sanders subjected bill clinton's record and by extension, hillary clinton herself. it's a withering cross-examination. the black lives matter movement challenged her and him, bill clinton on his record on crime and on race. and bernie sanders and the occupiers shall wing of the party, the economic economic populist wing and anti- banker way really looked at him and on this one i think rightly so. for the undoing the glass steel making regulations. but for many other things as well. so, this complex of issues and laws and decisions that constituted the clinton legacy that were thought of as positive for the democrats in the 1990s and going forward into the bush years suddenly they were horrible things. suddenly there are things that were racist and corporatist things the democratic party should never ever have done. it's interesting. we have not seen in our lifetime a presidential reputation flip like that. i was struck often over the course of the past year and a half and i wrote a lot of columns, few anyway. trying to remind people of the context of those times. i'

clinton. i'm introducing him in the book for the presidential speechwriter but i assure you i am very unbiased and objective. the book is the latest installment in the series published and edited by the eminent american historians arthur sloss ensured junior. we think that we've counted correctly and this brings the total to 43 of the now 45. barack obama for obvious reasons so congratulations on filling the big hole with bill clinton. i just want to say that he is in very esteemed company. they are distinguished academics and journalists but it is without a doubt true he drew the shortest straw and it's been commented on wisely. there is an enormous amount is quite voluminous for the challenge to anyone trying to write the story in brief. it's in the 150 pages. so we congratulate you again. please welcome michael. [applause] >> good evening everyone. thank you for those kind words and thank you for doing this. it's very nice to know that it's in such good hands. it's nice to see this turn out

hillary clinton india. as it happens, google's parent company, alphabet, was a top clinton donor. its chief executive worked on the clinton campaign. last year, former facebook insiders alleged they "r suppressed news stories of interest to conservative readers." we hear from a lot of people that they don't trust "politico" or facebook or google or whoever it might be that's trying to sort through the truth or the facts. susan: we're looking at a crisis of faith in institutions. the media, being one set of institutions that is under assault. more broadly, political parties you know, no longer have the trust and the faith. sharyl: torba claims twitter censors conservatives, but not liberals for similar behavior. on gab, anything goes, he says, as long as it's legal, not inciting violence, and not exposing information like credit cards. mr. torba: what we're doing is instead of us playing big brother and, you know, curating content and deciding what is news and what isn't and what people should see and what t

clinton: i think her for what she did for me.he worked with me for a couple months, she was not here for the whole time. and i think her for what she did to me. -- for me. i was grateful for that help. ] nd video clip brian: that is you. barbara: that is me. brian: what is your reaction to that? barbara: i see that and so much more, it is exposure therapy for me. i don't have much of a reaction at this point. i will say that acknowledgment pages can go into hundreds of names. mrs. clinton came up with 16 pages and she was afraid she would leave somebody out. that to me does not seem at a good enough reason to have an acknowledgment page, especially because i would be thanked in my contract. the thing about not been acknowledged is that i did not need the attention if i would have been one name it in a sea of names. that i have been thanked for my good cheer or whatever standard line it is that people use. brian: how did, how did you get involved with her in the first place? barbara: i have done a lot of work for simon and schuste

hillary clinton -- hillary clinton -- hillary clinton -- that was a reset. remember it said reset? hillary clinton tried a reset and it failed. hillary clinton gave away 20% of the uranium in the united states. >> donald trump obviously needs an enemy. he sold the ""chicago tribune" i enjoy beating people and winning. yesterday he was still all over here. it looks like donald trump is looking for a new enemies number one, this afternoon tweeting his harshest attack yet. "the fake news media is not my enemy." >> the press is out of control. the press should be ashamed of themselves. tomorrow they will say donald trump rants and raves at the press. i'm not ranting and raving. i'm just telling you you're dishonest people. >> his part is straight forward. it's not just the blatant attacks on the press getting notice. there's also a communication strategy that trump administration is deploying. today, for example, his press secretary basically went to town on an a.p. report that the trump administration was considering using national guard troops to round up undocumented immigrants. irr

clinton: i did this -- [applause] pres. clinton: i did this -- [cheers and applause] pres. clinton: i did this so that we can argue about our set of priority with the same numbers. so nobody could say i was estimating my way out. i did this so that if we can agree together on the most prudent revenues where likely to get, if the recovery stays and we do the right thing economically it will turn out better for the american people than it did in the last 12 years because there were differences in the revenue estimates. you and i know that both parties were given greater elbowroom for irresponsibility. this is tightening the rain on the democrats as well as a republican so we can argue about the same set of numbers so the american people will think -- [applause] pres. clinton: taken together, this will save the average american families less than $12 a month. it will cost families with an income under $30,000 nothing because of other programs we proposed, principally those raising the earned income tax credits. because of the publicly stated desire to increase the deficit, if

this, meaning hillary clinton. we had no more contact after that, but i had so much respect for her and in my life, she was anolder woman who was amazing model. o'brien: why do you think you had no contact after that? barbara: well, she recommended me to be the ghost writer for "it takes a village." she was not the editor for it and my memory -- nobody told me directly, but it is what i heard at the time, that she was editing other books where it would have been a conflict of interest for her to be the actual editor on it, but she recommended me for it and so, hillary clinton is a huge moneymaker for simon & schuster so i was collateral damage in was barbara feinman-todd versus simon & schuster. brian: why did you wind up writing this book for morrow, owned by harpercollins? barbara: my literary agent sent -- sent it out to several publishing houses. one of them was william morrow. henry faris is my editor. he was alice mayhew's assistant when i was bob woodward's assistant. we fell out of touch, we had not talked

so doesn't that make him clinton? kennedy: if he lost. but of course every me a for if you push it -- every metaphor breaks down if you push it too hard. kennedy: there was a certain outcome for the atlanta falcons and hillary clinton. >> lady gaga had more yards in the air than the falcons did in the second half. that was a start. matt ryan who played an otherwise great game was the victim of what i thought was some bad play calling. no one expected the falcons to win. she had fireworks barge which is like she thought she was breaking the glass ceiling. all she wound up breaking were a few blackberries. >> for this metaphor to come full circle. when 39 patriots come to d.c., the falcons wives have to protest. kennedy: normally it's guy zell. it's -- it's gizelle. >> they will never stop talking about the election. the bachelor. everything. kennedy: any loser ever it's no longer munson. you are hillary in the middle of nowhere. >> the dog keeps barking bust circus left town. kennedy: democratic senators are digging in for a nasty confirma

hillary clinton is a huge moneymaker for simon & schuster.hat.collateral damage in versus feinman todd hillary clinton. if you are simon & schuster -- yeah. host: why did you wind up writing this book for morrow, owned by harpercollins? barbara: my literary agent sent several publishing houses. morrow.hem was henry faris is my editor. assistantce mayhew's when i was bob woodward's assistant. when we fell out of touch, we had not talked to each other and more than 20 years. agent among the people she shut the run to. touch.just fallen out of career and he his had edited a lot of great books, including dreams from my father, barack obama's book. he -- if noht that other reason, i thought he would kick cake out of reason -- out of reading the book proposal. occidental in to california, then went to uc berkeley around the time that barack obama was there. you studied writing. you also in the course of this book tell the story of a ghost writing you had with senator bob kerrey. barbara: it wasn't ghostwriting. i was his researcher and his editor a

we had hillary clinton -- why didn't hillary clinton? hillary clinton. hillary clinton.linton. hillary clinton. >> donald trump is not letting go. name-checking hillary clinton more than ten times in his thursday press conference. coming up, one of the architects of trump's winning campaign, corey lewandowski, head to head with former clinton campaign manager robby mook. what do these former campaign managers have to say about trump's first month in office? that's coming up. campaign managers have to say about trump's first month in office? that's coming up. your brain, and your joints really love them too? introducing megared advanced 4in1... just one softgel delivers the omega-3 power of two regular fish oil pills... so give your body mega support with megared advanced 4in1. withevery late night...g... and moment away... with every click...call...punch... and paycheck... you've earned your medicare. it was a deal that was made long ago, and aarp believes it should be honored. thankfully, president trump does too. "i am going to protect and save your social security and

this is surprising for me, at the moment hillary clinton lost, i'm no great fan of hillary clinton, i was not feeling good. hey, we should have nominated joe biden. i thought that was going to be a reresponsible, a lot of people are now looking for other ideas, they're looking for new voices and alternatives. the last three months have been in a narrow sense, some of our best. >> i was on meet the press this weekend. nancy pelosi was on the program, she and chuck got into a bit of a back and forth about whether or not the democratic party had the wrong leadership. that's a pretty bold question to ask of the minority leader to her face, what's your sense of what the leadership of the left looks like these days. >> can you imagine a tea party emerging that held up bob doll as one of its leaders? >> there's a broad anti-establishment populous move in this country. what they've been trying to do, the best people in the democratic party, the best well intentioned people have been trying to merit together liberalism, the people that hillary clinton have pushed. it's not that they want to --

it's not the clinton campaign or anyone around clinton bringing these reports forward. it's the u.s. intelligence community ostensibly because they're deeply concerned about how i go regular it would be and unusual for the trump administration to talk with the russian officials. >> do you have any real information about the nature of those conversations between trump officials and russian intelligence officials during the campaigns? do you have any inside information what they were talking about? >> of course, i don't have inside information. but the fact that these questions were raised about what the content of those communications were, suggests the open need for a full, open bipartisan investigation and a set of hearings to get into this, the bottom of this. >> you were the national security adviser to hillary clinton during the campaign. did you ever reach out to russian officials during the course of the campaign. >> i didn't speak to russian officials during the campaign. >> did anybody from your campaign reach out to russian officials and reach out? >> as far as

the call publicly for russia to help hack hillary clinton's e-mail. all this, why does he want to meet him at the miss universe contest? the public bromance is just the souper structure to this, the underground involves people who have zone business and tdone bu. the son coming along saying we make a ton of money out of russia after the father said he hasn't made a nickel over there. there's so much discrepancy here. >> chris, there are two people in this government who have the power and will to address those questions and get answers under subpoena. and they are jim comey, the head of the fbi, and senator john mccain, the last cold warrior left standing in the senate. >> well, we're watching mccain. tonight mccain is out there. we'll see how far he goes. i agree with you, if mccain stays on this front, things are going to break open. thank you, malcolm nance and tim weiner. >>> up next, president trump says the reports about his campaign's contact with russian officials is just a distraction away from hillary clinton's mistakes of last year. he keep

you reminded us hillary clinton had this thing called hillary clinton hillary care.hat ended up being a disaster. >> that didn't happen until six months in to the administration what you have had and what i do friday night is look at all the pictures of the previous week and i have done it for four weeks running into saturday morning it's interesting. 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. bumper video. introduce what's going to happen later on in the hour. the rally getting off marine one walking with grand kids. walking to give thumbs up in the south lawn. executive order signing. limited number of scenes the presidency has given us in the administration. it will be very interesting when evidence president has to do either go to europe or 10 day trip to asia sleep in a bed that's not his own. it's going to get bump bumpier before it gets smoother. that's what happened every four years. >> playing a lot of golf. josh king, great book. called off script. it's now out. set former white house director of production. puts everything else in perspective about what donald trump is going

was any clinton campaign official in touch with russian officials during the campaign?know of, ever. i want to underscore what's particularly strange here. it's first of all that it was intelligence officials. the reason these conversations were picked up is because the nsa routinely scans people that they know are involved in intelligence efforts and may be a threat to the united states. so that's bizarre. and secondly, the president knew about this, we're now told, and he didn't tell the truth about it. so that's what's special and unique here. we need to keep the focus on that. >> robby, on the very point of russia, we had pretty interesting reporting last month, this is what mike allen wrote in his newsletter. "we have heard from numerous anguished people in clinton-land blaming obama, more than putin, fbi director james comey, or hillary herself." are you hearing that? >> i'm not a national security expert. i wasn't there. i didn't have all the informs. i was very glad that president obama put the sanctions in place against russia. i would certainly hope that presi

with taking on president trump's administration, of course, but the tight race is putting hillary clinton democrats against an army of progressives who backed bernie sanders. >> the democratic party needs to take the fight to donald trump. when we lead with our values, when we lead with our conviction, that's how we succeed. >> the democratic party is in disarray, struggling to find a path to unite all democrats after president trump's blistering election win. their base, fed up with president trump's hardline agenda and demanding action. democratic national committee members will choose one of seven hopefuls to lead that battle. at the head of the pack is former labor secretary tom perez. he has had a list of endorsers including vice president joe biden and several governors, but right on his heels is congressman keith ellison of minnesota. he picked up the endorsement of top democrat chuck schumer, bernie sanders, elizabeth warren and john lewis, and he's also picked up support from top progressive groups, including moveon and democracy for america. congressman ellison concedes democrat

look, hilla clinton- think about this. the clinton foundation really was never investigated by the office of government ethics which seems to be on some kind of jihad to nominees to the trump cabinet. it's those kind of things that get juxtaposed that conservatives don't understand. >> democrats don't understand on the other side why conservatives would be outraged at president trump's chief of staff talking to the fbi when it's kind of similar to what happened in that tarmac meeting between bill clinton and the justice department. but i want to move on. >> let me be clear. okay. but i worked in a white house. certainly, the fbi and the white house talk. the question s does the white house prevent an fbi director from doing his job? that's where, i think, everybody would be concerned. >> going back to cpac specifically, do you believe that this is now more tpac, as kellyanne conway described it? >> she's clever, but i don't agree with her on that case at all. no, this is the conservative political action conference. we're

-- hillary clinton's emails?hese were people that work for the campaign and associates of trump as well. some of the communications , someonepaul manafort helping him before with republican delegate counting for the convention. ,e also know that michael flynn the national security adviser ,ho resigned just two days ago was one of these people who had extensive contact with russians and was talking to them. as the fbi tries to piece this together, they look at this and say we cannot find the same level of medication between the trump folks and other officials in other countries. what was really going on here? seen we talk to have not any conclusive evidence that there was collusion between the trump campaign and the russians. we are going to do business in that part of the world, you will likely run up against russian intelligence officials who are embedded in this society. host: we know anything about the nature of the conversations back and forth between these two parties? guest: we don't know about the content

not actually, that was a good story. >> i was a clinton, president clinton appointed ambassador and a been in and out of government as a load all my adult life. >> thank you. >> thank you. i want to applaud your know got to rule and i wish that would be universally applied. that could make a big difference. my question is this. you've talked a lot about the way you pull together information for "primary colors," but did you use your investigative journalism background to inform yourself for the book? i swear i know people who must have contributed to your. >> no. i did the research at all. i mean, my research was having covered, you know, having covered clinton or number of years and having known it. and what happened was i was having a drink with a friend in washington, a place where only lived in the mid '70s. i didn't, i felt it was, you know, that i would become a prostitute if i had to have dinner with these people all of the time. and i was having a drink with a friend who was in the administration and she said to me these people are a novel. you know, i didn't have to do any mo

and hillary clinton polled every time she burn -- burp. he had an enormous amount of data and became clear to me on the sunday before the election dish. >> host: toys before. >> guest: almost perfect, his trajectory and he was on a track to win. i became confident at that point. >> host: nobody was expecting the victories in wisconsin, michigan, and pennsylvania. those three were really comfort outliers for him to be able to pull off. were you surprised, though, he was able to get the three states? >> he vesseled all three. he went back and visit all three in the close where i think hillary and her folks thought this was in the bag. >> people thought he should have been in ohio, he shouldn't have been trying to expand the map should have been focusing on the must-win states. >> guest: i think a decision was made they were safe. ohio is interesting because mitt romney and mccain, and george w. bush spent tens of millions of dollars and put forward a very strong effort and none of them could ever pop ohio but that's largely because in the we

hillary clinton: american consist no longer wait for healthcare reform. s we sit here today, literally hundreds and hundreds of will lose their healthcare insurance. hundreds and hundreds of families will make a decision to postpone getting that primary or preventative healthcare because they cannot afford it. thousands more will show up at roomsors of our emergency to seek help because it is the will lose their ble to healthcare them. business owners, both large and small, will be struggling with premium increases and to figure out how to keep doing the right thing for their employees. the task confronting us is complex. but it is urgent. the american people rightly are watching all of us, they are impatient, but also hopeful. they want change, they expect change, they deserve change. they want to see the government t the highest levels, work for them. they want to know that we have stories.ir last week the president outlined that will s a plan provide healthcare for every can can, healthcare that never be taken away. s the president said and as he belie

bush, bill clinton, george w. bush, and barack obama. the speeches, which are not considered state of the union addresses, focus on policy priorities of the new administration. we began with ronald reagan, speaking before the congress on february 18, 1981. [applause] members of the congress, i have the high privilege as a distinct honor of person she the president of the united states. [cheers and applause] pres. reagan: thank you. thank you very much. [applause] pres. reagan: thank you. thank you very much. [applause] pres. reagan: thank you all very much. mr. speaker, mr. president, distinguished members of congress, honored guests, and fellow citizens, only a month ago i was your guest in this historic building, and i pledge to you my cooperation in doing what is right for this nation that we all love so much. i am here tonight to reaffirm that pledge, and to ask that we share in restoring the promise that is offered to every citizen by this last best hope for man on earth. all of us are aware of the punishing inflation that has for t

he was a strong clinton supporter in the race, of course.the chief strategist for the clinton campaign, and now is an msnbc contributor. welcome, gentlemen. first to you, congressman. your thoughts about the president now blaming the russia news on secretary clinton losing. >> i think it's maybe just a bit more ridiculous than not about the content of the phone call between mr. flynn and his russian counterpart, or the content of that. he's now blaming the leaking of it. to me, you know, mr. flynn didn't lose his job because he lied. he lost his job because he wasn't a good enough liar up to the standard of this administration. to now -- the president seems to find excuse after excuse as to why he's cozied up to russia. only he really knows the real answer because we can't see his taxes. we don't know what it is they have on him. but we're going to get to the bottom of this at some point. >> you know, there's a lot of difference of opinion about whether or not it was okay to discuss sanctions between flynn -- general flynn and russia with th

he performed worst than hillary clinton in that state. and some of this interests did not win either. the party needs to do a lot of soul-searching from the left, center, etc., to be more compelling. host: teva, florida. make it quick. caller: i wanted to say that i think hillary is getting a bad deal. there is not a woman who ever or nominated for president to be president of the united states. and the media, the democrats need to do a better job with the media. no coverage. everything they said they should have done, we did do but did not get the coverage for it. she went so out of her way not to be negative about bernie sanders, and i saw an article in and the man did an excellent article about what would have happened had bernie sanders been the candidate and what donald trump would have and the information they would have ran against him. i think the democrats, if they would be a little more tougher, get on the right side of the media, they would be fine. guest: i agree with her. let's face it. hillary clinton wins, and we have the r

she sort of identified herself in much way her friend, chelsea clinton, hillary clinton's daughter, andplay this role in the campaign as sort of the way to bring in clintonites into trump world. and i think she's still trying to do that sitting around the table doing the kind of roundtable you could very much imagine hillary clinton doing had she been president. the difference is hillary clinton did that kind of work her entire life and all four years that she was secretary of state, i went on trips with her around the world where she sat around tables with women entrepreneurs. this is not the kind of thing that donald trump has done his entire life. >> there would have been a black woman at that table if hillary clinton had that meeting just to be clear. >> that was an important point. very quick before we go, the "washington post" now reporting four republican senators are currently undecided on puzder in part because of information that surfaced, allegations abuse that his ex-wife made on the oprah winfrey show. he, of course, denied it. that kind of information, do can you think tha

clinton, clinton, obama obama, george w. bush were bigger than that, but if you are a soldier in harm's way right now, if you are a hungry child in apla cha or the inner city, if you are an unemployed worker in the hollow shell of a small town that's not a president focused on your needs and wants that's a president focused on bad press, it was unhinged, wild and i can't believe there are republicans on capitol hill and in the white house that don't understand that might play well for the population that voted for the president but a lot are going to watch that and say that guy isn't focused on me, i don't know what he's focused on. >> it was almost a half an hour opening statement that he made very little as you point out nominee secretary of labor. jim acosta you asked a few questions from the president of the united states and he started to take questions from the mainstream news media. >> reporter: you heard the president, he's as scrappy and feisty as ever and determined that the news coming from the mainstream media is

speculating that bill clinton was trying to intervene to quash investigations into his wife. >> so give the grandchildren two minutes, give golf three and a half minutes. that's a long time to be sitting there twiddling your thumbs. what else are we going to talk about? let's talk about hillary. let's talk about hillary. >> now, imagine if the obama white house asked the fbi to knock down stories about hillary clinton's e-mails. if that had gotten out, it would have been a huge scandal. and yet that's analogous to what the white house today admitted and confirmed to having done. president trump spoke today at the conservative political action conference where he suggested, falsely, that negative news reports are simply made up. >> a few days ago, i called the fake news the enemy of the people and they are. they are the enemy of the people. [ cheers and applause ] because they have no sources, they just make them up when there are none. they shouldn't be allowed to use sources unless they use somebody's name. >> for the record, that comment came after white house officials anonymously --

just listen to either elizabeth warren or hillary clinton.people who are catering with their rhetoric and style to a particular branch of the democratic party. >> how is that different than what the republicans do. >> hold on a second. that's where the energy in the democratic party is today, why bernie sanders did as well as he did and why hillary clinton needed biased democratic national committee to take the nomination away. >> no no. >> that's interesting dynamic but see anything happening? coming from elizabeth warren or chuck schumer or nancy pelosi or anybody left in leadership in the democratic party to build a democratic majority going forward? absolutely nothing. donald trump is president today because did very well among a bloc of voters traditionally democrat. union people. counties where donald trump overperformed over mitt romney and doing nothing to get them back. >> power with the people here. democrats have work to do but people are showing up in airports to protest the muslim ban, in communities across the country, to democr

they are with clinton. they won't leave clinton, and is because of bill.hey don't like her that much, it is because of bill, and they won't change. i think bernie sanders would have had a very hard time getting those voters and might have done worse with the constituencies which are absolutely vital to the democratic victory. susan page: a totally different dynamic. i mean, and elections do not follow the path we think they are going to follow as evidenced of last year. that would have been a fun election to cover. matt schlapp: ralph, so we had this trump victory, the first 30 days. you offered what i have said about it. i can't imagine a president who knows that you, all of you are important to him succeeding, doing a better job of letting him know how much he respects you. it has been a great 30 days, he is filling his promises, but it is 30 days. ralph, what is the one or two things that he just must turn around in the economy and society in order to be able to go to the american people, you know, three years from now and say, look, i have done what i

not barack obama, hillary clinton, joe biden, or ted kennedy. who stille democrats served with us opposed him, including ranking members of the judiciary committee. in the coming days, i hope and expect that all senate colleagues will give him their consideration, just as we did for newly elected -- newly nominated presidents clinton and obama. this is the judge who is known for deciding cases based on how the law is actually written, not how he wishes it were written. even when it relates -- leads to results that conflict with his personal political police -- believes. here is how judge gorsuch put it himself. every resultikes he reaches is very likely a bad judge. reaching for results he prefers rather than of the law compels. some of our colleagues see the role of a judge very differently. the mustard presidential debates, our former colleague, city thatclinton -- -- stated that a supreme court justice should look more favorably on certain political constituencies than others. the job of the supreme court to "stand on the side." what, or perh

president clinton looked at me like, are you out of your mind? you are the chief diplomat and you have gotten us into trouble. so that's when pins got me into trouble. i can tell you how they got me out of trouble, however. nina: how? sec. albright: which is that i invented the art of diplomatic kissing. you can't visualize kissinger coming in and giving a big hug to somebody or whatever. much more complicated than meets the eye because some latins kiss on the right cheek, some on the left cheek, and the french kiss twice and the dutch, three times. so, big embrace. anyway, i arrive in south korea, big embrace, very good meeting. i then leave and i get a phone call from a journalist saying, don't you think the foreign minister of south korea should resign because of what he said about you? and i said, what did he say? and he said well, i love it when secretary albright comes because we're about the same age, but i'm this tired old man but when i embrace her she has very firm breasts. what do you have to say about that? [laughter] sec. albright: i

the fact that secretary -- hillary clinton's emails. the fact that secretary clinton did not prove to be a viable candidate. that is part of what made the russians so successful, because you think -- they did not start this operation in 2015 when this all began thinking that they would get donald trump elected. they thought, like most of the people in this room thought, that his candidacy would probably be over by september or october of 2015, and yet as time went on, it looked like their goals evolved, and they evolved because they were able to move from information gathering, which is where the fsb began, to making information public that might simply disrupt the election, make people lose confidence in our system. at the very end, if you believe in the u.s. assessment of intelligence, actively entering on behalf of donald trump. dr. hill: what the russians specialize in, and this goes back and extremely long way -- we are in the 100th anniversary of the russian revolution. the bolsheviks specialized in propaganda and these kinds of o

clinton demanded perez.chairman of each state. vice chairman of every state. committee man and committee woman and some super delegate type voters that are at large picked by the establishment. you get enough of those people together, they will stay with hillary clinton and barack obama and still reject bernie sanders. bernie sanders once again the rigged system. abby: we talked to professor dershowitz who always is pretty thoughtful about these things. he has been a life-long democrat. he actually said if keith ellison won he was going to leave the democratic party. we had him on this morning and said what are you thinking now? he said democrats if they want to win elections again they have got to move to the middle. here's what he said. >> we are a centerrist country. i worry that the republicans are moving too far right in some place. the democrats are moving too far left. it's happening in europe. we have to return to the vital center and have debates between centrist liberals and centrist conservatives.

the clintons are not going away. just get over it. i love it. but it's a little early, by the an incredibly important issue. there are a lot of people on the right who aren't interested in this travel ban. there are people all over the spectrum. dagen: i don't know about republicans taking their babies to the rallies. >> it may say something about republican babies. dagen: all babies are cute. controversial books may soon be a thing of the past. certain book publishers have reportedly started hiring sensitivity readers. readers job is to go through the books and remove offensive stuff before they hit the store shelves. >> we need to stop infantallizing society and take away all things that might potentially upset them. you are conditioning them to live in a pretend world. you know that iconic video. i do believe that's bigger than just a republican talking point. i think we all have to agree to some extent. we are starting to condition people for a world that doesn't exist. that's a lot of what the election fallout was. i couldn't argue there we

we had hillary clinton try and do a reset. we had hillary clinton give russia 20% of the uranium in our country. you know what uranium is, right? this thing called nuclear weapons and other things like lots of things are done with uranium, including some bad things. nobody talks about that. i didn't do anything for russia.

tomorrow hillary clinton reemerges to provide a message of hope. we have a jam-packed hour of news for you. our team of experts is in place to get us started. we are first going to head to the white house where my colleague, kelly o'donnell, joins me right now. k kel y explain this fbi situation. how is the white house responding? >> reporter: this, of course, has been an ongoing issue for the white house. reports about contacts between associates of donald trump during the campaign-era with officials in russia and more broadly the fbi investigation into russian interference with the 2016 election season. so, today senior administration officials talked to reporters and said that it was a top fbi official who spoke to white house chief of staff reince priebus, bringing this up at an unrelated gathering to say the fbi did not think a particular news story with particular facts was accurate. spicer and the white house team have said it was reince priebus who then asked the fbi to support the white house by saying that that particular story was untrue

i maintained that you could -- , even when many thought the president would be hillary clinton. but the season is over and we now have a president to -- who nominated a highly qualified candidate to fill that seat. are giving the new president's fair consideration and an up or down vote, just as we did for past presidents of both parties. >> i rise today on a matter of great importance to everyone in this body and everyone in america. the future of the supreme court. last night, the president nominated judge neil gorsuch. we in the senate have a to examinenal duty his record robustly, exhaustively, and comprehensively. we need to revise its consent if we see fit -- and

you got blamed for bill clinton. what's your advice to members right now that are on the republican side doing what you just talked about? hiding, moving their eyes, going, oh, this is going to be. >> reporter: i would say that members of congress who don't see a tornado coming their way are not very observant. if you don't respect the fact that republicans and democrats both want to get treatment for your cancer and you are the person taking itaway, if you don't see the danger ofthat, you probably don't deserve to be in public life. if you're not respecting this outpouring across the country, to both parties, frankly, of not allowing the chaos to occur that's occurring because of the trump administration, and you should not want to be visibly on that team, you probably not deserve to be an electoral office. this is a tornado heading in the direction of frankly democrats doing very well in 2018. and it is obvious we saw it in 1994, there is a certain symmetry if you will, and because i can tell you democrats are goin

bill clinton had democratic control of the house and senate. he came in with a hugely ambitious agenda that included economic stimulus, health care reform, welfare reform. by the time they got to the end of the first 100 days nothing , got done, they were working on the economic package and that didn't get on to the end of the summer. and it comes to actually producing economic results, that which is what the public has been calibrated to expect. jobs, immediate results. the first 100 days have fallen short every time. 1933 included. the case against the first 100 days as a fair assessment of what a is going to be is that presidents who have had frustrating first 100 days went on to be two-term presidents. their reputations eventually exceeded missteps and failures of the earliest days in office, and they ultimately ended up residing over economic expansions that went some way to meet their big campaign promises. what this history tells us, and tells the president elect, is that meaningful economic and job growth is not a product of the first 1

hillary clinton did a reset. remember, with the stupid plastic button that made us all look like a bunch of jerks here. take a look. he looked at her like what the hell is she doing? john podesta said those things about me and he was working for me, i would have fired him so fa his head would spin. >> a spokeswoman for hillary clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. thank you for joining us me. >> so donald trump, karen finney, he says the russian stories are an excuse for hillary clinton's election loss, that's what is motivating a lot of the outrage, a lot of the stories. what do you respond to that? >> look, as i reported i think he mentioned hillary clinton, something like 11 times -- donald trump, who is in charge and has on to show that he can confidently lead this country. i think it's a pretty obvious tactic to try to use her, again, to deflect from not wanting to talk about what this issue with michael flynn and russia, not wanting to talk about the allegations now about various members of his inner circle
