so speak so to speak progressive party looking party of the time this the democrats in south were purely reactionary purely reactionary embraced violence. the ku klux klan was basically the paramilitary arm of the southern democratic. sad to say, abetted politically by northern democrats, who welcomed? the alliance with southern democrats. the parties, in other words, are very roughly in opposite positions where one might say they are today. i just keep going on here. well, as you can see, let's let's just say that what we're reconstructions positive accomplishments. okay. well, one simply you're a lot okay. i'll try. well, one i've already talked about empowering people to vote formerly enslaved people and creating a two party system. bear mind that in most, not all southerners poor white people were also restricted. many southern states had restrictions, so reconstruction was also a liberation for. a lot of working class, poor people. i'm generally saying here it varies from place to place. there's that, too. it becomes a medium of education for people who, as a matter of policy were p

. >> the progressive party here in the state, it's a one-party state for over a generation now. >> you and more californians fed up, they are registering as republicans. >> trace: it's turning red. let's bring in... it's kind of interesting because we talk about this a lot. i want to play some of the media reacting to celebrity endorsements. they said the following. >> does anybody move the needle like taylor swift does. >> there are headlines about endorsements... >> all campaigns want celebrity endorsements. analysis shows it works and it's quote incredibly powerful. >> trace: so powerful. who cares? who cares if celebrities endorse. i say wire you so self-important that you have to kick in harrison ford. >> i don't understand -- i understood it back in the day but this very different election. i feel like this was -- they are only running on reproductive rights. in hearing men talk about it it's like the whole country is on fire, the hole world is on fire and they are focused on reproductive rights which a vote for kamala would've been putting 300 white men in office, in powered hav

simply a comments problem, it is a courage problem it is courage in standing up against the progressive partycan't any democrats say something simple like of course we have no problem after you are above 18 do what you want, below 18 if you can get a tattoo, you also can't concert to hormone therapy. >> you can't compete with people who have a natural disadvantage against you. it is deeper than communication. >> it is not commonsense, i work very very hard for weeks, months in our local school board and so many americans know what this is like, we got thumped and threatened and beaten over trans kids using the bathroom, it was horrifying what my community went through and what the trans kids, we had women in the back who yell you are brainwashed to a person identified as trans she got elected to the board, we can't compete, you say we have to be better, tell me what we are supposed to do when donald trump says boys are going to school and getting a surgery and coming home as girls, the fact that anybody would believe that is insane to me. >> one of the aspects of this, the issues underlying t

i think america needs a thoughtful principle strong progressive party and conservative party but thecan interest right now and i'm deeply concerned. thank about it shannon there is no party talking about fiscal responsibility and no parties making its key platform element working together and solving problems. our health care systems are an unmitigated disaster. our immigration system at disaster. no party has monopoly on ideas and i'm one of those getting sick and tired of it. representing what i call the exhausted majority centre-right and scepter of -- centre-left americans who deserve better but congress cannot fix this pair president trump president biden cannot fix this. we have got to start setting aside the nonsense coming back together and elevating people of confidence, decency and integrity so we can get our act together because time is short and the needs are significant. >> so you're party did coalesce around president biden when he decided he would run again one of the does one of the post messages come from "the washington post" saying democrats began the season by tit

sanders wants a more progressive party. ise a democratic party that abandoned the working class found the working class abandoned them. >> bill: didn't give the opportunity to get to know her. not a single press conference in 100 days doesn't help. rich, thank you. >> dana: let's bring in former trump advisor and director of message planning for president biden. meghan, i will start with you. the democrats are the ones reeling and trying to figure out things. this is from a cnn focus group. they asked pick one word to describe republicans and donald trump and one word to describe democrats and kamala harris. crazy said the white woman in her 40s who didn't go to college. preachy. asked to pick between the two words. woman said she probably would go with crazy because crazy doesn't look down on me, preachy does. i will let you take that wherever you want. curious if you heard anything different over the weekend to enlighten us how democrats will grapple with this loss. >> that's right. i think democrats have lost their way. t

accusation china's state run tabloid global times, the project is propaganda for taiwan's democratic progressive party's a very sensitive topic, so taboo in fact that the crew, the actors, the direct errors all take risks of never being able to work in the chinese market. the u.s. believes china aims to have the ability to invade taiwan by 2027. that doesn't mean beijing has decided to invade. what was the scariest part for you as you divided these potential scenarios in the lead up to a chinese attack ? >> when the panic happened . the whole society would be in disorder. >> and it could happen very quickly , even before a single shot is fired and that is the point these producers of the show are trying to make them especially now with trump's return to the presidency in this potential shift in u.s. defense policy on taiwan . his comments on taiwan needing to pay the u.s. for protection . this is a transactional approach that they are keenly aware of here and raises doubts about whether the u.s. would intervene if china were to attack. >> all of this now, something we all live through and see how it g

now after the democrats' loss of the white house and the senate, house progressives are taking stock and taking aim at their party's message. we talked to a member of the progressive caucus this hour. >>> welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. you are in "the situation room." >>> we begin with the new additions to the second trump administration. the president-elect hiring more of his loyal allies for key positions with fresh announcements possible at any time. the in an actor, katelyn collins, is in west palm beach , covering the transition for us. what have you learned, first of all, about trump's latest picks? >> reporter: it has been a busy two hours or so here in palm beach. i expect that we could get more announcements, potentially as soon as tonight or tomorrow, as donald trump is making these choices. he has been taking about for some time, certainly at least steffanik as the u.s. ambassador to the united nations. her example is one of those that he can today she has accepted that position. but we know, he wants his administration to start working on day one, once you take th

i think the party does have to become more progressive to win. the issues, but also let's be clear. massive amounts of misinformation, talking about how the economy was in crisis and people bought in to this. >> right. >> but the democrats also, as we were saying, they don't know how to sell themselves and they don't have the fight. the word i hear from young people is spineless. >> yeah. >> not a fun way to talk about the democrats, but. >> but, you just made the point, maria, about the economy. president biden, his administration, and democrats, by and large, followed him, insisted for years using white papers and data and the stock market hype. >> no bell ureates. >> and people did not feel it yet we told them they were wrong to not feel it and, no, it doesn't matter. it's just a blip the package of chicken breast that was $6 two years ago is $14 now. we got trapped in it. so, again, listen, don't lecture. listen to voters and meet them where they are. >> right. one of the things that donald trump also did, it wasn't just that he took advantag

while by, you know, you could make the argument that the democratic party was headed for this moment for some time. they have a progressive wing and they have a moderate wing and it seems like those 2 need to sort of figure out together what the identity of the party is. the reason that that hasn't really played out is because donald trump has come in and has united all aspects of the party, progressive moderate. what have you? they had one goal basically since 2016 and that was to defeat trumpism and donald trump once he is out of the picture, they are going to have to come to a reckoning as to who the party is. i think that's going to happen >> we still in the picture for the next for years. and joe will get you out of here on this. there's talk of rfk junior elon musk being part you know, trump administration. what does that look like to you? >> so the last trump administration, i don't think i'm being overly partisan and saying that there was a lot of chaos in that cabinet. there was a lot of turnover more so than any other modern presidency. what that looks like. we're the people like elon musk and rfk junior. i don'

you have folks on the progressive wing of the party saying that it is time to lean a bit further to the left saying they think that the party needs to drill down on progressive policies, younger ideas, younger leadership, and not make a play for moderate republicans like what we saw this go around. on the flip side you have some who are saying that it is time for the democratic party to refocus on so-called kitchen table topics and not talk so much about some of the cultural things. the question is going to be where do they go over the next four years without any clear leadership at the helm of the party itself. back to you. >> all right, jarred hill in washington. thanks. >>> president-elect trump also appears to have defeated his landmark federal criminal case in washington. cbs news has learned special counsel jack smith is making preparations to wind down his criminal case against trump for conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election. cbs' scott macfarlane has that story. >> reporter: cbs news has learned special counsel jack smith is expected to shut down the federal cr

party system. and you believe if i'm understanding correctly, that progresses to just the band and the democratic party? yeah, i think that this election in particular hasn't really revealed why that's necessary . often times progresses are told that the reason why the democratic party not embrace that particular policy priority is because it's simply not popular and that there's a trade off between democrats winning elections and getting the bose that are necessary to win elections in pursuing some progressive priority which is framed by the democrats as to as a tear to actually when, if it's on the ballot, i think that's often not the case. but with respect to gaza, polls are really, really clear about comma harris would benefit enormously from supporting on arms and vargo against israel, particularly in the states. but you've really needs to when i'm talking. 30 plus percent of voters in georgia are saying that they would be more likely to vote for commer harris if she were to support in arms and cargo versus single digit numbers would say they'd be less likely to vote for her. so i think the questi

the house progressives say they are not the problem in, their party they want -- progressive left alienateders say establishment democrats holding the party back. >> i mean just what they do every time but look at what their votes were on critical economic issues, then tell me how you think it was proves that issue to flame, i have said, that i think we need to rebuild the party for too long our party, has been held hostage to big money interests. >>. >> progressives welcome new members on capitol hill plotting next move some progressives want to turn this lame-duck session into a last ditch effort to thwart president-elect's plans by getting the as many immigrants waiting for it legal paperwork as much climate money allocated as fast as possible. >> there are a lot of people, um being who he could have green card or u.s. citizens we should make sure, that people have the paperwork they need so they don't have their civil liberties violates by right wing crazies trump is about to put in pour. as far as climate goes the more we can get, federal support, to those businesses and those workers

do you still get the support you want from the left wing of the democratic party, progressives, and theemocratic party? >> i am so proud of the fact that we have got a broad coalition of people in the 17th congressional district, that includes the many republicans who i run into in recent days and say, mondaire, i am a lifelong republican, but i am voting for you. that happened in recent days, i am proud of that kind of support. of course, i hear about it from my volunteers, who are having conversations with people all throughout the district, some of these conversations are coming back to me and i'm so excited about it. this election is the most important election of our lifetimes. this is not an election about democrats versus republicans. this is about whether you believe in democracy. this is about whether you believe in women's reproductive freedom. this is about whether you believe in and will do something to combat climate change. all of these things and more are at stake in this most existential election, where donald trump is somehow now more unhinged than he was back in 2020.

the progressive wing of the democratic party is not very popular if thesen because you know, like mike is running against jones westchester county, and the issue that is being run against most of the republican candidates in new york is, in fact, abortion. >> abortion, abortion, abortion -- paul: every five minutes it is on tv. >> that's right and mike waller running as the democratic monitor jones accusing him of being in favor of defund the police which is amusing because jones says that is something stupid i said when i was younger. wait a minute, what does he mean by younger defund police e mirnlged 2021 well he was younge democrats are running away from those kinds of positions and they're trying to run towards the center and a lot of these -- elections in new york are in westchester county catskills central new york a lot of working class people have moved up into those areas. and though may have voted democrat a lot of their lives they're tending now towards the right and that i think is the republicans and some of these swing districts a real chance

the progress of this party is made is incredible. it's very inclusive with everybody including a great mirror right back there. that's great. that is a great mer jamesville for us. but i just want to, i want to thank everybody and a very special, a low to michigan. we're going to do some great things on the bring the car business glazing back. you're not going to remember what was like, we're gonna, we're going to make the choice. we're gonna make the choice greater than it avoids you. and i've been hearing about detroit for a long time. they've been talking about that miracle a detroit. well, i mean, look, we gotta be honest, has it happen? but it's going to happen now. it's going to happen. and as a level is that you never driven by civil. so for you, for the auto workers who have been so incredible, you've been so incredible, you're going to be going to be very happy with the things we're doing. we killed the plant as you know, in mexico, the biggest plant in the world who is going to be built in mexico. i asked but i'd like to be

of molten lebanese politics with all its secretary and complexities defended the secular progressive socialist party in may 1949, a policy that rejected sectarianism, and supported arab nationalism and social justice. world war 2 had ended, and global political alliances were shifting. israel was founded in may 1948 with all macbeth, a catastrophe for the palestinians, while lebanon was still struggling to build the foundations of its own embry on a country. gemalto black plated, important regional and global roll, calling for our of unity and support for a palestinian corps, one opposing lebanon's alignments with colonizing western powers. that you didn't get there. but the whole of this stuff last because it's a need to, to, to be at the 31st to try to send me. you said i was having the mazda and the manager of law liability. a see i see, well in sunni and will disconnect the from the bedroom any i'm supposed to know, so i mentioned left about not already 9 minutes. the plan has the sub also been develop. i'll post it on a little sonya, otherwise a machine. and so when did i, you know, hold on by

know, truly it's historically on points since the neo cons originally came from progressive left into the republican party. and so it took it over. yup. you know, late seventies, early eighties and moved us in a much more intervention list, you know, interventionist, uh, you know, oriented direction. and so, uh, they swarmed towards wherever the levers of power are at the moment. and wherever they can exercise power over what is they care the most about. which of course is this messy on a re, say to, you know, intervention and taking over and reforming things and, and, and in the image of america, you know, to, to whatever that means. to them at that time. and so this is just another degree of that, and my bigger fear is that eventually they come back to the republican party and that you see people like connelly's arise. and these people in the republican party, common deering influence. again, people like mike mike pump pay, who i don't believe should have any role and republican party whatsoever. and so that's my hope. yeah. why i might pompei or should be in prison and his where he belongs. okay. i mea

but, if there is a real earth to redefine the party progressives worry about being sidelined, if theyre worried, if they are sidelined, they have no one but themselves to blame they are all sellouts. bernie is a sell-out, too. they compromise antiwar cred when standing mute when liz cheney became kamala's de facto running mate. pivot from more radical positions? >> i think that a lot of voters really don't like fake people. if during the entire time the campaign season you're saying that you are down with trans people or the lgbtq community and then you lose an election and then the next day you say all that stuff was wrong. what people are more upset about is someone was doing something they didn't believe and just saying something. >> laura: so articulate. now aoc is grousing about people like congressman -- that seth moulton who post election claimed that his party had gone too extreme saying that i have two little girls, i don't want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or a formerly male athlete. but as the democrat i'm supposed to be frayed to say that that kicked

the reaction to barack obama was also the tea party, maga, but that reaction , the backlash, did not stop march of progressat continue diversifying our parties. to include the republican party, which now has more republicans in congress , five, then it's had since reconstruction. the warning of the piece is is not inevitable that a monolithic black vote be a good bad outcome. we're going to see i think this election -- >> find ted's peace in the washington post. we have run out of time, but if nativism in the united states becomes multiracial it will change the country forever. certainly worth the read. ted johnson, thank you so much for being with me. >> thank you. >>> it's the most important trip we take as americans. it is the walk to vote. i speak to an author and illustrator sharing the story behind that simple act through a children's book. next. >>> kids and maybe some adult sometimes might wonder why do we go out of our way to vote? a children's book answers that question with the story of a walk . i spoke with the author and illustrator for our latest addition of art is life. >> my name is winston

audience asked questions question reports that hard part of trying to a coalition and progressive democratic partyistently stay there that is just hard. the college that tendency for college graduates voting for trump. we had not found a coalition that is capable to answer these questions she and others have braved. i think it's hard to put the coalitions together. we've not done it yet. i don't have any clear idea of how that happens. >> will jump into say i love the way david clarified the opposite side of the if you are the democratic party but there is one sense you're winning are or almost winning every time. one negative of that would change the rules of the game so that you win. and he saw that sort of happening after 2020 would change the rules of the game so more of my voters get to turn out, find more votes. that's one negative externality of winning or almost winning every time. another one is what dave is suggesting. that's when the parties aren't rough parity like this and the elections are close and you see your self fully over time losing voters, how are you going to build the coali

she can't say when her agenda is because she knows it can be rejected but the progressives have taken over the democratic party had it happen with the republicans with the tee party and then we said chill out. then we got back to center. this is why the selection is not working, it's not because democrats it's because the progressives inside the democrats. they're like we don't want these things that either but if they say they are agenda, is going to be worse than it's going to be next tuesday. i know we have the night off but we could totally come in at 10:00 and film because this [bleep] is over.

[lau

party. it is about the values. not simply that problem, but it is a courage problem too. standing up against the progressiveing of the party. why can't any democrat just say something simple like of course we have no problems after you are above 18 to do what you want. this is america. below 18 if you can't get a tattoo you also can't play against people that have a natural disadvantage against the. this is common sense. >> it is not common sense. i worked very hard to four months , and so many americans know what this is like. we got thumped and threatened and beaten over trans kids using the bathroom. it was horrifying what my community went to through. we had a woman in the back you yelled you are brainwashed to a person who identified as trent and she got elected to the board. he said we have to be better on messaging to tell me what we are supposed to do when donald trump says boys are going to school and getting a surgery and coming home as girls. the fact that anybody would believe that is insane to me, but i do not know what to do. we should be protecting vulnerable people, but we can't. >> the issu

one of the most prominent progressives in the party is trying to get the answers to those questions bying the very voters who voted for donald trump but still voted for her. alexandria ocasio-cortez wants to know how there is a diagram where voters see similarities between here and the president-elect, who is basically her polar opposite. >> there's a not insignificant amount of down ballot democrats like myself for which there were trump aoc precincts or trump/democratic house or senate member precincts and that i think is a very rich environment for us to dig into. if you voted for donald trump and me or if you voted for donald trump and voted democratic down ballot, i would really love to hear from you. i actually want to learn from you. >> i mean we all do, to be honest. yeah. >> i'll tell you what i think it is. people are sick and tired of fake inauthentic politicians who can only operate off a script who are handed things by consultant whose every movement and facial expression is rehearsed and the thing trump and oac have in common is they both appear to be authentically speaki
