always for your time. you are reminding us of our shared humanity. that is our show for tonight. now it is time for the last word with ali velshi in for lawrence. good evening, ali. in fo i just came back from seeing my folks in canada. i have housing issues because all of the immigrants coming to canada. the mayors and places like toronto and vancouver are putting in restrictions on how you can buy a place or live in a place if you re not a citizen. and people are complaining about it, not about the immigrants, are complaining about making it hard for immigrants to get into the country because canadians figured out a long time ago that this is what you need to run a country. we have low unemployment and we need people in this country, and it s completely different view than most americans have of immigration, as you were just talking about. we just need to rethink how we think about. it didn t have greg abbott and 25 other republican governors striking fear in calling fo
look, i think it s highly unlikely donald trump has ever read mine comp. they attack what he said, but if you come back to the root of the issue, it s what a lot of american people agree with him on. remember when trump s first wife said he kept a book of hitler s speeches by his bedside? now he s echoing nazi rhetoric, and as unusual, republican politicians are coming to his defense. also, new reporting on justice clarence thomas, and his quest to live like the jones while serve on the court, which could go a long way to explain why he allowed his wealthy friends to give him such lavish, lavish gifts. and fresh off their 148 million dollar court victory over rudy giuliani, the women he defamed, ruby freeman and shaye moss, are now filing a new lawsuit against rudy. but we begin tonight with the phrase, poisoning the blood of our country. if it sounds like nazi talk, it s because it is. in chapter 11 of adolf hitler s fascist manifesto he writes, all great culture
december 16th, i m ali velshi. we begin this morning with a justice served. a pair of election workers were terrorized by don trump supporters. yesterdaya ry awarded ruby freeman and shaye moss a total of 100 and $48 million in damages as a result of their civil this defamation lawsuit against really giuliani who repeatedly and falsely accused him of carrying out a elaborate election fraud scheme without producing a shred of evidence that could withstand scrutiny. the verdict is a new low for giuliani, who rose up the ranks of new york politics early in his career, but has been on a downward spiral for the better part of the past two decades. he s gone from being americas mere to a codefendant indicted alongside his longtime pal donald trump in fulton county s sprawling r.i.c.o. case. on top of, that giuliani faces a number of other lou legal troubles. yesterday wondered 48 million-dollar verdict pulsing comparison to the 1.3 billion dollars that dominion voting systems to s
a jury orders rudy giuliani to pay nearly 100 and $50 million to the georgia election workers he defamed in the aftermath of the 2020 election. the attorney for ruby freeman and shaye moss is gonna join me alive. plus, the four times indicted republican front runner is once again echoing the anti immigrant language of adolf hitler. but house republicans seem much more concerned about their feckless impeachment inquiry into president biden. i ll ask congressman about all of it. also today, as kate cox fleas texas to get an abortion, ted cruz fleeced from reporters when he s asked about her story. this isn t a messaging problem, it s a policy problem. later, my conversation with the families of hostages taken captive by hamas. i ll ask them about their meeting with president biden this week, their frustrations and how they find hope during the most difficult moment of their lives. ever since donald trump entered the political spotlight years ago, it s kind of seemed lik
