secretary clinton did not. he then flew to arizona and gave again a ten-point plan on how to reform our immigration system. people may say they don't like it but at least they can read it, they can examine it. he has one. it's there. he delivered it over about 45, 60 minutes and i'm sure it's on the website somewhere. so in that regard, he explained how he would approach the immigration system if he were to be elected. >> president-elect trump, without question, offended many minority groups and women who are a majority, during this election. whether it is mocking a disabled reporter or seeming to question whether judge curio could do his job because of his heritage. did he ever in private express any regret about that? we heard from him on election night a desire to bring the country together. >> yes. >> but that job will be tougher because of some of the things he said, mostly before you came on board. >> i won't divulge private conversations but i will tell you that shortly after a came an board mr. trump wa

i asked clinton campaign manager robby mook about the moment that ended hillary clinton's bid to becomeohn podesta spoke to supporters saying that hillary clinton was not going to have any comments that evening. a lot of people were surprised that there wouldn't be any closure given the fact that it was apparent that donald trump had won. we now know that president obama said you need to concede. she did. the next morning, she was going to give her concession speech. took a couple hours before she gave a speech. much celebrated speech praised by everyone. what was going on behind the scenes? >> well, little fact-checking there -- >> yeah, please. >> we set the time for that speech the night before. we wanted to give our people time to show up and be there. it's not as if that speech was delayed. we -- >> the impression was boy, she's having a tough time with this. like kellyanne, i'm not going to get into private conversations she had. she made the decision to call donald trump. >> she didn't do that president obama told her? >> she made that decision on her own before she spoke to the

they golfed together, trump donate money to the clinton administration, he defended bill clinton in the press. bill and hillary were guests at trump's third wedding to melania. then came an election where donald trump attacked hillary clinton as crooked, dishonest, unstable, unhinged, a criminal, a nasty woman and, oh, yeah, the devil. he paraded out a series of women who accused bill clinton of abuse. yesterday it was announced that bill clinton and donald trump spoke by phone. clinton was surprised that trump acted cordial on the call like it was 15 years ago. for clinton, raw feelings remain. in reference to trump he recently told a local newspaper in westchester county with the he doesn't know much, one thing he does know is how to get angry white men to vote for him." this morning trump did what trump does, he hit back heating -- bill clinton stated i called him after the election. wrong. he called me after the elections. he doesn't know much, especially how to get people, even with an unlimited budget, out to vote on vital swing states and more. later today, clinton conceded he wa

secretary clinton took off a lot in august.had 137 events to her 88 or so events after these convent n conventions. donald trump did not take five days off before that final debate in las vegas, secretary clinton did, everybody said she's so brilliant to take off five days, voters looked at that and said, where are you? c come to me and bring the message. >> he will be a very active president for all in the country. time for those who lost to say he's their president, too. >> you are correct, neither one of you yelled at each other, very respectful. >> this is called the full jersey, we're jersey guys and gals. >> fair enough. >> and new york. thank you both. a little less heated than harvard. >>> in case you missed it just now, hillary clinton lost the election despite winning in the popular vote by 2.5 million and cou counting. >>> coming back, why we may be seeing that kind of result more frequently in the near term. david. what's going on? oh hey! ♪ that's it? yeah. ♪ everybody two seconds! ♪ "dear sebastian, after careful

according to the record review in bedford, new york, bill clinton said -- >> clinton also reacted torump's claim that he won in a landslide, saying landslide, i thought something like 370 electoral votes was a landslide. he only got 306. what are your thoughts, jonathan? >> what do you say to that? what we've seen since election day is a president-elect who lives in his own world where he won the popular vote, he won in one of the biggest landslide victories in the history of ever. and then decides to call the former president of the united states, bill clinton, and, you know, sort of give a compliment to him about his wife. clearly being mindful of what that conversation might do to the former president. i mean, his wife lost the election. he took it very personally. and so while i understand former president bill clinton accepting the call from the president-elect, i'm not sure what the president-elect was hoping to get out of it. >> and it is weird, okay? i'll throw this to either one of you. donald trump's campaign trotted out accusers, women accusers of bill clinton during the c

she is going to spend the rest of her life being non-president clinton while you'll be president clintonyou will say almost anything to try to make her feel good, and i think that's what you're seeing. what is bill going to do? he's not going to get up and say, i don't know why but my wife just failed. he can't do that. think what christmas would be like. i give him a certain slack. i figure it is christmas week, bill. do what you can, i understand it. but none of the rest of us should take it seriously. >> you're being generous. i mean, it was that angry white male comment -- >> come on, come on, it is christmas. >> as you point out, donald trump exceeded mitt romney in the hispanic vote, he exceeded mitt romney in the african-american vote as well. hillary clinton, what was the turning point, we have about 30 seconds or so, what was the turning point? why did she lose the election? >> she lost because she didn't have the energy and drive to go to pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin. in the end donald trump out worked her. he was doing five and six big rallies a day. she is doing one s

much like hillary clinton.'s interesting and ironic, that a billionaire who is born with a silver spoon in his mouth, in the city, managed to somehow connect with the rust belt of this country, people who -- bear a lot more in common with hillary than donald trump. >> how did he do it? >> i really don't know. i think that maybe he -- you know, he made -- look, i think that there are a lot of people in the rust belt and in the middle of this country who are left out, and feel it, and want to be seen and heard. and somehow he managed to make them feel scene. and apparently the other party did not. so -- >> how does the democratic party -- you're a political guy. how does the democratic party get back to bobby kennedy, you have a candidate that appeals to the working class and also the african-americans and mexican americans. he was able to do that. how can you do that again? democrats can't do that any more. why not? what are they going to do to fix that problem? >> i don't know, but i think they have to start by

anyone but clinton. anyone but clinton's fault that she lost. donna brazile, you heard her. this is someone who leaked questions about debates and town halls to hillary clinton. should she even have a voice going guard forward in the poli debate? >> cnn believed this and they fired her. i like donna personally. i've known her for years. she's a wonderful human being. but she got caught up in something that was really to her disadvantage. i suspect she will not be there much longer as national committee chair. but the one that i think is far more interesting is the campaign chairman who remember was in charge of $1 billion, $1 billion, had the incumbent president as his ally, as the national nude media as his ally and they lost. he's looking for anybody he can blame in order to get out from under this. and it's almost comical to watch them look. i think the next phase will be it was martians, this was all done by martians and hillary would have won except for the martians. >> john podesta. the reports are that she got angry with both of them. former president bill clinton sai

clinton bill clinton, and he's done that.l clinton said he called me the day after, and it's like nothing had ever happened, that's what bill clinton preaches that you do, and we do have, for those who actually want to look at the president-elect and instead of just writing pieces about how he's a nazi, try to figure out how he's going to govern, you can look at the example of carlos slim, barack obama, mitt romney, bob gates. you can look at that to see that this guy will say really, really tough, vicious things, out of bounds. polite society considers way out of bounds, but he always seems to be in the friend making business. and this is one extreme example of it. but i suspect over the next several months and possibly years, we're going to be able to name hundreds of examples of it. >> i was struck by the same thing. bill clinton who during impeachment would watch the hearings during the day and strike deals with the same republicans trying to impeach him in the evening. donald trump, i just quoted all the time because it'

with all due respect to hillary clinton. mark: hillary clinton. john: hillary clinton. john: trump. mark: trump. john: trump. john: thanks, guys. we'll take it from here. these are their stories. >> am i supposed to stay something? mark: will take it from here. parts sappy and semi-sober. most things, even the good ones, are ephemeral. we conclude what has been a very memorable, very sleep-deprived, roughly two years of this program, "with all due respect." we have a special show planned with special guests. i the words of taylor swift, am dying to see how this one ends. let's start with news in our final check-in on donald trump's admin building efforts. last night in cincinnati, the retiredt-elect let slip general james mattis as attorney general. atannounced a february forum the white house will include ofhtness of the -- titans the corporate world, which will include jamie dimon, and my iger. boss, bob this is surprising and impressive. with you make of the corporate giants signing up to help the next president? john: we have been having the discussion in our world of politics a

clinton and senator tim kaine. two separate boxes. that scene was repeated in state capitals across the country. a box for hillary clinton and said -- and tim kaine. in politico.tory some democrats criticized hillary clinton and her supporters for not embracing an effort to stop donald trump on this day. stephen shepard: you mentioned the hamilton electors who wanted to try by choosing another candidate who may also be palatable to the republican electors try to overturn the electoral college results. they were looking for a signal from the clinton campaign that this was an acceptable and desired outcome. we did not see that. that is why you saw only a handful of democratic electors pilaf in that effort that i mentioned including colin powell. we did not see that. i think there was a clear effort. witheard that starting hillary clinton's concession speech the day after the election. an effort to move on it publicly and not mount any kind of pure is challenge. the only tangentially joined the recount that jill stein

he softened up hillary clinton. i was at the same convention in philadelphia and the fact is, his supporters were still out there protesting her. he was in the hall being a dutiful democratic convention soldier but his supporters were not. and you saw on election day, you read the polls and so many of on election day were upset by the way he was treated and their views were never fully into theed clinton-kaine campaign. i assume her choice of tim kaine had to do something with virginia and something with not being overshadowed. he was not effective in the end, at the beginning and certainly not the fight's presidential debate. he interrupted the female moderator about 36 times. someone -- i had worked with mike pence for over 10 years. he has been in congress for 12 years, 10 of which he sat on the foreign affairs committee. a very effective governor of indiana. we'll only thought if we were going to bust that blue ball, it would be with a running mate who our himself with the concerns of the working-class voters. j

it is amazing, they ignore the collusion between the media and clinton camp., the racism, misogyny, sexism, anti-semitism at the dnc. the only thing that matters here, if it hurts donald trump let's make it up even though he denies it and there's no evidence that proves it. >> liberals, anti-trumpers, remember, hillary clinton didn't want to come out and concede the election that night. allegedly reports say she got violent with podesta and robby mook. it was their fault first. then it became voter fraud, so we had to go through this charade song and dance of recounts, it didn't work out. then it became it was the russian's fault, they affected the election. it is none of the above. they had a flawed candidate. hillary clinton is the worst candidate, not necessarily the worst human being but the worst candidate to run for president in my lifetime. the russians didn't make her come up with deplorables, and it wasn't donald trump who made obamacare premiums sky rocket the week of the election. >> julian assange is clear it was no state whatsoever. there was a re

hillary clinton was treated unfairly all the time by the media. there were a total different set of rules. she really believes there are a different set of rules for hillary clinton. >> nicolle, having gotten to know you and the rest of our family on television, i think we've been surprised at how much at your level the professionals know and like each other. you guys are essentially all friends, and i know you talked to jenpaulmary tonight. >> i did, and we had a version of that conversation. did you ever think she would be defeated by a man who boasted about grabbing a woman in the genitals? it's pretty base, right? we talked about hidden stuff in the end, the hidden hillary vote, the hidden trump vote. i think there is hidden sexism. it is rampant. the first woman candidate from either party was defeated by someone who bragged about being a sexual aggressor, a sexual predator. i don't want to dance around the words. and he is someone who white supremacists are excited about. those are cold, hard facts. what he said today is really important. he

earlier this month, bill clinton spoke with "the record review," a small weekly newspaper near the clintonsme in chappaqua. they did it while the former president was browsing at a local bookstore. in those comments obtained by politico, clinton acknowledged he received a phone call from trump on the day after the election and that the manhattan billionaire was strangely cordial, "like it was 15 years ago." "trump doesn't know much but one thing he does know is how to get angry white men to vote for him." he also addressed suspected russian cyber attacks damaging his wife's candidacy saying, "you would need to have a single-digit iq not to recognize what was going on." he took a dig at trump's win asking, "landslide? i got something like 370 electoral votes," correctly recalling his 1992 total, "that was a landslide." >> excellent pundit. >>> the diplomatic spat between the u.s. and china over that underwater drone has come to an end finally after beijing announced overnight it was going to return the device. china says it gave back the drone following "friendly talks" with the u.s. the dev

he softened up hillary clinton. was at the same convention in philadelphia and the fact is, his supporters were still out there protesting her. he was in the hall being a dutiful democratic convention soldier but his supporters were not. many of his supporters on election day were upset by the way he was treated and their views were never a simulated into the clinton-kaine campaign. i assume her choice of tim kaine had to do something with virginia and something with not being overshadowed. he was not a affected pic in the end, at the beginning and certainly not the fight's presidential debate. he interrupted the female moderator about 36 times. someone -- i had worked with mike pence for over 10 years. he has been in congress for 12 years, 10 of which he is set on the foreign affairs committee. we always thought if we were going to get past that blue ball, it would be with a running mate who our himself with the concerns of the working-class voters. hillary clinton called donald trump to concede the election but wh

you william jefferson clinton. , william] -- thank you jefferson clinton.

[applause] it hasmo: thank you, been moved and seconded that the electoral college of the state of new york he adjourn. all those in favor signify by saying "aye." opposed? the motion is carried. please welcome the reverent who will offering benediction -- please welcome the reverend who will offer a benediction. god, ithty and eternal upon yourhat we call name. we thank you, almighty god, for this wonderful privilege to have gathered in our state capitol into this building. as you have been with us in the past, i'm sure you will guide us

had her votes gone to clinton -- >> we would have won. maybe our travel schedule had been different, we could have won. but what we think accounts for the big dropoff -- i'm talking about a big dropoff, like five to two points in each of these states, is the comey letter. and that isn't to say that there's not things that our campaign could have done better or differently or in retrospect that we would do differently. i have dreams that i understand we have a problem, we have a week to fix them and then i wake up and it's not true. so there's a lot more that we could have done but we had accounted for all of our challenges and our problems and we were positioned to win and i think that comey letter was just -- it was one thing too many to absorb. >> what is your opinion of why director comey did what he did? >> i do not know. i really do not know. >> do you think he was trying to skew the vote toward trump? >> i don't personally want to believe that and i don't personally -- i do not believe that. but it had that impact. i understand that

and then there's hillary clinton. remember how she was attacking donald trump after he said he would wait until after the lx befo election before accepting the results? take a look at this. >> that's horrifying. you know every time donald thinks things are not going in his direction, he claims whatever it is rigged against him. now make no mistake by doing that he is threatening our democracy. i got to tell you, as your secretary of state, i went to 112 countries and i went to countries where people were jailed for being political opponen opponents, where they were exiled, where they were killed. i take this really seriously. and for me the peaceful transfer of power is one of the things that makes our country great. >> i guess not. so why won't the democrats listen to their own advice and criticism on this issue? here's a fact. it's because they don't care about you, the people they think are irredeemable, the basket of deplorables. the left only care about people who live apparently in new york, los angeles, san fra

haven't changed. >> but from clinton's point of view, the clinton camp's point of view, what's going to end up happening is that the pre-election night polling, which predicted that hillary would win by two or three points -- >> is true. >> is true. she didn't win in the right places. from the trump side, look, they were branded as illegitimate, that they didened deserve to be in the race. that trump was something completely outside of politics. to continue the football analogy, they're spiking it in the end zone repeatedly because after having been told they didn't know what they were doing, they didn't deserve to be in politics, that they were unqualified and disructive in a way we have never seen in american politics before, they won. what was kellyanne conway's answer to every criticism? we won. >> i love your analysis. so interesting, and a separate panel at harvard, corey lewandowski, he's back, had a message -- by the way, the guy that never got paid, he was there, too. they had a comment, we shouldn't have taken everything the candidate said so literally. this is a new kind o

clinton was very likely to win. look, if you are a normal human being and see nine out of 10 polls say she is ahead, you are going to draw the not an obvious conclusion that she's probably going to win the election. i also think the other intangible -- and i hate to keep going back to this -- that i'm a pollster and like a good candidate stays on message, one of the things, if you hook all of us up to a lie detector, we would have said yes, we believe she is going to win. but it's going to be difficult. and there are things where you could see donald trump could win. but the big sticking point to going over the other side, which is where we are now, that he could win, was how unpopular he was. i think one of the things we underestimated as analysts and maybe i should say me and not we so as not to condemn everybody else, but we said this in our analysis, but it's not as provocative as saying he was the most unpopular person to run for president. mrs. clinton was the second most unpopular person to run for president.

and then there's hillary clinton. remember how she was attacking donald trump after he said he would wait until after the lx befo election before accepting the results? take a look at this. >> that's horrifying. you know every time donald thinks things are not going in his direction, he claims whatever it is rigged against him. now make no mistake by doing that he is threatening our democracy. i got to tell you, as your secretary of state, i went to 112 countries and i went to countries where people were jailed for being political opponen opponents, where they were exiled, where they were killed. i take this really seriously. and for me the peaceful transfer of power is one of the things that makes our country great. >> i guess not. so why won't the democrats listen to their own advice and criticism on this issue? here's a fact. it's because they don't care about you, the people they think are irredeemable, the basket of deplorables. the left only care about people who live apparently in new york, los angeles, san fra

and madam secretary hillary clinton. my relationship began in 1992, when i went down to work on the transitions committee for the president -- incoming president william jefferson clinton and vice president al gore. 1992. it was just like yesterday. i was leaving new york because i was going to go out and see the rest of the world and rid myself of standing behind my father's shadow. i worked in the transition. the president was gracious enough to offer me a position at housing urban development. i was a 100% new yorker with the new york style and the new york rhythm and the new york cadence. i started going around the country and the new york style and cadence was slightly out of rhythm with other parts of the country, and sort of like "my cousin vinny," came and the president took me aside one day and he was explaining to me how sometimes you want to just slow down, it's more about just hospitality and just chatting with people, not always about function. and he said go down to arkansas which we wanted to get some thin

i would does the clintons, why didn't hillary clinton get 60 or 62% of the female vote. what's wrong with her running as the first female president? why does she have the gender gap among men where they disliked her, didn't want her to be president of the united states or commander in chief. they distrusted her. she couldn't bring together the obama coalition and couldn't bring together the bill clinton coalition. it's simple. >> those comments i would call deplorable and ir redeemable, is that okay. >> shotgun like that. but i would just call them dead wrong and it's time to -- look, it's time for the clintons to do what the obamas have done. which is to each up the door and say, we are here to help you have a peaceful transition in our great democracy. we're one month away from january 20th, and it's really time for the clinton to tell all of their adherers, protesters, the electoral strategy which failed, the hashtag, it's time for them to tell everybody to support these guys. >> let's tell the audience, rumor today that kellyanne conway is going to move to the washin

i think bill clinton should have take an point and learned what hillary clinton said the day after. this doesn't do any good. and to go after donald trump support skers say they are just a bunch of angry white men is a bad strategy for democrats moving forward. this is what they said the entire campaign and it came back to bite them in the rear end. if he's smart about this. he'll stop talking about. this wish donald trump well and walk away from the white house and literally don't comment or undermine the next president. you see that's why there's good rapport with george bush 43 and barack obama even with their transitions as smooth as they were. >> i don't know why you are making this about bill clinton. the reality is he's not a factor anymore. he'll not be the next president of the united states. donald trump will be. and that is where the country's focus should be. we need to figure how to bridge that gap that has divided us. and no person is more responsible for building that bridge than donald trump. >> -- i -- >> -- president obama for besmirching his reputation for five ye

you know hillary clinton lost the election. you know president, the first lady with all respect to her, she came out and said he was not proud to be an american when he was elected -- >> she said for the first time in my adult life i'm proud of my country. >> so she wasn't proud. i'm proud of my country that we're able to take the people's vote, the majority of the country voted someone for change. >> she's living in a bubble. 13 million more americans on food stamps, 8 million more in poverty. michelle, your husband didn't get the job done. >> i want a government that really drains the swamp. >> you want to come work for me in new york. >> i want a government that defunds sanctuary cities. i want a government that really builds the wall. i want a government that has real borders. >> stay right where you are. we're coming back with both of you. we've got an important story out of california, mother of four missing. police charged her illegal imgrant husband for possible murder and now are asking for the public's help. we'll tal

moments in new york as bill clinton, former president casting the ballot for hillary clinton and senator tim kaine, two separate boxes, and that scene was reported in state capitals around the county, a box for hillary clinton and donald trump and a box for senator tim kaine or mike pence. a story posted today some democrats criticizing hillary clinton for not embracing an effort to stop donald trump on this day. >> some of the - you mentioned the hamilton electors who wanted to try. by choosing another candidate palatable, trying to overturn the electoral college and results. they were looking for a signal from the clinton campaign that this was an acceptable and desired outcome. we didn't see that. that's why you saw a handful of democratic electors. that's why i mentioned the three votes that colin powell got in the united states. i think there was a clear effort starting with hillary clinton's contested speech, a day after the elections, an effort to move on publicly and not mount a serious change. they only tangentially joined a recount pushed for in the three states mentioned. mich

bill: so that's hillary clinton's campaign manager refusing to say the race between clinton and trump fair. so what's karl rove got to say about that now? we'll talk to him live in a moment in studio. martha: look at this. this is not what you want to happen out there, bill. bill: no! martha: what happened here, and how did it all turn out? live from fox news capital of the world, midtown manhattan, all dressed up for christmas. take a look, folks. bill: yeah, we are. martha: there it is. is this going to fit on your tree? all lined up if for you. ♪ ♪ martha: so some new video of terrifying moments on the slopes. check this out, a snow snowboarder got caught on the chair lift. he can be seen dangling here. this is not what you want to happen. this is in oregon just over a week ago. the lift was stopped, rescuers were able to get the victim down but, boy, everybody was holding their breath for a while on that one. thankfully, everybody's okay. bill: looks like hemmer sometimes on the slopes. >> i think russians clearly intervened in the election. clinton got 2.9 million more votes than

the entity that had to investigate what hillary clinton did rather than hillary clinton for what she did originally. this is further evidence that she jeopardized national security by putting classified information in places it couldn't be, providing access potentially to our enemies worldwide. and it's astounding that they continue to blame the fbi for having to do an investigation caused by her actions rather than her. harris: rachel? rachel: i hate disagreeing with steve, i disagree, as a republican, i am so happy to have a leader who is tweeting back on this stuff and punching back for once because this is the kind of bogus, using clinton's words, stuff they do. there was nothing boag bus what they've done. not that the classified e-mails existed on a server that they didn't permit. it ended up not just on any laptop, the laptop of a huge weirdo who could have been extorted. >> a pedophile. rachel: this is serious stuff. for bill clinton to say bogus, good for trump for getting them back. . steve: donald trump has a thousand people who could make the argument for him. the things

clinton did not have a secret server. >> however the hack hit the dnc and not clinton's home server, and in a speech to her campaign donors, clinton said her past criticism of putin's illegitimate election made her his target. >> he direct the covert cyber attacks against our electoral system, against our democracy, apparently because he has a personal beef against me. >> clinton blamed putin and the fbi letter about her e-mail investigation for her defeat. >> i happen to believe this, that that letter most likely made the difference in the outcome. >> preparing to leave the white house, first lady michelle obama hinted at her disappointment over the results in an interview with oprah winfrey. >> see, now we're feeling what not having hope feels like, you know? hope is necessary. it's a necessary concept, and barack did not just talk about hope because he thought it was a nice slogan to get votes, and he and i and so many believe what else do you have if you don't have hope? >> reporter: also this morning, donald trump is tweeting about an issue with china, one of the most delicate r

hillary clinton blames the fbi for her loss. now the attorney general weighs in. >> it was painful for me. >> what lioretta lynch wishes they could take back. our exclusive exit interview with her next. family business. the trump kids have a seat at the transition table and a hand in the family global business empire. democrats cry foul. will trump sell any of these businesses. the best political minds will be here with insights on what happens next. hello. i'm jake tapper in washington where the state of our union is walking through a winter wonderland more specifically we are wondering what 2017 will be like in the shall we say unprecedented nature of it all before heading to florida for christmas, donald trump gave what he said would be the final rally of his so-called thank you tour and then promised to do more rallies. >> this is the last time i'll be speaking at a rally for maybe a while. you know. they are saying as president he shouldn't be doing rallies. but i think we should, right? we've done everything else the oppos

we heard from hillary clinton. apparently last night according to the "new york times" talking to donors saying this was an attempt to undermine our democracy. here's a little more of what the president said when he did an interview with npr. take a listen. >> i think there is no doubt that when any foreign government tries to impact the integrity of our elections that we need to take action. and we will at a time and place of our choosing. some of it may be explicit. and publicized. some of it may not be. >> already there's been criticism about why something wasn't done sooner. there was talk about executive actions before the election. there was concern obviously within the white house that it would be seen as somehow trying to influence the outcome of the election. so now essentially the president feels that the pressure is on. he knows the questions are being asked on both sides of the aisle. we heard an escalation at the podium when josh earnest talked about this yesterday. he said clearly in an escalation aga

undermining hillary clinton. vladimir putin just like everyone else in the world expected hillary clinton to be elected president. and he hoped she would come into the office slightly undermined by this campaign of revelations. that's what went on here. it's not like he wanted trump. what he was doing was giving hillary clinton serving notice that this was not going to be smooth sailing. charles: it wasn't smooth sailing. charles: we have more data that shows various industries are seeing an upbeat economy in 2017. we'll discuss that next. incredible bladder protection in a pad this thin, i didn't... ...think it would work, but it does. it's called always discreet for bladder leaks, the super... ...absorbent core turns liquid to gel. i know i'm wearing it but no one else will. always discreet for bladder leaks. charles: remember when owning your own home was center piece of american dream, it feels like it was a long time ago, consider that buyer foot traffic, moved last month for first time since july 2005. that

how about it's hillary clinton? she doesn't connect with people, how about they have nothing in common with her. amazing new iphone 7 on theou ge house by switching to at&t... what??.... aand you got unlimited data because you have directv??

hillary clinton also speaking out about the russian attacks. she's now suggesting that putin ordered cyber attacks against her campaign and the democratic national committee because he has a personal grudge against her. we'll guess a republican response from marcia blackburn, and our correspond ens and analysts are standing by as we bring you full coverage of today's top stories. first to our white house correspondent michelle kosinski. you were there at the president's news conference. there were a lot of questions about russian hacking. >> reporter: this was abhour and a half long news conference focused on the hacking, russian influence on the election. you could almost picture vladimir putin watching this and being very pleased with the turmoil he's been able to cause. you're right, the president said it without saying it, making it very clear, though, that he does believe that putin himself had a direct role in all of this. the president defended his administration's actions, defended the fbi, when asked if this was a free and fair electio

remember, hillary clinton and bill clinton have to move on. i don't know what fantasies they have about their daughter running for public office one day but all of these democrats are scrambling for jobs. they're staying in this party. they're not going to leave the democratic party. there's nothing left of it so they're under different pressure from different groups and activists to remain engaged and say yes this is an outrage. >> when it comes to the media coverage do you think this is a big story that they did the same thing with the recount, kind of hands off. not opposing it. but now secretly were in touch with these people and i was kind of dismissing the whole thing as, up know, a show, a side show, wasn't going to go anywhere. if i had known the clinton campaign was in regular touch with people i would have tweet treated it as a much bigger story. >> it is a much bigger story but to the moo ed yeah they were downplaying it. >> especially how they played the story up at the end of october to their advantage to make trump -- i think the

they just did not want the clintons.linton clique is seen as creating many of the pressures that plague and trouble russia today. betraying the pledge not to expand nato, revolutions around the country, encouraging revolution in kiev. they really didn't like hillary. trump is an open book. he's like the kid in the hans christian anderson story who finally says the king is naked. why don't we have better relations with russia? it's a really good question. maybe it will turn out we don't have good relations with russia for good geopolitical reasons. but we shouldn't assume in the cold war mentality that's the way it's going to be. >> you think that the preference was -- the preference was just not to have hillary clinton, not a clinton white house rather than to have a trump white house? >> yeah. i mean, the bonus was that trump seems -- trump doesn't care about human rights very much from what he says. trump thinks that everything is a deal that's negotiable. it depends on money. money has no morality. trump pushes around
