of our unwillingness to bus policy that protects our election integrity i mean diddly thing the green party woods tonight a russian meddling why else would anyone cuss to protest in ohio when there is so much at stake this isn't the first time minor parties like the libertarian party or the green party have been attacked by the establishment for electoral losses in two thousand when al gore won the popular vote but lost the electoral college vote democrats castigated green party voters for choosing nader over poor in quote helping bush win in two thousand and sixteen when hillary clinton lost democrats pulled that strategy again blaming minor party voters and accusing libertarian party candidate gary johnson and green party candidate jill stein of electing trop and they added a whole new layer to their accusations rusa phobia r t was central to this accused of undermining democracy u.s. intel communities exact words for hosting a debate between johnson and stein and showing americans that they had other choices besides the two establishment candidates are horrible crime apparently and then

by saying it is russian meddling in the green party, they blame the green party voters in ohio, heres alisa milany because of unwillingness to pass policy, i think this green party vote tonight are russian meddling, why else would anyone cast a protest vote in ohio when there is so much at stake. >> patricia arquette, demand a recount if you did can, and outside analysis and audit of the machines. >> debra messing tweeting this is an embarrassment. we take it up with antonio so bato, whao -- so i sabato your ? >> hollywood lives in a bubble. the democratic party are done, this is about putting americans and america first across the board, that is why i am hire, these people put so much efforts and money into races they are losing it, instead of helping homeless mess oness or veteransr military or farmers, they are so stuck in a bubble. this thing they created, and anybody who is again them, like myself, i was black listed from hollywood, i had been working 30 years now because i am a conservative, my beliefs might be deficient -- different, i can't talk about this president, i can't

so i have to say to my fellows who are voting the green party, look, we are facing an existential threatemocracy. right? and i know the democratic party isn't perfect. but these elections are too close for you to not make a choice between the lesser of two evils. and in the end you know very well there's a party that doesn't even believe in climate change and one party that embraces science. we cannot allow the party that does not believe in climate change to continue to win by these narrow margins. right? people voting third party. and we saw the protest vote in 2000 -- in the last presidential election, 2016, which i think sort of swung the election away from hillary. i hear you green party. i hear you're not happy with the democrats. but at this point you have to make a choice between the lesser of two evils. >> we're going to squeeze in a break here. when we come back, we'll have steve kornacki and the latest numbers. (vo) why do subaru forester owners always seem so happy? because they've chosen the industry leader. subaru forester holds its value better than any other vehicle in it

the green party got 1,127 votes.so not enough to tip the ballots, but without the green party candidates and those votes on the left, the democrat candidate o'connor would have been even closer. so there might be some frustration on the democratic side as well when you talk about socialists and others pulling the party to the left. the green party candidate ended up making this kind of more interesting. without the green party candidate, this would have been even, even tighter, shannon. >> and it may have even put it within the mandatory recount margin, which is .5. if it's inside the margin, the state pays for it. but outside of that, the loser would have to pay. unless it turns out they win, then their money is refunded. >> by our calculation, that puts balderson the republican up by .9 percentage points. so it would be a bigger margin than the smaller .5 percentage of points, meaning that if the green party candidate had not been in here, this likely would have been within the .5 percentage needing a recount. righ

not been noted a lot, joe manchin got 1127 votes, not enough to tip the balance but without the green party candidate and those votes on the left the democratic candidate would have been even closer. there might be some frustration when you talk about socialists and others pulling the party to the left, the green party candidate ended up making this more interesting. without the green party candidate this would have been even tighter. >> may have put it within the mandatory recount margin, 0.5. inside the margin, publicly funded but outside that the loser would have to -- if they win their money is refunded. >> with the margin of 1700 votes by our calculation that puts balderson up by 0.9 percentage points. it would be a bigger margin than the smaller advantage of points meaning of the green party candidate had not been in here this likely would have been within the 0.5% needing a recount. barring whatever votes we have we will see what happens. it is outside the threshold. shannon: back to our panel. >> work really hard. if donald trump is popular in your district, and we head toward the m

as the leader of the green party speaking with g w a short while ago let's turn to some other news now because government experts from around the world are meeting in geneva to discuss the future of quote killer robots these autonomous weapon systems they can operate until without human guidance critics calling for the new generation of weapon tree to be banned globally before it goes into mass production. germany's armed forces already make use of semi autonomous weapons base add offenses to can seek out targets on its own. for now soldiers still have to give the order to fire but fully autonomous weapons are being developed they can select and attack targets without humans at the controls. the highly controversial supporters say the new weapons are needed in modern warfare and will help people make ethically responsible decisions. warfare is becoming so fast right now that human beings are not capable of making intelligent informed decisions like they could in the past others have voiced concerns that autonomous weapons could diminish human responsibility in war we don't want to have

- so in 1996, i decided to try a little more ambitious one and signed up with the green party. ans and democrats, both parties, would not tar about full medicare l-- not even discuss it. they wouldn't talk about a living wage, cracking down on corporate crime or corporate tax reform. the military budget was draining money away from rebuilding america's public works, d that's what we thought we could do. - it becomes very clear that what's coming out of his mouth is gibberish.wh would anybody rationally believe that the green party, which has no base outside a w states where there are a lot of college-educated, n- grh sort of people, which tends to mean whitish kind of people, could succeed in breaking up the democratic party and creati a new alignment in which the greens woulface the republicans? - back in 2000, the republican nominee was george w. bu, and the democratic nominee was the sitting vice president, albert gore. - like, there wasn't anybody standing up and saying, "let's fight for the people.

many are trying to blame this man, green party joe manchik. will ask another famously accused green party spoiler jill stein what she thinks. does the media help or hurt president trump by covering his rallies? this debate persisted ever since we elected donald trump. this week came an interest crop-offer, however, from an unlikely source, "new york times" columnist thomas freidman, and this set off a new fire storm. keep up the blanket coverage of trump, it hurts him. freedman says "it appears to be the toxic lying and bullying and unpresidential behavior that trump exhibits most in his rally and tweets which we so incessantly cover, that's turning off those trump will need. bring on the coverage. the reaction like places of fox news was -- isn't this what everyone said leading up to the 2016 election? >> what a great idea, remember what happened the last time the media covered every tweet and rally and every word of donald trump and every wink and nudge cough became part of the media's snark-nado? they elected donald trump, the bozos. is it

i look to the green party. 1% of the votes. had that one percent gone to o'connor, he would actually be slightly and just slightly but within the margin and calling for a recount. is this a moment for the democratic party to say listen, we appreciate green party k candidates. one believes in science, one doesn't. >> i said this for a long time. it's about green parties, right now. i think the sanders and alexandria cortez wing of the party. you have to make a decision whether or not you want to defeat republicans and put more democrats who will fight for working people in office or sacrifice people on the altar of political rigid ideal ji. we can't losing races by splintering the party. if you look where balderson under performed, you expect democrats to do very well in franklin county but also in delaware county. he did a little better there. i think there's a real pathway for democrats there to concentrate on delaware county and build up that margin. winning this district, if he wins it, if he holds up and wins by 1700, there

i notice you have independents -- you don't have green party as a third option for your calling, as an example. certainly when iran, the media did not give me the attention. i did not have the money that the democrats and republicans had. i had a position to get on the ballot originally, which the democrats and republicans do not have to do in their elections. stackedas the deck is against third-party candidates, it will be difficult for people to get into congress, and i feel like that is essential for the tie-breaking changes that we need. host: scott, thank you for your participation. interesting points. issue, therennial decision of our two-party system. the court reasoned that happens in the united states is you get 50% plus one, and you win the office, and that is a system that creates two parties. ofre have been ideas, some them race quite recently, for trying to change that in congress in particular by having multimember districts -- having several members run to represent one district. that can actually be done without an amendment. the same can change that. there is a movemen

is falling from the mark spoke to one of the leaders of germany's green party and he asked her why right wing extremism appears to be alive and well in eastern germany. misspoke time and again file and sprague's out in the eastern drum state of saxony why always saxony we're not talking about whole eastern germany but we have a problem in some of the stays there too right wing radicalism was not taken seriously enough and this was definitely the case in sex any where the state government ignored to the fellowmen for some time then they tried to put it on the agenda but they didn't really do anything against it they didn't finance program for democracy ation they didn't find any programs against radicalization of the right wing and therefore now we have the consequences on the streets and this is a horrible phenomenon and therefore we call for the stage prime minister to put it on top of the agenda for his political projects was in the next ones and yes. thousands of protesters went on the streets of candidates has something got out of control in the german society we're not having a prob

and we've heard criticism also in the past few days from opposition politicians members of the green party saying there needs to be a much more concerted systematic effort to provide education and socialization in basic democratic values like tolerance like freedom of speech and that that effort definitely needs to be focused on eastern germany but not only there and another very important factor long term cutbacks in the security services have left many people in many parts of germany with the feeling that the streets of their cities are not entirely safe and certainly we saw in candidates that the police were dramatically understaffed and the fact is and this was said this week by the president of the police people's union he said when people have the sense that they are not secure on their city streets there is a much higher risk that they will resort to vigilante attacks which doesn't excuse those attacks but points out that there is a direct connect. between underfunding of security perhaps also underfunding of those socialization education efforts i mentioned and the rise of right wi

so eric brooks with our city san francisco, san francisco green party, and the clean energy groups itioned earlier. i would agree with the commissioner that in -- in her comments that the relationship between legal and cleanpowersf moving forward has been a lot better recently, but i do want to reiterate what i said the last time, which is that especially when we're getting into public banks and what to do about housing and homelessness and issues like that, where financial interests are directly involved, especially in the housing and homelessness issue, it's really vital that we have a law firm that is local, here in our community, that has to give a darn about the community and has to be responsive to pressure from the community and accountable, so i would hope that's where we end up, and also with a firm that hopefully is less -- more into public good and things like that and lesser into things like real estate interests. thanks. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. seeing no other public speakers, public comment is now closed. no action needs to be taken on this matter. mad

it might not even be to the green party, but the democratic party. those who are pushing very far to the left, or to the middle, let's all get on the same page. let's get a united force let's have one foe instead of fracturing our party. the democrats could be having that conversation going forward. >> right. they did something different in this race, he was not really talking about president trump. i know a lot of democrats in the country want to say, he's the foe, let's run against president trump. he didn't really do that, he stuck to issues. so that might be the way to go forward. which is let's not talk about president trump. there's enough out there, we hear that all the time. i just want to go back to the money for a minute. they poured a lot -- he didn't raise the money, the republican. >> he being whom? >> balderson didn't raise a ton of money as we just said. national republicans sent money there. this isn't the kind of race they want to send money to. they got way more importantly to send it to as well. this is kind of a shot on the money.

them also with the sierra club and i am a leader in the san francisco green party and california green party. we support the environment. other speakers from the sierra club have emphasize the points that i think you need to hear. i wanted to add some personal comments. the people all over the bay bay area are willing to conserve. i have been doing it for years. i really appreciate the bills that get sent out. the water bills, because they do tell me how much water i am using per day. i live alone. i have been down during the winter it when i don't have to water my yard, 13-15, sometimes 18 gallons a day. this year, i had someone come and stay with me for about three and a health months. my bill went up to 28 gallons per day during the summer, i have to water a little more in my yard. i have about seven or eight fruit trees. i have garden boxes. i have a greenhouse. it's another 10 gallons a day. i keep buckets in my bathroom, in my kitchen a few years ago, younger brother came to stay with me for about six months. i was shocked because he would go in and take half an hour showers. cla

in my country i don't see any evidence of it except this third party that is so criticized the green party among others arrows make fun of it. you know why i don't know me so well a year in america i always had the feeling the democrats would the at least we were concerned about peace now that seems to have been squandered that feeling is squandered and i don't sense any any sense of consensus the only one who did was bernie sanders and if you remember correctly he very rarely mentioned foreign policy he stayed away from it because he knew that was a third rail for him and he was to socialistic for america to actually well i don't know much because america may hand up in relatively has to go at least may have to go more socialistic in order to survive because if things fall apart and we continue to have crises after crises stock market explosions and so forth and meltdowns there has to be right and there were no way to trump to change something but remember mr obama song what was it seven hundred fifty billion dollars into the economy that's i would call that a socialist move. so you know
