. >> monday's inside with jen psaki at eight, the rachel maddow show at nine, and the last word witht is time for our worst of the week. the corrupt courts edition donald trump is now officially a convicted felon, but he almost avoided that label thanks to four conservative justices, including two who were appointed by trump in a narrow 5 to 4 ruling justice clarence thomas, samuel alito, neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh all said they would have granted trump's ridiculous application, arguing the sentence would have imposed a burden on his responsibilities as president elect. what burden exactly? i mean, for a sentence of a unconditional discharge with no jail time, no fine, and no conditions of probation. my panel is back with me. any theories about this burden that the four justices were referring to here? >> it's very disappointing. i mean, one way you could look at this, because a lot of court watchers, including myself, have listened to oral arguments and heard justice amy sound very smart and then vote very crazy. and here was a moment where she sounded smart and she voted. wha

, jen psaki .t with these urban wildfires. and that is part of the problem here. i heard mayor karen bass talking about the federal response being immediate and cutting through red tape and getting these houses built back, but does that seem realistic in the grand scheme of things looking at the big picture? >> i think the reality for people to understand, it is going to take a great deal of time so the immediate response means tapping into your resources like getting canada to send planes where they can send water bombers, that is a part of it, it also means having resources on the ground and numbers to call. but people have lost their homes, their communities, they have nowhere to go, there's temporary fixes but this is going to be a longer-term recovery which i think means it is going to go away into the trump administration, it is going to be on the responsibility of the government in california but patience is not the right word, but we need to keep focused on it for some time beyond the next
