the agony of defeat, the u.s. team feeling it today after coming up short in qatar plus a special report as i talked to the activists, keeping the pressure on the islamic republic. >> why would you be doing right now if you're in iran? >> i would be probably on the streets protesting. >> you would? you would easily be placed in jail, you could be beaten, you could be harmed. >> i am the age of most of the protesters and if i were there, i would be doing the same. >> i sat down with three women using social media to help support the woman on the front lines of this battle. and their home country, that report is coming up later on this hour you don't want to miss that plus the discussion following. we want to start there with a new outrageous and un-american suggestion from the former president. and i knew posts, on his social media platform, trump essentially says the constitution should be suspended to allow him to be

declared the winner of the 2020 election and installed as president or at least the whole election should be redone. it is not the first time he suggest an election do-over over false claims of election fraud, but the first time that he has suggested putting aside the bedrock documents of this democracy, the timing

he wanted to just shut the government down before it made any decisions and its case. that is what the 11th circuit said no to. you know we all know that trump typically benefits from the delay game. one litigation is involved, when he isn't an illegal rich he files frivolous appeals an orders to delay the proceedings. that is not going to work for him here because the 11 circuits ruling says that doj can go ahead and use all of the evidence that they recovered at mar-a-lago. to continue to put together

their case. trump can take appeals but it will not stop that progress from happening. >> and so when we talk about also this very bad terrible week of the former president is having on the courts were also talking about of course the testimony from former white house counsel, pat cipollone along with his former deputy as well pat film. and here is how political is putting out which is interesting because there are two things in which these two individuals have knowledge on. cipollone and film and have inside about trump's imaginations ahead of january six when he attempted to subvert his defeat and the 2020 election. he is a second term but they were also both present in the final days of trump's white house and boxes of documents including highly sensitive national security secrets. packed and shipped to trump's mar-a-lago estate. if in fact these two are testifying in front of a d.c. grand jury, where do you think it is likely their testimony is most focused on? >> so we don't know the answer to that for certain. it seems possible that there

are two separate grand jury is being run under the season of the special counsel. one for january six and one for the mar-a-lago documents case. the interesting thing you know and how many former white house counsel's have the position of being fact witnesses to crimes committed by president, let alone in two separate investigations. their testimony could be valuable in either or both, it is not at all clear what their testimony so far has been about. >> joyce vance for us, joyce is always great to talk to you on saturday afternoon. thank you my friend. all right let's get to georgia everybody, we have a few days off now. the two candidates in the son of running their final pitch and push ahead of tuesday's runoff election incumbent democrats and raphael warnock. made in opinion, just a short time ago in atlanta, while public challenger herschel walker's had to make it can stop later on this afternoon. the latest polls are showing warnock with a slight four point lead over walker, that is

with and of course that margin of error. and i want to bring enough senior national political reporter for nbc news. south hill cohen out landed for us in politics reporter at the atlanta journal-constitution, and an msnbc contributor, greg bluestein as well. a sahil any talk to you on this one, if you bring us up today on will both walker and warnock are today, they are kind of tiktok and movements ahead of the runoff on tuesday? >> well yasmin we are three days out and this largely at this point comes down to competing turnout machines and getting out the vote operations. so just this morning, raphael warnock rally in atlanta for labor organizers, later this evening. he has an event with asian american voters said to be joined by the actor and activists, daniel dae kim as well with senator. -- georgia democrat tomorrow is just an ounce of stevie wonder is going to host a virtual get out the vote rally for raphael warnock down the stretch. herschel locker for his vote has been campaigning naturally

a different massive characters a couple of days ago. he put rick scott the chairman of the republican campaign on tomorrow. he has to rally about 30 miles from atlanta with a couple of republican senators, tim scott and jon kennedy. walker spent a lot of time recently appearing on conservative media, pleading with voters to get the money pointing to this funder the deficit that he has you know compared to democrats. house banning him roughly 2 to 1 if not more on the airwaves in georgia. warnock has been a little bit more specific the closing message, walker has been a little bit more abstract. let's buy kind of what these two have had to say. >> my opponent said if you are able bodied and you have a job, you have health care. i am not mad that he does not know what he is talking about, i am mad that he does not notice talking about and he thinks he ought to be a united states senator. >> now i am one of those candidates that i believe is not what your country can do with you but as for way can do

for your country. right now, we need workers out there, we don't need politicians. we need people that will fight for this country, five for your kids, five for my kids and five for the right for people to have the right to speak. >> i now one of the biggest difference is jasmine between the general election and this runoff election is that senate control is no longer up for grabs. democrats have clinched it with that crucial 50th vote. i want to be very clear that the outcome here will be a normalcy important for the balance of power in washington, i will give you three reasons why. let's get these on the screen, the first is if you get a 51st for democrats love a clear majority, they can rip up this power sharing agreement. they have lost republicans and get you know enough numbers on the committee for that republicans cannot forcing the jump through hoops. -- they can also have subpoena power without requiring on any of the court and the second reason, 2024 senate map is looking brutal for democrats. if they want any chance of withstanding the republican onslaught, then that extra one

seat cushion can really come in handy and finally, senator joe manchin, remember joe manchin? the perennial headache for the democrat agenda. this resin georgia will decide what he will be that kingmaker or rather democrat to tell you, thank you senator we don't need to vote on this one. >> it feels as much power as he did over the last two years or so, sahil always great and i've let you go back to it. greg, let's talk some of the stuff on you as a pretty important question on twitter earlier today. it was not about yay or was it about elon musk. but nonetheless, certainly about the runoff elections on tuesday. asking, this is georgia big for ali voting, there are more questions than answers. will split ticket voters who got warnock? will the elections loser refused to concede if it's a close race? could there be legal complaints questioning the result? and those are in fact grid particularly important questions. do you have any answers to some of those? what are you expecting here? >> we are expecting the split ticket voters at least by anecdotal evidence to stay with senator warnock. again it is hard to pull a runoff like this with a low, or

a smaller electorate. very unpredictable after holiday season. but so far, we have seen the numbers tend to show that swing to get voters and swing voters are sick with a democrat or they might just stay home. either, way that can be cut is for senator warnock. we have also seen with this early voting explosion in georgia is setting records for a week. african american voters are playing at disproportionately high role in this which is good as for democrats, a little bit of not to good news for democrats. also older voters are voting in big numbers to. >> i want to also talk about kind of the obama factor versus the -- obama showing up on thursday believe it was his second visit campaigning for warnock ahead of the runoffs on december six. biden though keeping more of a distance, right kind of phone banking with his efforts to help support warnock. you actually note this, there is graduation for warnock's efforts to distance himself from biden. as opinion polls continue to show the president's approval rating is hovering around 40%

in georgia. talk to us about kind of this strategy of aiding from far from that president there and how calculated that in fact is? >> yes it is passing in georgia because if you go to a senator warnock speech for and then say we'll talk more about working with ted cruz or with tommy tuberville or the marco rubio these arch conservative republicans and it has about working with joe biden. it's calculated, it's because he wants to make sure those swing ticket voters feel safe, have a safe harbor with them. he wants to continue to try to appeal to those voters and he knows that you know, the same thing we know that those polls show that joe biden's numbers continue to struggle in georgia. herschel walker wants to make the race a referendum on joe biden and senator warnock wants to make this a referendum on his own record and on a contrast with herschel ocher. >> you know it's fascinating even though it is not biden on the ground for him in georgia, that's exactly what biden campaigned on as well in the run up to 2020. . that he could reach across you

know the aisle and negotiate with that republican leaders in congress. i also want to talk about republican lieutenant governor jeff duncan who did not cast a ballot in the georgia runoff. and he reported that he said this, like many conservatives across georgia, i have been waiting for herschel walker to give me a reason to support him. regrettably, he hasn't and that is why i was forced to leave my ballot blank. what does walker's camp reaction to this? is this something that we are hearing from a lot of republicans in the state? >> walker's camp, his campaign manager, his aides are basically saying that jeff duncan is an effective, he is nobody in there saying basically because he is not running for reelection, that he is the sort of afterthought in georgia politics. he is still the number to georgia, georgia politician. he is currently a high-ranking state republican and he gives voice to that group of sort of, mentally accidents over the at's group of skeptical

republicans who just cannot stomach herschel walker and who might have been soft supporters of him and the november midterm and now cannot go back out and vote for him. that is just not good who apparently waited in line for an hour, going up to the polls. only one race on the ballot and did not vote for him. >> all right greg bluestein of course, the whole country will be watching the results of the runoff election on tuesday of course here on msnbc. we will have special coverage of really starting at 6:45 pm. you don't want to miss that. thank you, greg good to talk to you. art everybody, let's shift gears here if we can, in a win or go home game at the world cup team usa, it's going home. short time ago they were eliminated after a 31 loss to the netherlands and qatar. the u.s. had their second youngest squad in the tournament but their dreams are world cup glory are over. president biden reacting to the loss by tweeting fellas, you made us proud, we keep up and keep going. here is to a bright future in 2026. back here at home nbc's megan fitzgerald is in doha in qatar and melissa carla is with us from washington, d.c. as well.

it was quite a grim meghan i showed up pretty light to the studio because i was that home watching the end of that game. certainly a nail-biter but nonetheless this morning obviously for a lot of team usa found so walk us through it. >> yes it was a tough loss bullet team usa came out hot within the first two and a half minutes of the, game we saw christian pulisic fire at the goal, not connecting with the back of the net. by the end of the furnace, often netherlands were up to zero. team usa was able to score in the second half but with just minutes left and the second half. the netherlands fired another goal winning 3 to 1. and of course team usa was the underdog but yasmin, as you haven't i've been talking, this is been the tournament of the underdogs. we have seen the upsets, what inspired team usa fans making them believe that there was a shot tonight. that the team could've pulled off this win and in the end of course, it did not go that way. as you mentioned, no fans looking at the bigger picture.

we are looking at a team usa team that was one of the youngest in the tournament. they are so growing and all eyes are now set on the world cup in 2026. when it is played and the u.s., canada and mexico. yasmin? >> not when i'm sure will be in the pipeline for team usa as i continue to get better and better at the soccer. more americans are kind of invested right in the game of soccer than they ever have been before. megan, i know you have to go and a lot to reporting to do there so we appreciate you sticking with us for now. marissa, let me go to you a right to open at this kind of watch party as folks have been taking in and grappling with the loss of team usa. i mentioned, right more americans than ever interested in the game of soccer now and the world cup. how are folks they're reacting? >> yes i'm in three hours ago and we were here, you could barely hear me over the sea of people behind me that were chanting go usa, team usa and

obviously the motive shifted a little bit right now. i would say that what we saw in the aftermath of that loss was there are some people who are not really to surprise, of course disappointment. there was some optimism and to really understand why i say that and maybe whether a feeling that you have to walk through the journey of the team. not just today and not just this week but over the years as the team has been developing. so to really understand that i mean you have to remember that this man soccer team has been the underdog and you know how strong the women's team has been? men's team did not even qualify for the last world cup. so this was a huge deal to make it to the knockout stage here. this was not even just a big deal for these die hard soccer fans who have been watching here after year, then there are people who came out and maybe never seen a game of soccer in their lives. but they understand just how big of a deal this is on the international stage and the excitement of being a part of that. of your country have been a part of that. we have seen how big of a deal

this is. you mentioned the fan base here, it's growing in the united states. another country, as you see it on storming the streets when they win. saudi arabia declared a national holiday after their win. we saw that for the last two weeks. so here was an exciting deal to the point that we had people that were lining up in the rain outside of this bar where we are here. and it's a gross stake, roast morning in washington d.c. that did not stop people from showing out. when we were here, the big difference is you know right now there is a game playing between argentina and australia. people are sticking around for that but man, when the u.s. men's soccer team was playing, this room was packed. playit was filled with people wh their eyes glued to the screen, all the way until the bitter end. >> oh yes, for about 90 seconds after we, scored a really thought we were going to come back unlike it was gonna be a miracle and ice moment. biden not happen. >> with an hour, and we did not

advance by 2026, we are hosting and i know i think we will be able to top it. >> so you heard it there, there is that optimism that you are talking about. yes the dreams of a world cup glory might be gone for now but everyone is talking about how young this team is, everyone is looking towards 2026 saying okay this we just practice for next time. >> it has to be fun marissa will watch party on saturday afternoon when everybody else is like engaging in drinking, pottery, celebration and watching a game behind you. here you are having to keep it straight. reporting the news, we appreciate you marissa. thank you for that, as always. >> i love assignments. >> i know, still ahead everybody, the next up for january six committee with his final report expected within days. plus this. >> they will just kind of say thank you so much for being our voice, this means everything to us. they see us and that galvanizes them. >> how social activists, here

in the united states are helping drive the fight against the islamic republic. our conversation is coming up. and why kanye west is suspended from twitter, even though other prominent neo-nazis are getting their accounts reinstated. the mixed messages coming from elon musk when it comes to hate. we will 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.

leakproof underwear at knix.com fallout after a rapper ye formerly known as kanye west

got his twitter account suspended again for making anti-semitic post. the rapper tweeted an image on thursday that appeared to show a swastika inside of a star of david, the post was blocked by twitter for violating its rules and elon musk said wes account was suspended quote for incitement of violence. it came after day one and alex jones and for us and praised hitler and said that the holocaust never happened. joining me is chairman and president of media matters, angela kherson. i mean -- what is going on? how is it that we live in a country, we live in a world where rapper like it was to obviously wants people to talk about what he is saying. he wants to push the envelope, i think a part of part of that in his head feels as if this is an expression of art when he is saying right? up >> sure. >> is able to say things like

this. i mean this is pure hate speech. what this is nothing but pure hate. >> yes, this is hates beach and i think that obviously there is the immediacy of the story which is what ye is saying and how outrageous it is an elon musk banning, suspending him. that is the thing to consider but immediately my brain goes to one of the effects of this? what are we going to see the new cycle is over, not at a couple of days but what is the effect of this right now and three months or six months? that is where isis how much it should be where their concern and the truth is, this will be catastrophic. here is why because he has a platform right? he is obviously a major celebrity, he will get a lot of attention for these ideas. all kinds of clips of him saying these outrageous and antisemitic things on alex jones's show circulating on social media. and obviously, a lot of people saying that it's ridiculous. by the social media algorithms also recommend us to people that may be interested in it, and i don't think it's ridiculous.

but having seen this and a-rod, distilled form on tiktok for example right? and so actually what this will end up doing is sowing seeds where the algorithmic amplification all across the internet, there will be a whole wave of new people that are exposed to these ideas and then by extension a whole bunch of new neo-nazis that elon musk is a long back on twitter, so that they can follow up and continue to injustice. >> i have to push back on you and say this. what i mean there will? be there already are. donald trump and the former president started that and that is where we are right? you have the former president as a politician running for president of united states, serving its president for four years who enable people to think this way and to speak the quiet part out loud right? that was kind of the political sphere and now you have something, someone in the social media sphere like elon musk who's doing the exact same thing and the entertainment sphere like kanye west and what happened with career being as well. what is next? what is happening that all of

these people are thinking this way? >> i think that what you just said a significant because you made the essential point that i totally agree with which is that this is not a difference and kind, and what ye did is really just a difference and degree. it's this and then we have been seeing from trump, something we have been saying from right-wing media. they have been pushing and promoting and sort of laying the scope holding and foundation for a new wave of antisemitism, what elon musk has done by bringing these people back on right is allowing them to now sort of harness and channel some of that energy. if i would've put it simply, what you are seeing in the republican party as a whole but also on the far-right is at their organizing power on what used to be considered the fringes. they are no longer the french, is they are moving them increasingly to the center because that's where they've chosen to organize power. i don't think that we can just dismissed us a something that's happening on the fringes, as you know it this is happening front and center at the table for the front runner for the republican party.

and as back largely by the right-wing echo chamber and noise machine. >> and then also want to lead folks with this, it's a tweet that i saw from caitlin jenner which i found really disturbing as if elon musk is fighting the good fight right? and she said, this i will go surrounded by massive security and an extremely safe undisclosed location. you just became public enemy number one to some very, very bad people. i prefer safety and thank for you for your bravery. we need more elon musk in our society, considering what elon musk when i was doing with twitter. the rise in hate speech online as well with this opposition of twitter. unbelievable now how folks are painting elon musk and someone who has a platform like caitlin jenner who is engaging in the good fight, that is engaging in the good fight. we will leave it there. angelo kherson, we will leave it there. i think we agree on that. how bad have you back anytime angelo, great to talk to. you coming up everybody, amplifying the atrocities of the islamic republic. i spoke with three iranian women living in the u.s. about how they are using social media to fight back. also joined by jason rezaian

online movement has really changed the game this time around. we have seen protests in iran repeatedly over the last two decades, let's stick with that right. the last 20 years or so but nothing like we have seen really this time. and much of it really for my reporting on the people that i've been talking to is not just because of what iranians are doing in the streets, continuing to show up every day in spite of the danger that is out there but also because of the dedication of the diaspora here helping spread the word. talk to me about how you think it is change the game? >> yes look i think it's important that we are having this conversation and continuing to have this conversation. almost for three months now. that is because folks in the diaspora and our allies, friends have continued to raise an amplify the voices of iranian protesters. in 2009 if you remember following the reelection of --

there was a lot of protest for months. social media the not have the same kind of multiplying effect that it does. now this is a huge element of it and i think that it is one step of the puzzle. you and i were at an event together a couple weeks back where the former secretary of state, hillary clinton spoke about the importance of online movement but the shell so made it an important point that that is just one piece of the puzzle. and that is not the thing that will topple the regime and iran or china or anywhere else. it is so important and galvanizing support, interests and the political will of leaders in the west to do something about it. >> you, know what i found is sounding us what the iranian government is doing and as you and i both know the reporting coming out of iran is incredibly scattering. it's hard to verify a lot of times because of the closures of inter -- and the government trying to

suppress any information that is leaking out. it is not the government not only is to present these people, trying to imprison them and arrest many of these protesters and kill them. but also that they are not even allowing them to mourn. not allowing them to be seen as martyrs. those that have face murder and being killed because of their actions as protesters. what does that say to you about the state of the iranian government right now? >> well they've been doing this for a long time, when people have been killed and by the hands of the regime. they make the morning ceremonies, the funerals almost like militarized events, scaring people away from taking part. the differences now people are talking about, it is happening on such a opening scale. have been first with mom in his funeral back in september. it has gone on ever since. it is a shameless regime that

justifies its existence essentially by saying that their rule by the right of god. but ultimately, they have no regard for human life, for international law or basic dignity and we are seeing that over and over again. not only how they put them in protest but how they respond to the deaths of the people that they kill. >> jason, one last one to you and it's a big one. what do you think would squeeze the islamic republic, the regime to the point in which they are being real, demonstrable change? >> the challenge and frankly the problem yasmin is that i don't see this as a regime that is going to stand iran for its basic activities in the way that it run itself for the last 43 years. it is not capable of fundamental change. and for that reason, i think we will be in a period of a protractive, prolonged apprise

and for people against the state because the regime also does not have answers to the very legitimate demands for freedom and equality that the vast majority of iranians have. >> yes jason resign as always, we appreciate you and thank you for joining us on this. we will be right back everybody. everybody. nicorette knows, quitting smoking is freaking hard. you get advice like: just stop. go for a run. go for 10 runs! run a marathon. instead, start small. with nicorette. which can lead to something big. start stopping with nicorette. oh, there you are...

♪ ♪ welcome back. with just weeks remaining and until the deadline at the end of the year, the january six committee holding a key meeting, murmurs on friday discussing potential criminal referrals for a top republicans refused to reply with the committee subpoenas, and putting the former president. want to bring in nbc allie raffa who's standing by for us on capitol hill.

our talk to me all, it what we know about any developments emerging from this meeting? >> yes he has, meant you and i have learned over the past more than a year now, this is a committee that usually likes to leave a sort of trail of bread crumbs about what to expect next. that was definitely not the case yesterday. myself, several of our team members try to ask details about what came out of this two virtual meetings that they had and the members were noticeably very tightlipped. what we do know is that they ticked through what is left on our to do list for the committees power as the panel resolves as a whole on december 31st. one of those questions as what to do as you mention with former president trump and those house republicans and quoting likely the next speaker of the house. kevin mccarthy who have ignored the subpoenas by the committee. subpoenas for documents for testimony, should criminal referrals be made as a punishment for not complying with those subpoenas. that committee members are also

working on their plans for how to present that final lengthy report of their findings. -- benny thompson expected to likely be released before christmas. they left the door open during the last hearing for that potential for another hearing of not an investigative nature. possibly another laying to hear these final findings. definitely a lot of decisions said to be made by this committee, the sessions that could really impact the legacy at the end at macon after all of this. >> decisions to be made in the short unveiled left, with that of course comes a transition who will be speaker. where are we? where do you think stands when it comes to kevin mccarthy speakership were fight for speakership us say? >> yes kevin mccarthy is stuck in the middle of this very, very high stakes tug of war for the speakership job. as we know, there are roughly half a dozen of republicans who are publicly saying they will not support him for this job.

31 house republicans did not even talk to nominate him for this job. he can only afford to lose about four house gop votes to sell me that 218 vote threshold to become speaker. quite as rising concerns now is that there are several republicans who are -- there are suspicions that they feel this way adele feel i can say so until it is widely accepted that mccarthy will not reach out 218 vote threshold. it has that into all sorts of reactions from republicans. you have something that will nominate people who aren't even elected to the house. it's officially, technically not a requirement to be an elected lawmaker, to be how speaker. you also have sort of centrist republicans who are threatening far-right members. about the mccarthy thing that will side with democrats just to get a vote on the floor. and then you have this letter circulating yesterday, 21 house republican signing this and calling for house gop members

to come together and unify. saying voters gave them a slim authority quote, skeptically. essentially saying a fight over this before republicans even gain the majority is dangerous long term. this is definitely a faction of this caucus that is trying to unify this group before those elections over january 3rd yasmin. >> all right wrap up or, us as always thank you. aren't everybody, one down and want to go. coming up in the next hour, the railroad strike deal that avoided a devastating blow to the economy and how some unions pretty upset. i will talk to one of those who voted for it. democratic congressman from pennsylvania, brandon boyle about that paid sick leave that to not make it in the final version. we will be right back. l be right back. subs for the all-new subway series menu the new monster has juicy steak and crispy bacon. but what about the new boss? it looks so good it makes me hangry! settle down there, big guy the new subway series. what's your pick? nicorette knows, quitting smoking is freaking hard.
