>> ask debbie wasserman -- i can't say that it impacted the ultimate outcome, but that it took place. go ask debbie wasserman schultzyou. >> to be continued. i do appreciate your being here. i really do. by the way, i would love to talk to your boss on this. he's a watcher, he tweets about my show. mr. president-elect, i'll treat you with dignity and respect. come here and let me ask you these questions. thank you, sean! i do appreciate you. >> thank you, michael. >> all right, that was just a portion of the conversation. joining us now, michael smerconish, michael, there was a lot of heat there, but i want to get to the light of that conversation, where sean spicer says that -- i wrote it down here, no foreign entities should be interfering with the us election. then he goes to the point of, what proof is there that it impacted to outcome? between those two there, there is this canyon that from your perspective, is the trump transition team ignoring? even if it did not switch the outcome, aren't they at least curious about it? or think that someone should get to the bottom of what the impact was and actually who wa

do you worry that maybe without intending to do so, debby wasserman schultz tipped her bias that she'srt of distant observer of this race? her candidate is hillary clinton. >> i know you want to start a fight in the democratic party. but i'm not going to play. >> i would never do that. >> no, never. >> okay. >> gop convention is on. kneel is out recovering from heart surgery. he is doing well. we want trump, i think that's what i'm hearing from those delegates right there. >> it's a political theater. this is what people used to look at conventions for. giuliani speaks today. he is an italian american. that speech is -- >> to your heart. >> it's operetic. >> i heard you are a great singer. >> donald trump is the agent of change. and he will be the leader of the change we need. >> cleveland is buzzing over last night's fireworks. >> note your convention. vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom. >> we will make america proud again. and we will make america great again. >> you are looking live at the dnc in philadelphia where the gavel is about to sl

who's to say how many sanders people weren't pissed by the revelations in the dnc with debbie wasserman-schultz having the thumb and the scale and sit out where they otherwise would have voted for hillary? we could never know that. i want to be clear, i think we need to be uniform as americans. fine thought, we need to be uniform as americans against putin and russia, regardless of whether they were ultimately successful in electing donald trump. >> but one of the things, michael, that has been devoid of any of this conversation, you talk about what we know and what was certain based on what you guys hear and leaks and third party sources. this is what the director of national intelligence james clapper said in open testimony to the house of representatives. as far as the wikileaks connection, the evidence there is not as strong and we do not have good insight into the sequencing of the releases or when data may have been provided. we don't have good insight into that, end of quote. so you all want to talk in the media about these anonymous sources. that's what the director of national intellig

that's a lesson from debbie wasserman schultz's tenure. she eventually came under criticism. some people would argue it helped that she had the position she did with fund raising and other things but at the end of the day her attention and priorities were divided because she had two things to worry about. most democrats i talked to don't want it to happen this time. it's also evident that ellison has come under pressures in recent days. he's had to talk a lot about comments he made in the past that have come under intense scrutiny from the anti-defamation league which has labeled them as antisemitic. so that's been something he's been trying to work on. the challenge also for democrats here trying to figure out how to make the race not be about re-fighting the bernie sanders/hillary clinton primary. people have been focused on making sure that's not the se. howard dean said on this show that it was something he was worried about over the course of the last couple of months. ellison didppear with bernie sanders. he was the second person in congress to endorse sanders in the pr

go ask debbie wasserman-schultz. to be continued. i do appreciate you being here. by the way, love to talk to your boss on this. he's a watcher. he twee tweets about my show. mr. president, let me ask you these questions. i appreciate you. >> thank you, michael. >> i've lost my plays. i don't know where the hell we are. >>> still to come, a popular cracker jack and nut vendor at the phillies baseball games fired her, look, i'm going to talk about this story next. i just think that that issue of a foreign hack of an american election is as serious as it gets. and i want to know all the facts. and frankly, i don't care where the chips fall. if they hurt democrats, if they hurt republicans, that's not my game. i'm not here. this is not fox and this is not msnbc. i'm trying to figure out where the truth lies. back in a minute. ♪ i want a hippopotamus for christmas ♪ ♪ only a hippopotamus will do at the united states postal service, we deliver more online purchases to homes than anyone else in the country. and more hippopotamuses, too. ♪ so whatever your holiday priorit

that would be a big and new development, i think we know to a certainty, given podesta and debbie wasserman schultz't we, as americans, upset about the fact that a foreign hostile actor apparently put its thumb on the scale in our election and why doesn't donald trump want to get to the bottom of that as he takes office? that's the issue. >> well, first of all -- okay. there's a couple things. one, is i am outraged. i don't think any foreign entity, any individual -- >> why don't you say that? why didn't trump say that? that's what i haven't heard. >> stop and let me -- okay. i just said it. let me actually take yes for an answer. i said it. i don't think donald trump doesn't think no one thinks that a foreign entity should be interfering with the u.s. elections. now let's get to the next thing, what proof does anyone have that they affected the outcome, zero. show me what facts have actually shown that anything undermined that election. donald trump 306 electoral votes, 62 million americans voted for him, so what proof do you have or anyone has that any of this affected the outcome of the election

. >> we know debbie wasserman-schultz rigged the process. her office is 4 blocks away from the cia and they couldn't detect her. how good could they be. lou: donald trump is about to kick off his thank you rally in orlando, florida. that's rick scott, the governor of florida. ways your sense of the cabinet and your reaction to those peopling what will be the donald trump administration? >> i think it's a tremendous cabinet but i don't like the secretary of state. i want to see what he says during the hearings. i'm very, very suspect of that. but the other picks have been spectacular. this has been world class, particularly in the prime position. and some of the stuff outside the box that he's done. i don't like tillerson, i don't like all the putin stuff. i want to see what he says during the transition -- during the hearings. lou are's the top diplomat. don't you want hip to like everybody? >> no. lou: general mattis -- then we bringing you general mattis as secretary of defense, then we get an understanding of a different order. >> general

the primary was full of discussions of debbie wasserman schultz.ugh how this works and does it matter who wins this intramural battle? >> there are 440 members, about 440 members of the democratic national committee. so this actually ends up being a lot like running for student body president as opposed to some bigger national office. it does have national implications, though, especially when the democrats don't are the white house. when the democrats have the white house, like the past eight years with president obama, they choose the chair and the chair really answers to the white house at the end of the day. without a white house, the democratic national chair becomes very, very central. they are responsible for message and for infrastructure. that means things like the voter file, the database of all voters, for communications in press, for working with and building state parties, all 50 state parties, hopefully. so, it becomes very, very important who the dnc chair is. even though, only about 444 people will elect him or maybe her, in a coupl

wondered why didn't the fbi walk over, they are a half mile away, knock on the door, call debbie wasserman schultz and say we see a problem here. and it is hard to understand, we are talking about the dnc helping run the presidential primaries and is involved in the 2016 campaign in a fundamental way. you would think that fbi would realize they need to elevate. >> i would think elevate from the ground up. let me ask you about the white house position. can you tell from your reporting when they got the word that this was going on, that there is real problem here with hacking from the russians of the democrats and that because in your piece you point out that they were trying to hack in or did hack into the white house system as well. why didn't they go to war and say publicly the russians are, we are putting you on guard right now, on notice, stop this in its tracks or we are coming at you. why didn't they do that a year ago? >> it was not until the end of april that dnc finally formally confirmed they had malware on this system taen was compromised. june 16 it became public. they were waiting six

debbie wasserman-schultz learned the hard way about this. as to how you're supposed to proceed with either each other or others when you're sending e-mails back and forth? were you given any type of guidance how to proceed in this post election state >> i can't speak to any of that right now. that's -- i can't touch on that right now. >> how about you do you feel differently? >> everyone increases e-mail security. if you think someone is hacking into your personal e-mail, you take a two-step verifications i feel more cautious about using e-mail especially throughout the election cycle. that's part of the job >> as an individual do you feel like you can be completely free and have as much candor as you want now >> my personal, any e-mail, g mail or yahoo, i feel like i need to be prepared in case the e-mail is on the front page of the "washington post." that's something to watch out for. whatever you put in that e-mail, it could put out anywhere, personal messages, what have you, even when i was on capitol hill, you take that security. you sh

wouldn't just have one person doing it which has not necessarily worked well for the democrats, debbie wasserman schultz was the last person that led the party full-time. and now you have this proposal, maybe buckley would run it and be the messenger and maybe somebody else would do the day to day work, as well as jamie harrison who is another good candidate from south carolina, runs the democratic party there. i think it may be boiled down to those two. there's also tom perez. that's a new name. he's being pushed by the president as someone who's less of an ideal -- >> find a place called unity. now how do they get to unify and around what willnify because clearly their message was far off base and it happened quite expensively because they thought they had this election in the bag and it turns out they were woefully wrong. >> i think they're going to look to what attracted new voters and what excited the voters. the clinton faction is at a bit of a disadvantage in this fight because they didn't win. whereas the people who were attracted to donald trump were from the same region that went for bernie sa

five years of turmoil under debbie wasserman schultz.ent didn't seem to mind, the rise of ofa competing with dnc. it's not clear barack obama, who was a community organizer, knew how to organize at this level. other democrats are taking the reins there. >> so flash forward a couple years, 2018. democrats will have to defend ten seats in states donald trump won. when it comes to these big votes we expect to see coming up, for example, repeal of the affordable care act, et cetera. what is the calculus going to be for lawmakers in these places? >> well, there are different kinds of trump states. there are states like west virginia, north dakota and montana, where democrats are up on the ballot and donald trump won very strongly.

we had scandals with debbie wasserman schultz and then when donna brazile took over and so whoever to only clean up, but possibly do an audit about what happened in 2016 and the months and years leading up to 2016 and they also have to provide a vision for the party when a party is out of power not just in the presidency but also in congress by pretty significant numbers. >> it seems like there are times when parties just want to tweak, and there are times when parties hook really inward to the structure or what we used to call, the system, man. when you look at a party as some clinton aides have repeatedly stressed that got more votes, maybe they don't have to blow up the whole thing, what do you think? >> there's a certain level of arrogance within the democratic party, and i think i've been part of that arrogance, thinking that hillary clinton was heir apparent. we can't forget, bernie sanders really made an impact. and so while so many democrats were pointing the finger at the war going on in the republican party, i don't think people realize with how many democrats are not satisf

debbie wasserman schultz, she's sort of gotten sidetracked as well.re you concerned that a generation of house democrats are being lost to house leadership? >> i actually think a new generation of house and senate and state democrats are moving their way up and going to make a big, big difference. we, for example, in california grew our delegation. we, in fact, in the house won seats in some people's spots. democrats actually won seats in the house, and some of those new members are just as dynamic as they get, whether you're talking about salut carbahol or stephanie murphy in orlando, florida. we have some astounding people who are going to assume office who will be generational leaders. >> there have been some really concerned house members, younger democrats who are very unhappy that nothing changed. despite three or four straight cycles where things haven't gone well, nothing changed. i want to play to you one from congressman schrader from oregon. take a listen. >> i'm very worried. we just decided the democrats' ticket for the next ten years, un

i mean, debbie wasserman schultz is out of a job because of this issue.ve all grown tired of reading john podesta's e-mails. respectfully i think sean was trying to say, yes, but, there's a report that the rnc was hacked. i know to a certainty that the rnc was not hacked. therefore, we're casting doubt on all of this information and it was me saying, let's get to the bottom of it. what i'm most troubled by, chris, is the idea that now partisanship is trumping patriotism. what happened to the idea that we would unite against a common enemy and that we would be americans first and republicans, democrats and independents second. that's what has me frustrated. >> this should be a bipartisan issue, no doubt. but basically he's saying our software shows that the rnc computers weren't hacked and the cia is saying their malware or whatever you call it shows fingerprints in the rnc's computers just like the dnc's from russia. so, i guess, who are you going to go with, but shouldn't we go with our 17 intelligence agencies? they do this for a living. >> we should. a

you know, it's one thing to have the president and the vice president -- and that's how debbie wasserman schultz and as a governor. but it's another thing to have lost the white house, and now we have to commit full-time to working with our 50 states, our six territories, and the democrats abroad. it has to be a full-time position. >> let me push you on another criticism that keith ellison has been facing in recent days and wee weeks, the anti-defamation league. are they justified in voicing their concerns about congressman ellison and his, as they describe it, ability to represent traditional democratic support for israel as they put it? >> listen, i know keith very well. i knew him when he was a freshman member of congress, and i do not believe those allegations against him. i think he's somebody who can bring people together, and he's a great member of congress and a good progressive fighter. and i just -- you know, i don't want to weigh in on that, but i don't believe those type of accusations. >> democrats obviously down in congress and in state houses around the country. you put it simply.

including debbie wasserman schultz. >> you have senator ron white and joe manchin and senator richardapter starting here. we can voice our frustration because this isn't something we want to get behind. >> remember when president obama was campaigning he needed a lot of pro-israel support so we didn't hear any of this from him. but another big part of the obama campaign, especially in 2008 was we are going to go and talk to iran and north korea and cuba. all of these enemies. look what he -- when you are spending that time much time with the enemies, what about our friends? if you are israel with friends like us, who needs enemies, man, they are by themselves at least for another couple weeks. >> and remember that scene at the democratic convention? i was there in charlotte in 2012. the fight over language in the platform about whether or not to move the u.s. embassy in israel. we have got it? >> all those delegates opposed say no. >> no. >> and the opinion of the chair two thirds have voted in the affirmative, the motion is adopted and the platform has been amended as shown on the sc

has been asked to become the california attorney general, steve israel who is retiring, debbie wasserman schultz who was removed as the chair of the dnc. if that's the case, where do you look to as far as potential leaders? who is making themselves known right now? who are the shining stars? >> and that has been the problem with the democratic caucus there is this bottleneck at the top. you're having this brain drain of younger guys who hit a certain level, and there is nowhere else to go. you mention the figures that have left and becerra is just the latest one of those. so it's a problem that they have. and they have to start looking deeper into the bench. they have to start rooting for these guys to come up. and we don't know who those figures are going to be. but you see joaquim castro in texas is often mentioned as a rising star. he spoke at the convention. you have joe kennedy in massachusetts. i think people think he is going to jump back to the state. but if he remains in the house, he is certainly a rising star. and if you look at the nominees that pelosi just made for some of these new

. >> we know debbie wasserman-schultz rigged the process.lou: donald trump is about to kick off his thank you rally in orlando, florida. that's rick scott, the governor of florida. ways your sense of the cabinet and your reaction to those peopling what will be the donald trump administration? >> i think it's a tremendous cabinet but i don't like the secretary of state. i want to see what he says during the hearings. i'm very, very suspect of that. but the other picks have been spectacular. this has been world class, particularly in the prime position. and some of the stuff outside the box that he's done. i don't like tillerson, i don't like all the putin stuff. i want to see what he says during the transition -- during the hearings. lou are's the top diplomat. don't you want hip to like everybody? >> no. lou: general mattis -- then we bringing you general mattis as secretary of defense, then we get an understanding of a different order. >> general mattis is the best pick in my view. he's routinely seen as beyond competent by everybody. that

you agree with the person he's pushing forward or frustrations of watching the disaster of debbie wasserman schultz followed by donna brazil cheerily working for insiders in the democratic party and not doing what they're supposed to do. say what you want about ellison and sanders has ever right to push forward in the way he is and try to attempt to afengt change for millions of people who are behind him. tople and he said a lot of things democrats should listen to you have to stop looking at electorate and hillary clinton coined basket of deplorables and ryan says that a lot of how the democratic party viewed electorate a basket here and there and group here and group over there. i have never been accused of being a racist until this last elect. what happened in the same people that elected president obama turn around and legislation elected donald trump. you tell me in eight years they all became racist that's a false and lousy aring the and when you have no substance anymore. identity politics makes black people think one way, white people think one way and women think one way i'm a female i don

hillary clinton, i have a hard time pointing to one specific thing called chaos, it hurt debbie wasserman schultzwhat did it do to change the election. >> it seems president obama is acknowledging that the russians succeeded in doing what they have long been in other countries, undermine the democratic process. >> yes. that is why you have a bunch of democrats upset about this saying they have been putting pressure on obama, intelligence agencies say the russians tried to influence the election, there is retaliatory action. >> exactly what those intelligence agencies find out, more on that later after the break. in the meantime appreciate it, good to see you. happy new year to you and yours. >> developing news from syria where the cease-fire, russia and turkey negotiating, it took effect at midnight. kitty logan is live in london. what is the situation like in syria right now? >> reporter: that the fire came into force that midnight local time. there have been isolated reports about classes overnight. what we are hearing is reports almost immediately after it started last night, and 12 hours late

debbie wasserman schultz move to the chair dnc. if that's the case, would you look to it making itself known right now who are the shining stars? >> that it's been the problem with the democratic vote. you have this brain drain of younger guys have had a certain level and there's nowhere else to go. just the latest one of those. they have to start looking d deeper to root for these guys to come out. you see joaquin castro mentioned as a rising star. joe kennedy in massachusetts. people think he's going to jump back in the state. he remains in the house. he certainly a rising star. if you look at the nominees for some of these new leaderships to carve out at the hawaii democrat who will be now in leadership.ha they are going to have to elect somebody side terms are less they are going to elect today. certainly seth bolton and kathleen wright who had made their name by opposing policies and came out at the out at dmn endorse tim ryan which is a political risk for them in the mirror term. they are playing the long gamest and those are
