[laughter] >> probably because you have this adobe electoral college system. [applause] which by the way is quite not so difficult to get rid of as people think. on paper it is very difficult because you need to third's majority in both houses and that and then to be ratified by the state largest mom -- legislators. it is a very difficult thing to do but the constitution does allow each to change the way it chooses it delegates because of the electoral college. so maine and nebraska do that in the pro rat away but they are small and doesn't make difference but if california suddenly did that but what you could do is for those individual states to decide to follow the constitution to send all of the delegate and the way the entire country goes. and this will be done on a state-by-state basis it isn't a sudden change my going over to the nebraska system. but there is a movement afoot as you know waiting for several other states to agree to do it. because individual states can do it and it doesn't make much difference to begin with but it would get rid of that an

, research it varied research the history of the electoral college.t will only land -- anyhow, thank you -- basically, we need to have a uniform voting system throughout the united states, like in canada. host: becky is calling from massachusetts on our public in line to read what do you think? to the i was listening last guy, and one of the things i agree with, i work the elections in massachusetts, in the function very well. i do not think there is any fraud within our town. i would like to see what the last guy says that it was uniform over the country has to how you deal with elections and sign in. you can only vote in your district, and now in new hampshire, you can go in the day of the election and sign up to vote in the election. that is not right. cane is no way that they correct things. voting, i think that is wrong. people -- ithe voted for trump, i am happy to say, and i am still with him, and i think the rest of the people should get over it elected,t hillary was there would be no russian collusion, there would be no voter fraud, no nothin

meber 2 -- could you tell of the how many members elector college -- electoral college are members of the african-american community? guest: those are pretty tricky. i can't speak to the electoral college question. on the wealth of members of congress, it is a fact that members of congress tend to be significantly more wealthy than your average u.s. citizen. a lot of these lawmakers had built up personal fortune before they were elected to the congress whether through their own businesses. a lot of times they marry and to wealth. rollcall does a great list of the most wealthy members of congress. and their personal net worth can go to the hundreds of millions of dollars. host: on open secret star, you can go to the website and find out members of congress personal finances as well. diane in georgia, democrat. caller: i would just like to say sickwhat really makes me is paul ryan. you know his father passed away. rightly so, his mother was able to claim a benefit on him when he was still a minor, which i don't see any problem with that. so he benefited from that. he went to college and

in the united states the president is not elected directly by the people but by the electoral college appointed in each of the fifty states. not all the states have the same number of electors that makes some states more important than others. the trump camp suspected that they would not win the national vote so it's trying to just decided to concentrate on states. knowing that they would lose the national popular vote. how do you win well you win by capturing the electoral college how do you do that you try and figure out a way of where you can go to appeal to relatively small numbers of people he was going to places that a lot of people thought why is he doing that he shouldn't be doing that he should be going someplace someplace else we didn't there was a strategy of looking at places that had been thought of as consistently democratic states states like michigan wisconsin and pennsylvania all three of which mr trump carried on in november. this was the strategy recommended by cambridge analytical rather than trying to convince millions of voters across the entire nation to vote fo

blacks are now going to count 5/5 rather than 3/5 for purposes of apportioning the house and electoral college. republicans need to guarantee suffrage for southern blacks but imposing black suffrage in the north runs the risk of alienating their constituents, who of repeatedly made it clear that they do not think african-americans in the north need to be voting. the first shot at solving the dilemma was section two of the 14th amendment which seem like med like the ideal answer to their problems. it creates a powerful inducement for southern states to enfranchise lacks by threatening to reduce their congressional representation if they continue to disenfranchise adult male citizens. that would place pressure on northern states less because there are so few blacks living in the north. the black population in the north very from less than 1% in or 2% in states like indiana or illinois. republicans adopted the circuitous route rather than simply maintaining black suffrage in the 14th amendment because they were frankly scared to go back to their constituents in the congressional election having j

you mentioned early in the conversation they want to deal in fact if they could just make the electoral college go away it's of the only votes that count where those in the financial centers on the coasts and just overlook the heartland altogether they would do it in a heartbeat because that would mean they could get away with the corruption that this president is cleaning up. the eternal college is really interesting i did say to our viewers here if they get rid of the electoral college then we have to get rid of california washington and oregon ok and that'll create a little bit of a bounce there or else it'll be it will be democrat forever ok just these little archipelagos on the east and west coast will that dominate the country's politics or you know kevin you know what does the media have to do to get its credibility back because as we've pointed out on this program so many gaffes. or is it just a business model it just built in right now i mean you write these trashy salacious stories and you get hits and eyeballs and you know that's your true model i mean you know that there's there's n

if we don't believe donald trump a racist, let's address the electoral college. vote,s one person, one why should the most important be dictated by the electoral college? host: thank you very much. will the black employment rate improved? guest: the bureau of labor statistics bears this out. i will give credit to former president barack obama who started this but president trump has done a good job of tax cuts and his economic plan as now he's looking at infrastructure. take away these unnecessary regulations in the market and has done a good job of the court system. let me emphasize this again. like most americans, i really want this president to succeed. i respect the office of the president and i respect mr. trump because even though he says he is a stable genius, it is genius what he a competent as life in real estate and winning this presidency is almost miraculous. shownk the president has his flaws and it resonates with many people because he is so transparent that he has no filters. still, the president can do a lot of good. i think the president is since

the eternal college is really interesting i did say to our viewers here if they get rid of the electoral college then we have to get rid of california washington and oregon ok and that'll create a little bit of a bounce there or else it'll be it will be democrat forever ok just these little archipelagos on the east and west coast will that dominate the country's politics or you know kevin you know what does the media have to do to get its credibility back because as we've pointed out on this program so many gaffes. or is it just a business model interest built in right now i mean you write these trashy salacious stories and you get hits and eyeballs and you know that's your model i mean you know that there's there's nothing wrong with making money for your shareholders but i thought journalism was how to hire cars like informing people go ahead. well want to take on a i think we need to start with trying to avoid taking on very difficult complex nuanced questions and do it in such a simple minded fashion you know and i think that's a large part of what's going on you know. to take just one examp

yes, he won an electoral college victory. he still talks about it more than a year after the election. it's incredible, but it z does give an idea of the more we learn again about the loop that plays inside donald trump's head, the more kind of concern we get about that. because he talks about the same stuff over and over again. that's one of the things he talks about. >> noah, he certainly differently in the confines yesterday, he certainly had a receptive audience there among farmers who voted for him last time. if he runs again, will most likely vote for him next time t. question is, how does let move beyond 37, 38%? how does he start expanding this base or at least stwhoop appears to be coming in 20 -- at least stop what appears to be coming in 2018. >> the republican party today is a rural party. they understand i think that it's the suburbs that are going to deliver what looks to be now like a big blue wave. it ain't going to happen between now and november. that is what is in the card. yesterday, we had foreign affairs

and those bad polls were in key states in the electoral college. >> and the wall comes tumbling down.his is the blue wall that hillary clinton had talked about. >> in the last two elections, barack obama swept key states in the midwest. so it was assumed hillary clinton would win there, too. wrong. >> when clinton had trouble leading in polls in ohio, that should have been a sign that there's something different about her coalition versus obama's coalition. >> clinton was counting on a surge of women and minorities at the polls. but the only surge in the midwest was among white voters without college degrees. >> whoo! >> it used to be that college-educated white people voted republican and working-class white people voted democratic. >> so the social class profile of the two parties has flipped. >> it's completely flipped. yeah. >> we won with poorly educated. i love the poorly educated. >> trump's margin among whites without a college degree was the largest of any candidate in 36 years. >> in the center of the stage tonight, businessman donald trump. >> but perhaps the key reason why

going back is look at the electoral college. [applause] after he lost by almost 3 million votes bring back democracy to the united states of america. [applause] been i can know you are here to sell books that can you talk about the mary tyler moore show? what did that do for young wome women? i remember watching that as a young girl thinking i could not wait to graduate from college to have my own apartment instead of getting married. did you understand that? for what was happening at that time? >> i was always shocked and amazed, i choked on my own thoughts what a pacesetter that show was for women i never thought we were pacesetters the show was originally written to be a divorce. but they changed to her breaking off her engagement which made the whole show. i was always amazed when women's rights became focused on our show i remember toward the end of the series was out all night with a man. you may have missed that. they mentioned it on mod and they said not mary. [laughter] so that is the image she created and it worked. lo

it is like the electoral college. hillary got 50. broke the electoral college and the electors down by population and how they voted for trump, trump would have gotten 20 of the electoral votes here in california. i have a copilot who i fly with who wishes to remain nameless that is a trump supporter. there are a lot of people in the state that like the guy. >> you give him a thumbs up. >> yeah. thumbs up to trump. i liked it. >> you are in the minority. >> i know i am. i'm in san francisco. the bay area. i get it. >> reporter: we want to thank you for chatting with us. how was breakfast, by the way. >> very good. >> reporter: very good. >> good waffles. >> reporter: in a sea of blue we found a donald trump supporter that gives the speech a big thumbs up. like our poll has shown, a lot of people didn't even watch last night. so that must say something as well. we're live here in alameda. i'm frank mallicoat. back to you guys. >> thank you, frank. great job. a lot of people tuning into the warriors game instead. >> you know how you ca

he won electoral college and did not win popular vote. >> he loves popularity contest. >> there's no's miss universe of politics. >> do you enjoy holding that like that. >> feels great. >> i need the champagne. >> there's a bottle somewhere in the building. >> most senate was back to work today methods unsuccessful. >> this is totally the move when you don't want to shut out for work i suck let me post a video on social media. >>. >> he just wanted a day off. >> this is the most if you were he ever had living in charleston they get rest. >> what happened to the giant palmetto bugs. >> anyone throughout app expert let me know. >> they're terrifying. >> i can't do this. his. >> well look it's not often we say this is d.c. it ways good day tib member of democratic party inauguration of two senators doug jones narrows majority to one seat. of course in d.c. and across the can'ty trump bannon battle seems top take center stage today and this today inauguration of doug jones is especially assigned and dems had all full day on paper they have a little hope headed to midterms. speaking of tr

is quoted in the book as saying that when his father had realized he'd won the electoral college he looked as if he had seen a ghost. this book is the story of incompetence running an incompetent presidential campaign for an incompetent candidate who's a dangerous and incompetent president and quotes steve bannon as calling the meeting that donald trump jr. arranged during the campaign in trump tower a group of russians attended by jared kushner and paul manafort as treasonist. bannon says they're going to crack don junior like an egg on national tv. one of the sources for the book is katie walsh who served as the white house deputy chief of staff in the first couple of months of the trump white house. here's how michael wol off delivers her view of the commander in chief. he didn't process information in any conventional sense. he didn't read. he didn't really even skim. some believed that for all practical purposes he was no more than semiliterate. he trusted his own expertise no matter how irrelevant and confident but he was just as often paralyzed less a salve saint than putting and da

i would have written the book had a run t they run the light l college -- electoral college. i would have climbed the wall and came right back home. [laughter] utopia of calling bernie sanders and telling him and try to figure out if and you call him up and find this document some call a bernie sanders and say i found the cancer but i'm not going to kill the patient so i guess the basic question is wasy does the dnc primary process for hillary. this is somebody that knows the rules. you want them to at least appear to be fair. i stepped aside because i want them to have a fair fight and also i was for al gore and that is the last time i actually supported somebody in the primary. i don't get involved in the presidential primaries anymore. so, i tend to watch from the sidelines but i am on the rules committee. what i wanted to do is go in and determine if the money that was being spent before the primary had ended had aided the process and what i found that supported me and was unacceptable even for me to do my job as the chair. she put us on a starvation diet which was fine,

frankly, the democrats should have won, because they have such a tremendous advantage in the electoral college. so it was brought up for that reason. but it has been determined that there is no collusion, and by virtually everybody. so we'll see what happens. >> but, would you be open -- >> we'll see what happens. certainly, i'll see what happens. but when they have no >> just to answer, i think it is much of better to work with russia. it's very much better having to do with north korea, where we currently have a problem that should have never been my problem. this should have been a problem solved many years ago when it was much less dangerous. but it was given to me, along with a big mess of other things. but i will say this. i am for massive oil and gas and everything else. and a lot of energy. putin can't love that. i am from the strongest military that the united states ever had. putin can't love that. but hillary was not for a strong military. and hillary, my opponent, was for windmills. and she was for other types of energy that don't have the same capacities at this moment, certainly.

the other thing on the rewrite the constitution but the electoral college after he last i almost 3 million votes. let's bring back democracy to the united states of america.

frankly, the democrats should have won, because they have such a tremendous advantage in the electoral college. so it was brought up for that reason. but it has been determined that there is no collusion, and by virtually everybody. so we'll see what happens. we'll see what happens. certainly, i'll see what happens. but when they have no collusion and nobody has found any collusion at any level, it seems unlikely the you would even have an interview. norwaym prime minister, shares a border with russia. president trump's position has been that it is better to work with vladimir putin. where do you come down on that idea, better to work with putin? >> i don't think you can not work and talk with them. say weis important to have suffered some economic difficulties in some areas based on sanctions. on the other hand, we have a good relationship with russia over that border. people,free movement of people move to and fro. we have a large corporation on sustainable fisheries in this area. we patrol the area and work together. we think it is important to do two things at the same time. we stand by al

and we have the electoral college, because he had slavery. so now the entire country has a man with his finger on the nuclear button, who has assaulted women, who forgets the name of servicemen who die in the field, who has not dealt toh the dreamers' ability continue to work and learn in this country, who has told us that police should be a little rough with people when they get put in police cars and maybe not -- maybe knock their heads door -- because we never have resolved the fact that as a country, we have constructed a politics built on race. race was also built on class and gender. it was.

and he's, like, where is your electoral college victory, huh?which by the way, was the biggest ever. did i ever tell you about the time i won? ( laughter ) but donald trump isn't the only one the shutdown affected. real americans faced real consequences. >> the shutdown doesn't stop members of congress from using their exclusive gym. according to "the washington post" some members of the house reportedly complained there weren't enough towels stacked in the gym this morning, and even wondered aloud if it was because of the shutdown. >> trevor: not funny. ( laughter ) no, you laugh but it's not funny to people in congress. without towels, everyone at the gym had to see bernie sanders naked. ( audience reacts ) and let's just say the carpet matches the drapes. ( audience reacts ) so whether that's because of bernie's naked ass or the threats of voter backlash, democrats and republicans reached a deal this afternoon to end the shutdown, and the deal was republicans would promise to hold the vote on immigration, and in exchange democrats would agree

he's dually elected through the electoral college. but he came in the office with a very weak standing, and he's only made it worse. and unfortunately, everything is going to be riding on the 2018 midterm elections to send him a message and to send those cowardly members of congress, who refuse to stand up and deal with him directly on this, and other matters, to send them the message too that america will not tolerate this any longer. >> the president has said in the pales, and i believe anthony, former top advisor, just put out tweet couple of hours ago saying this president is not racist, that this president is not who the media makes him out to be. and i'm asking you flat out, do you believe president donald trump is a race us? >> yes. i don't even know -- look, again, look look at his history. i mean, at some point we got to call it what it is. >> is there anything this president could do that could turn this around? >> no. and i don't think he wants to turn it around. >> he is a 17 year old man, born somewhere between third base

many northern votes and would specifically cost republicans the governorship and perhaps the electoral college votes of ohio in 1875 and 1876. freed from an external constraint, southern whites were going to do whatever was necessary to regain political power. black voting in the south, though it was reduced after the troops came out of the south, did not end with the fall of reconstruction in 1877. a majority of african americans were still voting in the south in 1880. many blacks continued to sit in state legislatures and local offices. it really wasn't until 1890 that the precipitous decline began. formal disfranchisement took many forms. i won't run through all of them. residency requirements would penalize itinerants. secret ballot laws functioned as quasi-literacy tests because you had to be able to read and mark your ballot without assistance. disfranchisement for crime was gerrymandered to reflect white perceptions of black criminal propensities. most of southern states use literacy tests which would disproportionately disqualify illiterate blacks, even if they were fairly implied. of

to tell how far this is going to feed through to the key swing states that delivered him the electoral college white house. i mean i think there's evidence that wages are rising, but the problem is they're rising faster in places like california near where i'm situated, near the stanford campus, than they are in, let's say, wisconsin or michigan or rural pennsylvania, the places that delivered for trump. so i don't think it is possible to argue yet that all of the benefits of the tax cuts are going to flow to the 1%. i think one has to wait and see just how this plays out in the economy at large, and i think workers may see some improvement. the trouble is they may not be the workers that trump really wants to pay off. but one last point, christiane, which is important, in the realm of populism voters don't just vote with their pocketbooks. there's a solid 38% to 40% of voters who are going to stay on board with trump as long as he keeps delivering on what you might call the culture wars front. i have a sense many people who voted for donald trump back in november 2016 didn't expect a pot of g
