[applause] donna: i thought over the years with hillary clinton when she started the children's defense fund. yes, i marched and registered new voters for bernie sanders until my first obligation of the party chair. it was to make sure i went into conduct of the most exhaustive a review of our party. i went through everything i could find, and let me tell you, when i found things that were inconsistent with our values, i made sure we put aside and we got rid of them. every step along the way, i would call bernie, i would call hillary. i would report back to them. yes i'm grateful bernie and , hillary stood by us and since this party was hacked by a foreign, hostile military intelligence communication. they stood by us so we could get back to work for democrats across this country. when it comes to the staff of the democratic

donna brazil has spent decades and decades in democratic politics. there is a saying that somebody said, i don't know who, we are not as good as we are on our bad days and not as bad as we are on our worst days. i will take donna brazil on her worst days over most people on their best days. i think she has deep integrity and has been very important to the democratic party. she made a mistake, and she paid for it. she did not lose her job, but you know. politicshe anger in that the caller from wilmington theght up, the anger over last 10, 15 years, it is discouraging. look, i am part of it, too. i am angry with the donald trump world. i think anger makes people not as good of voters, not as good of citizens, husbands, wives, not good drivers. both sides trying to stoke anger on the other side is generally not a beneficial thing. sometimes i am guilty of it myself. abouti want to ask you joe biden. there is an article in the new york times today about him helping a candidate in a special election for a seat in the delaware state legislature, delaware s

stepping in there for donna brazile. he won 235 of the votes.by the way, just to give you a little background on this gentleman, he was considered the most liberal member of pram what's cabinet -- president obama's cabinet. remember that as he speaks there to the enthusiastic crowd at the dnc saying that he has a lot of work to do. he served as labor department secretary. he has ties to both obama and hillary clinton, so he made the short list for vice president. interesting to note there because, obviously, moving forward this weighs very haley moving into the next -- heavily moving into the next presidential election in 2020. appointing the deputy chair to his runner-up, keith ellison. but disappointment for the dnc, it's a critical one. why? it not only comes after a huge loss in november's presidential election, but democrats have actually as little actual power around the country as they have had in 90 years, meaning virtually no american voter has ever seen democrats so removed from controlling the nation's policies. so that is the very la

dnc staff, and they want to count them twice to to see if they are good, and any moment, when donna brazile, the interim chairwoman is going to be coming out the announce the results. many people think that tom perez has got it because he was so close, but keith ellison's team is insisting they have a chance on this, and they fell 15 votes short, and not far off themselves, and the field has been eliminated aside from the other candidates. they dropped out, and most of the votes were held by sally boynton brown who was the idaho party drirector, and maybe she can give keith ellison enough votes to win it, but it is going to be tight here, and we are waiting any minute, richard, to see what happens. >> where are the bargaining chips? where the convention will be? how well they work on the ground? back and forth? >> well, this is a unusual race, and you can see the entire voting population of it, so it is a one to one kind of situation, where there are a lot of horses traded and money is offered and visits from the high profile vips gets offered and that is what is going on here, and they are

originally they were handing out wireless devices but moments ago interim chair donna brazile announcedthat she wanted to go with the traditional paper ballots presumably out of an abundance of caution because for one thing she didn't want to have to rely on wi-fi connection and also a more importantly she she wanted to have a paper trial so that each name and signature of the voters could be verified. back to you, leland. >> wow, lots of news coming out from there inside the convention hall with jonathan, jonathan, as you so appearly explained, if nobody gets to 50%, they go to ballot number two, we will go back and check with you as the results come out. thank you, sir. now to elizabeth who is perhaps a slightly more united group than the democrats are here in atlanta. >> slightly more united but we still are getting a ton of energy, cpac is wrapping here today. the speaker is new epa chief scott pruitt and those attending the conference getting a chance to weigh in on the top conservative issues. fox news correspondent is live with more, hi, lori. >> it's always a hot topic and altho

dnc,rt of put behind the the unethical behavior of debbie wasserman schultz and donna brazil.ithecondly to come up inspiring candidates that really bring people out to vote. i think both of those contributed to the loss, which is why we are where we are in the democratic party. it takes inspiring candidates to really move on. host: who is inspiring you on the national level? caller: candidly at this point, very few people if anybody. fact there's a couple more on the republican side that are more inspiring than on the democrat side. they just don't seem to be surfacing at this point. the weekly standard is writing about the democrats. democratic attorney general's. democrats were decimated at nearly every level of government over the past six years. republicans controlled the house. they will do so for the foreseeable future. the party is looking at a very favorable senate map in 2018. democrats controlling just 31 of the 99 state legislative chambers. they had 22 state attorneys general, enough to gum up the works for president donald trump's agenda when congressional democra

even while donna brazil was trying to calm the crowd down and call for unity.he next big question for the democratic party. can they unite behind tom perez and form some sort of coalition that can be a true alternative to donald trump and the donald trump agenda? this is, of course, what democrats across the country are hoping for. there's obviously, a lot of enthusiasm and it looks like tom perez is getting ready to accept his party's nomination as the next democratic committee chairman. but i'll send is it back to yt . >> we'll take it live but as you said, ryan, you can't even think of this in terms of the names of two guys running, but tom perez, that is guy with a labor background. hillary big, hillary clinton supporter and someone who, you know, this may not be what republicans wanted to hear and sorry, ryan, stand by. we're going to live to tom perez speak ting there. he has just become the chairman of the democratic national committee. >> i would like to begin by making a motion. a motion i have discussed with a good friend and his name is keith ellison

it included an introduction from chair donna brazil. >> the candidates are ready. as i said earlier today, i want to thank everybody for hosting us.

we were told by donna brazil about 10 minutes ago that the vote result was imminent that could come within the next 5 or 10 minutes. she could come out at any moment to deliver the results. there's a sense it's down to the congressman from minnesota. i talked to two committee people who both cast votes. one for elson and one for perez. neither confident that they'll be able to pull through on the first ballot and if one doesn't win on the first ballot, that's when things get interesting so the candidates further down will drop off and there will be some horse trading in an attempt to come over the top. one of the things we need to keep an eye on is how this crowd responds to the winner. espn especially if it's not keith ellison. there may be more people that support tom perez, there are substantially more people in the back of the room who don't have votes but consider themselves democrats who support keith ellison. will they embrace a tom perez chairmanship? this will be a big clue because they represent a larger group of democrats from the progressive wing of the party that have been fru

but as donna brazile, his former share, announced that perez won last night in atlanta, angry supporters of ellison tried to shout her down. >> i want to talk about that, the perceived divisions, where we go from here with democratic strategist robert zimmerman, also a member of the democratic national committee. so robert, let's start right there. has the healing begun? what was the vibe that you got after that vote when you were in atlanta? >> of course there were some tensions, but as a democratic party, we're out of group therapy, the haagen-dazs is back in the freezer, and donald trump has really given us a renewed energy and focus. there were protests there, i think "the washington post" said nine, stood up and protested. but the ideals that bring us together. that's what's going to be the driving mission. our challenge, though, is to make sure the democratic party becomes relevant to the over 2 million protesters that took to the streets january 21st. and the hundreds of thousands that were standing up at airports to protest the muslim ban and protesting around the country to prot

. >> with seven candidates buying two replaced donna brazile, the leading contenders include tom perezwho enjoys strong support from the democratic party establishment. says he plans to support perez. >> this is a generally centrist country. mainly in the center, got to have a message that resonates across the board. >> the other front runner, minnesota congressman keith ellison, an early supporter of bernie sanders. but ellison has had to defend himself against accusations of anti-semitism because of his now severed ties with nation of islam leader and comments he allegedly made in graduate school. >> these are false allegations, and that is why i have 300 rabbis and jewish communities supporting me. >> with many dnc voters still uncommitted, the other candidates have a fighting chance. >> i like all of them. i have really narrowed it down to four, and i am intending to remain open to persuasion right up until the vote. >> political scientist saying that the young mayor there is a mother another candidate to watch. >> he points to successes in his party and state legislative races. he

. >> and interim chair donna brazile announced that. >> they have not had a chair for seven months so they need to have a party to get cranked up, and going in a hurry. >> one of the reasons i suspect they are going to paper ballots, because electronically, things are jacked up. >> well, in the original cyrilic. >> and at the same time, you want to make sure that the people don't have any suspicion that the process is rigged. with all of the mistrust built up from the general and the primary is and before that, you want to make sure that the people, and the bernie sanders' wing, if you want to characterize it like that, they are accommodated in that regard. also, people need to get over the feelings a little bit, and are regardless of the result, understand it is about winning elections. we are not electing a civil rights leaders, and democrats are trying to elect somebody good at winning election, and whether it is mr. ellison or mr. perez. >> and it is interesting that you say that the folks have to get over themselves, and what is interesting about jane klebb brought up in the resp

democratic nominee if it weren't for the crooked clintons who fixed the primaries with the help of donna braziled debbie wasserman schultz. this party is going off the rails right in front of our eyes, which is a bad thing for this country. we need a two-party system. not this party. david: david horowitz, we have to leave it at that thanks very much for coming in. appreciate it. melissa. melissa: america's depleted military. why top officials say budget constraint could make us less prepared for combat. >>> plus the war of words between president trump and senator john mccain over the deadly raid in yemen. we'll talk to lea gabrielle, former navy fighter pilot. that's next. david: new statements from top u.s. military officials suggesting suggesting that the america's military become more depleted and less ready to fight due to budget restraints and other hurdles. fox business's lea gabrielle former fighter pilot joins us with details. apparently it is pretty bad. >> the vice chiefs of services are saying, put in words of navy number two officers we're able to still put the first team on the fi

. >> christine quinn, the question is when the vote was come down and being announced by donna braziln front and ellison supporters in the back of the hall, and they were still hoping for ellison to win here. now it's been a couple of hours. is your sense that everybody really is together, or there's still some work to be done here? >> look, only a really stupid county gives up hope before the last vote is counted, and after the first ballot it was, you know, really pretty close, and so you got to hope until the very end. congress person ellison gave a powerful speech before the dnc where he really urge reasonable doubt all of his supporters, myself included, to come together, to unite, and make sure that we win in 2018, and also that we realize the crisis and attacks we've suffered in 30 days of this ridiculous presidency. . he made clear we don't have fight within ourselves. we don't have time to squabble or have hurt feelings or be disappointed children. we need to move on together. i have no doubt we're moving together. >> did the bernie sanders energy -- did they hear tom perez a

and finally i want to say that donna brazile is a good friend of mine, and she gave me many of the questions in advance. [laughter] so fire away. [laughter] and the answer to the first one is that the supreme court really is a crucial issue in this race, but if you don't get out there and vote to not get the supreme court that you want. >> yes. evidently. [laughter] in payback, your book about vietnam veterans, actually i'm going to start with something else, sorry spirit wait a second. >> i don't want you to come this is a question you don't know. the narrator of "primary colors" knew the beginning of a guy who is sort of beginning to attach himself to the presidential candidate jack stanton says, he's trying to make a decision about whether to keep following vicki says anyway, i was curious. that's a sentence that really struck me even though it's pretty plain speech. in comparison and in relation to your career as a journalist. what is a journalist curiosity come from? why do you, for instance, in payback which is what was going to start with, and payback you go back and talk to i think f

many supporters made their displeasure clear when donna brazile, the outgoing chair announced the results. >> little did they know that tom perez was about to announce that keith ellison was going to be his deputy chair. with the democrats in their weakest position in 100 years, the first job will be to unite the party and try to lead them out of the wilderness. mr. perez joins me now from atlanta. mr. chairman, congratulations. >> thank you, chuck. it's great to be with you. >> let me start with the fact that that was a pretty divided room, all intraparty elections can feel personal and feel petty, but the fact of the matter is you do have sanders supporters from the primary who were skeptical of the clinton wing of the party and see you as nothingmore as an extension of that, how do you unite this party without making it an anti-trump party as a way to unite it. >> i thought we had a great day yesterday, chuck, and deputy chair ellison and i, we were there together. we were united, and our unity is our greatest strength and frankly, our unity is donald trump's greatest nightmare. he's a
