♪ ♪ ♪ >> good evening, welcome to politicsnation. tonight's lead, senseless violence. ♪ ♪ ♪ right now the nations trying to make sense of another senseless

act of mass violence. and tears are falling tonight in colorado springs, colorado. as authorities are trying to establish a motive for last night's mass shooting at a lgbtq+ nightclub. that's left five people dad, at this hour nearly two dozens injured. police have a suspect in custody tonight, president biden condemning the attack. though no word yet on whether the incident will be assessed as a hate crime. of course, we'll update you on the latest developments throughout the hour. in washington right now, democrats are doing the work that comes with embracing the future. two weeks after a midterm election that saw the -- weather or red storm that never actually fell, long time house democratic leaders led by speaker nancy pelosi, are stepping aside to allow another

generation to rise up. and now new york congressman hakeem jeffries, who i've known well more than 25 years. is poised to become the first black man to lead the house democratic caucus. and with that -- as the minority party in the next congress. of course, those priorities will hinge on the level of obstruction we can expect from our forthcoming house gop majority. that has already singled a platform of vengeance against the biden administration is forthcoming. and how much senate republicans will be able to help block and counter that obstruction, is somewhat dependent on whether reverend raphael warnock is able to hold off herschel walker in georgia state, and in the georgia stand it brian mary. in two weeks away. speaking of platforms of vengeance, the reinstatement of

donald trump's twitter account this weekend. that's some wondering if chaos will follow the former president, yet to jump back on the social media app, days after his 2024 announcement. with excitement, coming from the trump return, we'll see. all asked former trump white house official omarosa manigault newman, in just a bit. but first, joining me now is senator sen. debbie stabenow, michigan satinder, democrat from michigan. senator, thank you for joining us tonight, and will began to this week's to politics straight ahead but of course i want to ask you your response first, to the mass shooting in the nightclub in colorado springs last night. at least five people dead at this hour, 18 people confirmed,

a suspect currently in custody. police confirming that a rifle was received from the scene. federal prosecutor have yet to publicly classify the shooting as a hate crime. what president biden weighed in, calling it a continuation of violence, fazed by members of lgbtq+ community in recent years. as a senator who watch this current senate passed the most substantial gun legislation in generations, what more can be done by what what will remain a democratic majority senate, to reduce the kind of violent gun crime that took at least five lives in colorado springs last night? >> first, reverend al, it's wonderful to be with you. i so support. and i appreciate your voice and your advocacy. and how incredible that at the same time this is a horrible,

horrible violence. has occurred, at the same time we're moving forward to protect marriage equality, same sex marriage, and we're gonna get that done when we come back after thanksgiving. to make sure that it's very clear in our country with [inaudible] that you can marry who u.s.. that's a basic. freedom >> at the same time we have a situation, i don't even know what to say, obviously thoughts and prayers with we need not only until double down on what's happening but certainly on gun violence, we made a step forward it was meaningful. because there hadn't been a step in 30 years. but it was not enough, we knew that, we said that at the time. we not only -- strength we need in my judgment, to have a ban on assault weapons. the assault weapons have one

purpose. it's to kill people. that's. a i'm gonna state that's known for hunting, we -- for ten years, they still kept hunting. nobody stop them from that. this is critical that we move forward and do more on gun safety. >> every time some of these things occur it just bothers me that we become numb as americans. many of our civil rights groups including my -- action network, and others put out a statement tonight. we just had a hate crime summit two months ago at the white house with president biden. here we are, we haven't seen unannounced to be, but it could be another hate crime and then on top of that, or beside at the problem of assault weapons. it just becomes something that really, really bothers me that we're almost normalizing.

at here is, another one and move on. go ahead. >> i need to add, reverend, all i agree i'm adding another layer to this. what's happened in social media, the other layer to this is the former president, donald trump, who unleashed and somehow gave permission to a whole range of hate, that may have been there, but it's now been allowed to flourish, all of the social media efforts around this. it's a very, scary time as a result of what's been allowed to work or. >> you wouldn't be talking about the same former president donald trump that was just reinstating on twitter. a leave that alone for now. i want to bring you into this conversation. and i wonder what you can tell us about conversations in the senate right now. around the changing of the -- in the house right now.

chaspeaker nancy pelosi's resigning from leadership, hakeem jeffries making his bid to become house minority leader. becoming the first black man -- democratic caucus. do you get the impression that this will happen, senator, what are you hearing? >> well, reverend al. my efforts have -- i was so fortunate to work directly with the speaker when i was in the house for four years on so many different issues. and to now benefit from her leadership, her partnership, on so many issues not only health care, but i share the agriculture and nutrition committee. she and i have been warriors together for children, and school meals and summer meals and what needs to happen. when she says take upon, to give a punch for the children, she really means that. i've been proud to be her partner giving and taking those

punches on that. she's incredible, incredible. and to see that she has the vision and leadership, and commitment to the caucus, to the country to be able to now handoff to another person who will make history, hakeem jeffries, it will do an extraordinary job and to see the house democratic leadership, not only care about democracy but be committed to the future, what is best about our country's, and be willing to open doors for others and to coach them. and to be willing to be part of the change that most of the country -- i think it's exciting. i'm just very proud. >> senator, i need to remind our viewers. despite senate democrats retaining the majority after these midterms. the final configuration of the next senate hinges on a georgia

senate race, that's about two weeks out from a runoff. both candidates in that race, senator raphael warnock and republican challenger, herschel walker, campaigning vigorously. of course it goes without saying, a 51 seat majority would be better than a 50 seat majority. democrats already have secured from january, but still i wonder if you can tell our audience, why georgia is so important for democratic priorities in the next senate? >> first of all, reverend, al senator roy next just a terrific senator. from day one, he has been leading on efforts on health care, the whole reason we're gonna have a 35-dollar cap starting in january, of insulin for seniors, for anyone on medicare, such with his vision. i can tell you as a chair of the agriculture committee, when he came in he wanted to talk to

me about fairness and equity. for farmers of made a huge diffn issue after issue. and he's about georgia. we tease him all the time. george is on his mind. so, it's somebody who loves georgia. he loves eric country, and the fact that we have not only from his leadership, is that by having 50, one we not only are not in a situation where one senator can decide to hold everything up because of their own personal priorities. but it changes the way we do business in terms of the committees, right now the committees are tied into membership. it's 50/50, being able to have a majority means there's fewer procedural steps we need to go through to get things to the floor. it means we can move things more quickly. and frankly, when we're looking at moving forward. not just protecting democracy. and projecting our freedoms.

we're gonna continue to be laser focused on lowering costs, creating good paying jobs, keeping communities safe, and haven't reverend warnock, having senator warnock, having a 51 member in the senate will make all the difference. >> all right, i want to thank you as always, senator, for being with us. switching now the focus on three major developments regarding former president donald trump. joining me now is omarosa manigault newman, former white house senior adviser to president trump. and author of, unhinged, an insiders account of the trump white house. miss manigault newman, always a pleasure to have you with us. when i saw the several things happening, i right away told our i -- want to talk to i'm rosa. she knows how they think in trump land. even though you clearly left,

-- >> right on time. >> even with your former boss, donald trump, now in the crosshairs of the special counsel. that's been appointed this week by attorney general, merrick garland, in connection with the dual criminal folds by the justice department. you know i need to start with the reinstatement of the twitter account that i mentioned. twitter's -- elon musk, announcing the decision saturday, after holding a vote. among twitter users to let trump back on. after he's he was banned from the risk of further incitement of violence, after january six. of course, trump has yet to actually tweet, saying he's not interested in returning to the site. that he plans to stick with his own social media platform, truth social. as a former trump white house official, who handled median communications at times with

them, do you expect that to last now that he's running for president again. and if he does indeed return, are you worried about further incitement of violence? >> reverend sharpton, thanks for having me on. and absolutely, we know that donald trump used twitter to incite the violence we saw on january six. he utilizes it to make sure that people in his circle knew what he wanted them to do. and how he wanted them to do. it i'm very surprised that elon musk voiced -- to reinstate him. but when you ask, will donald trump tweet, absolutely. it was key to his victory, first presidential run, it was key when he tried unsuccessfully to run the second time. and i do see that donald trump will utilized winner in his third attempt to go back to the white house. >> back to that other big news in trump world this weekend. attorney general garland's appointment of a special counsel to decide former president trump should be charged in connection with the

mar-a-lago classified document case, or the january 6th insurrection. you were serving the trump white house when the special counsel, robert mueller, was appointed to investigate russian election interference how do you think donald trump was reacting behind the scenes to this announcement. what can we expect from here in the coming days? i have to tell you, the investigation was exhausting. having to interview with that committee and just seeing how that unfolded. it will take a lot out of you. running for president for the presidency is exhausting in and of itself. do you have all of these investigations going on at the same time, donald trump is really showing that he has obstacles that his opponents may not have. i will say that knowing how he thinks, he's going to utilize this to say, look, they are attacking. leigh they are coming after me on fairly. i will remind your audience, during the first election donald trump not only called

for investigations of hillary clinton, he led a chant that said locker. up now the tables have turned. it is donald trump's chance to see what it's like to be under all these investigations while running for the presidency. maybe the chances will be turned on him. >> while we have time, there are many people i want to hear from more right now than you. five days after donald trump confirmed he's making a third bid for the white house in 2024, what went through your mind when you saw the announcement? what would you say is the logic, if you can call it that, going through his mind right now? >> he only announced this early because he wanted protections from the investigations that he's going through. when i say protection, he wants a scapegoat. he wants this a, the tragic loving him, they're going to announce i'm going to run to the white house. when i have to point out, and you may have noticed, this, rev and held a third shaky.

was this was a dull donald trump. he didn't look like he was in it. there was no energy. it is complete opposite form when he came down that elevator the first time he announced. i think what you are seeing from donald trump is someone who exhausted. who is tired. who is fighting so many fights on so many fronts. he's not going to be the same candidate that won in 2016. you will see someone who just doesn't have it anymore. he is not the same donald trump. >> final question, i know that you live in florida. in your view, is donald trump intimidated by ron desantis and the republican matchup? what would a 2024 primary loss mean for the former president? assuming the many investigations in it were all derailed, somehow fruitless. what is your experience telling you? what would happen when a trump and desantis matchup? will howard the former

president respond? >> i know both of these individuals. i met governor ron desantis at mar-a-lago. that was the first time i talked to. him i remember saying to him, that guy has something about him. it is why donald trump endorsed him. to see them go head to head is going to be brutal. donald trump is going to try to tear him down. we've already seen the attack start. the battle with that in, florida i have to give the advantage to rhonda sanchez. he has a clear message. he has more momentum. i think he connects more with the base. donald trump is going to be extremely intimidated and he's going to pull out every single one of his tricks in his bag to try to undercut rhonda sanchez's candidacy. by the way i'm looking forward to seeing your film this weekend. >> yeah, it's coming out, thank you for the mention. i am glad you came on. i really wanted to get your feelings on all of this trump news happening this week.

amara's the new man, thank you for coming on. the struggle against injustice continues even as the holiday approaches. how we can rise up and remain vigilant. later, twitter becomes and welcomes former president trump just days after he announced a third run for the white house. his reaction to the news may surprise you. first, my colleague richard louis with the days of -- >> good sunday to you. a 22-year-old suspect now in police custody tonight after opening fire inside an lgbtq+ nightclub. police did not identify a motive. they are investigating it as a hate crime. at least five people were killed. 25 injured. ecuador beat host country qatar 2 to 0 in the opening match of the 2022 fifa world cup today. more teams face off tomorrow in the month long tournament. england versus iran, senegal

sit down with family and friends to celebrate thanksgiving and usher in the holidays. it is a welcome break. there are a few stories that are too important for us to ignore until the new year. firstly, i'm thinking of britney griner. it was reported this week the wnba star was transferred to a penal colony in russia where she's sentenced to spend nine

years for drug charges. i remain deeply concerned about miss griner's safety and well-being. and continue to call for her at re-lease and return to the u.s.. at the minimum, the russian government should allow for a delegation of faith leaders that i want to lead to visit with miss griner face to face and offer her comfort during these difficult times. i'm also thinking of the hundreds of migrants in asylum the seekers who have been bussed across this country by republican governors looking to score political points. you might think now that the election is over. governors like desantis and abbott might have better things to do. just last week, texas bragged they had dispatched their 300 bus of migrants. on wednesday, a bus load of 30 migrants arrived in philadelphia and one of the passengers had to be rushed to the hospital.

a ten year old girl and i've been packed into the bus with a high fever and suffered severe dehydration. we must continue to demand and and this barbaric practice. and offer our support to government agencies and charities who are doing what they can to provide sanctuary to these migrants who are just as human as you are i. last but not least, i am thinking of the electoral act. it is not the comprehensive vote of rights meditation many of us wanted. it is still out reform we desperately need to pass before it is too late. the bipartisan bell clarifies and strengthens the rules around counting votes and certifying election. rules president trump tried to distort and exploit after the 2020 election. with the former president announcing another run from the

white house, senate republican majority hostile with voting rights taking over the house in january, we only have a few more weeks to enshrine this important fix into law. and i wish all of you a happy thanksgiving and i hope you have a chance for some well earned rest and relaxation. i also urge you, i urge that you take a few moments to rise up and keep fighting on these issues and other important issues. for those of us in the struggle, hard work and never takes a holiday. we will be right back. my most important kitchen tool? my brain. so i choose neuriva plus. unlike some others, neuriva plus is a multitasker supporting 6 key indicators of brain health. to help keep me sharp.

visit findahandspecialist.com today to get started. a lot has happened last weekend. even overnight. let's turn to my political panel for their analysis. joining me now is former department of homeland security chief of staff during the trump administration, miles taylor. former chair of the maryland

democratic party mario cummings. let's start with your former boss. as of last night will have his twitter account statement after new twitter ceo elon moos took a poll on the app. from his own personal account that supposedly got 15 million votes, trump has trump was banned days after the capitol insurrection from incitement of violence. if that isn't bad enough he, has used twitter to spread false information about covid, hurled racist and sexist insults toward all kind of people and lie over and over again about certified election results. now trump has said in the past he would not rejoin twitter if was he was reinstated. he has been relying on as much

-- miles, you worked with the man. do you think trump will return to twitters rangers rhetoric like before? what implications does this have heading into the 2024 election cycle? >> well, rev, how could he not? you know the same donald trump that i know. this is a man who does not shy away from a spectacle. if there is an opportunity to get millions of eyeballs, he will take it. i don't think there's any conceivable theory in which donald trump does not start to use his twitter account again. maybe he links back to his true social account. he cannot avoid having that audience. now, i'll add an asterisk to this. i sort of question the results of that poll. this is the same elon musk who took over twitter saying the platform was consumed by bots. in the government, i saw foreign adversaries like the russians using this service to

sow disinformation. you wonder whether the poll was legitimate. all of that aside, your question about what this means for trump, i can't see anything other than this helping trump. this is actually going to help trump coalesce his support and drive attention. you and i remember when he had twitter access, before every day it forced republicans to answer for his comments in a gave him a platform to keep it alive. and what is going to do. he's going to use it to coalesce his support. he's going to use it to go on the attack. unfortunately, people are going to help but look at it. >> it's not only going to knock democrats in, line he's going to try to keep some of the republicans that have said they're not going to support him in 24 and ron desantis says, he will be using it a lot of different ways. maya is having difficulties. i'm going to stay with you, miles. this, week nancy pelosi announced she would not seek

reelection for speaker of the house. of role she's had spanning over decades. now hakeem jeffries will succeed her. the first black man to hold top party leadership in the house. this would represent a generational shift of leadership. now, how might the democratic party look different under mr. jeffries? >> first and foremost, rev., he is a young guy. i think that's a good thing for the party. it's joe biden's birthday. i'm sure we'll talk about that. he became an octogenarian today. hakeem jeffries is almost half of the presidents age. that's really good for the democrats to put young leadership is as the host to utah. someone's going to bring a lot of vigor into this job. anyone who has followed jeffries knows this. he is a powerful figure. he is a force to be reckoned with. he has two qualities that you know, rev, he needs to be a minority leader in the house.

he can unify the various factions of the democratic caucus, the progressives all the way to the moderates. and he is a fighter. and that's what they're going to need. i've worked in the minority before on the republican side. when you're in the minority, you have to be prepared to fight for every. and she's the type of person that can do that and that has the energy to do that. the democrats have very smartly picked akeem jeffries or soon will likely pick him for that to top post. he has not secured it officially yet. >> he is unified. he is a fighter. i can attest to both. miles, while the passing of the -- takes place in the house, president biden, as you, said, as you've said celebrates his 88th birthday today. this milestone has had speculation around the presidents age. if he is fit to serve a second term. if reelected, biden would be inaugurated at the age of 82. worth noting, if former president trump were reelected,

he would assume office irish soldier's. biden has indicated that he will run again. we will wait to announce the decision early next year. miles, is a biden run in 2024 likely? how significant is the concern. many people including some democrats -- >> well, i've talked to quite a few people around the president, close allies of. has they seem to think that or joe biden means what he says. he thinks he's one of the few people, if not the only person, that can beat donald trump because he's done it before. so, he said that, he's continued to say that in recent weeks to allies. it's a very real possibility that he does. it he's taking the role seriously. i do have concerns about an 80 year old joe biden running against a 70 or old donald

trump. that said, look, i worked with donald trump. i think a blowup doll would be more qualified to be president of the united states. even if joe biden is getting older, i still think he's vastly more qualified than trump. it is really worth considering opening up the field to some younger blood to go after trump and to knock him off of his game. that is something that the current president will be taking into the holidays and consulting close friends and family about. >> miles, an article published yesterday i -- split ticket voters as a significant reason for the democratic -- sites like new hampshire and nevada where democratic senators were elected despite republicans winning the governor's races. the article furthered that this election was a collective rebuke of republican senate nominees. particularly those trump endorsed. it is this further evidence that this year's election was a

reckoning for voters against trump? >> well, it was a reckoning, rev. i would also say that this ticket splitting trend that we are seeing is one of the things that gives me a lot of encouragement right now about our democracy. there's not a lot of bright lights. the ticket splitting goes hand in hand with another phenomenon we've been seeing. it is coalition campaigning. we have been seeing republicans go campaigned for moderate democrats like liz cheney did. we've seen moderate democrats go support the handful of moderate republicans that been fighting to keep their seats and fighting against maga. the voters are listening to that. they are taking action by splitting their votes and voting against the bad guys on the ballot and supporting the good guys even though they are on different sides of the aisle. this is something we have done with the forward. party go out there and advocate for people across the political spectrum that are rational, principled folks fighting against the extremes. so, this is something that gives me hope. i think that silver lining,

hopefully, will expand into a silver sky when we get into 2024. it's going to take a hell of a lot of work. >> all right, miles, we are sorry for the tech problems that we had with maya. thank you, miles. kirby was not. the, family that served together. our next guest is dedicated public service. what is hard for a congressional win and, what it will mean for his constituents. we will be right back. l be right back. my brain. so i choose neuriva plus. unlike some others, neuriva plus is a multitasker supporting 6 key indicators of brain health. to help keep me sharp. neuriva: think bigger. moderate-to-severe eczema. it doesn't care if you have a date, a day off, or a double shift. make your move and get out in front of eczema with steroid-free cibinqo. not an injection,

cibinqo is a once-daily pill for adults who didn't respond to previous treatments. and it's proven to help provide clearer skin and relieve itch fast. cibinqo continuously treats eczema whether you're flaring or not. cibinqo can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. before and during treatment, your doctor should check for infections and do blood tests. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b or c, have flu-like symptoms, or are prone to infections. do not take with medicines that prevent blood clots. serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma, lung, skin and other cancers, serious heart-related events, and blood clots can happen. people 50 and older with heart disease risk factors have an increased risk of serious heart-related events or death with jak inhibitors. it's time to get out in front of eczema. ask your doctor about once-daily cibinqo.

there's a different way to treat hiv. it's every-other-month, injectable cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by my healthcare provider, every other month. it's one less thing to think about while traveling. hiv pills aren't on my mind. a quick change in my plans is no big deal. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding,

or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. every other month, and i'm good to go. ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva. welcome back to politicsnation.

my next guest is a newly elected member of congress. his first experience in congressional politics was working for legendary michigan congressman john who helped found the congressional black caucus. joining me now is congressman -elect goes over, democrat of maryland. welcome to the show. i want my audience to know that you ran for congress in 2012 dropped out due to fundraising issues. he ran again in 2016 but lost in the primaries. this time, you won. i also want to mention that your wife jolene served on the county council and spent eight years in the house of delegates. your son julian serves in the

state house. what is pushing you and driving you so badly that you want to be a public servant? >> i have been blessed by public service. i came from rocky mountain, or carolina. we were still living and a segregated era. the civil rights movement change the environment. my dad could get that job with the manpower during the lbj ministration. my mom could teach and all the schools instead of being limited. it really had an impact on my life. i want to give back. i think my family feels the same way. >> maryland has a black governor first-time and -- he was on the show last weekend. it also has anthony brown as the first black attorney general. you won his vacated seat represented maryland's fourth district. what is the urgent issue you see right now in black

communities, in maryland and nationwide. how would you helped with that? >> well, that's a great question. i think the big challenges with respect to the economy. inflation has been a huge challenge. gas is too high. groceries have been too high. i think the biden administration has taken steps to help address that. the fed has been pushing on interest rates. i'm starting to get worried they're going to push it too hard into her session. hopefully, they will find the right way to thread the needle. they will scale that back. the other part, to we've had issues like growing the economy, getting people to be part of it. getting their jobs in opportunities there. student debt has been a huge issue. i was pleased to see the prescription drug steps taken. the road decision, trying to find ways to make sure we protect reproductive rights.

those are all challenges we got and going forward. >> you are a former federal prosecutor, and a former white-collar defense attorney. you are achieving legal counsel of the democrats. i know you are hoping to be assigned to serve on the judiciary committee wants on congress. give me a take on the latest bombshell investigation into mar-a-lago, the case in the january six it is direction. >> i was pleased with the naming of the special prosecutor. i know there are mixed feelings about that. ling i thought it was the right move. hopefully what he will do is take over most of the fbi agents and prosecutors who have already been investigating january six and the mar-a-lago documents. he doesn't have to waste time getting up to speed and can move forward completing this investigation. my sense is that there is certainly enough to get forward and indictments on those charges.

whether they choose to do that are not, we will have to see. i think it's a good step in the right direction. hopefully they will move quickly to push it forward. >> at the jewish, the republican jewish coalition conference this weekend, some potential 2024 presidential hopefuls from the gop eluded that trump was not the future of the republican party. maryland governor larry hogan said that the voters had, quote, sends a clear message that they want to turn a page, and of quote. former new jersey governor chris christie who ran trump's transition team called on the party to, quote, to stop being afraid of any one person, and of quote. these are just a few samples of examples from what happened this weekend. is this yet another sign of the republican party severing ties with the former president donald trump? >> i know there's a lot of

leaders in the republican party that are finally trying to sever ties with them. i say finally because they are about for years too late. giving all the ridiculous criminal and shocking things that he did while he was in the white house. it is surprising that they waited this long. the problem that they got, there are still a lot of republicans who support the president, the former president. you are going to have to have a civil war basically to resolve that within the republican party. that's also reflected in the house caucus. we saw that last week with mccarthy trying to become the speaker. we're not getting enough votes to get there. i don't know what the republicans are going to do. i don't know if they're going to get on the same page. it's important for the democrats to continue being the adults in the room, moving the country in the right direction. >> all right, representative-elect glenn iv, thank you for being with us. up, next up first for politicsnation. i'm going to talk about soccer. stay with us.
