well, who better to talk to than joe phillips? t farmer. >> yes, he was indeed. my dad was a sheep farmer down on the romney marsh. and when he retired, eventually the land was sold and it was bought up by what is now the gusbourne vineyard, which is one of the best award . winning has best award. winning has absolutely changed because there was a time. nigel, i'm sure you're not familiar with wine particularly, but do you remember the days when you'd go and get an english wine, or somebody would give it to you as a christmas present and you'd think, oh, god. and it was up there next to the chutneys and there next to the chutneys and the marmalades, and it was revolting. and you couldn't even cook it. and it's absolutely transformed. and of course, round here is amazing. i can't remember how many vineyards there are in kent, but you know, they are all good. chapel down gusbourne. there's ones at tenterden. >> yeah. and you've got vineyards and you've got distilleries making all sorts of types of gin. you've got lots of little micro

was in the new hampshire primary, and that's where you got 4% of the vote behind president joe biden, dean phillips, marianne, i just want to ask you first why you think you're the best person to lead the party. >> well, first, let's talk a little bit about what happened there in new hampshire. reid hoffman came in with that $2 million to support the write in campaign for president biden's renomination. once again, the way billionaires have the kind of undue influence that they have. plus, you had a super pac that came in for days supporting dean phillips before the election. so sometimes these things are not quite what they appear to be. the reason i think, that i'm the best person, actually, for this job is because i've traveled all over this country and i have been up close and personal with what people have been going through. i don't think that the political system in general, and i don't think that the democratic party either. in fact, the problem is that it president elect trump has a very good way of coming across as though he cares. somebody has got to bear witness to the incredible suffer

dean phillips versus joe biden was not a competitive contest, so let's see how they do, let's see howit it. but my main point here is we need a dnc chair was willing to have the difficult conversation like this one, who is willing to answer these challenging questions, and that is certainly what i will lean into as the next dnc chair. >> i think it is time for everybody to start to tell people what they think, new york senator james, thank you so much for joining. we are going to be back after a quick break. ter a quick break. taken once every 8 weeks. fasenra is not for sudden breathing problems. serious allergic reactions may occur. get help for swelling of your face, mouth, tongue, or trouble breathing. don't stop your asthma treatments without talking with your doctor. tell your doctor if your asthma worsens or you have a parasitic infection. headache and sore throat may occur. ask your doctor if fasenra is right for you. i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks! —uh. —here i'll take that.

my daughter phillip just a boy or the parent joe schifflit his toilet. looks like it goes off the little business list learners. are you familiar with buddy? stuff uh the new something that was quite testable, not, not going to school, so i had a spanish. so i sent me an it just came, but it, sir, i brought them you up with them. usually. when you watch the quote, it's a little less a shot. somebody let me see what you're not going when you want them as rachel doesn't like us and us the so what's the problem is problem. 37000000. those are the places because unless somebody number i to i thought, but i thought of us with bullet february actually what's initially it will be in the after 2 days of relative clauses, riots reignite in georgia as pro e u forces in the country still refuse to concede this fight losing the election also, it is in fact and officially sanctioned to the rule of law is in the coma, romanian constitutional port scraps the results of the 1st round presidential election and the anti war candidate who won the cause. the decision of for

they stood silent when joe biden operatives crossed bobby kennedy and dean phillips and rick the rulesey stood silent as he stayed in the race and decided he was going to run for another term. they stood silent when kamala harris was given the nomination without a shot of being fired. i get why they are mad at joe biden. i think a lot of them need to turn the clock back and imagine what they might have done differently and joe biden might be in a place to raise the money. i think he will raise some money but he's never been a good fund-raiser, it's kind of working -- work he doesn't like to do and they blame him more than themselves. >> jesse: why didn't chuck todd's anything. all of a sudden he doesn't have a show and joe lost and now he's screaming from the rooftop about this and that. why did they do that? >> i saw joe biden's mental acuity decline in 2017. i talked about it on a regular basis. it's some combination of trumped arrangement syndrome and not wanting to be ostracized for doing anything that might help donald trump win. the irony is the reason joe biden has left the posi

he's going back to the drawing board. 9 politico writes, dean phillips was wright right -- right about joeen, but he finds it awfully unsatisfying. a party that consists of outside groups cannot do its job, and that means leadership. right now there's a total devoid of leadership. we are rudderless. i don't know which democratic party member my colleagues would a appoint to as my leader. i don't see much, frankly, happening. you know, we had this conversation, charlie r on friday night, had one subsequently with a democratic strategist. she laid out three paths going forward. one, which i'd say is probably the most probable path, you stick with the visionary ifs of the past, the leadership of the past -- rachel: you mean the nancy pelosis -- will: obama. although obama just took a big loss. the obama, pelosi, schumer vision of the party. two, you move to the squad, which that's probably not probable the way they took losses. you're basically left with a a oc. you lost bowman and corey bush. and there's a few others, but that's basically an all-in bet on aoc. rachel: right. because no one's

phillip in new york. let's get right to what america is talking about. an inconvenient truth. tonight, joe biden says that he's giving it to the american people straight explaining why he went back on his word and pardoned his son. the president saying in a statement that justice, a verdict, by the way, that a jury rendered of hunter biden's guilt wasn't really justice at all for my entire career. joe biden says, i have followed a simple principle just tell the american people the truth. they'll be fair minded. here's the truth i believe the justice system. i believe in the justice system. but i have wrestled with this. i also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice. now that joe biden sounds very different from this, joe biden let me ask you, will you accept the jury's outcome, their verdict, no matter what it is? >> yes. and have you ruled out a pardon for your son? >> yes, i am satisfied that i'm not going to do anything i said. i abide by the jury decision, and i will do that, and i will not pardon him joining us now in our fifth seed, cnn

they stood silent when joe biden's operatives crushed bobby kennedy and dean phillips and rigged the rules. they stood silent as he stayed in the race and decided he was going to run for another term. they stood silent when kamala harris was given the nomination without a shot being fired. so i get why they are mad at joe biden, but i think a lot of them need to turn the clock back and imagine what they might have done differently. and joe biden then might might be in a place to raise the money. so i do think he'll raise some money. but as i said, he's never been a good fundraiser. it's the kind of work he doesn't like to do. and these donors blame him more than themselves. >> well, why didn't chuck todd say anything when he had a show? mark? all of a sudden he doesn't have a show and joe lost, and now he's screaming from the rooftop about this and that. why do they do that? these people. >> you know, i saw joe biden's mental acuity decline in 2017, and i talked about it on a regular basis. i can't explain it. it's some combination of trump derangement syndrome and not wanting to be

democrats weren't having a competitive primary process there, although dean phillips did try to run himself, but it was a done deal for joeen. and then you had that big event, the state of the union address, joe biden's third — and as we know now, final — state of the union address, and his past endeavours had been criticised for being quite staid and, you know, boring. but this was a point — there were already conversations happening quite loudly about his age, his abilities, whether he had the energy and get—up—and—go to fight the contest, and so he came out really quite fiery... now, my predecessor, a former republican president, tells putin, quote, "do whatever the hell you want. " bowing down to a russian leader. i think it's outrageous, it's dangerous and it's unacceptable. cheers and applause ..really energised, didn't mention donald trump by name, if you remember. he kept referring to "my predecessor". i think he said that about 13 times. but very squarely kind of aiming all of his remarks against "i'm not donald trump." again, using that line about what a threat to american democracy the re—election of donald tru

former presidential candidate dean phillips told "politico" right now we're totally devoid of leadership. we're rudderless. retiring senator joechin with this take. >> i am not a democrat in the form of what the democratic party has turned itself into. the brand got so bad, the d-brand has been so maligned from the standpoint of -- it's toxic. >> aishah: fred, is it time for the older guard to go? it feels like they just can't get with the program. >> you know, age is something that's rewarded in politics probably more than any other industry on both sides. president-elect donald trump will be the oldest person to serve as president. mitch mcconnell is one of the oldest majority leaders and things on the democratic side, president biden and committee leaders, jim clyburn and others age into their positions. so this is something, i think, that the political system overall needs to address and we need an adjustment or course correction. there is nothing wrong with experience, fantastic thing. the world's greatest teacher but we need to make space in both parties for new leadership and younger leadership and more energetic leader

phillip is up next. >> tonight, tis the season for chaos. the world's richest man led the charge to nearly shut down the government, begging the question, who's got shotgun? plus, has joe biden quietly quit his job? the current president is mia. as new revelations show just how far his team went to keep him in a bubble. >> also, i'm not on trial. >> no matter how hard you try to put me on trial and alleged love affair involving one of trump's legal rivals may help bail him out of yet another case. >> and the extraordinary show of force to battle the notoriety of an accused, cold blooded killer. live at the table scott jennings, julie roginsky, jeff duncan, katie frost and michael harriot. americans with different perspectives aren't talking to each other, but here they do good evening. i'm abby phillip in new york. let's get right to what america is talking about. shutdown. we're just over 24 hours away now, and there is no solution in sight. after donald trump and elon musk blew up a bipartisan spending bill. tonight, the new one that was backed by trump just failed and failed badly. the deal needed two thirds majority to pass. so that means speaker johnson needed to

with abby phillip is up next tonight, bowing out, the fbi director says he'll give donald trump what he wants, a clean slate to shape the bureau in his image the moment he takes office. >> plus, joe rogan, it's a dirty, dirty business. >> the business of insurance is gross. >> and elizabeth warren, say a ceo murder underlines how americans feel cheated by big corporations. also, friendly fire the attack on our judicial system a longtime biden aide bashes her former boss for how he pardoned his son and junk food ban. a surprising state wants to tell you what you can and can't eat if you're on food stamps. live at the table gretchen carlson, geraldo rivera, julie roginsky, coleman hughes and madison gesiotto. americans with different perspectives aren't talking to each other, but here they do good evening. i'm abby phillip in new york. let's get right to what america is talking about. wray wrapping up tonight, the fbi director, christopher wray, is telling the 35,000 men and women of the bureau that he is quitting after weeks of careful thought, i've decided the right thing for the bureau is for me to serve until the end of the current administration in january, and then step down.
