senator daschle i did vote : against clarence thomas. i voted in favor of justice scalia and justice kennedy and a number of others, of course, from the bill clinton period. norms are changing. i'm troubled by the fact that norms that changed as much as they have. there is almost as such that it takes 60 votes to do anything in the senate. it does not have to be that way. we don't have to rely on the contentious less to continue -- contentiousness to continue. i think the norms that have been lost may be lost for good. i think it has a lot to do -- trent and i talked a lot about the importance of leadership. we sure need a lot of leadership now on both sides of pennsylvania avenue. david: would you counsel senator sherman to tread lightly on going to cloture? senator daschle again, as we've : said a couple of times, it really depends on the degree to which there is inclusive feelings and the kind of partnership that you've got to create between the executive and legislative branches. if that partnership exists, if people are working in g

senator daschle i think it : starts in a positive tone. i think both of them want to sort of start over. they've got a relationship to build. they have -- you've got a new partnership. and so i'm hopeful that -- i know that chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell like to get one thing and that is deal. they really are deal-driven. that's a big factor in creating that conducive environment for moving things. you've got to create that deal motivation. and both are deal oriented. senator lott i certainly agree : with that. i don't think i'm revealing any confidence or going to hurt anybody's feelings but the relationship between senator reid and senator mcconnell has not been real good. david right. : thank you. [laughter] we will file that story right now. senator lott some of the things : they said to each other were really shocking to me. so i think just the fact that you've got a new person in that leadership team between schumer and mcconnell is an opportunity to change the dynamics. i'm very hopeful. i mean, look, schumer -- senator schumer i

i guess that's the point i would go back you, senator daschle. that's where the rubber meets the road for the first time. it will be perceived as highly polarizing on both sides still depends on who the nominee is. >> any of that one that mr. trump -- you'll think it would be any of those? >> i like that list. there were several of them are not very impressive with your credentials, their experience. women and men. if he picks carefully that first nominee that will make a huge difference. >> into the democrats allow that to happen that its trading a conservative for conservative and, or did he do something what would you advise? >> my first piece of advice of the let's not politicize it if we can help the. i think people want to look at the qualifications first of all, first and foremost. you know it's going to be a conservative show that's not even on the table. do they have the personal background and history and integrity and if they qualify in the context, i think you have to defer to the president. but obviously there ought to be a vigorous

written by tom daschle and trent lott a year ago. and the purpose of the book is not really about how look at us, look how we made things work. we went through 9/11, the anthrax attacks, impeachment trial. but still we were able to get things done. but the purpose was to say we learned some lessons but there's some things we think would help in america in terms of getting people to participate, understand civic responsibility, how do you get things done in washington. and the title crisis point describes where we are. we are at a crisis point. are we going to be able to turn this around and head it in the right direction or not? and how this president-elect and this congress deals with the issues will decide which way we go from this crisis point. thank you for allowing me to do that, a paid commercial. >> i think we had originally titled this panel beyond the crisis point. >> good. >> so is there anything in the election results tangible, polling data or a result that gives you a sense of optimism at all? >> well, first of all, i do

daschle talk about this.e data is definitely more sensitive similar to law-enforcement but different from insurance. and last regulation is constantly changing on the use of patient data. so very different problem. was obvious to require more innovative approaches to using data. i was very happy to hear talk about the comments of help because one of many ways to assess some is likely of being readmitted in any period of time or editing communication protocol are become as a celtic these are stress associate with financial distress with support systems, even simple things like do you own a car to get to where you need to go? what we have done at elsevier and lexis-nexis is take the nomination of demographic data sets combined with clinical data to do a couple correlations and help you all assess some of propensity to come in for treatment or be readmitted. just a couple examples are going to go quickly through these. one thing we that you can see in the bottle of private index. this is the rate of prime within

senator daschle. both of you, would you advocate making the rewriting of federal health care policy the first big ask or not the first big ask? i think did you both say the transportation and infrastructure should be the first big ask instead? >> it's one that they can find common ground, none of it will be easy. >> i agree, i would take trent's ammunition to president-elect trump, look for small things we can agree to. find ways to work together so that you can take on the bigger things. and besides that, the affordable care act is now about the most important element in public policy that relates to health, that's going to take a lot of time, and there's enormous amount of detail involved. we're dealing with 20 million people that didn't have insurance before. 31 states have expanded medicaid, you have all these new protections that are built in, new opportunities for 26-year-olds to sign up on their parents plan. all of that, a new -- totally new infrastructure around the marketplace and exchanges,

barack obama in 2008 after elected named tom daschle second of human health and services didn't pay taxes at one point. ho that nomination was withdrawn. this is one of the advisors. when you talk about bannon overseeing a web site that says there's no hiring bias for women they just suck in interviews. thiscy new frontier here. >> he forged new frontier in journalism. he was mixing commentary and journalism and it's a new hybrid brave new world. his supporters wanted tenacious house and they are not going to be happy unless this was a way for trump to avert his revort from the right and now he's getting up copping from democrat and establishment republicans over this. i think that trump is like kelly and conway said it's up up to trump to decide what kind of administration he wants and certainly by naming bannon to one of the top roles he's sending a going to be this -- he's not going to retreat. he want to have a tenacious approach and he wants to be true to what his campaign was. >> speaking of that, president obama reporters asked him today in last press kavrns you know what did he th

could be even more complex with big national security implications which is why democrats like tom daschleformer senate leader, told me trump needs to pull back on some of the more unilateral tendencies that we saw during the campaign if he will effectively govern. watch. >> two words that come immediately to mind are outreach and inclusion. there's got to be a lot of outreach and it has to come both ways. >> even though he is a democrat tom daschle told me he thinks after such a nasty campaign expectations are now so low that he actually thinks trump has an opportunity here to get some things done that just with a little bit of effort he can get a lot of credit. >> ed, go to see you. mike huckabee, former presidential candidate and dana perino former bush white house secretary. great to see you both. dana, let me start with you, as someone who helped do this. first 100 days, what does president-elect trump need to worry about. >> even before the 100 days, and what i assume they have been thinking about since july, since they started the transition team that chris christie is running, you

first we have tom daschle founder and chief executive officer of the daschle group. few people have such a profound understanding of the issues animating the current healthcare debate as tom. as senator majority leader tom established himself as a leading expert on national healthcare policy. he has remained deeply involved in the debate since leaving the senate and heads the daschle group while serving on influential policy bodies. tom also co-authored the book getting it done, how obama and congress finally broke the stalemate to make way for healthcare reform. he continues to be a key voice in healthcare in america. please give a big hand for tom daschle.

i go back to erin's point that when you put somebody forward like a tom daschle, a senator, you think, he is going to fly through because he was a member of the senate. then again, you don't know because sometimes if there hasn't been thorough vetting of the candidates, it won't pass the test. in terms of ari emanuel, i was surprised by that. you know, the one thing we have learned from this election is that we shouldn't be surprised by anything that donald trump does. including his tweets out about "hamilt "hamilton." two days in a row. the media. this has been a very interesting process to watch because he has been so unconventional. i mean, he has been working all weekend. we have seen him at work or seen him -- we can imagine what he is doing behind closed doors. but there's been a camera focused on him at trump tower and new bedford. >> you talk about unconventional. some people watching may think, at least he is bringing new people into the fold, if for nothing else information as he puts all of this together. erin, let me get back to you. priebus said giuliani is in the running

john daschle the leader of the senate had been beaten in an upset. ken salazar and i were the only two democrats that won nationally. republicans controlled the senate and the house. and two years later democrats were winning back congress and four years later i was president of the united states. but they don't change inevitably. they change because you work for them. nobody said democracy is supposed to be easy. it's hard. and a big country like this, it probably should be hard. mark? >> thank you, sir. >> good to see >> you thank you. good to see you. mr. president, what can you tell can you tell us how long it took you before you were fully at ease in the job if that ever happens? and did you discuss this matter with president-elect donald trump? >> about a week ago i started feeling pretty good. [ laughter ] no. look, i think the learning curve always continues. this is a remarkable job. it is like in other job on earth. and it is a constant flow of information and challenges and issues. that is truer now than it has ever been. partly because of

. >> reporter: tom daschle felt with a 50/50 senate. [ ougaudio distorted ] >> we have a problem with the tape. the bottom line is you have republicans promising they will investigate things in terms of oversight. with hillary clinton it would have been investigation of the clinton foundation. with donald trump, they will hold his feet to the fire with some issues. when it comes to democrats, you have supreme court nominations. d tom daschle says this was such a nasty race that expectations are low for the president to get much done. if he believes as a democrat that if donald trump can get even a few things done, tom daschle says he will get a lot of credit. >> paul ryan said a unified group can make it better. he talked about obamacare. >> yeah. they want to repeal that right away. you have that. that's that would be a huge blow to president obama's legacy. this is i believe the first time maybe since the eyes-- you coul have a conservative shift. >> what about the cabinet? there have been rumors about who he might put in key positions. we don't really know for sure. >> no. they hav

like tomotable people daschle is the example that is frequently given of someone who everyone knows was basically being hired to advise people as a strategic advisor and doing a lot of activity that most people would call lobbying but he was not actually calling folks on the hill so he did not have to register. he recently did register that for years, that was a big one. is --vak: a lot of this you see something money going on and you start to dig into it. sourcing on capitol hill or the administration. in akind of provision bill. i go back to the amgen example because it was so classic. this weird little thing that came up and i do not know how eric got onto that story. it could well have been that someone on the hill, some staffer said -- look at this weird thing in the fiscal cliff bill and he started digging into it because it clearly benefited, even though amgen was not named, it clearly benefited one company. pulling threads and you see the connections. i think whenever you see to being that appears casting favors in one direction or another, you start looking. and sometimes it is

an interesting point back in late 2008, early 2009 the obama administration wanted to appoint tom daschle to the role because he wanted universal healthcare to become his legacy. he worked on that in the 90's in the senate and had to withdraw his nomination because of tax problems. that job has been really a bummer for people going forward. this is tom price's fashion. he wants to have better legislation in his mind in place and i think he's close to paul ryan and some of these other house republicans and he does know that law so well. >> also wants to overhaul medicaid and medicare major changes in that respect as well. >> yeah, that's right. >> i would also point out you mention he's a doctor he's a orthopedic surgeon. he's an advocate for doctors. he's also an advocate for patients. i think that this may seem like an unenviable job to us. he knows it inside and out. >> there will be a lot of people that will be impacted on this. some people were talking about the time line saying this needs to be one of the first things especially in terms of having an ultimate plan. >> that's right. r

they take a political stand, do you think that is industrywide or do you think it's not like tom daschle to be -- >> as white house press secretary i felt fully that are not that most of the reporters and not briefing room try their utmost to be fair and i appreciated all the work they did. i knew they had a job to do. that relationship between a press secretary or the president and the press is naturally adversarial, but it does not to be angry or mean. it also can be mutually beneficial. it's a good point when you say the policies will be good for the republican party. you are right to point that out to me because i'm a person who's grown-up in small-town wyoming and colorado. i've always believed republican policy and conservative ideals are better for the country as a whole. i don't want any republican policies just republicans. when i was a press secretary i never thought of myself as a press secretary or republicans but to all of the country because there's an rnc spokesperson and that is for the party work was done. there's something exciting is about to happen as well. for so lon

tom daschle, the leader of the senate had been beaten in an upset.r were only two democrats that won nationally. republicans controlled the senate and the house. and two years later, democrats were winning back congress and four years later i was president of the united states. things change pretty rapidly. but they don't change inevitably. they change because you work for it. nobody said democracy is supposed to be easy. it's hard and, in a big country like this, it probably you should be hard. mark knoller. >> thank you, sir. >> thank you. good to see you. mr. president, what can you tell us about the learning curve on becoming president? can you tell us how long it took you before you were fully at ease in the job if that ever happens and did you discuss this matter with president-elect trump. >> about a week or so i started feeling pretty good. no, the, i think the learning curve always continues. this is a remarkable job. it is like no other job on earth and it is a constant flow of information, and challenges and issues. that is truer now than

in 2004, they may not remember me showing up in 2005 when john kerry had lost a close election tom daschle the leader of the senate, ken salazar and i were the only ones nationally. republicans controlled the senate and house and two years later democrats were winning that congress and four years later i was president of the united states things change pre- rapidly. but, it doesn't change inevitably. they change because you work for it. nobody said that democracy was easy it is hard. and, in a big country like this it probably should be hard. mark . good to see you pick >> good to see you. >> what can you tell us about the learning curve on becoming president? can you tell us how long it took you before you are fully at ease in the job if that ever happens? and did you discuss this with president-elect trump? >> about a week ago i started feeling pretty good -- no. look, i think that the learning curve always continues. this is a remarkable job that's unlike any other job on earth. and it is a constant flow of information and challenges and issues and that is truer now than it has ever bee

so, we haven't seen it so much in an ad since 2004 when john thune ran against tom daschle. >> what isis thing about? this race? >> this race is really about a democrat who is drafting on to donald trump's message. the anti-insider, anti-establishment, drain the swamp. and roy blunt is a good representation of being a washington insider. >> what has he done wrong? >> i don't know that he's done thing wrong except his wife and three of his children are lobbyists and they're featured in every single ad. >> how does that affect voter uptake? you can tell word lobbyist is never a positive word. >> yes. missouri has had a lot of controversy lately and the lobbyist misdeeds and that sort of thing. so missouri voters already have sort of a dim view of some of this. and then kander, blunt underestimated kander. a lot of people did. until that ad. then all of a sudden, things changed really quick. now blunt is underperforming as you mentioned. he is underperforming trump in the state. in fact all the republicans running statewide are underperforming trump. and trump's activists actually will no

we all thought tom daschle was going to hhs secretary and he didn't make it. so far i'm very emboldened by everything i've heard coming out of the transition team. >> we're continuing to watch kind of an interesting shot. there you see on the right your screen. waiting to see mike pence. the vice president-elect. maybe we'll just give you a beautiful rainy day in new york city. regardless, we're keeping an eye on that. since alex mentioned barack obama, dana, i want to ask you about your column. you wrote a fascinating column here about basically wondering what is barack obama doing right now. you ask a very simple question. why is this man smiling? what is your issue, dana milbank? >> oh, there's so many issues. >> we only have one hour. >> it would take more than that. look, the president as well as hillary clinton was rejected in this election. more importantly, his legacy is in taters when you look at obamacare and what he's done for the country when you look forward to what's going to happen with the supreme court. so, you know, basically you have hatch t

how many people remember tom daschle when he was going to be the secretary of health and human serviceshe was to be a shoe-in. wound up having problems with the auto service he had and taxes. wound up not getting the job. there will be democrats laying in wait and suddenly to do. so the harry reid approach is probably not going to work. you will probably see a lot more of this approach as to whether or not donald trump has conflicts of interest because that may play to even some people supporters of donald trump. >> dana, we spoke last night about it. republicans especially in the senate have this dud cud dal. nuclear option in place and perhaps mcclaw could, as much as he respects the dignity and traditions of the senate might expand that nuclear option. >> that's true. harry reid expanded it itself and they're going to take advantage of it the only thing really holding him back is the supreme court and that is where the democrats really fight it out. i think depending on who, of course, donald trump picks. assuming it's some sort of mainstream conservative, democrats will use donald t

daschle talk about this. the data is definitely more sensitive. similar to law enforcement but different from insurance. and last, regulation is constantly changing on the use of patient data. very different problems, which obviously require more innovative approaches to using data. i was very happy to hear them talk about behavioral determinates of health. one of the many ways to assess someone's likelihood of being readmitted at any period of time or adhering to a medication protocol are stressors associated with financial distress, with support systems, even simple things like do you own a car to get to where you need to go. what we have done at lexus nexus is take the combination of demographic data sets, combined with clinical data to do a couple correlations and help assess someone's's propensity for treatment. a couple of examples. i'll go through these. one thing we found you see at the bottom, prime index. this is the rate of crime within a given geography. we've used zip codes in this example, related to prescribed medication adherence a

they may not remember me showing up here in 2005 when john kerry had lost a close election, tom daschle, the leader of the senate, had been beaten in an upset, ken salazar and i were the only two democrats that won nationally. republicans controlled the senate and the house. and two years later, democrats were winning back congress and four years later i was president of the united states. things change pretty rapidly. but it does -- they don't change inevitably. they change because you work for it. nobody said democracy's supposed to be easy. it's hard. and in a big country like this, it probably should be hard. mark. >> reporter: thank you, sir. >> good to see you. >> reporter: thank you. good to see you. mr. president, what can you tell us about the learning curve on becoming president. can you tell us how long it took you before you were fully at ease in the job, if that ever happens, and did you discuss this matter with president-elect trump? >> about a week ago i started feeling pretty good. no. look, the -- i think the learning curve always continues. this is a remarkable job. it

>> guest: i would put in timothy leary's phrase, to name, turn on daschle and point to forget his link go. there was a sense in the '60s, which many of our listeners or viewers may remember, that advertising was the devil. commercialism had ruined a television, ruined radio. it was time to get away from the big corporate speakers and spend more time with family, sitting in circles with guitars and with each other. the basic tenets of hippie dumb made a big turning away. some people were history. timothy leary, i spoke about him at the beginning. .. advertising has never been that tough, it hasn't always been there. it was invented and one of the reasons is it is an industry that is harvesting your own mind, your own attention it is by nature always intrusive, always a little distracting, always trying to do something you wouldn't necessarily want to do otherwise. if you were going to buy something otherwise, you wouldn't need advertising. it is always at the edge and it does provoke these results but as an early example in france, very interesting, we now think of the poster as not a b

you really see that there is still an and daschle hard at an agricultural heart in this country.it's still enormously important. it was really the people, i mean, sort of an embarrassment of riches. there were dozens of other stories that i could've told that would've been nearly as good. and so i've been have the latitude to kind of find it is nice journey. >> it's also kind of a cliffhanger. like you don't know, are they going to be able in the story about the cowboys, will that work? he has all these different people who are, you know, that he can get all these different people to work together is really amazing. his patients but really all the people you talk about are so patient and able to deal with people yelling at them from both sides. >> and open. i mean, you know, the thing that really struck me and you write, blunt end as a great example of a place where people hate each other's guts. that's where the spotted owl fight took place in western montana, probably the nastiest natural resources fight, one of the nastiest fights ever in history of the united states. you've g

new hampshire has been leading democrat daschle leaning democrat and ohio had been a tossup state and now it is leaning republican. and two other states missouri and indiana had been leaning republican now they are identified as solidly republican as this entire battlefield tightens. >> donald trump in hillary clinton are relying in part on others to drive their messages home. maloney trump and a longshot bid to shore up support with women. >> make america great again is not just some slogan. it is what has been in his heart since the day that i met him. >> president. obama in florida with attacks on trump that are growing more and more personal pick >> you don't see him hanging out with working people unless they are cleaning his room. or mowing the fairways on his golf club. >> indwell momentum may be on his side, it's still favors clinton. >> we are running the table for donald trump to get to those votes which is not to say that it would be impossible think how much change we have seen. still difficult. >> and, trying to capitalize on the investigation into his email use and famil

supreme court nominee so when there is a new supreme court nominee i guess this is more for senator daschle, it could apply to both, how would you address the people who say wait a minute, we should have had this last year, they blocked it, why can't we have some pay-back this time? >> well, i talked a minute ago about norms being lost, and i have to say i will make a prediction. i hope i'm wrong. but i would predict because this is now viewed as a very successful strategy on mitch mcconnell's behalf or on his part that you're going to see this happen over and over again. no president is going to feel confident about a nominee in the entire last year of his or her term. i think that's deplorable. i think that is wrong. that isn't the way things should operate. but i think it was viewed as a successful strategy in this case and i'm guessing it will be applied at some point in the future. >> i do think, by the way, that the supreme court issue was a key issue. i think the polling -- you can check this. a lot of polling showed that a lot of people that moved over to trump voted that way becaus

when there is a new supreme court nominee, i guess this is more for senator daschle but can apply to both, how would you address the people saying we should have had this last year? why can't we have pay back this time? >> i talked a minute ago about norms being lost. i will make a prediction. i hope i am wrong. but i would predict because this is now viewed as a very successful strategy on this partse --mitch mcconnell's that you will see this happen over and over again. no president will feel confident about a nominee in the entire last year of his or her term. i think that is deplorable. i think that is wrong. that is not the way things should operate. but i think it was viewed as a successful strategy in this case and i'm guessing it will be applied at some point in the future. >> i do think the supreme court issue was a key issue for voters. a lot of polling showed a lot of trump that moved over to voted that way because of the supreme court. this situation in the senate with regard to federal judges started back when i was still there in the early part of 2000 when we started h

see immediately when you look at this is that the government had a major role in buying these local daschle low-quality and risky mortgages. you might say the government created the market for those mortgages. they were the principal buyer and the holder of it. how serious were these mortgages ? in terms of their effect on the holders? this is an excerpt from a credit profile published by fannie mae in june 2009, about a year later. they had a chance at that point to take a look at what their losses came from, and this will show you they had 838 billion subprime dollars in subprime or otherwise week or high risk mortgages. if you look at the line below, it shows in 2008, 81.3% of their losses came from these mortgages that shows two things. first, the government was a major buyer, in fact fact i believe created the market for these mortgages, and secondly, these mortgages, when they when they were held by the government, were the principal source of the losses that occurred in our financial system. why is all of this important? it's important because the response to the way the financial cr
