well if she did this, what could we do? what must we do? which is a question a lot of us are asking ourselves these days. >> it is called "facing the falls" and free right now on youtube, anybody can go watch it right now. cara yar khan , and executive producer, chelsea clinton, great to see you both. >> thank you. >> good morning, it is sunday, december 29th, i'm alicia menendez, as we prepare for a new year, with a look at donald
5:01 am
trump's day one priorities, the internal debate over immigration. plus, david hogg is going to join us to talk about his plans to usher in a new generation of leadership. the democrat for re-election for the supreme court by less than 1000 votes, the effort by republicans to take it away, it is a busy day, grab your coffee, welcome to the weekend. >> inauguration day is right around the corner, i'm literally looking at the capital and the american people are about to find out how donald trump plans to implement his agenda, part of his day one
5:02 am
wish list includes ending the war in ukraine in just 24 hours, he has vowed to ban trans-people from military service while pardoning those who stormed the capital on january 6, he also plans to jumpstart his mass deportation process. what's the constitution of somebody that says he thinks he's the king, this is an aggressive agenda and when everybody in your party is pulling in the same direction, it is still an aggressive agenda, the reality is not the case for republicans this week. donald trump weighed in on the maga civil war last night, siding with elon musk, he said h-1b is a great program, he has always liked the visas. >> it is great to have you here, let me start with h-1b .
5:03 am
>> it talks about mar-a-lago, trump added that he has many h- 1b visas upon my properties, i have been a believer in h-1b, i have used it many times, it is a great program , it wasn't immediately clear what properties trump was referring to that rely on the program. his golf course and clubs including mar-a-lago have long relied on foreign workers coming to the united states
5:04 am
under the h-2b program to work as housekeepers and cooks, they are not doing tech for him. this is a team that wants to deport people, that wants to put them in concentration camps because they shouldn't be here in their view, when the president elect himself fundamentally doesn't understand the differences between the programs that affect people in a way that will determine whether or not they stay here. >> you are right that he doesn't know what h-1b visas are, he doesn't know the difference, and this is another slap at his base, this is, again, i say this until i'm blue in the face, donald trump can't stand his base, he lies to them every day, his base is
5:05 am
concerned about people from around the world coming here and stealing jobs and it's all a bunch of hooey but, his basis is concerned about that. the only thing trump cares about is trump and he doesn't want the economy to tank so when it comes to h-1b visas and his threat of mass deportation, his business people are going to tell him what to do. >> it is stunning to me, looking at that list you were reading about the things he has vowed to do, you called it aggressive, i agree, also things like that going to end russia's war in ukraine in just 24 hours, where of course the devil is in the details, who is it exactly at that negotiating table, and what is it that they are getting. but, this is not what folks voted for, they didn't vote to ban trans-folks from the military, it seems like they
5:06 am
voted in large part based on economic concerns and just to tie this together, you start deporting immigrants and deporting workers from things like the ag sector, the construction sector, in addition to those families and as communities that are going to suffer, who is going to suffer, the american consumer. >> that is most definitely right, but i want to say this first, when you say they didn't vote for this, it was project 2025, so in essence, they did vote for this as the economy was number one but as we start talking about immigration and the deportation, mass deportation process that is expected to happen, they have this visa conversation, visas are a kind of immigration, they are a part of a broken immigration system and look at this, those at the southern border make up everyone from around the world, to include black and brown people but, the visas a lot of the times, they
5:07 am
fly in from ukraine and they are driving ubers and a lot of those people are working in his establishment, his golf course, his mar-a-lago estate, this is a part of the immigration problem and people are not talking about it. it is brown versus white and this is part of it, and what people don't understand, and i keep saying this, elon musk came in on a visa in the 1990s, and overstayed his visa. in 2023, the biden administration homeland security department came up with reports saying there are three times more over stays of visas then there have been in the past. that is a problem, when it is black and brown at the border, that is the problem, but i'm
5:08 am
going to welcome these visas coming from ukraine and all these other countries, for the people who look like him. there is the devil in the details, we are not talking about how this part is broken as well. >> i just want to underline what april just sad because often times when we are talking about immigration or any other issue, people say why do you have to bring race into it, race is always a part of the conversation, hello america, do we need to go back to the fundamentals of who built this country and what we were founded on? so, race is a part of this. and the demonization of people coming to the u.s.-mexico southern border, who are fleeing famine, terrible conditions in their home countries, just take a look at what is happening in venezuela and you juxtapose that with the good immigrants, okay, the high
5:09 am
skilled workers, and how those individuals are talked about. elon musk himself had a lot to say in our nbc news reporting about the h-1b program , he said people are super talented, engineers, and in the u.s., it is far too low. he said take a big step back, he said this in a post, i will go to war on this issue, the likes of which you cannot possible comprehend, they are telling you who they are for, explicitly, no dog whistles or bullhorns. >> completely, and you said at the top, this is an aggressive agenda, it is a cool agenda and what trump will push on the first day is a bunch of cruelty. i think he's going to pardon the january 6 offenders, he is going to throw out a bunch of the ei and transgender cruel red meat to his base but to
5:10 am
your point, trump cares about the stock market, he has to watch the impact. >> that goes back to why this conversation has turned the way it has. you've got vivek and elon sitting here talking about how lazy white men are, just to break this down because that is what they said, that is why everybody got upset, that is why, elon may want to go to war on an issue like this but he's going to war against a base that does not want vivek ramaswamy here. and vivek said, well, you two did the job that we have done, elon musk is not hiring donald trump's base at spacex, he's
5:11 am
not hiring that base to come work at google or whatever company he buys next. this is the way it is. or am i missing something because that is what i'm reading, as my friend simone called yesterday, was laid out by vivek very clearly stating , and now emphasized by elon himself, talking about take a big step back and f yourself in the face? who is this man? still an immigrant, i don't care, how did you get here? >> calling americans mediocre basically, let me say this, there is talent in this nation. it is interesting to call people mediocre, but yet you have schools that are trying to build the next generation to
5:12 am
work in this industry, in the cyber industry, i can even say, hbcu's alone are working to be put people intact. you know, years ago, to go into coding, these kids get out of school, $93,000 to start off out of college, i wish i would have had that at the beginning. but are they looking there? the space they are looking at, i don't know if it is mediocre or not, but they are talented people in this country who no computers may be better than they do. they just have to look, what is validating, just give us the opportunity and a lot of people want the opportunity and they are not looking in those sectors, so i think he's going to get a lot of blowback. i think vivek ramaswamy will
5:13 am
get a lot of blowback for calling people mediocre because he's not looking at every sector. >> there is a vote for speaker coming up in the new year and it is at the question of how mike johnston can hold onto his job and later, david hogg is running for vice chair, we will talk to him about the future of the party. we are following breaking news out of south korea, a plane crashed at an airport in the southwest part of the country, 179 people of the 181 on board are dead, two crew members survived, the traffic controllers warned the pilot about a potential bird strike, moments later the aircraft crash landed on the runway. we are going to continue to follow this developing story throughout the day on msnbc. we will be right back. right ba. what a deal! new and existing customers, trade in your busted old phone, and we'll give you a new iphone 16 pro with apple intelligence on us. i'm having trouble getting around

>> in just five days, house republicans will have to vote on the next speaker, here's what some of them are saying about mike johnson in that role. >> he's going to have to sway a lot of those concerns if he is going to become speaker again. >> mike has done an admiral job under tough conditions, but i want to have a conversation with mike, i don't know where this is going right now but with thomas massey already saying he has a hard no, that is concerning and we just got
5:18 am
to make sure that we get the best person for the job. >> meanwhile, donald trump has been noticeably silent on who should hold the gavel in the new congress, some of johnson's supporters are a little bit alarmed, one of them telling politico there's no way johnson will win the gavel without trump not only endorsing him but actively whipping for him. april ryan and joe walsh are back with us. >> i mean, the facts speak for themselves. >> i'm just putting the question on the table, and anybody can free willy this all day long. who are they going to replace mike johnson with, because they are talking about i'm going to hold my power, this doesn't look good for him, well who are you going to put up instead? let me look, is it out there --
5:19 am
>> i think that is why president trump is holding his tongue until he makes a determination, we can play as many games and go to mar-a-lago and play golf as much as you want but if he doesn't like you, you are gone. especially in this second term, mike johnson is in trouble. and we are just waiting to hear from donald trump and we are waiting to find out who could be the replacement. i wonder if it might be somebody like byron donalds who is waiting to get some kind of nod from trump and some positioning. >> that ought to be fun. >> what is interesting about this, mike johnson has been in trouble before and the last time he was in trouble, democrats saved him, they saved his speakership, democrats are being very clear, april is correct, they are saying not this time, there is a reporting, more than half a
5:20 am
dozen democrats voted to bail out johnson in may, they agree with them that johnson can no longer count on their votes. they have some real issues. but, if not mike johnston, then who? >> kevin mccarthy. can i be a jerk and just go back for one second? nobody cried for elon and vivek, the intolerant nationalistic base going after them now, elon and vivek lied to these people and revved them up, so no tears. the best thing johnson has going for him is the calendar. trump wants to do a bunch of cruel stuff in january, a speaker could messed that up, but kevin mccarthy, i could see donald trump getting behind kevin mccarthy, what a wonderful turn that would be. i'm just saying. >> how many votes were there to
5:21 am
oust kevin mccarthy? do we want to go through that again? >> do we want to go through any of this again? we already lived through this one time and i know it is perhaps the single most thing on people's minds, but there's also an electoral college count that needs to happen here, let me read you this from roll call, if a protracted speaker fight last 1 pm on january 6, there are procedural options that could help ensure the counting and certifying of electoral college votes that day, but that could prove difficult following yet another span of gop infighting over government funding and the debt ceiling that saw speaker mike johnson battling rebellious conservatives. two years ago when they did this, there was an electoral college count, they were just doing this in a nonpresidential
5:22 am
year, the stakes are little bit different now, april. >> the bottom line, i believe the electoral college count will happen fine because nobody is disputing, at least democrats are not disputing, that donald trump is the president-elect, but, the infighting in the republican party is harsh and if they can't get it together, the bottom line is politics is personal and people's pocketbooks will be impacted if they keep trying to keep kicking the can down the road without a resolution in the budget, the president-elect wants to lift the debt ceiling, that means more spending of government money when you have fiscal concerns. but at the end of the day, then you have tariffs, politics is personal and if people's pockets are impacted, they are already overspent, they've got job on top of job to make ends
5:23 am
meet, this will hurt the republican party, this will create a change in two years, when democrats can actually flip the house, republicans have got to fix this asap because they are facing some dire consequences, and they don't really recognize the american public instead of themselves. >> politics are personal, car prices, wall street journal says any new tariff related cost is likely to be passed along to the consumer and it will hit the most affordable cars the hardest. some lower-priced models such as the honda civic sedan are made in canada and car parts built in the two neighboring countries, but they are further pushing up costs for any fractures and consumers. we will add about $8000 to the average cost of every car sold

5:25 am

5:29 am
population that needs care, we need immigrants because we have a labor force that relies on our labor, i would say america is simply better with immigrants, that is not universally agreed upon position, but part of what they are reckoning with is the fact that there are skills that these immigrants bring and there are high skilled workers that calmed under --, under h- 1b , but you work in ag, that is a skill, you work in construction, that is a skill and we have to value those skills and labor in this country and we have to be honest about the fact that it's not just immigrants coming to this country, it is businesses and industries in this country saying please come because we need you here. so, if you want to go after the immigrant and you want to go after the person that comes to this country seeking refuge, seeking security, then you also need to talk about the businesses that are luring them
5:30 am
over. you can't have it one way and not the other, and to me they are finally telling on themselves. >> and also, i thought that the immigrants were stealing people's jobs, because that is what donald trump said. the immigrants were stealing their jobs, but now we are for immigrants getting jobs. i just think there's a lack of consistency and there's a lack of consistency because their positions have nothing to do with their values. >> well, i agree with both of you, but my bottom line is simply this. >> here we go. >> the reality of it is, alicia puts it right about being honest, so let's be honest, you know your 25-year-old son, daughter is not going out and picking pairs of trees and pulling strawberries out of the
5:31 am
ground, but, or cleaning somebody's bathroom or working in a hotel or to be quite honest, going through the training for these high-end tech jobs that will grant them at spacex. that is the reality. >> also, you need to be able to hold both truths, you need to be able to do both things at the same time, educate and enable an american workforce that can do those jobs, and i agree, we should be able to do that. >> and that is what april was saying, she was making that point, about the hbcu's across the country. how many times have we heard, i just can't find any people of color, any latinos to do the job, you can, where are you looking? i think there are multiple levels to this conversation. >> this is also about the fact that they can't find white
5:32 am
people to do it and that is the reality that was brought up by vivek and elon, that while y'all can't do these jobs, and as i said, they talked down to them and what i said yesterday, they are saying out loud what white folks said about people of color specifically, black people for generations, you can't do the job, you are too dumb to do the job, you don't have the skills to do the job that we need done, so now that script is flipped, that is the backlash you have seen over the last six or seven days coming back at them because they have been exposed to that very deep wound of lying to themselves about how they fit into this country, with a changing economy and they look around and they are not too happy when they see people who look like the three of us coming in doing those jobs, and now it has been
5:33 am
exposed. >> and that is why i made the point yesterday, people often talk about it, this has literally been going on since dr. king, bernie sanders talked about organizing across class as well because the reality is, going to talk about white people for a second, if we align across race, we are seeing the divisions happening right now, the white billionaire, elon musk is not saying yes i'm fighting for the little guy, i'm out here looking out for the forgotten white man, he is saying these folks are mediocre and let me get somebody else to do it which is why white folks, asian americans and otherwise are organizing across class. because the reality is, what michael said, what they said about black people all those years ago and they are still
5:34 am
saying it to be very clear, now they are saying it out loud about people who are not black, now they are coming for you, you are not exempt. >> i couldn't have said it better at church on sunday morning. still ahead, congresswoman jasmine crockett weighs in on the plan to bring back some of the more controversial aspects of the immigration policy. and follow us on social media, our handle everywhere is @theweekendmsnbc. @theweekendmsnbc eaning products. ooh, those suds got game. dawn powerwash. the better grease getter. the average dog only lives to be ten. that's ten birthdays, ten first summer swims, ten annual camping trips. at the farmer's dog, we don't think that's long enough. that's why our freshly made food
5:35 am
5:36 am
5:38 am
>> new year, new dnc, that is the goal as the leadership positions heat up ahead of the selection on february 1st, these are the folks who have thrown their hat into the ring for the dnc chair, david hall is running for vice chair, and says, frankly we need to focus on building up our young people in the party. david hogg is joining us now , he is the cofounder of march for our lives. >> good to see you. i appreciate the fact that you
5:39 am
are doing this, i appreciate the fact that you are holding people to the idea of transitional leadership, it began in 20 and i think it culminates after the selection and someone like you stepping up to the plate. what are you hearing in the democratic party from young people that gives your candidacy the energy it will need to overcome, let's be honest, some folks who are like i don't think we need a 24-year- old vice chairman of the party, and it is not about the age, it is what about that 24-year-old is bringing to the table and you have an opportunity to bring a very important constituency to that table. talk about that. >> for one, i think there is a real reckoning that is happening in the democratic party, unfortunately because of the shift to the right of 18 to 29-year-old voters that we saw in the selection and when i was in the audience at the executive committee meeting at the dnc a few weeks ago in washington, d.c. and they were
5:40 am
talking about why we lost the election, the first thing they brought up was 18 to 29-year- old voters and i looked around the room and i know i didn't see anybody else that looked like me, we can raise all the money that we want but that's not going to change the fact that if we don't have the types of voters in the room that we are trying to target, a lot of that money is going to be missed targeted and surprisingly there has been a lot of good support from older people as well across the party. where there is an understanding that there is a need for intergenerational leadership, with fresh ideas from people from my generation as well and building that coalition and diversity into our party because right now in terms of the age difference, currently less than 6% of the entire body of voting members are under the age of 36. which is insane compared to how much our party relies on them to build our power. >> you talked about voters 18
5:41 am
to 29, i want to pull up what the gender split looked like in this past election, this is from the exit polls of the 2024 presidential election, 18 to 29, 49% for trump, and women, about the same percent. >> i think we need to end the false dichotomy that says we need to focus on young man or young women, there is a mental health crisis, there is an educational crisis and a whole litany of other issues we have to address and realize that is not to say that we don't need to care about young women, we obviously do but we need to care about both because what is good for both, what is good for young men and making sure they are graduating at higher rates, that we are addressing their mental health and doing much more to address loneliness, it is good for young women and
5:42 am
vice versa and we need to make sure we aren't going into that false dichotomy because i know that we were, leading up to the election, when i talked to the younger voters, and i asked in front of the committee as one of the youngest people in that room who helped them raise several thousand dollars for the campaign, what are we doing about young men? i was told from the committee that i was ridiculous, this is not something that we need to focus on and unfortunately it was one of the largest shifts in over 20 years of elections history and if we don't acknowledge this problem, it is only going to get worse, not only for our party but for people across the country because men are going to keep growing more and more to the right. >> david, up until working in the white house in the first
5:43 am
year of the biden administration, i was a dnc member, so have you met with any of the caucus chairs and have you met the threshold to officially be on the ballot, i believe it was 40 signatures needed from dnc members, do you have those? >> yes, as of right now i have 42 signatures that i have obtained and i'm going to continue to get more just in case there's any changes, just to be as safe as possible. but, i have had many conversations with different numbers of caucuses, with the southern caucus, and what i have heard, frankly is how many field -- people feel like they are just props in the dnc, they are just a rubber-stamp, they are not there to be incorporated and listened to as voting members, that they are just sitting around in these
5:44 am
meetings and aren't really being asked for help a lot of time, other than every four years when somebody needs their vote to be elected into the dnc. and part of what is striking to me is how there's just a severe lack of investment in our state parties and how we have this boom and bust cycle where we have a multibillion-dollar presidential race coming up every four years and we build all this infrastructure from nothing practically and we are having people go from blue states into states like michigan, places like detroit where in neighborhoods that don't know anything outside of a wikipedia page, what we need to do is take this money and invest it more in our state parties to build sustainable infrastructure so it's not just a boom and bust cycle but every single year, every single election, whether it is local
5:45 am
election, special election or federal election, there are people that know the communities and are delivering and showing how democrats are delivering for their communities because what is scary for me is increasingly, our party is not working, it is not looking like the working class, it is increasingly more white, better educated and more wealthy. which is crazy, but that is the shift we are seeing even though we are delivering as much as we can with the voting we had to deal with in the filibuster for example, but it's not just enough to do the work as a party, we need to effectively communicate what we are doing and meet people where they are at. and a lot of these young people are not as early watching tv, they are looking at their phones, on tiktok, on social media and we cannot just write that off and say we are just going to put a bunch of ads of consultants making money, a certain percentage into those platforms, because that is terrible for the party.
5:46 am
i'm not here just to complain, i'm here to work and do something and put my money where my mouth is, and for somebody that has raised over $11 million for this cycle, i feel like i'm in the position as a 24-year-old with that perspective and the fundraising capability that i have to help diversify our funding and make sure we are prioritizing where the funding is going at the same time because it is not a problem that money can solve. >> david hogg has something to say, he's got plans . we will be watching this, david, thank you for coming on today, we appreciate it. and the big dog in the pond as one republican put it, how lawmakers are feeling about trump heading into the new year and into the 119th congress, you are watching the weekend. td

for a noticeably whiter smile. new personal best. crest. >> trumps new borders are, tom homan is putting together an aggressive agenda, it brings back detention centers that were phased out during the biden administration, he said parents who lose their immigration cases are going to have to make a decision what you want to do. but don't take our word for it. here is what he said this
5:51 am
thursday. >> it is on the table, that is on you. >> joining us now, jasmine crockett, a democrat from texas. >> great to have you back on the program, let's get to the bottom line, tom homan noted that he wants to launch a separate campaign, to locate more than 300,000 teens and children that he and other trumpet allies have frequently described as missing, the goal of being to bring back these detention centers to support people, what is your take on what americans need to really get themselves set for january 20th because i think a lot of that begins to get rolled out at that time. >> i honestly don't know how to prepare for this fiasco, we know that we just heard him really change what he had been
5:52 am
saying before, so again, i kept saying they don't have a plan, they are just out here and they were having these rallies and they basically were like kick them all out, but before, he said no, everybody gets deported, even the u.s. citizen. and now he's saying well i will give them the option, yeah because you can't kick somebody out who is a u.s. citizen, you can't do that. so, my point i had been making is that they don't really know what they are doing, they really have just been trying to serve up this red meat, not to mention, they are not talking about costs. we know that doge is all about cutting costs. they have not started to address how expensive something like this is going to be, as an attorney, all i can think about is all the litigation that we are about to enter, mind you they want to defund the doj and every part of it, so they have

no real plans and what i want people to do because clearly they forgot what it was like to live under trump for the four years that we have been, i want you to mark that calendar on your phone, i want you to mark everything that they say is like they said they were going to build the wall and we never saw the wall get built, i want you to mark your calendar and talk about how importanit was for these people to be sent out of this country to keep the price of your groceries down or to keep the price of your housing down and i also want you to tell me what you saw in your communities, i want people to remind themselves. >> it does seem as though people have forgotten, not just how chaotic it was, but how many promises donald trump made and how many promises he didn't keep and which ones he did keep, there is a winding road from building the wall in mexico and going to pay for it, to infrastructure that never
