dagen just did usual great job sub hosting on bulls and bears, ben stein at a rally, who knows. what do you think of this push and how it's changing things and may be hurting donald trump in the process? >> well, look, it's post election stress disorder, the best way i can describe it. it started with the jill stein and this recount that lasted three minutes. but for me if you just go back to wikileaks, this is the m.o. of the party. they use the media and they isolate something, which is russia, and basically what they're doing is they're going after donald trump. and it doesn't start here. it's going to start when he starts his presidency 1,460 days of driving to the hoop on the guy. and there's nothing you can do about it. day in, day out. >> all right. but they have to sway 37 electors, essentially. can they do that? >> no. i had the misfortune of interviewing miss pelosi as well. and i can tell you amazing. >> not a fan of yours either. >> no, she's not. here's the thing, neil, obviously the effort to delegitimize donald trump's presidency before it even begins. we understa

"we count at least 4 times every ece of paper verifying that we're correct." schuch-krebs says they decided on the hand count method when they first heard about the recount. "i felt it was a good way to assure the voters that our machines are 100 percent accurate." although the cost - reflects the extra work - 178,000 have been budgeted for the county - adding up to around $2 dollars and 31 cents for each ballot.
