on this new hour of ayman, and enraging theme has emerged with trump's cabinet picks. is he assembling a revenge tour against the #metoo movement. and how did rfk junior go from comparing trump to hitler to having a seat on his cabinet? and public schools financial incident to use faith-based curriculum. i'm ayman mohyeldin , let's do it. we are not going back. that was a mainstay of vice president kamala harris's

campaign, vowing not to go back to the misogynistic culture and backlash to it that gave rise to the #metoo movement. it is clear that donald trump's proposed cabinet is, in part, assembling into a revenge tour of sorts against that movement. this week many have called it trump's anti-tran08 cabinet. sadly, that still sticks after matt gaetz withdrawing after allegations of sexual misconduct including sex with a minor at a party. still embroiled with sexual abuse or misconduct allegations, himself. here is trump's pick for defense secretary, former fox news host pete hegseth who is facing scrutiny under his abuse of a woman at a women's convention. a report by the monterey police department was released

wednesday night, detailing the accusers account, claiming that hegseth took her phone and blocked her from leaving her hotel room after sexually assaulting her. he was not charging has denied any wrongdoing. he still has trump's backing, and the support of some republican senators. there is also, of course, robert kennedy junior. trump's's pick to run the department of health and human services. in july, kennedy was accused of groping one of his family's former 90s nanny. when asked about it on podcast, kennedy responded saying, quote, i'm not a church boy. i have so many skeletons in my closet. and then, of course, linda mcmahon, trump's's pick to run the department of education. see she and her husband founded the company known as the wwe. they're both accused of knowing about and failing to stop the sexual explication of young boys by a ringside announcer. the lawsuit filed in october alleges five boys were sexually abused by the organizations ringside announcer, and the ring

crew chief, melvin phillips junior, who died in 2012. the mcmahon's are accused in the lawsuit of criminal negligence, by allowing phillips to remain at the company for years. mcmahon's lawyer has caused the allegations false. and if it is not a member of the cabinet, it's a member of trump's inner circle embroiled in scandal. take his new bessie, billionaire elon musk. while we are told that musk will provide more of an outsider role, leading the so- called department of government efficiency, he certainly has trump's ear. musk and his company are currently being sued by former employees claiming that musk ordered their firings after they accused the company of tolerating sexual harassment in the workplace. the lawsuit claims musk", runs his company in the dark ages, treating women as sexual objects to be evaluated on their bra size, bombarding the workplace with lewd sexual banter, and offering the reprise to those who challenge him in this animal house environment that if they don't

like it they can seek employment elsewhere. spacex did not respond to requests for comment on the lawsuit. when trump won in 2016 it sparked the rise of the #metoo movement, which still seeks to hold powerful men accountable if they abuse their power. but it also sparked an ugly backlash from conservatives who sadly the #metoo as a threat. let's not forget who sits atop of this anti-#metoo cabinet. a man who has been found liable for sexually abusing and defaming aging carole. a man who campaigned on claims that he would protect women, whether they like it or not. let's my panel for the hour, daniel moody, host of the daniel moody show and cohost of democracy on youtube. dino, host of the dean of the dola show on sirius xm. and it's great to have you all

with this. i will start with you, daniel. and your reaction to this. let me review how this was characterized in the atlantic. for one cabinet nominee to be accused of sexual impropriety may be regarded as a misfortune. for two cabinet nominees to be thus accused looks like carelessness. for four, well, that moves beyond carelessness into outright malice. at a certain point, trump has to know what he is doing with these picks . >> yes, he doesn't care. we have to understand that the toxic masculinity is a part of the maga brand. that is what masculinity means to them. it is the opportunity and the ability to do whatever they want. to grab women wherever they want, to speak to women however they want. it is not a glitch, it is a feature of maga . so it should surprise no one that this is what his cabinet looks like. i mean, look at one of his first supreme court justice picks, brett kavanaugh, who we forget. remember, brett kavanaugh was accused of sexual assault. we listen to dr. christine blasey ford. we heard all the things he had done. and then find out after the

fact that they stopped all of the other information about brett kavanaugh into a draw. these are things that donald trump likes. birds of a feather flock together, and that is what this cabinet is. >> to daniel's point, even if you wanted to kind of give trump the benefit of the doubt, which would be absolutely insane, you can say that hegseth's allegations came out after he was nominated. maybe he was a high enough profile, people didn't necessarily know he had these issues. elon musk, linda mcmahon, rfk junior, and trump himself, all of their accusations and allegations were all known to everybody, and therefore you can't say that trump did not know about their allegations and accusations, like you could with hegseth . >> i think with donald trump it is some kind of manly thing. like what you're doing? this is what i did. they talk about it and brag about it. donald trump joined this campaign and literally defended harvey weinstein, that he was treated unfairly. donald trump adjudicated a . we

live in a society where sexual violence against women is epidemic. every two minutes or less a woman is violated sexually our nation, or a victim of the soul. every day three women are killed by the husband with her ex. this is the society we live in. and donald trump is going to increase those numbers by salivating this. and what is the message to them? this is fine. do whatever you want to women. we've got your back. that is what is so disturbing about this. >> chuck, it's wild to think that it was just a few years ago that this movement actually managed to hold some of trump's allies to point accountable during his first term. he recently had an interview with andy plaster, who withdrew his nomination after an interview of his ex-wife accusing him of abuse. he denied the allegations. of course there was rob porter, a trump white house aide who resigned after he was accused

by his two ex-wives of abuse. that sense of accountability is gone in trump 2.0. >> that's exactly right. let me take a moment to speak up for all you manly men out there like me, who grew up hunting and fishing, and in donald trump's mind, likes a good fight. the scars on my face are actually from people hitting me in my face, and that is what donald trump thinks are manly. but let me tell all you boys out there, and i mean boys. you can be a manly man and not be a sexist a whole. you need to learn how to respect and love women. i grew up around a bunch of women, i drive a four-wheel drive, and i talk like this. it's not made up, and i'm as manly as any men out there that donald trump can think of. but you can do this and act right. none of these men act right. there's nothing wrong with being a manly man. there's nothing wrong with being a man. there is something wrong when you disrespect women in the ways that you have described over and over in one thing after another. i also am here in my home, and i have a set of cabinets downstairs, and i wouldn't really think of cabinets the way you will describe the

cabinet. my cabinet has dishes in one, sinks in the other. i even have a cabinet where i keep my bourbon. this whole group of people kind of sounds more like a junk drawer and not a cabinet when you are thinking about cabinets. >> that's a very good way to say it. part of the reason why this is happening, to chuck's point, is because of people like lindsey graham, who when presented with hegseth allegations, this is how he responded. i mean, this was when he was presented with a police report. he said he incorrectly dismissed the police report, by calling it a press statement, nbc news actually directed him that the allegations came from a police report, not a press statement, to which he replied i don't care. >> right, because they don't care. they don't care about women. they don't care about sexual assault. they don't care about violence against women. because, as marjorie taylor greene said this very week, if we were to go after everyone in our party, in the republican party, then the democrats would have a super majority. i'm like white, what? did you just admit to the fact

that you know that the republican party is filled with sexual assaulters? and she did. but that is exactly what lindsey graham said. they don't care. and if they don't care, there is no way to shame them. i miss shame. i miss when people were embarrassed. i miss when a story like this would cast you outside of politics for the rest of your life. now it is a badge of honor. and that is what maga has done. they have turned this kind of sexual violence against women into a badge of honor that they can joke about. they are selling t-shirts right now that say your body, my choice. this is what they are going to teach young boys coming up in school and growing into men. donald trump and this cabinet is going to be the model for boys in this country. >> he, of course, infamously won despite the 2016 access hollywood tape of grabbing women. he was found viable last week in the court for sexually abusing and defaming ej and carole. he still won this time around. it is not a surprise that he is stacking his cabinet with

this people, because ultimately, voters knew about who donald trump was. they hurt him, they know about the accusations and allegations, and his convictions about these things. and yet, they still chosen to be the president of this country. >> and if you listen to republicans, he won by a landslide. he got a mandate. he won by less than 1%, a little under 49%, 48%. look, you take a step back, what kind of society are we trying to say is okay? cultural norms are moving backwards. we are going before #metoo , where women are not going to be believed. and if pete hegseth gets confirmed as the secretary of defense, the military already has a history of a problem with sexual abuse. and it will go even higher. what woman or man sexually abused in the military will come forward when you have a secretary of defense who set a woman accusing him of rape is a liar and they are all fine with him. that is a big issue with society. there moving the norms backwards, and for someone with three young nieces, and concern

for them and every woman growing up in this nation. >> was the play here? how do they either message around all of these allegations, try to stonewall as much as they can his confirmation process. i mean, it's going to be hard. you're going to have to appeal to some republicans with sanity, to say hey, this is too many. one is too many, four is, as we have said, beyond malpractice. >> i know people hate for me to say this, but the midterms are less than two years away. and you can start the contrast right now. me and my firm ran races from new york all the way to california. all the way from wisconsin arizona. and every focus group we were in with women, only white women. i don't put this on black women or latinas. mainly white women saying yeah, you know, he was good for this, good for that. having and hauling around gas and groceries. those women don't have a shorter chance to make a decision, because what these republicans are doing is showing you what they are and who they are.

there was a lot of well- intentioned republicans out there who thought they were making the right choice around gas and groceries, but this is a group of folks who really don't care about gas and groceries, if they would have this kind of representation representing them. so democrats, let's make it conscious, let's talk to people about this, and not be scared of this. get in their face, and if i say bmn, show the difference between our party and their party. >> chuck rocco, with the official kickoff to the 26 midterms. you heard it live right here on msnbc. everyone, please stick around. we got a lot more to discuss, because we have to talk about what comes next. for this guy, matt gaetz. gaet cool right? look at this craftmanship. i mean they even got my nostrils right. it's just nice to know that years after i'm gone this guy will be standing the test of ti... he's melting! oh jeez... nooo... oh gaa... only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪

now that he will be u.s. attorney general, what in the world will matt gaetz do? within the span of just eight days, the maga shock jock resigned from congress, ultimately found himself withdrawing his name is trump's

attorney general. gaetz now says he will not return to congress next term, all of it because of the fallout over sexual assault allegations, which he denies. the house ethics committee was set to publicly share his report on gaetz, then said this week it had not reached an agreement on whether to release it. democrats have moved to force a full house vote on the matter, but if they cannot, what happened to the quest for ability, for the truth inside that report? especially now that some republicans see the report on gaetz as a relevant with him out of the picture, at least for now. danielle and dean and chuck are back with me. your thoughts on this. on one hand, he saw the republicans, who love to cover up all of their dirty business and to cover up for one another , they seem to say okay, he's out of the picture, there is no reason to release this. we are not going to release it. and yet, as dean was saying today, there were some rumblings that matt gaetz's political future might actually go into turbo drive because he may be seeking a top position in florida politics. >> they are gremlins.

they never actually go away. they just continue to multiply and recycle back through maga world. the fact is, we know that if this report actually exonerated matt gaetz then it would be everywhere. right? we would be talking about it all the time. we know that it doesn't. we know that it probably paints an even worse picture than the majority of people already have about him. and i think the reality is look, his constituents, they know who he is. if you go down into pensacola, they know who matt gaetz is. they know his affinity for underage girls. and they don't care. so he has made a name for himself because he has allowed mouth. but he is also made a lot of enemies. unless he is appointed into a position, i don't think that he runs and wins statewide. but that's me. let me not say that. they always have a boomerang effect. >> okay, so let's play this out for a little bit. matt gaetz, i mean, the person

i'm watching is ron desantis. he has a choice to make. on one hand, if matt gaetz says he wants to run for governorship, for governor of florida, ron desantis may say you know what? i'm going to try to captain that his knee and move them over to the senate, parking at the senate and make them the florida senator replacing marco rubio. that, of course, it seems like he is pushing for laura trump to be the senator in florida. so matt gaetz, he could go one or two ways. if ron desantis wants to get rid of them and he may then face him in the primaries. >> can we do the breaking news thing? right before he came on air, a maga state rep in florida posted matt gaetz with an ex- governor of florida, and matt gaetz responded positively to that. i don't know if he's going to run or not. here's the thing. the entire ethics report could come out and the gop maga base woodstove over and we just talked about donald trump, the guy is adjudicated as a rapist. he has committed sexual assault. he has bragged about and access hollywood tape. 18 to 20 other women have come forward. this gop does not care, they

celebrate this. he can taunt us, he can do whatever he wants. i don't think it's any problem for him to run again as a republican, and win the nomination, to be blunt. that is today's gop. people should understand, it is the party of sexual abuse. period. >> chuck, your thoughts on what happens to gaetz, who said, himself, that he had become a distraction when he was withdrawing his name and what his future might look right. >> still the most dangerous place in america, no matter where he is, is between him and a camera. he wants attention anyway he can get it, and i can promise you that. he has always wanted to be the governor. i run a lot of campaigns down in florida. yes, democrats still get elected in florida. i like it a town council down in islamorada mainly to get free fishing, but that's another story for another day. what's really going on is what's going to happen with the senate. what's going to happen with that appointment. to your point, there are rumors out there that desantis wants to be that senator so he may just put in a place older.

let me assure you that gaetz is not that place older. it would be somebody else. i see him starting a podcast, doing something political around the trump orbit, not in the administration, so he can stay relevant. the main thing he wants to do is continue to build a national i.d., and more important, a national maga email list so he can raise money from low dollar donors like donald trump would do. that is really the fuel to get him where he wants to be next in his political career. >> this is not a question specifically about gaetz, but more the strategy of how trump has picked his cabinet. but his side of the specific allegations, but in terms of overwhelming the republican senators by saying i'm giving you four, five top-tier candidates that are fully -- >> top-tier? >> in the maga world. as you said, this is not a bug, but a feature. i'm giving you all of these people that have these allegations against them, so you you are going to have to pick and choose which ones you try to block, which ones you might vote for, which ones you can't vote for. and it seemed like matt gaetz was one that had consensus was

not going to pass, and perhaps that's why he withdrew. do you see other nominations getting jammed up, as well? good pete hegseth not make his way to the defense department? >> well, i think it's important for people to understand that matt gaetz didn't receive the favor of senators, not because of the ethics report, it is because they don't like him. because again, dean just laid out all of the ways that donald trump has been a sexual predator, then a sexual harasser, all of these things. so we've seen this. it is not the fact that matt gaetz had an ethics report that all of a sudden republicans in the senate were like my god, we can't possibly have this. it's the fact that they don't like him and he has made a lot of enemies on capitol hill. that being said, i think that pete hegseth is a possible one that is like a 50-50 chance. because he has absolutely no experience. and i think that for some republicans that actually still

care about how our military does, both abroad in defending our quote unquote democracy that we have right now, somebody that has absolutely no experience may not be the person that they want in charge. >> by the way, when you guys came up with the name democracy- ish, did you have a situation in mind that we would like to be on the cusp of losing our democracy? >> i consider myself a profit. no, i'm just getting. it seemed like america was winding down. >> the quick thing, we know from the reporting now, we know that he had sex with a minor. we know that they have records of $10,000 that a federal prosecutor had that he paid women for sex . where was merrick garland's doj? why in 2023 did they not charge him with a crime? the same reason we talked about two weeks ago on the show. merrick garland failed us with donald trump. >> history will not be kind to merrick garland when we look back at the past four years and

the pursuit of account ability and justice for a lot of these maga acolytes that could've been stopped. don't go anywhere, we are going to squeeze in a quick break. on the other side of it there is now a second person named to trump's cabinet who has compared him to hitler. their words, not ours. ours. fa taken once every 8 weeks. fasenra is not for sudden breathing problems. serious allergic reactions may occur. get help for swelling of your face, mouth, tongue, or trouble breathing. don't stop your asthma treatments without talking with your doctor. tell your doctor if your asthma worsens or you have a parasitic infection. headache and sore throat may occur. ask your doctor if fasenra is right for you. my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis symptoms kept me... out of the picture. now i have skyrizi. ♪ keeping my plans, i'm feeling free. ♪ ♪ control of my uc means everything to me. ♪ ♪♪ ♪ control is everything to me. ♪

is becoming a pattern, donald trump filling his administration with people who have compared him to adolf hitler. it is becoming a pattern. first was his vice president elect jd vance, who said in 2016 that trump may prove to be america's hitler. if that was not inflammatory enough, he added that trump was cultural heroine. he makes people feel better for a bit but he cannot fix what ails them, and one day they will realize that. eight years later, and vance has now become trump's number one dealer. now trump's pickford secretary of health and human services may have out done vance. in a newly discovered episode

of kennedy's radio show from 2017, not only did he compare trump to hitler, he also compared trump supporters to nazi . take a listen to this audio from 2016 where kennedy praises and then reads this passage about trump, his supporters, and, notably, the powerful people who have aligned themselves with trump. >> one of the things, and you write so beautifully. your stuff is so fun to read. but you write about trump. the way that you build a truly vicious nationalist movement is to let a relatively small court of belligerent idiots to a much larger group of opportunists and spineless fellow travelers whose primary function is to turn a blind eye to things. we may not have that many outright nazi in america, but we have plenty of cowards and bootleggers. with those fleshy dominoes start tumbling into the trump

camp. >> so if trump is like hitler and his supporters are belligerent idiots, then by kennedy's own calculation, doesn't that make him one of those opportunist, spineless fellow travelers and bootleggers? my panel is back with me. or chuck, your thoughts on this tape? we should mention that can be put out a statement saying that he regrets his past comments and that he takes pride in serving with trump. but this hitler comparison seems to be a theme among those in trump in inner circle now. >> it is just overload. it is classic trump, but it is so sad to see it from somebody named kennedy, whose family has been an icon in a party i have been a part of for almost 36 years. it's bad enough that when you mention his name you talk about vaccine denials. all of a sudden there is something called a brain worm. and then we talk about it a bear cub in central park or cutting off the head of a whale. for you at home, i know it's late on a saturday night, but

i'm not making any of that up, and god, i wish i was making it up. but hitler comments, hold my beer. it just keeps on coming. i am sitting less than three blocks from a full football stadium that is named after his father, because his name meant something back in the day to democrats. it meant something to america. and for it to be the way we are doing it right now with this guy, the person who did all the things i just said, none of that is made up. and the one that is going to be the hhs secretary? it is crazy. >> it is, for a variety of reasons. even if the colorado governor seems to think that rfk junior might be a good pick because they're going to be able to drink raw milk again. let me ask you about this, because it seems that in trump world it doesn't matter what you said about him so long as you now in the knee, kiss the ring, and praise him. >> that's the truth. we have lived through this right here. >> marco rubio, rfk, jd vance, lindsey graham. >> right, if trump was picking a cabinet of people who have not referred to him as hitler,

there's a handful of people left in this country. to be honest, he doesn't care. and i interviewed mary trump for the election, and mary said on air in my interview that if she went back to donald trump and said hey, look, i made a mistake, i was wrong, he would accept her back and welcome her back. and he is transactional and everything. you can't hurt him, really. and to him, okay, you didn't like me, now you like me, it shows everybody how beloved i am. and it's fine. if you're going to help them today he's with you. and the minute you are not helpful, under the bus. this statement when matt gaetz was out, he did not attack the senators. garbage. i discard you when you are no longer helpful. if you're helpful, whatever you want as long as you come back around. >> interesting thing with rfk junior is that he will scrutiny by democrats for his positions, but he will also faced by republicans over his views on abortion, which do not align with this extremist position that the republican party has now taken and potentially even a national abortion ban that

might be in the works. >> anybody that does not want a waterborne disease should not want to be the head of hhs. he wants to take a right out of water. he is nuts, right? he believes that vaccines cause all types of things, either cause people to benine or cause them to have autism. he is not a serious person, nor should he be in charge of the health of this nation. so yeah, he's going to face, i think is another candidate that has a lot of uphill baggage, and this not being the biggest thing, unfortunately, which is crazy. him calling trump hitler is not really the deathknell to him. >> i wanted to share this post because i thought this post really sums up rfk in a very smart way. this is from dr. syed in michigan. he ran a very populist campaign. he says rfk strick, say the wrong things for the right reasons. yes, altar processed foods are bad. less because of additives, more because of processed sugars and fats.

yes, pharma is gritty, not because they manufacture vaccines, but because they set astronomical prices for pharmaceutical drugs. isn't the problem with confronting rfk's conspiracy theories the fact that a lot of his complaints about the system are correct. he has an appeal. it's easy to come out and say processed food is bad. and we need to be careful, because big pharma is greedy and won't stop. and then, when you kind of dig below the surface, you see the what he's actually offering are not real solutions, but were conspiracy theories. >> look, he does these populist things. i have friends who say to me did you see what rfk junior said about something, and they will actually like it. like a normal person. they do you see the other stuff he said? and they say no, or they discount it. this is this odd populism, you see one thing you like and forget everything else. finally somebody saying something you believe in, and you feel like nobody else has said it before, and you are like but it is part of a perfect storm of horribleness with this guy.

but they are like i like this one part of the storm. >> how do you combat that? he goes out there, and like i said, i know a lot of people, nutritionists and others who like the appeal of having somebody out there, and i was saying it kind of jokingly earlier with jared polis and colorado, who has come out in support of rfk junior, as somebody who wants healthier food, something everybody in america can agree on, we need healthier food. we need better standards. and yet, you get somebody like rfk junior, who is weaving and all of this a lot of conspiracy theories that are not getting the kind of attention that the shiny objects of better food, less processed food, less sugary drinks are getting. >> if i was putting together the strategy for this, then i would go after him, i would really centered around the kids. and you can say chuck, he has been against anti-vaccines for a long time. let's talk about the kids he killed in samoa with his false narrative. we have not been out there talking about what this will do

to babies. anybody out there who has had a baby. my son is gone, i've got grandsons now. but there's a special love around those children and protecting at all costs those children. and i would do that. the last piece is there is a reason why senators are elected to six years. it frees them up to not be under the political pressure that a house member is under. so when he goes before them to go see if they are going to allow him to be the hhs secretary, there's a lot less pressure, because many of them, 66% of them, do not have to have elections two years from now. i think that is exactly where you are going to see some tough questions. two make everyone, please stick around for a special edition of lone star state worst of the week. we will tell you about that after the break. eak.

his mass deportation plans. in a letter to trump this week, texas land commissioner don buckingham said that her office is, quote, fully prepared to allow a facility built for the largest deportation of violent criminals. and in another win for the maga agenda, the texas education board has approved a new bible- based curriculum in elementary schools. it is called the bonnet learning, and it infuses bible- based teachings such as the golden rule, and lessons from the book of genesis. the curriculum, of course, is optional. but there is a financial incentive for school districts that adopt it. they get $60 per student. my panel is back with me, so i will start with you, daniel. more than 100 people, educators, parents, students waited on this curriculum. can't say they think it's a good idea, but people out there are pretty worried about it. what do you think of texas? >> i can't say what i think of

texas, but here's what i will say. are they making them by trump bibles? or is it a bible of your picking? what bible are we using for this curriculum? to me, it's insane that we talk about religious freedom, but apparently that only pertains if you are a christian in this country. because, again, we have a multitude of religions. so you're telling me that if somebody wanted to propose curriculum that was around the quran or the torah or what have you, that we would be offering that in texas? this is rife for a lawsuit, because there is no separation between church and state, they want to teach the golden rule but this is who they chose for their president-elect? miss me with it. >> you will be missed. let me play from you a sound bite from a seventh grader who weighed in on this. this is a private school student. watch and i will get your thoughts on the other side of it. >> do you want to protect the

rights of a parent to choose what their student loans, vote against this proposal. if you want to protect the constitution of the united states, vote against this proposal. if you want the best of the students of texas, vote against this proposal. our public schools are not sunday schools. we should teach about religion, not teach religion. if you do pass these materials, at least tell us who wrote them. >> is good. >> he should have his own show. >> first of all, i am selling my own chiron's that i have signed, and ayman is doing the show. big hit, big seller. >> made in china, as well? >> look, if you're going to teach genesis, the old testament, are you also going to teach children what it says in the old testament, but if woman is not a virgin on her wedding night she is going to be stoned to death? are you going to teach kids that if on the sabbath you works you should be put to death? that's all in the old testament. genesis is one of the five books in the old testament. so that is right in there.

let's be honest, what are you going to teach? you should not teach the bible at all, but you can teach beautiful things, like in matthew that you are hungry and you fed them, you are a stranger and you welcomed them in. but they are doing the opposite of the new testament. nothing beautiful, nothing love. they're using it to demonize and foster hate. this gop, it is games, it is showmanship, and nothing about jesus or the teachings of the bible. >> the ironic thing in all of this is that republicans, conservatives, they love to label schools as bastions of the far left and the woke ideology. they are banning books, always talking about how the liberal ideology is creeping into our school system. but they don't have a problem if it is a christian agenda or this kind, as dean was pointing out, selective parts of christianity that are being taught. >> exactly, and let me build

off of dean. finally, the guy from texas with a funny cowboy hat gets to say something about my great state of texas. my career started working for ann richards way back when i was skinny and had hair. let me tell you, i'm one of these christians from texas. i went to the schools. i was in sunday school every sunday. born again, all the things. baptized. in the bible that i was taught when i was a little boy in east texas, deep east texas. i mean deep east texas. not a lot of mexicans when i was growing up. we taught people about love. and we taught people about the separation of church and state. we taught people about how you welcomed the most vulnerable amongst us. we talked about jesus. we talked about jesus being a poor carpenter. all the things that the gop would teach us we are supposed to hate. especially brown skinned immigrants, like my family was and many other immigrants. this week, i am sad to report, in my firm, you know i only largest latino owned firm in the country, both of my business partners are immigrants. one of the statuses expires in march. you know how scary that is for me and for them? now we have to figure out if she has to self-support, or what we do with a little girl

who is been here since she was four years old and live in this country for 21 years. we sent her through school, now she is an equity partner in a firm and she may have to deport. it is just disgusting. >> disgusting and disgraceful, and compounded by the fact that as we said, the texas commission are now offering trump land, 1400 acres, to basically build a mass deportation facility on the border. and it just kind of makes you wonder what the priority of the state is. and certainly this commissioner, who, is, i suspect, angling for some kind of political future in maga world. >> you know, i think it was reported that when the election came through that the following day on trading that those who owned in the prison industrial complex, those stocks rose. when we look at and listen to this woman saying here, the largest facility, ask yourself who is making money off this. there are tons of people in trump world that are going to make hundreds of millions of dollars of cruelty and pain.

that is what this is about. this is not about quote unquote violent criminals. this is a moneymaking grab and steal on the backs of the most vulnerable people. >> all right, let's go around with your picks. what is your west of the week? the commissioner and the land, or the bibles in the schools? >> i'm going with the blue bonnet. as a former teacher, i find this incredibly troubling, and it's going to be a trend that grows. >> chuck, i will go to you next. who is your worst of the week? >> it is the land and the detention centers. because u.s. citizens are going to end up in there. he should ever end up in there. that is going to be the story, is going to bite them in the backside. >> dean, you've got the deciding vote. >> i'm going with chuck on this one. i feel you, these camps, it does not end with migrants. it ends with political dissidents and others. history tells us to be aware of that. it is deeply concerning to do that. that is something physical. >> daniel moody, chuck rocha,

dean, you did not stay here for the whole hour. dean was worried at the top of the show, i said dean is going to be with us for the whole hour. technically you are off the hook. you still have 13 minutes left. >> i'm not leaving. staying on the set. it's going to be awkward. >> thank you very much. we greatly appreciate it. next up, president biden's head scratching decision to authorize landmines and long- range missiles in ukraine. furniture and cookware, holiday decor, and more at wayfair's lowest prices of the year! plus, score 24-hour flash deals you have to see to believe! and get free shipping on everything! save up to 80% off wayfair's black friday savings spectacular! now through december 2nd! ♪ wayfair. every style. every home. ♪

with 57 days left until his presidency is officially over, joe biden is spending his final weeks in this lame duck period expanding the u.s.'s role in the war in ukraine, and that is now raising eyebrows. take, for example, his decision to approve the use of u.s. landmines on ukrainian battlefield. last year biden initially opposed the point landmines into ukraine, saying that on exploded minds will put more

civilians at risk, and called their use unnecessary from a military perspective. and he wasn't wrong. in fact, the u.s. is still running up unexploded mines left over from wars in vietnam, cambodia, and kosovo decades later. long after wars and, experts have noted that landmines cost a heavy toll on civilians, especially children. in 2023 alone, nearly 6000 people around the world were either killed or injured by leftover minds, according to the landmine monitor. which means that years from now , long after the russia ukraine war is over, the countries will still be paying the price for the landmines being placed now. and it is likely that the u.s. will, at some point, have to be in bold in that the mining lien up effort. yes, biden policy reversal may give ukraine a slight military edge today, but the aftermath will be a deadly one for years to come. and, believe it or not, that is not even the only surprise

biden delivered. he is now allowing ukraine to use u.s. long-range missiles to hit targets deep inside of russian territory. a move that was perceived by russia as escort tory. as soon as the u.s. approved the use of those long-range missiles, guess what ukraine did with them? it struck deep into russian territory for the very first time since this war started. ironically, these are things ukraine's president, volodymyr zelenskyy, wanted from joe biden for years. as russia continues to push into ukrainian territory, striking civilians and residential buildings, schools, hospitals, and so on. before this week, biden's reasoning for not making these concessions with these moves was that he did not want this war to escalate. a principled and found position. so, how is vladimir putin exactly responding to all of this? as one would expect, literally hours after biden's shift on the long-range missiles, putin updated russia's nuclear doctrine to allow strikes against nonnuclear countries

like ukraine if they are backed by nuclear powers like the u.s. after that, putin claimed that russia fired a new kind of missile but is in cape being intercepted. and now he is ordering the mass production of these missiles. instead of de-escalation, as biden had previously thought, a growing list of russian and ukrainian officials are now saying world war iii is already here. and as peace in the nation, argues that mindless escalation on biden's part comes in a strange time. the war in ukraine is going badly for ukraine, and there is more pushback against conscription now rather than before. according to polls, after two years of fighting, ukrainians are increasingly weary of this war with russia. he also added that negotiations would be welcomed by the public now, but the best time for ukraine to do that was back in the spring of 2022. the russian army was suffering from heavy losses, in ukraine

has secured the best deal possible back then. so, why did president biden reverses policies now, with just weeks left in his presidency, instead of years ago? what is the strategy here, as trump repairs to inherit this war? and does all of this help ukraine and long-term? these are the questions that many who have been following this war are now asking joe biden as he leaves office. thank you for making time for us tonight. come back tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. eastern on msnbc, i will be talking to jody ginsburg, ceo of the committee to protect journalists, as donald trump strong arms republicans into killing a bill that would have defended the freedom of the press. and starting saturday, december 7th, you can listen to every episode of ayman as a podcast for free. scan the qr code on your screen to follow now and listen to the trailer before our premier.
