All right. All right. Appreciate your time tonight here on the ed show. Good luck to buffalo. And that is the ed show. Politics nation with reverend al sharpton right now. Good evening. And thanks to you for tuning in. Breaking news tonight, president obamas historic move to correct a national injustice. Tomorrow night, hell announce his plan to fix americas broken immigration system. Moving past years of gop gridlock to help up to 5 Million Immigrants stay in this country and pursue the American Dream. He teased the announcement today on facebook. Everybody agrees our immigration system is broken. Unfortunately, washington has allowed the problem to fester for too long. What im going to be laying out is the things i can do with my
lawful authority as president to make the system work better. Our system is broken. And the president is moving forward because House Republicans have refused to act. The Senate Passed an immigration bill last summer. 14 republicans voted for it. When it went to the house, Speaker Boehner ignored it. It has been 510 days now, 510 days that House Republicans have refused to vote on the senate bill. Or pass one of their own is what the president has asked for over and over again. I am always interested in negotiating a legislative solution of the immigration problem. Pass a bill i can sign on this issue. The minute they pass a bill that addresses the problems with Immigration Reform, i will sign it. If they dont like his plan, they could pass a bill. But what are we hearing instead . Speaker boehner spokesperson says quote, if Emperor Obama ignores the American People and announces an amnesty plan, he will september his legacy of lawlessness. But name calling wont fix our immigration system. Until Speaker Boehner and his colleagues start doing real work, the president is moving forward. Joining me now, Loretta Sanchez and Jonathan Cape hart of the washington post. Thank you both for being here. Thank you. Congresswoman, how do you feel about the president s announcement . How do you feel ahead of it . Reporter im elated the president is finally making some movement on this broken immigration system. He came in six years ago. He knew this was a problem. Ive been in the congress 18 years. Weve been trying to get something. Weve been trying to make it know. The Senate Passed this 510 days ago. And yet the House Republicans have refused to allow us a vote on any kind of reform, comprehensive Immigration Reform that we need. Weve been asking the president , give us some relief. Help these families who are being torn apart. American values system. The American Value system says keep your families together. Keep your mom with the kids. Keep them together. And what weve been doing is tearing communities apart. So im elated that the president has finally stood up and said, do you know what . If the republicans wont do something, i will. Jonathan, how big a moment is this in the Obama Presidency . Reporter it is a big moment. You know, when you lnl to the republican critics of the president , they make a good
point. Why didnt the president do this when the democrats controlled both houses of congress during the first two years of his first term. And the problem with that is, the president decided to push Health Care First because washington cant handle two big ideas at the same time. Its a big deal because the president promised the immigrant communities and activists that he would take executive action if the congress didnt move legislatively. He said so from the rose garden back in june and said at the end of the summer and then he went back on that promise and said by the end of the year, after the midterm elections. Listening to democrats saying please dont can this, please dont take executive action before the midterm elections to help save some democratic seats, that didnt happen. The democrats still lost and lost by a lot. So now the president is looking to fulfill his promise but also to take some action. The other thing we have to keep in mine here, this is a big
deal. Primarily because it is a temporary action. All executive orders are temporary. What the president will announce is temporary. The only way to make what happens tomorrow permanent or to bring any kind of permanency to the undocumented immigrants in this country right now is for congress to do something. For congress to pass a bill. Congresswoman, you know our new nbc poll shows the American People are conflicted on this issue. 48 disapprove of the president s executive action. 57 support a path to citizenship. Nbcs democratic post has said, the public wants this policy. That doesnt mean theyll be happy with how it might get done. How does the president explain why his action is necessary, congresswoman . The president has worked the congress. Hes worked with the republicans. I think hes bent over backwards to try to get an immigration
reform bill done. It is pretty apparent that we havent gotten it done. The republicans in particular in the house have just refused to bray bill up for a vote. So now the president is saying, you know, i am going to act the American People have to understand. What is the president likely to do . What are we hearing he is going to do . What he is saying is, if there are families in america and there is a u. S. Born child, for example, or a resident child in the family, or in the family, in the immediate family. Then those who dont have documents are going to get to stay with the child in the family, in the family unit, and theyre going to get work payments so they can work. Work permits. It will allow them to work and it will allow them not to look over their shoulder each and every day to see if theyll be snapped up and deported out of this country. And then these children, who are american citizens, be left behind without their mom or
their dad or somebody to help them. Thats all. Its not a huge thing. Its not like were letting every person who doesnt have documents in this country in. Were talking about keeping families together. Now right on that point, i want to you stay with me, congresswoman sanchez, and you too, jonathan. We have to remember the president s action is about helping real people. People like this woman, shes an albanian immigrant whose story was featured in a recent documentary. The dream is now. She was released after ten hours in the detention central. Her attorney said there was a possibility she could stay in the country but her mother would have to leave. There is no way were doing that. She decided to go public with her story. Its not about you anymore. Youre doing them an injustice if you keep quiet about it. One week before her high
school graduation, ola was granted a temporary stay. I have a chance to graduate. A chance to be a doctor. There is no better feeling than that. Lets bring in ola. What do you hope to hear from the president tomorrow night . I think ideally, i cant speak on behalf of everyone in our community. But we would like to see 11 Million People included in this executive action. You would like to see 11 million . Yes. And explain to someone out there that is on the fence, that dont know where they are, why this is so important to you. Youre not a congresswoman like congresswoman sanchez. Youre not a journalist like
Jonathan Capehart. You are a young woman and we just showed you this story. Tell me the human side. Forget washington politics. What does this mean to you and 11 million other people . Well, quite frankly, congress has failed to act for six years. Congress has failed to do their jobs and act on immigration and create a stable and essentially a common sense reform for 11 Million People in this country. And so the executive action could provide stability for hopefully everyone in our community to stop having to fear deportations and being separated from their families and not having any certainty about their future and whats to come. So what are your dreams . What are you hoping to do in america . I am hoping to become a doctor and i have parents that have raised me in this country and have raised me to believe in the American Dream and everything that this country has to offer. And i would love to see them have the stability and have opportunities to grow in this country as i have had the opportunities to do so. And executive action could
provide. That not only for my parents but our entire community. Isnt that what this is really all about . Yeah. For folks who focus on the politics of all this, it might seem, everyone focuses on the cold political congratulations. What is driving the white house, whats driving the president in particular, are people like ola, people like eric and others who weve gotten to know. Especially over the last summer who are fighting to keep their families together. Who are fighting for themselves and others to be able to come out of the shadows. To no longer be undocumented and to be fully part of the american story and the American Dream. The one thing we have to keep in mind. The president will announce today wont be the 11 million that ola hopes he will announce. It will probably affect about 5 Million People. What the president will announce is something that is temporary. Unless congress stems forward
and does something on Immigration Reform, all of these families, the 11 million families, the 11 million undocumented immigrants in this country will still be in jeopardy. Today there was an om ed title, obama is not a monarch. Emthe senate shouldnt confirm a single nominee. Executive or judicial. Outside of vital positions. And congress should use the power of the purse to strip the authority from the president to grant amnesty. Translation, government shutdown. Isnt that going to back fire on the gop . I believe so. Ive been talking to some of my more moderate republican friends here in the house of representatives and they are scared to death of a government shutdown. Thenlds that ted cruz drove the shutdown. And that he is, will not blink
an eye to shut down the government. He is leak a little kid throwing a tantrum. This is what this guy does. He talks some guys over here into doing the same thing. And you know, that is what the American People do not want. They want their government to function. They want us to work together. The president has worked and worked and worked at this. And these guys have refused to vote in this house of representatives. So if theyre not going to come along and help us to help families, working families, families who are decent families, deacons in churches, pta moms, families who volunteer in hospitals. Then the president will sign it and go alone at it. And he should. Let me go back to ola before we run out of time. What do you say to people that say you are not an american. You shouldnt be here. Well, this country was built on immigrants. It was built on the foundation that if you come here, you work hard, you can earn your place here. So quite frankly, i think that their thoughts are really incongruent to the american ideals and the foundation this country has been built upon. Well, let me say, i look forward to one day calling you doctor. Congresswoman, thank you. Loretta sanchez, thank you congresswoman sanchez, thank you, Jonathan Capehart, and thank you to be, ola. Thank you for your time tonight. Thank you. Thank you. Straight ahead, more on the breaking news. And a roar from the right. Republicans are losing their minds over the coming executive action. Plus, a record breaking snow emergency in buffalo. The city is buried in six feet of snow. And more is on the way. And who will host this years white house Correspondents Dinner . Soft holiday music ] can you help me up . [ snow intensifies ] [ sleighbells ring in the distance ] aleve. All day pain relief with just 2 pills. Get back to being you. David wrote, time to stop breaking up families. Gloria posted, its time, hes doing the right thing. Gary said, time to list all the president s that have done this in both parties. Great point. Thats not stopping many on the right from attacking today. More on that coming up. But first, please keep the conversation going on facebook
page or tweet us at politics nation. President obama to announce his executive action on immigration. The president s plan will save 5 Million People in this country from being deported. Some republicans dont care about that. They just want to use executive action as a new way to attack the president. I think the outrage will be so great that that will support
our efforts to defund the executive order amnesty and not give the money to execute it. We know there is the word. There are as the piece mentioned, spending measures, the president can be censured, he can be sued by the congress. I think there will be lawsuits filed. You do . Oh, yeah. I think thats a whole lot of derangement right there. So lets go through it again. Theyre threatening on defund to shutdown the government. Impeach the president , censure the president and sue him all for doing his job. This has nothing to do with whether the president is overstepping his authority and everything to do with republicans playing politics with millions of peoples lives. Joining me now, congresswoman, democrat for illinois. Thank you for being here. My pleasure. Congresswoman, are these gop threats all real or is it just some bluster and bluffing . You know, the thing thats so crazy about it, is that it is at their peril that they would do any of those things and completely ignore the issue, as you said, of 5 million law abiding people who simply want to be in this country, pay taxes. They would have to go through a criminal back ground check. Would it add to our economy. Be good for all of us. They would rather talk about how they will punish the president . It has been over 500 days since the Senate Passed an, a comprehensive Immigration Reform with 67 votes. What is senator mccain thinking . Why doesnt he go and talk to senator bainer . Stop talking about shutdowns and suing. Others are talking about impeachment. It is not helpful to the republicans to do that. You know, congresswoman, Speaker Boehner has promised repeatedly to reform immigration. In 2012, he said, quote, a comprehensive approach is well overdue. In 2013 em, is Immigration Reform dead . Absolutely not. In 2014, he promised. Congress could take this issue up next year. Now republicans are saying, theyll do it next year. Honest. Who would believe them. No one would believe it. Look. We are now in the 2016 election cycle. If the republicans ever hope to be having a president of the United States, they can just throw those hopes away if they do not act right on Immigration Reform. And by the way, i dont know if you talked about this but every president for the last 50 years
has done through executive order, some kind of Immigration Reform. George h. W. Bush, 1. 5 Million Immigrants were made legal. That was about 40 of the immigrants in the United States at that time who were not legal. He made them legal. So this is not a new policy. For them to not act, theyll be hurt by that. You know, republicans claim the president is overstepping his powers by signing the executive action. But they forget, two other president s that use executive orders on immigration before as you just stated. Ronald reagan in 87, and george h. W. Bush who you just cited, in 1990. Used executive action to protect undocumented immigrants from deportation. The hypocrisy that you raised here, and adding reagan to it,
it shows how glaring this is in terms. Just political posturing. And looking at people as collateral damage. You know, they have already threatened to sue the president over the Affordable Care act. And did you know that two lawyers have already stepped away and said that theres nothing there . And yet john boehner is talking at expanding that lawsuit that they havent filed. To now immigration. I mean, this is just so petty. They refuse to deal with the real issue that is on the table. And how this is going to then business community. How this is going to help our economy. How its going on help families. Dont they know . In my district, i have had little children hanging on to their parents legs and crying in fear that theyre going to be deported. Why do that . Its not good for anybody. Thank you for your time tonight. Thank you so much. Be sure to wax the
president s announcement on immigration tomorrow night starting at 8 00 p. M. Eastern, right here on msnbc. Still ahead, a left hook to the right wing. Today Elizabeth Warren came out swinging.

Seven weatherrelated deaths have been reported so far. This was the scene driving through upstate new york today. Where 70 plus inches of snow has fallen in the last day. The dangerous weather conditions left drivers trapped on the interstate. Some for over 24 hours. And over 100 people were trapped early this morning. This was the scene on the ground today. Reporter we picked up 40 inches of snow in 24 hours. This is the result. It left people stranded. What im afraid of is, we cant. Theres so much snow that i cannot even get my outside door open. Take a look at this. This is what used to be a lawn here during the summer months, okay. Take a look at this. Well over my hips. Residents say theyve never
seen anything like this. I havent seen anything like that my entire life. Four or five feet in a day is crazy. Ive never seen anything like this. 36, been through some pretty good storms and there is by far the worst. Ive never seen it like that. Heres a time lapse video of the huge wall of snow moving in and blanketing the buffalo area. And the stunning images were taken from a drone during the storm. You can barely see because of the snow. And more drone footage from the aftermath of the storm. The National Guard has been called in to help clean up. Social media shows us the scope of the storm.

Theyre hoping we lose focus because the country wants economic fairness. New numbers from the nbc wall street journal shows 65 support congress raising the minimum wage. 75 support increased public spending on roads and highways for job creation. And 82 Want Congress to find ways to lower the student loans. So this is the reality. No matter what theyre talking about in the right, and in their
right wing bubble, americans favor Progressive Agenda of fairness. And today, a champion for that agenda, senator Elizabeth Warren was back out making the case for change. One thing has not changed. The stock market and gdp continue to go up. While families across this country are getting squeezed harder and harder. If we want our kids to start a life without carrying a thousand pound rock of debt on their backs, then we must make sure that education is affordable. The American Dream is slipping out of reach. This cannot be the legacy we leave for our children and for our grandchildren. We must fight back with everything we have. The game is rigged but we know how to fix it. We know what to do. And at the very same time Elizabeth Warren was talking about fairness, gop stars gathered at the Republican Governors Association meeting where they did everything they could to distract us from what matters. This president s failed leftist approach, it is the government growing bigger, stronger, not trusting us to buy our own health insurance. President talked years ago about the audacity of hope. That his Job Description over the last six years, when he was asked, what do you do . He said i go to the office. I sue obama and i go home. The gop is trying to distract us so people will lose focus. We cant let it happen. Joining me now, susan milligan. Thank you for joining us. Great to be here. At what point will the republicans talk about minimum wage and infrastructure instead of distractions like lawsuits
and shutdowns . I think theyll Start Talking about it when they realize it wont work for them in 2016. Look, the American People have a funny way of figuring out what to focus on. And what is happening, and i think it is really going to hit a peak in 2016, is this frustration and anger over the fact, while weve come out of this recession and the economy is technically going well, the wages have stagnated and people are getting pretty frustrated. You played that clip from Elizabeth Warren. I think she will play a huge role in 2016. Not as a candidate but someone who articulates this message for the democratic party. The democrats kind of ran away from this in the midterm election. Somewhat understandably given the madison and it didnt work out for them. I think that will be a very Important Message in 2016. Lets look at the polling again. Americans favor progressive ideas on the minimum wage infrastructure student loans. Do democrats like senator warren sense they need to do a better job pushing their message on
these issues . Well, i think she does. And it is that shes been saying that for some time. You look at the mid materials. There was a minimum wage increase on the ballots in five states. All five voted yes is that four were very red states. On the issues in the polling, the democrats are being validated. Theyre just not winning at the ballot box. Thats where the disconnect is. I think that will come to a head in 2016. They have to not be afraid of that message and be afraid of being called liberals or something. Now, today senator warren talked about how personal this fight is for her. Listen. When my daddy had a heart attack, we went a long stretch with no money coming in. The bills piled up. We lost the family station wagon. And we were right on the edge of losing our home. When the time came, there was no money to send me to college. But i got a chance. A commuter college that cost 50 a semester. And it opened a million doors for me. You know, how much does that connect with people, susan . Around the country right now, when they hear her telling that kind of story, a feeling people dont have the same opportunities that they used to. I think it resonates quite a lot. I was listening to that thinking, i put myself through college. My tuition was 450 a semester and it was hard. My students now might be used to it saying the amounts of money they have to borrow just to go through school and the interest on those loans is extraordinary. And theyre terrified of getting out of college and having to pay back these loans. And i think that a lot of people are going through this. And it is something as i said, it is really starting to make people angry. Because the economy overall has gotten a lot better. Corporations are doing well. Executives are doing well. But just middle class people are not. Theyre not benefiting from, they lost a lot during the recession but theyre not benefiting yet from the recovery. Thank you for your time tonight. Thank you. Still ahead. So for leading from behind. Watch the gops talking points crumble as the president goes big on immigration. Also, normal barbie. Just in time for the holidays.

Its time for conversation nation. Joining me tonight, democratic strategist jimmy williams, and political strategist angela. Thank you all three of you for being here. Thanks. Lets talk about the president s executive action and a new poll showing he is facing some resistance from the public. 48 are against the president alone on immigration. Versus 38 who approve. But 74 do support a pathway to citizenship. Once they learn details of the
plan. So this sounds like the Affordable Care act act where the people support the policies are not the president. Angela, is there a disconnect here . Yes. The disconnect, unaffordably, it is the thing where they say, dont kill the miss he knower. It is not only the messenger. The deliverer. Absolutely. And not only that, he is the one who has been the most effective on the message. We talk about this. All the challenges, the successes hes had even from the economic side. Businesses overwhelmingly support Immigration Reform. The policy people support overwhelmingly related to Immigration Reform are the fact that we bring in highly skilled work enters into this country. He is again, the deliverer and the messenger and people dont want to hear from him. I hate to say the two words, obama fatigue but im going to say obama fatigue. Ill tell you why. The republicans have done such a remarkably swell job of making him look inempty, incompetent, all the in words. All the things he hasnt been able to do. And everything that angela just said. Highest stock market, highest corporate markets in the history of the world. The list is on and on. And yet he is an emperor, he cant lead. And hes done it all. But somehow, some way the republicans have could not vinlsed a majority of the American People, post 2012, by the way, when he won by 5 million votes pex stinks and he doesnt. Instead of just jumping to executive action, shouldnt he have tried to get congress on board . He tried. The difference is that in 2016, the republicans need latino vote. They needed it in the mid terms. They need it all the time. At least at this point they
have nothing to complain about if he at least tried again. And you guys are the experts. I agree. I have a gas stove at home. If i keep putting my finger there over and over again, at some point im going to have third degree burns. The president is not stupid. Do i think he could communicate better . I want him to get on air force one and travel this country like crazy dog and tell people how good this stuff is. And make sure he has people with him that can speak spanish and talk on groups that matter. Next up, just in time for the holidays. A new barbie doll. But this barbie looks nothing like what you remember. This one is, quote, normal. A normal barbie with an average womans proportions. She even come with cellulite, freckles and acne stickers. So kids can customize her. The designer of the toy said he wants kids to play with the doll that doesnt perpetuate impossible ideas. He even created a video to show
the doll transform into a barbie through photo shop. Just to hammer home his point. What do you think of normal barbie . Is she on your wish list . I have a list of 463 reasons of why i dont want children and this is on it. So i dont have to make decisions between barbies. But with that. There are the parents who are going to be, oh, looks dont matter and beauty is skin deep and people care about your mind and not your body. Those crunchy folks, theyve love this doll. The rest houston live in the real world who know the looks do matter. 19yearolds dont have cellulite. Some of them do. I dont know what to say about baby dolls. Ive rarely scene you speechless. When i was a little boy, i used to play with baby dolls. Ill admit it. Ill own it all day long. I used to preach to them. Best congregation i ever had. At 9 years old, i dont know if i noticed that baby dolls or my friends dolls, or my gi joe had a zit or a big butt. I dont remember that. Nor did i care. What i do think matters, at least the doll is scary. The doll look likes chucky. There are a couple things. One is i think there are certain times of things we should focus on with children and the toys they play. With whether or not they have cellulite or scars or look like they were fighting with the gi joe or the daughter. I think it goes a couple steps too far. I think we should focus if they have long hair, short hair. My parents got me a sash a doll that had my skin complexion because there were only light dolls or dark skinned dolls. I want to move to a question. What is the key to a successful
marriage . Well, if you ask mary j. Blige, it has nothing to do with its not it has nothing to do with what weve always heard. It is not about having any friends of the opposite sex. The grammy award winner said in an interview that she wont allow her husband to have any friends who are women. And she cant have any who are men. Angela . Do you agree with this . I agree with everything that mary j. Ever says. But this . Im not crazy but this is crazy. Im not married so maybe i dont know any better. But this seems a little outrageous. I have a lot of guy friends who are trusted comfort dantes and we dont cross any boundaries. Thats probably because youre too good for them. I fresh compliment, thank you. This i think thats too much. Lets call this one. Lets call it what it is. This is about sex, sex, sex, nothing more, nothing less. Everybody wants to have sex with every else. Mary j. Doesnt want her husband to have sex with anyone but her. Possibly. I can tell you, it is about sex. This is about cheating. 53 dont be horrified. This happens, you know. This is politics nation. Well, this is polisex nation tonight. Get him whoa put on a suit and tie and come out here. Mary j. Blige does not want her husband to have girl friends because she doesnt want him to be tempted. If it is anything more than that, i would like an explanation. In full disclosure, are you suggesting that you cannot have opposite sex friends without engaging in sex . Or wanting to if youre faithful to your marriage vows you cant. We cant have friends . That doesnt mean you want to go to bed with them. No. So i can sleep with whoever i want as i want. Thats why im single. Thats not why youre single. Love this guy. When we come back, im flipping this. Saturday night lives sicily will host the Correspondents Dinner. Always a fun night.

You taught senator mike lee will that deliver the spogs to president obamas state of the union response. It is expected to be the exact same text of obamas speech but delivered in this voice.

George w. Bush showed president obama, Hillary Clinton and several others pictures of his latest paintings of cats and dogs nix way, that man was our president for eight years. What do you figure this years choice . First she is wonderful. She is funny, she is diverse, she can do all sorts of different things. I like when women host the white house Correspondents Dinner. I think it is refreshing as opposed to yet another dude who thinks hes funny. Im not saying colbert isnt funny but it is good to have. Whats your favorite moment that you can think of at a white house kornlts dinner in the past . My favorite is in honor of the new Senate Majority leader, as of next congress, Mitch Mcconnell. Have a drink with Mitch Mcconnell. Thats my favorite moment. Lets see it. Some folks still dont think i spend enough time with congress. Why dont you get a drink with Mitch Mcconnell, they ask. Really . Why dont you get a drink with Mitch Mcconnell . Your favorite moment. The most exciting for me is when obama gives his speech and particularly he gave a very good reference to a tv show that were all crazy about. Do you remember this one . Im feeling sorry, believe it or not, for the speaker of the house as well. These days, the house of republicans actually gives john boehner a hard he time than they give me. Which means orange really is the new black. That was a great that was a good one. Those are fantastic. I cant top that. Speaking of women hosting correspondents, wanda sykes. She was just fantastic.
