georgia between rafael warnock and republican herschel walker. with early voting ending last night, more than 1.8 million voters have already cast their ballot, including those voting absentee. we're not holding more events today after campaigning with former president barack obama on thursday. walker being joined on the campaign trail by south carolina senator lindsey graham this week as nbc news reports he is in desperate need for cash as questions swirl about where he actually lives. for more on all, this we turn to nbc news correspondent ivan hillier live in atlanta, georgia. good morning, don. >> good morning my dear friend. we are in a moment in which we are talking about the final major contest of 2022. for raphael warnock and herschel walker, the difference of today compared to last some days is, they can't tell voters to go to the polls today because early voting officially

ended yesterday on friday. record early voter turnout. every single day this week, you saw a record numbers compared to even 2020. in large part, why is that? it is because the runoff period has been truncated by a nearly whole month here. you recall back in 2020 when john ossoff and raphael warnock propelled to the u.s. senate victories, election day was january 5th of 2021. this time around, it is december 6th of 2022. that is why you're going to see this all out blitz, even though early voting is over for the weekend. voters are not going to be able to go out to the polls until tuesday. we are outside union hall in atlanta were in about two hours now, raphael warnock will be holding what we are told will be at a major rally, several hundred folks. we will now be headed over to the sec football championship game where we expect herschel walker to be out among tailgaters. for all intents and purposes, there is a hold on the politics

because georgia bulldogs are in the champion ship game today. the atlanta falcons play at home tomorrow. but you're mentioning also, katie, that cash disparity here. democrats have put everything into this. they have outspent pro walker forces by greater than 2 to 1 margin. you've also seen a democratic ground game here really at the heart of this warnock effort, trying to replicate what they did in the 2021 runoff when rough warnock won. there is always been this mistake or questions rather around democrats showing up for the special elections. in 2021, they proved that they do, they turn out in a greater show out then republicans and white voters here in the state of georgia. this is what gave them the two senate seats, now they need to do it again. in the words of president obama who is here two days ago, he said i'm asking georgians to come out one more time. >> thank you, my friend.

bond hillier in atlanta, georgia. now robert shift our focus to the house select committee. investigating january 6th. it is quickly running out of time for republicans to take over the house. right now, we are awaiting their crucial final written report. their decision on any possible referrals for dollar trump are awaiting. allie raffa is live on capitol hill for us this morning. ali, good morning. the committee met yesterday, friday, what can you tell us? >> katie, good morning. members were very tightlipped when we asked about any details from these two virtual meetings they had yesterday. to go over what is left on there to do list before they have to wrap up their work as a committee on december 31st. one of the things we know they must have talked about in those meetings is that final lengthy report that chairman bennie thompson says is likely going to be released before christmas. one big question looming over all of this is how exactly that report is going to be released.

the committee members have left open the door a possibility to potentially another public hearing to be able to present this information in a more digestible way to the public. another thing that committee members are going to have to decide on is, what is going to have to happen to president trump and those house republicans, including the likely next speaker of the house, kevin mccarthy who ignored the committee subpoenas for testimony for documents? should they face possible criminal referrals to the justice department? these are all things that committee members are still considering, still deciding on over the next few weeks before their power or as a committee dissolves on december 31st. big decisions that could really shake the legacy that this committee needs. >> ali, another big topic on the hill right now, democrats finally have their hands on trump's tax returns. so, what happens next? >> this was a long legal battle that ended this week when the

committee obtained six years a present donald trump's attacks returns. there is still a lot of secrecy, a lot of sensitivity around these documents by house democrats. there is a real feel of violating some serious disclosure laws. as a matter fact, we still don't know where exactly these documents are being stored and whether all committee members have had the chance to access them, to review them. the spotlight is really on democrats and this committee, whether they will make the decision to release these publicly. technically, they can if they vote as a committee to do so. whether they decide to do that is still really unclear. we know that that does take time, that's something the democrats on this committee are very in short supply of. remember, republicans will officially take over the majority in the house, therefore the majority and control over this committee on january 3rd, katie.

>> sounds like a race to the finish line, towards the end of the year. my thanks to you, allie raffa for being lived in d.c. for us. president joe biden racking up a series of big wins this week. yesterday, he signed a bill into law that averted a rail strike which could've cost beat you nine states economy two billion dollars a day. biden also celebrated a stronger than expected jobs report, showing the united states, its employers added 263,000 jobs in the month of november. they move closer to enacting biden's plan to make south carolina the first primary state which helped him clinch the democratic nomination in 2020. for more on all this, we turn to white house correspondent monica alba. >> katie, good morning. it wasn't president biden's preference to push congress to get involved in averting that rail strike, but in the end he said it was necessary to avoid economic catastrophe so close to the holidays. lawmakers really responded

swiftly, all while hosting the first state dinner of the biden administration with french president emmanuel macron this week. yes, that is big news on the political calendar front. a new plan of putting south carolina first would be a huge change to the traditional presidential trump primary system. i will any hampshire have gone first for decades. but there have long been calls to switch of the order to reflect more diverse electorates. that course only got louder after i was delayed democratic caucus results in 2020. we all remember that debacle, right? under this new proposal, south carolina would go first, president biden personally pushed for this. a key state, as you mentioned. under these proposed changes, new hampshire and nevada would follow on the same day three days after south carolina. then it would be georgia, then michigan, leaving iowa out of the early state contests entirely. this is a done deal yet, they have to approve it early next year when it meets before this becomes reality.

republicans, for their part, have already committed to the old order, keeping their iowa in new hampshire schedule, katie? >> nbc's monica alba, we thank you this morning. coming up, donald trump loses again after an appeals court scraps his special master review of documents seized from his mar-a-lago estate. as trump's legal losses pile up, how big of a setback is this latest ruling for trump? glenn kirschner is here. and later, world cup showdown, we listened to hours away from the highly intimidated match between the united states and the netherlands. will soccer stole christian poll 60 back on the pitch after a pretty serious injury? stay with us. us injury? stay with us stay with us ype 2 diabetes? discover the power of 3 in the ozempic® tri-zone. in my ozempic® tri-zone, i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. announcer: ozempic® provides powerful a1c reduction.

one legal decision made this we could have major consequences for two of the key figures involved, then trump and u.s. district court judge a lean can

in. a federal appeals court ruled that she overstepped when she granted trump for a review of the documents received at mar-a-lago. the court ordering that trump's case be dismissed. it is obviously a huge setback for trump that will allow federal investigators to move full steam ahead with their investigation. of course, trump still has the chance to appeal and we have seen him use that tactic repeatedly. we will get into what this means in a moment, but let's talk a little bit about judge cannon. take a look at some of the headlines in the aftermath of this decision. different outlets said kenya's ruling was evaporated and slammed, they point out the growing calls for her impeachment. canada represents one of the most significant legacies from the trump presidency, the sheer number of conservative judges now in place across the country. but all three of the judges on that panel were appointed by republican presidents with two of those judges being trump appointees. so, what does this week's ruling signal?

i'm glad to welcome my good friend, former federal prosecutor and legal analyst and the host of the podcast justice matters, glenn kirschner. glenn, good morning. thank you for being here. with the caveat that trump can and will likely appeal, where does the doj's investigation into the documents seized from mar-a-lago now go? seeing how a special master has been eliminated and we now have special counsel. >> i think most importantly, katie, this clears the deck for jack smith. let trump appeal, how many times recently has he tried to bubble up a case or an issue to the supreme court only to be a pretty quickly slap down. this appeal will go nowhere, but the good news is, jack smith and his prosecutorial team now have unfettered access to all the documents, all of the evidence of a crime that was seized from donald trump's florida home in mar-a-lago. i have to believe that they are

full speed ahead working towards indictments. >> glenn, there are some calls for judge cannon to be impeached. you and i as former prosecutors, and his lawyers, we know that sometimes judges just get it wrong. in this instance, it is not unfair to say that canada looks like she was an additional member of trump's legal team here. as the 11th circuit noted, it seems like judge cannon overstepped greatly. sometimes even inserting arguments on behalf of trump that didn't even exist. but really, glen, how realistic is it to expect judge cannon to face any professional repercussions for her bad rulings? >> katie, as you say, we both know judges sometimes get it wrong. but they usually don't get it lawless. that is what judge cannon did. she acted in a lawless way. i think the most devastating line in his whole 21-page opinion appears on page 20. if i could urge everybody to just read the few paragraphs on page 20 and 21 of this opinion,

it is about as close to an accord opinion comes to what i would call rule of law poetry. here is the one line that i think is devastating to judge cannon. the three judge court panel unanimously said, just because the search warrant was executed on the home of the former president, quote does not give the judiciary license to interfere in a criminal investigation. that is going to leave a mark, katie. that is a three judge appellate court panel saying, judge cannon acted in a way that was a lawless and she interfered in an ongoing criminal investigation, not just any investigation, one that has us national security implications. because of the nature of the documents so trump stole from the white house and unlawfully concealed at mar-a-lago. i don't see how that doesn't give rise to a judicial

misconduct investigation. now, can we expect the -controlled house to move away on articles of impeachment? unlikely, but there has to be an investigation of some sort of what prompted alien can into act lawlessly. >> you know, glenn, you are a busy man making sure that we understand everything that is going on. but you also sat through that oath keepers trial. another big headline this week, a jury, as you know, convicted oath keepers leader elmer, i love saying that part by the way, people always say stewart, elmer stewart rhodes in one of his associates for seditious conspiracy in connection with january 6th. glenn, this is a case that you've been tracking closely. what stood out to you that our viewers need to know about this verdict, what does this mean for the doj's trump investigation? >> probably the single biggest takeaway is the federal

prosecutors have been vindicated. not that that is our job to look for vindication when we make a decision to bring a difficult case and challenging case, a politically-charged case. the jury sought the prosecutors, they believe they had enough evidence to meet their burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. the oath keepers, this organization committed a crime of seditious conspiracy. they violently tried to overthrow the government, they tried to violently tried to resist the laws of the united states, which is precisely what they did. they tried to stop the certification of joe biden's presidential win. this will embolden, it will energize the federal prosecutors because katie, this week coming up, there is part two of the oath keepers trial. we saw that infamous military formation going into the capitol. this trial only held

accountable half of that stack. the other half of the oath keepers stack is coming up for trial next week. the proud boys are coming up in their seditious conspiracy trial. these verdicts i'm quite sure will inspire all of those descendants who are pending trial to perhaps think about reopening plea negotiations, maybe with cooperation. i think is gonna have a ripple effect and those ripples may now ensnare people like roger stone, alex jones, mike flynn, and others who were closely aligned with the oath keepers. with the proud boys. we don't know where those ripples will stop, but this is a good development, not just for the prosecutors but for the american people and for democracy. >> glenn, when i have legal analysts like you who are so in tune with what is going on, i want to ask the following question. you don't get have an explanation, yet to give an

answer. you get three options to answer. don trump is gonna be convicted first on, mar-a-lago documents, 16, or fani willis down in georgia in folsom county. what is your pick? >> mar-a-lago documents crimes. that frankly poses an ongoing threat to our nation security. >> boom goes the dynamite, then kushner, my friend, i always have you here because justice matters. thank you for joining us this morning as always. coming up, rapper kanye west's unapologetic praise for hitler may have crossed a line of the gop. it took them long enough. but where is the accountability for the party that enabled this man and his extremist views for years? you are watching the katie show. u are watching the katie show show this is gloria. she hasn't worked this hard to only get this far with her cholesterol.

west if you didn't know stunned the world this week when he praised adolf hitler during an interview on infowars. it was an extreme combination of nearly a decade of antisemitic comments, some getting as far back as 2013. but what isn't shocking is how we got here. the republican party legitimizing him and his nonsensical views ever since he threw support behind donald trump in 2016. two years later, trump invited ye to the oval office and it's not a hyperbole to say that it was one of the most bizarre events ever hosted from a president's office. in october, fox news and tucker carlson held up ye as a champion of a conservative views after he wore a white lives matter shirt to paris fashion week. it was later revealed that the interview that was aired was edited to leave out ye's many negative comments about jewish

people. then came this tweet from the gop house judiciary committee, tanya, elon, trump. seeming to affirm that these three unholy trinity perfectly represents the modern republican agenda. that was up for nearly two months, two months. even when the rapper brought a holocaust denying white supremacist friend to mar-a-lago to break bread with donald trump, who some consider to still be the leading gop presidential candidate for 2024. that gop judiciary committee tweet was finally deleted after ye's pro hitler's remarks. the anti-defamation league found 2021 have the highest number of antisemitic incidents in the united states since 1979. with 2022 on track for similar numbers. while some republicans are now publicly condemning a, i'm left wondering, where is the accountability when it comes to those who enabled him and those who continue not to speak out against the antisemitism?

this morning, and welcoming back to our show rabbi very silver of the congregation. rabbi, thank you for being here. it is always a pleasure to have you, i want to start with that tweet from the gop house judiciary committee. that stayed up into kanye and up on infowars with alex jones. that in and of itself should have been a discrediting moment. that tweet stayed up until kanye said that he was loving adolf hitler, don't think there's anything wrong. do you think that enabling of him, do you think it's an endorsement of some sources that the gop is not completely swearing off of someone like ye? >> think you for having me. absolutely, the republican party has now become the not see party. they can do not see the fascism, to not see the antisemitism, do not see the insurrection, do not see the lies, to not see the outrageous. we know from history, when you

pretend to not see evil, you are complicit. it takes you over. the republican party has become the modern day not a c party. they even have desantis passing and antisemitic law which criminalizes jewish law on abortion. the attorneys have the audacity to say, we don't get a hearing as juice to come in and argue our case, they're saying we shouldn't be able to be heard. the first step towards antisemitism in a society is to criminalize jewish law. that is what the republicans are doing with their abortion laws. this is no bridge. the republican party, but not speaking up, is now implicated they, are complicit and the entire party is now going to be brought down. what is astonishing is that they would elevate someone like donald trump. the only honest thing he did was when he went down --

deutschland uber all this was the slogan for not to germany. in english, that is america first. america first is georgetown huber first. america first was the policy of antisemites and neo-nazis in the united states that tried to keep us out of world war ii. they were allies of hitler and trump use that as the slogan. trump on international holocaust day didn't mention jews. he is a holocaust denier. what is absolutely outrageous is not only that the party was silent and complicit in being part of a nasty party, but jewish people, jewish republicans have put up with one outrage after another. finally, it's all jewish ideals, everything that we believe in about being kind, about being just, about being fair, it is all acceptable to them. trump said, i can get away with

it. maybe for his diluted followers, maybe for his legions of lunatics and his armies of the absurd, his battalions of brainwash people, maybe they will allow him. our society never should because we saw what happened in germany to the not see party. they brought down the entire government and society. it is said that those who bless the jews will be blessed, those who cursed jews will be cursed. the republican party is cursed. the united states better not follow suit with that, we have to speak up and repudiate that immediately. we too will be brought down. we saw in rome when they persecuted views and destroyed the temple. the society collapsed. we saw in spain when they achieved great heights of civilization, expel jews, and the society collapsed. we saw it in germany, they were the most culture country and they went after the juice, the country was destroyed.

now, it is in america. america has to decide, are we going to condemn antisemitism and speak up religious leaders. where are the religious leaders? they are silent and complicit. many of them are actually going along with trying to impose a christian the all chrissy in america. that is what happened in not see germany. we know what happens when the christian theocracy, our founding fathers knew, that's why they erected a lot of separation. desantis tried to bring down that wall very graphically. as the head of state, he joined a church to abolish jewish abortion laws and abortion laws for everyone else. the founding fathers understood that if there's no separation of church and state, then all of our rights and all of our freedoms are gone. the republican party is trying to impose a christian theocracy on all of us. that will bring down our nation and destroy our democracy.

i'm glad that president trump is finally starting to be held accountable. not all of us will allow him to shoot our democracy and get away with it. >> rabbi, i'm speechless because everything you say is powerful. we need to do something. i don't have a lot of time left with you. what is the solution, rabbi? it is history repeating itself. we are on that path, i do not want to see what happens, there's so much faith, what we do? >> if you don't understand your history, you are doomed to repeat it. we have to do is something that is radical. we have to have rational faith. the western religions, judaism, christiane e., and is alum were arguing over whose imagining father in the sky chose them to replace them. that that was originally from christiane italy, christian said, we replace the jews, the covenant is out with us. and then islamic came along and

said, no, they are now with us. the conspiracy theory, the original conspiracy theory was that juice conspired with the father the devil and the ruling powers of this roman empire crucified cheeses. it made up a story about a prisoner, it is a lie. they came up with a guy who supposedly betrayed it jesus. his name was judas, which is latin for due. so i say, as a due, i repudiate the chosen people concept. god is a better parent. to choose one group over another, it is outrageous. we are now killing each other over asian literature. i would say this to rabbi. these myths about jesus, about the jewish myth of joe's moses. islamic myths of muhammad, if we allow ourselves to accept this as true, we will be killing each other and we will be misled, misguided, misinformed, massaging the

stick, and will totally missed the boat as far as getting it right. we need rational faith in ideals. we need to not say that god shows us, religious need to choose to see ourselves as one family and see our highest religious ideal to protect this incredible planet and all of its inhabitants. >> ayman, thank you rabbi silver for joining us. we have to speak on this, silence is complicity. >> thank you for what you're doing to bring us to light, i appreciate it. >> after our break, president biden receiving praise from an unlikely source. that is new king birch. what a saturday morning is standing by. we'll tell you what the former house speaker is saying and his warning to the gop. right now, you're looking live at the international space station. 250 miles above planner earth. astronauts there are just beginning a seven-hour spacewalk to increase

newkirk has a stark warning for republicans. president joe biden is winning and they need to stop underestimating him. in a new opinion piece, english rights quote, conservatives hostility to the biden administration tend to bind us to how effective biden has been

on his terms, in just under two years, biden has signed into law the unprecedented 9 million dollar investment plan to help combat covid. he secured the passage of the largest infrastructure investment in united states history, signed the most sweeping gun reform bill since the clinton administration. he made the largest investment to combat climate change ever. president joe biden was able to do all of that with the country split into. while also having one of the best midterm performances for a party in power in u.s. history. what do republicans need to do to regain power? newt gingrich says the party needs to entirely rethink how they are going to defeat democrats and quote, looked much more deeply at what worked and what didn't work in 2020 and 2022. let's bring in mice out it morning panel, democratic strategist basil, and republican strategist susan. good morning both my friends. thank you for being here.

susan, i like to start with you this morning. do you agree with newt gingrich that the problem for republicans is that they have underestimated joe biden? or frankly, are the lack of republican policies the real problem? >> i would say yes, yes, and add to the fact that the candidates who have been running in 2020 and 2022, and in the trump factor. i think what newt gingrich, trump is a problem. extremism is a problem. americans will choose confident governance, even if they don't agree with all policies over incompetent extremism. i think that is one thing that newt gingrich should've added, but maybe wasn't prepared to do. it is an honest assessment. i've been saying for over a year, the successes that joe biden has had have made him one of the most effective presidents, whether we like it or not. let me just add, those

successes will be seen in 2023 and 2024. democrats run for reelection, including maybe joe biden himself. when we look at prescription drugs lowered for seniors, they are going to see you next year. infrastructure, they are going to see those shovels in the ground next year and in 2024. so, i think newt gingrich was right, but he didn't go far enough. >> basil, building on this team, congressional chair told political quote, he was not my first choice for president, but i am a convert. i never thought i would say this, but i believe he should run for another term and finish this agenda we have laid out. it's some democrats, not just republicans, did some democrats also underestimate joe biden? >> absolutely. look, nothing succeeds like success. while joe biden ian, to some parts of the democratic party

may not have been able to accomplish all they wanted, he was able to deliver on more than they thought he could. that is incredibly important, particularly for a president who campaigned on bringing back some version of normalcy. to be able to have pushed through the legislation that he did and be able to do that by, in some a contrast. talking to a voter, whether it's in the midterms, 2023, 2024, the key here is to draw the contrast. look at the choices that you have, you want someone, you want a party who is governing and actually producing legislation and policy, or party on the right that is doing something completely different. >> you know, susan, trump on thursday publicly supporting insurrectionists, saying that they were treated unconstitutionally, very

unfairly. trump dined with andy some matt kanye west. he uses qanon music at his rallies. he's facing criticism, but instead of pivoting, trump just doubles down and even more openly embraces the extreme right. susan, has trump shedded any pretense that he stands for anything moderate anymore? >> i never thought he stood for anything, so except for himself and trying to win whatever it took. it is not surprising to see him go to the extreme because he knows that is the only lane, even though i don't think you will be on a ballot in 2024, that if he were to win a primary, he has a hold, he could win it with 20%. assuming that there are ten other republicans running for president. he is doubling down on the baseless report. in the end, the question is, will republicans continue to support donald trump, that base of republicans, or those elected officials that have lived in fear? will they continue to support

donald trump as he goes more and more extreme? >> basil, quickly, biden is not gonna be able to pass much in the senator much republicans take control the house, what is the white house strategy for years three and four? especially if joe biden is going to run again? >> i think part of the strategy is to do what we have always done which is to put forward good legislation, good policy, and be able to say if it comes to this, hey, look at what we've done in the first two years. look at what we are doing in the second two years, the difference between those two is that republicans stop us from doing all that we could be doing. again, continue to draw those contrasts, continue to put up good candidates. that is critically important. and again, do exactly what they've been doing in drawing those contrasts. accounting for good, solid solutions to some of today's problems. and governing in the modern ways that he campaigned on.

>> that is, really quickly, if you think anything is going to be done in the session, there's not a lot of time left for january. >> i think you're gonna see much done in the session. but again, is a good starting point for these next couple of years. what democrats have to look towards is 2024 with more senate seats. that is going to be a really tough year for us. again, candid recruitment, continue to talk about policy, hitting different pockets of voters is going to be really really essential for the 2024 strategy. >> my thanks to this morning power political panel. dazzle and susan, always great following you guys, thank you so much for being here. it is do or die time, we are just a couple of hours out from the united states versus the netherlands. a lot of underdog teams came out on top this team, will

he took a hit very, very hard knock. it was amazing -- before being subbed off. we will see, even without question, the u.s. has a very good chance. the netherlands impressed me so far. but this is do or die. there's so many other things that go beyond the technical analysis. there is no margin of error. i like what the u.s. team has done in this world cup. i like their chances today. >> andreas, if the united states wins today, it will be the farthest that that team has gotten in the world cup in 20 years. we have seen a lot of the big favorites in this tournament get eliminated early. does the united states have a chance to shock the world do you think and go all the way? >> not all the way, the winner

of this match will get the winner of argentina. hopefully, it won't be argentina. it will be tough there. if the u.s. makes it passed another once. but i think it will have a great run. it was eight years of waiting for the u.s. to get back to the world cup. they have done really, really good here. they had a very, very good first half. [inaudible] they did not play well the second half. they had a game against england. it will come out on top. hopefully, they will win. and they will beat messi, hopefully. >> andreas, before i have to let you go, soccer, and i'll cite this statistic, it is the fastest growing support in the

united states, we had a basketball, baseball, hockey, an american football. four years from now, the united states will host the world cup along with mexico and canada. how much do you think hosting in north america is going to help increase the love of the sport of football? >> a lot, katie. i remember during the 1994 world cup in our country, and wanted for the game, it was a before and after transformation. now, it is very, very popular over the country. i have no doubt -- [inaudible] the game will increased -- believe me, i'm really looking forward because the world cup is coming up. >> i know you have to save your

voice. before we go, can i get a goal from you? please, please. >> no. i wish i could be calling the u.s. game today. unfortunately, there could be overtime. -- [inaudible] katie, forgive me, but i've been under the weather, hopefully i will get many messy goals. >> listen, save it, we are looking forward to everything that you're going to do today. we appreciate it. mucho grassiest, andreas, you just scored a goal for us. thank you for being here. you can see the exciting game today at 10 am eastern live on telemundo and streaming on peacock. we will be right back. peacock. we will be right back. we will be right back.
