cori bush cori bush cori bush cori bus trump, i want biggest fraud currently under way in the united states. i'm not talking about the nonsense fraud cases your legal team keeps getting laughed out of the courtroom for bringing mr. president, no. the biggest fraud in america continues to be you. it started far before you announced your candidacy for president when your business was in the dumpster and you got a lifeline from nbc itself, the "apprentice" and portrayed you as everything you weren't, savvy, smart, rich, and successful. that show sold the image to the american people as a titan of industry and you traded on that entertaining falsehood to launch your political career. with the helping hand from yet another falsehood, this one claimed that president barack obama was not born in this country, a lie that is all at once easily debunked, racist, fraudulent just like you. when your own frauds aren't effective enough, you accuse everyone around you of cheating, like during the 2016 primaries when ted cruz beat you in the iowa caucus and you threw a tantrum, slinging baseless cla

won reelection and they are joined by the first black woman to represent missouri in the congress, cori bushlking to them because she sees them as role models. these people have energized, brought energy to a lot of proposals. we were talking just now about president-elect biden possibly going back to the paris climate deal. most americans think we need more action. it's not like a far left proposal. that's what most americans think. we need to do more in terms of climate change and keeping our environment clean for our children. that's just not a radical far left thought. keep that in mind. we don't know exactly why people voted as they did but somehow point a finger at aoc, i think that's the wrong -- >> katie: we have a lot of information directly from democrats in tight races about why they either lost or barely won. >> greg: aoc is like you're really skinny friend. oh, i can just eat what i want and i never gain weight. why are you having fruit salad? i'm going to have a cheesesteak. because your constituents in your district, you don't have any pressure. you don't have to worry about a

but they're feel strength in numbers after a handful of facts like cory bush, jamal bowman, n incomingre tied. they know who joe biden is. they know the well he's pulling from looks different than the names they're putting forward. they want to put these names out into the ether. they hope and know there are lower sub agencies and lower positions these folks could end up in, and they want to make sure biden and harris know they're serious not just about personnel but the policies they're pushing. >> of course. so tricky because they lost so many seats in the house, their majority will be narrow. the lesson other people learned is they need to shy away from some of these things that republicans are saying fatherly or not. they tagged some democrats in swing districts with what they're saying in places where it's safe for them to say in new york all the things they want to say, less so in illinois. let's talk about president trump's plans to pardon michael flynn. the last thing we knew about this, his attorney asked the president not to ask the president to do this. we don't know if that

representative-elect cori bush, a missouri democrat, said several republican colleagues mistakenly called breonna taylor because of the mask she was wearing. she was wearing a face mask which had the name breonna taylor. she said it's so sad that some members of congress are so unfamiliar with the case that's become national news. what's your reaction to that? >> it's more than sad. it's a damn shame. but it shows you how disconnected they are to the reality of this country and also to the plight of the suffering of black americans. what they see is a black person and not an american person. this is american suffering happening on their watch, and they're so inconsiderate, they don't take time to google the individuals that we're mourning over. >> ashley, quickly, before i let both of you go. you mentioned that republican leaders need to reverse course and reject trumpism, but when we hear about a 2024 or potentially don junior taking those reins, do you think that that's a path right now that republicans are willing to take? >> well, i think what they're willing to do versus what they sh

last night we were joined by congresswoman cori bush. she will represent st. louis in the house.first day on capitol hill, some republicans mistook her for breonna taylor because she was wearing a face mask with breonna taylor's name on it. so how does she plan to reach across the aisle zbh. >> i don't care about their comfortableability. i care that they understand what's happening in st. louis. st. louis has to be the center. they're going to hear what happened in ferguson. they're going to hear about what our poverty looks like. and they're going to hear about the environmental injustices that are happening and what police brutality really is. they're going to hear about what pofr and what's happening to our trans community, and i'm going to be very real about it but i'm coming from a place of knowing because i've been through so much of that. they're going to get this lived it experience up in their face. the other thing is i'm going to listen to them as well, and we're going to work together. >> in that same way, i new "boston globe" series sets out to demonstrate how the ex

i'm thinking cori bush in missouri. rashida carry in music -- she power through.on the republican side you see nikole, a greek american in staten island, who also sort of won her race against a pretty strong incumbent. have we reached the point where you can tell parties, both parties, you ignore these powerful political, these political powerhouses that you roam with. have we finally passed that threshold? >> here's the thing, yes. it's not a good idea to ignore us. when we look at the new american majority in particular, black, brown, indigenous people, especially women, young women, unmarried women, lgbtq individuals, they were the most exciting candidates in the cycle, and they were the organizers and activists that helped those amazing candidates get elected. when we look at the democratic party, women are the base of the democratic party. black women in particular are the base of the base of the democratic party. it's no longer i suggest driving a kate these are good to be the candidates that we are going to vote for. you are seeing these women put their nam

meanwhile, congressman-elect core cori bush from miami wore a mask with breonna taylor's name and saidistakenly called breonna by her colleagues. >> and it saddens me that people in leadership, people that want to be in leadership don't know the struggles that are happening to black people in this country, and it's just disheartening, and it was hurtful, absolutely hurtful. and i didn't hear it once. i didn't hear it twice. i heard it several times i'm being called, you know, breonna taylor today. you know, but it's okay, because we will educate and we will make sure that people know who she is, what she stood for, that she was an award-winning emt, you know, in her community, that she's someone who deserves justice right now. >> guys, two different americas. stay with us. stay with us. more "a.m. joy" after the break. s stay with us more "a.m. joy" after the break. >>> thank you, god, for returning her to me. >> you're with mommy now. everything is okay. >> imagine being separated from your child. that was the emotional reunion between a mother and daughter who had been separated days

along with cory shockey, who served under george w. bush, including on his national security council and state department. let's talk about what this means in terms of where we are going in this country. robert, with these picks, who you've worked with in the past, worked with in the obama administration, is this going to be what some are going -- or have gone so far as to say is the obama third term? >> no. i don't believe so. because i think if you look at the issues this administration faces, one, there are a lot more of them, even given what we inherited in 2008 and into 2009, but if you look at issues like immigration or climate change, there are new solutions that have to be dived into here in order to make progress. secretary kerry spoke pretty eloquently about this around climate change. and i think the idea that you can do what worked or what was planned in 2008, 2009 or 2010 just really doesn't work anymore. i was struck by the fact that they underscored the idea of truth-telling, they underscored the idea of believing in science,
