show host and jamie green a clinton advisor and fox news contributor, chris, that listen to that talk. impassioned on capitol hill from corey booker and a short while ago, some of these folks are painting him practically as a racist with their focus on this. what is your take? >> i would delete practically. the effort to paint him as a racist and republicans defend him and call everybody a racist and i have seen this and that is standard protocol from the playbook. jeff sessions if he were a democrat would have a stellar record and if there was a d behind his name he prosecuted the son of the kkk in alabama and shut down through a sieveit suit shut down the kkk statewide. he fought against school segregation in alabama and every person he was fighting against was a democrat. and start with that. if there were a d after his name the democrats would sing his praises because of his great civil right's record. but he is unfortunately for him a white republican from alabama. >> southener in theory makes him a easier target. how do you think it is going? what is your take on this? >> to the conversation with chris. i t

chris. honestly, what chuck schumer and the democrats are facing up on the hill is an inability to ultimately stop a lot of these nominations. that they can make noise about tom price at hhs and some of the other nominees, but ultimately the votes aren't going to be there for many of them. supreme court nomination, that's coming. a policy agenda, especially when he's in office, president trump is able to make some gains on the jobs front, they may not be able to stop there. the inauguration is a rallying cry for a lot of democrats and liberals who are very upset about the results of this election. who don't see -- it's not legitimate. that's a very strong word. who have concerns about the tone and message that president-elect trump has set and this is a big day to do it. you know, a lot of people have felt, you know, probably since the supreme court decision in 2000 on bush v. gore, you know, that legitimacy. >> john lewis was one of those people who felt that way in 2000. he didn't good to president bush's inauguration. >> sure. >> panel, thank you very much. stick around, we have more quest

chris murphy. he was on our air today talking about what the president said in the meeting today on capitol hill. take a listen to this. >> i think what he's saying is that we didn't win the messaging war on the rollout of health care bill in part because of the disaster of the technology, right, people couldn't get onto the website in those first few days. there's still 20 million americans who have health care sfur insurance. >> i wanted to give you a chance to quickly respond to that before we ran out of time. >> sure. the website was a mess when we rolled it out in october of 2013. good news is it was fixed by december of 2013, and we had 8 million people able to enroll in i'll take 20 million people with new health insurance and a bungled website any day of the week. >> all right. madam secretary, we're going it have to leave it at that. great to you with us. i'm sure this debate is going to go on for months to come. we'll certainly have you u back on. >> i'm sure it will. >> kathleen sebelius. >>> ahead, what donald trump is touting the wick ke leaks founder this time around. >>> and first

. >> good evening, i'm chris matthews in washington on what was a very busy day on the capitol. president obama and vice president-elect mike pence were both on the hill today meeting with their respective parties. mike pence held a pep talk focussing on killing obamacare. the president huddled with democrats and strategizes to safe the health care law. meanwhile, president-elect donald trump continued his assault on the u.s. intelligence committee over the intelligence briefing on so-called russia hacking was delayed until friday. perhaps more time to build a case, very strange. of course even as he promised to hold a press conference next week. first and last july. trump tweeted somebody hacked the dnc, but why not have hacking defense like the ravens and why have they not responded to the terrible things they did and said? total double standard. media as usual gave them a pass. even quoted the hacker julian assange calling america media coverage very dishonest. more dishonest than anyone knows. by an american president to undermine the press. how does accountable work? good question. david is washington borough chief and msnbc political analyst and

morgan hill to gilroy. i believe chris henry, our viewer, he needs 6 and a quarters inches of rain to get 20 inches for the movement that is a tremendous amount of rain for anybody but especially towards the santa clara valley. i think he will get it between now and monday. i don't see how six inches could not fall. too much moisture coming across. there's a mix, i should say of precip of snow and rain. south lake tahoe. i've got to get up to the mountains. go now. this will be your best bet between now and sunday. there could be two to four inches. maybe even four to six north of santa rosa for some. gusts 40 to 50 miles per hour. tahoe up to the mountains, within enter storm warning starts at noon and goes through noon on thursday. then it kicks back in on friday. the snow level is coming down. warm air ahead of this. but cold air is coming. brutally cold up in alaska. i think fairbanks is close to 50 below this morning. are we getting that cold air? no we're not getting the brutal cold. but some will work its way in the

hill. thanks very much for that. we're back with democratic senator chris koonz.m price is concerned, you heard some of the tough questions, the accusations that he was trading in health care stocks while pursuing legislation that would directly affect those companies. from your perspective, was that a disqualifying maneuver? >> wolf, there was a fairly disturbing amount of dancing going on there by congressman price, both in not answering in a forthright way questions about his plans for providing health care for the american people once the aca is repealed which is president trump's promise, and not being forthright about his investments and whether or not those investments were a real conflict of interest. if the facts prove out as suggested in the hearing clip that you provided and that i've seen in the press publicly, i think it would be a disqualifying act and something that ought to be investigated further. >> why are you opposing mickey haley to become the next u.s. ambassador to the u.n.? >> i know there are very few who share that position. she did very

chris', the one in new york and the one in chicago. >> coming up after our next break, the busy news day of the best of today's action on capitol hill including testimony from trump's pick for attorney generals as "the 11th hour" continues. >>> my question is very simple is grabbing a woman by her genitel, is that sexual harassment? >> yes. >> he's the first trump nominee to start this vetting process on capitol hill and the work of the senate judiciary. joining me here is our eugene and charlie syke is here with us. before we start this, i want to hear from senator sessions on the subject of race. >> i hope that i have shown you of the character that created of me was not accurate. it was not accurate then and it is not accurate now. and have no doubt it existed in a systematic and powerful and negative way onto the people and great millions of people in the south, particularly of our country -- i know that was wrong. i know we needed to do better. we can never go back. eugene, you said on the air tonight when journalist reported about him, they called him jefferson -- >> he's a 70-year-old man born in alabama. everyone is going to
