including our earlier guest, senator raphael warnock.rtionately affected but this public health crisis. following that discussion, i got the opportunity to slip them with two of the panelists, rapper and now gun safety advocate, quavo, as well as greg jackson, now the new deputy director of the account violence prevention office. both have powerful personal stories about gun tragedies that impacted their lives and inspire us to work. >> i feel like i'm turning this negative right now into a positive. i'm turning his loss into a win. in order to do that, i've got to stand up. >> standing up and turning pain into power. a key message that was amplified through the stories of grammy nominated rapper and now gun violence prevention advocate, quavo. along with community texas fund executive director, greg jackson. both men suffered from traumatic experiences that are all too common in our country. quavo witnessed the murder of his nephew, takeoff, in november of last year. takeoff was a fellow member of the rap group migos and his tragic deat

raphael warnock, who is raphael warnock, who was the first african-american senator from the state of georgia. he has two publications, one being a way out of no way is a memoir of experience from savannah all the way to the senate and a wonderful children's book he read to a small of children immediately following worship service, we recorded that reading that we hope that these young will be able to look back and say they had the first afro in american senator from to read a children's to them and that book is a wonderful story that shares the experience of dr. as a child all the way up to being in as senator and get ready put your shoes on as they're ready to get ready to put your shoes in your shoes. all and get ready put your shoes on and get ready. and it's some beautiful art, wonderful story. so we are delighted that you are with we're going to have a word of prayer and then we're going to begin our conversation. we do this book note series. we've been doing it throughout the pandemic, talking to different authors and having conversation about their work and it exploded here at

and now if you don't mind, we're going to get to the news democratic senator raphael warnock is projected republican candidate herschel walker in the georgia senate runoff race and if you think you're relieved, imagine how relieved herschel walker is [ laughter ] he just narrowly avoided a six-year long pop quiz he did not study for. [ laughter ] that's right cnn last night projected that georgia senator raphael warnock will win reelection. and then herschel walker picked up an iron to call and concede [ laughter ] the trump organization was found guilty yesterday in a new york court for criminal tax fraud trump will be sentenced to four years as president [ laughter ] that's right a manhattan jury yesterday found former president trump's company guilty of orchestrating a 15-year criminal tax fraud scheme though it succeeded -- though -- [ laughter ] always something wrong with the syntax of the joke for me it was written fine. let's do it one more time. sorry, baze. you know what the worst thing is our head writer is allowed to fire me. [ laughter ] that's right, a manhattan jury yesterd

senate election tonight's incumbent democrat raphael warnock. >> and after these georgia republicans, like governor brian kemp, and secretary of state brad raffensperger, refused to help trump pull off is coup in 2020, he did what he always does. the same thing we saw him bragging about in the videos. he vowed vengeance and retribution. in this case, he did it by endorsing challenges to both men. former senator david perdue, the one who lost in 2020, no small part because of trump, he ran against incumbent republican governor brian kemp in the primary. he lost by a whopping 52 points. look at that. that's like a saddam hussein and iraq kind of election. former georgia congressman jody hice, who declined to run again, so he could go in primary secretary brad raffensperger was also a big enemy of trump, in trump's view, lost by a still whopping vote, less comical, of 19 points. so people like kemp and raffensperger are is in this unique position. they don't have anything to fear, politically, from donald trump. the implicit threat that he encouraged he controls his base, if you don't do

in the democrats direction down the ticket line georgia kind of swung back the big outlier is raphael warnocke u.s. senator and enough marginal voters in georgia were aware of that to give warnock the advantage the first time around. we'll see if that holds tonight. >> seth: it will be an interesting night as we see those come in. you talk about is the impact of donald trump and the republican party waning it definitely seems like things are not going as well as they have in the past, obviously. but i still don't see how he doesn't have a massive amount of control over the republican party because of his base. >> oh, he definitely has a massive amount of control. i mean, i think two things are true one is that he is still the de facto leader of the party. two, as politically weak as he's been basically since he down the escalator in 2015. you know, i think if the last five years - >> seth: it is funny that that's a true thing but also really funny. [ laughter ] everybody was like, "wait, what?" but that's what he did that's what he did it's so funny, too, instead of like elevating to meet us,

the strike is now almost four months old, and talks raphael warnock v -- broke off in mid august. talk shows that have been airing new episodes. the writers went on strike back in may, demanding better pay and a change to the compensation structure as the industry moves toward a streaming model and away from traditional broadcasting. the actors guild went on strike two months later over many of the same issues, but they also want an agreement that protects actors against some of the uses of artificial intelligence in film and television. i'm going to bring in michael jammon, a television writer and show runner wh. good to see you, michael. are you more optimistic today that perhaps negotiations can get under way and there could be some sort of deal struck? >> as a professional writer, i'm trained not to be optimistic about anything. we get our hopes up all the time. i hope we can get a much better offer from the studios, because we all want to get to work. i'm in my garage now. i want to be back at work. >> what are a lot of writers doing right now to make ends meet to pay the bil

election we still don't know the result of is in georgia, where there's a senate runoff between raphael warnock herschel walker. yesterday at a campaign rally, walker took a swing at what, to his understanding, is the green new deal. >> if we was ready for the green agenda, i'd raise my hand right now, but we're not ready right now. so don't let them fool you like this is a new agenda. this is not a new agenda. we're not prepared. we're not ready right now. what we need to do is keep having those gas-guzzling cars 'cause we got the good emissions out of those cars. >> stephen: yes, we've got good emissions out of those cars, and he oughta know, 'cause it really sounds like he's been huffing them. now, it should go without saying. based on a true story. joke is based on a true story. it should go without saying that herschel's statement, whatever that was, contradicts the scientific consensus on greenhouse gases. if we don't cut back on our emissions, we're not going to be able to look our children in the eye. and if you're herschel walker, that doesn't leave you with many places to look. he's t

and democratic georgia senator raphael warnock says the bill is deeply troubling. cool. does this so-called? >> safer banking bill actually make safer? >> certainly not the millions of americans locked up for nonviolent drug offenses. schumer promises to bring the bill up for a vote soon in the senate where it will face some opposition. nothing and legislation is easy. the bill also faces a tough battle in the republican controlled house in washington. alexandra limon. >> a man wrongfully convicted of robbery, kidnapping and assault is now free after spending 28 years in prison. no physical evidence ever connected to bartow asked to those crimes when he was 18 years old. he was arrested near los angeles after matching the description of the suspect in 1995. after repeatedly denying his involvement. he says he confessed when a detective promise that he would get probation. he never gave up, though, fighting to prove his innocence. mister so i commend >> for your incredible strength and siblings, your unwavering determination to prove your innocence in the face of module d

provisions of rule one, paragraph three of the rules of the senate i hereby appoint the honorable raphael warnock. the presiding officer: under the previous order, leadership time is reserved, under the previous order, the senate will proceed to executive session to resume consideration of the following nomination which the clerk will report. the clerk: vernon d. oliver to be united states district judge for the district of connecticut. test: mr. schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. schumer: now, mr. president, we're days away from another maga government shutdown. avoiding one will require the house majority to quickly accept a bipartisan solution. yet, this week house republicans are trying everything but bipartisanship. everyone knows that the gop's proposed c.r. is a nonstarter here in the senate. let me say that again. everyone knows that the house gop's proposed c.r. will not pass the senate. because, instead of even pretending to aim for bipartisanship, this bill has zero, zero, democratic input. it calls for a crushing 8% cut to virtually all nondefense

senator, reverend raphael warnock.e, what prompted to you to choose this particular theme at this particular time? >> well, last year, robert said to me, the splc in the church in the spiritual aspect of nonviolence was very prevalent in that period. and where is it now. let's take an assessment of where the church is now. and the progress of the movement through that faith-based activism. that's what prompted it. it caused us to look to the two of you, you two gentlemen, to be our award winners. along with some of the programming will be doing this year. >> one thing i keep thinking about, even the footsoldiers of the movement or increasingly passing away, late congressman john lewis, who you mentioned. every day, they were part of growing more distant by the day. yet the struggles they faced have not abated. but rather they've evolved. and new generations are now contending with those modern civil rights challenges. how is the festival trying to bridge the gap between the past in the future of our struggle for freedo

i might want them to die [ laughter ] georgia senator raphael warnock's campaign yesterday premieredideo that features republican challenger herschel walker's former teacher which is brave, because i can't imagine having to tell people that you taught herschel walker everything he knows. [ laughter ] republican senator ted cruz posted a picture yesterday with former democratic presidential hopeful andrew yang. though if he's hanging out with ted cruz, i can guarantee he is no longer democratic or hopeful. [ laughter ] according to a new study, long covid can cause significant brain changes, but you think the fake news media would ever report on that, you liberal cucks? [ laughter ] sorry. that was weird i don't know - [ laughter ] iowa senator chuck grassley posted a photo yesterday of his vacuum cleaner and said, quote, "thanksgiving has arrived. so i guess the only mystery is, which of those things he meant to do.

senate candidate herschel walker finished second and will head to a runoff against incumbent raphael warnocker is not helping himself, as evidenced by this incredibly bizarre and completely real clip from a rally yesterday, where walker told an inscrutable story about watching a movie about vampires and werewolves on tv see if you can follow -- best of luck to you -- any of this >> you ever watch a stupid movie late at night hoping it going to get better, it don't get better but you keep watching it anyway? because the other night -- the other night, i was watching this movie. i was watching this movie called "fright night," "freak night," or some kind of night, but it was about vampires i don't know if you know vampires some cool people, are they not but i'm going to tell you something that i found out a werewolf can kill a vampire. did you know that? i never knew that. so i didn't want to be a vampire anymore. i wanted to be a werewolf. but then anyway, as i'm watching this movie -- and let me tell you how stupid it is because it's 1:00 in the morning so i'm watching my tv are these kids w

run for re-election, but a promising but relatively untested character like gretchen whitner or raphael warnockthink you stick with that bet. >> martha: there's a lot to unpack, but it's at the center of this. it's the economy which has been his central message. >> that's right, and i think alex hit the nail on the head. it's the fact they spent the summer touting this message and at the end of the day, despite strong indicators they can point to you such as low unemployment, people aren't feeling that, and the things for which the president and the white house feel they should be getting the credit for should carry over into stronger polling numbers as he seeks re-election, he's not getting that credit, and if you a talk to people up and down the age bracket, when you talk about if he is in check with what the american people are thinking and feeling, the messaging is not working as well as they had hoped. >> martha: and donna, we've also got this striking autoworkers. president biden will go out and join the picket line. pete buttigieg, you know, said he's just siding with the workers, but hi

more than ever before. [ laughter ] down in georgia, herschel is gearing up for his run-off with raphael warnock he's doing it by tackling the issues voters believe matter most. >> the other night, i was watching this movie called "fright night," "freak night," some kind of night. it was about vampires. i don't know if you knew vampires are cool people. let me tell you something i found out. a werewolf can kill a vampire, do you know that? >> jimmy: senator, your time is expired. [ laughter ] he did not know that. did you know that? >> guillermo: no, i didn't. >> jimmy: we learned something, thanks, herschel. we've got a great show for you tonight. kumail nanjiani is with us. and pink is here tonight. [ cheers and applause ] pink is an exceptionally talented person, one of the most talented people in all of music. tonight she's going to allow us to put that talent to the test. it's time now to "wing it and sing it." [ cheers and applause ] hello! how are you? >> i'm terrified. >> jimmy: don't be frightened. hello, jeff. hi, pink. [ cheers and applause ] this is pink, everybody. you said you're f

and one area i went to, and lot of people voted for joe biden who voted for raphael warnock in the senateace, polls or voted republican brian kemp for governor. they are looking for normal republicans. and if they aren't there, they are going to try. democrat >> interesting. the point you made, i want deliver on this for a moment. it's something i'm sort of obsessed with. with for as long as i've covered politics, they believe is, higher turnout helps democrats. right? democrats have a higher percentage of lower prince dividers. they have a hard time turning folks. out the republicans have higher propensity voters. the ones that show up for midterms, that's when you get money for, that's where you've got to doesn't end. the changing nature of the coalitions is changing that. and we're seeing it in these special elections. i also think interesting because you could to this point we've got an interesting tension between once principles and what might. based in pennsylvania, josh shapiro just introduced automatic voter registration. i think that's great. i support that. i want people to. vot

things, whether werewolves were cooler than vampires but let's not forget how good a candidate raphael warnockan, over the course of two years, he's had to run twice in a general election and then, twice in a runoff election and he's come out on top every time he had to run four campaigns just to finally get the job full-time. that's insane. i once got asked to audition a fourth time for a movie, and i told the director to [ bleep ] off. and that -- that is the only reason why tom cruise was in "maverick. [ laughter and applause also, i don't have a "need for speed," i just like -- i mean, i prefer it. [ laughter ] i don't like obsess over it. oh i've got to be first there - just anyway. nonetheless, republicans very much expected to win given the state's gop governor won by eight points not to mention that incumbent presidents almost always lose seats in midterms. so now, republicans are pointing fingers at each other and coming up with truly ludicrous reasons why they lost. congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, for example, thinks walker lost because she wasn't asked to campaign for him more
