. good evening and welcome to politics nation. tonight's lead, picking a fight. last night in new york president-elect trump and

several of his most controversial allies took a post-election victory lap, attending a ufc event at madison square garden. the same venue where he held a race-baiting rally last month in the waning days of his campaign. the appearance comes at a time when trump seems to be gearing up for political combat. nbc news is reporting exclusively that the trump team is preparing a list of military offices for possible court- martials. and trump is announcing new cabinet picks nearly every day. many with backgrounds better suited for settling scores than solving the country's problems. we will cover that and much more on tonight's show. so let's get started. joining me now, kentucky governor andy beshear, a

democrat. governor, thanks for joining us. let's start with the trump team. we reported on this program yesterday the president-elect has picked an oil-fracking executive to preside over the department of energy. matt gaetz is his choice for attorney general although even senate republicans doubt he can be confirmed and rfk jr seen here eating mcdonald's with trump last night tapped for health and human services. what is your reaction to the people the president-elect seems intent surrounding himself with? >> reporter: well, the president has made some picks like north dakota governor, or marco rubio who i disagree with a lot on the issues. and then he made choices that are bonkers. i mean, these are folks like matt gaetz and rfk jr that are

unqualified and then in the incidence of matt gaetz he lacks the character to do that job. these are important areas with significant authority. also, thousands of employees and hundreds of millions of dollars in the budget. i mean we need to make sure that the senate steps up and does their job. they are supposed to be a constitutional check that says yes, mr. president you get to pick your cabinet secretaries but it is our job to determine if they are qualified for these incredibly important jobs the u.s. senators they take an oath to this country and not their political party and not this president-elect. so my hope is that while sure, they will give any president some difference they do their job and not let some of these picks move forward. >> now, as concerning as the cabinet picks are, the impact of trump's proposed tariffs could be even as or more significant. there is very little to stop

them from enacting them. the tax policy center found kentucky could face the largest tariff payment in the country under his plan. what are your thoughts on that? >> it is tough. it is tough for my people. if you think about something costs $10 and 20% tariff is put on it, people will pay $12. many voted for trump as we can now see from the data because he said he was going to lower the price of things. tariffs aren't going to do that. the last time trump was in office his tariffs on the eu led to a retaliation tariff on kentucky burbon that hurt the industry significantly. so, i have concerns but i hope that as they sit down and they think through this that they are at

least surgical and targeted. right now after the promises made in this election. that hurt a lot of people out there. >> while you and president- elect truth differ in trade you share about building projects, you announced products in shelbyville and west louisville that will create 2,000 jobs what are the areas where democrats and republicans can work together on the economy right now, and why isn't there more focus on them. >> reporter: we absolutely have to find common ground and then apply common sense for the common good of all of our people. and i believe that is, that is

a lot of what i put in my op ed in the "new york times." when most people wake up in the morning they are not thinking about politics they are thinking about their jobs and if they make enough to support their family. they are thinking about the next doctor's appointment or prescription for themselves or kids. the roads, the bridges they drive every single day. they are thinking about the public school, the quality of education that their kids are getting and they are thinking about how they feel about public safety in their community. none of those things are partisan. if people don't feel secure in those areas i don't think they get to whatever the issue of the day is in dc or whatever crazy thing some politician said the night before. so, certainly what i hope to see out of my party, i really love to see out of everybody because we can find common ground is making sure we focus on those things that matter to people the most and we spend the majority of our time trying to move the country not to the right or the left but forward in those areas. it lifts up democrats,

republicans, it brings us all along. >> now, before we lose you, governor, it is sunday and as you know i am a minister. >> yes, i do. >> i preach in louisville often. i know because of that you and your wife are deacons. so, let's talk a little about forgiveness. so much of the discussion right now in politics is about retribution. you and i both sat in the pews this very sunday alongside people who voted differently than us. how do we get from where we are now to healing and bringing the country together on things that matter to people that we all want to see served in our communities. >> reporter: i think first we focus on those areas that aren't political that lift everyone up. like i mentioned jobs, health care, infrastructure, public education and public safety. but then reverend, i think we share our why. when we share our why, what

drives us and how we make our decisions it helps other people understand us or us understand them even if we disagree. for me it is my faith. when i vetoed the nastiest antilbgtq bill that we ever seen last year in my election year i talked about it. my paight teaches me that every child is a child of god. so i was going to stand up for those kids. and while some in kentucky may of disagreed with the veto, they understood why i was doing what i was doing and they knew i was going to get back to creating jobs and lessening the cost of the health care and capping the price of insulin the next day. so, when we talk about our why, i think it gives people the grace and the space to maybe listen differently, hear a little bit differently and to have a conversation. i also think focusing on some of the extremism, not just the core of some issues but how far

they have been pulled. that makes people uncomfortable. i think most people want middle of the road policies that benefit their neighbor because you and i believe in that golden rule that says we love our neighbor as ourselves. even if i disagree with my neighbor i still want them to do well and i want their kids to do really well. >> let me ask you this and then i will let you go. your name has been tauted for running in 2028 for president. are you considering it? >> reporter: what i am focused on right now are two things, number one, i love my job. we just announced 1600 new jobs in shelbyville, making industrial batteries for utilities. it will change people's lives forever. cut the ribbon on the largest investment in several decades in west louisville, largest african american community, neighborhoods in kentucky that is incredible to be part of. i don't want to look forward i

want to live every day to do the most that i can for my people. here in kentucky but the other thing that i want to make sure of is that we get this message out that, you know, reasonable voices during this time where a lot of people are hurting that says let's focus. let's focus on these core issues that matter to every single american. because they will not just speak to undecided voters in the future, they will speak to everyone. and if we can bring democrats and republicans together through it we are even better off. >> well, that might be the commercial for beshear 2028 that you just saw. >> thank you for joining us. from kentucky to massachusetts. joining me now is attorney general angela campbell, a democrat, thank you for joining me today, attorney general. let's start with the news out of capitol hill. more than half of the senate

republicans privately say they don't see a path for now resigned florida congressman matt gaetz to be confirmed as trump's attorney general. you have been sounding the alarm about this pick, can you speak on why you find him so concerning? >> reporter: absolutely. good news to see senate republicans share the views of not only myself but so many others. i had the honor and privilege of serving as the attorney general of massachusetts. what i know to be true in this job you have to have incredible character you have to be someone that is of integrity, who is about the work, who understands the significance and importance of the rule of law. most importantly, delivers for people. here you have a nominee nominated when he was under investigation for serious allegations of sexual

misconduct including against minors associated himself with holocaust denier but with folks who do not care about the rule of law. and if you are the attorney general of this country you have to be about service, you have to be about integrity. you have to understand the rule of law. and put the people first. here the president-elect is putting people in there that serve the president first. >> they are layering, or lawyering up in anticipation of being criminally investigated by the trump investigation. trump spoke openly about retribution during the campaign and his choice of gates for attorney general. it is a good indicator he intends to make good on that promise. what is the fallout of that. >> it is significant. at the end of the day we serve, i serve as attorney general here in massachusetts but those

who are in service using their legal skills to, of course, work on behalf of the people and to protect the, not only the rule of law but the integrity of the democratic institutions. of course it is under threat. we need folks that are going to focus on the people. the president-elect promised his constituents he was going to deliver for them, lower prices on gods, make sure they -- goods, make sure they are not susceptible to scams especially elders, protect them, public safety, health and well being. what we are seeing instead is an agenda for loyalist that protect him, put him first, him before the rule of law, him before the people. and every constituent regardless of what party you are affiliated with should be concerned. this will require him to use for example taxpayer dollars in he is going to go after enemies or those he deems to be his

political enemies. these are resources that we, instead, should be using to protect the people, ensure they are safe in their communities and ensure the economic promises we made them those are implemented in realtime and of course for them and not for anything else. >> now, moving away from personal. the in coming trump administration is signaling intent to take action on a variety of policy fronts including reproductive rights, antidiscrimination law, and health care. what can state attorney generals do to fight back? when i look at tish james in new york, battles with president trump how do the attorney generals on a state level like you are, how do you get to protect the citizens while you have the national

government seemingly bent on doing these things in we believe what president-elect trump says he is going to do? >> reporter: attorney's generals will be on the frontlines in this new season. it is going to require a new season of leadership that is bold and courageous and unapologetic. i am blessed i get to work with democratic, a gs. we have been do -- ags. we have been doing the work, doing everiing to protect their access to health care and civil rights and economic well being. their climate and of course the environments in which they are living. and so much. we have been on the frontlines doing this work. so, that will not change come january with the president elect. if anything it will require us to work closer together which we have done. we are ready at the next level, right, to come together,

protect our constituents, it is important who your ag is but you can not solve a housing affordability crisis or a climate justice just by doing work in your state. they will expect to lead but to do it in collaboration with my ags across the country. we are proud of the work we are doing and we are ready. i am ready, to take on whatever may come while i may want to work in collaboration and i have an office that wants to do the same, we are prepared to do whatever is necessary to fight, to protect our constituents here in massachusetts. >> all right, that brings me and let's finish on this, immigration. it could, once again, be one of the first major legal fights in the trump term. trump chosen tom homan to be his border czar in charge of

carrying out mass deportation. homan threatened punishment against states and communities that resist. what can state ags do here? >> reporter: we have done significant work in the past. and i am blessed to have a team that saw the first trump administration and exercise leadership when let put forth the muslim ban to fight against that. we are prepared to fight against anything that violate the laws of our state or federal laws when it comes to immigration policies and of course the well being and protection of folks in our state including immigrants. i have to be clear on two things. as ags including in massachusetts, criminal bureau is working hard every day to take drugs and guns off of the street so our communities are state. in any of these cases we learn through an investigation that someone is here and does not have the proper documentation

and they committed a crime in our community they have been deported. this idea that we do not do our job, nonsense, but we lead with empathy and compassion, fighting to protect those that come to massachusetts just like the immigrants before them. in massachusetts this is jewish, irish, italian, you name it. and providing them with a pathway to citizenship. recognize contributions to our culture but also to our economy and our health care system. so, we are going to lead with compassioning with that in mind and do everything we can to protect folks to know what their rights are and to make sure they are afford a pathway. because president-elect has the power in congress on both sides they should now roll up their sleeves and do what is necessary at the federal level to give us pathways to citizenship for the folks that are choosing to come here. that is now on their hands to

get that done. we will work in partnership to do that piece, too, while we do ours. >> massachusetts attorney general andrea campbell, thank you for being with us this evening. >> thank you for having me. coming up, my message to democrats and republicans on capitol hill. the time is now to push back against president trump's radical unqualified and dangerous cabinet picks. that is next ied and dangerous cabinet picks. that is next do you question the tradeoffs of treating? with ubrelvy, there's another option. ubrelvy works fast, most have migraine pain relief within 2 hours. you can treat it anytime, anywhere, without worrying where you are, or if it's too late. don't take with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. allergic reactions to ubrelvy can happen. most common side effects were nausea and sleepiness. migraine pain relief starts with you. ask about ubrelvy. learn how abbvie could help you save.

. this week we got a clear picture of what kind of second term we can expect from president-elect trump. based on the picks for his team that will surround him in the white house. attorney general he named matt gaetz who was the target of an fbi sex trafficking investigation that ended

without charges. for secretary of defense, selected peter segseth, fox news host who questioned the role of women and lbgtq people in our military. and has called for the firing of "woke" generals. and for health and human services trump says he is going with robert f. kennedy jr who challenged the scientific consensus on topics like vaccination, food safety and fluoridation in water. hard to see how any of these people will help ease concerns over the economy and inflation which he told pollsters were their top priorities in this election. the political firestorm over these picks were only adding to the dysfunction in washington that stands in the way of solving americans real problems. already, trump and his allies are hinting at using recess a .

appointments that even republicans find people unqualified and some cases unhinged. president lincoln put together room of rivals. trump wants to not do it to create a constitutional crisis. i would call on lawmakers to steel their spines and push back on these outrageous choices. it might be the first fight of this term but it certainly will not be the last. we'll be right back. be the las. we'll be right back. is being stolen from us. i can't believe this is the world we live in, where we're losing the freedom to control our own bodies. we need your support now more than ever. go online, call, or scan this code, with your $19 monthly gift. and we'll send you this "care. no matter what" t-shirt. it is your right to have safe health care.

political version of the occasion. joining me now to talk about it and other things on is my political panel. former democratic senator from alabama doug jones and political contributor matthew doud. matthew, it looks like trump is picking a new fight. exclusively the in-coming administration is compiling a list of military officers for possible court-martial. everyone on the list was involved with the withdrawal from afghanistan. operation trump set into motion by making a deal with the taliban in 2020. you understand the military well. your son is an iraq war veteran. what impact will these kind of trials have on our armed forces? >> reporter: well, i am not surprised because donald trump

told us exactly what he was going to do. this is one of the things him and his folks said they were going to do. i mean i think it is a chilling effect on anybody that serves in government especially the military in this. i think what it is going to do is undermind our ability in the world to exercise our power. anyone who watch us do this and it makes us feel like a third world country in the manner of which we are doing this kind of thing. it undermining the military. it under minds the military. >> trump's first attorney general with that in mind and your experience as a former prosecutor how would you assess the prospects of matt gaetz who

would become the 6th attorney general to serve under trump. >> reporter: you know, matt gaetz would be destroyer not disruptor. i am hearing people say people of america voted to disrupt the status quo in washington. matt gaetz is not a disruptor. you have some disruption every time you have a presidential transition. some greater, some less. but he is a destroyer. he literally said, he got this job because he wanted to, as he said, cut off their effing heads, that is what was the reported quote. he is going after people, he will be the attorney general who does not care anything about the rule of law. this is a supremely unqualified nominee. both in his background, his professionalism and the lack of

character that he has and the respect that he has, that he does not have for the rule of law. >> your opinion of matt gaetz if he were to become attorney general? >> reporter: i agree completely with senator jones. i don't think he is going to be. enough republicans sent a signal it is a bridge too far for them. i don't think it will make it. i find it interesting. donald trump won the precedency. he has the right to appoint a cabinet at all levels to accomplish his vision but does not have the right to put in incompetent people. matt gaetz and others incompetent and corrupt. what i fear he goes down, which i think he will, justifiably so but then he appoints somebody incompetent or corrupt, not both. and incomp inincompetent person

is able to get through because they can not stand up to it. >> easy to get distracted by matt gaetz or rfk jr. his obscure picks are concerning. fracking executive chris wright, no climbace crisis and we are not i midst of problems. he asked for a billion dollars from oil ceos vowing to kill electric cars and alternative energy. are these the first signs of trump making good on that promise? >> i mean, if this was not so dangerous it would be hilarious what he is doing. it is like pointing hannibal lector. he is at a level of trolling that he seems to be doing and

as i say it would be funny if it was not so absolutely dang dangerous. >> "washington post" reports fox and friends host peter hegseth. he paid a woman who accused him of sexual assault. he maintains a relationship was consensule. consensual. there was a letter written bite accused that nbc news has not obtained. describing it normal procedures and vetting processes are ignored at a whim. what are the possible consequences for the country of this level of recklessness? >> reporter: well, you know, i think unfortunately rev, they are serious.

and, you know, everything that we see right now is that the president-elect is putting people in there a whim loyalty to him. i am not sure matt gaetz does not make it. if you start connecting the dots between him and his defense secretary with his national security nominee with his energy nominee, what he did is laying down markers, he is essentially threatening members of the united states senate. if you don't go along with us i will blow up your precious senate and precious rules, under the constitution i can call a recess of congress to do what i want to do. that is the fear, that is his mo, laying down the markers right now, starting to bully folks that they will go ahead and do and bend to his will simply to keep the senate from blowing up and to keep the

institution of the senate somewhat intact even though they will have shirked their responsibilities. i think it is a really dangerous place for the country, democracy, i hope people are watching this and connecting the dotes closely. it is not a good sign for where we are going to be headed in the future. >> i am out of time. matthew the same question to you, better for the democrats to let it go through and let them blow up and the country see they are incompetent and can not rise to the occasion even if we disagree on policy they can not manage the jobs that they are being proposed for? >> reporter: no. i don't think it is better. better for people to stand up on a moral ground and exercise what their belief and democracy is. i think people will be harmed. people in america will be harmed. it is absolutely important for the democrats and republicans to stand up where they can.

otherwise if they let it go, yes, harm will happen but actual human beings will be harmed. >> all right. doug jones and matthew doud, thank you both for being with us. coming up, positive progress is possible. one baltimore neighborhood is celebrating a year of peace. the city's mayor joins us to talk about it, next joins us to talk about it, next have you ever considered getting a walk-in tub? well, look no further. proudly made in tennessee, a safe step walk-in tub is the best in it's class. the ultra-low easy step helps keep you safe from having to climb over those high walled tubs, allowing you to age gracefully in the home you love. and now, back by popular demand, for a limited time, when you purchase your brand-new

. welcome back to "politics nation." over 365 days and counting. baltimore's brooklyn neighborhood has gone a year now without a single homicide. after gunfire from a block shooting killed two young adults and injured 28 others. joining me now is baltimore mayor brandon scott. mr. mayor, congratulations on this major milestone and your re-election. you are the first baltimore mayor to be re-elected following a full term in 20 years. mayor scott, the block party is on everyone who stays in the brooklyn neighborhood schedule, every summer, what went wrong last year and how did it lead to this year without a murder at all? >> reporter: well, you see it reverend and thank you for

congratulating me on re- election. i will say we are celebrating progress but we are not celebrating the end of stopping violence in baltimore city. what happened last year is human conflict and the access to illegal firearms and people's inability to deal with their conflict in a better way led to a mass shooting in our city. we saw what happened there. what you have seen now, now that we have 413 days and counting of no homicides within that brooklyn area just shows that the work of getting ahead of violence and addressing the root causes of violent crime in our communities makes a difference. makes it more powerful following that horrendous lots of two young people and others injured. that is what happened here. from that day on you saw folks working hand in hand in my office, every part of city government, everyone working

together, the police, community, the mayor's office, rec and park, housing, everyone. that is the work that we have to do each and every day. we are not going to rest on our laurels, yesterday, we had a historic 20% reduction of homicides in baltimore, reverend sharpton, we are beating that with 24% reduction in a 34% reduction in nonfatal shootings and we are doing that by having a comprehensive approach to dealing with gun violence, focusing on the individuals that are most likely be perpetrators and removing guns. >> as you know i have a national chapter in baltimore. larry young and others tell me the type of progress that you are seeing certainly does not happen overnight. in fact your city's flash of antiviolence program safe streets ramped up its work in the area almost immediately after the tragedy. what more can you tell us about how safe streets works and how

you got the community on board. >> reporter: listen, this is why safe streets works. we have to understand that when you are talking about people, reverend sharpton, that are at that point they are so mentally broken and frustrated and they feel like they have to shoot somebody, only people who have the credibility in that neighborhood and in these circles can convince them not to do that. not everyone can do this work. it takes a special kind of person, incredible messenger. that is what we do. hire folks that used to be out there on those corners with those guns and done their time in prison to go out there in front of the incidents before they raise to the level of violence. they were on the ground before and immediately after the brooklyn day mass shooting and have been there every single day since. and that is what they do. they help folks. we heard a young man the other day after celebration talk about how the safe streets guys got him connected to a place

that is helping him get a job and get his ged. that helped him change his life, right? it is important to note that work is spreading. when you think about their focus, the police focus, all of the other agencies that are focusing. homicides are down 86% and nonfatal shoot across the rest of the neighborhood around them. those incredible messengers are very important. they can deliver a message in a way that other people can not. >> now, despite the dip in violent crimes, members of baltimore city council's public safety committee held hearings this week where community members expressed continued concerns some complained about a rise in youth crime. especially robberies. what can be done to help residents feel more safe? >> i am glad you asked that question. i want everyone to know. we are going to continue to do our part, right.

and robberies are down. we have a 24% reduction in homicides, 34 in nonfatal shootings. carjackings are down 10%. auto thefts are down 40%. and even we caught up with robberies. what we have to work with our partners in state is to make sure we have a system that we have a governor that wants to repair the mess that later hogan left is -- larry hogan left, they are not arresting the same adults and young people for the same crime over and over and over again. we will not rest until we are able to make sure that every person in baltimore feels safe. we will also acknowledge the historic levels of reduction that we are having in our city. >> you spoke out on social media after your own re- election to shine light on the second trump precedency. you said and i quote, if he follows through on some of his

violent promises we know we are looking at challenges in the years ahead. end of e quote. we all remember the president- elect is not exactly a fan of baltimore. so, mr. mayor, how do you intend to keep the charm in charm city? >> reporter: we are going to do the work, reverend sharpton, what we hope is the president and his folks see when they talk about violence in the city they can see baltimore had a historic reduction two years in a row and why would they want to come and disrupt that progress. we will put our head down and do the work. we will have to brace for what we don't know will come. we have to think about getting rid of the department of education will impact schools and title 1 and folks with ieps and thinking about the infrastructure projects and the tunnel, all of those things that we need to make baltimore a better version of itself. but what we have to do most

importantly, control what we control. that is deliver our services the right way, a better way for our people while we work to make sure that our federal government understands the importance of the cities and understands they do not need to disrupt the progress being made in cities like baltimore and around the country when it comeses to violent crime. >> you mentioned the state governor, all of this takes money and are you afraid that with this new administration that the federal money needed to help continue this won't be there? >> it is a big concern for us. we are still going to have the best congressional delegation a mayor can have. even now with the edition of our first black woman senator. we know how important it is for this work to continue. this, our group violence reduction strategy is something that our federal partners

bought in early and been there day one to help us grow that. we have been working great with the office of gun violence prevention through vice president harris and president biden. we want to continue that work and we are bracing just in the event they cut that kind of funding. we hope they don't. then we are going to have to double down in local, state and partners across the country to understand this work that is done especially around violence reduction across the cities should not go away no matter who is in the oval office >> baltimore mayor brandon scott, thank you for being with us this evening. up next, my final thoughts, stay with us up next, my final thoughts, stay with us - bye, bye cough. - later chest congestion. hello 12 hours of relief. 12 hours!! not coughing? hashtag still not coughing?! mucinex dm gives you 12 hours of relief from chest congestion and any type of cough, day or night. mucinex dm. it's comeback season.
