4:00 pm
was he the best freestyle rapper you have ever seen. al sharpton seem to think so. let me know what you think on socials. tell me is he the best freestyle rapper you have ever seen and he was making them all up on the spot as we witnessed and let us know. we are up next. tonight on the readout. tonight i say this to my republican colleagues the defending the indefensible. there will come a day when donald trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.
4:01 pm
>> liz cheney dared to speak the truth about donald trump and republicans are preparing a criminal investigation of her which trump seems to support as he begins the retribution tour and also tonight trump loves to praise dictators and mock america's allies and his latest target is one of the biggest trade partners canada which she says dismissively should be america's 51st state and the future of the democratic party as nancy pelosi reportedly works to thwart the younger generation of democrats to rise in the party. congresswoman cori bush repairs to exit congress but not the fight for our democracy. we begin tonight with a tale of two killings. on monday trump one after people who were lauding luigi mangione, the suspect in the deadly shooting of brian thompson. >> it was cold-blooded and a
4:02 pm
horrible killing and how people can like this guy is a sickness and it seems there is a certain appetite for him and i don't get it. >> murder is always wrong and. but the reality is there are some people in trump's own base hailing luigi mangione and notably his admonitions come days after he hosted daniel penny at the private box at the army navy game and posed for smiling pictures with them as did the crew vivek ramaswamy and jd vance. he held a homeless black man on a new york city subway train in a chokehold that prosecutors say lasted six minutes and acquitted last week of criminally negligent homicide and after the jury deadlocked on second-degree murder and that charge was dropped and the
4:03 pm
killing of a poor black man suffering from schizophrenia and yelling he was hungry, thirsty and set up gets you a hero's welcome from the once and future president of the united states with members of the republican party calling for him to receive the congressional gold medal and whose prior recipients include the first recipient george washington from the continental congress and the rosie the riveter's from world war ii, tennis legend billie jean king and the 14-year-old lynching victim emmett till posthumously. of course this is a feature of this strange strange cynical logic of maga world where some killings are acceptable and others aren't. you are seeing it on podcasts and conservative media talkers and many of whom are funded by billionaires by the way. their messages revere the rich and celebrate the man who chokes out the poor. the ultrarich exploit media
4:04 pm
ownership to their fullest advantage and nobody personifies that formula more than rupert murdoch as well as rush limbaugh and now the conservative podcasters were bankrolled into disseminating a message that the privileged should be lauded and protected from harm at all costs while the poor along with immigrants and black or braun -- brown or trans people should be viewed with suspicion and their lives valued less. heroes and villains and the rich and poor and you see these themes all the time and iconic series like batman and an equal societies of gotham as well as dc comics other popular series like superman and maga loves comparing trump to the man of steel a literal alien by the way and adopted to humble beginnings on a kansas farm before becoming a journalist any character whose motto is truth, justice and the american way. but none of those could be assigned to the man who would be president on january 20 if
4:05 pm
you ask me or frankly most of his biographers. in fact among the most cringe worthy images from trump's collection is the one portraying him as superman himself one of maga's most popular needs and posted an animated version on truth social with the message america needs a superhero. and one of trump's greatest deceptions as he trick people into thinking he is superman and he isn't. how do you solve the economy. we are working on it strongly and i have great plans. and he keeps it simplistic and unadulterated by boring policies and specifics in his voters love it and so much easier to trust the chosen hero and fix things and not worry about how or whether anything he says makes actual sense. trump can't however change the fact that many americans are
4:06 pm
truly set up with the surging inequality between the billionaire class and giant corporations versus everyday people, and people feel cheated and i am not just talking about progressives and in the greatest plot twist ever, just enough americans chose the tv billionaire who surrounds himself with real billionaires and corporate ceos and the execs and people taking advantage and making themselves richer. but not for the working or middle class and not for the poor. and superman saved women and children and people in need and not billionaires and didn't use his superpowers to give fatcats more tax cuts which is trump -- what trump uses his superpowers for. we will have a governor of buy in for the billionaires. it is so bad and the speaker of the house mike johnson is now running policy by two unelected trump backers a billionaire and
4:07 pm
almost billionaire. this morning he went on fox to tap dance for the murdoch's and announce he spoke with mosque and vivek ramaswamy after elon musk went against the bill that johnson is backing. >> i was communicating with elon musk . he and i and vivek ramaswamy are on a text chain and vivek ramaswamy and i talked to almost midnight and he said look, i get it. we understand , you are in a possible -- impossible position and everybody knows that. we have a razor thin margin of republican so any bill has to have democratic votes and they understand the situation isn't directed to you, mr. speaker. and he said guess what, fellas, i don't either. >> at least he called him mr. speaker to pretend they respect him. it is ironic that the man who scammed america was elected by rural working-class people, people groomed for so long like richmond with the billionaires who fund that podcast to love the rich and hate the poor and
4:08 pm
while trump dines with the guys from big pharma and admits he can't do anything to lower grocery and gas prices after all. sorry maybe instead of superman trump should put out nfts of lex luther, a bald billionaire egomaniac consumed with an obsession over the labeled -- those he labels heroes by the masses and one story why he lied and cheated and schemed his way into being elected president of the united states. and joining me now is the director of economic and racial justice and jason johnson the professor of journalism and politics at morgan state university and host of the podcast. and since you are at a disadvantage in wearing the same color as me, i will go to you first, jason and asked if i got the blurred analogies
4:09 pm
correct in the open. very important to me. >> yes. it was excellent. in fact, i was hoping you would say also blurred expert. i will be honest that i have read enough comics to know that lex luther has much better abs than our incoming president. >> and he is a scientist. >> that does come into play. here is the thing. i thought this was strange throughout the campaign in 2024 and we see the consequences of this in the next few years is that roughly half the country most were 49, 49, 48 and of the key question does this candidate care about people like me? have americans seem to think that donald trump cares about people like them and almost the same number of people that feel the same way about kamala harris. i don't understand it in my guess is because trump is so critical and complaining about america people think that is empathy with their frustrations and when he says i can't stand the bureaucrats and regular people think he must think the
4:10 pm
frustration i feel with healthcare and local government agency. that is how it works but it won't manifest that way and you can tell by his incoming cabinet. >> and by his pronouncements. i think he finally did the big reveal. when he came out and joined fox host and joined their excoriation of the people lauding luigi mangione . and by the way, luigi mangione, if he did it , there is a trial coming up and it is wrong to kill people. but the anger you see at u.s. healthcare is coming from somewhere real. and it is wild. the top one percent of this country control so much more of the wealth and they control them is nothing and donald trump as their friend. >> we don't talk about it
4:11 pm
enough and we should be bracing ourselves in this country for an explosion of inequality under the forthcoming trump administration and if you look at the truth here, the reality is this will be a government for the billionaires run by the billionaires. we need to recognize that this will be on the backs of the working class and the backs of ordinary people across the country. we can also talk about how we got here. this has created this wealth inequality crisis but the top 0.001% in this country today control more wealth than they did during the gilded age. and this was the rockefellers and the carnegie's. it is important and i do say this carefully to start talking about an oligarchy. you think that is a word reserved for people in rogue
4:12 pm
states but if you look at the monopolists in this country in the way they cornered markets from tech to food to pharma to the media, we see it. and to say billionaires is almost not enough and we are talking about a new age of oligarchy and we should be very clear as well that there is a blueprint for a new oligarchy and this new trump administration. >> tell us what that looks like. >> there are many ways to look at this but we will see three things. number one is to see a massive upward redistribution of wealth from ordinary people to the very very ultrarich and megacorporations and chilly fully -- chiefly that will be done three major tax giveaway to those billionaires. you saw those charts. what we saw in 2017 wasn't as much a tax cut but a tax scam. >> to be clear we are still living under that 2017 tax bill. he only did one big thing while president along with being
4:13 pm
cruel to muslims and taking kids away from parents as he passed this huge tax cut we still live under and redistributed wealth and exaggerated it. >> the 0.1% got 277 times more and think about that and they said it would raise income and it didn't do that. they said would increase economic growth and it didn't do that. but what it did do is increase the deficit and by $2 trillion and even on its own terms. it failed. it actually patted the pockets of the billionaire class and megacorporations. >> the new cut will make it much worse and it will go deeper bringing that corporate tax down to 15% and we should be clear that these megacorporations in this country, billionaires paying next to nothing in taxes. that has a number of implications and we can talk through all of those different ways but what you said earlier, it increases the wealth at the
4:14 pm
top and the huge power they have as well. folks like elon musk that you see today, that power is a result in part of these massive tax giveaways that we have seen. >> what we see is -- we talk about the fact that most of the people who run for congress are millionaires whether democrat or republican and the rich have gone from bankrolling politicians to becoming them. that accelerated in this last election and defeated by multimillionaires and the guy who defeated in montana, that guy is also a multimillionaire. but on top of that, they are making policy and elon musk and vivek ramaswamy are not dictated -- elected anything but dictating to the speaker of the house and they write their own policy and have contracts in which they have a position to dictate giving more federal money to themselves and not just him but others.
4:15 pm
let's fix his audio and let's get back on that same point. >> this is completely correct. what happens after they ripped money out of government? stepped 2's cuts to government and public programs that people rely upon and they will privatize as well public services and rip apart the u.s. postal service and we don't talk about the amazing work and including delivering life- saving things. it is the agenda, firstly tax cuts for those at the very top and secondly shredding public programs but thirdly, and we have to pay attention to this is taking away the rules and referees that protect ordinary people from brute corporate and monopoly power and we have seen agencies like the federal trade commission and the department of justice and the consumer financial protection bureau over the last few years do a
4:16 pm
magnificent job in standing up for workers and taking on extreme corporate power and they want to roll it back and go further. >> on top of that if you do terrace it's essentially a tax on the consumer because it is the person who goes out in purchases the t-shirts that have a 25% uptick and they are essentially -- there is talk about national sales tax which is directly making working- class people who don't have disposable income. >> you are right to raise this because there are the right ways to use tariffs and reckless ways. that is what we see forthcoming and this trump administration and the impact of that will land on the same working classes who are already feeling so much pain. >> the jason ever get back from krypton? we will owe jason another segment to have them come back and i want to thank him very
4:17 pm

4:21 pm
president-elect trump will inherit a chaotic situation in the middle east. from msnbc world headquarters. . for a man who is trying to claim he is not interested in retribution, donald trump sure has an odd way of showing it. just this week he settled a defamation suit against abc
4:22 pm
news for $15 million based on george stephanopoulos using imprecise language to describe what a jury found that donald trump actually did to aging carol namely sexual abuse and defamation and he sued the des moines registered and a legendary pollster after a pole that didn't goes way calling it interference even though he got the election. and that 3:11 a.m. this morning he gave into his apparently insatiable urge to go after liz cheney. who led the charge to hold him accountable for his own actions. she served as the vice chair of the january six committee saying she could be in a lot of trouble and should be investigated by the fbi and that post came a day after the republican house subcommittee investigating not the attack on our capitol but rather the january six committee itself , a clear attempt to rewrite
4:23 pm
history and make the villains the victims and vice versa, released a report recommending a criminal investigation claiming she may have tampered with a witness. the former trump white house aide cassidy hutchinson easily the star witness during the committee hearings. liz cheney responded saying it fabricates allies and allegations in an attempt to cover up what trump did. joining me now is the congressman of california. i never thought i would see this day. your thoughts? >> this is what he does. he is more emboldened now than ever. >> this report was disgusting and not just about what he said about liz cheney that he would buy into this but when after the police officer who very reluctantly had to defend the chamber and killed ashli babbit and this individual, his life has completely changed.
4:24 pm
>> he was also protecting him. >> yes. i was in the chamber as we went on the evacuation paths and that shot was fired and how they crashed through the speakers gallery. the people who are most vulnerable where those that were most frail in congress, the least able to move quickly out and they were there in this panic hoping people could help them either with a wheelchair or help them walk down a steep set of stairs we had to go down but this lieutenant has not lived in his house and the wife lost her business and he is head of thousands of death threats sent his way and economically destroyed and all he did was his job. for this report and go after him in such a reckless and personal way just makes me sick. >> i feel like what is happened
4:25 pm
on the republican side is they decided to flip history over and make the villains the victims in the victims the villain. let me say a few things. the guy who actually issued this report saying there should be criminal charges against liz cheney here is what he was up to the day before giving a tour to some people and i believe a few of those people wound up as part of the insurrection and i am sure he is mad about that because the committee brought that up so he wants revenge against his former colleague liz cheney because she cochaired that committee but the reality is this was a legitimate thing to investigate and an attack on the body he works in. i feel like the officers who defended all of you all that day has suffered tremendously and has a been victimized and villain eyes to buy their own profession and ostracized by other officers in giving death threats and they are trying to make the people who crashed through the capitol heroes and
4:26 pm
trump is going to pardon them. >> it is heartbreaking to watch with these officers have gone through and i was an intern on the capitol on september 11 and we all lionized for good reason the firefighters and first responders of september 11 and i thought the officers at the capitol , one lost and i am one lost a finger and five would die by suicide and 150 were injured and i thought they would be respected and given the same valor and to see in their own profession that so many of them had been betrayed was disgusting but this is an effort to erase what happened that day and rewrite it in a way to make the insurrectionists heroes and they aren't. >> he needs it. he has this need to make january six look at her but let's go back to liz cheney. they are claiming that she interfered. let me play one of her most
4:27 pm
memorable moments from the hearing from june. >> after our last hearing, president trump tried to call a witness in our investigation, a witness you have not yet seen in these hearings. that person declined to answer or respond to president trump's call. instead alerted the lawyer to the call. their lawyer alerted us. this committee has supplied that information to the department of justice. let me say one more time that we will take any effort to influence witness testimony very seriously. >> cassidy hutchinson was using an attorney or at least consulting with an attorney associated with donald trump and felt uncomfortable with it because this lawyer associated with the president urged her to downplay her role to the january sixth investigation and say she didn't recall events and felt very concerned that
4:28 pm
she wasn't proactive with the committee and maybe committing a crime and she really wanted to be honest. they believed that that is criminal and it is liz cheney who committed a crime for ever talking to her or ever having conversations with her when all that liz cheney did was urge her to tell the truth and they think that is a crime. >> cassidy hutchinson had the courage to do the right thing and they want to punish her for that. what is interesting to me is loudermilk and others are trying to give trump a defense he isn't asking for. today he still believes he won the election and had the biggest crowd and he isn't saying she was wrong for saying he didn't when the election but he is saying it's wrong that any of it was investigated. >> so we have that on what the house is doing attempting to criminalize their former colleague a former republican colleague and i will remind those of you paying attention like everybody who testified in
4:29 pm
the january committee hearings were republicans. it was trump's own people he hired. the other thing that is happening in your body, why are they taking orders from elon musk? who is the speaker, elon musk or speaker johnson? >> elon musk. he invested 200+ million in the last election and now he thinks he owns these guys and he can tell them how to vote and when devote and what i told my republican colleagues and i said something today that if you go along with this and let elon musk shut down the government by tweet, he will own you the entire congress in the next two years you will sit around and wait for him to send a tweet to see if you are allowed to vote on the bill and that's not a way to live. they want you to keep the government open and right around christmas? are you kidding me? you won't pay people their social security checks or tsa
4:30 pm
agents who work hard and work there busiest and you will let them not get paid? that is cruel and no way to let these billionaire pros run the government and not helping the people who thought they were going to be helped by donald trump. >> it was very clear that if you shut the government down it's on you and i will look into the camera and say this to you all of that government shutdown and you don't get your social security checks, that is the republicans being ordered by your friend elon musk. elon musk, donald trump and republicans are the ones who are the reason why you didn't get your check and not joe biden. just saying. thank you so much, congressman eric swalwell. >> donald trump again openly taunts canada again calling it the 51st state. part of the playbook to humiliate allies and for what purpose? it's anyone's guess. we will be right back.

it is time to play what we here at the readout like to call truth or troll and as the once and future president continues to play games with america's foreign-policy leaving us here in the media to discern what it is he really means, the latest features trump's new target canadian prime minister justin trudeau who had tried to buddy up to trump by making the now customary pilgrimage to [
4:36 pm
speaking in a global language ] meal before the golden toilets only to wake up to trump calling him the governor of the great state of canada. earlier today again he wrote that many canadians want canada to become the 51st state and he thinks it is a great idea. his statements as the incoming president have resonance and it is in part why his threat helped facilitate a leadership crisis in canada which is the third major economy to plunge into political turmoil weeks before the transition so what does trump mean when he says he wants canada as the 51st state? is it truth or troll and what's the impact regardless? joining me now is katie simpson eighth correspondent with canada. it's great to meet you. on the canadian side what do folks think he means?
4:37 pm
>> is widely seen as an insult but canada is used to this rhetoric from donald trump and what we see from the political side in ottawa is the urge not to overreact and right now the relationship is in a very difficult position and an explosive position because there is this threat of the tariff. if he makes good on it it will significantly harm the canadian economy and cost thousands of jobs. trade is one of the most important aspects of the canadian economy and if that comes to fruition or if it happens it would be devastating for the canadian economy. the strategy coming from government right now in a lot of turmoil is trying to remain united and present a united trump front and ignore any of these tactics and focus on the prize, which for canada in this moment is avoiding those tariffs. >> is it seen as an extortion attempt to get something from canada in exchange for not doing them? >> we understand that after the
4:38 pm
canadian delegation left the dinner at mar-a-lago, donald trump wants to rack up some wins he can point to before he comes in the office so canada is trying to hit that goal and there was a little bit of a development on that today and trump's team put out a press release saying canada just announced it will spend $1.3 billion to improve border security and pointing to that is a win but some of the complaints by donald trump about the border is not based on the fact or completely hyperbolic so many talks about fentanyl flowing and it's not the case and i think it was like 50 pounds has crossed and compare that to 21,000 pounds coming in from the southern border. the thing is canada has some challenges when it comes to money laundry -- laundering and organized crime and it's something the canadian government is looking at and trying to find a way they can
4:39 pm
cooperate. >> the bottom line is if you tank the economy what you get is more migration of people coming into the united states and that is what happens when economies fall? >> the concern is -- i don't think canada knows because it would be a crisis that the only thing that is comparable is when donald trump was elected that caused a crisis and all the smartest people in ottawa or trying to prevent that from happening and canada is doing that again. >> he updated it and didn't get rid of it. let's talk about the threat the other way because there was one leader in canada who threatened to to shut off the power and americans don't understand we get a lot of our power in places like michigan and what about that? >> that is from the premier and has been a leading voice for all the premieres in canada and talking about how canada should retaliate should trump make good on these threats and have a lot of things at stake
4:40 pm
because they employ thousands of people and it's a huge economic generator and it would be particularly devastating in this largest province in canada. doug ford and maybe canadians are watching this. doug ford has this history and a an interesting path to his role in government right now but is seen as a leading strong voice on this, which anybody who followed his career he was a city counselor in toronto and famously a brother to the crack smoking mayor and his past, now a two-term premier in the province of ontario and he came out to be a leading voice to say we need to hit back and perhaps the threat is being walked back a bit and some of the premieres don't agree with that strategy. and the concern is it -- it would be such a devastating thing if the tariffs hit. >> does justin trudeau survive
4:41 pm
this ? and if not who would be likely to replace them? >> the political turmoil is unlike anything trudeau has had to deal with. his finance minister his deputy prime minister quit largely over a dispute on how to face those tariffs from donald trump which is how significant these threats are and there is political turmoil of whether she would be shuffled out of one of the positions and be told to announce that canada will miss its deficit targets and lose her job but there is a lot of back story to that and a lot of canadians know that. >> she was a hardball regular back in the day. >> a lot of digging going around that what led for this moment but a devastating blow and we haven't heard directly from the prime minister in terms what the future path forward is and let's put this in perspective. imagine joe biden and kamala harris and kamala harris quits and lists a scathing letter about all the reasons accusing him of political gimmicks in

being in congress is a privilege. don't waste it and don't settle. don't say, well, we tried. don't abuse the power we have been afforded to make a difference in people's lives, the people are depending on you to show up for them and their need. you have the power to change the world, so don't sit on that power. use it to do good deeds and save and transform lives. we are the united states of america. we are the wealthiest and most powerful country in the world so we can't act like the court jester. so do better. >> that was congresswoman cori bush of missouri delivering her final speech on the house floor urging her colleagues in the lower chamber to do better. the democratic caucus is losing a young progressive women of color from a working-class background at a time when that is a time when they need that

boys. as they grapple on how to move forward after this your selection. we are joined now with her. >> thank you for having me. >> your message was powerful today. say more. what you think this party -- where do you think it had an error and where can it do better? >> one major area is continuing to allow corporate money and democratic primaries and allow billionaires to dictate who the elected representative will be. that is a big problem. the big money in politics is a problem already but to sit back knowing that billionaires are going to decide and not the people? >> i noticed a pack -- a pac, spent $8.6 million to defeat you making you the most expensive -- second most expensive house primary of the year and number one was bowman and the same organization spent $14 million to take his seat.

they got the result they wanted in both of those races at a time when there are still 45,000 people who have died in gaza and you said there could be a cease-fire coming soon but what do you think is the future of being able to stand up for the dignity of people in palestine when that targeting is successful? >> that is one of the problems. we don't want people to feel that we can't speak up and be true to my values and we are talking about saving lives. we are not talking about how much it will cost to get from point a to point b but we are talking about saving humans. it shouldn't be controversial but it is. actually, let me add that the race for bowman, ended up being the most expensive race in us history and mine ended up being the second most expensive race in us history. that was $15 million spent when you add all of the different groups together.

4:51 pm
make things very expensive for working people and a threat for abortion rights and you have texas and the attorney general suing them to stop and the ability for women to get access to the abortion pill and you are one of the people trying to get the equal rights amendment finally ratified and what is that status? >> i need people to understand that medication abortion when talking about texas, medication abortion is the most common form of abortion in the country. with us pushing for the e.r.a., i had a letter with representative presley two 120 of our colleagues urging the president to certify and publish the e.r.a. because the time is now and 101 years we have been pushing this and he has a few more weeks left in the presidency and we need him to get this done because we know the harm that could come with this donald trump presidency and this administration but what people don't think about is the e.r.a. is more than abortion rights
4:52 pm
and reproductive things. so closing the gender wage gap and making sure we fight sexual harassment in the workplace and violence against women and all of those things. discrimination in healthcare and education. we need that no -- now. joe biden is in a position to do that. >> the one who would certify and publish in the president would sign it and the archivist said she didn't plan to move forward but the archivist is allowed, basically a librarian, doesn't get to decide what goes in the constitution or not. >> let's what i call the gerontocracy, younger voices like yourself or a on a presley and alexandria ocasio-cortez was losing her bid for top seat and said that speaker pelosi
