a critical problem that, of course, we have seen is impacting other cities like new york and other places across the country, a result of the pandemic, the economy, the aftermath of protests over racial injustice and police brutality, philadelphia's mayor says the city is on track to remove more than 6,000 guns off the street and is also investing millions of dollars in crime reduction and prevention. jim kenney saying this in a statement, as we close in on the end of a year where we saw unprecedented levels of shootings and homicides, part of a disturbing trend nationwide, i want all residents to know our administration takes this crisis very seriously and we continue to act with urgency to reduce violence and save lives. city leaders and community activists stressing though that every number, brianna, is a life, hoping, hoping, hoping that will resonate with the public. >> let's hope. all right, brynn gingras, thank you for that. >>> coming up, congresswoman lauren boebert implying one of her colleagues is a suicide bomber. truly how low can it go? and just in, ukraine's president is no

york city in new jersey. and they have a lot in common that are sort of a telltale sign. >> dana, as you guys know, the battle in american politics, like in electoral politics, has been the battle over america's suburbs. that's the period of america's politics we're in. and that's sort of the swing areas that we look at and a lot of critical contests. that is what new jersey and virginia have in common. they are big suburban states. there are lots and lots of suburban vote in these states. and what we saw in virginia in the exit polls tonight is that youngkin won the suburbs, by the way, we say 60% of the vote was from the suburbs. it's categorized, but by six points. just a year ago, also they made up 60% of the vote. joe biden won the suburbs by eight points. that is a 14-point swing in the opposite direction! that's the story of what we're seeing tonight in these two states. >> this is also a story about race, right? we talk about the suburbs, about 70% white. if you see a lot of these vote who have switch

this is new york. city council is controlled by the gay community. >> but ritchie's mind was made up. he would run as a gay man. how did that feel to come out to the world? >> i felt -- you know, you can only live a lie for so long. in order to be fully human, in order to be fully self-actualized, you have to be honest about something as fundamental as your sexual identity. and not only did i win, but i won so decisively that i sent him into retirement. >> ritchie's community supported him for seven years in the city council. then in 2020, they sent him to congress. he's one of the first openly gay black representatives, the sort of role model he so deeply needed as a kid. >> none of us should be denied accommodations and services simply because of who we are and because of whom we love. we are equal by nature, and we ought to be equal by law. >> living here in washington, d.c., what is it like to be in this city where there was literally a witch hunt for gay people for many, many years? >> i feel deep

joining me now, the authors of that op-ed, andrew stein, former president of the new york city council and mark penn, former adviser to president bill clinton and hillary clinton. so, mark, what can president biden, what can joe biden learn from the 1990s? not that he wasn't there, but what can he learn from the clinton administration? >> well, i don't think he'll go back and promise a balanced budget as we did. that ship has sailed. but with today's numbers, you can see that he better give some quick attention here to the bread and butter issues. he can't put in policies that raise gas prices, raise food prices, he's going to have to back off those policies, understand and put them in the context of the situation and move more step by step brunging the public with him. >> i'm curious what you think that means specifically. because some people look back to the clinton administration and the focus turned to things like school uniforms, which people think are trite. but in terms of priorities, what to you think joe biden should focus on now? >> i think joe biden has to realize that joe m

york city. so polo, what are you seeing there? >> natasha, the reality, we're feeling the pain at the pump or higher food prices. we're all seeing that here, and of course, you have inflation, and of course, you also have disruptions in supply chains that are big factors in all this. that means many of the nation's some of their soup kitsches are getting hit particularly hard. we'll give you an example, the bowery mission in new york city, that has been sheltering and feeding needy families for well over 100 years, i spoke to some of the folks here. they took us inside, preparing for one of the busiest times of the year, in this case, thanksgiving, as they prepare to take some of the families in. it's still unclear whether some of those are key factors and some of the challenges they're facing, but at the end of the day, they still have to cover lot more ground, help a lot of people with fewer resources. some of their partners, some of their crucial partners that donate a lot of resources and fo

. >> you know, bernard kerik, who was a former police commissioner of new york city, participated in a meeting at the willett hotel, put out a statement tonight saying he was not hired -- i will not be silenced at the hands of this committee who are now looking for the truth -- excuse me -- are not looking for the truth but targeting patriots and members of the president's legal team. okay. so is kerik in any position to play hardball with this committee? >> not really. not really. he does enjoy a pardon from trump that eased his life up a little bit, but he really can't bully this committee. they have every right to get these facts. it's one of the most important things congress does is information gathering, and there couldn't be more important information, don, than an insurrection, a threat to overturn a legitimate election. so getting to the bottom of this, he has no basis. all he has to do is cooperate, and it won't cost him anything. it won't bankrupt him. just show up for his deposition and tell the truth. >> what key questions do you have for all these trump aides, people li
