sorry to interrupt, let leslie. but they have tons of followers. >> leslie: absolutely.nk this is going to be the way. the majority of democrats in the house, and the senate, and the majority of democrat voters, are centrist and moderates like myself. some of them don't agree with anything, certainly anything the squad says pay this up interesting to watch. but i like it, bring it on. >> kat: do you agree, nicole? >> dr. saphier: i say you only have to go to look and see the media coverage of the first lady to determine how they will actually treat this new group of g.o.p. women. the truth is they had to form this to counter the narrative coming out of the squad. it's unfortunate. as leslie just said, the far majority of americans are going to be centrist moderates. we have to have extremists on both sides to come but each of these narratives to really rally at this younger generation who are on social media and who are on magazine covers, and unfortunately that is just the way that politics are going right now. i think it's really muddying the waters. >> kat: when i to

>> leslie: i'm going to tell you how it's not racist. congress was proposing $284 billion, 60 of which would be set aside under donald trump's administration for women and minority companies. the reason is with the round of ppp that came, they got shafted. they are still getting shafted. look at the numbers. job losses, 140,000. what industries? leisure and hospitality. who suffered most? women and minorities. joe biden is not going to give you money, joe, and the white guys, he's saying we need to help those mom-and-pop organizations run by women and minorities to have equal opportunity to level the playing field. it isn't racism. it's unity. >> joe: just say all people, say were going to help everybody and not break it down by race. >> leslie: looking at disturbing funds to certain segments of the small business owners in our country, especially women and minorities because they were passed over the last time ppp funds were given out. they didn't get them. >> kennedy: a lot of big corporations did. let's bring mollie in. >> mollie: it

tom: leslie, good morning. ezra klein in "the new york times" has a spectacular essay, on how short the distance is to 2022. i think we get the domestic urgency of the biden administration on what they need to do to improve prospects in 2022. what do they need to do on the foreign front to help democrats in the senate, the house, the state legislatures, in 2022? leslie: you asked a really great question. the big point for ezra klein is that it is not just those measures in the senate making it work. it is sort of one thing to have a plan. it is another to get it through. on the foreign policy side, americans vote on foreign policy, but it certainly matters. tackling the big question of how america is going to sort out its relationship with china, on questions of technology, but also pushing forward to cooperate with china and show some big wins or at least the beginning of a strategy for cooperating on global health and especially preventing the next pandemic, and then on climate. i think demonstrating a workab

[ laughter ] >> i did have a nickname. i can't believe i'm going to tell you this. i had a nickname. my parents, my family still calls me this. it's a nickname. but my whole family calls me fez. >> jimmy: fez like the hat the shriners wear? >> like the little hat the shriners wear. [ laughter ] why fez? because it founds like fezlie? >> you're asking me? i didn't come up with the name. i think so, yeah, i think it was a riff, a baby talk riff on fezlie. yeah, it's weird. >> jimmy: were you fuzzy when you were a baby? maybe that worked in the equation there. >> i had a -- there was a -- the security guard in our apartment building, he called me fuzz. you know, he turned fez into fuzz. >> jimmy: i see. you -- boy, i was reading about you today. i didn't realize how young you were when you made your broadway debut. i saw you in "hamilton," i think that's

>> leslie: no, quite frankly, look.ents are relieved they are not being personally attacked or neither the freedom of the press or the equipment in the nation's capital, but that all being said, journalism 101 coming you report the facts. very quickly when i first started in talk radio when dinosaurs roamed the earth, i have to say during the week was a newscaster on other talk show programs, and when i hosted talk radio, my boss sat me down and said pickett. he said you can't be reporting the facts monday through friday and then giving your opinion on saturday and sunday. clearly i chose opine in. i enjoyed it more. if you are a true journalist, you should be reporting the facts and i am actually glad to see that the journalists have been reprimanded, because they have to know what their role is. are they going to report the facts or give their opinion about those facts. >> kennedy: gillian, sometimes feelings feel like facts, to be fair. >> gillian: strip the politics out of this for a second, i don't like when journa

i got to get to kennedy -- >> she wasn't trying to overturn the election. >> leslie, leslie. leslie, with all due respect, you've had a moment. hillary clinton was the one who told joe biden no matter what happens, don't concede. i want to pick up on something katie said because it's a really important point. that is the manifestation of this movement and this passion in the coming years, in the mid terms and 2024. that's going to be critical. so what may seem like posturing now is politicians like josh hawley and ted cruz reaching out to disenfranchised voters. the reason they gravitated toward president trump in the first place is because they felt like both parties and all politicians ignored them. president trump gave them a voice, whether or not you agree with it. that passion will remain. we saw that in 2016 with hillary clinton and the fracture in the democrat party. that has manifested itself in the squad. that energy is still very much there. it will be there on the republican side, but now what remains to be seen is how that is going to grow and who is going to capi

leslie, i'd like to start with you.esident biden is already doing this bid for conviction and we know that it's just a numbers game, right, given the legislative intent of his administration at this point, then why are they moving forward with this? >> well, the constitution. if you impeach a president in the house, that's one thing. that's done. that's part a. part b is, is this president removed from office? the is where as you know, emily, better than i, with your legal background, that this is the new precedent here. there is no precedent for this. donald trump is a private citizen, no longer a sitting president. however, does a political party not move forward with impeachment in the house because they know they don't have the votes in the senate? well, andrew jackson, bill clinton, republicans knew they didn't have the votes. they pushed ahead. democrats know they don't have the votes. i said that before. just like president biden is saying. but they have a constitutional responsibility to follow through. >> katie

leslie: i think it will be very tight.atic candidates are up by a couple of points, but i think that is probably due in large part to the fact that a lot of democratic voters continue to vote early. the polls are tougher to be able to call this race. out tof it will come doubt her turns out today. it might be days before we know the results of this election. as you know, francine, people are going to be incredibly careful about accounting given what we have seen in recent days from the president. francine: given that there is so much spotlight on georgia, are you expecting a record turnout, or is it impossible to say? i know it depends on the weather and things like that, but what is your feeling on this? we saw a record amount of people voting in the november election. >> i do expect a high turnout. people understand -- locals in georgia understand how high the stakes are in this election. the profit -- the fact that president-elect eitan and president trump have both been -- president-elect biden and president trump have

>> leslie: the police are saying antifa, which stands for antifascist, what they are is antigovernment, anti-police, anti-joe biden and anti-democrat. so quite frankly, i don't know who they are. they are a fringe element that is angry with everyone it would seem. and i do want to say as a democrat, i do feel the president should speak out about this. he spoke out and condemned the violence, the looting, the riots that took place over the summer. he did it when he was campaigning to be the nominee. he did it when he was the nominee. he did it when he was president-elect, and he should do this and called us out and so should democrats called us out. as a democrat, i am a pacifist. i condemn any violence. and i don't care who is doing it or who it is being done to, it is wrong. it is illegal, they are been about a dozen people arrested, by the way based on their actions at this point. so law enforcement certainly is doing their job. the president definitely needs to come out against this, just like he did when he was not yet president about what took place illegally and violently over th

>> leslie: history.ugh scaremongering and political campaign he doesn't usually turn out to be true, or at least not 100%. joe biden and the majority of democratic voters like myself isentress, moderates. they are not radicals. they are not progressives. it's, some of the things that president-elect biden is putting forth, and democrats, and many republican support. whether that is the raising of minimum wage, whether that is coming up with a final solution for doctor recipients do not have to remain in limbo. there are those that want the wall built, but the biden administration, that is going to put billions of dollars back into the pockets, and during the pandemic, people want that. speaking of pockets, they definitely want more than $600 from the stimulus checks. they want that too thousand dollars, and that, i believe they will get. >> kennedy: what about senator harris like joe manchin? they certainly come from the kind of states where progressivism hasn't caught fire like it has in places like cal

. >> leslie, your thoughts?nt to thank the senator mitch mcconnell, leader mc connell for helping democrats come out and bring ou so many democrats in the state of georgia. its clear, not just in georgia, but americans are looking at republicans as being those, and not all of them, leader mc connell and some of the republicans as being the obstacle to their being able to see their families, pay their rent, pay their mortgage, that' problematic for the american people first and foremost it's problematic for the gop, and in less mitch mcconnell doesn't want to keep his job and wants to go into retirement which is looking like kevin he certainly not helping his party and certainly not when all eyes are on georgia and that election. >> $2,000 stimulus checks, go. >> mcconnell's memoirs the long game and that's because he's not just looking at the current news cycle or even at one or two special election runoff that we have next week. i think he is preventing this vote and trying to link it to the other two measures

leslie picker joins us with much more on this story good morning, leslie. >> good morning, frank, it'sll street bets, the sub reddit credited for the massive moves with game stop serving as the poster child of the phenomenon. it's been painful for those on the other side of the trades, largely the hedge fund community. some firms were texting about how this was akin to the apocalypse for certain books the moves were responsible for a hedge fund's near death experience this week the ploy to wipe out served month ago when revealed in a quarterly s.e.c. filing a variety of puts in game stop, and bed, bath and beyond these stocks and others have surged in recent weeks, causing those who were barrish a huge blow melvin suffered losses upwards of 30% in the year through just last friday, that doesn't even encompass this week. ultimately citadel injected $2.75 billion to keep melvin afloat much to the chagrin of the retail crowd on reddit who were out for blood. frank, some even piled on for death threats against plot kin, his family, and other short sellers. melvin capital declined to commen

leslie, last question to you.he thinks that the recall effort against governor newsom will be successful. what do you think? >> look, when you have individuals who vote for someone whether they're democrat or republican -- i hated this when it happened with gray davis and when they recalled him. arnold -- they were worse off than if they stuck with gray davis. if you recall an individual, although you can, you spit in the face of tall voters who voted to elect that individual. that's what happened before. it was disastrous for california and i fear it's disastrous again especially during a pandemic covid-19. >> i was just going to say a lot of spinning going on in politics and we have to stop that. i again agree with leslie on that point. >> who do you replace him with? that's the big thing. >> dana: we can talk about this for hours. john, leslie, david, so much. >> bill: it's like a version of "the five". >> dana: one social media site is rising as an anti-facebook. as democrats prepare to govern with slim congre
