supported by the caucus. >> i don't think there's a doubt we can do it. people need to be open to compromise. and i think if we compromise like we did in the bipartisan infrastructure bill that argued and fought and came to a bill that would work i think it's the same thing within the 50 democrats, too. >> this bill is the biggest cost cutting family for working class and american families in decades this country and go at persistent costs for the american people. >> i will talk to congresswoman alma adams. plus suddenly on the front lines of a battle. librarians finding the once very quiet world turned upside down by the right wing movement to ban book just an iowa librarian felt she had to quit. all that and more on the breaking news with that missing chinese tennis player. olympics officials said they would talked to her. we want to begin with conservatives speaking out to defend the 18-year-old's acquittal in the fatal shooting of two men in kenosha, wisconsin, last year. take a listen to republican jim jordan on fox news. >> if this wasn't self defense tell me what self defense looks like. we know the facts. due process won. the second amendment won. this was a good day for the country that the jurors were willing to do this in the right way and follow the truth and the law. this is a win for america and our great system. >> jordan said it's a win for the system. an article said it's designed to protect white conservatives who kill and encouraging white vigilantes like rittenhouse to police all places by all means. we heard this from madison hawthorne in a tweet praising the verdict of the kyle rittenhouse trial. talk me through how you see this encouraging white vigilantes. >> sure. thank you so much for having me, yasmin. the point of the piece to say from the moment kyle rittenhouse emerged in the public eye he was granted deference. he was welcomed by the police arriving. after he killed people at the protest the trump administration deferred to the excuse saying he was defending property rights. when the trial began the judge declined to allow the prosecution to call kyle rittenhouse's victims victims and then ultimately the results, a court, a jury affirmed the conservative warped imagination which says that progressive spaces are vie lint place and need to be policed by the police or anyone willing to stand in their way. >> you talked about an acquittal in the making. the case had the makings of an acquittal before the trial began. he is a white teen who abides by white rules and people and seemed poised to insulate him from repercussions. what benefited kyle here in the trial not only from the jury to the judge's behavior? >> sure. we know that in the conservative imagination progressive spaces are violent and need to be policed and so that's why he was granted deference by the jury when they ruled in his favor and it encourages other people of rittenhouse's ilk to say i see these spaces as violent ones. i need to put myself in the position to defend whether property rights or the people who are there in place of the police whose job it is to protect these people and i'll stand in their stead and carry on the obligations that they have and dangerous going forward for all progressive spaces and i wanted to say that a lot of people took exception to the fact i made this racial. they said i made this racial. despite the fact the victims are white and the suspect in this case is white we know there's a vast history of white allies to pro black causes being targeted with scorn and violence by other white people and that i think is a discouragement is that other people who might want to stand in lockstep with black and brown people will be discouraged because they don't want to walk into the violence that kyle rittenhouse's victims did. >> stand by. i want to bring in erin haynes. also rick wilson. erin, i just want you to point out to us what the big oes irses were with this trial. was it the justice system? the growing white conservative arm of the country right now? is it both? what is it? >> yeah. i think that on the other side of the verdict what you have is a lot of americans wondering what are the rules and to who will they apply? he is right that race was absolutely a part of this even though the race of everyone involved in the case is white. there is a question about the second amendment. who's allowed to stand their ground? even you have to think about the climate in which the shootings happened in kenosha with kyle rittenhouse opening fire at this protest. these were people gathering to protest police treatment of communities of color by police. right? these protests part of happening in cities i cross the country last summer. the overwhelming majority, a harvard study found they're peaceful and the narrative in conservative media is that they're rife with violence and a need for people like kyle rittenhouse to show up in cities where they were not from armed to do what they felt that law enforcement was not in that case and encouraged by the then commander in chief. i think now on the other side of the verdict the activists that i hear from questioning what kind of message this sends to folks as people may continue to try to peacefully protest. what can they expect to the extent of violence and looting and also folks that came to these protests not interest in the peaceful protest aspect but there to cause trouble and some of those people were folks like kyle rittenhouse. >> let's read for you from "boston globe" op-ed. on the benefit of boyhood. white boyhood is an armor that inspired judge schroeder to ban prosecutors from tying rittenhouse to the proud boy just a loophole allowed him to toss a weapons charge before closing arguments began. legally armed black folk don't get this grace. >> yeah. and even black folk who are not armed, right, but you think about 12-year-old tamir rice with a toy gun without a benefit of the doubt is dead. you think about breonna taylor in her castle, her home, gunned down by police. filando castill in minnesota who lost his life after trying -- even after identifying himself as a lawful gun owner. there does seem to be -- there's a double standard in this country with race, when it comes to gun ownership, who is allowed to be a vigilante, who's allowed -- who's seen as a victim. right? who's allowed to be called a victim. race is absolutely at the center of this and that's why the reckoning that happened last summer is very much still underway on both sides in this country. >> there's also another part of this conversation whereas is this verdict going to empower other right wing vigilantes? seems like it has, empowering folks like the proud boys attached to january 6. actually the proud boys came to warnd on january 6, 2021, to patrol the perimeter of the places of the crowds to defend vulnerable demonstrators from attacks against antifa. that was zachary rails' defense attorney. a member of the proud boys. it is already happening, rick. it seems like we're not hearing rick. we are having an issue with the audio. rick, we got you? still not hearing you. he may have to unmute the audio. >> i think i'm back. sorry. >> go ahead. >> i think this speaks to a cultural moment in this country right now where this case is -- be honest. badly prosecuted. >> yeah. >> the parent taking the minor to a protest with an ar-15. guys, i'm a conservative. a hunter, a shooter. i have firearms. i would never take my 17-year-old kid across state lines to a protest saying have an ar-15. this is a cultural moment lost in the shuffle and what we see emerging in the spectrum of proud boys and 3 percenters and the rest of the mutant parade that would like to push the window on what kind of political discourse is allowed and that political discourse if it is armed go all the way is what they say. they want it to escalate to confrontation. there's a part that's as radical nationalism to escalate it. i think that cultural moment is something to pay attention to. he's become a hero on the right. will be an intern in congress if matt gaetz has his way. all these things that these people have tried to turn this 17-year-old kid into this national cultural figure and it is very much a sort of an authoritarian playbook of find heroes for the cause and you transform them no matter what they have done and what this kid will be. the onion captured it perfect. appearing at the next 50 cpacs. it is important not to misunderstand how quickly the right will exploit a moment like this for their own political benefit. >> there is the worry that if kyle rittenhouse gets off so will i. next time january 6 happens you will see proud boys out there discharging the firearms and if they kill someone they will claim self defense. >> by the grace of god on january 16 we didn't have people show up tooled up and ready to shoot people. there were still firearms in the crowd and didn't use them and should be grateful as a country for that and on a thin, icy edge and should not rely on the fact to count on -- look. kyle rittenhouse was a 17-year-old boy. 17-year-old boys have poor impulse control as a general rule. you will have a lot of young guys out there with firearms and many of whom with no experience and training but this is now a part of the cultural signifiers of the movement so they'll do that and important to do the counter factual. what if blm protesters showed up carrying ar-15s? we would have a much different reaction. >> a point i made on the call this morning. last to you. looking ahead to the ahmaud arbery trial. are you expecting the same kind of outcome here or do you think we'll see something different, as you saw the adjustment of the laws in georgia following the killing of ahmaud arbery, laws based off of slavery? >> sure. i'm expecting a different outcome in this case. i have written what i think is the set of justifications and i think in the ahmaud arbery case the facts of the matter are just so blatant that for the defense to emerge victorious requires much more of intellectual gymnastics than it required the jury in the rittenhouse case. >> i got to say there's something chilling that sticks with me thinking back to january 6 and it was a member of the militia speaking to me saying to me if they come for our guns it's over. and you look at what happened with kyle rittenhouse and you think, what's coming? what's down the road for us? thank you. thank you. thank you. all right. want to get to breaking news out of haiti. two people from the group of missionaries taken hostage is released. the group abducted in october. after visiting an orphanage. in a statement a spokesperson said the two hostages are in good spirits and cared for. no further details have been released as of yet. we'll bring you new developments as we get them. still ahead, candidate for texas governor will join me live. he's holding a campaign kickoff event in dallas right now. plus, pushing the build back better built through the senate. what are democrats willing to give up to make it happen?

beto o'rourke hopes that he is. he ran unsuccessful bids for the white house and senate announced a run for texas governor last week. giving democrats a well-known name but is the name recognition enough for texans to turn texas blue for beto? a democrat has not been elected to state wide office in over 25 years in the state of texas and right now governor abbott leads in republican backed policies from abortion and voting to guns. joining me live in dallas, texas, candidate for governor of texas and former democratic congressman beto o'rourke and happens a crowd cheering as i announce him. i wonder if that was a setup. great to see you. thank you for joining us on this. listen. i said it. 25 years. it's been a long time. why now? is this an uphill battle? >> you've got to listen to the people of texas to get the answer on this one. not only are they sick of greg abbott, the electricity grid failure or the 72,000 killed by his incompetent response to covid but a failure to meet the big moment that we have right now to. to focus on jobs, education and doing smart, common sense things like expanding medicaid for more people see a doctor. texans are ready to get back to being big and do the things to help one another regardless of the differences between us. it is not object me and the democratic party. it is going to be about us. the people of texas are ready. >> so here's what we can compare it to. 2018. you almost had a win and didn't win in 2018. esch thought texas was moving in a more blue direction and now looks like it's a red direction. abortion ban. restricting voting access. handgun laws. a crackdown on undocumented immigrants. how do you see yourself winning in a state that seems like it's moving in a red direction? >> i'm so glad you asked the question because the extremist policy, the fringe politics is not us. that is not the people of texas. these bounty hunt ores set on the women of texas trying to make decisions on the health care, turning the back on members of law enforcement who begged the gr not to sign a permitless law into law. those aren't the things that we want to be focused on here in texas. we want to ensure that the best jobs in america are here. public school teachers don't have to work a second and third job to make ends meet and then help one another out. we are a kind, generous, big, bold people. not the small stuff. don't let him fool you. texas is coming back and i see it everywhere i go across the state. >> texans voted for abbott and the republican legislature. how do you thread the needle with a decidedly conservative state to support the abortion laws and the loose gun carrying laws? you said you support the ban of ar-15s. >> texas is not a red state and certainly not a blue state. we are a nonvoting state. 7 million of the fellow texans though eligible did not cast a ballot. incumbent upon us and not just me but everyone in this campaign including those with us today in dallas to knock on every door and give a reason to participate in the next election and keep the focus on the big things and not the democratic party talking points. but on jobs and jobs that pay. on schools that deliver the best possible education to our kids. and on making sure that in the least insured state in america you can see a doctor and be well enough to pursue the potential. from listening to the people of this state i know those are the reasons to vote and that's what they expect from a governor who had the interest of the state in mind. that's what we miss in texas today. thaers why we're running the campaign and will deliver. >> we have done coverage of texas schools. parents are fighting in board of ed rooms talking about the education system and what is actually being taught on the ground in texas schools. how do you reform that? how do you change that and rectify that with parents that are against teachings of race in schools? >> i say let's get more parents involved. my wife amy and i are very involved in the children's schools. we meet with the teachers. we go to the board meetings. i want more parents doing that right now and i want to in addition to feedback that we support the teachers and public school educators. yes with higher pay and the respect they deserve given the public service they provide for the state and the kids who are the future of texas right now. pampts are focused on kids reading at grade level. they're more concerned with high school graduation rates and college readiness and preparing the workforce to take on the jobs created in america and right here in texas. i'm damn optimistic about the chances in the state bringing everybody together. focus on the big things and public education is harder to think of a bigger thing than that. >> the potential to have to run against matthew mcconaughey. there is the potential he could. what do you make of it? >> there's really not much to say if he's not in this race. look. he's somebody that i think a lot of. really good guy who is beyond being a good actor. has done a lot of good things for the state of texas. all i know and all i can really have any say in right now is this campaign and the people who comprise it and the ability to go to every community and every part of the state to make sure that no one is written off and taken for granted. we'll bring the people of texas together to do great things. >> looks like current governor abbott's poll numbers sliding. 46%. you're at 37%. not bad for just announcing. we'll watch this. beto o'rourke, thank you for taking the time today. we appreciate it. thank you for being here. >> thank you. breaking news from china where tennis star peng shuai is heard from for the first time since going missing. what she had to say and why not everyone is convinced her appearance means she is safe. stay with us. stay with us (vo) the more we do with our phones, the more network quality and reliability matter. and only verizon has been the most awarded for network quality 27 times in a row. that means the best experience with calls, texts and data usage of any major carrier, according to customers. there's only one best network. the only one ranked #1 in reliability 16 times in a row. we are building 5g right. to make progress, we must keep taking steps forward. we believe the future of energy is lower carbon. and to get there, the world needs to reduce global emissions. at chevron, we're taking action. tying our executives' pay to lowering the carbon emissions intensity of our operations. it's tempting to see how far we've come. but it's only human... to know how far we have to go. no one can deliver your mom's homemade short ribs. for starters, your mom doesn't have a restaurant. if she did, it would be impossible to get in. she'd become famous overnight. she'd get talked into franchising everything. and at that point, they wouldn't really taste like your mom's short ribs. no one can deliver your mom's homemade short ribs. that's why instacart helps deliver the ingredients. - [female narrator] five billion people lack access to safe surgery. no one can deliver your mom's homemade short ribs. thousands of children are suffering and dying from treatable causes. for 40 years, mercy ships has deployed floating hospitals to provide the free surgeries these children need. join us. together, we can give children the hope and healing they never thought possible. it's a mission powered by love, made possible by you. give today. we see you. that's why we designed our new no7 pure retinol range. informed by 15 years of scientific research; to target the appearance of dark spots, wrinkles and boost radiance. and formulated to be gentler to skin. with downy infusions, let the scent set the mood. feel the difference with downy. wrinkles and boost radiance. some breaking developments in the story of missing chinese tennis star peng shuai. thomas bach released this photo of what he says is a video call with shaw and also released a statement saying she said she was fine. richardlui is here to explain. there's questions, not necessarily a lot of answers. a lot of folks are curious and somewhat i guess suspicious, right, of what has taken place over last 24 hours. >> more information more questions we get. you were talking about the ioc olympic committee saying this. peng in that statement they say explained that she is safe and well living at her home they say in the statement and would like to live more privately and to have the privacy respected. the statement also saying from one of -- the chair herself, i was relievered to see that peng shuai was doing fine chfts our main concern. she appeared to be relaxed. from the chair of the ioc and peng is clearly smiling. now there's another picture that actually has her talking with the ioc chair and in that picture appears to be fine. the winter olympics are two weeks away and they want them to happen without any controversy and this still does not answer of course the big question of sexual assault and where has been peng? for context peng shuai is like one of the williams sisters but from china as some describe her. peng and the williams all held various number 1 titles and played the doubles and olympic circuits together. that might be why serena williams and the tennis community is worried after peng went missing from the public eye for almost three weeks. serena saying i am devastated and shocked to hear of peng shuai. i hope she is safe and found as soon as possible. peng has had a long and successful career of over 20 two tour level titles back to 2014. moving forward on november 2 peng posted on social media about forcing -- being forced to have sex. she alleges china's former senior vice premier of being the perpetrator and sexually assaulted her and had an affair with him. this is just a portion of a longer social media post that lasted about 20 minutes before the post was deleted. in it she says -- translation from cnn referring to the alleged incidents. peng says that afternoon i did not agree at first and was crying all the time. she also says in this post why did you have to come back to me? took me to your home, to force me to have sex with you. and then another excerpt for you, i could describe how disgusted i was and how many times i asked myself am i still a human? i feel like a walking corpse. every day i was acting. after these posts we are not sure what happened for a couple weeks. this question of #where is peng shuai. the women's tennis association ceo said we'll pull out of china if we don't get answers. a move supported by billie jean king and novak djokovic. >> unless this is resolved i support it 100%. it is important because this is horrifying. i mean, a person is missing. >> and then in a white house press secretary saying this. we join in the calls for prc authorities to provide independent and verifiable proof of her whereabouts and that she is safe. a chinese foreign ministry spokesperson saying the matter is not a diplomatic question and not aware of the situation. then this twitter post november 17 purportedly an email from peng saying she is safe an enthat sexual assault claims are not true. that's all in this right here. lots of questions. why didn't peng herself post this on her social channels? if you look up here, supposed for the wtaceo why is it addressed to everyone? and then also look at this right here why you see this flashing cursor? looks like a screen grab. is that right? and that's right in the middle of the email. that's what we see. finally to add to the confusion about tweet today, a public appearance from today. though nbc news -- this is the picture from earlier from the ioc chairman. see her smiling and we also had another post that supposedly her at a tennis tournament. the final point for you here of context why while she is a sports giant in china the public sexual assault allegations are gar large because the #me too is outlawed. >> tough to read. thank you. okay. we'll be right back. bipolar depression. it made me feel like i was trapped in a fog. this is art inspired by real stories of people living with bipolar depression. i just couldn't find my way out of it. the lows of bipolar depression can take you to a dark place... ...and be hard to manage. latuda could make a real difference in your symptoms. latuda was proven to significantly reduce bipolar depression symptoms and in clinical studies, had no substantial impact on weight. this is where i want to be. latuda is not for everyone. call your doctor about unusual mood changes, behaviors, or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens, and young adults. elderly dementia patients on latuda have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor about fever, stiff muscles, and confusion, as these may be life threatening... ...or uncontrollable muscle movements, as these may be permanent. these are not all the serious side effects. now i'm back where i belong. ask your doctor about latuda and pay as little as $0 for your first prescription. and pay as little as $0 kevin! kevin?

>> you know, because we are the first line and we are the people who hear it first and it's just -- it's been building for months. and um, i -- i think that now it's reach add fever pitch and they have really drilled down to the fact they don't even want these books to exist. you have seen cases where they talking about sthept to they want to charge librarians. they want to burn books. the rhetoric's really escalated and librarians have seen this coming for some time. >> you got conservatives claiming it's basically like they just don't want their kids to read books that they think are not suitable for their children's age. do you buy that? >> um, i think for one thing, librarians always say this. what you do not have the right to do is try to decide what other people's children read and i think that's where the real disconnect is coming. you have absolute right to talk toure child about whatever you want but you don't get a pick for everyone else's children. you don't get to decide for the entire community. >> i know you aror you are now helping other librarians to protect their collections from being banned from impending bans. what needs to be done? what can folks do in their own communities? >> so, if you were a member of the public, you need to be just as loud as the people who want to burn books by tony morrison. so, what means is you need to contact your schools and libraries directly and tell them you support the freedom of information and the freedom to read and the first amendment and that you will be there at school-board meetings and sending letters to the editor, and you will stand up and you support their efforts to diversify their clak collections and reflect the true diversity of your community and the world. so you need -- if you oppose this, you need to be just as loud and now is the time to do it, not when they come start talking about books that say transgender people are corrupting children. >> angie, you are doing good work. thank you. appreciate it. that wraps up the hour for me, everybody. i'm yasmin vossoughian. i will be back next saturday and sunday the at 3:00 p.m. earn eastern. i am going to turn it over now reverend al sharpton and "politicsnation." good evening and welcome to "politicsnation." tonight's lead as goes wisconsin, so goes the nation. the midwestern state once known for cheese heads and happy days has come to perfectly encapsulate our politically polarized nation with deep divides between urban and rural, as well as white and nonwhite
