good evening and welcome to

politicsnation. tonight's lead, out with the old, in with the new. right now there's literally just hours left in 2022. a turbulent political year now ending with several transitions. not least of which being this incoming divided congress. the winds of change are blowing in both parties, as new leadership takes the reins for congressional democrats, for republicans, and internal battles over the parties future rages even as the gop prepares

to take over the house in a little over a week. 2022 you had its highs and lows. but, i am grateful for a few things. democrats retained the senate, and i've held on to morehouse eats not expected. the biden white house has a long list of policy wins to boast about as the year ends. and, even with a congressional probe into january 6th ending, the investigation surrounding donald trump appears to be tightening by the day. and, yesterday at the after six years of legal wrangling, we finally know just how little donald trump paid in federal taxes just before, and during his time as president. our house committee making six years of trump's long sought after talks returns public yesterday. we are taking stock of the year and the week that was.

>> while looking ahead to the political year to come. all of that tonight, on this final politicsnation. of 2022. we're joining me now, congresswoman joyce beatty, democratic ohio, she is the outgoing chair of the congressional black caucus. congresswoman, thank you first for being with us. happy new year. and, thank you for joining us on this new years eve. we want to talk about with that new year will mean for congressional democrats. and of course, for the congressional black caucus. but, i have to begin with that weekend's top political story. after years of illegal combat that went all the way to the supreme court, the house with means committee releasing six years of donald trump's federal tax returns yesterday, including trump's four years as president. the returns showing that trump claimed losses throughout his

time in the white house. ultimately paying little in federal taxes relative to his business earnings in that spin. and yet, two nothing in his final year in office. we have to note that trump has denied any wrongdoing. but, what is your take from these released returns, congresswoman? >> first of all, let me say happy new years. and thank you for having. me i think what we witnessed with our committees is what we knew especially as democrats. that he ran his business like he attempted to run this country into debt. i am not surprised. he claims that he was an astute and wealthy businessman. yet, we knew that not to be true now. he did not pay more than $750 in his tax returns. some years, zero. we should be able to hold a president to higher standards. we know, since early 70s

presidents and vice presidents have all filed and paid their taxes. i think it is criminal what he has done. we represent, as a congressional that caucus, an 18 black americans in 80 million americans. they're all expected to pay their taxes. >> now, with the next congress coming in and just over a week, the congressional black caucus you have chair this past four years will not have a new chair. congressman stephen hudson of nevada is taking the reins from you. as best you can, congresswoman, where does the see d.c. figure into this divided congress with republicans leading the house, and one of the top priorities for the caucus in 2023? >> well, the republicans may be leaving the house because of the sheer numbers and a slim margin, but the congressional black caucus is as strong as ever. when you look at what we delivered, we will continue to deliver.

we were there through all the critical things that happened in the 100 and 6:17. and as we continue, stephen horsford will be a great chair. we will continue to fight for justice, think about it. january the 6th. a black man, a cdc man during the january six commission. we now have congressman hakeem jeffries who could very soon, 2024, the air first black man to be speaker of the house. he has a track record. we will continue to lead. he is a strong congressional black caucus member. ketanji brown jackson. cbc was there. infrastructure, cbc was there to negotiate more than a one trillion dollar contracts. we were there with you. live town hall about the white supremacy and the insurrection on our capital. we will continue to fight for justice. we were there with you during the george floyd trial.

cbc will not take a backseat to anyone. and, as a matter of fact, i will be handing over a published tabletop book. our power, our message, that will document everything that we've done and it will pass on to what congressman stephen horseburg, and i mind you, we still have 58 members of the congressional black caucus, the largest in the history. and i was able to maintain that thanks to the fight, thanks to the candidates that we have. we will continue to be the largest, the most powerful, and the strongest caucus in the congress. >> 58 members of the congressional black caucus. i know that william dawson and we -- could not believe that number. and all the things that you put in that binder for a table top and, like you said, many of the things that you named i was

there working shortages shoulder with you including when the president signed an executive order around where the george floyd bill would pass with republicans in the senate that let it pass. house gop leader kevin mccarthy is still trying to generate enough support from his caucus to secure the speakership. it appears that effort may have to resolve itself on the floor of the house between factions of the gop that support and oppose that bit. what does it say to you, in your gop comet colleagues, to have been reunited behind mccarthy just days before taking control of the house? >> i think it is quite simple. he won't be a nancy pelosi. he is not able to control his caucus. democrats will have the door open then to be able to fight for justice and to get some of our issues on the front burner. i think he is in trouble.

he promised something that he couldn't keep. he said that there would be a wide margin. it also speaks to his lack of leadership. he's been able to try to please both sides of the gop. and we know, that doesn't work. i think he is going to have a tough time to get there, and the real question is, what will he have to promise a way to get those votes? >> into will he have to promise it to you. because there are some bizarre people on that side. congresswoman, joyce beatty, thank you and happy new year. and we will continue to work with you as chair emerita's as you go on. but you are a fighter and we have been certainly happy with your winter mist chairman of the conch kiss and constantly bailable to us on the show. joining me now is pennsylvania democratic congressman brandon boyle. he is the incoming ranking member of the house budget committee. congressman, happy new year.

and let's start with the new congress. you have been a house member since 2015. so, you know what it is like to be in the party in power, and in the minority. what are you our expectations for this upcoming 118? >> happy new year to you, and to the viewers, i'll. the first opposite observation i have this being in the majority is better. it is certainly more exhilarating and more meaningful to be able to pass your own legislative agenda. and some of the things that we achieved over the last two years are really landmark and historic. that said, we have a responsibility in the minority, essentially to prevent that republican chaos and dysfunction. they're already starting off on january 3rd. they can't even elect around speaker, as my colleague joyce beatty was pointing out. but let's face it, they have a very extreme agenda. even though they narrowly won the majority this past november, most of that extreme agenda was

rejected in most of the country including here in pennsylvania. so, our obligation as democrats would be to be united front, to work with republicans where we can, but also as i said, to stand up and reject their extremism and make sure that they are not able to get it passed in the house. >> the republicans in the house have the slimmest of majorities in this upcoming congress. you said that you plan to work on finding common ground with republicans. do you really believe bipartisanship will be possible, what will that look like? >> you know, i know it is always easy to take a doom and gloom outlook when it comes to washington d.c.. but let's not forget, over the last 20 years there have been a number of key examples of bipartisanship. the very last time that we raise the minimum wage was back when you had a republican president, george w. bush, and democrats had just taken over the house and the senate.

you had plenty of other examples of bipartisan deals being reached in the 1990s with bill clinton and new can grudge. despite how extreme that republican congress was. one area that i would point to where i do believe that you will have bipartisanship's support for ukraine. i think that we will be able to work with a majority of republicans in the house to stand up to the marjorie taylor greene's and the lauren boebert's and others who reject defending ukraine. i believe we will be able to work with kind of a silent majority on their side, to make sure we continue to stand up to putin and his radical destructive war in ukraine. >> the budget committee of this incoming congress will be the center for one of the first real legislative fights in the new congress. that is raising the debt ceiling. house republican leader kevin mccarthy, and other members of the gop, have said that they will use any vote on raising

the debt limit to force democrats to cut spending. as the new ranking member of that committee, what is your plans for this uncoupling battle? >> first, i, all you are exactly. right kevin mccarthy, john thornton, and others have made clear what the republican plan is. and that is to use the debt ceiling as leverage to force democrats to accept really deep cuts to social security, medicare, medicaid, and other parts of the social safety net. i want to be clear. i will not go along with any of that. we democrats want a clean race of the debt ceiling, period. and on that, i know whether it is the white house, or me is the lead democrat in the budget committee, we will not compromise. we will ensure that there is a clean increase of the debt ceiling. and if democrats if republicans think that they are going to you find us willing to go along with essentially their hostage taking, they are going to have

a rude awakening come next year. >> before i let you, go i have to ask you about the ways and means committee releasing trump's tax returns. as a member of that committee, why did you think it was important for that information to finally be made public, and are you concerned about possible republican retaliation? we >> you know, as a member of that committee, i did vote to release those tax returns. it became quite clear that, really transparency demanded. this if you are going to follow along with the nonpartisan report that was written by the joint committee on taxation, you really needed to have the full returns in order for them to make sense. in terms of retaliation, let's not forget, court after court found in our favor, found that we had a legislative purpose. a legitimate legislative purpose in pursuing these tax returns. in fact, in late november, this

went all the way to the u.s. supreme court. and a republican dominated supreme court found in our favor. so, in the future. if the republicans wanted to pursue you are tax adjourns or mine or any political opponents, they would have to demonstrate there's a legitimate legislative purpose. i don't think they would be able to do that. it's a pretty high bar. and i am glad that the courts pape met it. >> congressman brandon boyle, thank you for being with. and again, happy new year. coming, up we will take a look at the democratic and republican congressional agendas for 2023. but first, my colleague cory coffin with today's top news stories. cory? >> thanks, rob. of stories we are watching at this hour. former pope benedict the 16th, the first pontiff to resign and 1600 years, hazards that has died at 95. benedict time as pope's lead largely dedicated to pushing back on what he saw as campaigns to secularized the church.

those efforts guarded him the name gods rottweiler. that again, said benedict remains to be on public display in st. peter's basilica, starting monday. with his funeral to be held thursday in st. peters square. legendary broadcast journalist and feminist icon barbara walters passed away on friday. walters was known in recent years as the cocreator and host of the hit abc roundtable show, the view. but, many will also remember her as the first female anchor of a network news program. walters was 93. russia targeted ukrainian cities with another barrage of missile strikes earlier today. the mayor of ukraine's capital, kyiv, said at least one person was killed and 20 others were hurt in the attacks. and, new this afternoon, brian coburg are, the man arrested in connection with the killings of four idaho college called tunes last month reportedly intends to wait for his extradition hearing to expedite's transport from pennsylvania to idaho. he will be charged with four counts of first degree murder

and before we get to 2023, the past two weeks we have seen some major developments in stories that dominated the news this year. the january six committee released their final report. and it lays out just how far trump and his allies were willing to go to overturn the 2020 election. congress 2023, plans, plus the house ways and means committee made six years of trump's tax returns public. and, unsurprisingly, former grifter and chief paid little in federal taxes in the year before and during his

presidency. we're turning now republican strategist and msnbc political analyst susan el presidio. and, democratic strategist michael hardaway. he has worked on the staff of both congressman hakeem jeffries and senator dick durbin. michael, let's start with you. the six years of the trump tax returns show he paid a little in federal taxes during his presidency, and appeared to none in 2020. i mean, what do you make of that? >> when i think we have always known that this is made of level corruption as it relates to donald trump and his failure or inability to pay taxes. but, to me the larger concern for america should be these secret bank accounts that he held overseas while president of the united states. which includes places like china. and, the next question is, we are has decisions tied to his business interests in those

countries where he had those counts? we have no transparency. >> and some of those accounts were not disclosed where he was asked to disclose. some were not disclosed. and the one that you referred to in china, he said he was going to stop that account and he didn't. >> he didn't stop it. and we have no idea how much money was in, it where the money came, from where decisions made in the white house that were tied to money coming in and out of those accounts. we don't have any transparency. and that is a real concern. and i think the next question here is, why didn't the irs to its job? every single president receives an audit, and this president did not. and that is also a real concern. now, susan trump's tax returns also showed that he reported zero. zero charitable donations in 2020. that is the year when his administration's failed pandemic response cost millions of jobs and lives. what is your reaction to that?

we >> rev, i am going to have an opinion that is not going to be very popular here. i agree that the congress, the ways and means committee should absolutely have had donald trump's tax returns. they should be investigated. if they didn't have time to do it, they could hand it to the democrats to investigate the money in foreign accounts, the way his taxes were done, the audit that was not done, which was required by law by the irs. but, here is the thing. they should not have released his taxes. and the reason they shouldn't have is, as the congressman said earlier, those taxes were meant to serve a legislative purpose. releasing them to the public served no legislative purpose. and, that i think is something that is going to be a point of contention moving forward rightfully so. i think that donald trump should have released it before he ran for president. both times. 100%.

but, he was not required by law. even though every other president since the 70s had put it out there, he was not required by law. and we. can disagree on that, but then let me ask you this. should there be a law that if you file with the federal elections commission to run for president, that you should be required to release your taxes? >> absolutely. i would support that outer percent. but, and they could have tried to do something in the electoral count act in the last piece of legislation that passed the session. and, that is a really fair point. but, he was not required by law to do it. we >> micah, let's turn to the january six report. because i don't have time. that committee has now released at least 160 interview transcripts and they provided more information on the rules of rudy giuliani, the proud boys, and ginni thomas, wife of justice clarence thomas. plus, they detailed the

constant infighting in the trump white house. what do you find the most interesting information to come out of the report so far? >> i've got to be perfectly honest with you. i think that they did a thorough job there. but i am left with more questions than answered. i do think that obviously donald trump is a cooperate in the tip of the spear, but i think it was worthwhile to explore the idea of how, from a law enforcement perspective, these failures happened. yes, donald trump led a failed coup on that day. but, we should have had an infrastructure in place from a law enforcement perspective that prevented him or anyone else from doing what happened on january the 6th. and so, from my perspective i think it is interesting obviously that you had this whole scheme from the trump campaign to steal the election. and, the subsequent sworn ending. but the reality here is that, why did law enforcement stop it on january the 6th? why don't capitol police stop it? apparently their intelligence

unit had some sort of information surrounding this possibility. so, i think the american people we'd like to know why it wasn't stopped and what is the plan to prevent it from ever happening again. >> susan, what are your thoughts on what has come from the january six committee's final report? >> first of all, i think it was probably one of the most important select committee reports that we have seen since 9/11. it was so well done. and, the testimony that was televised was only backed up by the testimony that we are now reading which is now made public. and, that was my, one of the best things i think that committee could do. it was, be completely transparent with everyone's testimony and, the more. there's little things that come out that make it kind of interesting. like, mark meadows burning papers in his office or ginni thomas regretting that she texted mark meadows. but, overall, it does point to

that conclusion of the report. one person is responsible for january 6th. and, yes we should look at the four years that resulted in law enforcement. but this is on donald trump. and he has to be held accountable. when >> michael, republicans hold a majority in the upcoming house. republican leader kevin mccarthy says he plans to investigate biden's plans for the irs woke i'll ideology. and, even hunter biden. do you see that happening? we >> kevin mccarthy is a complete disaster. he has no ability to manage his own conference, much less set forth an agenda in terms of what republicans will do in the next two years. and if you think about it, we've not actually heard from kevin mccarthy what his vision for america's, other than, to wage the sort of political hack investigations into the president's family and other manners. i think that the american people would like mccarthy to work with house democrats to actually get things done, and i

can tell you that the house democratic leadership team is interested in working with mccarthy to get something done for the american people, and i think that is what we all should be focusing on that relates to what the agenda would be from the incoming speaker, and what he can deliver. i'm a little pessimistic, because i think that to win would have to give off his shirt to the far-right wing of his party. and actually get to 2:18, so i'm not sure that he can actually deliver anything, so that will be interesting to see. >> susan, we are out of time, but quickly what are your expectations for the next congress. >> i think mccarthy and his team are going to play down and dirty and biden that the democrats need to be ready for it. but, they shouldn't cower from it. i think they should be equally aggressive and, to michael's, point continue to fight for the american people and put this on the republicans who will not have a legislative agenda, and hold them to that. and let them, they are going to be able to have their hearings, but they won't be able to get

away with not being responsible to the american public. >> susan el presidio, and michael hardaway, thank you both for being with us. coming up, the rise of the far-right extremist groups will be talking about who they are, and where they are. stay tuned. the other day... and forgot where she was.

politicsnation. it comes to us from california. where the first of his kind

state task force on reparations began deliberations earlier this month. a report forthcoming in the new year may impact whether black residents receive compensations from the state to repair at least some of the effects of slavery and jim crow on its roughly 2.5 million black residents. the groundbreaking implications come as several city governments have engaged in preparative action recently, despite a pushing congress to study representations nationally. joining me now is camilla more. she sits on the california reparations task force. now, in the midst of preparing for this segment, i learned a bit about the history of black californians. specifically, have various points in american history drove both free and enslaved black people to the state.

from the south, and the midwest going back to the civil war era. looking at that history, you are task force has looked at five areas specifically in its evaluation of the discrimination effect on the states black residents. housing, incarceration, property seizures, devaluation of black businesses, and health care. each area representing a loss that could be quantified. another housing discrimination is key in the study, and your panel found that from 1933 to 1977 that factor alone would as to meet you around 569 billion dollars in losses, $223,200 per person. in reparations. can you tell us why housing discrimination factors so heavily in the state's history? >> absolutely.

thank you so much reverend for having me. and, as you noted, that nine over california reparations task force hired a team of five economists. some of them being doctor william sprigs. dr. geraghty. top miss kramer, and these economists have worked alongside us over this past year to come up with potential estimates for what preparations in the form of compensation or cast peanuts can look like for african americans who are descended of free enslaved black people are living united states prior to 1900. and, in order to come up with these potential compensations, they had to have the data or the evidence to undercut whatever the potential of evidence were. so based on the research, as you, said five state san sebastian to tragedies, five harms of the state of california there's evidence of data to support that the state was culpable in housing discrimination, and housing being one of the five.

and, as you mentioned, that 500 billion dollar number represents the state of california's maximum culpability for racist red lighting process this from 1933, with the implementation of the homeowners loan corporation, lasting until 1977 with the end of racist redlining practices with the community reinvestment act of 1977. and, again, that number represents a sea of california 's maximum liability. it is not a final recommendation coming out of the task force. fun recommendations do not come out until july one of 2023. >> >> i don't have to tell you about what's those feel like an unprecedented moment nationally around this issue. as i mentioned at the time, we have seen several cities and lower governments engaged in actions in the last two years. barack obama acknowledged reparation marriage and said it was a political nonstarter when

president, and there is the long-standing bill of reparations federally, originated by congressman -- in a historic committee vote last year. that bill has stalled in the house, which the house is about the change hands as republicans take control next month. despite that, why do you think the conversation around the issue has grown to where it's snow politically actionable? >> there's so many different reasons that i can pinpoint, reverend sharpton, but for one, i think the country came to a racial reckoning in 2020 with the unjust murder of george floyd and that a lot of for another iteration of consciousness in this country where we could figure out what do we need to do to rectify one,

america's original sin, which is its history and involvement in the transatlantic slave trade in the united states. it still lingers on an impact to the descendants of slaves in this country. i think at the racial reckoning in 2020 is one major aspect as to why this task force was created due to secretary weber implementing this into law. >> you mentioned the upcoming report early, what are the next steps in the new year for the task force? how long before we might see some recommendations implemented? >> >> the task force has about six months left so our final report will be released july one of 2023 from now until then, the task force will continue to meet as we have been. we have been over 15 times, our next hearing is in san diego,

january 27th to 28, to be determined. you can follow us at our website o a.g..ca.gov, forward slash 2021. we'll have another hearing in february in sacramento, a few more hearings online for the remainder of the task force. our final report will include our final recommendations for reparations, similar to the january six commission. we are an advisory body, so we don't have the power to legislate or enforce or implement anything into law, we just have the power to advise california state legislator on the types of reparation proposals that the legislator should adopt, so it will be up to the california state legislator to turn our proposals into law, when they read our final report, and then it will be up to the governor of the state to enforce or enact the legislation. >> before we run out of time, miss moore, california's major cities are continuing with a crisis, and while back

residents make up 6.5% of the population, they make up 40% of the state homelessness. how can your panel work to change that? >> absolutely, this is something that the panel has continued to discuss since we started our effort in 2020, and houselessness potential area of reparations and form of composition, and under international law, there are four other areas of reparation, rehabilitation, rested to -- guarantee of not -- so it's up to the task force over the next six months to ascertain what are going to be the recommendation proposals in the area of houselessness, including composition. will it be the form of rehabilitation, restitution, satisfaction and guarantees of not repetition. we have to, have to, have to center the most vulnerable folks within the african american community, which includes the houselessness population. >> kamilah moore, think you for being with us. up next, my final thoughts,

don't go anywhere. don't go anywhere. that deal's so good we don't even need an eight-time all-star to tell you about it. wait what? get it before it's gone on the subway app! >> as we approach the end of

this year, the night, many of us are thinking about our new year's resolutions, many of which we keep or two or three weeks. let me make a recommendation to you. i remember growing up in the black church as a preacher. i heard a minister say something i would never forget. he said, when you die, you will have your birth date and then a dash and then your deaf day on your program at the funeral or in the tombstone. he said, people will not care about your birthday or your death day, don't care about what you do in that dash in the middle. the whole world stopped this week when pele died and then barbara walters and then pope benedict. we all remember the billions of

us, because what they did with the dash in the middle. they made their lives matter to millions of people. you may not matter to millions, but you should matter to some, and whatever your resolutions are, make sure that is working, that dash in the middle, so whatever you go off into history with your family and when time catches up with you and i, they will be able to say, it didn't matter that we were born or one we died, as much as it matters about the dash in the middle. that is my resolve for 2023. i will work my dash. that does it for me, thank you for watching, join me tomorrow at 5 pm eastern for the 12th annual ready awards. civil war is next. stay with us, for nbc breaking news updates throughout the night. have a blessed and happy new
