joining us now is msnbc political analyst juanita tolliver. she's the author of the new book, a more perfect party the night shirley chisholm and diahann carroll reshaped politics, and msnbc political analyst and new york times investigative reporter susanne craig, welcome to you both. >> welcome, welcome, welcome. we put the books on the table, by the way. we just. okay, suzanne, you get us suzanne, you get a new book. we will put your book on the table as well. okay. we love people's books. >> i feel left out here. come on. >> we got you. we got you. okay. thank you, thank you. i want to know. hands raised. this is what they do in their debates. they get people in trouble. raise your hand if you are surprised that joe biden called out all of the oligarchs in his speech. and the ultra rich and the technical techno industrial complex in his final oval office address, because i was and i was frankly happy to hear it, him naming the thing. now, i don't think most people know what oligarchy means. and so we have to be very specific. but this is a

also with me, juanita tolliver, democratic strategist, strategist. for being here tonight. susan, this wildfire tragedy will be waiting for donald trump when he returns to the white house in nine days. so far, he has chiefly been focused on placing blame for the fires on his political rivals, like democratic california governor gavin newsom. are you expecting any more leadership from him than that? >> perhaps. >> and here's why. rev, he will be president. he won't be able to just yell from the sidelines. as you mentioned in your gotcha moment. he will be held accountable. and a lot of his new friends happen to have homes in california in those areas. so that may add some pressure. but he will be he will be held accountable for it. so i don't think he while he may make the cheap shots as he usually does, there's actually a chance for him to build up quite a bit of goodwill and maybe even put this, you know, getting the money that's going to be necessary to build back. he may be able to get that, you know, to people and negotiate a little bit, but i do

. >> and rounding us out is juanita tolliver, an msnbc political analyst, as well as the author of the book a more perfect party the night shirley chisholm and diahann carroll reshape politics. peter, let me, let me turn to you in this tiktok ban, donald trump has said he's going to issue an executive order that proposes a way forward. >> that proposed solution involves a theoretical 5050 partnership between an american company and bytedance, the current chinese owned owner of tiktok. >> this raises a number of red flags. first, a 5050 partnership with bytedance does not solve the problem of chinese ownership as is required under the ban. and second, an executive order that ignores the law, which requires the divestiture and was enacted by congress with bipartisan support and upheld by the supreme court, suggests that donald trump may have a very broad view of his own authority here, certainly with respect to the other two branches of government. >> what will this suggest going forward for how donald trump will wield the powers of the presidency relative to those coordinate branches go

joining us now, msnbc political analyst juanita tolliver. congressman carlos curbelo of florida. he's an msnbc analyst as well. both of you, thanks for joining. carlos, i'll start with you. is that where the president elect should be focusing his initial energies? or one of the places is pardoning these rioters? he's undoubtedly going to face criticism for it. but isn't that sort of the point? >> well, allie, the president says that he wants to unite the country, and it really doesn't seem that that is a very smart way to get off on the right foot. there are some big issues that people care about immigration, inflation. certainly the president has the mandate to pursue those issues because they were big campaign issues. but obviously january 6th, four years ago was a very tough day for the country. and we'll see. i mean, if some of these people that he's pardoning didn't commit any violent acts against police officers, weren't convicted or did not admit to any serious crimes, i think there's definitely some room for nuance there. but revisit

republican strategist susan del percio, democratic strategist juanita tolliver.you both for being here tonight. susan, let's start with trump's cabinet this afternoon. kristi noem was confirmed as homeland security secretary with bipartisan support. however, last night, pete hedge, head chef, barely squeaked by. vice president jd vance had to cast the tie breaking 51st vote after republican senators mitch mcconnell, susan collins and lisa murkowski all voted against him. is this the new axis of resistance within the republican party to trump's most controversial appointments? or do you think others in the party might eventually join in, actually, to stop any of president trump's nominees? >> i think you. >> will see a. couple of different senators. >> it may not always. >> be. >> those three. >> but you. >> may get a group of 3 to 5 that actually on. >> certain cabinet. choices or. >> other issues that come. >> up, that. it won't. >> be. >> a slam. >> dunk, that the president has. >> all 53. >> republicans in his back. >> pocket that he can. >> count on. >> but i

justice and msnbc legal analyst, andrew weissmann, and at the table, msnbc political analyst, juanita tolliver. i'm still reading through this ruling, i know you are as well, what stood out to you? >> well, i think that our viewers should understand that donald trump had made a motion saying that because of presidential temporary immunity, when he will serve as president, that that meant that during this time, he should not be sentenced, nor during the time that he is president should he be sentenced so in other words, this should be kicked down the road for over four years. he also said that the case should be dismissed as a result of this temporary immunity that a president enjoys. the d.a. opposed that, so here, judge marchant is saying you know what, you are just like anyone else, there is a unanimous jury and a criminal case found as you said, 34 felony counts which is remarkable that we are going to have the president-elect potentially being sentenced. one final note is that donald trump still have some moves to play, because he can seek an appeal right now to try to prevent this sentenc
