much like hillary clinton.'s interesting and ironic, that a billionaire who is born with a silver spoon in his mouth, in the city, managed to somehow connect with the rust belt of this country, people who -- bear a lot more in common with hillary than donald trump. >> how did he do it? >> i really don't know. i think that maybe he -- you know, he made -- look, i think that there are a lot of people in the rust belt and in the middle of this country who are left out, and feel it, and want to be seen and heard. and somehow he managed to make them feel scene. and apparently the other party did not. so -- >> how does the democratic party -- you're a political guy. how does the democratic party get back to bobby kennedy, you have a candidate that appeals to the working class and also the african-americans and mexican americans. he was able to do that. how can you do that again? democrats can't do that any more. why not? what are they going to do to fix that problem? >> i don't know, but i think they have to start by

and that's how hillary approached this.ld trump would approach this as well. and that -- and he was on that list because he deserved to be on that list and he was considered fully along with over 30 other people. but at the end of the day, she felt like tim kaine would represent her views and values if god forbid he had to become president that he had the background and preparation to do the job. but also that that partnership and that chemistry was the right one. >> do you think that bernie sanders might have made it a tougher race? >> yes. and bernie sanders -- i'd also like to publicly thank bernie sanders for his affect on our campaign because he softened up hillary clinton. he won 22 states in 13 million voters, and that ain't nothing. >> and worked hard to deliver them for hillary clinton i will add. >> he did, but i was at the same convention in philadelphia, the democratic convention, the fact is his supporters were protesting her. he was in the hall being a soldier, but his supporters were not. and you saw on elect

it was when hillary clinton referred to the basket of deplorables.ade that comment on september 9th. did you realize at that time that that comment that she made was as potentially damaging as this one study by somebody who worked for our campaign says it was? >> first of all, hillary apologized right away after that and said that she misspoke and that she regretted the comment. that's something that donald trump wouldn't do -- >> she didn't say that. she said she regretted putting a number on it. >> she regretted her choice of words, but donald trump never apologized. >> we're talking about hillary clinton right now. >> sure. >> that's what they do. >> you both do it. >> yes, but we won. >> true. >> no, but i think, look, you're talking about one instance where hillary clinton said one thing. she immediately explains that she regretted -- >> you don't think it had an affect -- >> she regretted getting caught. let's be honest here. >> it definitely could have alienated some voters. that's why she got out there right away. i was proud the day after th

what do you think about hillary clint clinton?ernie going to do to help the world out? >> free stuff. >> fre stuff is good, right? >> yeah, free stuff is good. >> what about bernie do you think is good? >> he's laid back. >> are you sure you're not thinking of larry david from "sat kay night live"? >> he would be good too. >> i want a democrat to win. >> when you start paying taxes you're not going to be a democrat anymore. >> can i have a moment to myself, please? ♪ >> what's the most important issue facing america right now? >> immigrants. >> the taxes. >> terrorists. >> what are we going to do to defeat the terrorists? >> i have no idea. >> neither does obama. what do you think the most pressing issue is for the country right now. >> criminals. >> where are you from? >> de blasio. >> what's your favorite show on fox news. >> ummm -- >> the o'reilly factor. >> yes. >> whose world is this. watters world. >> i know, ed. life isn't always fair. >> you guys know who i am. >> watters. >> you're watters and this is your world. >> that

you know hillary clinton lost the election. you know president, the first lady with all respect to her, she came out and said he was not proud to be an american when he was elected -- >> she said for the first time in my adult life i'm proud of my country. >> so she wasn't proud. i'm proud of my country that we're able to take the people's vote, the majority of the country voted someone for change. >> she's living in a bubble. 13 million more americans on food stamps, 8 million more in poverty. michelle, your husband didn't get the job done. >> i want a government that really drains the swamp. >> you want to come work for me in new york. >> i want a government that defunds sanctuary cities. i want a government that really builds the wall. i want a government that has real borders. >> stay right where you are. we're coming back with both of you. we've got an important story out of california, mother of four missing. police charged her illegal imgrant husband for possible murder and now are asking for the public's help. we'll tal

no, there's not, maybe undercounted for hillary.y matter because it pore tends the enthusiasm for donald trump. we're the ones with the message turning these counties around president obama carried price with over 50% of the vote. we switched 200 counties and we did that with messages that a matter people. he's the guy that talked about veterans and defeated terrorism. we were mocked and ignored. look at the headlines two weeks out everywhere. the talk on networks like this, we were mpletely dismissed. secretary clinton wasn't even mentioning donald trump's name most of the time. >> joe, let me turn to you. she brought up this. it seems we gathered together all the different reasons you and others have given to hillary clinton's defeat. james comey, third party candidates, sexism, young voters, media, obamacare prem m premiums, bernie sanders, health rum rumors. what wasn't on there what kellyanne brought up, hillary clinton, does she accept responsibility on her own. >> reality is this was a strong campaign. kellyanne said they had

they tried to get hillary clinton open up as donald trump began to blow up in a good way and hillaryon would be shrinking her circle, not wanting to do "the view" and other shows like this one. because of that they blame her. tonight there's a christmas party at the plaza, she will be there. maybe there will be a tension. showing a big party and, you know, what we're not invited. >> why do they blame her. it is hillary's decision, not huma's as to what hillary does. >> as you can see, nobody takes responsibility at the hillary clinton camp. >> now they're saying abedin is seeking to review the search warrant. she is gives that push back on the investigation into weiner. trump fans are pushing for a boycott of the movie over rumored anti-trump scenes. >> evidently the claim by one of the trump guys, citizens for trump said he read on the tweet, one of the coauthors tweeted out he has indicated he is changing the ending because of donald trump's victory. but he says it is absolutely not true, but the big dump trump movement started, started to get steam. disney pushes back and say, i'm

we heard from hillary clinton. apparently last night according to the "new york times" talking to donors saying this was an attempt to undermine our democracy. here's a little more of what the president said when he did an interview with npr. take a listen. >> i think there is no doubt that when any foreign government tries to impact the integrity of our elections that we need to take action. and we will at a time and place of our choosing. some of it may be explicit. and publicized. some of it may not be. >> already there's been criticism about why something wasn't done sooner. there was talk about executive actions before the election. there was concern obviously within the white house that it would be seen as somehow trying to influence the outcome of the election. so now essentially the president feels that the pressure is on. he knows the questions are being asked on both sides of the aisle. we heard an escalation at the podium when josh earnest talked about this yesterday. he said clearly in an escalation aga

hillary clinton also speaking out about the russian attacks. she's now suggesting that putin ordered cyber attacks against her campaign and the democratic national committee because he has a personal grudge against her. we'll guess a republican response from marcia blackburn, and our correspond ens and analysts are standing by as we bring you full coverage of today's top stories. first to our white house correspondent michelle kosinski. you were there at the president's news conference. there were a lot of questions about russian hacking. >> reporter: this was abhour and a half long news conference focused on the hacking, russian influence on the election. you could almost picture vladimir putin watching this and being very pleased with the turmoil he's been able to cause. you're right, the president said it without saying it, making it very clear, though, that he does believe that putin himself had a direct role in all of this. the president defended his administration's actions, defended the fbi, when asked if this was a free and fair electio

bill and hillary were guests at trump's third wedding to melania. then came an election where donald trump attacked hillary clinton as crooked, dishonest, unstable, unhinged, a criminal, a nasty woman and, oh, yeah, the devil. he paraded out a series of women who accused bill clinton of abuse. yesterday it was announced that bill clinton and donald trump spoke by phone. clinton was surprised that trump acted cordial on the call like it was 15 years ago. for clinton, raw feelings remain. in reference to trump he recently told a local newspaper in westchester county with the he doesn't know much, one thing he does know is how to get angry white men to vote for him." this morning trump did what trump does, he hit back heating -- bill clinton stated i called him after the election. wrong. he called me after the elections. he doesn't know much, especially how to get people, even with an unlimited budget, out to vote on vital swing states and more. later today, clinton conceded he was the one to call trump after the election not the other way around. the

president obama and hillary, they need to stop whining. hillary clinton did the same thing.emember this before the election? >>> that's horrifying. you know, every time donald thinks things are not going in his direction he claims whatever it is is rigged against him. >> now, make no mistake, by doing that he is threatening our democracy. >>> hillary, stop whining and complaining. listen to your own words, your own criticism, because what you said and what the left is doing is you're advancing a false conspiracy theory as to why you lost. you can't accept responsibility. it is also time for hillary to stop making it all about her. now, for decades she has been playing that same victim card, the same conspiracies, blaming all of her troubles, all of her many scandals on someone or something else. remember back in the '90s when hillary tried to blame the so-called vast right wing conspiracies, all about bill's misconduct. take a look. >> the great story here for anyone willing to find it and write about it and explain it is the vast right wing conspiracy that has been conspire

he softened up hillary clinton. i was at the same convention in philadelphia and the fact is, his supporters were still out there protesting her. he was in the hall being a dutiful democratic convention soldier but his supporters were not. and you saw on election day, you read the polls and so many of on election day were upset by the way he was treated and their views were never fully into theed clinton-kaine campaign. i assume her choice of tim kaine had to do something with virginia and something with not being overshadowed. he was not effective in the end, at the beginning and certainly not the fight's presidential debate. he interrupted the female moderator about 36 times. someone -- i had worked with mike pence for over 10 years. he has been in congress for 12 years, 10 of which he sat on the foreign affairs committee. a very effective governor of indiana. we'll only thought if we were going to bust that blue ball, it would be with a running mate who our himself with the concerns of the working-class voters. j

>> hillary was going to be a coronation. she served champagne on her plane election day morning and fireworks ready for that night and special confetti in the shape of glass chards getting ready to be dropped. this was it. they had transition team who had a building in washington who could hold a thoand people with computers and everything else all set up for transition team. let's be honest i was surprised that trump won. i'm thrill that had he won, i voted for him and i would vote for him again. trish: you were surprised and all the polls said one thing. >> that's my point. hillary thought she was going to waltz in. when she used deplorable, a number of people that followed trump was deplorable people, my opinion and my opinion alone, i don't think hillary clinton has respect for any human beings, there's arrogance there and the american people caught it, the american people felt it and the american people responded accordingly. i think she's an elitist of highest order, grade school, yale law school, secretary of state, m

hillary clinton officially has given her support. hillary is in hook, line and sinker. i almost said here, with you that's not true. can she make a comeback or is this all a big waste of time and money. let's ask the ever brilliant chris stirewalt. chris, welcome to the show. hillary clinton is lists on this legal document as an intor d onn intervenor, what does that mean? >> because jill stein raised money from people to conduct recount. then hillary clinton's lawyer says if there is going to be a recount anyway we want a seat at at table to see it's carried out in a way that we think represents our interests best. it's like you are going in on i- going in on pizza. well i'm going to toss in $5 because i want sausage. kennedy: jill stein's cam is calling manual voting the gold standard. >> the idea of of what you get from a manual recount is human beings inspect the ballots and look at them. kennedy: it sounds like it will take a lot of time. >> it will, but jill stein raised the money and it's thank. if they want to proceed, that's fine. the deal is this. they have to

it was the same people who predicted a corenation for hillary clinton. donald trump's bringing change like they've never seen before. they don't get it. they don't understand the frustrations and concerns that average middle americans feel right now, that they're living paycheck to paycheck, that their health care costs are going up, that the government's unresponsive and doesn't take care of the veterans that have served this nation. donald trump gets it in a way that nobody's gotten it before and he's going to get things done in an way no one'ser gotten them before. i think it scares them. they've been used to coming in, republican or democrat, cozying up to the elites, sort of being able to go to their cocktail parties. that's not what donald trump wants. he wants to come in and make this country better. he wants every american to have a better life. that's something that scares the people who are used to living off washington business as usual. >> as hollywood and the new york elites, a lot of the east coast elites i should say, you know, take out th

why did they only complain after hillary lost? and did president obama admit hillary was right by saying this? >> i think there is no doubt that when any foreign government tries to impact the integrity of our elections, that we need to make action, and we will. >> i'm eric bolling, welcome to cashin. now we'll start with you, should the obama administration have already taken action? and by the way, we're 34, 35 days out until donald trump takes over, should they take action now? >> they should have taken action, and that's why i think there's this viewpoint that seems to be largely political. by and large, you look at the messengers who are pushing this narrative that the russians tipped the election in favor of donald trump, they really lack credibility. if either nancy pelosi's daughter who's pushing this message from the electors to hillary clinton's campaigns who were really concerned over donald trump's comments about election fraud, she criticized him during the election. and already hillary clinton's claims that the e-mai

those people are hillary and bill clinton. you can't blame hillary for getting sick and broken after falling from such great heights. every expert in the world told her she would easily win the presidency. it wasn't just news week who constantly shouted her she-win. frank thrunts tweeted on election night quote hillary clinton will be the next president of the united states." no, frank, no she won't. frank wasn't alone in his wishful thinking. the new york sometimes upshot showed her with an 85% chance of winning. larry sabato's crystal ball pegged her at 322. and this was:00 p.m. election -- this was 9:00 p.m. election night. it wasn't just the buildup to the big night. the washw post predicted smart white women would be so grossed out by donald trump they would usher in the first female president. one writer called the fallout an apocalyptic election scenario. columnist dana milbeck wrote, i'm so certain he won't win the nomination that i'll eat my words if he does. and he did. dana and his lady name gobbled the newsprint ri

i'm tim kaine, i'm not going to ask hillary clinton a question. [ light laughter ] but hillary herselfd to confirm the authenticity of the documents when she was asked in the debate about her comments on having both a public and private position. and it gave trump an opportunity to jump in. >> as i recall, that was something i said about abraham lincoln after having seen the wonderful steven spielberg movie called "lincoln." >> she lied. now she's blaming the lie on the [ light laughter ] >> seth: who says the late, great abraham lincoln? [ laughter and applause ] trump talks about lincoln like he was a hall of fame pitcher for the brooklyn dodgers. and lincoln throws one inside, he's keeping them honest. [ light laughter ] but it turns out hillary really was telling the truth, because in the actual transcript of that speech she says, "if you saw the spielberg movie 'lincoln' and how he was maneuvering and working to get the 13th amendment passed politics is like sausage being made, we usually end up where we need to be but if people are watching, then people get a little nervous to sa

i thought the trump people, or the hillary people accused the media of not being for hillary. i'm sorry, assuming hillary was going to win and being tougher on her than trump. this is kind of odd. >> totally mixed up. i also think in the past the media, i know, having been at a lot of these, is kind of a passive observer. we weren't the story in the past. but i gather here both at these events and the dinner the night before, the media coverage and where the media stood on this became one of the central issues of this whole debrief, which is fascinating. >> and there were no defenders of the dia. democrats thought that the pss had been unfairly harsh on hillary clinton and too soft on donald trump. and the trump people felt that the media never took trump seriously, didn't give him a fair shake. treated him in a dismissive way. and you know, the clinton people haven't come to terms with her loss. the trump people did not play the traditional role of gracious winners. neither of them had gotten off their campaign stances, even though the election is over. >> is this because the

hillary clinton, democratic states in blue. and tree key states. pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin. according to the founder and the u.s. constitution, the electorates slal meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for president and vice president, one of whom should not be an inhabitat. they should name the person voted for as president. and the person voted for as vice president. and should list the persons voted for as president and all persons voted for as vice-president and a number of votes for each. and they shall sign and certify by the government of the united states and directed by the senate. taking place in early january. joining us from the newsroom. politico steven shepherd. thank you for being was. >> good to be here, steve. >> put this into context. it's required by the constitution, we saw the process unfold in many state capitals. some predicted surprises. were there any? >> not really. donald trump won 306 electoral votes in that map that you just showed. and you mentioned michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin. the though

hillary clinton was treated unfairly all the time by the media. there were a total different set of rules. she really believes there are a different set of rules for hillary clinton. >> nicolle, having gotten to know you and the rest of our family on television, i think we've been surprised at how much at your level the professionals know and like each other. you guys are essentially all friends, and i know you talked to jenpaulmary tonight. >> i did, and we had a version of that conversation. did you ever think she would be defeated by a man who boasted about grabbing a woman in the genitals? it's pretty base, right? we talked about hidden stuff in the end, the hidden hillary vote, the hidden trump vote. i think there is hidden sexism. it is rampant. the first woman candidate from either party was defeated by someone who bragged about being a sexual aggressor, a sexual predator. i don't want to dance around the words. and he is someone who white supremacists are excited about. those are cold, hard facts. what he said today is really important. he

hillary clinton did not visit wisconsin once. that blew not because of the berlin wall but because of hillary clinton's own campaign tactics. and i would say in fact democrats are proving donald trump's point, which is that the elites have been in charge. the elites are trying to now drive the narrative, drive the way that we consider our president. and donald trump he went to the people, he went to the rust belt, he got those votes. >> remember the criticisms you're wasting your time. >> also do you remember on november 7th we were told if donald trump lost and did not accept a peaceful transfer of power that this would be undermining democracy? well, now look who's doing it? >> adam, i want to go something charlie and i were talking about this money theme, wasting money, companies did this, ignore results or blame it on weather or whatever, there'd be hell to pay, but hillary clinton herself saying comey did it, the russian stuff did it. reed blaming comey and a whole sort of other things, i think they threw in a lunar eclipse

but personally i'm just so sick of everybody but hillary being thrown under the bus for hillary's demise. and, ultimately, it is on her. because she selected -- huma's not new, right? she's been around for many, many years around the clinton inner circle, and hillary had at her disposal the who's who of democratic party elites. she picked huma. she knew the tendencies, that she was going to love celebrity and the red carpet and that aspect -- katherine: and be married to anthony weiner. harris: somebody needed to be able to drive her to the hospital or coordinate that scene. meghan: james comey reinvesting their e-mails because of her husband's server, so there is legitimate blame to be placed -- >> oh, no, huma abedin was terrible. that's the only job she's ever had, working for hillary clinton. so hillary clinton was able to mold this person to be her offensive line, if you will. ultimately, the blame goes to hillary clinton. perhaps one of the boris candidates certainly -- the worst candidates certainly in my lifetime. but huma does represent one thing, that manhattan elitism that cou

and they can exploit him and manipulate him in way that they just did hillary clinton.ry other member of congress. >> yeah. >> this is their operational policy as a nation. >> absolutely and to that point, the president today said that he hopes the russian attack will not be treated a as a partd sedan issues. but trump and his allies have done that. the trump kpaun said, we believe it was the dnc that did the hacking as a way to distract from the campaign. in the second debate, trump again blamed democrats and suggested the hacking may not have even happened at all. >> i notice anytime anything wrong happens, they like to say, the russians are -- she doesn't know if it's the russians doing the hacking. maybe there is no hacking. >> even as recently as his last television interview, which was last weekend, trump was still blaming the democrats. >> so why would the cia put out this story that the russians wanted you to -- >> well, i'm not sure they put it out. i think the democrats are putting it out, because they suffered one of the greatest defeats in the history of pol

this was in the context of hillary now.hat needs to be discussed is what have elected officials and our appointed officials said and done in the past. but you're saying the hillary clinton told you a different story can you explain. see mac in fact she put her arms around me and told me it was a video i asked her at the time what video i didn't know anything about any video. she said it was a video that was the reason that this happened. i know for sure it was an video. wasn't video. she even said afterwards it was an video. i want to know why my son is dead. i think i deserve to have that explanation she has never once told me why my son is dead. >> has anybody in the u.s. government told you how your son died? >> they called and told me. they were talking about fake news stories what is your reaction when you hear that. >> i know what she told me. i was 10 feet away from my son's coffin and i know what she told me. she told me it was a video and that she would give me a call she was in gonna check into it a little bit mor

he softened up hillary clinton. was at the same convention in philadelphia and the fact is, his supporters were still out there protesting her. he was in the hall being a dutiful democratic convention soldier but his supporters were not. many of his supporters on election day were upset by the way he was treated and their views were never a simulated into the clinton-kaine campaign. i assume her choice of tim kaine had to do something with virginia and something with not being overshadowed. he was not a affected pic in the end, at the beginning and certainly not the fight's presidential debate. he interrupted the female moderator about 36 times. someone -- i had worked with mike pence for over 10 years. he has been in congress for 12 years, 10 of which he is set on the foreign affairs committee. we always thought if we were going to get past that blue ball, it would be with a running mate who our himself with the concerns of the working-class voters. hillary clinton called donald trump to concede the election but wh

of situations did not happen with hillary clinton. trump was famous for calling executive producers and nbc.ng the head of a phone callet from the donald trump complaining about something, i have not gotten those phone calls. those phone calls and this, they definitely this, but i would say , i would like to think it did not change how we approached interviewing donald trump, especially on meet the press. he has people's phone numbers and he uses his phone and he will call whoever he wants. i'm going to leave that one at that. >> one other note i was going to make. we are all still human. our ownmen, we all have events we are dealing with. four of us have either gotten engaged or married in the last year or so. i hope some of you can say something about how it is been being so busy while still having a personal and. -- personal life. we had to try on wedding dresses and he brought the crew with you. ou brought the crew with you. >> we were shooting part of our "girls on the bus" series. i had a very bizarre campaign experience, which

then you got hillary clinton.owever, that could be a little bit misleading as our buddy eric oster mire from spart politics points out. he says the population is always growing in this country. so if you're comparing the raw popular vote total of a candidate in 2016, of course it's going to be higher than any other total in history. the country is always bigger than it ever was before. one thing to think about is the percentage of the vote she actually got. and that sitting down there, again 48.15. there are a bunch of losing candidates in the past who have gotten a higher percentage of the vote. of course they are still counting them up. she could climb in this list a little bit. but she did get more popular votes than any loser before, more popular votes than a lot of candidates who have won. but when you look at the percentage, there are some candidates who have lost races who have done better than hillary clinton did. a little bit of perspective. a little bit of context as that popular vote total continues to

we just heard from hillary clinton again. at the top of the hour, we brought you the news john glenn, former u.s. senator, former astronaut passing away at the age of 95. we talked at the top of the show with jay barbree, the astronaut, the space race, how important that was to this country. talk to us, if you would, though, about john glenn the politician. he went from being an astronaut to politics. he resonated like any politic n politician. talk about him there. >> i was a strategist and media consultant in his last senate race in ohio in 1992, which he won. i had gotten to know him pretty well. i knew him somewhat before that. actually, he wasn't a great politician. he was a great public servant. from the frontiers of space to the factory floors of ohio to the u.s. senate. the worst thing you could do in capturing john glenn was telling him he had to believe something or vote in a certain way because it was the political thing to do. you had to argue that tfts right before the merits. efls equally honest with himself, ho

she offered that if people voted for hillary clinton.pparently, that gross offer from a wadded-up old windbag was a slight margin donald trump needed to push him over the hump. david bowie and prince are dead, and we're left with her. maybe she's right. there is no justice in the world. ♪ kennedy: i'm kennedy. ♪ ♪ kennedy: sitting down, it's magic. president-elect donald trump ran as a populist with an eclectic set of policies and blue collar appeal. his infrastructure plans and trade deals are are a liberal wish list, but he's tapping establishment republicans for some of his cabinet picks. is trump shuffling washington's age-old ideologies? more importantly, will it work? let me ask ben dominic, publisher of the federalist, and he's joining me now. how you doing, ben? >> i'm doing great. kennedy: let's talk about what "the wall street journal" has called a post-ideological world. and donald trump kind of being a post-modern politician, you could say. are there any positives here for idealogues who are usually underserved by elections?

wrong with hillary clinton.he didn't have the right message and smart republicans were reloved when joe biden got out of the race. he more or likely would have been able to keep together the obama coalition and reach white voters. she's inspiring as a rainy day. >> let's step away from the politic and go to a big arer picture. there is a russian story. a former candidate for president saying that is why i lost and dismissing a certain segment of voter and the message of 2016, all things are are possible and we have new energy coming in to the white house overshadowed by the russian story and blaming of another country in a interferrance of the election process. >> there is a bigger story, which is what the russians did in america is part of an overall strategy to destabilize the united states, western europe. and ukraine and the baltic state and we have seen tragically through syria and consist of assad's forces of aleppo. bottom line we are in a war with the russian and potentially the chinese, too and i wish w
