i'm chris hayes. if you have any lingering doubts that given a choice between serving your interests and serving himself, donald trump will always choose the latter. i've got the perfect example of that for you. and it unfolded today, starting with the supreme court decision that touches on national security and freedom of speech, a decision that tees up a big opportunity for the incoming administration and its emerging alliance with big tech billionaires. today, as you might have seen, the high court unanimously let stand a bipartisan law passed last year signed by president biden, requiring the chinese owned parent company that owns tiktok, the popular social video app, to either sell its stake or face a ban in the united states. that ban would go into effect this sunday. the justices who, by the way, handled this case very, very quickly in a matter of days so they can rush when they want to. the justices all agreed that tiktok's chinese ownership meant, at least in theory, that it was a national se

this is chris hayes comparing trump to a cult leader. >> there's something strange about hearing it the second time. of course, the first one was the american carnage. it's a little like a cult leader who keeps predicting different days for the end of the world, because it's kind of like, okay, the first time you did this, we've had all these corrupt, terrible elites, and they've taken i'm here as your retribution. i'm going to make america great again. and then it's like, well, you did. you tried that once. >> so you have the same thing. apparently hitler is like, well, i guess he's not hitler. he's a cult leader. of course he's a cult leader. that's just the new thing. and you will hear this on cnn and you will hear it for the next several weeks. >> well, we are back to self-awareness level zero. they have no idea why trump won the election. and more than that, you know, it's just they repeat it ad nauseam and no one is listening to robby's point. he won the popular vote. he won the electoral college and everything they've said that trump would do, they themselves had done. look at bi

handing off now to chris hayes. >> and thank you, joy. stay right with us. it is 8:00 on the east coast. in just a few moments, as we said, president united states joe biden will deliver his farewell address to the nation from the oval office. i am chris hayes, along with my colleagues rachel maddow and joy reid. alex wagner, jen psaki. we're here for full coverage of the address. it is a speech marking not just the end of his four year term as president of the united states, but, as jen just said, a career in public service that began five decades ago when he was sworn in as the young, the youngest possible u.s. senator of delaware in 1973. just days from now, joseph robinette biden will leave office as the oldest president in the history of our union, and that will hold for at least for a few more years. as 78 year old donald trump takes office on its own merits, viewed in a kind of political vacuum, the biden presidency was full of remarkable policy achievements after inheriting an unprecedented pandemic a recession fueled by supply crisis, biden shepherd

chris hayes and i are going to be anchoring the afternoon, and then i'm on down to washington, d.c, which is where a lot of things are apparently happening, including the end of biden nomics and the beginning of economics and a whole host of other things. but as you say, i will be bringing it all back to you as long as well as some commemorative keychains and maybe some snow globes. sky's the limit. >> rachel maddow i will keep your seat warm for 100 days and then very happily vacate it once you are done with this project. >> if you need takeout options for lunch, i got plenty, my friend. thank you for spending some more of your friday night that we are grabbing back from you. thank you for doing it early. you are a goddess. thank you for helping us understand what is in front of us and what is soon to be our reality for the next 100 days. great rachel maddow, thank you. >> thanks, alex. i'll see you monday. >> see ya. still lots more ahead tonight, including some democrats have decided if you can't beat em, join em. and they are heading down to mar-a-lago. but what does the rest of the d

. >> was on with my friend chris hayes earlier at 8 p.m.ant to just play some sound from that interview because he makes a pretty strong argument. well, let's let michael cohen say it in his own words. let's take a listen. >> i hate to say this. i agree with todd blanche, and i agree with donald trump in this. if there's no accountability and there's no deterrence factor because there is no repercussion for the 34 criminal counts, i don't see the point in having the conviction. they probably could have and should have just dismissed the case. >> what do you think of that, andrea? i have a lot to say about that. yeah, please. >> so first of all, i do think it's meaningful to have this felony conviction. >> it would have been worse if it was sort of frozen in amber and unsettled forever, which is sort of what the alternative seemed until last night was going to be. >> but this courtroom, the testimony unveiled before us, truths that we never knew about donald trump's white house, a little bit about his business, a lot about the way that he wo

i'm chris hayes, the first full day of donald trump's second term is coming to a close. and until this moment, the president explicitly directing prosecutors and the justice department to drop active cases would be an administrating, administration consuming scandal for any president. and for good reason. that kind of interference, that was the core of the degradation of the rule of law embodied in the watergate scandal. the president united states attempting to wield the department of justice as a personal tool for corrupt and abusive ends. it ended richard nixon's presidency. it permanently tarnished his reputation. donald trump is starting his second term by doing just that, and he is not trying to hide it. according to a tally by reporter brad heath from reuters, the doj, just in the past 24 hours or so, has now dropped more than 300 pending cases related to january 6th. prosecuting people for their involvement in that violent insurrection. and they're doing it because the president of the united states reached into the justice department and told them to do it. and

it's unbelievable what they are doing. >> apparently chris hayes has no interest. >> trace: really, whenk at these types of things, as we watch the president dance and you look at the new names, they had a bunch of them last time, they are coming up with a new ones and what they are doing is they are taking him for a test ride, they are seeing at the numbers go up, last night they did not take the president , they did not take trump's speech at all for the inauguration, and nothing, not a word of it, they just ran though with nothing going on. they are test driving everything >> he was in a cult? the people to believe the world is going to end because of donald trump, even though they already went through four years of donald trump and even if you don't like him, it was not the end of the country or the world! this globe spends on, i think those networks have done the boy who cried wolf and have no credit ability anymore to say this is fascism, this is not see is him -- go back to the four years before that! >> trace: they know the american people voted for change by the way, after the d

i'm chris hayes. we are starting to get a clearer picture about two new year's day attacks, one in new orleans and las vegas. there's a bunch of unanswered questions. these acts of violence on the eve of a second trump administration are a sobering reminder about how high the stakes are of who administers the government. both in the technical aspects of how the tens of thousands of government workers who job it is to protect american citizens and how they function and what they answer to and how good they are at their job. as well as what the leaders including the leader at the top do and say in the aftermath of an attack like this. in new orleans, 14 people are dead and more than 30 others injured after a man identified as shamsud-din jabbar drove a rented truck into a group of revelers on the famous bourbon street where he was killed in a shootout with police. surveillance cameras captured the disturbing moment that jabbar approached bourbon street and suddenly peering around a police car there to b

and i think importantly, as my good friend chris hayes often says, politics did not stop when donald trump was elected. the laws of political gravity still apply, and donald trump's first major action in his second presidential term on political grounds is a political debacle. and that matters. and we will have more on that ahead this hour. but over the course of this week thus far, the course of these last few days, we've been trying to keep an eye on where the bumps in the road are, where the friction comes from, where the things are, what things are happening in the country that might make the things that trump wants to do harder to do. and along those lines, there's news tonight from another power center in this country, a power center that sits sometimes uncomfortably alongside our political system. but it's one that when it's at its best, it can be a source of deep moral suasion, deep moral force. when we think about the constraints on the powerful in this country, when we think about things that might stop people from doing bad things, that might persuade people to turn back,
