up and saying, wait a second, oreos cost twice as much as they did last year, what's going on here? nobody's really talking to me about this. and so if you didn't give anybody the incentive to vote based on what's actually happening in their own homes, not based on hatred of trans people, or the idea that the election was stolen, those are the driving forces of this party in the last few weeks. i don't think that really resonated with most americans. >> what would that resonated with most americans? when you think of what ben was just saying, the messaging from republicans fell flat on the republicans ears. they certainly did not newly-or the victory that many had hoped for. was it the messaging from president biden, was at the independent races and what different people were doing in those races? whether it is joshua pirro, or fetterman in pennsylvania, or you think of the folks out west,

like you are seeing right now with mark kelly in arizona. >> all of the above, amen. it really does help if you have a sitting president who is actively running for nomination who everyone knows what he delivered. we saw president biden do that as well. these are some things now whether or not their message to voters, and says i not only see and understand the problems you have, i have solutions. we saw that in the case of gretchen whitmer, who was talking about that now in the state house races. what we saw is that they were turning out for the right for abortion, they were turning out because there is actually discussion about what it meant to have that environment. in all kinds of ways, even the voters who turned out, yeah

boaters, -- some of the most diverse, truly the nature of what the united states is. they're not record high numbers, 27% overall. but in swing states, these tight races, they turned up in higher numbers. >> david, look at the republicans for a second. you'd wonder why they don't perform well, and maybe learn a lesson. but you have folks like congressman james comer who is poised to host the house oversight committee if they win, saying on fox the other night that their high priorities will be investigating hunter biden, impeaching the secretary of homeland security. and many others saying that the party has to be the old party is done, very it, burn it, wherever that he tweeted out. do you think that they've learned nothing from these midterms. >> i think the big story the

next two years as the battle for the future of the republican party. you have got a very extreme freedom caucus group in the house that kevin mccarthy, if he does win the majority, he'll be -- there's a dozen of them, they're already threatening to challenge him in his role for speaker, and since mccarthy is such a small majority, he can't give up any of those freedom caucus votes. he's going to have a very difficult time controlling that group, and that will give them more power. i think that they will go extreme. the talking points you've mentioned, we'll have all of these investigations, and i'm not sure -- again, these elections were very bad for the far-right and republican party. >> i don't want you to speculate, but what does it mean when you have marjorie taylor greene or paul gosar with power in this congress, in this next congress if they infect regain some authority within the republican party, which most likely they will if

kevin mccarthy wants to be the speaker it has to bring them into the mix for the roads. >> right, this might be the two votes that you need to do this sort of wacky investigations that you want to do. it's going to be a lot of back and forth. they do have a lot of power in this congress regardless of what happens from here on out. they're going to have to be catered to. all those things that we just saw, the david was just talking about this idea that we have to investigate hunter biden as the number one priority when there's people across the country who can't pay for gasoline. that is the number one priority of marjorie taylor greene. that sort of thing, that sort of conspiracy, the 4chan caucus. this people will have power in that space. it'll be an interesting couple of years to see how they perform. >> please stick around, we'll have a lot more to discuss. up next, the ballot initiatives that are making history across the country.

who wins the house and senate, what is not being discussed so far the number of ballot initiatives that changed the landscape of several states in our country. in response to roe v. wade being overturned, voters turned up in droves that would protect abortion rights in five states, including kentucky in michigan. thanks to marijuana legalization referendums passing in missouri, there are now 21 states where anyone over the age of 21 can legally possess marijuana. that means more than 155 million americans live in states where it is illegal. even as the gop was planning to go after medicated and social security voters in south dakota, gained them a sharper view. the medicaid program to cover thousands of low income residents, becoming the seventh state to approve it. for more on these historic results, let's bring back these

sunday night panels. the fact that these abortion measures passed in kentucky shows that abortion is not just as republicans try to portray it, an issue of the left versus the right. >> and we knew it never was. we have known from the polling, for a long time and especially after the supreme court took for the first time a fundamental right away from the american people, by taking away the right to abortion. we saw the numbers in the polls. what we are seeing in these ballot initiatives matchup with what people were saying across the political spectrum, most women, no matter their political persuasions that there should be some access to abortion. it's not a surprise that we saw even when kentucky stopped the constitution amendment which would've said the constitution of kentucky would deprive women

of the right to choose. that does matter into what we learned, but i also want to point out that in alabama, particularly alabama on removing some of the slavery, the white supremacist revisions from its constitutions. this is the same state denied black voters a black congressional district. the supreme court gave alabama a win an election free card by leaving that map in place for these midterms. then we will have an impact on the outcome of who controls the house. but at the same time, alabama has still voted to improve their constitution and take out some of those provisions. i just think that it shows the complexity of our politics and the fact that people are not as partisan as politicians are. >> how significant are these measures for issues like access to marijuana and medicaid expansion? what is the knock off effect if

you look at legalizing marijuana or expanding medicaid? >> we are a happy panel tonight but it's an extraordinary election. i just kind of want to celebrate democracy permitted here. you have these issues that are locked down in washington. no federal laws are enacted to deal with marijuana. this bitter fight over health care. here you have south dakota, a deeply red state, approving a medicaid expansion. i think that's just great, and maybe there is some referendum that liberal support and in other red states were passed, but it's just great to see this dynamism and private system, which is what i was talking about in the states where people will not vote strictly party line, and not be ideological. it's what's best for my state and the medicaid thing in south carolina, when you expand health care it solves so many other societal problems. it reduces cost for so many other people. people --

and i have to worry about their health care. this is a great election. >> well about celebrating democracy, a big win for democracy, is always welcomed on this show, that's for sure. ben, speaking of that, we also sign issued is that will help workers in illinois, join a union, nebraska, adopting a 15 dollar minimum wage increase. pretty big measures for workers in this country. again, republicans always pretend to care about the working class, and these measures did in fact pass. >> maya hit the nail on the head earlier about young people. they are pro union, and they want to get -- they want to protect their rights and freedoms. that's what's going on here. i think of colorado, for example. there were magic mushrooms, those are effectively illegal in colorado. that's fine, interesting, does

get weird or whatever. it's a treatment for depression, and it is something that has been used in that community for a long time. people have access to things on tiktok they don't think about, and they want the ability to not get bankrupted by a surgery, and they want the ability to get an abortion. they want the ability to smoke marijuana, or things like that. they want freedoms. they really focus on at this time around. they went out, and they voted. >> that's the best way to sum it up, they want freedoms. i think that the mushroom issues actually pretty interesting because as you said, you can laugh at it but it has been used in the treatment of ptsd with veterans, it has generated revenue for this state as we've seen in marijuana. it can also be a revenue generator for colorado. these things, we think of them as being somewhat trivial. but the truth is, they are somewhat complex than that. i want to thank you so much for joining us, we'll continue this

is back as a global leader on climate change. -- 170 billion dollars in clean energy incentives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. he apologized for the withdrawal from the paris climate accord under president trump. that is all well and good, and in fact it was a fantastic reality to finally have a man who actually believes in science as commander-in-chief. that being said, the setting of the congress more than slightly overshadowed by his remarks. you see the egyptian president was welcoming world leaders,

and british egyptian activist who is in the midst of a 200 plus they hunger strike, languishing in jail. i repeat, a 200 plus day hundred strike. he has reported to be a prominent figure in the 2011 uprising in egypt. in fact, we interviewed them many times in cairo. they spent a great deal in prison for dissent, all while his family watched in agony. his persistent campaigns for very basic human rights have been perceived as threats to those in positions of power, and egypt has refused to release him on humanitarian grounds. president biden reportedly pressed him about the treatment, and broader human rights concerns in egypt during a bilateral meeting on friday. u.s. national security adviser jake sullivan told reporters quote, we are doing everything that we can to secure his

release as well as the release of many other political prisoners. again, i commend president biden and the administration, but it's simply not enough. there is no environmental justice without social justice. governments cannot tackle the world climate needs with sobriety and urgency while simultaneously imprisoning young activists around the world who are at the very forefront for the calls for change. the bbc and new york times say that human rights groups estimate that egypt holds about 60,000 political prisoners. 60,000! egypt rejects those numbers, and categorically rejects that characterization that these detainees are political prisoners. one political prisoner is a force unacceptable. but the consequences for holding 60,000 cannot merely be a finger wag at the tail end of a cushy bilateral meeting. egypt does not get to host world leaders and serve as a --

for multilateral cooperation while ignoring its human rights obligations. we cannot pretend as americans to care about human rights while giving governments that abuse human rights billions of dollars. the u.s. and british government should be doing more to secure the release, and all of the detainees that are unjustly held. this week, america proved that it does take the threat of authoritarianism here at home quite seriously. it's time now for the biden administration to show that we take that threat abroad just is seriously as well. next, some new power players emerging inside of the democratic party. ic party at liberty mutual customizes your home insurance, here's a pool party. ♪ good times. insurance! ♪ only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ ♪ music: “everywhere” by fleetwood mac ♪ you ready? ♪ ♪

only pay for what you need. jingle: liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. >> the midterm elections showed to be a win for the democratic party. democracy at large, and now we are seeing national tension on some of these democratic winners, seen as the rising stars of their party. take for example gretchen whitmer in michigan, who had a double digit win against her donald trump endorsed rival, tudor dixon. there is also westmore, the first black pennsylvania governor, who defeated election denier -- and john fetterman in pennsylvania who deleted mehmet oz. my panel is back with me to talk about these rising stars. let's talk about the future of the democratic party, what kind of president do you think that these winds across the country at four 2024, and beyond. some of the more recognizable

names, to some of the ones that emerged on the scene like in florida with maxwell frost. >> charismatic, pragmatic, governors. key freedoms, reproductive rights, about elections, not allowing election deniers to take over their states. another name is jarred police in colorado. a former businessman who expanded his win and took republican parts of the state that he did not win in the previous election. he defended abortion rights and other key issues to democrats, but also talked about bringing out crime, the economy. so we have seen this in american politics, among governors emerging. bill clinton, george w. bush, and they come forward. i think that the second biggest story in a few months will be the democrats. will joe biden run again? will one of the names the you mentioned, if biden doesn't choose to run. which of these democrats will be the nominee in 2024. >> 2024 is a long time away in

politics, anything can happen. obviously, the lesson that democrats are going to take away from this, obviously there's a playbook for them now. what do you think the democrats need to do to keep this momentum going for the next two years? >> their playbook is pretty much exactly what went on for the last couple of weeks. focus on abortion rights, focus on individual freedoms. you can live your own life. where is republican sort of shooed any idea of moderation from their party. charlie baker in massachusetts, he did not run again. he was replaced by a much further right candidate, and then got walloped by -- up there in massachusetts. in florida, all they're doing is throwing all of the eggs in the culture war baskets. ron desantis here, and he is really digging into the whole book banning and trans -- all of this wild culture war stuff. i just don't think that's where the country is headed, and

democrats tried to make that distinction pretty clear this last week. >> as we have been talking over the last couple of days, we've been mentioning many firsts in these midterms. transmitted to the new hampshire state legislature, james rosen or, the first black woman elected to congress in pennsylvania. massachusetts, keena kotek of oregon. being the first out lesbian governor. many others when you consider state legislators, muslims being -- your reaction to these historic winds and what it means for democracy going forward. >> one of the greatest signs of the strength of our democracy is that there are so many that will try to attack it. the democracy has always been about solving a problem of how we live together across our differences, and solve our problems. what we have seen is candidates who know and understand that. and also know the experiences

have a much more diverse swath of people. one of the things that we should know, even in the gubernatorial races, gretchen whitmer was a very strong candidate and governor. she also had gilchrist, the lieutenant governor, a black man, as somebody who is also younger and going to represent that. and in maryland, not only is it a big deal that 44-year-old west boyd won, but he chose as his running mate for lieutenant governor a rude at miller, who was the first immigrant woman of color to serve as lieutenant governor of maryland. what it shows us is exactly what we have always known, in communities of color, and in communities that have been historically marginalized, we've got capacity, we've got hard, and we know what people need, and that's what we need to see. and continuing to build the

pipeline, for any party. giving rise to -- the get wise to unity, get wise to understanding the human condition and experience. just building the bench that looks like this country. >> they quickly, our republican circles on the chat formed the you track for disinformation online, responding to this week's events. i know there's probably an entire spectrum of responses, but what is it that you are tracking it is catching your attention at this moment? what is the conspiracy out there that is really feeling some of this? this was all planned right? >> the whole thing was rigged. look, i've heard some wacky stuff, and obviously there is plenty of wacky stuff out there for how they control the weather, the rain in nevada, i've read all of that stuff. i will say that in those spaces, they are having a come to jesus moment about donald trump. they've done this times in the past, they come right back to them. it feels a little bit different this time.

there is a ready and willing substitute here in ron desantis who can take the reins. i don't even know if that's where most of the party is, but right now in that space, they are open to some change. not changing how they feel about stuff, but change in terms of who they're taking directions from. >> we'll see how that plays out on tuesday, if he does advance that he's going to run again. we want to end this on a very optimistic note, let's talk about the youth vote. we know the young voters really showed up for this election. in the guardian, democratic strategist joe trippy said the younger generation is emerging with different ideas, who are not necessarily connected to the old ways of doing things. your final thought to close this out for us. what impact would these young voters and their newly elected candidates have on our democracy going forward? >> they will change our society and they are buying into the peaceful transfer of power, i'm glad you brought it egypt earlier.

that's a tragedy, what's happening there and others. i am hopeful, it's a miracle that we have these elections, and if republicans win, the new republican governor now. the senate was won by a democrat. i'm thrilled that these new people are believing in democracy, and participating in democracy. >> i share that sentiment with you, i believe that the children of the future. i also believe that they will make america a better place if they continue to vote the way that he did. maya wiley, ben collins, david rohde, always a pleasure. thank you for joining us. we'll be back in a moment with a preview of tonight's msnbc film, from devil's bathtub, go anywhere. anywhere customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need!
