it the place they're going to put their stake in but then they work for the american government. that's to my mind an even higher order of devotion to the united states. and to have these people have their patriotism criticized and have right-wing talk show hosts saying when will some real american testify -- >> that's horrible. >> fareed zakaria, great to have you with us and we're glad you're american by choice. the news continues and i hand it over to chris for "cuomo prime time." >> j.b., my man, have a great weekend. welcome to "prime time" we have two big truth bombs to unpack with you. you know how potus and pals were screaming just yesterday that the inspector general found proof that the russia probe was just a hoax? why are they so quiet now? wait until you hear about what he concluded about the idea of a deep state hoax.

the right's silence, deafening. and there could be another reason that republican devin nunez, the ranking member of the intel committee is quiet tonight. we have another big exclusive. guess who he reportedly met with and who he was purportedly looking for dirt on. then we have a third exclusive to talk about all the news, we have former representative katie hill with us tonight. does she regret her resignation? what comes next? now that's how we start friday night around here. let's go after it. when it comes to russian interference and any allegationallegation stemming from it, trump and co always have the same defense. >> for the last three years, they're deep state cronies. the fake news media, they've been colluding in their effort

to overturn the presidential election. >> and the deep state are desperate to stop us. now we're being hindered by the russian hoax. it's a hoax. >> when it was reported there had been an error in the fisa warrant, they were all saying told you so and praising the truthful report. in fact, over there someone is probably spouting off about it right now. but i guarantee you they're not telling you what else is in that report. and none of it is good for their dark intentions to disparage our department of justice. the report by the inspector general is not due out until next month but cnn has sources familiar with it telling them very important things. yes, we don't cherry pick here. there was improper handling of a page in a fisa warrant by lower level employees at the fbi, one of them a form are lawyer, now under criminal investigation after allegedly altering a

document related to the 2016 surveillance of carter page. but here's what you have not and likely will not hear anywhere on the right as soon or as loudly as you did about that. deep state conspiracy? the inspector general says no. the report takes an exhaustive look at whether there was any political bias by the fbi and d.o.j. that went into the launching of the investigation. the answer -- no. did the top brass abuse their powers? did they use surveillance by the u.s. government to improperly monitor carter page, a former low-level trump campaign staffer? the answer -- no. did they follow all the correct procedures? did they follow the highest ethical standards necessary for such an important investigation? also the answer will be shocking to trump defenders. let's bring cuomo's court into session with elliott williams

and jim schultz. thank you both. if i don't get to see you, have a great thanksgiving. thank you for helping my audience. i'm thankful for both of you. jimmy, yesterday when we found out that one of the documents -- now, we haven't seen the report but the sourcing is good. some lawyer at the fbi did something wrong with a document in one of the fisa applications on carter page such that they're going to do a criminal investigation on him, okay? him or her. i don't know who it is. okay. the rest of the report we're told shows no deep state, no hoax, no political bias, no mismanagement, no malfeasance by anybody, no hoax. what do you say now? >> so i think "the new york times" and everyone else needs to take a breath here for one reason alone. you have to understand -- >> wait a minute. wait a minute. wait a minute. i'm going to let you go. you weren't saying take a breath yesterday. you guys were breathless about

this one document in the fisa proving it was a hoax. >> i'm never breathless about anythi anything. >> blue as your tie. go ahead. >> here what's you have. when these investigations are conducted and they're coming to a close and there's a report ready to be issued, what happens is is that the report goes to individuals and only portions of the report that go to individuals who may be implicated in that report so that they can respond to it. my sense is that's likely how "the new york times" got read in on portions of this report because that's how these investigations typically work. so they're probably getting an incomplete picture here. i'm not saying they're wrong about some of the clouonclusion they are may be right. maybe cnn is the same way. i don't know what your source is. i guarantee you you're not getting a full report because the only way is through the

inspector general's office and i guarantee you horowitz is running a professional organization. >> no doubt that. about somebody did wrong on the fisa app, this were running around over there on fox, we got the details out, unveiling the hoax. now the sourcing is is that the report is overwhelming in its confirmation that everything was done right. crickets. what's your take? >> i would agree with my friend that we should wait to read the report. two things can equally be true. number one, individuals behaved in an improper way in the conduct of an investigation, number one. and, number two, that broadly speaking the legal underpinnings of the investigation are still sound. those two things can equally be true. if people behaved improperly and "the new york times" has reported that at least one low-level fbi official did, i'll

be the first person to say that person ought to be dealt with, number one -- >> i started the report with it tonight. >> you did. and that person should be suspended, terminated, fired, whatever it is. and i'm here for it. we're in agreement about that. now, the underlying investigation, every indication is that it was sound and that a lot of these conspiracy theories about the deep state taking over and sort of a lot of the bases that conservatives have pointed to saying the individual who was one of the sources was an fbi informant, that's been debunked by the report. the idea that the steele dossier is likely being debunked. people behaved badly and should be dealt with but the report is sound and has been affirmed by every member of the intelligence

committee that looked at this has found that russia attempted to ent fe interfere in our elec and that the trump campaign was willing to accept that help. >> i'm a journalist. i've spent most of my career side ways with the institution of the government especially when it comes to investigations. they doesn't give us information, they never close the cases we're the ones who are usually saying boy, this fbi, man, it is hard working with them. and you guys were always the ones saying, hey, respect the institutions of government. now out of political convenience, we just sat through a week of hearings where they're making fun of pop becaueople be they're not american enough, they're not patriots, maybe we should question their loyalty. bashing the russia probe was done out of political, pe expedience. doesn't that sicken you as a republican? >> so, look, the whole idea that

just because -- there were a group of individuals that are named -- that are likely to be named in this report, right, and those groups of individuals, you know, were shown to or there will be evidence that they had some political bias. there's no question about that. >> the report shows we are told -- >> their decision making -- >> the report shows it didn't impact. everybody's got bias. we're human beings. >> every time the republicans do something and they say, well, that's because they're politically biased. all of a sudden -- >> no, i said they're doing it out of political advantage. >> something being wrong, chris, this is your words and it being unlawful, their conduct may very well have been wrong but not unlawful. i think we got to wait to see. >> let me make a personal point. i worked at a political appointee at ice in a democratic administration for five years. you can't tell me that the rank and file at that agency were not

overwhelmingly opposed to frankly the president, many of the folks who were agents and officers there, conservative and leaning and opposed to the president and frankly even post to my own management of where i was in the agency but were still agent to do their jobs. now, if people did cross the line into impermissible behavior, violating the law, they should be prosecuted. here it could be perjury, false statements, falsifying records, whatever. but the idea that the mere existence of people who disagreed with the president somehow tainted an entire major investigation that -- look, fiona hill's testimony yesterday debunks this cuckoo notion that ukraine attempted -- was attempting to meddle in american elections and it's just not true. >> guys, i appreciate you weighing in on this. of course we got to read the report. the reason i'm anxious to take the sourcing is not to play to advantage, it's to play to the truth. we have to stop empowering lies

that are just calculated for political advantage. left and right has to focus on the reasonableness of fact. had this report comes out and says it wasn't a hoax, people who have been calling it a hoax have to be called out. that's why i'm getting it started early because we got the sourcing. jimmy, elliott, thank you both. have a great weekend. >> thank you, chris. happy thanksgiving. >> thank you. >> it seems the only conspiracy that we really know about involving the d.o.j. was the one by this president's pals to trash that institution out of political convenience. not bias, convenience. we have more on the truth that is expected to blow up a lot of what the right has been selling you. that is just a taste of what we know from the report. we've worked it all through for you. judge for yourself next.

hoax, huff and puff, we're going to investigate the investigators, this is being spread to cover up this perfect's perfidy and abuse from him and those around him, those in and out of jail. the long-awaited report into the investigators by the inspector general, we're now getting reporting on it due out next month. we are told it will clear the fbi and d.o.j. of wrong doing. fbi, what do we mean? comey, mccabe, strzok. yeah, the guy with the text. they get cleared of wrong doing. we don't cherry pick here. yes, there's a finding in the report that the right was jumping up and down about. i don't know why they were so excited to find out about bad behavior in the fbi but they were. there's some low-level fbi lawyer who appears to have messed were a document in the cart are page source request.

it doesn't appear to have changed the fisa am kapplicatio. you see what i'm holding in my hand? 412 pages of the only document of its kind our government has ever released. this is the fisa warrant approving the surveillance of an american citizen, okay? you see it? we used to call this a phone book-sized document. we don't seem to have those anymore. on the front page it says it's about carter page, cart eer w. page, a u.s. person. potus's pretenders says this is about getting trump. you know what word never shows up in this telephone book sized document? trump.

paej wasn't even wo when this started, page wasn't even working for the trump campaign. if the fbi wanted to get trump, there were plenty of people closer to the then candidate, several of whom, by the way, are now convicted felons. part of the reason the top brass appears to be cleared in this report could be they actually found something. why? a fisa warrant needs to be renewed. this one with carter page was renewed repeatedly. now, to get it renewed, the fbi had to come back with new information, not once but three times because that's how many times it was renewed. once again, as every credible source has told us and now this inspector general for the d.o.j., the russia investigation was no hoax. it began with a man named george papadopoulos running his mouth about russia reaching out to help trump and they found meetings and attempts to meet with russians and wikileaks and

all sorts of poor judgment in between. mueller laid out a lot of counts of potential obstruction by the president alone and six of his guys admitted or were convicted of lying to the feds. the only hoax was potus and pals denying russian interference because they thought it made his win look illegitimate and it doesn't. his people lied. they broke laws. they tried to get close to the guys for dirt and the president went so far as to do this embarrassing turn on the world stage. >> i have president putin, he just said it not russia. i will say this. i don't see any reason why it would be. >> he was standing right next to putin, helsinki, world stage, embarrassed the entire intelligence community, made the country second to his own political interests talk about hoax? go no further than this

president's promise to bring us only the best. and it gets even more wild. look at this. this look, boy, is he sick of hearing it. that became the poster for republican disgust at the flow of testimony that potus and pal were out for dirt on the bidens nunez couldn't stand it, connor mcdavid tan it. but he sure could contain his knowledge about those efforts. we have new reporting that mr. nunez allegedly knew a lot who are than he was letting on. a lot who are. our in-house investigator on the case, wivicky ward next. your sl. can it help us fall asleep faster? yes, by gently warming your feet. but can it help keep us asleep? absolutely, it intelligently senses your movements and automatically adjusts to keep you both effortlessly comfortable. so you can really promise better sleep. not promise. prove. and now during the ultimate sleep number event, save 50% on the sleep number 360 limited edition smart bed.

all right. this is very important. we all saw how ardently devin nunez defended the president during the impeachment hearings, pivoting and pointing to the bidens. >> no conspiracy theory is too outlandish for the democrats. >> you would think they would take some interest in burisma and you would think they would be interested in joe biden. we need to subpoena hunter biden. >> i think one of the mothers of all conspiracy theories is that somehow the president of the united states would want a country that he doesn't even like, he doesn't want to give foreign aid to have the ukrainians start an investigation into bidens. >> now, remember what he just said, okay, that he cannot accept the idea that the president would want ukraine to be looking in to the bidenswhy would he cast so much doubt on an idea that potus had it out

for the bidens and was trying to use ukraine to do it when he is now allegedly a part of those efforts? let's bring in vicky ward right now. she's got the reporting. now, let's be very clear. we understand from mr. lev parnas' lawyer, the man under indictment with doing certain things with campaigns and working with rudy giuliani, maybe paying rudy giuliani for certain other things, his lawyer, what is he saying? >> so his lawyer says that lev parnas would like to come and speak to congress and that he would say to congress were he given the opportunity that last december devon nunes, the senior republican presiding over the impeachment hearings went to vienna and met with victor shokin. >> the person who was the prosecutor for you're crane that ukraine and everybody in the

united states wanted out for not investigating corruption. >> correct. and who was fired in 2016 under pressure by many western leaders, including our then vice president joe biden. he has an ax to grind against the bidens. victor shokin is the man who has climbed to have dirt on joe and hunter biden. he has claimed to have evidence that ukraine meddled in our election. >> reportedly met with rudy giuliani. rudy giuliani wanted to get him a pass to come to the united states and it was denied. >> absolutely correct. >> next big question. how do we know nunes met with shokin? >> it gets interesting. shokin tess lev parnas, rudy giuliani's associate who is ukraine born, and what's interesting is that nunes comes back and tries to recruit lev parnas. he does recruit lev parnas to

merge his effort, his and rudy giuliani's investigations with his. he has an aide meet with lev parnas and they discuss how to reach out to various ukraine prosecutors who might have information on the bidens. >> hold on a second. this is a lot. so devin nunes at the hearing saying this is crazy that the president would want ukraine to look bidens. the prosecutor, who was at the center of all the controversy, met with nunes in vienna last december. so before all this other is it stuff that they're saying was just about one call -- >> way before. >> shokin tells parnas, the shady guy at the center of all of this and nunes' staffer meets with palev parnas?

>> so does nunes. >> several times. er that ask-- they're asked to merge operations this whole impeachment is about a shadow foreign policy that devin nunes appears to have some involvement in. >> so he knew it was going on, he knew they were looking for dirt on the bidens. >> he is a drama in this play himself and yet he has not told anyone about this. >> sourcing becomes everything. this comes from parnas's lawyer that this is what parnas wants to testify to. now you go the to go to nunes. what does nunes say? >> we've been trying to get in front of nunes in person. two of my colleagues went to see him on the hill. >> did they give him information about why? >> and this is word for word what nunes said -- "to be perfectly clear, i don't

acknowledge any questions from you in this lifetime or the next lifetime." >> knowing how central this consideration is to what's going on in the impeachment right now, he won't even say it's not true. >> right. >> now, viktor shokin, what is the possibility of getting to him also? >> i've got his phone number. i've reached out to him, he's not talking either. >> so they know what the allegations are. we're hanging this on parnas's lawyer. theoretically parnas is saying the same thing but you're hearing it from his lawyer. >> he has been subpoenaed. he's under indictment by the southern district so his lawyer would like him to be given essentially immunity to speak

freely. >> let's think this through. you've been thinking about this a lot with your team. why would nunes say it is preposterous or whatever word he used, ludicrous, something bad to, to think that the president would want ukraine to look into the bidens when evidently he knew rudy was looking into the bidens and trying to get ukrainians to do it and fruman are merps but they'reamerican b born. shouldn't he have exposed they went over to meet with shokin? >> what's intriguing is the timing of the trip and his aide, derek harvey, told lef lf that the timing of it was very deliberate. it was done right after the republicans lost the house in the mid terms but before the democrats took over in january because once the democrats took over, he would have had to have

disclosed the details of it. so this is why nobody has known until now what devin nunes was doing last december. >> so we don't know that the committee was told about his actio actions. >> no. the only thing reported in the congressional record is that he and derek harvey and two other aides went to europe. >> but they don't say who they met with? >> no. and this was quite deliberate according to my reporting, according to the lawyer speaking for parnas. derek harvey, the aide, told parnas that the timing was done deliberately to keep it undercover. >> vicky ward, thank you for the reporting, thank you for working it. look, we want it fair. mr. shokin, if you're listening, tell us what happened. mr. nunes, this is about the truth. come on and tell us what happened. don't say you're not going to answer the questions, you have to. vicky ward, thank you so. appreciate it. have a very good weekend.

>> this, you cannot make it up. we are going to pick this up with a democrat who was vice chair of one of the impeachment committees but resigned amid of probe of her in congress. katie hill, still fighting back against what she calls a coordinated smear campaign to get her out. but one smear campaign at a time. we have to deal with what we just learned from vicky ward, what we learned in the inspector general report and what is the futu future, all next.

there's a lot of news tonight. this president is soon to be dpronted with the d.o.j. inspector general report that is going to make the idea that the russia probe was a witch hunt, something that can't be said with any truth to it anymore. then this big report from vicky ward coming from the lawyer of this guy lev parnas, juan of these indicted associates of giuliani that devin nunes reportedly met with this form are ukraine prosecutor at the center of all the biden scandal? let's bring in former democratic congresswoman katie hill of california. welcome back to "prime time." >> hi, how are you? >> can you believe -- help me understand this vicky ward

reporti reporting. this devin nunes, putting in the record i'm going to vienna with a couple of staffers and you don't mention you met with the guy at the center of the whole situation? >> the timing is very, very clear. he did this right after the democrats won the house and before they took control. so he could get away with this. you know, i think what this shows clearer than anything is that you do not have an unbiased, you know, set of republicans who are involved in deciding -- >> he had to know we were going to find out. it not like these players are exactly locked lipped, these guys that we're dealing with. he sat in the hearings and i don't know how much you saw, every time they bring up, the president wanted ukraine to get dirt on the bidens, he even said i can't believe you guys think this is possible when he knew damn well he was trying to, unless parnas' lawyer is lying because shokin hasn't confirmed and nunes won't answer

questions, that giuliani was trying to do it and he was trying to loop in lev parnas to get dirt on the bidens. >> i don't know if he thought he would never get found out. you know he was going to deny it until the day he dies. he's going to spin it as if this is a witch hunt on him, too. i don't think this is going to change their story regardless. this is where we're at unfortunately with republicans right now. there is zero shame in lying, just straight up lying constantly. and, you know, we saw that through the entire set of hearings. we saw that with what he's doing now and we're going to continue to see that. so we have to make sure that the american people have the facts and hopefully people are able to look into their own soul and figure out what's true or not. >> you know, my one push back is this group of republicans. because i'm sure we both know -- i got a lot of republicans in my life and they do not go for this stuff. they used to come after you guys. you don't respect institutions

enough you, don't respect the government enough. >> this is the thing that i used to be and i is itistill do sepa myself on a lot of democrats from. i'm very, very strong on national security. i come from a defense background, my brother is currently serving in the navy. that was the entire thing, how are we standing up to things like our national security when it comes to russia. >> they say the russia probe is a hobs. n -- hoax. now they say a report will come out that a low-level person messed with the fisa documentation. it supposedly concludes no hoax, not a witch hunt, that this was done with integrity. what does that mean ultimately? does it kill the russia didn't interfere b.s. once and for all

or do we still hear it? >> no, i think we're going to continue to hear it. this group of republicans in washington that have aligned themselves with the president do not care about the truth and they think that their best strategy is to just look americans directly in the eye and tell them bold faced lies and hope that they convince them. it's gas lighting plain and simple. >> they can admit what the president did was wrong, he shouldn't have involved rudy giuliani, and they can still make a good faith argument about this not being worthy of removal. >> i don't know about good faith. >> you can say it doesn't rise to the level for me because -- >> if it doesn't, then what does? is there ever going to be something that they think that congress should use its power of impeachment on? if this isn't it, then what on earth is, whether you're a democrat or republican in the white house, there has to be some kind of a line and i -- are you telling me that what bill clinton did is impeachable to

republicans but this is not? i just don't believe it. i don't buy that this is something even for a second that they truly believe is not an impeachable offense. they're just full of it. >> the best argument they have is when democrats argue you are don't get to walk away because you fail at the crime you attempt, that's true. you shoot at me and miss you don't get to go home but you don't get the death penalty either. do you think the democrats should consider a deal to shorten this process when you know you're not going to get removal? >> no, i don't think so at all. i this i whnk what we have o to in the house is there are people who have been elected like in 2018 that will show accountability. you have a house of representatives that has turned over. nunes is not the chairman, adam schiff is. the senate is full of the same republicans who will let trump or any other who they feel benefit them politically do whatever they want.

you need people with actual integrity in the senate and everywhere else. >> let's talk about you now. do you have any second thoughts about resigning? >> listen, it was the toughest decision i ever made. i know it was the right one for myself, my family, my staff. i would hate to think that i was giving them any kind of ammunition to distract from what's been going on the past few weeks and the fact that i was not there made them not have that opportunity. i feel like it was the right move. but, no, it's absolutely something that is -- >> but you cost the party, your own opportunity and it wound up becoming a flash point in terms of, well, where are we in terms of appropriate conduct and not and what we enforce and what we inform? alyssa milano is very strong on accountability on what has come under the umbrella of me too but also under the umbrella the

decency and humanity. >> i don't feel it's the right move. if katie hill were a man who was in a con sensual relationship with another man and a woman that this would be a very different outcome. >> so of course she's supporting you but she's saying that you are giving cover to people who make the wrong decisions because this is not the way it would have gone if it were a man. so you're basically reenforcing the wrong dynamic, you should have stayed and fought. >> i don't think it's reinforcing it. i think what i have to do now is figure out what my next move is to ensure the lessons learned from what happened to me are not ones that can be repeated. cyber exploitation is something that's relatively new. it has not been touched on a federal level in terms of addressing the issue. it's one i heard over and over again from young women.

even at that point i didn't fully understand. i think it's something we'll have to take on in a meaningful way and i hope that my own experiences can lend to that effort. >> will you run again? >> i'm not writing anything off. i'm not running any time soon, i can tell you that much and i'm supporting the person who is running to replace me, kristy smith, with everything i've got. >> you're not governoriiving me? >> i'm not giving you a no. >> i know it's sensitive but it's important for people to process why you did it and it's an ongoing dialogue. i'll see you soon. >> you t, too. >> our own president loves to decry anything he doesn't like as fake news. don't miss a special cnn report "all the president's lies" that airs sunday at 9 p.m. eastern.

after dr. fiona hill, both parties, and our entire intelligence community made it clear that it is russia that interfered in the 2016 election, president trump called in to fox today insisting, no, it was ukraine. >> they gave the server to crowdstrike or whatever it's called, which is a country -- a company owned by a very wealthy ukrainian. and i still want to see that server. you know, the fbi has never gotten that server. >> are you sure they gave it to ukraine? >> well, that's what the word is. >> the word? from who? the tin foil hat gang? i have known the president most of my adult life. he is neither gullible nor lacking in intelligence. you may not want to hear that, but it's true. he has to know he is pushing a hoax. he has to. and now he has all these cronies

in congress doing the same. >> what is the full extent of ukraine's election meddling against the trump campaign? >> that ukrainian officials were cooperating directly with president trump's political opponents to undermine his candida candidacy. >> there is zero proof of this assertion, and there is a ton against it. and mr. nunes knows it. they sat in these hearings completely acting as counsel for the president. zero interest in any oversight of the executive. justifying turning the victim of this alleged bribery scheme, ukraine, into a villain and giving a free pass to the tyrant who planted the idea in the first place -- putin. and they're doing it all in the name of upholding the constitution and their sworn duty of oversight. to make it all worse, if that's possible, not only are they ignoring what is right, they are empowering what they know is

wrong. sources telling cnn u.s. intelligence says these accusations of ukrainian meddling are part of a russian operation. now, to be fair, fiona hill said the same thing during her testimony yesterday. >> this is a fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the russian security services themselves. >> now, this is not the first time they've heard this. it's not like the tenth time they've heard it. how do we know? our reporting suggests that intel officials have been briefing senators and their aides for weeks about russia's years-long campaign to frame ukraine for its own hacking of the 2016 race. so think about it. a russian talking point is making its way into our president's mouth. your elected officials know it, and they're defending the talking point anyway. this is literally the answer to putin's prayers. >> translator: thank god nobody

is accusing us anymore of interfering in the elections in the united states. th now they are accusing ukraine. >> thank god. well, it's good to hear a communist sympathizer mention god in a good way, but otherwise this is zudisgusting. and these people can't claim they do this in good faith. they know they are empowering poison. they admitted it. >> i think russia is very good at influencing elections, and they do it all over the world. and, you know, it wouldn't surprise me that they'd try to do it here. it wouldn't surprise me that they'd try to break into the dnc and the rnc. they tried to do it all over the globe. they tried to do it in ukraine. >> that's right. nunes said. it russia did it not only to us but to ukraine, and he said that a month before the report from the intel community that placed blame squarely on russia. he knew what was up then, and he knows what is up now. and yet he reportedly was fishing for dirt on biden in

vienna, trying to get ukraine involved and feed this fugazi ukraine interfered narrative. nunes says he will never answer questions about this from us. he is wrong about that. you will have to account for what mr. parnas' lawyer said. you may want to help out russia, but you will not impose russia-like rules on a free press in this country. all he had to say was it's not true. i would have relayed that in any explanation you offered, but you didn't deny it. you think you're helping this president, but how can you do that by undercutting our democracy? a lot of people are choosing political favor over the facts these days. they're misleading the american people, and they're empowering a false narrative. mr. nunes exercised his legs running up to the white house to check in with sensitive information even though he was the committee chair when he was supposed to be exercising oversight and checking power. being an elected official is supposed to be an honor. those men and women should

represent the best of us, not the worst. well, your efforts are no longer in the dark. they are exposed to the light, and you know what follows the light? the heat, and that's coming soon. that's the argument. the president's predecessor has a message for some democrats worried about winning 2020. president obama, bolo, chill pill, next. the holidays are easier... when you can do this.. post this... and be there like this. so we give you that. and right now, buy a samsung galaxy s10 or note 10... and get one free.

bolo means be on the lookout. former president obama has a new message for any democrats nervous about the party's primary field. he told listeners at an event thursday, quote, everyone needs to chill out about the candidates. but gin up about the prospect of rallying behind whoever emerges from this process, and the process has a long way to go. 17 democratic candidates still vying for the nominee position.

former massachusetts governor deval patrick officially jumped into the race last week. former new york mayor michael bloomberg is taking steps towards joining. that may happen soon. who's going to be in the best position to take on the president? you tell us. be on the lookout. thank you for watching. "cnn tonight" with a huge interview and don lemon. >> yuge! who do you think he was talking about? do you think he was talking about one person, the person i'm going to interview or i interviewed? do you think he was talking about him? >> maybe. it's a tough call for the -- i know the former v.p. says he asked the former president not to endorse him. not easy to believe. >> mm-hmm. >> but the timing does matter with these kinds of things and there are lots of political calculations to be made. but i'll tell you, my friend, what an -- early thanksgiving thankful thing for you. on the night that the reporting comes out that nunes was not only aware that they were digg f
