with me is molly hemingway from county federalist." say it boils down to sexism and racism. >> there is no way to sugar coat this. it wasn't funny, it didn't intend to be. i see no indication it intended to be thought provoke it's racism and sexism where you prejudge people based on their sex and skin color for no ends. kennedy: mtv are not nearly as relevant as they were even 10 years ago. now they are doing something, it's the only way people can talk about them, and they have to pull it down within two days. this is the opposite of tolerance. it's the last thing this country needs. >> it struck me as almost like -- you saw the christians do the rally around the flag pole where they would gather and reinforce their own messages to each other? that's what this is it's not intended for white men or anyone outside the liberal echo chamber. if you repeat social justice war year things the's like being religious. kennedy: mtv has don't same thing tore different genders and races. they have done new year's resolutions for black women how w

wishes, ernest hemingway. it is not price quipped. also quipped. also it has a green cast. this makes it interesting because halfway through production they realize people cannot read the printing because of the green so they stop production and they made it all white in the background. consequently, this is called the first state of the dust jacket which is closer to the collector on his africa. commonplace books that if you had a book from thomas jefferson's library, the library of congress would be eager to buy it because they have his collection there. if you had a book signed by a major president, not in the 1950 on probably, on probably, but say you had a book by truman where he inscribed and said i appreciate what you did, that, even though the book otherwise would be just another collectible item, the connection with association copy would transform it. now here's a nice addition it's not a first but it has interesting aspects to it. the first thing, it has the photograph taken by jack london and he sa

molly hemingway is senior editor. what kind of changes do you think are coming? >> right. when we've heard from transition officials that they might be willing to shake up what's happening in the briefings, people get nervous. and they haven't been specific about what the changes right be. i'm optimistic about the possibility of change. these daily press briefings have become opportunities of grand standing on both side. you have the reporters who ask questions designed to make for a good hit on their television show and you have the press secretary dripping with disdain for the question. we get very little information and these things could use a freshening up or a change. i don't if that's more press briefings, different people asking the questions, maybe having them daily but not on camera. there are lots of things that i hope both sides could look at for how to improve the process of getting information. >> the in-coming white house press secretary did suggest that last night. saying maybe not everything is on camera. maybe we bring more people into the process. it's h

as hemingway said you can only call yourself a writer when you're paid for it.children's magazine who was always asking for contributions, and my mother liked this story and sent it to them. we were not looking for money, but i got ten shillings and sixpence. not bad for a ten—year—old! and sixpence. not bad for a ten-year-old! you find the business of writing, of taking a character and let that character develop and putting characters in different situations, you seem to just find that to be the stuff of life. someone said, how do you explain fiction? we know that nonfiction is usually history or biographies autobiography, how would you describe fiction, barbara? i said autobiography, how would you describe fiction, barbara? isaid it isa describe fiction, barbara? isaid it is a monumental lie that has to have the absolute ring of truth if it is going to succeed. and it is my research, and when you read about wa i’s research, and when you read about wars and events of the period, that gives it that authenticity, and then i have got to invent characters and lives

molly hemingway joining us. thank you. eric: heather, we will have much more on u.s.licy and israel and the pending action we're told that the u.s. will take against russia for the election hacking. we'll be joined by senators john mccain and lindsey graham about 20 minutes from now. they're traveling in the baltic states and joining us live from latvia. heather: very interesting to hear from them. left-wing activists launching another action to try to stop president trump taking office. >> there is talk about mass demonstrations during the inauguration in washington. talking about storming, that is a word they use, the offers in capitol hill. doctor offices in capitol hill. p eric: we have an update on that story yesterday. 18 agers are facing charges after a fight that broke out in a mall in illinois. [screaming] man, oh, man, was there mayhem when about 1000 kids showed up at the fox valley mall in aurora. it got so violent at one point police had to evacuate shoppers for a brief time. a police officer and a mall security guard were injured. police are now investig

this is the ernest hemingway old man and a see. i thought a dozen copies, some in pristine condition and some of lush condition. this is a true first it's in poor condition. recently don't treat it as collectible. first thing, it's not price script. modern first additions any luck that is not price script is considered superior to one that is price script. being price script may often be enough to disqualify it in a collectible item. it had the previous owners name which is a negative. the other way to know a first edition of the old man in the seat has a ba in the steel and if the blue cast and that's typical and sometimes you will see the stamp winner of the noble prize and it's always on later additions. the fact is you look at the condition of the book also also, no-space\no space collectors should be buying this book except a reading copy to use it as a teaching example. we hate to have a clear but it does help us explain some things about collecting. it was most marvelous man in it. come right before charlemagne becomes emper

that brings us to look at who is talking and this morning molly hemingway senior editor is slamming thebama administration saying if the u.s. wanted to stop the u.n. deal they could have. >> the u.s. had every incentive to keep this from happening and they had the ability to keep it from happening. whether there's this other information is kind of irrelevant. we know the u.s. wanted it to happen because they allowed it to happen. this causes huge problems for all sorts of relations with israel. it goes against u.s. policy. we have never before said settlements are illegal as this policy does. it makes things difficult going forward. we have gotten 25 years of confessions with israel on the condition we would never allow something like this to happen. this is a major mistake by the obama administration. >> key points. they want it to hap opinion they allowed it to happen. >> digging in and gearing up to battle president trump's agenda starting now. threatening to block mr. trump's cabinet picks until they hand over excessive financial information and background checks. waters flat out re

his daughter and sally and james hemingway eventually learned how to speak it pretty well. he was older when he goes to france. he's in his 40s in language is not easily acquired at that time. , my favorite story of that time. isn't going to a chess club in paris and then getting beaten easily, handedly by people. he doesn't go back and we think that's interesting because my husband to play chess competitive civilly says the only way to get better is to play with people who are better than your. and it's an interesting thing that he did not, he loved to play chess but he did not want to do it. he didn't love it enough to get beat repeatedly. he's a very thin-skinned person. >> is very anxious. >> you identify with that. [laughter] i'm a white guy at heart. [laughter] when he is in france, look at its most remarkable to us i think beyond the initial culture shock and his need to create a little virginia at home. he needs the comfort zone. it is the danger he feels that works in french society to impressionable young people that he can barely resist the temp tatian some cell.

molly hemingway, senior editor at "the federalist." and julie. mo molly, i'm rather surprised.y embrace this crazy town scheme and the electors that what's always a formality should basically go rogue. >> it really shows it. this is not just a problem at the "new york post" but "new york times." not a single one is supportive. you see people taking hold that doesn't deserve a lot of coverage. it's not just the columnists. the lead page is all about the electoral college. nobody really thinks there's going to be a chance that it's going to go away. the story admits that, so why are you covering itsome. >> if hillary clinton had won a close election, you gould ins e insane. >> if you think about what the electoral college is there for, it's literally in mane. it means that it can potentially happen. you have the popular vote regip yant who would win. >> and wouldn't this take away and invalidate those? >> i'm not disputing what you roy soefr. the mechanism is there. why not cover it. otherwise, why have it. let's go with the popular vote. >> if it is such a crack pot scheme, why

this is ernest hemingway's "old man in the sea." this is a poor condition.n modern first editions, any isk that is not price script ed is considered superior. it has the previous owner's name, which is an negative. how you know a first edition of sea," yound the the look at the condition and no serious collector should be buying this book as a -- except as a reading copy. we use this as a teaching example. it helps us explain some things about collecting. he was the most marvelous period rightin the before charlemagne becomes roman emperor. you see people exchanging thoughts for soundbites. consequently, we love the long call and we love books. are $25, $30 that and $15. and we have books that are in the thousands. we find the right person for the right book or i should say they find it. if a book is when it is 50 or 200 years old or not in superb condition, it is not likely to be sellable. being old is not a selling point. secondly, we want a book of significant. whether it is a 16th-century work that was read by people in that era or a 19th-century work th

senior editor molly hemingway, david wall and julie roginsky going us now. good to see you on this fine friday evening. to that point i want to play a little something that congressman emanuel cleaver had to say. this is coming from a democrat and then i'll have your response. >> at the present time i got to say we had no strategy, we have no plan. but at least we have some proven leadership that can you know take us into what's going to be a new era. >> julie, okay. no strategy, no plan. he does say proven leadership. they did reflect nancy polocy. a lot of people, including democrats rolled their eyes saying that just means they didn't get what happened in the election. >> on the one hand congressman cleaver saying we don't have a plan or a strategy. he may be right about that. if that's true, that makes me incredibly fearful. but then he's saying we have to stick with the people that don't have a plan or a strategy. if you don't have a plan or a strategy, got to change the general on the field. and nancy pelosi served for a long time with distinction. if

joining us now is molly hemingway and nomiki konst. good to see you both.t this and talked about some of the specific issues you have. who is going to fact check the fact checker. some of these fact checkers have a demonstrable bent one way or the other. >> facebook is putting together a panel of people to police and sensor speech that they determine is fact. plit fact at first had a good reputati reputation. in recent years they've turned out to really lose the trust of a lot of people. six times they rated president obama's claim that if you liked your health care claim you could keep it true while he was running for election. and then the next year they rated it their lie of the year. hillary clinton, they rated half true that she didn't send or receive confidential information. that's not true at all. even when director comey came out and said she had, they didn't change their rating. they don't have a lot of trust with the people to litigate this. >> how it's going to work is it's going to flag a story that the facebook internals have figured out is fa

and shorter than a novel and if -- we grew up learning about great authors reading novellas like hemingway's old man and the sea, and a number of others lots of novellas out there we learned to enjoy or learn about great writers. we are excited about this endeavor. all the details about how the process works and how all of that will be the website on january 1st and we invite all writers to submit your work. [applause] >> i know you came to listen to clydette de groot and listen to the other guy first. we are thrilled trevor noah is with us. [applause] >> as most of you know he was born and raised in south africa where he honed his skills as a television host, actor and comedian and moved to the us in 2011. in 2015 he received what i think is the greatest acknowledgment of anybody in his industry, john stuart him to take over the daily show. [applause] >> and backstage, telling trevor about what an honor that was and he said everybody took a job after john stuart, i was that idiot. the latest issue of vanity fair, he said his greatest heroes are his mother and all single mothers. [applause]

i'm joined by kristen soltis-anderson, and molly hemingway, senior editor at "the federalist."sten, i will start with you first. election scandals, the themes that dominated 2016, what did we see? >> in 2016 people really started tweeting about the election after the conventions happened, and it was the issue of wikileaks, the john podesta e-mails, the dnc e-mails, and this just drip, drip, drip of things that were revealed about hillary clinton and her team and their internal discussions that really became a dominant theme in this election. >> yeah, i mean it is amazing. we are looking at a chart, kristen, of this data, and the big blue line at the top is wikileaks' hacking. and clinton's email came in second but you can see the domination of those election scandals and gaps clearly. >> yeah. there were other debates, you know, things like trump university, these moments where, you know, judge curiel, things that were controversy where donald trump took a lot of heat. we don't find the twitter chatter about those issues had spread very far beyond sort of beltway elites, inside

with us still molly hemingway, and ryan lizza, and cnn correspondent dana bash. molly, start with you. i confess, others, i want to go back and take that out, put this one in. hit me with your best shot. >> agree with some of yours. scalia's death, huge for people. galvanized to get behind trump, thought the stakes were so high. launched a strategy working to keep republicans together along the ticket. hillary clinton's e-mail scandal number two. not just because she did a bad job answering questions but confirmed suspicions about her bad judgment, proximity in the scandal and wasn't replaced by anything else. you don't remember her talking what she would do in terms of foreign, economic policy. dominated her entire campaign. of course, trump winning is definitely the big one, and not just winning but reshaping the republican party as he did it. really brought in total different views on foreign and trade policy, reshaping conservatism. remains to be seen how much real reshape the republican party but some realignment. that's fascinating. >> and political norms v

steve haze, editor of the weekly standard, karen tumeltie for "the washington post," molly hemingway, the federalist and charles krauthammer. welcome to you all. steve, what do you make of this? my in box was filled up with reaction from capitol hill. both sides of the aisle, mostly from republicans saying, we're glad to see it. why are we eight years in the presidency and now getting these? >> it's a good question. first i think we should make a point of clarification. this was not a hack of our electoral system. >> correct. no votes were hacked. >> senior administration officials on the white house call today said that, acknowledged that, made that clear. russia did not hack the voting system. having said that, what the white house tried to say was a series of bad behavior over years from russia both with respect to diplomatic activities and the this hacking of democratic entities led them to do this. it's not a very convincing turn for president obama to present himself as an russia. this is the president who accommodated russia, i would argue, for 7 1/2 years, starting with the re

jenna goldburg, molly hemingway, charles lane, and charles krauthammer. to anyone who thought it was going to be a quiet holiday week of news, it's not the case. what do you make of this? what ambassador power said is this doesn't diminish the u.s. commitment to the security of israel. that's not how israel is interpreting this. >> that's not how any observer is interepreting this. this is like me punching you in the face and saying i'm not pushing you in the face. of course this didminishing america's support for israel. this is to no productive end. we spent eight years listen to supporters of israels insist that obama is unparalleled in his support for israel. he is going out the door flipping a middle finger to israel for no apparent purpose. if you listen to ben rhodes, you will listen in vain for an answer. this reveals that all along the rhetoric and posturinger ing to is they have always thought this was about the settlement. this is a way -- they held off doing this earlier because they knew it would hurt hillary clinton. now that hillary is gone

. >> jimmy buffett is coming into the studio, i don't quote hemingway often saying nobody lives life i would add hemingway. >> before we get to jimmie, this morning's headlines. time for the news today. >> we begin with a winter wallop hitting most of the country. the snow is still falling, clouds are working overtime. this is going to be a miserable morning commute for millions. a scary scene in detroit as the plane skid off a snow covered runway. 70 passengers on board aircraft struggled to break, sliding onto the grass. only adding to the chaos across midwest airport. more than 1500 flights canceled, leaving travelers scrambling. >> call before you head to the airport. >> reporter: the midwest hamm hammered with more than a foot of snow falling in parts of michigan. at lambeau field in wisconsin, crews feverishly cleared the field for the green bay packers game. in buffalo, the bills and pittsburgh steelers had to play in the snow. it wasn't a snow in parts of the pacific northwest. ice had traffic at a standstill. >> i've been driving a truck for 21 years. this is one of the wors

mollie hemingway, senior editor at the federalist. heidi and glen rush from politico.len, i know people don't care too much about the press. >> yes. >> and our needs and our wants and what we think we do -- >> oh, we have needs! so does everybody else, jake. >> i want to ask you one thing and then we can move on. listen to what president-elect's incoming chief of staff, reince priebus, had to say about possible changes to the press operation in the administration. >> i think that it's important that we look at all of those traditions that are great but quite frankly, as you know, don't really make news and are just -- >> no. it's horrible. >> -- boring episodes. even looking at things like the daily, you know, the daily white house briefing from the press secretary. i mean, there's a lot of different ways that things can be done. >> i will say, as a former white house correspondent, i was there during the first term of the obama administration. i found it an incredibly important way to bring issues that were uncomfortable for the administration to light and force them

jenna goldburg, molly hemingway, charles lane, and charles krauthammer. to anyone who thought it was going to be a quiet holiday week of news, it's not the case. what do you make of this? what ambassador power said is this doesn't diminish the u.s. commitment to the security of israel. that's not how israel is interpreting this. >> that's not how any observer is interepreting this. this is like me punching you in the face and saying i'm not pushing you in the face. of course this didminishing america's support for israel. this is to no productive end. we spent eight years listen to supporters of israels insist that obama is unparalleled in his support for israel. he is going out the door flipping a middle finger to israel for no apparent purpose. if you listen to ben rhodes, you will listen in vain for an answer. this reveals that all along the rhetoric and posturinger ing to is they have always thought this was about the settlement. this is a way -- they held off doing this earlier because they knew it would hurt hillary clinton. now that hillary is gone

joining me now, molly hemingway, jim rudenburg and david zeer wick. great to have you here.n esteemed panel. if you don't follow media circles, you can do no better than this panel right here. this is great. let's pick up, jim, on where that left off, about the fact that you had people openly laughing at him, yes he created a lot of controversy but was there an unwillingness in much of the media to entertain the notion he could win? >> i think it was. and it became self fulfilling. and some of it was republican politics. most are establishment for mainstream reporters with saying this couldn't happen. they were looking at the polls. it was a bubbleitis. even when it led them astray within they didn't learn the lesson. >> why didn't they understand what was happening? >> i think they would figure it out after the primaries, like okay, they got the nomination. we missed this. somehow, maybe it was the polling, maybe it was the all mighty data that took over. sure there's some bias in the mix. okay, he can't win the general election. it is the failure to learn from mistakes whi

molly hemingway, senior editor for the federalist. i mean, come on.eld a press conference. i don't know what this whole thing is about. >> there has been a lack of press conferences. at the same time, the media need to focus on making sure they're getting information from the incoming administration. there are many ways you can get information. one of them is press conferences. the reason why press conferences are important is because reporters can work together to pursue a line of questioning that's different from the agenda that the politician wants to set. and currently the trump, incoming trump administration is very good about deciding what they want to talk about and when they want to talk about and of course reporters want to find a way around that. >> what do you think about this whole thing that the trump team is arguing that the intelligence community needs to come forward and publicly and make their case about the russian hacking. >> they're saying prove it, put it out there which people in the intelligence community would have problems doi

molly hemingway senior editor at the federalist. and michael tamassy columnist for the daily beast. he tweeted we did it. thank you for all of my great supporters. we just officially won the election. parentheses despite all the distorted and inaccurate media. so -- >> it has worked for him so far. but in the sense of coverage of the story, some of it, it has been a shocking year with all kinds of surprises, so we had to cover it some. >> some? but maybe too much. i want to come back to the coverage but i want on this tweet now. trump's advisers believe, and he believes, that he is battling back, still, this post election period against coverage that is consistently negative. >> well, the media have far worse approval ratings than even donald trump does. we always talk about donald trump's bad approval ratings. media have far worse. and this is a great example of why. i mean, they hyped that hillary was going to win the election. she didn't. they hyped the recount efforts. that went nowhere. they hyped this electoral college story in a way that was very bizarre, and it didn't work o

when you think of some -- we grew up learning about great authors reading novellas like hemingway's old man and the sea and there are lots of other novellas out there and learned to enjoy and about great writers. so we're really excited about this endeavor. all the detail about the prizes, how the submission process works will be up on the miami book fair on january 1. most of all we invite all writers to submit your work. thank you.

[cheers and applause] as most of you know he was born and raised in south africa where he honed his skills as a television host an actor and comedian and he moved to the u.s. in 2011. in 2015, he received, what i think is the greatest acknowledgement of anybody in his industry. jon stewart selected him to take over "the daily show." [applause] and backstage i was telling trevor about what a great honor i thought that was. he said, look, he said, anybody who took over a job after jon stewart is an idiot. [laugh

we arrived in paris, and it is when fitzgerald was there and hemingway and the most kind of glamorouse in paris. she was so beautiful. i absolutely worshipped her beauty and i wanted to be close to her and to belong to her. and she had a twin sister, my aunt telma and they were so identical that i could not tell the difference when i walked into a room. i remember her going out in the evening beautifully dressed and seeing her going down the hallway kind of thing. >> the dazzling pageant of feathers as ms. gloria va vanderbilt arrives in her chariot known as the sun goddess and they danced until dawn. >> she wanted to have a good time. she was just a baby, you know. you know, she said to me once when i was older, and she said, you know, when you were a baby you were so little, i could not bear to pick you up, because i thought that i might hurt you. and you know, we just never got together so to speak. the exampleple, she rented a house in caan and she rented another house where i stayed with dodo. >> and my mom's life revolved around her nurse she called dodo and her grandmother morg

trump has plenty of fan, one recently describing him as the ernest hemingway of 140 characters.only follows 42 contracts, you two among them, but among them are trump properties, trump family members. >> what do you cover, what don't you cover, what tweets do you let pass by, especially if he's making things up, talking about 2.5 million illegal votes. i guess that's a real problem for a lot of people in media, trying to figure out exactly how to sort through this, what to report on and what to ignore. >> obviously you have to fact check when there's facts that are inaccurate. the guy is soon to be inaugurated with president. we listen when he speaks and have to communicate that. he's used that pretty effectively. >> what are your girls names? >> ava and emma. >> cute! adorable. >> that's awesome. >> he doesn't expect that. he's still asleep. let's bring in someone speaking of still being asleep, kasie hunt -- >> i've actually been awake for a long time. >> that's what i mean. way too early -- what time is it now? first look. kasie anchored it this morning. >> did you a great jo
