what are your thoughts on donna brazile? >> well, you remember that scene in "ghostbusters" where they say don't cross the streams, because if you do, terrible things happen? well, donna brazile has crossed the the streams, crossed the clintons. and when you do that, the equivalent is crossing the streams in "ghostbusters." and donna has created an extraordinary explosion within democratic circles. i believe that her motive is, quite frankly, to say it's time to put the clintons behind us and the future of the country in front of us, and i think that there are a lot of democrats who deep down -- they don't want to say it, because they don't want to cross those streams, that's not a safe place to be. but i think a lot of them would like to say, clintons, thanks for your past service, but we're done with you. you've got to go. here's the door, we'd like to see you go through it. elizabeth: you think this is the end of the clinton era. is that what you think? >> look, if there's more to it, i can't imagine how that would play o

just posting this saying that donna brazile claims after hillary clinton fainting spell on september ast year, that brazil considered removing clinton from the democratic ticket. you remember the video here that was shown on national tv several times. this is that situation where hillary clinton losing balance a little, and then moving into the vehicle. now, according to phillip rucker and "the washington post" writes in her new memoir that she deliberated after seeing this whether to use her power as dnc chair to install vice president biden in the top post. this reporting just coming out from rucker. let's bring in our panel p a republican strategies. let's kick it off. what do you make of this bomb shell that donna brazile has, again, her title, head of the dnc, release of her memoir, removing hillary clinton? >> you know, i think donna is figuring out how to sell books. because the reality and the rules, as i know them, is that a dnc chair cannot remove a candidate. in the situation where there was some kind of incapacitation or something else, there would be an imagine committee

donna brazile joins us tonight.hanks for coming on. >> hey, what a great honor to be with you tonight after the democrats did so well across the country yesterday. i'm excited to be here, excited about what happened in virginia and new jersey, and excited to talk to you about my new book. let me say this. >> tucker: [laughs] let me ask a question. congratulation on on your party success last night. >> thank you. >> tucker: i've been watching because i've known you a long time and i've watched to work for more than 20 years, and i'm watching people who know you well, journalists and democratic party officials, go after you, and the one thing i noticed is that the attacks all sound the same. my guess, and i want to ask you as a professional political person, it seems obvious that there was coordination, that someone is doing oppo on you in response to your book. who you think that is? >> i don't really have time to figure out who is spending -- i'm sure some much needed money that needs to go to democratic candidates

remember, donna brazile pointed out it was hillary clinton's idea to pay those agitators to follow donaldmp around. brazile also admitted that president trump was right about democrats paying protesters.ls also, brazile was right and that the book in the clinton campaign was a cult. breitbart news chairman, mr. bannon, where were you one year ago tonight? >> i was with the president in the war room on the 14th floor of our campaign headquarters, and then went up to the residence when it got closer to victory. >> sean: let me ask you about yesterday, because you have been very outspoken. you are tired of weak republicans, but more importantly, they are trying to say last night was a referendum on donald trump. true or false? >> definitely false. what we had is an establishment candidate, ed gillespie won a primary, very hard fought primary versus corey stewart, and then really didn't try to embrace president trump or really the trump program until very late, where he just kind of basically talked about some of the issues, which i thought he should try to do more of. he never invited presid

association charges that will come out. >> erin, just stay with you and this just gets to the donna brazil bombshell about the dnc and hillary clinton. brazil considered replacing clinton with joe biden in the aftermath of that infamous fainting spell. what do you make of that? >> keir, i think that is a really hard thing for her to prove, because that didn't come out at all in this fall -- last fall, rather if she was actually considering it. and i think if this were a real thing, we would have heard something about it at the time. no one else has corroborated that story. and if anything, i think donna brazil is trying very hard to get in with joe biden and cory booker, both of whom are considering presidential runs in 2020. i think this is a really hard thing for her to prove and i'm not sure how true it is. >> josh, quickly, who is on the right side of this, former clinton campaign officials or donna brazil. >> i find this book or at least what we've seen to be totally bizarre. it seems like her list of things that she knew at the time, that she knew the clinton campaign had a terrible

that's when donna brazil came in . she says they were rigging the convention to throw the primary to hillary clinton. in investing in the commit he debt clinton would essentially control the party's finances and strategy. the clinton campaign isn't talking about brazil's claims and neither is bernie sandersment she used her role as commemorator to steer the questions to hillary clinton . slow fundraising has been a serious problem for the. dnc will hope energize its fundraising. let's talk about the russia investigation. the president's son-in-law has turned over documents to the special counsel's team. investigators have already start ed to scattered about kushner's role in the firing of james comey, but kushner is also reportedly not the target of the investigation. he voluntarily turned over documents from the campaign and the transition. so far there has been one guilty plea in the special's council investigation and that being former campaign director george pap lose. the guilty plea may have dashed his political

we will have all the new resolutions from donna brazile's tell-all book.n later tonight, breaking new details, a special "hannity" monologue. we will tell you all about how the clintons bought and paid for the fake news russian dossier. we have no information tonight. also, former white house chief strategist steve bannon is coming here, we will react to all of this. but first tonight's breaking news opening monologue. where were you one year ago tonight? a historic milestone. it's been one year since donald trump was elected the 45th president of the united states. the president pulled off one of the biggest upsets american politics has ever seen by easily defeating hillary clinton. the president celebrated the anniversary by tweeting out "congratulations to all the deplorable's in the millions of people who gave us a massive 304-227 electoral college landslide victory." president trump's big win happen despite in media and political class that was all unified and stopping him from reaching the oval office. we can't forget how all the pundits, all the pol

reporter: bernie sanders had no comment on donna brazile.he alleges debbie wasserman-schultz was rigging the system to throw the primary to hillary. >> thank you for the great convention that we had. reporter: the clinton campaign raised $8 million to retire the party's debt but exacted a great price. robbie mook with a copy to marc elias, hillary would control hillary's finances and strategy and all the money raised. it would make final decisions on all the other staff. dnc was required to consult with the campaign about staffing, data and an lit is and mailing. this was signed in august 2014. nearly a year before she officially had the nomination. >> the way the dnc had to rely on the clinton campaign for the money and resources to continue even operating. reporter: debbie wasserman-schultz told fox news she is proud of her work at the dnc. reporter: the clinton campaign did not respond to our query, nor would the federal elections commission disclose whether they were investigatinged the allegations. yet the excerpt neglects to mention br

donna brazile was not some fringe left-wing character.ty establishment mainstay and had spent years defending the clintons. this was a sign that the page has turned and people are casting their lots with where they see the future of the party. increasingly, i think it's the party's liberal wing. >> bret: the president did tweet today after he got the twitter from 11 minutes last night. "pocahontas alleged hillary clinton rigged the primaries." pocahontas is elizabeth warren, senator from massachusetts. that is the president's name with her. >> who agrees now the election was rigged, but supported hillary clinton at the convention. this is ironic. i just received an email, i'm sure everyone did as well, there is a series of events celebrating the 25th anniversary of bill clinton's election in 1992 going to be taking place all around town. it started with an ironic capstone to the clinton era. >> bret: another panel about the fbi and justice department cheering for the president. next up, the friday lightning round, and winners and losers.

donna brazile exposed a secret. night on this show, but tonight, a campaign finance expert will tell us that that arrangement between the dnc and the hillary campaign may have violated federal law. details ahead. but first, this, in 1994, executives from the seven largest tobacco companies in america were summoned to congress to ask lane themselves. in their testimony, executives said that smoking cigarettes or is not addictive. they were lying. they've known all along about nicotine add

that's donna brazile's point. >> you're exactly right.he decided to run for president, she knew one of the first orders of business was rebuilding the democratic party, raising money so she could get the party out of debt. she and bernieing sanders were both presented with the same joint fundraising agreement which, by the way, is very standard in presidential campaigns on both the democratic and republican side. she chose to enter into it, he did not. that's fine. but she was able to harness her donor network to rebuild the party -- david: okay, adrienne, we can argue these points, and that's fine. my real question is it's clear with donna brazile making very negative comments about hillary clinton, with liz warren doing the same and now tulsi gabbard and other democrats, she's no longer the standard bearer. >> well, i want to clarify something. these people are not making negative comments about hillary clinton, they're talking about the process. and chairman perez did come out yesterday -- david: adrienne, we don't have much time. who

and i do take donna brazile seriously.e the democrats think she's just another crazy woman. >> donna brazile should have known better. any candidate takes over the party. john mccain did that. the democrats do the same. it goes back decades. somehow or other, she acted offended as if somehow they were taking it out on her when they want to make decisions ashe opposed to her. so she's putting the spin of about whether it sexism or whatever, this whole nonsense that she spit out about somehow or other because of her race ors whatnot. >> tucker: just tell me of someone who is kind of following along, sort of watching as our culture change is really fast. and i'm writing this downd because i want to keep this for future reference.ur when are the times i can just dismiss allegations of racism and sexism with the back of my hand and call them nonsense as you just did?? when am i allowed to do that? >> when there's evidence to the contrary. the evidence here is, so manydo people at the top of theco heap for the campaign -- up and

with donna brazile doing it, it must sting.she was tainted by what she did with the cnn questions for hillary, having essentially stolen them and giving them to hillary clinton, then saying she didn't do it. swearing she didn't do it in an interview, then coming back and admitting she had. but she still has status in the party. and her word does have weight in the party. so where will the party end up? >> it's interesting you bring about this leak. donna brazile said she lit candles and put on gospel music to prepare herself to call bernie sanders to tell him she found the smoking begun memo to show the election was rigged. but what she didn't put in the book was she herself leaked a question to hillary from cnn. anybody who is against -- wasn't feeling the bern. they have to atone for their past sins and get right with these people. david: i think it's a myth that there was a centrist party. but hillary clinton wants as far left as bernie sanders or elizabeth warren. but is the more moderate section of the democratic party goi

this is an all out battle playing out between donna brazile the democrat, the media, after she revealedthe dnc primary election and stole the nomination from bernie sanders. it's all unfolding. and brazile has a message for critics. go straight to hell. the hills john solomon is senator chuck

do you believe donna brazile? >> gillian: i believe that donna brazile accurately believes what she wrote. i don't think it's the whole story. i don't think it's a whole story. it's one person's view of it. >> harris: we will move on. >> gillian: i don't really care that much. i care about the future, not the past. >> harris: with a tax reform bill in hand, no time to sell it. of the work ahead for republicans as they rally support for their new tax plan and the potential holdouts could do meant. and dealing with north korea. president trump is headed to a show for a 12 day trip. you can bet on the agenda at north korea's newest threats. the next debate, what the president must do as he makes a big return to the world stage. we will talk about it, stay close. happy friday. patrick woke up with back pain. but he has work to do. so he took aleve. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. aleve. all day stron

we tolerate the actions of donna brazile and the book came out and the revelations and now she is backtrackingthink donna is right now in an underground bunker in an undisclosed location because these are explosive things that she said in this book and i'm pretty sure she has no ambitions to further the a democrat strategists. i have no donna a long time and i know this will surprise people but i like donna brazile. i've had a good relationship with her through the years. i think what she's really saying, the big messages, we have to move past the clintons and we have to build the party without them and she is being very candid about some things that she saw. which he described at hillary clinton orders and i thought this was graphic. she said it was like a sterile hospital environment where someone had died. that's hillary's own team describing hillary's campaign headquarters. out. [laughter] >> are you sure that's not the actual place where she went and fainted? abby: that is what donald brazil popped up. choose one of the most loyal people to the clintons and in another excerpt the document

this is just over 45 minutes. >> we want to welcome donna's brazil -- donna brazile. the break-ins and breakdowns that the donald trump in the white house. has your week? exciting, i've heard from friends, as well as people who wanted to not only encourage me to tell my story, you wanted to know more about the hack. >> you see a lot of enemies. i want to get your reaction from whatrepublicans, this is was said on cnn this past week. approached both campaigns about the fundraising agreement, they were broke. they want going to make payroll, they weren't going to be able to transfer money to the state parties to give them operational, they were in a better place. both the sanders and clinton campaigns signed fundraising agreements, we thought it was a good thing to sign up for. the only difference was sanders didn't raise any money, and we did. money,ers was raising you had some big money donors. he was getting more domitian -- donations from private donors. >>>> it would have been great for the dnc to restart with him. hillary turned over her it is important for low do

and it's not just donna brazile. you pick up the new yorker, read the story about the democratic party, look at stan greenberg, who started with clintons and now scorning on how hillary clinton ran her campaign, the same thing happening in virginia which has an election on tuesday. this is a party that is -- >> yeah. and i think people have been rightly focused on the republican party, and the individual in the oval office who gives plenty of reasons, often in 140 characters, to focus on him and the republican party on a daily basis. speeches on the senate floor. the democratic party is in a bad place right now, in the sense of there is no unity going forward. as mike points out, just the stark divisions post 2016. and people -- i'm not saying this is what senator warren was trying to do, but i get this all of the time on capitol hill -- democrats trying to figure out how to position themselves going forward. what is our party, what are the issues that our party should be pursuing? where is the grass roots versus whe

tommy lauren and -- why are you laugh something. >> what donna brazile said is so laughable. >> so donnaar? >> donna brazile made it seem as the 2015 joint fund-raising agreement is what the 2016 -- >> sean: that was -- >> bernie sanders -- >> sean: why did they write an article that that is one of the biggest lies that bernie signed the same thing? it's not true. >> it is true. look at it. he raised zero dollars -- >> sean: so let me -- what you're saying is donna brazile is a liar? that's what you're saying? >> that's what it looks like. >> sean: when she said it was rigged. >> how do you rig four million votes? >> sean: she called bernie sanders -- >> you read that except. she had to light a candle and mood on mood music -- >> sean: i wouldn't want to tell somebody that you don't have a shot because -- what about hillary controlling the hiring and the finances of the dnc and not bernie? >> but she did after she was the nominee, which is the right of -- >> sean: this is before. >> it was a 2016 agreement, not the 2015 agreement. >> sean: i honestly believe that -- i swear, if the clint

that is according to donna brazile.hey repeatedly lied to the american people and their own party grassroots with claims they were being fair to senator bernie sanders. it's interesting tonight, president trump and his interview with laura ingraham side, all of this was dishonest. >> that is a big story what you are saying, it's illegal, number one. it is really very unfair to bernie sanders. i'm not a fan, although i must say i got a lot of his votes when he was thrown out. many of those people voted for me because of trade. i agreed with him on trade weights figure political magazine has an excerpt from brazile's new book and here it is. it is published, an expert, she recounts taking over the dnc in the summer of 2016 and learning it was broke and being propped up by the clinton camp because congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz's team had signed a team deal with the clinton camp, and which she agreed to raise money for the dnc to keep them afloat in exchange for her control of the dnc, all happening in private back

former dnc chair, donna brazile. brazil rewrote wrote she continl plate contemplated replacing hillary clinton for the nominee with joe biden after hillary's fainting spell. >> under pressure after secretary clinton fainted to have a plan b . i didn't' a plan b . i supported hillary, i wanted her to win. but, we were under pressure. lou: brazil claims she inherited a party in disarray, and deeply in debt, because president obama had blundered moneys raised by party, president obama, hillary clinton, and de debbie wasserman schultz were 3 titanic, ogoes to stripped party to a shell for their own purposes, and. >> clinton corruption does not end there. new reports that an early draft of james comey's statement, exonerating hillary clinton, accused her of being grossly negligent in handling classified information in the first draft. according to the reports of the hill, that said that language was changed to extremely careless weather when comey anno charges again clinton last year in july. change is significant, federal

you know what i tell them, go to hell. >> reporter: in an exclusive interview with george, donna brazile, the former head of the dnc, tells her side of the story. the latest stunning revelation, she considered replacing hillary clinton. >> i was under tremendous pressure after secretary clinton fainted to have a, quote/unquote plan b. >> reporter: after this moment just two months before election day, brazile considered putting joe biden at the top of the ticket. again and again i thought about joe biden she writes but adds i could not make good on that threat to replace her. >> i didn't want a plan b. plan a was great for me. i supported hillary and i wanted her to win. >> reporter: shocked more than top 100 clinton aides write it is particularly troubling and

is it just a fight between clinton staffers and donna brazile?razile was head of the dnc and not a person on the sideline. >> that's right. those of you who have worked with her and a contributor on cnn have a great deal of respect for her. look. i thought that the particular revelation that she had sort of, at least considered some of the machinery that is in the dnc charter and gives her the power, i imagine, in some kind of health emergency, to replace the nominee, if need be. i thought that was interesting but a little bit routine. you know? if you can go back to a 9/11, i mean, there was a great deal of discussion about what happened. she collapsed, for god's sake and carried into her car and a blackout period when nobody knew what was going on. under the circumstances, donna brazile is saying, if i have to, i have to at least be thinking about what we might do. and she also reveals in the book in the excerpt she was not the only one thinking we don't know how serious this health thing is. maybe it's nothing, but if it's serious, we are goin

i know a lot >> look, jim, i think donna brazile's publisher wants her book to sell well.dn't be more inopportune for us in terms of distracting the conversation where it should be on tax reform and the republicans frankly bailing out corporations at the expense of the middle class but no, i don't think that the discussion that miss brazile is bringing to the forefront is anything new. i think bernie sanders put it perfectly when he said to the president today we're not going to be distracted by you or by this this manufactured crisis. >> that almost sounds like the words of a guy who might be running in 2020. >> you know, i'm not going to presume what bernie sanders is thinking for 2020. >> so, but obviously there was a lot of -- i'll say this. regardless of how you stood and regardless of how people at home stand you can't deny this is a guy who really energized the process and there was a lot of excitement about him but then we saw tom perez give new leadership in the seems like he still has two different visions of where he thinks people should move. >> to be clear i t

donna brazil came out with a new book in which she reveals the entire primary election was indeed a rigged financially that is nothing else just financially just financially the book is actually entitle to hacks and when i. when i saw that title i was very self-aware of her. impressed yet you don't see donald trump putting out a book titled sack of. words or canadian prime minister justin trudeau putting out a book titled i'm a fan bloated oil covered virus inside a backstreet boy skin suit. yes son of brazil is one of the democratic establishment hacks but still she has decided to reveal some interesting truths about our corrupt system she. she said there was an agreement between the d.n.c. the hillary campaign and the state democratic parties that allowed hillary and her people to both build their campaign coffers and run the d.n.c. a year before bernie sanders was knocked out of the primary here's how brazil explained the money launderers individuals who had maxed out their twenty seven hundred dollars contribution limit to the campaign could write an additional check for three hundred

more expensive bombshells from dnc had donna brazile. our fair and balanced panel to weigh in on brazile claim. >> i wasn't involved in the presidential. this is about the future. replace one meal... ...or snack a day with glucerna... ...made with carbsteady... ...to help minimize blood sugar spikes... ...you can really feel it. now with 30% less carbs and sugars. glucerna. giveyou're finished! curse you, he-man, you interfering imbecile! give us one good reason we shouldn't vanquish you to another dimension! ok, guys, hear me out. switching to geico could save you... hundreds on car insurance. huh, he does make a point... i do like to save money... catch you on the flip, suckas! geico. because saving fifteen percent or more on car insurance is always a great answer. leland: excerpt from acting dnc chairwoman donna brazile tell-all memoir takes a picture of a democratic party and claims the clinton campaign to control the dnc fund raising before she was the party nominee and now new expert claim brazil considered removing the team as nomi

the bombshell by donna brazile is picking up steam. the president saying it was illegal and should be investigated. >> and remembers the president's fire and fury comment? well, the national security adviser saying don't expect mr. trump to tone down his rhetoric. whether that's the right approach -- >> and we'll discuss and we'll see you then. >> melissa: the department of justice has identified at least six russian government officials as suspects in the 2016 hacking of the democratic national committee and prosecutors are now looking at filing criminal charges against them. joining me now is morgan wright a cyber security analyst at the center for digital government. morgan, i always wondered why this doesn't get more attention. the entire system was hacked and so much was caused because of this and the dnc didn't want to hand over their servers for inspection, right? >> they didn't want to collaborate and there's the podesta e-mails. this was a keystone cop events from the beginning. >> melissa: why do you think they didn't want to

donna brazile, welcome to the program.l, thanks for having me today. stuart: we really wanted to ask you right off the bat why do you think that hillary clinton lost? >> well, i think there were a combination of factors. one, of course, is >> if we want to get past what happened in 2016, there are three things we should do. one, we need to acknowledge that the russian interference should not have played a role in our elections. and three and most importantly, every american should understand the threat of cybersecurity and to take prudent steps to protect their own identity, protect their own software and whatever else that they are using. stuart: i don't think she lost because of the russians or cyber hacking of the dnc -- [laughter] i think she lost because it was a lousy campaign -- >> well, that -- look, look -- stuart: was she a good candidate? >> look, i didn't run her campaign, but had i run her campaign, i would have ran it differently because i believe you run a campaign that is positive, and you run a campaign th

brazil hints -- donna brazil was part of the dnc during the al gore era.sn't seem like he ever had strong allegiances to the hillary campaign down the road. she came in during the election last year, had to clean up the mess left by debbie wasserman schultz. >> she was accused of giving some of the questions from the debate questions to hillary clinton. >> one of the town halls. >> yeah, for one of the town hall debates. there's a lot to go with here, a lot that we're waiting to hear what she has to say. let's bring in ronica cleary now for more on this story that people are talking about tonight. ronica. >> reporter: hey, jim and shawn. we are waiting to hear a little bit more from donna brazil and i'll get to there in a minute. let me tell you, this excerpt from her book today in politico is definitel the democratic party. i mean, there's always been talk and whispers of whether or not the dnc was really an unbiased organization which is its responsibility, especially in that primary or whether or not they had -- they really wanted to see hillary clinton

i think donna brazile has a legitimate thing about being condescended, not being taken seriously by hillary's team after she stepped in to save them. guess what, there is a contrary argument to a donna hillary clinton literally financially bailed out the dnc, the same deal had been offered to bernie sanders. she took it, and in exchange, she started calling the tune about how they hired and what they had to sand donna donna said it seems like -- donna has gone back on the rigging claim. to me it's like this feeds the republican narrative that there is such dissension among democrats when in fact the big split that we know especially today, tonight is among republicans after what happened on monday, tuesday. >> jesse: we will get to that later. what do you think about the allegation of sexism and racism coming from donna brazile? you had jen palmeri at the top of the campaign. does it strike you as off? >> dana: i trust women -- they know it when they see it or hear it. donna brazile is not someone who throws around allegations like that. she was the first woman to run a presidential campaign

chair donna brazil claimed bernie sanders was cheated in the primary but the rigging goes further the g.o.p. establishment didn't embrace then nor now are both parties at war with themselves. cross talking parties in crisis i'm joined by my guest him black in washington he's a political analyst commentator and host of the tim black show in new york we have steve malzberg he is a conservative political commentator and in cairo we cross loria he is an independent journalist former wall street. journal correspondent and author of how i lost my hillary clinton with the forward by julian assange all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciated our joe let me go to you first dear the huffington post refugee as we speak right now tell us quickly what happened because it has kind of a tangent to what we're talking about today rigging we're going to talk about rigging the election the media is rigged to joe tell our viewers what happened yes i wrote a piece for a consortium news about a week ago in which i showed that the crowd

donna brazil felt very disrespected. so i think this is book is about clearing the air and from her perspective, telling the truth. >> joel, from the perspective of the democratic party, how badly does this hurt the democratic party? is this the right time to have this conversation? >> well, jacob, i ran for congress the last year and a half to say, this is not helpful for the democratic party right now, and frankly, it only seems to serve donna brazil. democratic party has been trying to mend its fences and advance itself in the year-term elections, including one next tuesday. now, who's been aggrieved in this debate? bernie sanders has a credible argument. but even senator sanders, when he found out from donna brazil that there was an agreement with the dnc that disadvantaged him, he didn't go public, he didn't complain. he buckled down, advocated for hillary clinton in the general election and frankly that's the kind of approach that we need to win elections. this is just barn-burning and it's unfortunate that it's co

so, wasserman schultz here is not directly refuting donna brazile's claim. can you say without ais shadow a doubt that hillary clinton wasn't demanding more control over the party for her fund-raising efforts? >> no. congresswoman wasserman schultz is exactly right. we have major elections coming up. we have a virginia's governor race on tuesday, which by the way i'll be knocking on doors this weekend with many of my former clinton colleagues in virginia. look, we do have a lot of work to do. congresswoman schultz, it's very clear we did not have a very strong party going before we went into the 2016 elections. we didn't have basically any money. the democratic party was not able to make its payroll. secretary clinton- the clintons have made it clear for years they want a strong party. they've been raising money for years. secretary clinton and the president clinton have been raising money for the democratic party well before she decided to run for president. again, for her going into this campaign, she did everything to ensure the democratic party was in pl

whether she did all thing donna brazile does not have the cleanest hands in all the things that donnazile alleges or not, i don't know. i would make two points related to what donny said and earlier, president obama did the party no favors here. he did not really embrace the importance of stability in the party apparatus the way president clinton had, as a result the party was left essentially broke and dysfunction am. as we sit here today, looking ahead, which is probably as important as looking back, web are in the same place t.dnc is not very present in the lives of active democrats like myself they are not raising money successfully. tom sprez a nice and capable guy, the rnc is outraising them, as you pointed out, we lost the 900 legislature seats and the senate positions. somebody's got to pull the dnc and party apparatus together. right now we don't have a leader as donny said. >> we will have donna brazile on next week. when we come back, donald trump has reacted to this donna brazile story and reaction from the bernie sander's campaign when "morning joe" comes right back. the

let's not remember how donna brazile ascended to the head of the dnc. it was the controversy with debbie wasserman schultz and all of those things going on there. you had the insurrection of bernie sanders that no one really saw coming. even as far back as the summer of 2014, going into 2015, you could see articles written in "the washington post" and others inside the beltway stuff, but articles written about how folks really were not happy on the progress side about the potential of a hillary clinton c candidacy. she was not well-liked which opened the door for bernie sanders run which was surprising to a lot of folks similar to the popularity of donald trump. so this doesn't sturprise me ths was under consideration, because there were a lot of people who nt waed joe biden to run. i think a lot of republicans who voted for him over donald trump. because there was a disdain for hillary clinton there were a lot in the middle that couldn't bring themselves to vote for her even though they were wearily of donald trump rightly so. >> donna herself doesn't

donna brazile herself, never fails to get a laugh.ughter] she seems to be distancing herself from the rigged claim which is weird because it is in her book and an interesting strategy it wasn't me, it was my book. [laughter] i know a religion that does that. anyway, here she is on tucker carlson explaining everything. >> i'm excited to talk to you about my new book. i wanted to write this book to tell my story. >> when you read the book it tells him hard truths. i wrote this book because i characterize in the book and that's why in the book that is a great question. let me tell you it's in the book as well. people are just questioning why donna would write a book. greg: i was just hypnotized by talkers of stoic face. [laughter] [applause] look, the last thing the democrats want is a divided party. they want to governors and they think their future is bright. honors book visits the ugly past. how should they move on? i have a solution that settles things once and for all. >> sunday, sunday, sunday. get ready to have be obliterated. the

so donna brazile is out to set the record straight.he's been add it all week about what she called the clinton cult and she would like to reshape the party that she loves in a post clinton image. she's taking no prisoners and the grenades keep coming. james rosen on that and bow bergdahl pleaded guilty to desertion. he received a dishonorable discharge and soldiers searched and died for him. but he may still get hundreds of thousands of dollars in back pay. this would be touch to bear for those that laid everything on the line for him. >> having him get snuffed out because of bergdahl's ridiculous excuse to walk off that post makes it that much harder to accept. whatever you're doing to stay healthy... ...you might be missing something... ♪ ...your eyes. that's why there's ocuvite. it helps replenish nutrients your eyes can lose as you age. nourish your eyes to help keep them healthy. ocuvite. be good to your eyes. booking a flight doesn't have to be expensive. just go to priceline. it's the best place to book a flight a few days befor
