ambassador and former energy secretary, bill richardson, it's so nice to see you. you governor richardson because i lived in new mexico. >> i can't keep a job. that's what you called it. >> let's start -- there's so much to talk about. let's start with -- we were talking in the break about lockheed martin because we haven't talk about that this hour. it's one of the many things that donald trump brought up today calling on them to reduce costs on their f-35 program. he also touted that he's going to be a great business leader that he's bringing jobs back for ford and many other companies. is he taking too much credit and what do you think of him wielding this kind of bully pulpit to try to make companies make changes? >> well for me it's mixed because you mention, i was a governor, and one of the things governors do is they go try and snatch jobs for the state. you know, even if it's a small number. >> right. >> i don't like him interfering in the economy like threatening the gms and fords with border taxes and this f-35, but there's one side that i do like. i like

ambassador to the fusion united nations, bill richardson.ernor, thanks very much for joining us. >> thank you very much, wolf. >> do you believe a formal federal investigation into voter fraud in the united states is necessary? >> no, i don't believe it's necessary. i'm flabbergasted that he keeps repeating these claims with zero evidence. who is going to do the investigation? the congress doesn't want to do it. the justice department has to have a complaint. this is a fabrication, a political fabrication. he is trying to justify how hillary clinton beat him close to three million votes by the popular vote. i think that's all it is. he is a sore winner. put this away. nobody is going to do this investigation. i'm flabbergasted that he believes that he could just order an investigation of any kind with zero, zero evidence. >> well, he says that there are a lot of voters out there who are registered, let's say, in your state of new mexico but may be also registered to vote in california if they move, for example, and there are dead people who

governor bill richardson. melissa? >> thanks.et's get to don for the market flash. >> you mentioned tweets in the prior segment here. this is a donald trump report here. there's a report out of bloomberg, headlines coming out now that trump is said to have told a confidant he opposes a proposed deal between at&t and time warner stock. time warner stock is off by 1.3% right now. it was done by close to 4% at its lows of the session in reaction to the bloomberg headline, bloomberg ran headlines saying trump is frustrated with comcast and nbc universal, and, of course, that's the parent company of this network, cnbc, but at&t shares ticked lower as well, not like time warner, but, still, tyler, more reaction from the market to some possible headlines involving donald trump in the stance on certain companies out there. back over to you. >> thank you very much, dom. more reaction to president-elect's tweets on toyota, the ceo of audi north america will join us live. ey a nes nsst..at'soft burotoicicicks.rgll acc an has a it.ic himhe a

so with me now, bill richardson, the former governor of new mexico who also served as energy secretary ambassador to the united nations under bill clinton. what do you think are the big issues that face the energy right now and do you think rick perry's the guy to handle them? >> i do think rick perry's up to the job, although he admitted he made a dumb statements years ago, which we politicians do quite frequently, but i do think he's up to the job, one the big challenges are not just oil and gas issues, in fact there's a minor part of the job. the main challenges are nuclear weapons arsenal, that the department of energy, the national labs, los alamos, nuclear weapons policy, relationships with russia are very important, nuclear waste through various states, electricity issues. the big problem that i have, and i think rick is capable because he has political stature and that's what you need this that job, is what is this president going to do about climate change? i mean the first day, inaugural day, they eliminated the climate change information from the white house website. for ric

tom daschle, bill richardson. there are a lot of democrats who didn't get torpedoed. on't know if price gets torpedoed by the fact is the investment was made one day, he introduces a bill the next day, he makes money the third day. if you are following the money, you would be like, something is going on. >> and if you follow the money, there's a lot about going on on both sides of the aisle. >> the reason the democratic party is doing this is because they don't have any options for their other option is to try to exploit these various issues in people's lives like they're trying to do with his labor secretary twice as well in the hope that they'll push them out. period because they don't have the numbers to stop any of the cabinet choices for president trump. this is all they are left with. the democratic party right now, these cabinet choices are the enemy because you're talking to people that want to fundamentally change the agency that they are going to take over so they are enemy number one to the democratic party right now. >> what i want is for senator bernie san

larry kudlow is here along with governor bill richardson to talk about policies. >> kelly, isn't this -- doesn't this detract and, i don't know, kind of takes attention off the main chance here, which is trump and so forth with all of this footage now, and the media is going to run with this footage? >> you're talking about the protesting? >> oh, yeah. >> they're throwing bombs at each other. >> that story is going to come and go in a day. he's going to be signing legislation tonight that starts to lay out his term. that's exactly what i was going to ask you. we saw him signing bills earlier. doesn't appear like that was anything that had to do with the policies he's about to enact, but maybe as soon as this evening he could start signing those policies out of the oval office. >> yes, or monday. a lot of people speculating on monday. and he's going to go after -- as far as i know, these regulatory roll backs are going to include immigration as much as he can. they may also include obamacare. allot of that stuff is regulatory based. he may go after that. energy. lighten up epa stuff. h

i want to talk about this with bill richardson, the former democratic governor of new mexico who is also former american ambassador to the united nations. governor, good evening. thank you so much for joining us. pleasure to have you. >> thank you, don. >> so tomorrow the president will meet with brsht prime minister theresa may at the white house. two new leaders both elected on populist platforms, and they will have a joint press conference. cnn is reporting that before he left office that president barack obama encouraged the new prime minister to become close to president trump. could this be the beginning of that, do you think? >> well, yes. i think britain is our top ally, always has been, always has supported us. but you know, president trump has not started out too well. he started out by canceling the transpacific partnership. that was 11 countries that he upset. now we're in a potential trade war with mexico and canada. so my hope is that with prime minister may that the special relationship with britain is retained. we need to work together on so many issues, on syria, the uni

bill richardson was supposed to be commerce secretary, he had problems in his background check, he sayssten, i'm going to withdraw my name because there's conflicts. let's see what happens. steve: everybody will have the paperwork by the time it's time to do the voting. we have told you a number of times out in the great state of missouri they had an art contest and william lacey clay displayed this, he's a congressman, he's a democrat from missouri, he displayed the winning piece of art and here it is right here. it depicting ferguson a couple of years ago and as you can see on the left, that's a police officer depicted as a pig. brien: go ahead. steve: outcry, you can't put that up in congress and people have said, clay, take it down. well, just in the last couple of days congressman dunkin hunter took matters into his own hands and took it off the wall and took it to clay's office. ainsley: republicans are saying why is this hanging on the capitol, this is offensive. steve: it is offensive, two cops. brian: not about all cops but those cops. he's a high school student. yesterday lace

remember bill richardson withdrew his nomination. tom daschle. that. >> exactly. neil: let me ask you, rex tillerson, former exxon ceo, up for secretary of state. it is 52-48 republican senate. if you have lindsey graham and john mccain, shall we say anxious about this appointment. now you're down to 50, assuming democrats vote in unison against him, not far from a given, wouldn't take much to kick him out, right? >> right. i think if you're looking at all the nominees, this one in particular is where the potential challenge could be. however, i will note that i do think this is where coalition building with democrats comes in. you can imagine a scenario in which joe manchin from west virginia up for re-election in two years i can support him. makes up for the democratic votes. only reason i mentioned lack, for lack of republican votes. manchin has had very favorable things to say about some of these picks. talking about the epa nominee for example. wouldn't be surprised if he crosses the aisle, makes up for some of those republican defections. n

they come to you and you go right to bill richardson. you remember his first comment to you? i was gone. i didn't see whether you pushed back on that. did you push back? did you see him coming and go, god, do i have to do this? did you push back on that? >> i think the first thing he said was that we're at a real low in relations with mexico. i think that's pretty accurate. >> no, he said -- when you let a reality star tweet and that becomes our foreign policy, we're going in the dumper, just total partisan -- he didn't want to talk. >> it was partisan. >> he just wanted to trash. more of the same. >> it was so last administration, yes, absolutely. i can't -- >> all right. >> you, joe, have a stamina that impresses me every day. you go to battle every day. >> you don't? >> some days i can't do it. >> i wondered about that. i said at least we have michelle here. >> yeah. >> but i didn't stay -- unfortunately i didn't stay -- i don't have a neilsen box. >> can i ask michelle, you mentioned the president of mexico is one term, six years. can anyone run again? we have vicente fox

we've known each other -- bill richardson interest and late in the history of the agency, there have only been two nuclear physicist that were the heads of the agency there were a governor or to. the issue from my perspective is being able to manage and prioritize what is important in finding those individuals who are some of the best in the business. you may not be able to bring them into government, but you can draw them in to the process. a great many times because of their patriotic commitment to this country. and so on the cybersecurity side, that will be my intention is to dull fine men and women in our universe is that the dob. and as you know, our national labs, they are the repository of some of the extraordinary brilliance in the world. they truly are the crown jewel of this country from an intellectual and particularly scientific standpoint. putting together a team, obviously working with other agencies. darpa will play an important role. and coordinate across agency will really be important as well and to have the support, not only the administration, but of congress and

senator feinstein mentioned elliott richardson and bill ruckleshouse. they did the same. i knew them both as people of integrity. i know sally yates as a person of integrity. despite the president's strong interest to implement a muslim ban, ms. yates determined that the executive order was not defensible. that was not a surprising conclusion. the executive order discriminates by design. it's wrong, i believe it is illegal. several federal courts have already found president trump's executive order is indefensible. understand what's happening here. i've been here with numerous administrations, republican and democratic. i think one of my first role call vot -- roll call votes was for republican attorney general smith. i then declared i would vote for attorney general barr and we had a voice vote. but these are people i thought would defend the independence of the justice department. as a young law student, i and two or three others picked by the attorney general from different law schools were interviewed by the then attorney general. we asked him similar questions about
