he said if the democratic party was more like chair woman jayapal and a little less like joe manchin,e would have won this election. is he right? >> they would have lost. they got to be nuts. >> kennedy, back in 2016, a lot of people assumed at the time that trump's win was a repudiation of hillary clinton, who was a bad candidate. this time around, it feels bigger. feels like a rejection of the democratic party apparatus. >> kennedy: it's a two-fold reaction. one, people wanted to return to the time economically between january 2017 to 2021 before thepandemic. they were better off across the board. so they lived through a trump era. so that may have been a shocking victory. unfortunately we've all had to live through bidenomics. it's not been kind to many people. so these voters have rejected progressivism because it has destroyed their cities. so i don't understand that mentality. only if we had been more progressive. only if we had more homeless people in the streets. only if we had higher taxes. only if we had been demonizing more cops, we would have won everything. no. it's the a

jayapal: he says things and makes it sound like they're true. they're not. i had to tweet back to musk and say if you're the majority party you can put any damn bill you want on the floor if you have the votes. you are the majority so you should garner the votes for the bills you put on the floor. if you can't do that, then you actually have to negotiate with the other side to get enough votes. don't come to us and say you have to vote for our thing or it's your fault. that's not how it works even if you say it a million times. musk has been tweeting out a bunch of lies even what was in the package. that's their m.o. for the american people if you're wondering where the next social security check will come from or whether or not their kid will get a cancer treatment or whether they can travel because of f.a.a. people forget all the ways that government operates. is so that is the real harm that the republicans are doing with the shutdown. reporter: how important is it to be in line with jeffries? ms. jaypal: mike came in with me and i feel bad for the guy be

be more like jayapal and the progressives? >> kara: if you want to keep losing, yes.ut joe manchin is entirely correct here. what i think -- this is interesting in my mind. the greatest strength of democrats, we're looking at them from the conservative side has been their ability to move as one, to have those uniform talking points that they all seem to dispense from the top down. they all fall in line. i looked at that with envy like oh, man, those guys have it going on. when hakeem jeffries says uff like extreme maga republicans, no, no, no. you have to respond to the realities on the ground. you have to be agile democratic parties because all of this moving as one uniform talking points, they're not working anymore. return to common sense. >> kaleigh: paul, a commonality between this political focus group and "the new york times" swing voter interviews is people cited the trans ad that ended with kamala is for they/them and trump is for you. it hit a cord. >> paul: yeah, it did. that's the crux of the matter. the democratic party forgot it was about the american pe

. >> joining me now is congresswoman pramila jayapal. democrat of washington state. the congressional progressive caucus until the end of this year, congresswoman, there is no better time to talk to you than right now. what is the mood inside the democratic caucus as you have the president-elect name checking members of the house saying they should be thrown in jail? >> it is always good to see you alex. you know, i think the mood is we are ready to have this fight and take it to the american people and we are strategizing around all the different ways that our caucus will work together, stay united and make sure we push back on these outrage things that donald trump is saying and perhaps going to get his cabinet to do. i also think that they did some cleanup after that interview. you know. some of these people said they will not really send those people to jail. we are in a situation where we should wait to see what attacks he actually levies and be ready to go after them completely together and make the contrast to the american people. we are not sure if everything

do you think the party should be more like pramila jayapal or joe manchin? >> i think it's not about left or right. i think it's really about how we move forward and deliver for the hardest working americans. and i would push back a little bit on the analysis that says that, that americans like what donald trump did in his first term. i don't think that's what it was about. it was about inflation going up faster than people's wages. and that's what we need to be focused on. i don't i don't buy the left or right. i buy bringing the message back to every family's kitchen table about the things for the next two years that donald trump is going to be doing. and a lot of those things will be things that hurt the hardest working americans, not things that help them. >> so i want to read something from democratic senator brian schatz and what he told politico last week. he said, i think kamala did a really good job on focusing on middle class concerns, but i remember her saying, quote, i'm going to center the needs of the working class. and i thought to myself, i d

and let's go now to the democratic congresswoman pramila jayapal. she is the chair of the progressive caucus. and, congresswoman, i really appreciate your time. thank you. a moment no one expected to be in here 48 hours ago because there was a deal. now, now it's gone. so i guess the question for you at this moment, now you must come in. the thing blew up. the republicans put out a bill. it failed. here we are. are you open to negotiating again, or are you in a position where you're saying you're only going to accept the bill that had already been agreed to before musk got involved? >> well, aaron, you did such a good job of describing the process that we went through. it's a four corners process, which means all the parties have to agree. that was the deal that got negotiated, that mike johnson, the speaker of the house, the republican speaker of the house, negotiated. now, what happened here was laughable. this bill that they just put up, they are in the majority. the republicans control the house. they are in the majority. and they couldn't even

here's congresswoman jayapal. >> it will be their fault that americans don't get disaster relief, that americans don't get their social security checks. that is, on the republicans. mike johnson negotiated a deal with leader jeffries and chuck schumer and joe biden, and now he's reneging on the deal because the shadow president, elon musk, said that we shouldn't be doing this deal. so this is on them. they're going to have to figure their way out of it. >> so there you can really sense democrats trying to put the onus on republicans here at the state of. as one lawmaker said, the mess they find themselves in this morning. now speaker johnson, in about 15 minutes, he will be huddling separately with a small group of republican lawmakers to try to plot out a course as they come together. and last night he was up here late on the hill with j.d. vance. they emerged from that meeting noting that there has been no deal yet. now, the reality of the moment is that house democrats do have an important moment here, to an important part to play here, to speaker johnson needs their support. he nee

began coldman, jayapal and others.you think it will work that democrats can get under trump's skin by trying to suggest that musk is really in charge? >> no, i don't think it can and also let's remember i haven't heard aoc talk about the fact that kamala harris raised 1.5 billion in 100 days or so. far more billionaires actually support democrats than republicans. if she is upset about their influence, maybe she should stop taking all their money herself as opposed to complaining about their influence on donald trump. >> griff: great point. clay travis, thanks for coming on and have a merry christmas. >> merry christmas to you and everybody watching as well. thank you. >> julie: breaking right now the house ethics committee just released its report on matt gaetz. let's get to chad pergram on capitol hill. >> good morning. a 37-page report and the committee claims that there is quote substantial evidence that gaetz violated house rules. they say he was involved in prostitution, sat tore rape and the use of illicit drugs

you've already had a number of democrat members of congress from dan goldman to pa manila jayapal, starting bottom line, bringing in someone -- in this case, one of the richest men in the world -- to to advise him is perhaps not such a bad thing when you consider he s.t.a.r.t.ed paypal, tesla, starlink, spacex. what do they all have in common? finding different ways of thinking to do things. and the overwhelming majority of what the americans were saying in the last election is they feel washington's broken, they want a new approach. so perhaps the influence is justified if trump is taking advice from him to think of different ways to do things. howard: trump now says, he suggested elon tweet about this. and after the bill went down the first couple of times, speaker mike johnson, who people are questioning whether he's got a hold on that job, let it grow into the typical washington christmas tree. elon said the political and legacy media puppets got their new instructions and are now parrot toking the same message to drive a wedge between trump and me. they will fail. well, they didn't fai

not they're going to continue to amplify the voices of members of the squad, people like pramila jayapal aoc and i'll hand to marx or are hay going to start to take their party back. they probably would have won the election if they didn't lean in for the last several years into all the woke garbage. hay probably would have won. but they chose to lean into the wokeness because a loud group of very angry, defiant, chaotic progressives pushed them into it, bullied them into it. and they paid a price. so now there's going to be a lot of in-fighting, and i think that's obviously to the detriment of their politics, which is okay with me, and to the, you know, the glee, i suppose, of republicans. elizabeth: okay. jason rapt, appreciate you so much. we'll see you later on in the show. t it's good to see you again. >> the billion dollar deficit, and you spent half our money, half of that on illegals. trump, tom homan, make a [bleep] out of this right here first. please, come here first because you know what? we gonna help you. elizabeth: chicago's minority and black voters in a world of pain. il

biden administration wanted to do, where they wanted to do things that progressives like pramila jayapal was trying to hold the line that would actually improve the quality of working people's lives. those are the principles that democrats actually stood on. but there were moderates like joe manchin and kyrsten sinema that would actually not let democrats deliver for us. so i think there are policies that resonate with the american people. i do think that we did not communicate to the. we lost. so we did not communicate properly. but i also want to say, i think that kamala harris is doing the right thing and telling people she. i know we think there was a mandate, but she lost by 200,000 or so votes across a lot of states. that is not millions of people saying they do not want kamala harris to be president. i think what she needs to do is she needs to say, you don't win, you lose, you don't storm the capitol, you don't throw in your towel and say, i'm going to be a brat and not work with other people. you say, i believe in this country and i'm going to keep working. and that's, i think,

uh, pramila jayapal, it's clear who who's in charge. it's not trump shadow president elon musk spent all day railing against republicans. cr succeeded in killing the bill. bernie sanders saying that we've spent much months negotiating this bipartisan agreement. the richest man on earth, president elon musk, doesn't like it. will republicans kiss his ring? the answer is yes. as we're talking, the actual president elect, donald trump, is working the phones. he's been talking to some of our brethren saying a couple of things. one is if the government shuts down, it's biden's fault. i don't know if that's going to sell. and also, this is a thing we haven't talked about. the debt ceiling. a big part of what donald trump is saying now is in order for any republican to support this, it must increase the debt ceiling. and that is one of the many things that is anathema to many people in the house republican conference. they just don't vote for any increase in the debt ceiling. therefore, anytime that happens, you have to have democratic votes.

chairman mcclintock, ranking member jayapal and distinguished members of the subcommittee, i'm glad to have this opportunity to discuss the work of u.s. citizenship and immigration services. our day-to-day work centers on adjudicating applications and requests for immigration services in a fair, accurate and i'mly manner. and above all, with integrity. on a higher level, uscis plays a critical role in helping our nation reunify u.s. citizen families, ensure a steady supply of needed labor for u.s. employers and implement the nation's humanitarian values preserved in our immigration law. it's important work, is we take that very seriously. i want to take this moment to recognize the dedicated uscis work force of more than 222,500s who work to carry out this mission every day. in my time as director, i've had the privilege of meeting many of these exceptional public servants and hope that today's hearing will allow me to share more of the great work they do every day on behalf of the american people. at uscia -- uscis, the work is life changing. with each application, request request for

i joined senator merkley and representative jayapal to introduce resolution reaffirming the need for stronger laws to prevent these tragedies and keep communities safe. many of our communities in michigan's 12th district live in shadows of corporate polluters. so this fight is personal to me. we are tired of greedy corporations poisoning our communities and getting away with it. and the bhopal chemical disaster, around 20,000 people were killed when poison gas was released into the area. nearly half a million people have suffered illnesses and premature death after the initial incident. and of course the u.s. refused to extradite the c.e.o. of the company that owned and rank bhopal facility to face criminal charges. we need and deserve a better world. not a world where the color of your skin and your income or your neighborhood, where you were born, puts you at a higher risk of being exposed to pollution that causes disease and death. and we see it in places like detroit and dearborn community where there's higher rates of cancer and asthma. we cannot tolerate a world where corporati
