Feel your party, the Democratic Party does not Pay Attention to them any more you are more concerned with what bathroom people go into, to how they earn a living . What is the message. Very fair question. One, you give me credit. Its about 1 10. Its not a bad rate for me. Look, if we were going back in history to the 30s and 40s, and you asked the average working person, which party is the party of the Working Class in america . Overwhelmingly, people would have said it was the Democratic Party. Today people do not say that. And for good reason. No. When we talk about the greed on wall street, it wean the the republicans alone who did it, they did it with democrats. It was a democratic administration, not a republican
administration, that brought forth nafta, i think the democrats have got to make a fundamental choice, chris, that is which side are they on . You cannot be on the side of wall street, of the Drug Companies and the Insurance Companies and the big money and go to Working P
Replacement in sight. Repeal and replace is going great. And racial bias, Excessive Force and reckless shootings. Todays doj report on the Chicago Police department when all in starts right now. Good evening from new york, im chris hayes. There is just one week to go until donald trump becomes the president of the United States. He has not even taken office yet and already trump is historically unpopular. His transition, arguably clouded by more serious scandals and controversy than all eight years of the Obama Administration combined. As questions mount about the circumstances of trumps election and his alleged ties to a foreign adversary. Democrats appear to be reaching a breaking point. In an interview with chuck todd, georgia congressman, Civil Rights Icon john lewis became the first to declare openly what i believe many lawmakers have until now only suggested. I dont see this
President Elect as a legitimate president. You do not consider him a legitimate president . Why is that .
Lets face it. The big show is going to be the Supreme Court. And i think also the planned parenthood funding. Some republicans are squishy on that. One other thing he said this morning that will cause concerns on the hill from his party was talking about a border tax, instituting a border tax on companies that ship jobs overseas. Thats something when he talked about that after the election, republicans were running away from that. Majority leader of the house, Kevin Mccarthy warned it could start a trade war. Paul ryan started to distance himself from that saying well worry about doing this in a larger tax reform bill. Trump today made it very clear that he wants to go that route. As president , you do have fairly wide latitude to impose tariffs. Does he carry through with some of those threats . I agree with karen. A lot of stuff is symbolic. We knew tpp was dead. A symbolic move. When we get into details of legislative push on obamacare and Supreme Court nominee and on doing things l
Kellyanne conway had to say about it today. That cannot be verified. Thats a classified briefing. We should all be increasingly confirmed that we have, quote, Intelligence Officials, divulging information unsourced, unnamed to the rest of us. Just to smear the President Elect of the United States we now have Intelligence Officials divulging information theyre sworn not to divulge. We should be very concerned about that. I dont even think this is fake news. I think its just fake. I would take the news word right out of it. Reporter so what were seeing from donald trump and his advisers is pushback against the Intelligence Community but taking issue with the underlying allegations that cnn has not cooperated and have not been reporting. And reince priebus, trumps chief of staff, said he asked donald trump directly about some of these underlying allegations. Donald trump apparently told him they were complete garbage but
in more colorful language. You can bet this will come up at the Pres
Promised to help. During the campaign, President Elect trump put out a list of promises. He put out his contract for American Voter and in it, very specific promises for his first 100 days. Lowering taxes and tax reform. Free and fair trade deals to protect American Workers and their jobs. Fixing our nations infrastructure and sending education back to the states and school choice. Repealing and replacing obamacare. Affordable child care, pulling a border wall, keeping community safe, rebuilding our nations military and doing what he calld draining the swamp. If he can keep those promises come of this country will be in a much better place one year from now, two years from now, four years from now. So on the eve of this inauguration, my advice for the incoming president is very simple. Dont let the washington establishment, republican establishment, democratic establishment, Media Establishment that in the way of
but i think we will get there and i think this very much is a new beginni
