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. >>

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 whatut

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 wasin

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 rol

>> 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

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 kn

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 wke

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

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,

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

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. >> 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

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?

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

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

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

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 ai

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

that ship remained had a mystery. that haul changed last month and today we're getting a first look at the site. "today" correspondent craig melvin has that for us. craig, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, the sinking in 1945 is still considered one of the greatest tragedies in u.s. naval history. "the skus indianapolis'" remains were just recently discovered some 72 years after its loss, and they were discovered by an expedition team led by microsoft billionaire and philanthropist paul allen. what they found is truly fascinating. >> oh, there you go. >> reporter: new images both haunting and revealing. >> that's an unbelievable amount of damage from that torpedo. >> reporter: show the devastation caused by two japanese torpedos that hammered the "uss indianapolis" on july poth, 1945, while en route to the philippines. >> lock at that. >> the ship was carrying almost 1,200 men and had completed its top secret mission to the island

components for the atomic bomb. the high-tech expedition that discovered the "indianapolis" closes a chapter for world war two history for the families and survivors of those lost at sea. ensign john wolston remembers when the first torpedo hit. >> i left control central at exactly midnight. five minutes afterwards there was a rather, you know, huge boom. >> reporter: within 12 minutes the "indianapolis" was fully submerged. >> i think it was pretty obvious what had happened. >> reporter: 300 men went down with the ship and nearly 900 were thrust into the shark-infested water of the pacific. >> a lot of people who were seriously injured died and almost all of them died in somebody's arms. >> yeah. >> a couple in mine. >> reporter: more than four days later help finally arrived. only 316 of the 900 who abandoned ship survived long enough to be

>> our situation no food, no water. >> reporter: wolston is only one of 19 "indy" survivors and reached out to expedition leader rob kraft to ask to view the remains. >> we suspect she hit the stern first and that was the force that collapsed her. >> reporter: they watched a video of "indy" together on board another historic battle, the "uss mississippi" battleship in pearl harbor. >> the stern kicked up until it was very, very steep before it went down. of course, i never dreamt that i would be able to see it. >> reporter: each though this solves one of the biggest maritime mysteries of world war tuite exact location of the "uss indianapolis" remains a secret. the wreckage will be proserved as a military grave site to honor all the men who served and died on board the historichi

"the indianapolis" lies so deep within the pacific ocean it's one mile farther down than the final resting place of the "titanic." paul allen's research team is not disclosing the precise coordinates of the ship owes location but they are authorized to continue to monitor that site in accordance with laws governing war graves. for more information hon how to watch the live broadcast of the expedition of "uss indianapolis live from the deep" go to today.com, the live feed start tonight at sock p.m. eastern. >> thanks very much. >> now to our special earies girls changing the world to go along with savannah's first book. >> one. reasons we wanted to write "princesses wear pants" is to show our daughters all the possibilities what girls can do and i caught up a group of fierce tweens who traded in their tiaras for skates. >> i played dress-up a lot. wear cinderella costumes. >> i would like run around outside and wear dresses. >> i was like in love with

how is it changing the game? >> well, what this book is a conversation about this. i -- i lay how the the facts of the modern world and then ask people to decide, and it is about overcoming fear, and one of the fun parts of this book is i set it against the alamo which is about great courage in the face of insurmountable odds, and so clay not only has to overcome his own fears about going over the middle and taking hard hits. he sees what the game has done to his coach, and he's just trying to get the coach to one more cowboys reunion on thanksgiving. >> i think one of the great things, taking it back to the real world for a second and talking about the conversation that's taking place surrounding football. >> right. >> i think one of the great changes has been that former players have stepped away from the stigma of talking about the injuries they sustained and the lasting effect of those injuries. would you agree with that? >> oh, 100%. >> guys like brett favre an people like that. >> this coach comes out of that

culture. he comes out of that culture, you know, you've got to stick your head in hand now we see the cost of sticking your head in and he's starting to be confused and starting to have memory loss, and the one thing about this book, matt. i don't put a big smiley face ribbon around this. these kids are smart enough to know there's going to be no happy ending for this coach. they are just trying to get him through one more season. >> and you're not trying to, you know, push aside sports in general because the history of your books has always been in a sports occupy an enormously important role in a young life. >> and one of the things that i love about this book is the mom is like it moral center. >> you love her as a character. >> i love her as a character because she grew up in a texas football-loving family, except now that's her little boy playing these games, and so she watch eds them like a hawk, and, again, i'm not preachy in this book. i'm not telling parent what they have to decide. again, i'm happy that my sons didn't want to play. they

objectors when it came to football. i'm glad i didn't have to make that decision or have this conversation. >> last thing, ten second. cleveland indians won their 20th not a row last night. they will play detroit today trying for 21. they will lose a game on game number. >> 21. >> today? >> they are going to lose today. >> let me tell you something. >> you just jinxed them. the thing about the indians. they got their heart hand legs broken in game seven of the world series. they kind of slogged through the season and now here they are. >> the team to beat right now? >> oh, sure. >> by far? >> by far. >> again, the book is called "lone stars." mike, always good to see you. >> thanks, matt. >> coming up next, waste not, want not. the new push to try every bit of scraps in your kitchen. we'll try some meals that do that.

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 this, 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

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. could you actually 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 were you 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 goas

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 come out to take it all in saying i've never in my life ever seen something like this before because it's never ridden that high. historic sglefls 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 tornadoesch i understand that that is out of my comfort zone and i'm not going to chase a storm because i note 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? 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 team and with a good team of people and we'll keep eh
