Tremendously talented person. She started off with us right from day one. She used to be in my real estate company. I said what do you know about politics, she said absolutely nothing, i said congratulations youre into the world of politics. Right . She knew nothing, and she was there the first day. And she was fantastic. And ill just say a couple of words. Shes really shy, but thats okay because she is really, really talented. Hope, say a couple. Hi. Merry christmas, everyone. And thank you, donald trump. Hope hicks began work at the white house as a staff member on the Communications Team whose most prominent member then was White House Press secretary sean spicer. Hope hicks as a unique position in the history now of the job of White House Communications director. She is the fourth Communications Director to serve in the first year of the trump white house. No other white house in history has burned through three Communications Directors in the first year and gone onto their fourth. And so hope hicks is the first, fourth Communications Director in the first year of a white house. And she would be the White House Communications director with the least experience in politics and government in the history of that job were it not for her immediate predecessor in the job, the unforgettable Anthony Scaramucci who lasted a total of 11 days in that position. But there is a huge asterisk on those 11 days, because Anthony Scaramucci had not taken a pay from those 11 days. We will have to leave all of that for the president ial historians to sort out. So hope hicks is the second least experienced White House Communications director in history, second only to Anthony Scaramucci. And is the youngest in white house history. We should shoal you more video of hope hicks speaking if we had any. But she avoids microphones more than jared kushner. She is in her position because she exhibits by all accounts the thing donald trump prizes most, loyalty. Donald trump obviously cares nothing about intelligence or wisdom or judgment or experience or knowledge of the workings of government. Loyalty is everything to donald trump. And hope hicks loyalty is being tested now more than it ever has been before. According the New York Times investigators working with special prosecutor Robert Mueller have interviewed hope hicks over the last two days. Yesterday and today. The New York Times is also reporting that earlier this year hope hicks was warned about russian operatives who were trying to make contact with her after she began working in the white house. The times reports according to former officials american intelligence and Law Enforcement agencies became alarmed by kbruktry emails that ms. Hicks received from russian addresses in the weeks after mr. Trumps election. After he took Office Senior fbi Counter Intelligence agents met with ms. Hicks in the white house situation room at least twice, gave her the names of the russians who had contacted her and said that they were not who they claimed to be. The fbi was concerned that the emails to ms. Hicks may have been part of a russian intelligence operation, and they urged ms. Hicks to be cautious. The fbis meetings with hope hic hicks in the early days of the Trump Administration is what the fbi calls a defensive briefing. According to the times, its intended to warn individuals about specific concerns or risks. The news of hope hicks meetings with the special prosecutor for the last two full days come exactly one week after Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi about conversations with the Russian Ambassador last december. Michael flynn famously led the lock her up chant at the Republican Convention last year, and tonight when the lock her up chant actually broke out again at Donald Trumps rally, he explained to his audience that Hillary Clinton was not locked up because the system is rigged. Look, its being proven we have a rigged system. It doesnt happen so easy, but this system going to be a lot of changes. This is rigged this is rigged system. This is sick system from the inside, and, you know, theres no country like our country. But we have a lot of sickness in some of our institutions, and were working very hard. Weve got a lot of them straightened out, but we really do. We have a rigged system in this country, and we have to change it. Terrible. Terrible. The special prosecutor now has at least two cooperating witnesses in addition to the possible cooperation being obtained over the last two days from hope hicks. Michael flynn is cooperating with the special prosecutor in exchange for his guilty plea deal. And former Trump CampaignForeign Policy advisor George Papadopoulos who has also pleaded guilty is also cooperating. In an interview with abc news, George Papadopoulos italian fiance says he was not a low level ignored player in the Trump Campaign as the trump team is now trying to describe him. He was constantly in touch with had high level officials in the campaign, and he never took any initiative as far as no unauthorized. Was he in touch with steve bannon . As far as i know, yes. I know steve bannon, Michael Flynn. He was in touch with Michael Flynn, general flynn . Yes as well. From the president of what you know, will the president be happy with the story george tells . I i dont i mean, i think its right to dismiss george as a coffee boy, so im sure not to be happy to read that. There are consistent evidence he was not a coffee boy. Today the special Prosecutors Office filed a status report. The prosecutor said the government issued 15 search and seizure warrants to obtain more than 400,000 documents including finance records, email communications and corporate records from Paul Manafort and his Business Partner rick gates. The prosecutor tim also possesses image copies of 36 Electronic Devices such as laptops and smart phones. Joining us now are joyce vance, a former u. S. Attorney, and also natasha bertram, Political Correspondent at business insider, and president of the center for american progress. I want to start with you. The lock her up chant broke out tonight quite spontaneously at the trump rally. The president didnt have to lead it. It just broke out because fans, that remains their favorite chant as much as build the wall. The president s explanation for why Hillary Clinton is not now locked up, what he said to his audience is simply because we have a rigged system and what he called sick system by which he meant the fbi and federal prosecutors, the justice department, the Obama Justice department who investigated Hillary Clintons email server. Look, i think we know exactly what donald trump is trying to do. And hes been doing this for weeks and months. Essentially hes basically trying to tell his supporters that whatever the fbi comes up with, whatever mueller comes up with is tainted. I think this is sign that he knows that they are going to find terrible things. You know, we already have evidence of direct collusion. The question is what is illegal. And so the fact that i mean one part of me thinks hes basically like daring the gods. When people go into lock her up chants, when he faces a special prosecutor, hes indicted multiple people from his administration and his campaign and could indict far, far more, i do think theres some karma there. But i think more importantly what hes really trying to do is to create a world in which if he is indicted himself republicans will feel like they cannot proceed. And i think thats very dangerous. Thats where america is going to meet the moment whether we have a true democracy or not. Joyce vance, theres so many legal points to this tonight including that revealed in the information filing about the manafort case and the evidence they have. I want to begin from your experience as a federal prosecutor, imagine for us what hope hicks last two days have been. She has spent two full days presumably talking directly to the prosecutors and or fbi agents. Who do you imagine it is from the mueller time who have been interviewing her for two full days . So we know from some of the earlier stories weve heard from witnesses that mueller actually runs teams in and out of these interviews. My guess is that these teams are probably aligned some of the different subject of the investigation. So you may have one team going in to look at a particular subject matter. Theyre showing hope hicks a series of documents, perhaps emails or other records asking her who created them, why, what the process was. It is a very detailed, very intensive and i suspect for her exhausting sort of an examination. Theyre building a meticilous case to look at what these records reveal, what her role was and perhaps most importantly, what she knows about the role others played in particular instances they are very interested in like the meeting in trump towers in june of 2016. And joyce, one more point. She comes from a wealthy family, connected family that can certainly afford a very good lawyering. We have to presume shes very well represented. Shes seen Michael Flynn before thooese two days of questioning started, shes seen Michael Flynn pleading guilty to lying to the fbi. I would imagine this is someone whos been advised to not take the slightest chance with anything that could be called lying to the fbi. I think youve got to be right about that, lawrence. We havent seen any indication that she has any criminal exposure of her own. That doesnt mean she doesnt have it, but it hasnt surfaced. And so the worst risk that she faces is lying to investigators about facts that they can easily prove. You have to assume that her lawyer has told her no matter who else you expose to criminal liability unless you yourself want to end up in jail, you need to be very careful to tell the truth. Natasha, i want to go to that experience hope hicks had with the fbi, presumably her First Experience with the fbi. Early in the administration when they came to her and sat her down in the situation room because they needed a secure room to have that discussion, where they tell her these people who are trying to contact you by email are not who they say they are, they point out that these are russian government contacts that are trying to make contact with her. How would the fbi have obtained that information . Well, they might have been monitoring the particular people that sent her these emails. And its a really big deal for the fbi to do this. They would have had to, you know, unmask essentially hope hicks as the american recipient of these emails and then actually go to her and tell her, look, these people who are emailing you are not actually who they say they are. This is not something the fbi does every day. Quite rare actually. The first is they were potentially trying to place her in a position where she was compromised so she would ultimately down the road have to keep her mouth shut about some kind of russian connection that maybe she had been aware of on the campaign. The second was that they were trying to reach out to her so they could specifically get to donald trump. Because as we know hope hicks was a liaison for donald trump ever since she really came onto the campaign. Donald trump doesnt really use emails, so it was really hope hicks job to field all the emails and get him the information he needed to know. Can i make one point about hope hicks, lawrence . Shes also been part of the communications that has responded to lot of these issues. Lets just remember when the initial story broke about the emails from russians about that meeting at trump tower, emails from russians saying that the russian government wants to help, there were multiple answers by the white house. Hope hicks as we understand it was part of that response. So when youre in communications in a white house thats being investigated, they have the ability to ask you about the original cases, but they actually also can ask you about the coverup or the presumed answers. As youll recall the white house put out multiple answers for that. Then they finally let out there were emails of russians trying to help. So i think the challenge for the white house is that they have a person here who actually knows about original facts and, you know, what may well look like the coverup of original facts. And yois, when you hear that, when you hear about hope hicks role, of someone who doesnt use email himself, therefore he has to have an intermediary on all email communications, thats the kind of person that becomes invaluable in an investigation. Because thats someone who is not exposed to the criminal liabilities of what the president might have said in an email but can tell you how that email happened and how it was composed. She absolutely looks like a key witness. Someone who can tell the whole story, who can explain it, who can talk about the president s reaction, who he was discussing these issues with. She really could be the crown jewel in this investigation. And natasha, that filing, that evidentiary filing in the manafort case today at minimum is alerting people outside of the manafort case, other potential defends, subjects of the investigation, heres whats coming your way, heres how much were going to get on you. Absolutely. There were dozens of search warrants that were issued in that filing. And also another aspect of what he released today was quite interesting. It actually undermined manaforts argument that he really had not had any role in this oped. That hed been writing at late as november 30th with this russian. He released all the red track changes manafort actually made in these documents, showing he played a direct role and therefore violated a court order. So manafort right now is probably not feeling great. Hes going to remain on house arrest and gps monitoring for the foreseeable future is the likely scenario. And of course associates who have surrounded him also have be pretty worried right now. Natasha, thank you for joining us. Coming up, President Trump gave his full, clear loud endorsement to the accused child molester roy moore at a rally tonight campaignstyle rally. And that is one of the reasons that the president s Approval Rating has hit an alltime low. Each day justin chooses to walk. At work. And after work. He does it all with dr. Scholls. Only dr. Scholls has massaging gel insoles that provide allday comfort. To keep him feeling more energized. Dr. Scholls. Born to move. So how old do you want uhh, i was thinking around 70. Alright, and before that . You mean after that . No, im talking before that. Do you have things you want to do before you retire . Oh yeah sure. Ok, like what . But i thought we were supposed to be talking about investing for retirement . Were absolutely doing that. But theres no law you cant make the most of today. What do you want to do . Id really like to run with the bulls. Wow. Yea. Hope youre fast. I am. Get a portfolio that works for you now and as your needs change. Investment Management Services from td ameritrade. When food is good and clean and real, its ok to crave. And with panera catering, theres more to go around. Panera. Food as it should be. Tonight a selfconfessed sexual assaulter campaigned for an accused child molester. Get out and vote for roy moore. Do it. Do it. Stand up republican antitrump nonprofit created by Edward Mcmullen who ran against trump as an independent last year has committed 500,000 to an adbuy in alabama to defeat roy moore. What if she was your little girl, your daughter, your sister. What if she was 15 years old or 16 or even 14, would your let a 32yearold man touch her, have her touch him . Thats what roy moore did. He called it dating. We call it unacceptable. Thats why we cant support roy moore. And here is how the president made the case for the accused child molester tonight in a rally just across the border from alabama in pensacola, florida. We cannot afford, this country, the future of the this country cannot afford to lose a seat in the very, very close United States senate. We cant afford it, folks, we cant. We cant afford to have a liberal democrat who is completely controlled by nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. We cant do it. His name is jones, and hes their total puppet. And Everybody Knows it. He will never, ever vote for us. We need somebody in that senate seat who will vote for our make America Great again agenda. Join us now where a former Foreign Policy advisor for the mccain, rubio president ial campaigns. Joyce, i want to call on your alabama political experience. What do you think will boo the effect of the president campaigning for roy moore tonight . The president is tremendously popular in alabama. Hes in pensacola, which the mobile and South Alabama market. Moore needs to drive voters and support in that region. One things that this visit will be effective. And max, your reaction to what you saw tonight. Well, lawrence, i have to admit to being mistaken. Because i thought that had Republican Party had gone as low as it could possibly go last career when it supported for the presidency this prorussian conspiracy theorist. President trump is now endorsing this accused child molester wholeheartedly for the senate in alabama. By the way, not only is roy moore an accused child molester but lets remember he is also racist, bigoted, swreenphobe, and by the way hes also antiamerican. Because he was quoted in an interview saying he agreed with Vladimir Putin that americas the focus of evil in the world. And if thats not enough when he was asked when america was last great, he cited the time of slavery. So, yes, he is nostalgic for slavery. This is like a caricature of a far right extremist, and this is who donald trump is endorsing for the senate in alabama and dragging the Republican Party along with him. I mean this is the complete this is the distinct of the this one great Republican Party into complete darkness, into complete moral oblivion. And of course the democratic candidate is doug jones. He was the former prosecutor who obtained convictions in the bombing of the Baptist Church in birmingham, alabama in which four black girls were killed. Sis what doug jones said this week to distinguish himself from roy moore. I damn sure believe that i have done my part to ensure that men who hurt little girls should go to jail and not the United States senate. Joyce vance, how does that play in alabama . It plays extremely well. You know, jones is a middle of the road democrat. Hes progun. Hes got a strong background in Law Enforcement as a u. S. Attorney. So when he makes these kinds of statements, i think he becomes very palatable to middle of the road conservatives or frankly to people who rejected moore long ago not because of these new allegations of child abuse but because he ignored the rule of law, twice removed as state Supreme Court justice. Jones really solidifies his support with people who care about the rule of law with this type of a reference. And max, you made reference to roy moores thoughts of how much Better Things were during the days of slavery. In an answer to a question of what donald trump means about make America Great again, Roy Moore Associated that thinking with donald trump. Explaining that donald trump means back in the days of slavery. Lets listen to exactly how he did that. What does trump mean . What does he mean, make it great again . I think it was great at a time when families were united, even though we had slavery, they cared for one another. People were strong in the families. Our families were strong, our country had a direction. And we corrected many of the problems. So max, anyone who is thinking that donald trump when he said make America Great again meant take us back to, oh, say the segregation of the 1950s, its much worse than that. And according to roy moore he inprts it as take us back to the days of slavery. Hes like this modern day omar gantry who is a massive hypocrite, predator, bigot. I mean every vile characteristic that any human being could have, roy moore seems to combine them in one form. And for anybody who thought the Republican Party couldnt go any lower than trump, roy moore his reputation is there is absolutely no bottom to their distinct into the moral darkness. And thats why i think i say this having been a lifelong republican. I think the Republican Party cannot cease to exist in its present form. We new a new central right party. Its not just donald trump or roy moore. Its all the people who hold their noses and go along with it. Im sorry. There is no party that can command one to support a child molester. Its unethical, immoral. Its so fragrantly wrong. Its so offensive, so obscene. There are no words to describe this. Thank you both for joining us tonight. Really appreciate it.

The resistance to President Trump is getting stronger. A new poll from the Pew Research Center shows President Trumps disproval number is at a new high, an alltime high of 63 . And at 32 , his Approval Rating is the lowest of any president at the end of his first year since before ronald reagan. Donald trumps approval has fallen or stayed the same among every single demographic in the polls since he took office including republicans, whites, those over age 50 and white evangelicals whose approval of the president has actually fallen by 17 points. Tonight the president went to pensacola, florida, to find that minority of americans who approve of what he says hes doing. And of course he mocked the vast majority of americans who would never consider going to a trump rally. But they call themselves the resistance. You ever see these signs, resist, resist . But you know what theyre really resisting . Theyre resisting the will of the american people. Thats what theyre resisting. Joining us now sam seder, host of the majority report radio show and an msnbc contributor and back with us neera danden. These numbers are extraordinary. And when donald trump gets himself into one of those rally audiences, he gets to pretend that thats the majority. He let them know he won in a landslide in the last election, which is pretty impressive because i think hes the only one who knows that. The poll numbers are dropping broadly speaking, but it isnt dropping quite as fast. Theyre basically creating a situation between a rock and a hard place with donald trump. Because the congressional caucuses and his representative, they cant abandoned him. Hes a lead balloon for them at this point. Its fascinating to see how big that drop is with evangelicals. What he has not done which i think has been obvious to all of us is since the election he has not converted any person who hasnt voted for donald trump, no ones been converted to donald trump which is the business youre in when you come in second in the vote, which is what he did in that campaign. And all hes done is lose support. What i thought is interesting, youre absolutely right he lost support. Other polls have shown hes losing white noncollege women. His Health Care Plan is unpopular. I think its interesting how he is increasingly talking about the resistance. And tonight he talked about how the resistance is, fighting the will of the american people. The truth is donald trump in everything he does fights the will of the american people. Every almost every policy put forward has been majority opposition, health care, the tax bill, his future plan, his Foreign Policy is engendering opposition. I hope he runs against the resistance. The resistance is made up of americans from all walks of life who want their country back, who oppose Donald Trumps agenda, who supports a democracy that involves everyone. Jow see your president endorsing an alleged child molester and says that is not the america i want to be part of. The president tonight told his adoring crowd that he has done more to cut regulations than any president since Abraham Lincoln. This is the first time ive heard Abraham Lincoln referred to in the regulation speech. Lets listen to this bit. In ten months ive done more on knocking out regulations than any other president in our history. You know who was right up there . Honest abe lincoln. Can you believe it . He was a regulation gutter, can you believe it . Abe lincoln was a regulation cutter. Who would have known that . I said you mean i beat Abraham Lincoln . I said thats pretty good. I dont know if regulation sounds so glamorous, but i can tell you its very important. So heres a regulation that abrahamlengthen did not get rid of. This is the regulation that requires airlines to show you exactly what the baggage fee is going to be when youre buying a ticket. Abraham lincoln did not get rid of that regulation. Donald trump did, but he forgot to mention it. To the people in his audience tonight who really actually care about what the baggage fees are. Thats right. Theres a whole host of Airline Regulations that Abraham Lincoln look, theres a whole host of regulations donald trump has attacked. But i think were going to start to see the implications of those. People are going to be paying more for their baggage fees. People are going to start seeing their air is little bit more polluted. Were going to see a series of these. And none of these regulations benefit the american public. Were also seeing fees in privatization of federal parks. He may be in the lead there. But i dont think these are things that people necessarily want to hear. I think theres a lot of people in that audience who hear some buzz words and become sort of a function of identity politics that get checked off. But when the rubber meet the road, when the baggage is checked in, i think people are going to start realizing theres a problem here. And when people end up paying the baggage fees and discover what they are, they will never know it was donald trump who decided to mask those fees as long as they could be masked in the ticket buying process. I mean this is what the beauty of fake news is for donald trump. Theputy of fake news for him, which he is hes the perpetrator of fake news. You know, he has a tax plan that hurts the people, the working class people who just voted for him and lowers taxes and raises taxes on working class people, cuts taxes for billionaires. He calls it a middle class tax cut. He calls it that over and over again. Now, a majority of americans see through that lie and recognize thats a fake. But the sad thing is facts and the folks in his audience are going to see a tax increase listen to him. I think at some point they will actually more and more of them, women perhaps faster than men, are going to see that whats really happened here is a giant baiting switch. He says hes a guy for the working class, but he has an agenda of the robert barrens. And thats what were facing. Thank you very much. Really great to have you.

After democratic congressman and heroic civil rights leader john lewis and others vowed to boycott the opening of the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum tomorrow because President Trump was invited the white house now says the president will participate in a private event before the public ceremony. On tuesday the white house announced the president accepted an invitation from mississippis republican governor, phil bryant, to attend the states Civil Rights Museums Opening Ceremony. Thursday john lewis and ben thomas said they would not be attending say President Trumps attendance and his policy are an insult. We encourage all mississippiens and americans to visit this historic Civil Rights Museum after the president departs. He was arrested for using a whites only rest room at a bus station. According to atlantic article he expressed doubts of whether i could live with myself if he appeared on the same program. There is an endless stream of examples of how donald trump throughout his life has offended john lewis and benny pompson over the years, but heres just one example of the president equating white sumemicists to the people who protest against White Supremacists and racists and nazis. We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides. On many sides. I think theres blame on both sides. You look at both sides, i think theres blame on both sides. I have no doubt about it. And you dont have any doubt about it either. Today the Mississippi Department of archives and history and the white house agreed to have a private event tomorrow morning where the president will speak. He will also tour the museum. The public Opening Ceremony will be held afterwards. Mike, a former mississippi congressman who served on the States Committee to establish the museum told nbc news, i think was a diplomatic effort that will help solve this issue. Civil rights activist and historian Mark Thompson will join us next. Fibromyalgia is thought to be caused by overactive nerves. Lyrica is believed to calm these nerves.

Old shut down cold symptoms fast with maximum strength alka seltzer plus liquid gels. If an american Civil Rights Museum were to include an exhibit on the ongoing curse of racism in america it would include the racist lie that donald trump used to launch his political career. Three weeks ago i thought he was born in this country. Right now i have some real doubts. I have people who have actually been studying and they cant believe what theyre finding. You have people down searching in hawaii . Absolutely. And they cant believe what theyre finding. A long time civil rights activist and amateur civil rights historian, mark. Mark, its stunning to me this guy would have been invited in the first place. It is absolutely absurd. Its insulting to everyone. The naacp spoke out, john lewis, Bennie Thompson. I had the museum of africanamerican history and culture and we talked about it. You know, when people build these institutions to tell the true stories and history of america, theres no point in having someone there who continues to want to take us back to the bad parts of our history and endorse someone like roy moore who says america was great when there was slavery. So this is despicable. And obviously the message was received he should not be there. And ive always noticed that the politicians who are who are actively going after the racist vote always try to make it acceptable by doing things wherever they can to let that voter say, oh, see, Donald Trumps not a racist. Hes not a racist and this is what they would use as their evidence of that donald trump is not a racist. Look, he went to the museum. Right. And its dishonest, its false. Thats fake news, honestly. And obviously hes flailing. Any distraction from whats going on with the investigation is what hes seeking. But since you call him an amateur historian, if i could try to draw a historical analogy. So go to mississippi where they are going to have an exhibit, obviously, about emmett till, an incident that brought about the modern day civil rights movement, what donald trump did with central park five was very similar. A white woman accused emma tett till and he was lynched. The central park five committed a rape and he called for their execution. If donald trump had been aflound 1955 in mississippi, he would have advocated for the lynching of emmett till. But whats interesting when several women say roy moore has molested them or when over a dozen women say that donald trump has been inappropriate with them, its not believable. But if the black man is the one whos accused, then he believes and calls for their lynching. So that in and of itself, going to mississippi, at a civil rights event is blasphemous for donald trump to be there. And we have david duke tweeting through donald trump after his comments about charlottesville where he equatesed the opposition to white supreme ichts. Thank you for your honesty to condemn the leftist and black lives matter. This is someone who has the support of david duke, has the support of ku klux klan. And the republican governor of mississippi would say this is the man we want at an opening of a Civil Rights Museum shows you just how much respect the governor of mississippi has for this museum. It shows, again, this is truly appalling. And i agree with john lewis, i agree with Bennie Thompson and anyone else who feels he shouldnt be there. I commend those who have built this museum and are trying to tell this story. But by all means, donald trump does not belong there. He is carrying out in a modern die fo day form. Hes not making America Great again, hes making america hate again. And tonight hes saying making America Great means take us become to the time slavery. Yeah. This is a frightening time. I really wonder what the reset button is going to be, because theyve pushed people so far away from us having a unified country, people being more tolerant, people being more imbration of diversity. If we dont bring in back were going to be in serious trouble. And frankly i think that adds to the list articles against him. He is dividing the nation. I heard you play earlier hes invoking Abraham Lincoln. He was struggling to unify the nation. If donald trump hes the opposite. Hes trying to keep the nation as divided as possible. And hes got to go. Mark thompson, thank you very much for being with us. Thank you. Really appreciate it. Tonights last word is next. I love you, basement guest bathroom.
