nation now. as we all are just one minute away from the political grind. that's all for tonight. happen thanksgiving. with all due respect starts right now. >> with all due respect to president obama and his pun fest today -- >> for the past seven years i've established another tradition. embarrassing my daughters with a corny copeia of dad jokes about turkeys. >> we should all make sure we have something to eat exempt the turkeys. no way i'm cutting this habit cold turkey. >> i know. he is a lame duck. apparently also a lame turkey.

>> welcome to a very special day. tonight accusations of fraud, a top shelf culinary squad and eddie. we're pacing our intake this evening because of the brilliant chef from mission chinese, david, making his annual appearance on this set later to present his latest tryptophan laced triumph. let's start with the team. the former trump critic, nikki haley has been nominated to be the u.s.'s next u.n. ambassador. he also picked the charter school advocate to lead up the department of education and carson was reportedly asked by trump to lead to u.s. department of housing and human

development. he balked at being part of the administration but now he suddenly seems open to the idea. today carson wrote, after serious discussions with the trump transition team, i feel i can make a significant contribution, particularly making our inner cities great for everyone. an announcement is forthcoming about my role in helping to make america great again. each will need senate confirmation. the picks today, let's include carson. what do you think about those picks? the picks are an attempt to brand the presidency in a by a it is not now. i'm not sure governor haley has the experience to be an ambassador. to lead public schools the

wither on the vine and i'm really afraid of ben carson taking lead of donald trump's new deal. so it is on the whole it is a good thing. knickally haley, the u.n. ambassador is not a foreign policy job. it is mostly an advocacy job. your job is to talk to the secretary of state, talk to the secretary of defense, talk to the national security adviser, talk to the president and make a case in the united states and the u.n. to me nikki haley is adequately qual zpid could do a good job. the fact she doesn't have vast foreign policy experience, i don't find hugely problematic. it is not that different. it is a public view. not radical and not radically

different pr what we've seen from reform minded democrats. i think ben carson is the bigger problem and i want to get to what you have to say about why he worries you so much. their as we come out of these last eight years, urban america is in crisis. one of the things that we know as well. with the collapse of the housing market, particularly if black and brown communities, latinos have not bounced back in terms of homeownership so i'm really interested to see how ben carson orients himself to the fact over 240,000 homes were lost. black wealth versus white wealth. all of it has to do with that. >> you're a professor. >> that was a brilliant analysis and full of facts. my father who was a republican for his whole life until very late in life, a moderate

republican in california, decided he didn't want to vote for george w. bush because george w. bush had. that he wanted to be the commissioner of baseball more than he wanted to be president. if you want that, you should not be president. everything that ben carson has said with respect to the earlier floating of hhs. i'm not qualified. i take him at his word. a guy like that who has to be dragged kicking and screaming into running a major bureaucracy is someone i don't want to touch that bur look rasy. he didn't want and it trump has pleaded with him to take this job. he doesn't know anything about housing policy, he doesn't think he is qualified to run a department. so i'm against that appointment on those grounds. your grounds are really good grounds. my grounds are simpler. but i'll say this.

i said before that i thought it looked bad that it was a bunch of old white guys. i'm not requesting to at least give a little credit to donald trump for at least caring about making an administration that looks like america. a small piece of credit but i think it is important that we should have qualified people. you can talk about any of these individual picks and whether you think they're good or bad. but tanattentive to it that it should not be all white. >> we can talk about why it is not a good thing necessarily. it is one thing to put dark faces and women in high places. but it is another thing to think about competence. >> certainly. >> another thing to think about skill sets and the like. >> this is why i said i don't think he's right for that job.

there is some value there. if the entire administration were all white men, we would think that was a problem, right? >> yeah. we don't have to ask donald trump if he has a folder. >> let's move on here. it's been two weeks since hillary clinton admitted defeat but her team is hearing from election sxlaurs prominent computer scientists including someone from the university of michigan who say they suspect electronic voting machines in wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania may have been hacked. they're urging a second look at the election results nflt wisconsin they say that she received fewer sfloevotes. and jill stein said she will trays money to do it. she will have to act fast because the deadline is on friday. while the deadline in michigan

and pennsylvania is next week. based on what we now know, do you think these states should be audited? >> yes. first of all, more importantly, irrespective of whether or not secretary clinton and her campaign, whether or not they're trying on win. i think more importantly, we need dispel any questions that may exist about the fairness of the election. if there are any problems, if they suggest there is a problem, if they suggest there's a rigging or hacking. we need to get to the bottom of and it dispel it. so absolutely. >> i had another computer expert who wrote to me yesterday is that said that the first thing would you look for if he were going to look for tampering, you look for states. where was there a big variance

and the polling and the result. you look at maine, new hampshire, colorado, these states had payment ballots and they conformed very much to the pre election polling. if you looked at states with electronic voting machines in wide use, you saw much larger differences. so the prima facie case according to this person was not necessary reply these machines have been hacked. and these three of those states. the strongest argument for doing an audit has nothing to do with, is the country ready to move on or aching for a fight or do the clinton campaign want to relitigate. the question was, donald trump's election was really controversial. and for the half of the country that is horrified by his presence in the white house, if they have a reason to cling to a conspiracy theory, that will make it harder to accept the notion he is legitimately the

president-elect. if we can dispel those doubts, it would be good for trump and the legitimacy of the office. >> we know the data is coming in that she may win the popular vote by 1.5 votes. if he is going to come into office with a level of legitimacy, we need to dispel this. >> i'm for it. let's do it. since donald trump became president of these united states, the markets, the stock market, has reacted bigly. the last two days dow has set new records closing above 19,000 for the first time in its 120-year rally. people are calling it the trump bump. we don't have a catchy nickname but we did call up joe for his take on this phenomenon. >> markets are surging to record highs and there's reason to believe bits trump.

if you look at the sector really leading the way, bits the financials. lots of banks up 20% since the election on expectations of faster growth and a regulatory rollback. prior to the election, people thought trump would be bad for the market. they all predicted a sellsell-o. since then bits tax cuts, more fiscal spending, more growth and people are really ignoring all the negatives they thought about his campaign and his administration. >> i want to correct one mistake we said. michigan is still too close to call. it is so close that that state continues to be uncalled. so he has not claimed those electoral votes. we said that trump had won. let me ask you about this market thing. so you're the president-elect. if you were the president-elect, you would rather have a surging stock market. would you rather have a rallying stock market than a plummeting one-on-one hand.

it seems like good news. on the other hand, if people are saying wall street is on fire because of you being president, that might be a little problem conceivably for the populist president who rode into the white house on the back of anxiety about wall street, the fortune 500, the global financial system. do you think there are perils for trump if the stock market booms and he gets credit? >> i think so. part of this has to do with the idea of the trump candidacy as a change candidate. or this is a change election. wall street is booming. main street flat lined. main street inching up in terms of wages. and then you get trump in 21 and the folks standing up cheering him. and he is saying we're going to reduce your taxes. and you ask yourself, is this really change or just some of

the same old stuff with some new dressing on top? >> one of the things that was eye catching at least early on in his campaign when we interviewed him. we talked to him. he would say i want to get rid of the loophole for interest. it will cost me money and a lot of my friends money. but it is ridiculous what the hedge fund guys can get away with carried interest. to me, being a foe of the establishment, across the board, not just washington establishment but the financial establishment, the business establishment, is a huge important part of what has made trump appealing and helped him win this historic election. do this thing no one thought he could do. if he is a pal, he looks like a washington politician or a wall street fat cat. he starts looking more and more like that. the support underneath him will collapse real fast. >> in the spirit of obama with regard to the turkeys, he is a faux faux.

male vo: comcast. we've been talking about the state of the democratic party. the disarray. let's remember when we thought maybe, just maybe, joe biden would swoop in. he now says shocker know uncle joe doesn't have any interest in that position. the one person the major figures have rallied around is keith ellison. he picked up early endorsements. there's just one problem with all of that. the white house isn't quite on board the ellison train. they are worried that his

progressiveness. searching frantically for a candidate. this dnc election, that's mine. i apologize. how much do you care and what do you think needs to happen to the democratic party? >> well, i think one of the great things that just happened, and i can say great things that just happened with the election of donald trump know he laid waste to the two-party system. both parties are trying to figure out what he will do. and it is ironic for me to hear that obama's white house is actually allied itself against the the more progressive energies. that should reveal a lot to folks throughout who have been holding up the ban per obama is very progressive. i think at the end of the day, the the contractic primary with you a battle of the heart and soul. that battle is continuing so we need to continue to fight.

>> we're having a discussion now about who should be the dnc chair. i have a different irony that i'll point to. barack obama for eight years did not care in the slightest what was going on at the democratic national committee. he had received criticism from many progressives that he didn't care that much about the party at all. that he mostly gard the election. certainly the dnc where he let debbie wasserman shuls, horrible by every account. he and his people, we don't know where he is on this personally. for his people now trying to intervene in this fight is ridiculous on almost every level. they are putting forward tom perez, the labor secretary, putting forward jennifer granholm. those are really interesting

choices and i think there should be a big fight over who it should be. not because barack obama and the west wing think that should be a different choice. >> i don't want them to be confused though. i don't want them to fall back into the old strategy. what do we do? how do we appeal to the reagan democrats? those right vote here's left to vote for reagan. all of this sounds like them. we need to understand where we are now and you're right about whether or not obama should be guiding the direction of the party. >> this is a much longer conversation and we will have it but not right now. we'll be back with e.j. deion. every day starts better with a healthy smile. start yours with philips sonicare, the no.1 choice of dentists.

we are endlessly thankful for our next guest, e.j., we were just talking about the future of the democratic party and this battle that jonathan martin described in the "new york times" today. the west wing versus the left wing. what do you make of that battle? >> first of all, i am very excited bigly and i like that word as much as you do. >> that's impossible. no one likes that word more than me. >> i might threaten to use it over and over again just to prove it. i'll try not to. i think this fight we're about

to have could be yet another in a long series of highly dysfunctional arguments within the democratic party that don't get party very far. right now the country and the party are facing a real crisis with what trump wants to do. you have repeal of wall street reform. further roll bask in voting rights. threats to walk away from the climate agreement. and i think the last thing democrats need to do is have some argument between its sort of left and center wings. i think secondly the big issue here to which both ends of the party have to come to terms is how can the party remain the party stands up for racial minorities, cultural minorities, immigrants, and also stand up for the economically disadvantaged who include many of those groups, but also include many people in the white

working class. this coalition works and it worked in 2012 when you bring those groups together with a significant share of the white working class. and in this last election, the losses were very substantial. and it has to be politics of inclusion. partly politics of class. and i'm worried this fight won't address either of the central issues or it will use those two big sets of issues to advantage somebody's cause and won't solve the problem. >> my question for you, do you think that the battle they need to happen within the party. is your fear the debate will be

sidetracked into a battle about personalities or is that it the dnc doesn't matter or what in. >> it is partly that it will get sidetracked in personalities but also that it gets the side fwrakd who is populist and who is not and doesn't confront big crisis the party has to face. there will be an enormous amount of work to do on day one. trump presidency. a lot of these fights, these wings come together. the whole party is against repealing wall street reform. repealing obamacare. rolling back voting rights. and before they tear each other apart, i hope they tend to those larger issues. >> hi, e.j. i want to pick up part of your question about the obama coalition, reconstituting it. what does it mean to appeal to the white working class?

you have the working class people of color. they're experiencing the same things people who are white are experiencing. what does that mean to appeal to the white working class? >> i'm glad you put that it way. i do think when we talk about the working class after this election, almost everybody is talking about only whites. and the key is to realize that whites in a lot of areas that are hurting, reading, pennsylvania, parts of ohio, michigan, are in the same situation because of the industrialization that african-americans in the inner city are. the great sociologist wrote about when work disappears. and a lot of these places are experiencing now what inner city areas had already started experiencing a long time ago. and i think the party has to knit this together in a way they sometimes do when they succeed.

people dhacall this my bobby kennedy fantasy. i think we've had moments where democrats have managed to knit those together. and there is no denying that there is racial feeling. in some cases, outright racism. resentment of immigrants. if progressives provide adequate answers, i think those other issues have less. >> thank you. you're fantastic and great. thank you for coming on the show. we'll be right back after this.

afoot and light-hearted i take to the open road. healthy, free, the world before me, the long brown path before me leading wherever i choose. the east and the west are mine. the north and the south are mine. all seems beautiful to me.

for your retirement, you wanted to celebrate the little things, before they get too big. and that is why you invest. the best returns aren't just measured in dollars. td ameritrade. this historic political campaign is now over. now begins a great national campaign to rebuild our country and to restore the full promise of america for all of our

people. i'm asking to you join me in this effort. it is time to restore the bonds of trust between citizens, because when america is unified, there is nothing beyond our reach. and i mean absolutely nothing. >> he means absolutely nothing. absolutely. that was a little thanksgiving video message that donald trump just put out late this afternoon. now back by popular demand, mike murphy in los angeles, california. where the turkeys run the streets wild all over thanksgiving. you can grab them at they run the streets in malibu, right? >> i'm hoping the catch one. i'm going to treat this like a show that comes at the end of the week. this is like a freeway, basically. and ask you just to look back on the last two days of trumpian interaction with the main stream media. the meetings with the anchors

yesterday. you are a guy who knows how to deal with the press. what do you take from the two days? the different days and how do you think he is handling that matter? i think as best we can tell, he appears to be trying to wiggle out of the strait extract he ja. maybe climate change is something to do with humans, no, i'm not going to try to lock up hillary clinton and put her into prison despite the most popular rally chant during my campaign. sosa he is a master salesman. i think he is trying to appeal to a wider audience than just his base in the republican primaries by tampering and showing a new kind of tone. we'll see if it works. i applaud him for trying to lurch in this direction. you never know when he'll go out and pick a twitter fight with the cast of a broadway musical. so the discipline question is

still an open one. but he is trying to regularize and reposition himself in a wider way which he has to do. >> we've always had a question around donald trump's temperament. how have you gauged his response to some of the kernels expressed around the ethics question? the ways in which his business is shading into the transition? what do you think about how he's handled that? >> well, i think there's room for improvement. he has retreated to the position of, hey, legally it is fine. i can do it. a president has to have a wider view than a narrow legal interpretation of what he can do. he is supposed to set an example. that's been a weaker side of the equation so far. he's kind of dug in on that. how he would put in a blind trust in the nature of his business, i don't know. he doesn't seem to be very sensitive to that and that will be a peculiarity. >> another weekend question, an

effective end of week question. we've had three cabinet appointments, although ben carson is not yet official but let's assume it will happen. at this hour, how do you think trump administration is shaping up? >> well, i've known betsy boss for over 20 years. jeff sessions, disagree with him on a lot of issues but i don't think there's any malice. and you have to give him the freedom to build the cabinet he wants. i haven't been troubled by either of those choices. mike flynn, it's not a cabinet thing but it is effectively the same. i am not sure he is the personality to be the fair broker between all the cabinet agencies and security. but i think he would be great on

defense. so i think we have to wait and see who he picks. as far as governor haley, i've never thought of her as a foreign policy expert. kind of a second tier job. no harm done there. based on the low expectations the trump campaign created for trump, it could be worse. we'll see. >> you're right. we have to give him the opportunity to build the cabinet he wants. >> how would that make him feel more comfortable? i would stay cloud over steve bannon is more troubling. i think jeff sessions will be approved by his colleagues. the trouble that president-elect trump has gotten into with some of the things many his campaign, it is incumbent on him to clean that up with some very strong statements that a lot of russ still waiting for.

only he can try on remedy some of the things in the campaign where he went way beyond the pale. and we're waiting to see. i think he has that instinct. >> do you think it is enough on the bannon point, what w "the new york times" yesterday, trump basically says about the white nationalists, doing the hitler salute over the weekend i denounce him. i don't want any part of that. degree a racist, i wouldn't hire him. is that enough? declare i have the for sure but relatively brief. i would say it's not. he's been declare i have the. it is not like donald trump isn't a guy who doesn't know how to make strong statements. so we could use a little help with this. i think bannon is a troubling appointment. he won. he gets to appoint the people he

wants. >> i'm looking at steve bannon on the screen. he has a beard. bannon has a better head of hair. >> i have a better compass. >> that's true. >> and always better turkey neck. have fun out there in l.a. for thanksgiving. i wish i were there with you. it's nice here, too. if you happen to be watching us, you can listen to us on the radio. we'll be right back. oh, that's lovely... so graceful. the corkscrew spin, flawless... ...his signature move, the flying dutchman. poetry in motion. and there it is, the "baby bird". breathtaking. a sumo wrestler figure skating? surprising. what's not surprising? how much money heather saved by switching to geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more.

. there are a virginariety of things i want to ask you. audit or not? >> i think it is good for our democracy. i think that it is an opportunity to tell voters, hey, our voting system actually works. i don't think it will change the outcome of the election. but why not? i don't see a harm to it. >> i agree with that. except if it was in reverse and it was donald trump in the reverse situation, i think people would be screaming from the roof tops if donald trump had wanted that.

so i think it is a good thing but i don't think it will change anything. within the prism that we're looking at, if it went the other way, would everyone have the same response? >> i think the weertd part about this is that she is quickly winning the popular vote and he is president because he won the electoral college votes. so it makes this election a little bit trickier because of that. >> what about this battle between west wing and the left wing in terms of the future of the party? >> what do you think? >> that would be the democratic party. >> whenever he uses the term, the party. >> what do you think about this battle and the white house weighing in? >> i think it is good. i think one of the things that came out of this election, especially during the election, is the most aggressive agenda put forth.

i think this discussion about the economy and i think it is important for the democrats to listen. to kind of do a deep dive and figure out who we are and figure out what does map look like. and not just for 2020 but what does 2018 look like for them? so i think it is an important conversation to have. i think they should do some soul searching. >> this was a conversation that would have happened even if hillary clinton would have won. the progressive white, the bernie sanders wing were not going to let her go and start making zpeels being more moderate and center. they were always going to hold her to that agenda. this was an issue that would happen either way. now the timing is a little more difficult. and it is a hard he conversation to have. and the stakes are really hard. we'll have to see which

direction the democratic party is going to go to. toward 20 scene and toward 2020. >> i'll tell you this. and i want to get your point of view. we're talking about this now a couple times in the show. the thing that, not worried me but the thing that stuck out to me in this story about keith ellison is the fact this farrakhan stuff is starting to get injected into the conversation. the fact keith ellison was lined up for an interview with "the new york times" and then he was told he would have the answer that question begged off the interview. it is a red flashing light about his ability to stand up to the scrutiny of this. you can't run away from the questions about it if you want to be the chairman of the democratic national committee. >> it's true. one of the interesting things, the head of the anti-defamation league. and they agreed upon a wide range of things. this was a question. >> it is explosive. let me ask but the trump kids.

there's been a lot of discussion about this because today don jr. was discovered to have done a meeting around syria and russia. there is now a question the jared kushner is being considered. what do we think about the wisdom of donald trump deploying his children, and his son, family members, to handle thsh? >> that is a tremendous liability for the trump administration. as trump businessman, that's who he relied on. he ran his business like a family business. his children were grouped for this. for his business. it seems natural to him to have his closest advisers nearby and carrying out what he wants. however, this is no longer a private business. this is united states that you're running the united states of america. and i think the ability since these children will also be running the business, to have them weave in and out of foreign

affairs, especially, or anything to do with the operations of the government, is very tricky and probably not wise. it is the conflicts, right? the conflict of interest. and they're building a blind trust? how dpoud? >> you can't. >> it is his daughter sitting in on the meeting with the japanese prime minister. the businessman from india. his family sitting in on that. he needs to rethink what he's doing. >> it plays into a larger picture that came up during campaign. without releasing his tax statements, we don't know where his interests are. now we're adding even more speculation. >> susan, karine, i love having you on. i'm now going on stop you and i will do it with great joy.

that was some flavor from one of my all time favorite restaurants in the entire world. here with all due respect, we have a pre thanksgiving tradition and it involves eating some amazing food from that very restaurant, that amazing restaurant right here onset with the mission chinese chef, welcome back. >> so good to be back. >> it's good to meet you. >> this is like the pre

thanksgiving tradition and we've had some amazing food the last couple years and it looks incredible already. >> every year i come and we do something fun and silly. and this year, this is the first year that you've been able, we wanted to make it interactive. >> this is based on our chicken wings. can you eat spicy food? >> yes. >> it is like a northern chinese spice mix, pepper, tingly spices and we usually get to chicken wings. but there is so much leftover turkey. what do i do with it? what better than to have a lot of spice? you can serve it at thanksgiving dinner with people that you love or hate. >> and the chicken wings are the hottest thing i have ever eaten anywhere. they numb your mouth. it's amazing. >> they're a ripper. >> yes. >> this is a classic take, it is

called tooth pick lamb. they take tooth picks, put them through pieces of lamb. you want to dust with it a spice or toss it? >> i'll do whatever you want. >> i think maybe should you toss it. >> how many am i putting in? >> go hard. there we go. >> you want to toss it? >> let's go. >> you're really going hard. >> you're basically saying, put it all in there. >> i should have known that's where we were going. >> and those things fly if you want to make them floy. >> we'll just dump it here. >> right in there. >> and then we usually garn wish some chilies. if you've ever been to a szechuan restaurant. >> too many chilies on there. >> i don't know about putting the third one on there. it looks excessive. >> garnish. a little greens in our life.

so that's that. you should try it. have a little -- i'll hand you little tooth picks. >> i must admit, i'm afraid. >> it is a good kind of pain. so you always get these when you come into the restaurant. >> i do. i always do. >> that's really hot. >> it's fantastic. >> what's in that? >> it is a drink. called a phil collins. >> like your version of the tom collins. but it has what kind of milk in there? >> coconut milk, lime, chili, and sam at mission food put it together. it is really cooling. we serve that -- are you all right over there? you're turning red. >> i'm good. i'm good. >> it is time -- >> i think you can't drink that. that's illegal. where is the nonalcoholic -- >> my family is jamaican.

(man) my dad and i have the same eyes.

same nose. same toughness. and since he's had moderate alzheimer's disease, the same never quit attitude. that's why i asked his doctor about once-a-day namzaric. (avo) namzaric is approved for moderate to severe alzheimer's disease in patients who are taking donepezil. it may improve cognition and overall function, and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. namzaric does not change the underlying disease progression. don't take if allergic to memantine, donepezil, piperidine or any of the ingredients in namzaric. tell the doctor about any conditions including heart, lung, bladder, kidney or liver problems, seizures, stomach ulcers, or procedures with anesthesia. serious side effects may occur, including muscle problems

if given anesthesia; slow heartbeat, fainting, more stomach acid which may lead to ulcers and bleeding; nausea, vomiting, difficulty urinating, seizures, and worsening of lung problems. most common side effects are headache, diarrhea, dizziness loss of appetite, and bruising. (man) dad and i shared a lot of moments. now we're making the most of each one. (avo) ask about namzaric today. that just tastes better. fresher. more flavorful. delicious. only one egg with better nutrition- like more vitamins d, e, and omega 3s. and 25% less saturated fat. only one egg good enough for my family. because why have ordinary when you can have the best. eggland's best. the only egg that gives you so much more: better taste. better nutrition. better eggs. better nutrition. afoot and light-hearted i take to the open road. healthy, free, the world before me,

the long brown path before me leading wherever i choose. the east and the west are mine. the north and the south are mine. all seems beautiful to me.
