joe concha of "the hill." one of the best readers of media out there. >> thank you for the kind words. neil: we're learning that israel's benjamin netanyahu among other world leaders talking to donald trump on phone, inviting him for a meeting in you'd as first opportunity that would be on the part of mr. trump to mr. netanyahu. they gotten along famously in the days before mr. netanyahu was israeli prime minister and was a new york city friendship. they struck up a tight friendship. that could say a lot how the relationship would go with israel. occurring at same time you get strange bedfellows including evangelicals voting for donald trump with all the warts and stuff in his past. tony perkins was one first to say that to me. family research council president with me, right now, when he raised eyebrows. he said he looked beyond just some of the personal quality of mr. trump, but just the message that he was sending. tony, when i looked at those evangelical numbers, two to one, three to one in favor of mr. tr

here now is joe concha, media reporter at "the hill." we've seen the video afterwards, and she goes on to ask the question pretty much verbatim. what do you think of this -- there is no doubt now. >> there is no doubt, because melissa, it happened twice. melissa: yeah. >> happened at another town hall event as well. donna was getting fed questions by somebody within that organization. jeff zucker said, he is president of cnn. it is disgusting and hurts all of us. melissa: right. >> those are pretty tough words. the network says they're completely uncomfortable with this. that is all well and good but you have to back up those words, melissa, with actions. melissa: yeah. >> that means an internal investigation not done by cnn you bring in outside law firm, some sort of investigative unit to figure out how this happened. quite frankly not hard -- melissa: i was going to say, do you even have to bring in somebody from the outside? >> yes. integrity. melissa: it is very, very few people, would take like three seconds to figure it out, wouldn

joe concha, "the hill" media rerter. joe, the media has never been good at self-reflection.reat at patting themselves on the back, giving awards or anything, john harwood in particular, cnbc, grant ad competitor, makes it a little more juicy for us. not only did he get it wrong, he actually admitted he got it wrong. let's put up his tweet. i've been wrong about many things before but never as wrong in my judgment that donald trump could not win presidency. the point is, john harwood, if you were listening, not that you were wrong, you were actively engaged trying to help a subject you were supposed to be reporting in a neutral manner. you were actively working on hillary campaign. that is the problem. >> explain what the situation is that you're describing. there is a wikileaks email where john harwood writes john podesta, he is clinton's campaign chief and he says i'm about to interview, paraphrasing, about to interview jeb bush, what questions should i ask him. jeb bush has been public fick 25 years. you're a reporter. how hard is it to come up with questions on your own w

joe concha, the hill columnist. thank you. >>> there was something interesting with the coming and going of the new york figures. that was new york mayor bill de blasio speaking with donald trump. and then 62 minutes after that, to tell the press this. >> i will not tell you that gucci and tiffany are my central concerns in life, but i will say that the traffic situations are a very real problem. and it is magnified going into the holidays. >> he was referring to gucci and tiffany in the neighborhood, i'm worried about vehicular traffic, worried about walking traffic, it was hurting their business. and he didn't care. now, again, these are issues that are beyond the mayor's control. but to say he's not worried about it, saying it's not an issue for him, he's saying i don't care about the revenue they bring into the city. let me point out here that gucci, you can sell a $1,000 purse. so with a combined new york city state tax of 8.75%, that's the highest in the nation, the city makes a good chunk of change off that,

host: that is joe concha, the media writer for the hill newspaper, thank you for being here.uest: thank you for having me. host: spring texas, independent line, alan. i do think that traditional media is perhaps losing some influence. i do not agree that they have lost the influence. , ithis most recent election think the traditional media played a large role in getting mr. trump elected. that may not have been their intention but they gave him the coverage and the exposure required, and the free access to media that was required for him to get elected. they put him out there and presented him to the people. the people did not necessarily vote the way they asked him to. the majority of the people did but he did win the electoral college. you can see the beauty influence in the way that completely shut out any alternative ideas. the democratic and republican our -- have a duopoly on almost a monopoly on our political system, they shut out in the other candidates, candidates on the ballot who are on sufficient balance to win the presidential election. shut them outy from the pr

three people highlighting "new york times" that you and joe concha were talking about a few minutes agosupposed to talk about the transition. they have had 60 some meetings so far. ben carson is also an interesting meeting to highlight today. remember it wasn't long ago dr. carson eliminated his name for job within the administration. the question is, is he back on? we don't know. congresswoman sinned yaw lummis the -- cynthia lummis the republican out of wyoming. the meeting with the times. then it is off to florida, we're told the president-elect will wrap things up later this afternoon at trump tower and head out sometime after 4:00 p.m. eastern to make the trip down to palm beach. the one thing i would say about the trip to mar-a-lago, we've been told by administration officials not to expect any big announcements over the holidays. if we get anything today, about a cabinet post, not that we know about anything imminent if we don't get something today, we will have to wait until after the holiday. stuart: that is interesting. a genuine holiday sayscation for the president-elect. >>

joe concha. he said cnn needs an internal investigation with what happened.t sounds like roland martin. remember him. fed the question to donna brazile for that town hall. they need to figure out what went wrong over there so it doesn't happen again. >> congratulations on the questions. you're in flint, michigan, talking about the water crisis. be prepared. i'd be like, excuse me you have to feed me that question ahead of time? talk about the makeup of the type of lead that's in the pipe. i get it. give me a heads up. >> this will reverse if reince priebus were giving the questions, i would get the electric chair. >> it would be a joke. >>> seven days from the election. fox news as election day coverage. we've got you covered starting at 4:00 a.m. and all night as the votes are coming in. you need to stay with fox newschannel, america's election headquarters. we have a new studio, it's so cool. >> throw away the remote, leave it here on fox. >>> in the tea party targeting -- why isn't the irs investigating the clinton foundation? our next guest helped expose
