volcker as if he'd just woke up after decades of the drift toward plutocracy a wherever you began paul walker interest rates went negative the economy has gone plutocratic what's been going on for quite some time paul volcker is right it's just you know a little bit too late too little too late you know he's a former federal reserve chairman who actually understood what the role of the central bank was to raise interest rates if there's too much speculation under grace penney ruto only changed the mandate of the federal reserve bank and said oh our job is is to keep the party going and then after there's a crash try to mop it up but every time there's a crash the problems in the system the debt the leverage is bigger and bigger and bigger so central banks are completely out of control they're gone rogue they've gone you know he calls of plutocracy i call it financial terrorists ok we're quibbling a little bit over terms of bottom line is the same central banks have abdicated their role of managing the economy through the leverage and the use of higher interest rates to make the cost of financ

[laughs] paul: paul walker first. pm may: i have done it again.er] pm may: anybody thinks i have george walker on my mind? [laughter] paul: prime minister, is the house of commons voted for another referendum for the people's vote, would you see ort as a resignation matter you having to implement the will of parliament as prime minister? pm may: i have taken it very clear view about the question of the second referendum. i have made that clear to members of parliament and across the house of commons, most members recognize that they gave a vote to the british people, and the british people voted, and it is up to us to deliver on that vote and not have a second referendum. as far as i'm concerned, there will not be a second referendum. we asked people to view, they said we should leave the european union, and we will leave the european union, and we will leave on the 29th of march, 2019. if you look across the house of commons, yes, there have been some voices for a second referendum, but i believe that when people come to look at the deal that we

we talk about my issues, we talk about the statute, paul walker. rents are on board, so -- yeah.you've got to keep the refs onboard with the program. >> my family's diverse in other ways, some people are body borders, some people are surfers, but we find common ground at the table to just dig in and, you know, feel good. jesse: it's about the waves and the gravy, right, brother? >> i have older brothers, and they -- they always get a 40 for me to drink, like, in front of the family. jesse: okay. just like the pilgrims did. >> for sure. for sure. jesse: always liked to throw back a 40 on thanksgiving. one of the things i'm thankful for is the party bros. i mean, they brought a lot of love and a lot of laughter to "watters' world". what are you two dudes thankful for on this holiday weekend? >> i'm thankful for our dogs, you know? reggie, trevor, ass clown -- jesse: his name's ass clown? >> yeah. he gets after it though, dude. [laughter] and i'm grateful for dunn con's dodge caravan, grateful for -- >> should we give a shout out to trevor, he just got promoted at ron jon's -- jesse

paul: scott walker. >> another package to help rescue jobs there. this is bipartisan on both sides. politicians should be responsible and be more responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars. paul: 200-some jurisdictions tried to get amazon. >> turned down some of like maryland and newark which offered even bigger subsidies which suggest maybe it would have gone to new york and dc anyway. paul: because why? >> it has more intellectual capital, talent, tech talent, finance, banks, hedge funds are really recruiting engineers, amazon will be able to poach some of those. paul: figure dan that i like and another one is google has a big presence in new york as well. i think they have something like 10,000 jobs here. they're not getting a package of a billion and a half dollars and i think allysia's point, they might have gone here anyway because of the other things it offers. >> yeah, store, technological workers, northern virginia will be able to provide that, we don't have enough technical workers to supply amazon with 25,000 people, all of that aside, to me the most fascinating thing going

paul: one of donald trump's least popular states wisconsin, which won't help walker.ng at? >> georgia, secretary of state brian kimp running against stacey abrams. race is statistically tied. last week abrams brought in oprah. kemp brought in mike pence. gives you idea of the stakes. what is it interesting about the race, abrams is running una bashed progressive. she is pro-abortion. she is anti-gun rights. medicaid for all. it is very interesting. this is a deep red state trump won handily, but she thinks that is the strategy to win. paul: kemp is running as a trump republican. >> very much running as a trump republican. the voters there have a true, true contrast. paul: dan, what are you looking at? >> looking at florida which is twin with georgia. down in florida, tallahassee mayor andrew gillum, running against republican congressman ron desantis because he was endorsed by donald trump. andrew gillum is up ashamed running as the second coming of bernie sanders. raising minimum wage to $15. raising corporate raise. spending billion dollars for school choice program

paul ryan was very close friends with reince priebus. had reincen, you priebus, scott walker, paul ryan. they are all gone from the political scene. what can the republican party do to appeal to young people and minorities how does it change this perspective that we are the party of old white men and the ?ealthy they came up with this blueprint that was completely upended when donald trump became the nominee. caller: i just wanted to say a couple of things. wasarlier caller said it security, butal we pay 6.2%, and the employer pays the other half. i'm not sure if that is what she included. underon that makes $80,000, i have been doing texas since 1986, and i have two accounting degrees -- taxes since 1986, and i have two accounting degrees, and i'm going to save about $1500 on my federal. my income went up because of the tax code. they keep saying the upper. it is going to affect everybody differently. i guess that is all i have to say. host: we will go to friday in pennsylvania, independent. caller: how are you doing? good morning. thank you for taking my call. i don't under

paul ryan were at odds. it is an odd time given states like wisconsin have very close elections. there was just a poll yesterday that governor scott walkerally of paul ryan, is tied in a very tight race for his re-election bid. he's -- he seems to be struggling a lot among independent voters, among women. i can't imagine that having president trump going after speaker ryan at this point is going to help somebody like scott walker in his race. not to mention the man taking on senator tammy baldwin and is really trailing in the polls and not doing well among women independents. >> there's a theory that the president is seeking to blame paul ryan if republicans do indeed lose control of the house. here's what the president had to say about that. i want to get your reaction. >> no, i'm not going to blame anybody. i think we're doing well with the house. we have to see. it's a lot of people. i campaigned for a lot of candidates who were down a little bit and now they're up. we're going city. i think we'll do well in the house. i think we're doing really extraordinarily well in the senate. >> the president, we should note, also did tweet that

paul ryan was very close friends with reince priebus. had reincen, you priebus, scott walkerul ryan. they are all gone from the political scene. what can the republican party do to appeal to young people and minorities how does it change this perspective that we are the party of old white men and the ?ealthy they came up with this blueprint that was completely upended when donald trump became the nominee. caller: i just wanted to say a couple of things. wasarlier caller said it security, butal we pay 6.2%, and the employer pays the other half. i'm not sure if that is what she included. underon that makes $80,000, i have been doing texas since 1986, and i have two accounting degrees -- taxes since 1986, and i have two accounting degrees, and i'm going to save about $1500 on my federal. my income went up because of the tax code. they keep saying the upper. it is going to affect everybody differently. i guess that is all i have to say. host: we will go to friday in pennsylvania, independent. caller: how are you doing? good morning. thank you for taking my call. i don't understan

wisconsin's governor scott walker getting a helping hand on the campaign trail from house speaker paul ryan, who called walker the best governor in that state's history. >> scott walker looked at wisconsin's problems, and he said to wisconsinites, here's an agenda to fix these problems if i get elected, i will do this well, he did just that that's what's great about our governor he said he would do what was needed to do to fix our problems, and he fixed it. >>> a final government report shows radio frequency radiation may cause cancer in rats, but there is no evidence that cell phones cause cancer in people. researchers say the exposure in rats was higher an longer than what people experience when using their phones >>> and starbucks unveiling its cups and beverages for the holiday season and will begin selling them tomorrow. that's a week to ten days earlier than in past years and the new offerings include peppermint mocha and toasted white chocolate mocha, among others it'll also sell a reusable red cup. and i heard the first christmas music on the radio this morning. it's too early

we'll see what happens with governor walker tonight. with paul ryan leaving as speaker of the house, retiring, he looks like he will now be succeeded by nancy pelosi as it looks like the democrats are poised to retake control of the house. with reince priebus having left the rnc and become white house chief of staff and now ended that, whatever status he ended that in, and now scott walker potentially losing his seat tonight in wisconsin. those three huge wisconsin republicans. wonder if you could talk about that as the sort of -- should we see that as the end of an era? >> yeah, very much so. i mean, we used to joke about cheese head domination here. and again in 2020, no state flipped as decisively from blue to red as wisconsin. i mean, they flipped the governorship, u.s. seat, both houses of legislature. if governor walker does not win tonight, that really does come to an end. and again, you're exactly right. that triumvaret, they knew each other, worked well with one another. it's possible by the end of the night they'll all be gone. >> charl

paul ryan had no expectation to leave the leadership until he encountered president trump. you see scott walkerrying to deal with these forces with his own election very much on the line. >> revising the house outlook to a democratic gain. house speaker paul ryan, 30 to 40 seats, meaning republicans will no longer hold the speakership if they don't keep the house. what are you seeing? what evidence are you seeing when it comes into play as to which way this goes? >> i think kavanaugh nomination fight did, indeed, consolidate and gin up a lot of support that was latent at the time. the mail bomber in the last week, which tried in essence to take out the opposition party or at leaders of the opposition party and the tragic shooting in pittsburgh, largest anti-semitic mass shooting in u.s. history. a tone deaf response by the president. folks across the country are saying do we really want another two years of this without a check on this president? >> although it looks like republicans could still end up in a very close race to keep the senate, which would split house/senate situation. stick arou

paul ryan in milwaukee. the house speaker on the trail stumping for governor scott walker there. these two would want to talk about is the president's position on birthright citizenship? >> reporter: it certainly seems that way, craig, and it was more than that. they didn't really want to talk about the president at all. we have actually made our way to wakishaw which has become a little bit of a joke because there have been some votes in a couple of key races that at the last minute have swung elections. it's a very republican area, but we often say this is crucial wakishaw county. i was down the street, and paul ryan who when we first made plans to come out here a couple of weeks ago in our heartland swing we hoped he might take a couple of questions from us, but alas in the wake of the spat with the president, paul ryan decided today he did not want to make any additional national news and did not come to talk to us. scott walker on the other hand did speak to the local media and with us in a gaggle, and he acknowledged this is a pretty tough environment. take a look. >> you a

donald trump and when i was out on the campaign trail, i went to an event with scott walker running in wisconsin, paulrdly any mention of donald trump of his caravan. when i asked scott walker, he wanted to talk, it seemed, about anything else. >> that's a big question. is scott walker going to pull this out at the end of the day? is paul ryan's seat going to flip? that's probably unlikely. you see the election so far doesn't seem to be as nationalized as coming into it. i think that the pundit class expected, we just finished up around focus groups across the country with polls and what surprise. it's not the main issue and the voters have a perspective whether to vote for republicans in the district is to support trump. they actuallyfairly divided and see the stagnation if democrats take control of the house as something that motivates them far more than voting in support of donald trump. >> steve kornacki, are there any big surprises you're looking at? there was a story on friday about alaska for anyone that covered congress knows this sort of institution as a way, maybe at risk. i'm not sure we re

scott walker well-known name. prine was justum -- paulng with him earlier this week. so to see that race if he, in fact, loses, psychologically, this would be a wig bin for democrats. >> strikes in arizona, you've seen them in west virginia and other places around the country as they campaign and look for more resources and more funding. >> wisconsin has really undergone quite a transformation. from the time when scott walker was the darling to have the republican pearkts took on the unions, he was considered for a while in the crazy separation, but nevertheless the frontrunner for 2016 and paul ryan was the rece presidential nominee, speaker of the house, now ryan is on his way out. a lot of people think president trump's republican party is nothing like paul ryan's republican party and now you see scott walker having difficulty in wisconsin. the pattern of that state has really turned in the age of trump. >> and in the age of trump, remember, they doubted that plant they opened there in rusconsin, president trump early on was visiting t

governor walker backed a plan, with the support of house speaker paul ryan and president trump, to provide $3 billion in tax credits to foxconn, claiming the taxpayer money would provide thousands of new jobs while renovating wisconsin's economy. but foxconn has scaled back its plans, now saying it will hire just 3000 workers in the short term -- most of them in engineering positions, rather than the 13,000 manufacturing jobs governor walker had promised. and the size of the taxpayer subsidy has steadily increased to $4.1 billion. during two terms in office, governrnor scott walkeker was kn for r aggressively bustiting un, and for his close ties to right-wing dark-money groups. and those are e some of the headlinenes. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. juan: and i'm juan gonzalez. welcome to all of our listeners and viewers from around the country and around the world. democrats have seized control of the house of representatives, flipping more than two dozen seats. this gives democrats subpoena power for the first time since president trum

walker's in a tight race. and the president's there, you know, insulting people like paul ryan. and there's another element to this. paul ryan because he knows he's retiring, he is the freest man in washington, d.c. right now. he's pouring wine for himself because he knows he's basically out of a job and he doesn't want to do this. what it reflects this president has always been -- he's always been overrated as a galvanizer. he's a great galvanizer of voters for him. he's not able to speak to anyone else. trump has sort of bogarted his way into speaking in cleveland next weekend. the president is -- he's not just a bull in a china shop, he's got muddy shoes on your couch everywhere he goes, and for some reason he thinks he's redesigning the room. and that's what republicans are going to have to face. because if they lose big next week it's because of this president, not what they're doing at the local level. >> one of the strategic uses of a president is you use the president where he can help you, and you don't send him anywhere where he can hurt you. that doesn't seem to have

walker, is in a tight race. and the president's there, you know, insulting people like paul ryan. there's another element to this. paul ryan, because he knows he's retiring, he's not going to be held responsible for this. he's the freest man in washington, d.c. right now. but what it reflects is that this president has never been -- he has always been overrated as a galvanizer. he is a great galvanizer of voters for him. he is not able to sprinkle that magic on anybody else. i was just spaeaking to one of y colleagues in cleveland. trump has sort of bogarted his way into giving a rally in cleveland next week. republicans there are terrified because they think if he shows up in cleveland, it's going to galvanize the urban voters there. the president is not just a bull in a china shop. he's got muddy shoes on your couch everywhere he goes. and for some reason he thinks he's redesigning the room. that's what republicans are going to have to face because if they lose big next week, it is because of this president, not what they're looking at the local level. >> stuart stevens, one of

i went to an event with house speaker paul ryan who is trying to save scott walker, trying to help himalker is in the race of his life in wisconsin. this guy was the conservative hero for so long. i went with him and the senate candidate as well. it was almost as if donald trump was not the president of the united states. you wouldn't have known bit way th -- by the way they were talking. they were mentioning jobs and the economy, all the things the president thinks is boring. he's out there saying, the economy is boring for me to talk about that. that is not the case for these republican candidates. it's simply not. >> mike, i'll let you ask the question, but really quickly, i just wanted to ask you the impact of the fact. donald trump is not on the ballot, as al said. but also another name not on the ballot, hillary clinton. and that seemed to be the toxic mix that helped the unthinkable happen in 2016. whether it was hillary's fault or not, whether she had just been in public life for 40 years, that combination allowed the unthinkable to happen. neither one of them on the ballot thi

paul ryan slinking out of washington. and scott walker losing. of the republican party and now basically potentially all going to be gone. it makes a statement about how this president has taken over his party. the other thing i would just add, mika, as well, is the divisive rhetoric coming from the president, the focus on cultural wedge issues. i've been out in these house districts most of which are interest in suburban areas. if you listen to the candidates in those races they sound so different from the president. they are saying if you ask them if they support where the president stands on immigration they will say certainly we need to be worried about border security but i'm more concerned about deliverables. i said to one member of congress that i interviewed i said you don't sound a lot like the president on these caravan issues. he said i'm not the president. it illustrated what a tough box these candidates are in. one thing and i heard susan discussing this earlier on your air. yes, it's true they are trying to run a turn out strategy i

walker and the incoming chair mike johnson talk about the future of that conservative house caucus, the american enterprise institute will host a discussion. live coverage at noon eastern. current house speaker paul ryan is retiring from the current congress and recently he talked to the "washington post" about his accomplishments and his plans for the future. >> good morning, everyone. fred gave an amazing introduction as always. just add a few other things just for sort of data details. paul wright is a 54 speaker of the house come has led the house for more than three years and a couple weeks he will step down. we're delighted to have. the "washington post" for what we one of his final interviews as house speaker. people begin i like to let the audience know you can tweet some questions as for speaker ryan using the hashtag #202live and will try to get some of them on air. let's just get this right of the way. something the crowd doesn't know. will this be permanent thing? >> jinnah use double that of the a permanent thing. usually the end of november at the utmost of december. it's what typically every december. >> just wanted to make sure. some guys had into retirement, some speakers i will

and what paul rye yan said what used to think is constitutional conservativism has changed. we planned to come out to cover the walker's bus tour before this is in the news, and no guarantees of what might happen, but certainly, we found that especially when you come to speaker's home state, he is willing to chat, but that is not the case today there. a clear recognition that anything that he might say would take away from what he is trying to accomplish in helping scott walker here, and also, a return to how he is usually going to handle the conflicts with trump which is to try to minimize them. quite frankly, i was surprised to the hear him go as far as he did on the radio show, because members of congress as you know, they are more comfortable on the home turf, but he never was willing to engage in questions like that or spats with the president at the podium at the capital where i cover him everyday. andrea? >> fascinating take, kasie. so glad that you are out there, and kristen welker. and now, let's take a look at the big picture with the nbc political editor charlie cook, and editor of the cook report and mark m

paul deanno tomorrow for the embarcadero center building lighting. join us or watch it live here on our 6:00 news. we'll be right back. mrs. walker. michael vasquez!e over here. i've heard such good things about you, your company. well, i wouldn't have done any of it without you. without this place. this is for you. michael, you didn't have to... and, we're going to need some help with the rest. you've worked so hard to achieve so much. perhaps it's time to partner with someone who knows you and your business well enough to understand what your wealth is really for. >>> the warriors canceled practice in houston yesterday and still no word if draymond green is on speaking terms with kevin durant. but everyone else is speaking about it. >> you asking me do i think draymond will say, my bad? i have no idea. >> reporter: the airwaves were dominated with the green- durant feud. some callers sided with draymond. >> draymond has been doing what he's been doing since he's been here. >> reporter: others with durant. >> draymond should have given the ball to kd. >> reporter: there was no in between. the fury stemmed from monday's game in los angeles. durant

republican scott walker is facing a challenge from the state school's superintendent. another top race who will decide who replaces house speaker paul ryan, one of the biggest issues in the state, as most state, is the economy. on election day, a new report from foxcon, stephanie and i have been saying this since this was announced, one of the biggest electronic manufacturers in the world. if you have an iphone, it was assembled by foxcon, if you have a play station or xbox. they're considering bringing chinese workers to staff the plant they're trumiping in wisconsin. i can't say certain words on tv but that foxconn hoax has been a hoax from the beginning. foxconn promised a plant in harrisburg, pennsylvania, 2013 and never broke ground on it. they like robots and cheap labor. when somebody finds chinese labor expensive, shaquille, fair not hiring wisconsin people. >> you know the thing, ali, voters have not been mentioning that deal to me yet but the foxconn issue has been polarizing all throughout wisconsin. you have democrats saying governor walker gave too much away with those $3 billion in tax incentives. governor walker touti

you think about scott walker, in 2010, 2014, republican hero. he's just aligned with paulues, the tax issues for him to go down in wisconsin, this is where the republican party is, reflective, where do they go in the midwest? old-school republican message doesn't win. democrats had a candidate in tony evers running on healthcare and education and he won. moderate democrat. not a roaring liberal in the midwest. >> pretty remarkable success going back to 2010 for republicans in that state. the headwinds of trumpism too much even for him in wisconsin. steve, i want you to show us a chart if you will, before the election everybody -- before every election they like to talk about congressional ballot tests and consumer confidence, there's really no better correlation between the gains and losses by the president's party. can you show us how that measurement predicts these midterms or not? >> i can. with respect to your question, joe, the fact is, we showed some of these charts before the election. consumer confidence, unemployment you don't see a high correlation of president u

walker found votes. >> it is. it is a place where we have beet watchisee what's happening. he needs big number. ure decision desk have t latest on that. >> waiting on it. >> this is paulst, they lost paul ryan's seat apparently. let me double check that. >> they lost paul ryan's seat.n wiscon >> we head no head back to missouri. claire mccaskill is speaking tos her supporight now. >> say a few words about what pp has ed today and how the future is brighter than we all think it is right now. we had some good results tonight. the democrats took the house of representatives. we have governors that are democrats now both illinois an kansas. so there were some bright spots. ndobviously, we fell short that's disappointing. not for me.l what i fe most pain about tonight are all of the people who for the first time, many of them in their lives said i am to going o more than just sitting on the couch and cuss at the tv. i am going to show up. foam going to work hard an the thousands of people who volunteered on this campaign, there were literallyands and thousands of you, i am so grateful and i want you to keep that fire burning because there is justice around the corner. >> c

walker has a very clearly closed here. something that is underappreciated, the effect in this of this, that he and paul ryan remade wisconsin narrow, but still i win and wisconsin, and governor walker and his operation still have a lot to d. >> bret: what else do we have? >> we would remember that recall office is up for serious consideration right now. wouldn't have to have a recall -- i have walker on my mind. it would have to have a runoff. you would have a clear call. the seat would be gone. there is still enough about out that it is too close to call. >> bret: we have an update on the ground. what are you hearing, john? >> hey, bret. right now i am at a hotel in atlanta where stacy abrams is watching her fans out here. her supporters are waving her arrival. this race is still too close to call. meanwhile, brian camp, we have a live shot from his watch party. this in athens, georgia, about an hour drive to the northeast of atlanta. obviously both candidates looking for a decisive win. for much of the night, brian kemp was a leading stacy abrams by a comfortable margin. but again, this is because the rural georgia counti

chair mark walker and incoming chair mike johnson talk about the future of that conservative house caucus. the american enterprise institute will host that discussion. current house speaker paul ryan spoke on the house floor about his retirement from congress. he also talked to the "washington post" about his accomplishments and his plans for the future. >> my colleagues, i rise today to express profound gratitude to the people of the first district of wisconsin. any comic you to swear new member ike we just did, it brings me back to the time when i i was first swornst in in 1998. i remember just being awestruck the first time i walk down the center aisle. that feeling just never goes away. i still feel it when i walk on to the for each and every time. i am immensely grateful to the people of southern wisconsin for the trust and the confidence. i've always had at this think about the people i represent not my constituents but my employers. it's the way i've always thought of this and i think it's important we as members understand that we work for the people and not the other way around. that we are in this to make a difference for them here can we work every day to keep that
