have to reach down deeply in your faith when you came under attack, they did not treat you like jen psaki would ask, any of the reporters, they were absurd questions, i went back and i was watching a briefing, i am flipping through pages in my binder, i was asked a question by a quote, unquote serious reporter, is the president glad that the south lost the civil war to which you could see me stop flipping the pages and look up, bemused by this question, i said there is no such thing as a dumb question but that was dumb, i was asked a lot of questions, with shouting over mias a spoke, interesting to difference, jen psaki, someone shouted over her and the white house press got program and said, we may punish this person, i said where were you during the entire duration of my tenure when people were yelling. it took me digging up on diet with peter 3-5. >> a different question. health never be asked that question. tell us about your faith. how you practice your faith. >> instrumental to my life, i lean it to. before my first briefing, my parents got on the phone and we prayed together, last

but then you have that moment, do you remember with jen psaki when she was on msnbc and she was talkingut what this election could come down to. i think we have a clip of that. >> the election is about who is the most extreme as we saw kevin mccarthy touch on there with marjorie taylor greene. sitting over to the left side appeared then they are going to win. if it is a referendum on the president, they will lose and they know that. >> carley: a referendum on the president and the policy she was promoting for so long when she was the white house press secretary. it is interesting to hear her say that comment now considering the speech president biden made last night. >> todd: 100%. you can say what you want about jen psaki and she is a smart lady and she knows the policies of her administration were woeful. lead to 60 minutes after the hour. twitter's new owner elon musk doubling down on his proposal to charge for blue checkmarks. the self-proclaimed cheap twit shot back at congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez after she complained about the possibility of an $8 a month verification fe

. >> jen psaki served as president biden's first white house press secretary.

jen psaki in the press briefing room was bragging about how they were flagging information for facebookren't hiding this. now we have uncovered and saw how far-reaching this is, covering a bunch of different topics, this was all about power and control in the government punishing dissent which are not allowed to do. >> trace: orwellian is overused but it's a great word to describe what's happening. >> absolutely, you have this ministry of truth, it was nuts. it was beyond just the label of that that was revealed in that hearing. it's across a bunch of different agencies, gets into the white house we are going to see exactly how far it goes with this lawsuit. >> trace: attorney general eric schmidt running for senate, best of luck to you and thanks for coming on. coming up a 50-year-old mystery solved tonight when a murder victim known only as the lady of the dunes finally identified, plus remember when teachers union president randi weingarten champion to pandemic related school closures? now she wants to declare a pandemic amnesty. a lot of people wondering where is the accountability.

ron, jen psaki said that win would put a skip in your step.hank you for skipping over to our microphone this evening for this discussion. >> and thank you for not showing me skipping. i appreciate that. >> we have that video for later. we'll show that later. ron, what was that moment like for all of you in the white house for waiting for it? >> well, obviously, enormously significant. historically, this is something no president has done since john f. kennedy, to hold senate seats and potentially even go up one senate seat, pending the outcome in georgia. took control of the senate, which will indeed allow the president to pass legislation in the senate, and of course, get people confirmed. and in some ways, it's perhaps -- historical purposes, the idea to get our judicial nominees confirmed by a democratic senate. and so, that's one of the most important legacies of any president. and a very important legacy to this president. and so, -- keeping control of the senate is just an unbelievable moment. >> you mentioned the candidate presidency. t

. >> jen psaki, it's interesting.g earlier about establishment republicans turning on donald trump and for donald trump that doesn't mean too much. i gave you a speech following the midterm election, a lot of republicans came up to me. they were trump supporters, voted for him twice. they're exhausted. like frank said, they're exhausted. and then when they start talking about the fact that mitch mcconnell, you know, gave hundreds of millions of dollars, donald trump sat on his money, they actually -- they do get angry. >> mm-hmm. >> and we think a lot of times that people aren't as focused on some of these -- they are. the base is focused. and that's spreading around, you know, internet like wildfire that trump had all this money, kept it to himself, let these candidates lose. >> yeah. i mean, the words that came up in these focus groups is why they are so interesting, and they're so starkly different. you have trump, as frank said and you said, everyone is basically saying they're exhausted, they're tired. the themat

out there is kind of the air has come out of that, jen psaki. >> i hope so, chris.ll us that. all signs point to that including her loss. but i agree with david, here. it's quite possible. trump never learns lessons, kari lake is the mini trump, neither of them probably have learned any lessons here. so it could be that she's in mar-a-lago or in a couple of weeks he decides he wants to have her on a campaign trail and they're gonna double down on conspiracy theory. theory pushy. does that mean that they are going to win the republican nomination? it doesn't look like. it looks like there is cracks in the system right, now but i don't think we can roll it out as a remote possibility at this point. >> david, a lot of people told trump, please don't announce before the georgia runoff. he looks like he's gonna do it anyway. when you look at these results tonight, it's, like i can't imagine that's good for the republicans in that georgia runoff. >> donald trump and trumpism performs uniquely poorly in state by georgia races. so -- for the party, right? and they do not wa

jen psaki tweeted this out tell me what you think. la teen nope vote is not same anywhere.ation of older voters, most likely republicans. larger than younger. socialism doesn't play there. translation problem in the media. what is she talking about i don't speak spanish you probably do. cuban background. democrats go because the hispanics are miss informed. what's going on. >> democrats are in denial. they are in denial because they first tried to brand all hispanics as latin x. that didn't work. that monolithic brand didn't stick people don't like it. then they tried to go nuances and president first lady said we are unique as tacos that obviously didn't work and obviously offended people. and now they are trying to come up with more excuses as to why republicans keep gaining with hispanics. not just big for miami-dade county and florida. big for the united states. it's a template for success for republican elections for a generation nationally. and i think if we continue to communicate and connect with hispanics, it could mean a tremendous amount in terms of, you know, no

the same, question jen psaki what is the issue that you think it's most at stake on tuesday?ollowing the election but for 2024 because we are talking about people in states and the outcome of 2024 could depend on. and, it's decided to make it harder to, vote which secretaries of state can do. and, if they decide that they're not going to certify the election, that creates an entirely different battle for 2024. and, who is going to be president for the next four. years >> all, right john heilemann, what about you? >> well, i disagree one of the biggest clearing that jim said and i would say it would be the radicalism of republicans who you've already seen, the house republican caucus with kevin mccarthy vowing and shipping the likes of marjorie taylor greene. it is going to be an ugly thing to behold and i think that she's not wrong when she saves what's going to happen in the senate. the power of the maga base and the representatives that day, if they are governing in the house and senate is a potential nightmare for american democracy. there's election deniers, and the state

. >> joining us now, let's go to msnbc host and former white house press secretary, jen psaki.in the obama administration, you've been around, after a midterm election, i am wondering what kinds of concert conversations are happening in the former white house press secretary, and the white house, what kind of conversations are happening right now within the administration, with this new terrain that they have, potentially, the democrats holding the senate, and potentially, the democrats holding the majority in the house. it wasn't supposed to be like this. >> you are right. you're absolutely right, jonathan. i mean, this was -- everybody in the white house right now is holding their breath, ready to issue a big sigh of relief. and if we get some results tonight, it is going to change the next two years for president biden. i mean, it will change who didn't get confirmed. it will change getting judges confirmed, which is a huge part of his legacy, a completed session of wrong claims. and they're just waiting for the results to come in. but this definitely changes their vibe, it

jen psaki, michael steele, thank you all for your wisdom and insights.u alex. the great state of nevada is one of those states where the experts and much of the polling are basically saying that tomorrow is a tie, it looks like a tie in all the important races, there's no way to tell what is gonna happen. we are gonna go live to nevada for a closer look next, stay with us. psoriasis really messes with you. try. hope. fail. no one should suffer like that. i started cosentyx®. five years clear. real people with psoriasis look and feel better with cosentyx. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infection, some serious and a lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms or if you had a vaccine or plan to. tell your doctor if your crohn's disease symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reaction may occur. best move i've ever made. ask your dermatologist about cosentyx®. i may be close to retirement but i'm as busy as ever. and thanks to voya,

interesting president biden used choice and r referendum language in that sound bite, i remember jen psakiing it would be a tough night if it is a referendum. he is trying to put that out there? >> that is what i ticked picked up on, i defer to my mentor karl rove, as much as joe biden would like this to be ch choice election is not, midterms are always a referendum. they knew they were likely to use the majority in the house, the senate is a different kettle of fish, it is super close. >> say well the of money that has gone into it. on republican side they had to overcome deep divisions from the primaries, i think in pennsylvania. it was huge. they beat each other up, whoever came out of that was having a little bit of a hill to climb. oz show he's can do that, now that race is very much tied, but the republicans believe that if they can keep pennsylvania in the republican column, that is their signal they will be able to keep majority or get it back. >> mentor? karl rove, this is former president obama talking to democrats specifically don't worry. >> i'm here to tell you pittsburgh, tha

but what about jen psaki saying that part of the reason for the win is that it was due to spanish-languageinformation in florida? what you talking about? >> i don't know. florida is over for democrats. that's just the reality of it. we'll pick a couple seats, we have the youngest person elected to congress at age 25 and that's exciting. but there are other places for us to invest our energy like arizona and georgia. i think we have to in general look for new opportunities. it should be said that marco rubio gave a great performance. val demings is a star. she was a top my list of ep candidates for joe biden. he would've one with her. i think she's a treasure. she says all the best things about the democratic party, former police chief, tough on crime but kind to people, wanting reforms but doesn't have the usual the usual namby-pamby weakness. >> just gave up her seat so she is, her now. >> shall be summer eventually. she'll figure it out, val demings. but that was a real democratic loss last night based on the quality of the person in the candidate in that campaign, it was a wonderful cam

>> when jen psaki was at the white house she was asked how they were combating this information, sheies and flagging things they should look at. now we have email proof showing it's not just the white house but the department of dhs, intelligence agencies. what they're doing is censorship and punishment of people going against the narrative of what the biden administration once and it's illegal. they're subverting the first amendment and the fourth amendment and they're doing something the federal government is allowed to do because of restraint from the constitution which is to the use big tech and private industry to do work for them. bring to wear in space still where we don't have legislation on how to handle these. but they should be allowed to do this to you. >> democrats found a way to claim their patriotic but they just have to censor you to prove it. some democrat in the federal government calls big tech after jesse walters speaks and says it's disinformation. this is what put is saying, et cetera. and another democrat in silicon valley says, yeah you're right. i want to fig

i want to bring it to the point jen psaki raised.nce that these republican leaders are participating in, and that is the silence about exactly what happened to paul pelosi, the fact this it was politically motivated, the fact that it had many parallels to january 6th, the fact that donald trump couch stopped the rioters on january 6th. he's the only person who possibly could have, and these republicans also could stop what looks to be a wave of violent rhetoric that is now panning out into actual violence. they could stop it, and they are choosing not to. that is a sick kind of silence. >> and it's not leadership. i mean, people are elected to serve the people in their state, in their congressional district, to stand up for values and morals, and what we're seeing here and what has become way too common place in washington is that if you are silenced, if you avoid the cameras, if you avoid talking to the media, you can avoid the controversy around it. you can pretend you're not saying it's okay, but that silence, and i think this is

we have former white house press secretary, now an msnbc host, jen psaki. mara gay, and the host of "way too early," white house bureau chief at "politico" and the author of the best seller "the big lie," jonathan lemire, good morning to you all. joe, the sound bite we played coming in of the united states army veteran served at iraq and afghanistan was at drag show at club q in colorado springs when he heard the firing begin. charges at the shooter, tackles him, takes his handgun away from him and starts beating him with it, and "the new york times" reports a drag queen came and stomped on the shooter with her high heel. unbelievable story. >> you heard what he said, run to the sound of the gunfire, go to the action, go where you want to stop people from getting hurt, and again, you just can't help but contrast that with what happened in uvalde, what the leaders of the police department there and other law enforcement officers did there. it was just heinous. they sat and actually ran away from it, were afraid to go in. afraid to do anything, and here we sa

. >> will, i want to transition now to former white house press secretary jen psaki. she cannot evade big tech testimony. a federal court is denying her request to avoid sitting for a deposition on potential collusion between the white house and social media companies. that lawsuit filed by two republican attorneys general argues that the biden administration and big tech worked together to suppress free speech labeling it misinformation on issues like the covid-19 pandemic and the 2020 election. she tried to evade this but that is not going to be possible. what do you expect we may learn, will? >> well, we're already beginning to learn more of the truth thanks to the lawsuit by the attorney generals of missouri and louisiana. we have emails and know for example facebook and biden administration communicated in almost realtime. they can say we don't like this account, can you zap it and take it down? absolutely. we're on it would be the response from facebook. you know, everybody wants to make the argument it's a private company, twitter is a private company. they can

jen psaki admits inflation is the major issue but not her party's fault. >> when you look at the economywho say that they say they'll vote republican by lopsided margins. is there anything democrats could have done, was there a missed opportunity for democrats to not face that? >> inflation is happening around the world. there is not a lot democrats could have done to change that reality. >> despite trillions of dollars in new spending, federal spending out of the biden administration and borrowing under president biden. he signed off on almost $5 trillion in new borrowing. and with weeks until the mid-terms the poll finds 71% of the voters say the economy is heading in the wrong direction and pessimism about the economy at the highest level in the journal's polling. matt, they could have done something about it. right now -- i don't mean to filibuster. right now people aren't having to make payments on their student loans. that was extended again and again this year. it runs until the end of the year. that's inflationary, period. >> you have plumbers paying for the student loans of lawy

. >> laura: that is it, i have to pull you back to politics for a moment, because jen psaki, the oldss secretary weighed in on the new house majority for the g.o.p., watch. >> it is not just investigations into the president's son or other family members or whatever they may pursue, they have also been very clear that they want to impeach alan mae arcus, tony blinken, a bunch of cabinet members, they are doing that instead of doing something about lowering cost of energy and addressing inflation, seems like they will do nothing, they will do impeachments. >> first of all they have done nothing. it >> laura: i was going to say what have they done? >> they are making the mistake of thinking that republicans are going to go for hunter biden, they are not, they will go to joe biden, and the connection was made that he was the vice president, and so i think they will chew gum and walk at the same time. and they will address the issues that are affecting americans and gave them the gavels, because if they don't they will lose big time in 2024. speak of the first thing we have to remember i

jen psaki said that democrats can't do much about the reality of inflation, listen to this. >> inflation, it's a global issue, it's happening around the world. i think there is not a lot democrats could have done to change that reality. what you are seeing people like barack obama and joe biden do is really try to make this about a choice and not a referendum on president biden. we know inflation is an issue, costs are too high. we have a better plan. give us a chance for more time. >> sandra: wouldn't the plan have to say what caused it in the first place? >> the plan stop spending and if they were to hold on to congress they would continue to spend. they have showed that's what they want to do and that contributed to the inflation. a lot of this is a distraction from the real issues and also fear mongering. "washington examiner" talking about the social security issue and a democratic strategist said the fear of losing something is a great motivator to get to the polls. that's what they are doing on the social security front, the abortion front as well to distract from the big issues,

number one issue in new york state, and she says we're just trying to scare them which reminds me of jen psakiwill never forget, she's looking up the tv and saying i'm watching fox. why is jeanine pirro talking about crime? what is wrong with these people? >> harold: i'm glad that everything is well with your hand. i was worried about yesterday. >> judge jeanine: you are worried? thanks for the email. >> harold: i sent you a text. this is what happens. dana knows this, and has practiced this. i was on the ballot at the end of the campaign and when things are not going your way or they are going your way and you try to outline things that are going your way or try to deflate or dismiss or belittle the things that are not. some things are straining the notion of accuracy. friends and my party are saying things that may not necessarily altogether be true. again, there's a long tradition of that in america. i think of the end of a campaign, i think the thing that's most refreshing is it appears that the lines of been drawn in a campaign. democrats care deeply about freedom of choice. democrats car

i may have not liked jen psaki and some of the stuff coming out of her mouth.had a strategy for it. she knew the talking point. she stuck with the talking points. we see karine jean-pierre get frustrated a lot at the podium and that damn binder. she keeps flipping it and there is no answers in it. there is no answers in it. >> ainsley: hard job, manual. >> steve: it is but that's the big book of answers. whoever is actually running the country they are the ones who are putting the things in the book that she reads allowed. >> steve: big shopping day and straight ahead new reports say president biden and the white house pressured candidates to shut down that freedom convoy -- canada to shut down that freedom convoy earlier this year holiday travel havoc with 55 million americans heading home, travel is soaring to near preacademy levels. we will be breaking down where you see delays and cancellations. ♪ run, run rudolph ♪ santa's got to make it to town ♪ ♪ ♪ this... is a glimpse into the no-too-distant future of lincoln. ♪ ♪ it's what sanctuary could look like...

a tweet from jen psaki regarding biden versus trump. just throwing it out there for everyone arguing the reason potus shouldn't run again you know trump is 76, right? i don't know if everybody ages at a different rate so we can maybe set that aside. do you think the president former president will announce today that he is running for re-election or for election a second time even though he would be only able to serve for four years? >> that is the plan. he feels there is a lot of unfinished business. i think president trump agrees with the majority of americans, dana. and the majority of democrats in all the polls that don't think joe biden should be there in 2024. if donald trump can stick to a binary choice between the economy, energy, border, security, putin, crime in our communities and the other major issues, what it was like under president trump before covid and what it has been like under president biden, that is a cage match rematch that will have a clear contrast for people. not a referendum but a choice as joe biden would sa

donald trump will not -- >> yeah, no kidding, former white house press secretary jen psaki tweeted so dems have a florida problem, but republicans have a trump problem. that seems harder to solve. so putting aside the florida problem which is a big one, the gop is donald trump -- how possible you talk about the moving on from him, but still plenty of maga republicans out there who won't let the party move on, especially in these primaries. >> that is right. desantis's job for the next 6 to 10 months is to make peace with those people, to basically give them permission to leave donald trump by not attacking trump, but by saying, jumped a disservice, he was one of our -- but he was yesterday, i'm today, and i am tomorrow, and if you want to win you have to come with me. >> all right, before we go, i want to ask, you republicans might still control both houses of congress, but no sign was given a real mandate, so looking at governing over the next two years, you have written about the trend of the so-called two year presidency, because the president's party almost always loses control in

we are getting fresh reaction on results issue the latest from jen psaki, she says she has been in touche, they are giddy and gleeful about where things are sitting right now. mercedes, to you on that? >> mercedes: i'm sure they are shocked, i don't think they thought they would be able to pull it off and republicans were aggressive saying this was going to be a red wave, i am burning my red wave shirt now. carley, they were able to hold their ground, democrats had strong fundraising numbers, organized in these states and that helped push them over the edge. some picks, there are struggles, we talked about pennsylvania with mastriano, he could not garner more of the vote and know ares and that hurt for example, dr. oz's chance of winning. if you had a good governor pick like you did in ohio, that helped jd vab vance, and makes a difference. >> carley: what is going to happen in georgia? there is a good pick and that race is 49-49, could kemp help herschel walker over the finish line there? >> mercedes: i think we'll get into a runoff situation and you will see it get tricky. how do you r

looks like jen psaki and dr. fauci may have to sit for depositions.ttorney general schmidt. he claims they have uncovered a vast censorship network that goes to the highest levels of government. tom, like your reaction to this. watch. >> here is what we know so far. first of all during covid we know that high-ranking facebook officials were text-messaging the surgeon general of the united states saying hey, we took that down, what more can we do? we also know there was a special portal created for big tech with the government to take down people and you know, have them deplatformed. we know there were weekly censorship meetings. we also know now that high-ranking fbi official, at least one was working with the big tech companies to talk about and to sensor the story, the hunter biden laptop story. this should not be happening in the united states of america. now we're moving forward with depositions. it is important to take a step back and recognize the first amendment protects our fundamental god-given right to express ourselves, state an opinion eve

former white house press secretary jen psaki tweeted this.wing out there for everyone arguing the reason potus shouldn't run again because of his age you know trump is 76, right? former first lady michelle obama holds back her endorsement of a biden second term. watch this. >> do you hope that president biden will run again in 2024? >> you know, i -- i will have to see. you know, the reason i don't speak on that is because i know what it feels like to be on the other side of it and i think that's a personal decision that he and his family have to make. >> harris: first she grappled for the words but it is an interesting perspective. she understands the pressure. >> yeah, and i think most democrats would say they wouldn't want him to run. it will be very difficult for them to tell him not to run considering what you saw last tuesday. >> harris: did you see him on the world stage? >> because what we saw on tuesday. listen, joe biden has been in office for 665 days. the majority of the country disapproves of him. we saw 75% of americans believe

jen psaki admitted they flagged posts for facebook, if they do it with twitter, youtube, elsewhere, that direct violation of the first amendment. the first amendment is the government coming for your free speech but forcing private companies to do something about it, it's a violation of the first amendment. >> john: dave rubin, great to see you. see you soon. sandra. >> sandra: all right, john. we'll be right back with an update on the big game happening. no upfront costs at all. let us get your family security of cash in the bank. hi, i'm william devane. did you know there's only been two times in american history - two - when the national debt was larger than gross domestic product? world war ii - and right now. that's a deep hole. and i don't know how we'll climb out of it. that's why i buy gold from rosland capital. rosland capital is a trusted leader in helping people acquire precious metals. gold bullion, lady liberty gold and silver proofs, and premium coins, can help you preserve your wealth. call rosland capital to receive your free rosland guide to gold, gold & precious metals

an msnbc political analyst, claire mccaskill, former white house press secretary and msnbc host, jen psakiall. >> so jen, i spoke with someone close to president biden yesterday. >> how close? >> really close. not related and they don't work in the white house, but they speak to him all the time. they said even after his presidential victory, there was never a sense of joy because he felt the responsibility. there was this cloud hanging over everything. said for the first time since he started running the president sounded joyful. >> yeah. >> he sounded happy. he sounded relieved. and he sounded like the american people are good people, and i have been saying that, and i finally feel justified for all of these people who have been telling me i need to, like, just crash and burn and do what trump does. he said, they're good people. you can trust them. >> yeah, look, i've talked to the white house and people close to president biden too. >> how close to him? >> very close. not related. he used to talk when i was in the white house how after the election of 2020, the nerves were frayed. all o
