clinton: thank you.hank you so much. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: thank you. thank you very much for that warm welcome. i am so grateful to be here back at wellesley, especially for president johnson's very first commencement. [applause] and to thank her, the trustees, families and friends, faculty, staff, and guests for understanding and perpetuating the importance of this college. what it stands for, what it has meant, and what it will do in the years ahead. and most importantly, it's wonderful to be here with another green class to say congratulations to the class of 2017. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: i have some of my dear friends here from my class, a green class of 1969. and i assume, or at least you can tell me later, unlike us, you actually have a class cheer. [laughter] ms. clinton: 1-9-6-9 wellesley, yet another year with no class cheer. [laughter] ms. clinton: but it is such an honor to join with the college and all who have come to celebrate this day with you and to recognize the

hillary clinton: more than.he campaign -- look, or the things we could've done differently, we could've said that about any campaign. host: james is calling from seattle, washington on the democratic line. is it a good thing for hillary clinton to be the public face of the democratic party right now? like hillaryl clinton done her own self a bad deal along with the russian investigation. there is no middle. she did not secure or base come all politics are local. -- she did not secure her base, all a lot of text -- all politics are local. a lot of the districts are hispanic, two thirds of all the hispanics in the united states are in texas and california. what they were doing, she said she was going to break in the moderate republicans come all that was a con. -- he took the southern strategy nationwide and one. and hillary with these mild politics, she used the word afterllable -- deplorable donald trump had been talking about blacks, hispanics, disabled kids and she apologized with the word deplorable. her camp

what you see there is that clinton voters, the clinton voters were definitely more optimistic about financial future than trump voters. now we ask this question in april and you see a stark reversal. now you see not only trump voters are much more optimistic and for example the clinton voters are more likely to say their future financial situation will be worse than today. but as that number has shrunk to only 5% for the trump voters. about the same, there's not too much of a difference. we can still also show it in a different way. what i do here is simply look at the difference between the percent of -- between the clinton and trump voters. what you see is sort of the dark red, that's before the election and then sort of the, what is it, vague pink is after the election. you see before the election there was quite a difference in optimism between clinton and trump voters, and then after the election you see it goes the other way. you see that now the trump voters are 30 percentage points more likely to be optimistic. if you look at worse, you see that among -- before the election the clinto

bill clinton was pissed off. he hollered at john podesta loud enough to be heard through the walls of the little room he lay claim to on the tenth floor of the historic hotel in downtown tamoi, iowa. it was the goddamn pendency was watching on tv. they're getting it all wrong again. as result of the iowa caucus trickled in again. hillary was leading but it was going to be tight. omg will blitz are set on cnn, it does not get a hold closer than that. that assessment invited parallels to hillary's 2008 loss to barack obama. it was in bill's view, an absurd comparison. after all, that had been a three-way race and she was still likely to come out the winner in this night, not the third-place finisher. the journalist on upstart challenger competing with her on iowa and dÉjÀ vu was a hard storyline to resist. the outcome tonight ensures this race is going to go on for months and months on the democratic side, blitzer's colleague reported from sanders headquarters. the perceptional night was that hillary was such a pro

hillary clinton had a policy problem. eric: right, right. >> one last thing, eric, can i say in the same interview she blamed the fake news on building up or putting in fake numbers in donald trump's twitter account, saying that his twitter followers, a lot of them were fake. go to a trump rally and you saw the energy was there. go to a hillary rally, there was no energy, there was not nearly the kind of support that donald trump had. eric: on further analysis, turns out a lot of hillary clinton's own twitter followers were fake as well. jessica, last word, a lot to digest. >> there's too much and i have no time, so much wrong that was said, jessica. >> come on, be nice to me, guys. eric: we found a friend for hillary. >> i am. i was screaming at these rallies: okay when hillary clinton is talking fake news, alice jones, not cnn and the times. >> she went after the new york times. >> please, i get like two seconds. eric: let me finish. >> okay. second point here the main strome media has been calling her out. joe scarboro

steve: clinton contributors.ese are the folks that are going to be trying to come up with these charges for obstruction of justice? is that right? is that fair? should we not have more rules about that? steve: he never should have been appointed in the first place because of his closeness to comey. if they can't find what they are looking for, they will find something else. you don't remember throwing a spit ball in the second grade? bad stuff. we have seen the overreach in he investigation of these kinds. the sooner they cut it off and get on with it. hopefully the president won't be tweeting about russia. let the thing fall on it own. dead weight. steve: airplanes met. it's not like bumming into each other on the street or in an airport. that was arranged. trish: the airplane issue and concern basically she was out there telling debbie wasserman-schultz debbie wasserman-schultz was communicating with her to tell a clinton aide, don't worry about this, loretta lynch has this under control. steve: it's not an inv

bill clinton was pissed off. he hollered at john podesta loud enough to be heard through the walls of the little room he lay claim to on the tenth floor of the historic savory hotel in downtown kathy griffith, iowa. it was the abundance. they are getting it wrong again. hillary was leaving but it's going to be tight. omg he said on cnn. it does closer than that. but assessment was parallels to histories 2008 loss to barack obama. it slips for comparison. after all that have been a three-way race and she was still likely to come out the winner of snow. dÉjÀ vu was a hard storyline tog resist. the outcome tonight ensures thi race is going to go on for months and months on the democratic side. the perception on that have bees that hillary was such a prohibitive front runner heading into the democratic nominationin that she should have cleaned up easily. they had a much different perspective. iowa had never been clinton country. hillary had increased her share of the return from under 30% in 2008 to 50% give or take

some of them worked for hillary clinton. the whole thing is ridiculous if you want to know the truth from that standpoint. trish: is this not what i said yesterday?!. joining me with his thoughts, fox news anchor and former defense attorney gregg jarrett. >> you did say yesterday. trish: i have been saying for a while. i don't get it. if i were him, i would sure as heck, and he doesn't like the idea that robert mueller is buds with james comey. james comey of all the people he goes out to hire, he can't find people that haven't donated to democratic campaigns? >> the whole thing kind of stinks, doesn't it? here is the deal, if mueller is looking at obstruction of justice, there is star witness and only one, it is mull letter's good close, long time personal and professional friend, james comey. you can't be sitting judgment of the president when the only witness against the president is your good close personal friend. that is a conflict of interest. it is in the special counsel statute that says you must disqualify yourself

clinton, like moses, is in denial.just thrashing about trying to excuse what may be one of the worst-run campaigns in history. but there is a second motive here, i think. this shoving of problems to the republicans in terms of the russians i think is also an effort to hide the relationship that her campaign directly and indirectly had with the russians. remember the russians were pumping millions of dollars into john podesta's brother's lobbying firm through the whole process. the clintons were related through their foundation's $100 million gift to the guy that owns the company that was the beneficiary of selling 20% of our uranium assets to the russians putting them in their control. so the relationship with the russians is really quite deep in the clinton campaign and i think a lot of the reasons you are seeing the liberals and democrats playing the russian card now is to really cover a lot of what happened with the clintons. >> bill: interesting. a couple tweets going back and forth. i don't think we'll lose that t

donald trump and hillary clinton in a heated war over russia.let's discuss, fareed zakaria, host of cnn's "fareed zakaria gps." let's talk about the conversation i just had with michael reagan because that's become a political talking point on the right that what law? there's no laws broken. if you look at politifact, they say, in fact, there were four laws that were broken so that is a talking point, not exactly accurate at all. there were a number of laws that were broken. >> yeah, look, we don't know exactly what the fbi is investigating, specifically, but we do know, for example, the logan act does not allow private individuals to conduct foreign policy. now, that is an act rarely enforced, but many of these contacts with foreign governments seem to be of that nature. the more important one, of course, is it is illegal to tamper with an election in the united states and there is the allegation that the trump campaign colluded with a foreign power, russia, to tamper in some way with the election. to interfere with the election. clearly, that

here is hillary clinton being stupid.alk about a stupid party, i know the donkey was the original symbol of the democratic party, but this is really downright embarrassing. i will say, on behalf of adam schiff and senator feinstein, i am very proud as democrats because i know it was direct. both of them came out today and said we have to investigate loretta lynch and find it what she is doing. of course all of this is happening exactly as you thought it would. now we are beginning to turn the corner. you didn't get a totally separate story about bernie sanders and his wife also no lawyering up. on a different problem. to be when we got that too appeared >> all the stuff is coming down the road. if i were trump, go ahead. i was looking down -- i would be thinking, all right come you guys, you want to come at me, cut into it, he couldn't prove anything, and now you are just about to wreck yourselves on all of this stuff. in addition to being pretty happy with the supreme court, he ought to be pretty happy with the way these

number two, for clinton then voted for trump. numbertwo, i for clinton then voted for trump.o, i think and what i say very often, is that it wasn't so very often, is that it wasn't so much that trump — who by the way was the most unpopular candidate for president in the history of the united states, very unpopular — it was not so very unpopular — it was not so much that trump won but that the democratic party lost. and by that i mean, not just the lost. and by that i mean, notjust the presidential election, the republicans now control the us house, the us senate, almost two thirds of the governage chairs in america and in the last nine years, running against a party that has moved extremely far to the right, the republicans, democrats have lost almost 1,000 seats in state legislatures throughout america. so the real question to be asked is, what has happened to the democratic party? why is its strategy and its message failing to such a significant degree? second part of the answer is that, and tied to the first part, is that while the economy in the united states under presid

clinton blamed a long list of people for her loss. but it never includes clinton. desput 1.2 billion or twice what the trump campaign spent, she lost. you remember how the national left wing media ridiculed and mocked donald trump when he said he didn't need to raise a billion dollars to win. he didn't and he did. the national that colluded with demand hillary herself. even with the state that went for her she lost. she was a lousy candidate and cheat nothing the debate and cheating senator sander and obviously learned nothing fro her losses and truth is more of a stranger to her. truth and mrs. clinton are simply not friends. she offered no fewer than 24 reasons excuses and 24 reasonses of why she lost, none of which include herself or the campaign. fbi. james comey, the russian and vladimar piddin and anti-american force and you law enforcement and facebook to no, ma'am a few. and new york times for covering her e-mail scandal like it was pearl harbor. clinton declared that the former president lost the election. she claimed she lost because obama served two term

but if it has anything to do with comey and his actions with clinton foundation or clinton, he has aclear, huge conflict of interest. neil: what did you think of what lindsey graham was sort of saying to take oxygen out of this a little bit? the very fact that comey testified today means, obviously had to be run through mueller had serious concerns or doubts about it or even entertaining obstruction of justice or would get that sensitive, he wouldn't have let comey speak, would that be the case? >> well you would think so but i don't know. would you think that would be the case, yes. clearly i go back to the conflict of interest issue. it is preposterous here that i don't hear that coming from anybody. neil: well-put, you're right about that. i doubt it will get much headline coverage manana. james kallstrom. still with me, connell mcshane, charlie gasparino. connell, that will be issue here, whether anywhere to go here. much depends on mr. mueller and if he wraps things up by by labor day, let's say has tough admonishing report on president trump an inappropriate behavior, strong-ar

he mishandled the clinton investigation, to the detriment of ms. clinton. that was something that was pointed out in the memo that was produced by the deputy attorney general right before they let him go. if you talk to the real people at the fbi who do the work, the special agents, they will tell you that he was too much of a politician. i think that was evident in his mishandling of the clinton investigation and many other things he has done. ahope that they are getting real law enforcement professionals who is not partisan in the new fbi directorship. host: your essays are available at heritagefoundation.org. our last call is john from illinois. democrats line. caller: good morning. i had a question. a lady earlier called and brought up trumps support for the birther issue -- trumps support for the birther issue. the response was that is not what the comey testimony was about. i read around to make sure i got this right. part of your response was the comey testimony was about did the russians interfere with the election and what we heard from comey is th

that hillary clinton will still have a security clearance. because she's shown such a great track record of not abusing privileges. do you remember those people that went to college and it comes back to college to hang out at the party? it's time for hillery to get lost. i've been saying this for a longtime, and it donald trump needs to do this, if they're going to play games with the investigation, let's reopen some hillery investigations. that's have the state department inquire whether she mishandled information. what's fair is fair. >> dana: and that is happening. see two and once again, if there is no evidence that trump did anything wrong, you have hillery in the crosshairs still. slap her with a subpoena. everybody is now under suspicio suspicion. and will spend the next six months talking about russia. >> you are just spinning this crazy story once again. you are obsessed with hillary clinton. >> greg: the democrats have been beating up on trump for conversations. what are these coursework these are conversations. these conspiracy the

the clinton foundation with that slush fund and hillary clinton receiving $140 million and bill clinton getting twice and triple is normal speech fee. you are empowered. do something, pass something, cut this kumbaya wrap, put on your big boy pants and act like you are in power and give a damn. more importantly convince us that you are not in on the effort to take down the president of the united states. and that's my open. tell me what you think on my facebook page or twitter at #judgejeanine. the congressman, am i wrong? >> well, i have got to tell you, if you look at what's been going on in the congress with this russia investigation, if you want to look at what russia is up to, fine. but as you point out, this has been going on for months and months and there is no evidence of any type of quote unnote collusion. there is no reason why there would have been any collusion, and there has been more subpoenas issued by the republican congress for that investigation than there was for the benghazi and clinton foundation matters combined. so i think we have to either put up or shut up. if

but yes, that the clinton e-mail investigation was completed. the investigation of russia's efforts in connection with the election and whether there was any coordination and if so, with whom between russia and the campaign was ongoing. >> what you said this was a quote, big deal, unquote. i think it's hard to reconcile. one you have reached conclusion and the other side you have not. in fact, obviously, there's a lot more there as we know as you called it a quote, big deal. she's one of the candidates. but in her case, you say there will be no charges and in the case of president trump, the investigation continues. what has been brought out in this hearing is more and more emphasis on the russian engagement and involvement in this campaign. how serious do you think this was? >> very serious. but i want to be clear. it was we have not announced and there was no pred occasion to announce an investigation of whether the russians may have coordinated with secretary clinton's campaign. >> no. but they might not have been involved with the campaign b

then for the others, the clinton voters, there's really no change.ng johnson voters may be a little more and then stein of the list. my invitation will be there's not that much to change. as noted would look at that because we also asked people if the election were today it would you vote for tax what you find is that the vast majority of the trump voters say they would vote for him again. as a matter of fact, so by the way, you may have noticed, we are looking at -- [inaudible] have to remember it's in there. what you see is actually the a number of people who would say that they would vote for clinton is a little less than the people who say they would vote for trump again. in many ways opinions haven't really changed that much. people are pretty much in the preferences, and there's a movement from people who voted for johnson or stein two other candidates. one of the things that jill talked about all of it optimism and pessimism is we can look at this and a slight edge of the way also. as i mentioned the respondents we have come we've had them for

former hillary clinton survey -- surrogate.e joins us from palm beach tonight. >> thank you, miami beach. >> tucker: did i say palm beach? >> you said palm beach but miami beach where it's at. >> tucker: i have mar-a-lago, on the mind, excuse me. >> you mean that new waterpark in the future? >> you're concerned about rising sea levels. i'm agnostic about it. i'm wondering how this specific agreement, sending $3 billion a year to countries like india and china who don't have to lower their emissions rates is going to fix that global warming problem in miami beach. >> let me tell you what's going on in miami beach. we have streets that are flooding during sunny days. the water levels have gone up dramatically. we moved forward to raise our roads, put in pumps, change our building codes. it's not because we're so excited to have to do that but we have to do it for survival of our city. it's not just miami beach. it's coastal citiesbu all over the world. i heard what you had to say, but i've got to tell you something.g. when the wo

clinton in a fair way.emocrats like senator dianne feinstein saying comey's discussion with lorraetta lynch is troubling, makes her queasy, too. >> to be fair to ms. lynch, the fbi director comes in, assuming the account is accurate and there's this accusation that she was going to put the kibosh and maybe she was angry at having her ethics questioned and told him to get the heck out of office, but that's why ms. lynch should testify and comey should testify and bill clinton should testify. liz: gotta go. but the idea of the grand jury, it was about the blackberry service providers at the tail end. it wasn't a big impanelled grand jury into hillary clinton, right, tom? >> quickly. grand jury subpoenas that got documents. no one went before grand juries and testified. liz: my panel is here to react after this. [vo] when it comes to investing, looking from a fresh perspective can make all the difference. it can provide what we call an unlock: a realization that often reveals a better path forward. at wells fa

hero or a villain, depending on whose political ox is being gored, at many different times in the clinton email investigation and even now, perhaps, but you clearly were troubled by the conduct of the sitting attorney general, loretta lynch, when it came to the clinton email investigation. you mentioned the characterization that you'd been asked to accept that this is a matter and not a criminal investigation, which you said it was. there was the matter of president clinton's meeting on the tarmac with the his wife was a subject to a criminal investigation, and you suggested that perhaps there are other matters that you may be able to share with us later on in a classified setting, but it seems to me that you clearly believe that loretta lynch, the attorney general, had an appearance of a conflict of interest on the clinton email investigation. is that correct? >> i think that's fair. i didn't believe she could credibly decline that investigation, at least not without grievous damage to the

secretary clinton is speaking out.she was at a tech conference, covered a lot of ground, russia, the elections. listen to what she said. >> the russians, in my opinion, and based on the intel and counterintel people i've talked to could not have known how best to weaponize that information unless they had been guided. >> guided by americans. >> guided my americans. and guided by people who had, you know, sppolling and data information. >> so who is that? >> soy hope we'll get enough information to be able to answer that question. >> but you're leaning trump? >> yes, yes i'm leaning trump. look, i take responsibility for every decision that i made, but that's not why i lost. so i think it's important that we learn the real lessons from this last campaign. i get the nomination, so i'm now the nominee of the democratic party. i inherit nothing from the democratic party. >> what do you mean, nothing? >> i mean, it was bankrupt. it was on the verge of insolvency. its data was mediocre to poor, nonexistent, wrong. i had to i

democratic donors, backers of hillary clinton, the clinton foundation, connections to the clinton foundationlly with ray, and what we are looking at is a serious problem. particularly, ethical conflicts. this is coming from people within the fbi, who are very concerned about the relationship that mueller also had with comey. this is something nice to be taken very seriously, and there is reason why the trump administration, why president trump would be and should be concerned about this. >> sean: concerned, i mean, greg, here you have comey leaks to "the new york times" for the very purpose of getting a special counsel, rosenstein wrote the letter that comey should be fired, and now is helping to get the bff of comey, mueller, in there. then he hires hillary's attorney on the clinton foundation to avoid lawyer requests and donors to obama and hillary. wow. could there possibly be any more conflicts, which is why mueller and rosenstein need to go, in my opinion. >> there is a cancer within, except the cancer here is within the special counsel office. mueller is violating the law, comey has vi

the clinton foundation with that slush fund and hillary clinton receiving $140 million and bill clinton getting twice and triple is normal speech fee. you are empowered. do something, pass something, cut this kumbaya wrap, put on your big boy pants and act like you are in power and give a damn. more importantly convince us that you are not in on the effort to take down the president of the united states. and that's my open. tell me what you think on my facebook page or twitter at #judgejeanine. the congressman, am i wrong? >> well, i have got to tell you, if you look at what's been going on in the congress with this russia investigation, if you want to look at what russia is up to, fine. but as you point out, this has been going on for months and months and there is no evidence of any type of quote unnote collusion. there is no reason why there would have been any collusion, and there has been more subpoenas issued by the republican congress for that investigation than there was for the benghazi and clinton foundation matters combined. so i think we have to either put up or shut up. if

that's a huge scandal here in abuse of power by the clinton administration. how is that not obstruction of justice and why didn't comey come forward and report that? that he may break the law? we will ask our legal experts throughout the show. why didn't comey create a detailed memo about this conversation? there's a massive double standard. comey let something like that happen with lynch but is now trying to go after president trump. his biases are so extreme, so many other examples. comey testified he took detailed memos of all of his conversations with president trump. he didn't trust him and thought he might live but he didn't do the same thing to president obama. comey also never put hillary clinton under oath when she was being interviewed by the fbi and never demanded that her conversation be recorded. comey was desperate to come out in clear hillary clinton's name but he refused to do the same thing for president trump. he told the president three times he wasn't under investigation. finally tonight, we have been saving this one for you on purpose. af

it's like a magnet. >> a break for the clinton campaign.ts later. >> within minutes, i think 23 minutes later, the first of the e-mails was posted to wikileaks with a statement from julian assange that said that, you know, we have the contents of his e-mail system and we're going to release them all. of course, the campaign. >> that is, the entire contents of john podesta's private account, totaling more than 50,000 e-mails. once again, the source of the e-mail trove was wikileaks and democrats and later the u.s. intelligence community suspected the release had been timed for maximum impact. have any doubt that those two events that day, the "access hollywood" tape then the release soon after of your e-mails -- >> let's put it, it's a pretty massive quens dencoincidence th choose to pull a trigger on a friday evening when they've been sitting on it for a while. >> no, i have nothing to say about wikileaks other than i think we should all be concerned about what the russians are trying to do to our election. >> that friday night e-mail dump
