talked about nancy mace introduction of a rule to limit bathroom access on capitol hill aimed at representative elect sarah mcbride. that, of course, followed the trump campaign's effective use of a commercial claiming kamala harris is for they them, while donald trump is for you. the harris campaign had no reply. i argued the response should have been clear and included that when it comes to athletics, the goal should be one of inclusion but not at the expense of fairness and that brings us to this week. san jose is playing in the championship today because boise state forfeited their match shortly after winning their game on wednesday against utah state. you can see boise teammates celebrating their victory. hear that elation? hours long and then came forfeit y over reports of a transgender player on the san jose state team. that move sent san jose state straight to the title game today. it's unclear to me the level of dominance of the san jose volleyball player seen here, spiking the ball. we all, of course remember the case of leah thomas, the trans swimmer at the university of pennsylvania in that cas

and we are standing by sarah today to see pete hegseth on capitol hill with jd vance at his side, and also standing by to see what key republican senators think about his nomination after they hear from him and also see the new details about the alleged sexual assault that he denies happened. cnn's alayna treene has new reporting on this today for us. she's back with us. elena, what are you learning? >> well first of all, i think today is really a key test, both for hegseth, who of course, is going to be confronted with a lot of what sarah just laid out a lot of republicans in the senate who are going to be vital to ensuring whether or not hegseth can get confirmed. they're really going to have to see whether or not they are comfortable with having him serve as the head of the department of defense, so it's a big test for him. it's also a big test. of course though, for jd vance. he has been tasked directly by donald trump to bring some of these controversial nominees or potential nominees and appointees to the hill to have these meetings with these key senators. and really, whether o

>> you, sarah, there are a lot of really smart people on capitol hill, trying to figure out the last night and this morning how that whole process will proceed. i was on the phone with sources late into the evening yesterday, and they are trying to understand right now, if matt gaetz is no longer a member of congress, because he has now it's resigned his seat in the house of representatives, can they move forward with that boat, will there still be eight boat ? i think that is still a question a lot of people are trying to understand the answer to. i talked to sources who have made clear that if this report is missed, perhaps, that is different than just continuing an investigation of a member who has since stepped down. that is still a huge question mark this morning and we will see in the days ahead what can happen with that report. sarah. >> lauren fox, so much going on so fast, thank you so much for keeping up with all of it. appreciate it. >>> also the new surveillance video of the person who said ballot boxes on fire just ahead of the election. new details about what police are

>>> on capitol hill, a fight over transgender rights only days after sarah mcbride made history as therans woman elected to congress. republican congresswoman nancy mace is seeking to ban trans women from using women's bathrooms at the capitol. >> is this effort in response to congresswoman mcbride coming to congress? >> yes. absolutely, and then some. i know how vulnerable women and girls are in private spaces so i'm absolutely 100% going to stand in the way and to see the way that i have been attacked today and last night for fighting to protect women and girls is ridiculous. if being a feminist makes me an extremist, i'm here for it. >> by the way, it would cover any trans lawmaker as well as staff member. let me go to the expert. ryan noble is on capitol hill. in addition to that, speaker mike johnson has weighed in on this. bring us up to speed. >> yeah. so we have to keep in mind chris, this is just a proposal. nothing has been voted on yet. this would be a resolution that the house would vote on after congress is sworn in, in the new year. and the new congresswoman sarah mcbride

the push for mace, just weeks after delaware sarah mcbride became the first transgender candidate to be elected to congress. and joining us now from capitol hill ryan, why are republicans picking this fight now and what are we hearing from their apparent target, representative-elect sarah mcbride? >> reporter: well, ana, you have to believe that this is the outgrowth of what we saw play out on the campaign trail, where republicans made the issue of transgender rights a major part of their pitch to voters. you saw the new president-elect donald trump using it in the tag line to many of his ads that ran incessantly during the campaign season and republicans believe that resonated with voters who are still uncomfortable with the growing rights that transgender people have across the country. and at the center of all of this storm is sarah mcbride, who is set to become the first transgender woman of congress when she is sworn in, in january. she won an election in delaware despite this rising tide of opposition to transgender rights. and i talked to her before the election, and she was very specific with me that she didn't want the whole focus of

hill. that is the issue. what you raise difficult. you know, i can't sort it all out. but in that context sarah mcbride deserves to use the restroom. that nancy mace is in. and and the hysterics and the the the assertion of mental illness and the invocation of, you know and so forth. and then the selling of the t shirts. it was like the most i only got it wrong in one respect. i didn't think it was going to be a t shirt. i thought it was going to be some other form of tchotchke, but everything else was predictable and then i showed you the social media from mace just a couple of years ago. and, you know, she was at that time saying all the right things be inclusive, right? protect everybody's interests, be welcoming. my biggest concern and the reason that i chose to do this as my opening commentary today, and i decided the minute that i saw that nancy mace clip is it's for me. it's not about nancy mace and it's not about sarah mcbride. sarah doing just fine handling herself. it's the kids. it's the kids who just don't very kids that, by the way you heard me say, let's not do something irreversible while they're minors. you also hea

hill. i have my political sources at the table with me tonight. karen finney is the former comedic asian director for the democratic national committee. sarah matthews, former trump deputy trump press secretary, now trump critic jeanette, and bill sylvian, trump's 2020 campaign manager. sarah, what was your thought when you saw this play out today? >> there is not a lot that surprises me anymore when it comes to donald trump i will say that this pic shocked me a little bit, but then i look back on what he ran on in his 2024 campaign, and it was all about retribution. so of course, he is going to pick someone like matt gaetz to lead the department of justice because he does not want an independent department of justice, he wants it to do his bidding. and so, someone like matt gaetz would be willing to do that, and this will be an uphill battle for senate confirmation. he is low on capitol hill and i cannot stress that enough but his colleagues in the house do not like him. you saw, even when mark wayne mullen who served in the senate and will be voting on this confirmation, when he was in the house, he served with him, he has been, set on th

controversy about sarah mcbride who became the first openly transgender person ever elected to congress in this past election. under mace's bill bride would be forced to use the men's room on capitol hill. it's an obviously dehumanizing attempt to bully a new member of congress. it's a clear attempt to gain the spotlight given representative mace just three years ago cosponsored a bill that would have protected transgender people from exactly this kind of discrimination. and here is what she says now. >> is this effort in response to congresswoman mcbride coming to congress? >> yes and absolutely. if mcbride wants to go to the gym she can go to planet fitness. it's not going to happen not on my watch. >> the irony here is that if there are any alleged or accused sexual predators coming to town in 2025 they may be two of trump 's on cabinet picks. pete hegseth and matt gaetz are fighting allegations of sexual misconduct, allegations that both men deny. but, nancy mace is worried about transgender people using her bathroom. this is literally what it means to flood the zones. we are talking about nancy mace and transgender panic and not say the unfitness of trump's cabinet picks . the bul
