7:37 on a wednesday morning now. the 2016 presidential campaign probably going to go down as one of the wildest and most surprising in history, ending with donald trump's surprising upset of hillary clinton. >> it was a race she was sure she would win, she says so in her new book called "what happened" and secretary clinton is here with us now. her first live interview since election day. secretary clinton, good morning. >> good morning.

>> appreciate it. i gave birth and after they come to you, how is your pain, one to ten, how is your pain so how is your pain. how is your pain? how are you doing in. >> it's gone down the scale. i mean, it's probably 25r when the election ended in such a surprising and -- and for me a distressing way, but part of what has happened over the last month for me was writing a book that gave me a chance to look at every that happened, you know. what i did, what i could have done better, what my campaign could have done better but also these forces at work during the election and still at work when you think about russia and other places that are of concern to me. so, it was cathartic, and i feel, you know, here i am, and i hope that people will find it useful and informative. >> cathartic is an interesting word because people are using words to describe this book that they don't normally use in association with you.

unrestrained, very candid. people say you've taken your political straightjacket off and been unleashed a little bit to say what you really wanted to say. did you view it as a historic document, or did you view it as kind of a literary version of a cleanse for you? >> matt, both. i really saw it as both personal and historical. it started out for me trying to just come to grips with what happened, and to be as candid as i could with myself, that's where it had to start, but then also to look at it in a historic frame and say, you know, what was at work here? in addition to the mistakes that i made, which i recount in the book, what about endemic sexism and miso.j.gy, not just in our politics but society. what about the unprecedented action of the fbi director and

what about a adversary nation to turn or tilt the out come of the election, voter suppression, things that are just as important today as they were a year ago. >> and if we put all the factors that we laid out in a pie chart. >> right. >> what's the biggest chunk? what's the biggest cause of your loss. what part is comey, what mart is russia, what part is you? >> i think the determination factor was the intervention by comey on october 28. as i write in the book and i could have put much more into the book and independent observers like nate silver and others say, yes, but for that intervention i would have won, but it stopped my momentum. it drove voters from me who understandably. this is not about the voters who were saying, well, wait. what does this mean and how do i evaluate it? so i think that in terms of my personal defeat was the most important factor. >> can i just ask you. that was 11 days before the election. >> yes, it was, matt. >> if we had been privy to be at your kitchen table. >> right, right. >> when you heard the announcement that james comey

was saying we're back looking at these e-mails what, words came out of your mouth? be specific? >> well, specifically i write about it in the book because i learned about it on the campaign plane, and i was stunned, to be honest. i didn't know what to think about it because i knew there was nothing there, and we had trouble finding out what was really going on. and so i was just dumbfounded. i thought what is he doing? the investigation was closed. i know there's no new information. i certainly have given anything of any relevance to them, and then it became clear this was not necessary. he could have called me up. he could have called others involved up and said, hey, can we look at this new stuff just to make sure it's stuff we've seen before. absolutely, have at it. but no, he had to write letters to congress which immediately were leaked, so i feel very strongly that he went way beyond his role in doing what he did.

>> listen, some people say that he kind of indicted you in the court of public opinion, and you certainly repay the favor in some sense in this book. you're pretty tough on comey, and people can read about it and draw their own conclusions, but i think matt and i both reading the book was thinking what was his motive then? was he out to get you? did he want trump to be elected? what's the motive there? >> i searched really hard for that kind of understanding, and i didn't find it, and what really was shocking to me is that when it finally became clear that there was an ongoing investigation into the trump campaign and associates for potential connections with russia, we didn't know about that before the election, and even after the election when he was asked, well, why didn't you tell the american people about that, that would have been an important issue? he said, oh, it was too close to the election. now, try to square that. i don't understand it. >> you point out that double

standard on a number of occasions. you say direct comey shivved you. another area where you seem to come close to drawing a conclusion but you stop just at the line is russia. >> right. >> you shay there's so many coincidences, so many connections between people in the trump campaign and russia, but you stopped short of saying this, and i'm asking you if you will. do you think that the trump campaign with the knowledge of the now president colluded with russia and stole this election? >> matt, i can't say that. that's what this investigation is to determine. what i try to do in the book is to put forth all the information that i think should trouble americans, whether you're republicans or democrats or anything else. my book, manuscript was turned in at the end of june, earl el july. lots has happened since then. >> has it led you more in the direction of collusion? >> it has suggested to me that there was certainly, we know, a

plan from putin and the level -- and the highest levels of the kremlin to influence our election. we now know that it was everything from facebook ads and phony people acting like americans who were russians. we know so much more than we did even when i turned the manuscript in, and we know that there was communication. that certainly has come out, and we know that there was a lot of interesting coincidences, if you will, between what people associated with trump were saying at the time and what later came to pass. i mean, had you trump associates saying in august, oh, john podesta is going to end up in the barrel. well, how would he have known that? the russians hacked those e-mails. they stole them. let me just quickly say though that getting to the bottom of this, which i hope everybody agrees we must. if i had been elected and this had come to light. if i had known once i walked

into the oval office what we now know i would have stopped at nothing to make sure this never happened again to anybody. >> can we talk about another issue you raise in the book. you talk about sexism. >> i do. >> you talk about misogyny and i don't have to tell you as a female in public life, something that a lot of female political candidates try not to talk about when they are running for office and yet here you are and you lay it out. i was thinking this country did elect an african-american president twice. do you think it's harder for americans to elect a woman than it is an african-american man? >> i think there's a lot of evidence, a lot of research supporting the idea that race is a much more motivating factor for voters than gender, is and -- and, you know, i write in the book about an incredible conversation i had with cheryl sand de sandberg who has done so much work to untangle what it really is, what you have to do to be

effective and what is tinged not to be determined as sexism. she says the research is absolutely clear. the more professionally successful a man becomes, the more likable he is. the more professionally successful a woman becomes, the less likable she is, and the more a woman is in service for someone else, you know, when i was secretary of state, i came out of that job with i think a 69% approval rating because i was in service to my country it. i was in service to our president. i was proud to do it, but when a woman walks into the arena and says i'm going for this myself, it really does have a dramatic effect on how people perceive. >> this word like habel is such a simple word and that's very complex. i remember 2008 during one of the debates with obama where he made the famous comment, hillary, you're likable enough. you write in the book about trying to come to terms with this idea that there are a lot of people in this country who simply don't like you, not for political reasons, but it seems

more personal reasons. >> mm-hmm. >> at this stage in your life does even having to ask yourself the question of why hurt? >> no, it doesn't, matt, because, see, i think they are tangled. you know, when i'm serving in an office as i said like secretary of state, i have really high favorability ratings, but as i write in the book, you know, i have been, and i admit this, you know, in the christ storm for a very long time in american public life an i have a lot of stuff that's been thrown hat me year after year, and i have tried to overcome it, stay focused on the job, do the best i could to help people which is really why i'm motivated in this, and -- and i write about how -- like today the benghazi tragedy. you know, i have one of the top republicans, kevin mccarthy, admitting, like we're going to take that tragedy, because we've lost people, unfortunately, going back to the reagan

administration if you talk about recent times in diplomatic attacks, but, boy, it was turned into a political football, and it was aimed at undermining my credibility, my record, my accomplishments, and, you know, i get why people will say, well, hey, you know, there's all this noise around her all the time, and some of it is of my own doing. i mean, i'm a person, i know that, but a lot of it is for whatever reason the idea among some that i really do take seriously the threat posed from the right to this country, to our economic equality, to our civil rights. i take it really seriously. it's not -- it's not just a political issue for me, and they are constantly trying to undermine me. >> we're going to get cut off by a computer commercial here in a second. can i invite to you stick around for a few more minutes in hour next half hour. >> certainly. >> we'll continue our discussion

appreciate it. >> appreciate it. >> fans of yours i think are looking at this book, and they are saying this is a frank assessment, and this is a much-needed discussion of the 2016 election. foes of yours are probably saying oh, here she ghost. she's pointing fingers. she's whining. there's a lot of criticism in this book and effort of full disclosure you criticized me pretty soundly in a few pages of this book. when it comes to the self-inflicted wound, when you look at list of them, and you go through them in the book, did you make enough mistakes yourself to lose the election without any of the other things you talk about? >> well, i will say no matt. i don't think that will surprise you. also this, book has a lot of behind-the-scenes look at what it's like to run for president, particularly, again, as a would. so it's not all the sad side or disappointment that obviously kaim because we lost and especially somewhat bitterly because we won the popular vote so significantly.

this is also a lot of the fun times, a lot of the pride that i took in running this campaign. there were frustrating moments and i do write about sornlgs and i personally believe that our press, which is such an essential part of our country, our democracy, has to take some hard look at how it covered what was the first reality tv candidate, and i understand how difficult that was. >> you said the media made an absurd circus out of the campaign. >> yeah, right. i think that was from my perception, but in looking at a lot of the post-analysis from independent groups, that seems to be i think a fair assessment overall because we're living in a 24/7 news world, and people are saying things all the time. how do you fact check what everybody says? how do you get a sense of, you know, what's important compared to, you know, what's diversionary?

so, you know, in the book i write about some of what kept me going even though it was a challenging time. that story of resilience of how you get knocked down and get back up, that's a part of it as well. >> we talked about the tone of that book and it's hillary unvarnished, unplugged, unleashed. and in that spirit we wanted to do a lightning round look at some of the things that happened during the campaign and after. >> real quick take. when you heard the news that james comey had been fired by president trump, what was your immediate reaction? >> he was fired for the wrong reason. >> but should have been fired? >> he should not have been fired for russia. he should have been disciplined, whether or not fired, that's not for me to say, but he should have been disciplined for the way that he behaved on the e-mail investigation and in fact the deputy attorney general, backed by the attorney general of this administration, laid out in excruciating detail all of the protocols and rules that he broke, but >> when he testified before congress and asked whether he thought he had an impact on the

election he said it made him mildly nauseous. >> you write it made me sick to hear that because, of course, he did, and, look, absent that and i believe the evidence shows i would have won. were this headwinds, yes. were there lots of other issues with the interference in rush, absolutely, but the role he played historically was determinative. >> and you know that your detractors would say wait a minute. this is a republican candidate with historically low approval ratings. how could you have lost to him? why was it ever that close where these kinds of headwinds? every campaign is tough. >> right. >> how is this that you could lose to donald trump? >> well, i would say i lay out the reasons why i think that happened in the book, but all of our elections are close, and once he won the republican primary and defeated i think 16 other candidates. he was going to get the mart san

vote of reapians. he got about 90% of the republican vote and i got 90% of the democrat votes and we know these elections are close hand what matters is what happens hon margins. according to the comey letter, according to the most recent poll, i was 26 points ahead in the philadelphia suburbs. that meant women, republicans and independent women were going to vote for me or they were telling pollsters that. i won by 13 points, so my lead was cut in half. nothing else happened between, you know, that time or that poll and the election other than the comey letter, and i understand why voters would be shaken by it, and we didn't have time to recover from it. >> a couple of quick takes on some things that have been in the news lately. this meeting that donald trump jr. had at trump tower, paul manafort was there, jared kushner was there. there was a russian government attorney or a russian government attorney connected to the government. it was now promised he would

receive dirt on you. we were told that was about russian adoptions. he said i love the fact that this could be about dirt. he now says he was trying to learn about your fitness for office. what's your immediate reaction in. >> it's ridiculous. it's another absurd lie to cover up what really was going on which i hope we finally uncover and understand. >> donald trump, when you hear -- you just walked into our newscast and a few minutes ago and say president trump this, president trump that. when you hear that, president trump, does it -- what visceral reaction do you have? >> well, he is the president. i respect, you know, the fact that, you know, he is the president. i just wish that he were the president for all americans. i wish that he was not engaging in a lot of the scapegoating and behavior in office that i think is bad for the country. >> go ahead, sorry. >> just ten seconds left. if this -- we're nine months into the presidency now, if donald trump and hillary clinton were on the ballot again, would

you win? >> oh, i don't know. i think there's at least a 50-50 chance i would, but before we go i want to give you a copy of my children's book that's out, "it takes a village" and it's to vale and charlie, "princesses wear pants" and some day i hope someone will write a book "presidents wear dress" and we'll get it done. there's all kinds of cross-promotion going on here. i don't know what to say. we appreciate you spending the time hand her book is "what happened." >> thank you, thank you both. >> and we'll send it over to al. >> i have a children's book about extreme weather just out today, really do. we'll being at the nbc experience store at 10:30 signing it. come on by. it will be absolutely fantastic. wow, that was shameless. let's see what's going on. so proud. hot hand humid down in florida. remnant showers from irma making its way through the ohio river vale and cooling off in the pacific northwest and sunshine

go back to normal i guess, and, you know, my heart is still there and i will say, i say my prayers every single night, and at first it was i'm praying for the folks affected by harvey and now add irma to the top of the list because a lot of people were affected. >> when you guys were standing there, and i wonder, too, you're standing there with lester and you say everything is evacuated. the hotels are evacuated and i'm thinking like where are they going to go, and if the storm is coming and coming your way, where do you go? >> well, we were very fortunate in that, you know, we were able to find places that allowed us to stay, you know. when we were in ft. myers, i'm not going to mention the name of the hotel and they were very nice and we're worried about liability issues. >> sure. >> but they opened up their doors for us and let us stay as long as they could. same thing in tampa, and i can say the hilton was supposed to be in the evacuation zone and they were taken out of it so they became not just for us but for cruise ships and all these

other folks, airport folks, who had to -- and evacuees who had no place to go, they opened up their doors and had people staying. >> what about your equipment. it was hard for me to keep up on social media. you had satellite dishes and a all sorts of random things. >> first time i've ever seen this, had a satellite dish and the wind was blowing so much that it literally folded up the dish. >> always our concern when you have these big satellite dishes that can act like sails almost, and you think they can withstand it. >> one of the more bizarre moments, you know, non-threatening was that effect where the -- the low pressure of the system is so intense it actually sucks out the water, and we saw it. >> you were in tampa bay when that happened. >> we first saw it in the bahamas and long island and then in key largo where people were walking out on to the -- which i would not do. >> i wouldn't do that either. the water is not gone for good. >> it was cool.

people saw it and thought this is cool. >> this is cool, and i'm thinking -- it would be my luck and i step out and it would be like woosh. >> parting like the red sea. that's what i picture. >> that's the phenomenon people say that that was actually the parting of the red sea and before anybody calls and says you're discounting god's work. god created nature so that's what was done. >> that's what it was though. you could see -- >> parts of the river. >> amazing. >> the hillsboro river that goes into tampa bay, you could actually see it. >> and you saw boats sitting on just a sandy bottom of the bay. >> wow. >> because all the water was sucked out from underneath. meet logically the storm was as impressive as it gets from a hurricane standpoint. >> and you were driving around. >> i was -- you know, i was kind of the advanced team, i guess. we were kind of always staying just a little bit ahead of the storm to be in the next location for the next morning and there were some points where you drove to the point where your wipers don't even go fast enough. i mean, this was actually once

we got to jacksonville, this was the st. john's river. >> that looks like an ocean. >> oh, my goodness. >> and the water was crashing in waves up across parts of the buildings, and people are coming out to take it all in saying i've never in my life ever seen something like this before because it's never risen that high. historic levels. >> one of the things that keeps you going is messages from home. >> i'm going to be honest. as a meteorologist i understand the situation, you know. i'm not a storm chaser of tornadoes. i understand that that is out of my comfort zone and i'm not going to chase a storm because i know the danger of it, and going into at the time a category 5 hurricane, even if it weakened to a category 4 i really didn't know what to expect with 150-mile-per-hour winds. are we staying in a hotel safe enough? i had visions of putting my mattress up against the window. ended up moving ahead of the storm and i texted brian and said i'm scared. i'm actually kind of scared. i know i'm with a good crew and with a good team of people and

we'll keep each other safe and i sent him this and said i've got a lot back home. with calvin now i do get nervous being out on the road and his response is you're smart, you're athletic and i believe in you 100%. if you can give birth you can handle anything. >> wow. >> it gave me that boost i needed. i knew i had my heart at home and i was there. we ended up being very, very safe. >> not to take anything away, but he sent me that same message. >> he does have kind of a man crush on you. you hold a special place in his heart. if he makes a joke to you and you laugh, like when you go in for nightly. he'll say i made al laugh today. >> i love your husband. he's a great guy. >> not a fan of his wardrobe, but you like him as a person. >> nobody's perfect. >> he's a great camera guy. >> we're not paying him to be well dressed. he doesn't have to be matt lauer. he just has to be in focus. >> great having you guys back,

ahh. >> kind of like chesney, dresses well but not so much in focus. >> now see, al. >> i think he looks great. >> he does look good. >> al's back, yes. >> like everybody is back. >> i love this next story. >> yes. this is good. reese witherspoon, her gift to her daughter. we all know sometimes it's hard to give the perfect gift, especially to teenagers. reese witherspoon for her daughter, for ava's 18th birthday the hollywood starlet wrote a letter. >> which is which? >> you're right. >> who says starlet anymore. >> i saw that and said it anyway. you know why, because i feel like if anybody is going to be a starlet it would be reese. >> like a small star. >> i literally saw the word and i felt like it was fitting for her. >> she's a starlet. >> she is a starlet. >> when you talk about movie stars, julia roberts is a movie star, a starlet.

>> tinkerbell. >> which is in your book. >> exactly. >> have you a book. >> i love a sprite. >> can i talk about what she did. her daughter turned 18th. back to the fantastic picture. get this, every year when her daughter -- every year when her daughter -- anyway, she wrote a letter to her daughter every year, and then when she was 18 show presented her daughter with 18 letters. >> brilliant. >> she kept them. >> i love that. >> it captures all the feelings that reese was feeling at that particular time. >> at that time. >> which is such a good idea. >> you still have time. >> i have time to do that. >> i'm 100% going to do it. >> for the rest of us who were slackers. now i feel like such a schmoe. >> brian said you're smart, athletic. >> exactly. i've written a bunch of notes to the kids because i'm never there in the morning for breakfast. >> yeah. >> you know, during the week, and -- and leila has been saving them. i did not realize that, and she's like i didn't know when to

throw them away. i didn't want you to find them in the garbage. >> that's the sweetest thing. i regret, thinking about this this morning when we were talking about it. i had a little school book so i still use it now, used it yesterday, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, save one picture and it had a little fold earl and save each things from each year. >> like a trapper keeper. >> so i have still have this big binder. trapper keepers, but i haven't done that for my kid, but there is still plenty of time, just have to round up photos. >> there's plenty of time until there isn't. >> you actually have to do it. >> and not that -- it goes by so fast. i know i'm not telling you anything you don't know. >> yeah. >> but i'm still processing the idea that i've got a 30-year-old who is in the working world as a chef. >> you have an adult. >> i've got an adult, yeah. i'm not kidding, sweetie. i've got a college freshman and had a high school freshman, and it's like almost yesterday that they were toddlers. >> what was the most thoughtful gift they ever gave you?

>> ah, i'm trying to think. you know what. they have actually written really heartfelt notes. >> something to be said about pen on paper. >> i'm going to steal that, like i think that's a good idea. sometimes -- >> i don't know if it will mean as much to you as it does to me. oh, i see. >> we should all do that. you're very good at writing letters and actually putting stamp on it and putting it in the mail. >> not so good at getting the right addresses. >> don't worry. >> i sent a couple of notes to adam miller and i got them back. one was like three weeks ago. >> oh, no. >> how many times are you writing adam? >> actually we're pen pals. >> actually 14-year-old girls. >> okay. text me later. >> my brother is -- he had to spend the summer in texas away from his family. he's got a 5-year-old at home and a 15-year-old. >> wow. >> and he's in the military so

he's been, you know, kind of hold up in texas for a little while and i decided, you know what, i'm going to write him a letter so i wrote him a four-page letter of what i was thinking at the time. i was actually in between commercials on the saturday morning "today" show. >> almost like something, she's writing. what are you doing, i'm writing my brother a letter and it was a script and i like that even more because you're thinking about him while you're working. >> and i was thinking about it and he said it meant so much. texted me back to get a handwritten letter. >> people used to write handwritten letters and there used to be a song in the '60s, i'm going to sit right down and write a letter and make believe it came from you. >> oh, that's good. >> sad song. >> write somebody a letter today. >> so we closed our "today's take" contest yesterday and i'm told choosing a winner is not easy. >> there were creative videos. >> 500 submissions or more from amazing numbers of you. we picked our cohost for tomorrow. drum roll, please.
