there will be a huge battle for who gets to be the successor to maga and what maga looks like. we are going to see the last donald trump inauguration we will ever see. donald trump is in a lot of ways going to be in legacy mood for these four years. that is a totally different footing than he was the first time around. trump has no eyes on his next run, so he can set maga up to succeed beyond him or he can hamper its future with how he performs in his second administration. those will be one of the defining questions of this second administration as we look forward to monday. [applause] that's it. >> we now have time for a few questions. so, if you have a question for sarah raise your hand. we will pass the microphone back. >> that was brilliantly-put and i enjoyed it very much. one thing that is concerning me is this need to make the tax cuts permanent. and i understand that. but i am already seeing president trump bend towards the republicans in the caucus such as mike lawler who are hung up on the salt element. and that is part of the tax bill that i fully support. why shoul

but i'm wearing a maga hat.ta establish, you can't be wearing a maga hat and be doing a crime at the same time. >> ronny: how does wearing a hat change the fact you are holding a gun at people's heads? >> without a hat on robbing a bank, with the hat i'm peacefully protesting the rig's financial. i made it very clear! i want a lollipop too! the great ones! sorry, ronny, multitasking. >> ronny: the police are going to arrest you. >> and if they do, i'm going to be a political hostage. much like these people that i'm currently holding hostage. sandra, how many times do i have to tell you! >> ronny: josh, did your gun just go off? >> that was my bad... these triggers are so finicky, you just touch them and they go off. >> ronny: i think you are in big trouble. >> i mean, i would be if i didn't have... a second hat. >> ronny: save some of those hats for me. josh johnson, everyone. when we come back, jordan klepper went to the klepper went to the inauguration. this is cassie. she never really paid attention to her cr

but there will be a huge battle for who gets to be the successor to maga and what maga looks like in after donald trump.o this is it we've seen the last donald trump campaign weal ever see and see the last donald trump inauguration on monday that we'll of see. so donald trump is in a lot of ways going to be in legacy mode for these four years. that's a totally different footing than he was the first time around when there's always one eye of a first term president towards their next run. trump has no eyes on his next run. so he can -- set maga up to succeed beyond him or he can -- he can hamper its future with how he performing in the second administration. so that will be sort of one of the defining questions. of the second administration as we look forward to monday. [applause] that's it. we now have time for a few questions so if you have a question for sarah just raise hand we'll give the mic -- >> thank you that was brilliantly put and m i enjoyedt very much. one thing that is already concerning me is this need to make the tax cuts permanent. and i understand that. but i'm alrea

never replacing maga. nothing will replace maga. maga was the most successful political operation, political movement in the history of our country. maybe in the history of the world. let's see what happens. because we're not finished yet. we're not finished yet. we got a long way to go. but we're doing this in the very first day in office, and in just a few moments, i'm not only signing the release of the j-6 hostages. i'm signing other things that you're going to love. ooh, you're going to be happy reading newspapers tomorrow and the next day and the next day and the next day. so i just want to thank -- i mean, look at this place. it's full to the rafters. you don't have any -- look at those people up there. you don't have any empty seats. and by the way, the capital one owners, they are so good. we got to root for their teams because they have been so great to maga, to us. and i just want to thank ted and everybody. you guys have been fantastic. and the ice hockey team's doing great. ovechkin. ovechkin is pretty good, right? they

what does maga mean to you? and when i ask when it, what it means to you, does maga mean something different to everyone? is it really a movement or is it something that we all possess? we think we know when it is go ahead entry. well, mega is a very personal thing, but it is a movement. we seen the mandates that president shaw has gotten to change america and make it right again, and they get great again. so we're going to see that airline, seeing that people have been in office yet, it's been 2 months since donald trump has been elected. and you're seeing the world shift monumentally, things that bite and can even do in 4 years. so it's a major movement. i think you're gonna see a lot of changes in the 1st 100 days of the mag and movement. and donald trump and uh, you know, that's gonna involve as well. it's gonna fall into policies, into geo politics. and we're going to be, you know, we've heard certain times because there's going to be a lot, a lot of pivoting and a lot of big changes in the world. okay. tom

i think maga at this point is a complete overhaul. the way we do things was thinking about this for my, let my latest writings in. and i really do believe that it's, we're at a moment where everybody in america is feeling that we either we either evolve or we, whether it black, that inflection point. and if we don't evolve, then we will weather. and i think the fires in california are a perfect example of we can of the kind of been emblematic symbol of the, of the right within the existing system. and i think that that is what ultimately we want and it means different things, different people. and with my own community, i can see it, we have divisions all the time about what you know and the anxiety over getting it done as it gets the biggest impediment to getting anything done. and a lot of people are out there still getting those anxieties in order to try not get it done because of course maga is the enemy of what we what do i, what i would like to call davos of the european global is to have a much different agenda for the future,

, you've got the supreme court controlled by maga and the white house about to be controlled by maga.e, him talking alito, i think they probably talk whenever they want, email whenever they want. there's no more checks and balances. that is the scariest thing going into the next four years. >> angela, how much are right wing outlets like fox helping justices like alito and thomas avoid accountability for their alleged conflicts of interest? >> i mean, i think the dean just sort of made the point, right, is that there's no more checks anymore. and part of the reason there's no more checks anymore is that it is a reflection of that, is that they can do this stuff out in the open, and they know they're not going to get any pressure because, you know, because of the right wing narrative dominance. i mean, unless it really gets some penetration, the right wing media, one way or another, it daca be able to reach a large number of people. and that's the ultimate problem here. and so they're going to run covert interference because they know it's part of the larger maga world, and it's pro-tr

they first made maga succeed and the techno-libertarian billionaires like muscat are at the center ofhe new administration. my mother used to say, if it ain't about you, don't get in it, but we are all watching this play out and to be clear, i'm watching, but this is something that is going to test this movement, if you will. >> i disagree, simone. that 55-year-old woman in pennsylvania is not watching this conversation on twitter. she's not. she is still excited. the people who voted for donald trump are still excited. what is happening with this visa conversation, it is an online elite conversation. it is not a conversation that is affecting most of the men and women who voted for donald trump. do i think it's bad? of course it is. does it reveal a conflict of the republican party, of course. do i think it reveals some of the racism of a certain class of people like vivek ramaswamy, of course it does. but will that ultimately impact how congress behaves? i don't know what the security card elon musk has, right now they are just two guys talking like influencers online. until we see

and that was really a dividing line between elon musk and the maga _ line between elon musk and the magawoke and pro—free speech in a very— anti woke and pro—free speech in a very certain sort of way but — in a very certain sort of way but when _ in a very certain sort of way but when he moves into these pushing — but when he moves into these pushing anti—moderate, and mainstream, pro far right line of attacking countries that are not his— of attacking countries that are not his own, this is when it gets— not his own, this is when it gets to _ not his own, this is when it gets to he _ not his own, this is when it gets to be deeply problematic and we — gets to be deeply problematic and we will have to see if president trump is going to have — president trump is going to have to _ president trump is going to have to decide at what point he is going — have to decide at what point he is going to try to exercise some _ is going to try to exercise some restraint on elon musk, because — some restraint on elon musk, because ultimately it is the us interests — because ultimately it is the us inte

and won't be maga. but yet then she listed out. but if what trump wants is more business development, more defense ties, rare earths and tourism, we could do that. i mean, is trump actually going to vis a vis this whole conversation? david actually get what he wants after all? >> well, we'll see and we'll see if if this is just a negotiating posture on on his part. you'd have to hope so. but, uh, erin. and there's no doubt, by the way, that greenland does have strategic importance to the u.s., but the idea of using military force to seize it, uh, was way beyond the pale. except for this. if you think about how donald trump reacted to the original invasion of ukraine by putin, and you remember this, what was his first reaction? he said, it's genius. it's genius. i think his idea was, if you can go in and a country, why wouldn't you do it? uh, and you know, this is concerning, uh, because a world that is a jungle where the strong take what they want and overrun whoever they can, is not going to be a safe

washington, dc has been maga, new york has been maga. i go into the equinox gym and i see people with maga hats. i'm like, what is happening here? >> there's no way you will ever convince me new york is maga. >> oh it's maga, it's maga. >> you see five maga hats. >> let me tell you something. it's a marathon. i think so often in the conservative movement, we want to get everything right now. but he made gains with black folks, latinos and liberal cities. he won a aoc's district. i mean, that is a highlight of this presidency and we just got to build on it. we can't get complacent. >> all right. let's talk about today. and let's i thought this was one of remain standing as we honor our nation. hold on to the presentation. they have it. they're going to have the singing of the national anthem. i think we're going to we'll stand. we'll cover that. everybody has been asked for it at the military ball. the commander in chief, we are expecting the president and first lady to come. why don't we take the picture of this? w. >> oh, say, can you s

trump and his allies want to use the power of the presidency to push through a maga agenda that includes massive tariffs, pardons for january 6th prisoners and a rollback of protections for lgbtq americans. the question for democrats is what will they do in congress and in the states to push back on the emboldened, emboldened returning president with radical ambitions and no guardrails? joining me now to talk about all of it is delaware's freshman u.s. senator, lisa blunt rochester. senator, thank you for joining us tonight. >> thank you, reverend al, for having me back on your show. >> now, senator, let's start with the immigration raid in chicago. the wall street journal reports as many as 200 ice officers are being sent to carry out large scale deportations. >> starting tuesday. >> the city's african-american mayor, brandon johnson, says it is preparing for the operation. trump's border czar, tom homan, has threatened mayor johnson with prosecution if he fails to cooperate. what do you think this raid is all about? why is trump starting his second term this way? >> well, you know, fir

and next we go to someone who has an eye on these, and a keen eye on the maga agenda. bill crystal is here next. bill. chelsea: it's everything for us. we wouldn't know what to do. we couldn't afford for our little girl to survive. and st. jude gives us that. [music playing] my name is dawn. i live in central texas. i'm a military spouse and a certified dog trainer. i started noticing there was this wall up that i couldn't push through. and that was frustrating. that's when i decided to try prevagen. i'd seen the commercials and the people seemed really authentic and it seemed to really help them. after taking prevagen, i could say unequivocally, it has made a huge difference in my life. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription. hey, take a moment. do you know who we are? we are the kids you champion every day. we are the ones who dream big. and because of you, our dreams become a reality. these are more than just words. this is what we're all about. this is shriners children's™. because for more than 100 years now, shriners children's™ has been on a missi

i don't think so. >> never replace the maga. nothing will ever replace maga. maga was the most successful. >> politico operation political movement in the history of our country, maybe in the history of the world. let's see what happens. >> because not finished yet. we're not finished yet. we've got a long way to go. we're doing this in the very first day in office >> in just a few moments. >> i'm not only signing release of the j 6 hostages up signing other things that you're going to be happy reading newspapers tomorrow and the next and the next day, the >> so i just want to thank i mean, look at this place is full are after as you don't have any. it people >> you don't have any empty seats. and by the way, the capital. >> one owners. >> they are so good. we got to root for their teams because they have been so great to maga to us. and i just want to thank ted and everybody. you guys have been fantastic in there. the ice hockey teams doing great ovechkin ovechkin's pretty good. read. they're doing great. so i want to thank them. capital one arena owners that

billionaires by his side at the very capital that maga rioters defiled just four years ago. joining me now, angelo carusone, president of media matters, and maurice mitchell, national director of the working families party. it's great to have both of you with us. maurice, i'll start with you and elon musk saying in october that americans would have to face hardships as a result of making our government more efficient. how do you square that with the very working class voters who led trump to victory, and perhaps some of those who are going to be disappointed that they won't see him on monday? >> well, i mean, there's a reason why we have the working families party say that billionaires shouldn't exist, right? >> so over the past ten plus years, because of citizens united, which was a supreme court ruling in 2010, this billionaire and corporate money has flooded our democracy. >> and it's reached its zenith with elon's more than $200 million investment in his preferred candidate, trump's election. >> and so he wants something very concrete for that investment. >> the reason w

i don't think it will replace maga. i don't think so. never replacing maga.ga was the most successful political operation, political movement movement in the history of our country, maybe the history of the world. see what happens. we are not finished yet. we are not finished yet. we got a long way to go. but we are doing this in a very first day in office and just a few moments i'm not only signing the release of the j-6 hostages i'm signing other things that you are going to love. oh you are going to be happy reading newspapers tomorrow and the next day and the next day and the next day. raft everies, look at those people up there. [cheers] you don't have any empty seats the capital one owners they are so good we have got root for their teams they have been so great to maga, to us. i want to thank ted and everybody you guys have been fantastic in there. the ice hockey team is doing great. gretchen is doing great. i want to thank capital one arena owners. they have been absolutely fantastic. thank you once again to everyone and i can only tell you you are go

what does maga mean to you? and when i ask when it, what it means to you, does maga mean something different to everyone? is it really a movement or is it something that we all possess? we think we know what it is, go ahead entry. well, mega is a very personal thing, but it is a movement. we've seen the mandate that president trump has gotten to change america and make it right again, and they get great again. so we're just you the airline seeing that people have been in office yet. it's been 2 months since donald trump has been elected and you're seeing the world shift.

so he might very well sell out his maga base and go with the oligarchs.litical problems. so i think it's meaning it's a very meaningful political feud. >> andy, let me read to you. actually, let me play you some of what it what it sounds like, what you're hearing in maga world, this fight between bannon and musk, he can't take criticism. >> he's like he one of his weaknesses is that he he needs to be loved. he needs the masses to love him. he you can tell he's on the stage. he needs that glory. he must have adoration. you can tell that it lights him up. so then when the platform, when his apparatus turns against him, and particularly people that cheered him, saying, hey, we don't we hate what you're doing to this country. we know now that you're in, you're lying to us. bald faced lie. these are not high skilled people. when they turn, all of a sudden he has to go to what is the chinese credit score? this is to have a digital ghetto and to only have raised up what praises him. that that's the that's the that. that is like the little boys mentality of i wan

. >> as you can see, i'm not just maga, i'm dark maga. >> that is just some of what the president said in the farewell address last night. >> we covered it here on msnbc, and a lot of people, of course, are getting ready for next week in the inauguration. but these things can matter in all sorts of interesting ways. even the tech tools that we have, which are increasingly controlled with certain agendas by people who then try to tell you with a straight face, they don't have an agenda, and you can decide for yourself whether you think elon musk and mark zuckerberg have agendas that have to do with their wealth, their self-interest, as well as politics that reinforce that. you can listen to them and decide, but even through these tech tools, we have evidence today that we didn't have in the first moments after the president finished speaking last night, and how his warning may have at least elicited interest in the critique that he was launching because right after his address, over the ensuing hours, the most popular search engine registered a spike in people wanting to know about olig

by johnson, a current maga speaker. remember, mccarthy was one of the hold overs from a period he worked with trump but was not fully maga. he is, it helped with the marg and i know he told you what he is going to try to do, thin margin or not. to get into it we are joined by msnbc reporter from punchbowl. you were there all day. tell us what it was like from your eyewitness reporting and what it means to have one of the thinnest margins. >> it was dramatic. he got it done in the end. for awhile there it looked like he might not be able to pull it out. it was donald trump who helped push him over the finish line. in the last few moments there it was down to the three hold outs that is thomas macey, ralph norman. and keith self. johnson began working the other two on the floor. i am told he quickly dialed up trump who was in the middle of a golf game. they all went to a back private room where they huddled. passed the phone over to norman and trump on the line and i am told he made his pitch. trump said look i need you t

this point that you just made about this is an elitist conversation among the maga folks, i listened give his speech today when he accepted the speaker's gavel for the 119th congress, and he laid out this american first agenda. he talked about cutting the administrative state. those are cutting jobs. those are not just democrats or people that voted for joe biden or kamala harris. that will affect people across the board and disproportionately, i think, a number of folks that cast their ballot for donald trump and this maga movement. do you not think when the chickens come home to boost in that way or try to take a real swipe at social security that people might not say, well, wait, what's going on here? >> well, we are all in agreement that the next two years will be the find-out phase, right? but how that manifests itself depends on whether or not these republicans are actually able to accomplish anything. we all talked about project 2025 or the latter part of 2024. they were going to get rid of all these government programs. you and i both grew up in parts of the midwest. there ar

and that's just a taste of trump's nasty maga promises. so starting monday at 7 p.m. eastern, right here on this show, we're going to start keeping track with our progress report on how those maga promises are going. tell a maga friend, assuming you still talk to them. and that is tonight's reidout. be sure to watch lawrence o'donnell tonight on the last word, president biden sits down with lawrence for the final exclusive oval office interview of his presidency. they'll discuss his achievements, his legacy and what's ahead for the country. watch the last word tonight at 10 p.m. eastern on msnbc. all in with chris hayes starts now. tonight on all in. >> oligarchy is taking shape in america of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy. >> the president's parting warning as tech titans line up behind donald trump. >> plus, how many push ups can you do? >> i did five sets of 47 this morning. >> the performative manliness of maga world as they bow to donald trump, then questioning you when you do about whether you will enforce an en

he's got the hard right, and the maga. he has the financiers.e has to hold -- his thing is to hold that coalition together, but if you had to have somebody to do it, he's the guy to do it. that's why he is at the level of washington and lincoln, and this will be known, and when history is written, elon musk, steve bannon, tucker carlson, jonathan karl, we'll all be washed away and forgotten in the footnotes. they'll know two things, and pelosi will be washed away, and schumer. they'll know two things. trump and the maga movement, but this is a change in american politics. it's going to get two versions of populism, a popular nationalism trump has built up, america first, and you'll have populist globalism that looks like the left may try to come together with. >> jonathan: i contacted meta regarding bannon's comments about mark zuckerberg. they declined to comment. >>> up next, what will democrats do to try to stop donald trump's second-term agenda? we'll be right back with alex padilla of southern california. a single touch can say a thousand w

elon musk thought he could buy his way into maga with his billions of dollars, but now that trump won his ilk can basically say, "shut up, nerd, also go buy a bigger t-shirt. your belly shows when you do your little [ bleep ] hops." [ laughter ] elon musk is learning a lesson sports fans already know -- just because you're loyal to a team doesn't mean a team will be loyal to you. "but i bought the hat." nobody cares, bro.

i'm sure many other people who read it, understand the handshake between maga and crypto. you elaborate on the antiinstitutional bent that unites these subgroups of people and why there is so much kinship in these two worlds? >> there's a lot of synergy here. and a lot of it is probably cynical, right? as i wrote in the piece. crypto seems like a technology that was in some ways built for the way donald trump likes to conduct business, right? is what off the books and you know, sort of nakedly financial, like greed is good in the crypto ecosystem. more important is the ethos of bitcoin and block chain it's built off of. it is an antiinstitutional technology. that's the way it was created. to you know, to take the middleman out. take away the banks and the central bankers and the government and the oversight and the regulation and all those institutional guardrails that, you know, they help protect people, but they also leave people out of the financial system. people who are into crypto are really into that antiinstitutional authority. it makes a lot of sense. we're in an

house democrats have no interest zero interest in facilitating the extreme maga republican hit list on working families, middle-class folks, children, veterans, and older americans. [inaudible] clicks members of the california delegation have been very vocal on this matter have made it clear it is a complete and total nonstarter. this congress, in our nation's 248 year history has never conditioned disaster assistance to everyday americans whose lives have been upended by extreme weather events. never has happened. and it should never happen. >> think you mr. leader. do you believe president-elect trump.

i've got maga friends. that's how much i love america. i'm making friends with maga people.be like, "ronnie, china caused covid, but covid isn't real."
