Joy Reid and her panel discuss. Witnesses at this week’s public Donald Trump impeachment inquiry hearings sounded the alarm about the threat of Russian interference in the 2020 election. New data from the Foreign Policy Research Institute shows that Russia has already chosen its favorite and least favorite candidates. MSNBC analyst Clint Watts joins Joy Reid to discuss. Analyses of the latest debate among 2020 Democratic presidential candidates is coming under scrutiny as impressive moments from Sen. Kamala Harris and Sen. Corey Booker apparently went under-reported, top-polling candidate Elizabeth Warren was barely mentioned, and less popular candidates such as Amy Klobuchar received the greatest plaudits. Joy Reid and her panel discuss. Billionaires such as 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer are increasingly on the defensive as populist candidates and progressive voters go on the attack. For example, the most popular item on the site for Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s campaign is a mug that says, ‘Billionaire Tears.’ Author Anand Giridharadas joins Joy Reid to discuss. The Donald Trump public impeachment inquiry hearings provided another week of stunning testimony, but many Republicans continue to portray these bombshell witness accounts as inconsequential. Joy Reid and her panel of legal analysts discuss what could come next. The Donald Trump public impeachment inquiry hearings delivered bombshell testimonies this week from 12 witnesses including Fiona Hill and Gordon Sondland. Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) and Sen.

For many Americans the economy under the Donald Trump administration is not performing well, with some sectors of the economy reportedly in a recession. CNBC’s John Harwood joins Joy Reid to discuss, telling AM JOY, ‘The very things that were supposed to be stimulated by the Trump tax cuts... are simply not happening.’ The Donald Trump impeachment inquiry has featured the first public, televised hearings in two decades, reminding many of the Watergate Hearings, which aired on network TV. Joy Reid and her panel compare and contrast the impeachment hearings of Nixon, with the House impeaching inquiry of Donald Trump, and media coverage of both. Donald Trump disparaged former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch on Twitter during her public impeachment hearing testimony. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) joins Joy Reid to discuss, telling AM JOY that this behavior of the president, ‘should be considered in the impeachment resolution.’ Some Republicans have been repeating Russian conspiracy theories about the 2016 election during the impeaching hearings, attempting to link Ukraine to the election meddling U.S. intelligence services have confirmed was conducted by the Kremlin. Joy Reid and her panel discuss. Last edited by Pawpcorn on 2019-11-25 11:17:20 | |

The Beat with Ari Melber, Nov. 26, 2019 Duration: 45 Minutes The Beat with Ari Melber 2019 11 26 720p WEBRip x264-PCDiscussed Today: Legendary actor and playwright Harvey Fierstein and Wall Street Journal Columnist Peggy Noonan join MSNBC’s Ari Melber for a special edition of Fallback Friday, an irreverent segment on the news show “The Beat with Ari Melber.” Peggy Noonan criticizes Donald Trump Jr.’s new book for comparing the sacrifices of his family business with soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. And Harvey Fierstein talks about his new play which chronicles the life of iconic women’s rights advocate Bella Abzug and how her plight compares with that of Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 presidential campaign. MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber reports on a troubling case for Pres. Trump’s Ukraine scandal — how Governor Rod Blagojevich’s failed bribery plot led to his impeachment, and a conviction that landed him in jail for 14 years. The former “Apprentice” contestant was caught on tape seeking a bribe in exchange for appointing the replacement for Barack Obama’s senate seat. The legal precedent shows how a politician can be convicted for a bribery felony, even when the plot fails, and how under the law, “merely demanding” a bribe without receiving it constitutes the crime of bribery. Melber also reports that Trump discussed pardoning Blagojevich in comments after Trump’s infamous call with Ukraine’s President, which Congress is investigating as a potential bribery solicitation. Hardball with Chris Matthews, Nov. 26, 2019 Duration: 44 Minutes Hardball with Chris Matthews 2019 11 26 720p WEBRip x264-PCDiscussed Today: The New York Times reports that Trump was well-aware he was accused of wrongdoing when he released the Ukraine aid – and when he said there was no “quid pro quo.” Trump attacked the impeachment inquiry at his Florida rally. House impeachment investigators released new transcripts tonight – including from Mark Sandy – the only budget official to testify on the implementation of Trump’s hold on security aide to Ukraine. As the U.N.’s latest report says that drastic action must be taken on climate change, Chris Matthews details how Trump’s climate denial is taking down the world.

While speaking with Bill O'Reilly this week, the president appeared to be putting some distance between himself and his attorney Rudy Giuliani. Since October, the percent of Americans supporting the impeachment and removal of the president has dropped three points to 45 percent. The panel discusses. The president has put son-in-law Jared Kushner in charge of overseeing the construction of the proposed border wall, according to new reporting.

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) says the Democrats' academic witnesses will be "people that you know of." Climate Central CEO and Chief Scientist Ben Strauss says the "problem is too big for any one entity to do on its own." The Beat with Ari Melber, Nov. 27, 2019 Duration: 44 Minutes The Beat with Ari Melber 2019 11 27 720p WEBRip x264-PCDiscussed Today: Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian ever, talks to MSNBC’s Ari Melber about his environmental initiative with Colgate to advocate for water conservation and better habits for daily consumption; opens up about his work on mental health; and discusses his training playlist from country classics to Lil Wayne. Trump is distancing himself from his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani saying he did not instruct Giuliani to go to Ukraine. Giuliani reportedly called Trump to say his “insurance policy” line about Trump was "a joke." The call comes after The Washington Post reports Giuliani sought money from the Ukraine prosecutor plotting against Biden. Former Federal Prosecutor Seth Waxman and Bill Kristol of "Defending Democracy Together" join Ari Melber. Trump's reportedly considering boycotting the Judiciary Committee's impeachment hearings as The New York Tims reports Trump knew about the whistleblower complaint before changing his Ukraine plot and released that country's military aid. Margaret Carlson argues the Trump impeachment case is "the opposite of Watergate" saying "It's as if Nixon delivered the tapes before The Supreme Court hearing." “Art of the Deal” coauthor Tony Schwartz goes deep on the spiritual holes of modern life -- and ways to transcend the current societal pressure to constantly focus on yourself, brand yourself and seek fame, power and fortune at the expense of others, a process that he argues ultimately leaves people feeling inadequate and empty. In this interview on the roof of NBC's iconic 30 Rockefeller building, a special Thanksgiving segment on "The Beat with Ari Melber," Schwartz explores how people try to fill their “inner deficit,” a theme he has often discussed as applying to his prior writing collaborator Donald Trump, and how to pursue a more spiritual focus. Hardball with Chris Matthews, Nov. 27, 2019 Duration: 44 Minutes Hardball with Chris Matthews 2019 11 27 720p WEBRip x264-PCDiscussed Today: The Washington Post and New York Times both report Giuliani was pursuing business deals in Ukraine - with Ukrainian officials - at the same time that he was trying to dig up dirt on President Trump's political rivals. New reporting from the New York Times raises questions about what led to the release of security assistance to Ukraine. With the Iowa caucuses just a little more than two months away -- it's not clear who Trump's challenger will be yet. Chris Matthews talks to former Hearst CEO Frank Bennack about his new book and media in the age of Trump. Last edited by Pawpcorn on 2019-11-28 10:28:08 | |

| Thursday From what I can tell, there is zero new MSNBC programming tomorrow (Thursday). It's Dateline-Palooza all day and night. Friday programming returns to normal, but I'm sure we'll see lots of "guest hosts" that we hardly ever see. For example, I'd never heard of the guest host for Wednesday's DWH, Geoff Bennett. ... What I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving includes people like Marie Yovanovitch, Fiona Hill, and Adam Schiff, and all people who are working like hell to preserve and repair our democracy!

| "A Warning" by Anonymous (azw3 epub mobi)  A Warning by Anonymous (azw3 epub mobi)https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/07/books/review/a-warning-anonymous-book-review-trump.html Book Review by The New York Times: In ‘A Warning,’ Anonymous Author Makes Case Against Re-election The same official who wrote an Opinion essay in 2018 argues in a new book that the president’s contract shouldn’t be renewed. By Jennifer Szalai Published Nov. 7, 2019, Updated Nov. 11, 2019 “Trust me”: It’s a tired cliché, a throwaway line, but when you first encounter it in “A Warning,” the new book by “Anonymous,” who is identified here only as “a senior Trump administration official,” it lands with a startling thud. Any revealing details have been explicitly and deliberately withheld to protect this person’s identity. Who is this “me” that we’re supposed to trust? It’s a question that the anonymous author — who wrote an Op-Ed for The Times last year about resisting the president’s “more misguided impulses” — might have anticipated, given how much of the book is devoted to the necessity of “character” and to quoting dead presidents by name. Not to mention this individual’s own conspicuous failures of judgment thus far. You don’t even have to take it from me; you can take it from Anonymous. “Many reasonable people voted for Trump because they love their country, wanted to shake up the establishment, and felt that the alternative was worse,” Anonymous writes. “I know you because I’ve felt the same way.” A mildly chastened Anonymous now seems to recognize, somewhat belatedly, that President Trump’s peddling of birtherism conspiracy theories and his boasts about grabbing women’s genitals might have constituted their own kind of warning — plausible evidence that Mr. Trump might not magically transform into the dignified statesman Anonymous so desperately wanted him to be. Anonymous even admits that the thesis of the Op-Ed in The Times — the essay that led directly to the existence of this book, and was published just over a year ago — was “dead wrong” too. Attempts by the “adults in the room” to impose some discipline on a frenzied (or nonexistent) decision-making process in the White House were “just a wet Band-Aid that wouldn’t hold together a gaping wound,” Anonymous writes. The members of the “Steady State” (the term “Deep State” clearly stings) have done everything they can, to no avail. Anonymous is passing the baton to “voters and their elected representatives” — only now the baton is a flaming stick of dynamite. “A Warning,” then, is just that: a warning, for those who need it, that electing Mr. Trump to a second term would be courting disaster. “The president has failed to rise to the occasion in fulfilling his duties,” Anonymous intones. The book’s publisher and agents apparently referred to the manuscript as the “December Project,” though the publication date was moved up to this month when the House announced an impeachment inquiry. “I realize that writing this while the president is still in office is an extraordinary step,” Anonymous says. In light of three years’ worth of resignations, tell-all books, reports about emoluments and sworn testimony about quid pro quos, this is a decidedly minimalist definition of “extraordinary.” How can a book that has been denuded of anything too specific do anything more than pale against a formal whistle-blower complaint? It’s hard to look like a heroic truth teller by comparison, but Anonymous tries very hard, presenting anonymity as not just convenient but an ultimately selfless act, designed to force everyone to pay more attention to what this book says by deflecting attention away from the person who’s saying it. “Removing my identity from the equation deprives him of an opportunity to create a distraction,” Anonymous writes, referring to Mr. Trump’s compulsion for attacking his critics. “What will he do when there is no person to attack, only an idea?” Anonymous has seen disturbing things. Anonymous has heard disturbing things. You, the reader, will already recognize most of what Anonymous has seen and heard as revealed in this book if you have been paying any attention to the news. Did you know that the president isn’t much of a reader? That he’s inordinately fond of autocrats? That “he stumbles, slurs, gets confused, is easily irritated, and has trouble synthesizing information”? “A Warning,” Anonymous says, is intended for a “broad audience,” though to judge by the parade of bland, methodical arguments (Anonymous loves to qualify criticisms with a lawyerly “in fairness”), the ideal reader would seem to be an undecided voter who has lived in a cave for the past three years, and is irresistibly moved by quotations from Teddy Roosevelt and solemn invocations of Cicero. Plenty of people have preemptively criticized this book as an opportunistic grift, though Anonymous has announced a plan to donate a portion of the royalties to “nonprofit organizations that focus on government accountability,” including the White House Correspondents’ Association. Besides, everything in the text of “A Warning” suggests a dyed-in-the-wool establishment Republican. There’s the typical talk about American exceptionalism and national security. There’s the eternal complaint that President Barack Obama was “out of touch with mainstream America.” There’s a wistful elegy for “our budget-balancing daydreams.” Yes, Anonymous is happy about the conservative judicial appointments, the deregulation, the tax cuts; what rankles is the “unbecoming” behavior, the “unseemly antics.” A big tell comes early on, when Anonymous reveals what “the last straw” was. It wasn’t Mr. Trump’s response to the right-wing rally in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017, when a white supremacist killed a woman and the president talked about “the violence on many sides.” It wasn’t even the administration’s separation of migrant families at the border. These examples might have left Anonymous appalled, but the truly unforgivable act was when Senator John McCain died last year and Mr. Trump tried to hoist the flag on the White House above half-staff: “President Trump, in unprecedented fashion, was determined to use his office to limit the nation’s recognition of John McCain’s legacy.” Anonymous says that the president “deserves to be fired,” but that’s just the author indulging in a little rhetorical flourish; what Anonymous really means is that the president’s contract shouldn’t be renewed. Actively seeking to remove Mr. Trump from office, whether by invoking the 25th Amendment or pursuing impeachment proceedings, would be “bad” because “we can scarcely afford further disunion.” Mr. Trump, Anonymous says, should simply not be elected to a second term; only then can the country “undertake the arduous task of moral repair” and “restore the soul of its political system.” Anonymous declares that this “American spirit” was best exemplified by the bravery shown by the passengers on United Flight 93, who rushed the cockpit on 9/11. We’ve seen Flight 93 used as a conservative analogy before — by another anonymous author no less, writing under the pen name Publius Decius Mus, who argued before the 2016 presidential election that “a Hillary Clinton presidency is Russian Roulette with a semi-auto” and consequently that voting for Mr. Trump offered the only chance for the republic’s survival. That the same violent tragedy has been deployed to argue one point and then, three years later, to argue its utter opposite is, to put it charitably, bizarre. But then Anonymous, a self-described “student of history,” doesn’t seem to register the discrepancy. Nor does Anonymous square the analogy with an episode mentioned in the opening pages of “A Warning” — of senior officials contemplating a replay of the Nixon administration’s so-called Saturday Night Massacre by resigning en masse. The idea of doing anything so bold was floated within the first two years of the Trump administration, and then abandoned. Toward the end of the book, an earlier quote from Mr. Trump kept coming back to me, unbidden: “These are just words. A bunch of words. It doesn’t mean anything.” © 2019 The New York Times Company Last edited by Pawpcorn on 2019-11-29 03:16:38 | |

| Paranoid Trump Refuses To Work Near Staff He No Longer Trusts  The Ring of Fire Published on Nov. 30, 2019 Donald Trump no longer trusts his White House staff, and according to reports, he is isolating himself from them even more than usual. Rather than carrying out his official business in the West Wing, he now conducts most of his “work” in private in the residence portion of the White House. The man is losing what little grip he had on reality, and that’s not something we should celebrate. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this. Last edited by Pawpcorn on 2019-12-01 03:16:56 | |
