but howard dean, here was the announcement. there is going to be a big speech today about jobs and the economy. that's what it turned out to be. we're still waiting for a huge speech by donald trump about the economy. >> you know, we're going to have to get used to this way of operating. whatever comes into his head, he does take credit for other people's work. look, this economy has done so much better because of a barack obama in the last eight years. there have been millions of jobs added. the unemployment rate has dropped dramatically. wall street is at a new high. none of that has anything to do with donald trump. now donald trump may get in and do all kinds of wonderful things, and i hope he does that are good for the economy. so far he has put in a whole bunch of people who screwed the very people who voted for donald trump. so we'll see what happens. but sooner or later, this is the biggest job in the world. sooner or later, what you do matters much more than what you say. so he can say anything he wants to until januar

from vermont, the howard dean. dr. dean, thank you for joining us. asked all the time, why did hillary clinton lose? i will ask you this, why have democrats lost so many seats in house and senate and state legislatures over the past years? mr. dean: because they have not built a grassroots legislation. every time we have a democratic president, 50 and see the comes the way -- the dnc the comes the way of the reelect. the committee usually gets pretty hollowed out. strategy -- there has not been attention for a long time paid to what the republicans have done well, which is school board member , that isselors, mayors what really drives the party. we do have a branch of the democratic legislative council, legislative council, but we don't find it. -- fund it. some strong we organization has to be done. mark: that's a pretty long list. you like street talk. -- straight talk. name two of the people who share part of the blame for the dynamics you described. mr. dean: not going there. next. appreciate the ask. no. mark: if you are not willing to say, this

from burlington, vermont, the former governor of vermont, howard dean. dr. r joining us. people get asked all the time why did hillary clinton lose? why have democrats lost so many seats in the house, senate, and state legislatures over the past eight years? dr. dean: because they have not built a grassroots organization. i do not particularly think this is a barack obama problem. every time we have a democratic president, the dnc becomes the way of the reelect until the actual campaign starts. what happens is the committee usually gets pretty hollowed out. the 50 state strategy pretty much died with not a lot of attention paid to the local parties, and there has not been a lot of attention for long time paid to what the republicans have done very well, which is school board members, city counselors, mayors. those are the things that drive the party. we have a branch of the democratic legislative counsel, but we do not fund it, so we have some strong reorganization that has to be done here. mark: governor dean, that's a pretty long list. you like straight tal

howard dean, does she have a point? >> i don't think so.s, i'm sure, a very nice person. she knows nothing about foreign affairs and certainly nothing about the russians. for her to say that there's no russian military intelligence assets in the united states, i mean, it's not worth taking anything she says seriously about this subject. >> msnbc's friend, your friend and ours, ed rendell, the former governor of pennsylvania, has a kind of a different take on what all this means. he actually says that he did the president did donald trump a favor. take a listen. >> if he had passed this on to donald trump, all the information, and said you make the decision, then trump's first decision vis-a-vis russia would have had to have been to impose sanctions. he would have gotten off on the wrong foot with putin. here, he can let these sanctions stand, say they were done by president obama, but president putin, let's look ahead and build a new relationship. >> danny, president-elect trump does avoid pressure from republican members of congress to do

howard dean is a voice, a name from the past. that is not change.e is viewed as being a part of the old informer establishment. keith ellison is a part of the establishment and certainly very left for some democrats that are more moderate, especially when it comes to fiscal issues. stuart: do you think we'll stop the identity-- will you stop the identity politics? and move towards an embrace of america? >> well, the problem, stuart, we have a very divided america. i think we have divisions within our own parties. we as democrats do. republicans do as well. the nation is clearly divided and i don't know who or how that is going to be brought together. honestly, i hope that this next president can do that. i'm a bit of a pessimist, not just for donald trump not being able to do that, but i just think that sometimes we really love being divided to a certain degree. even within our own party and we saw with the bernie or bust people, as we see even with the people who say yay for nancy pelosi or no we need change. stuart: you've had your week off, now y

now there was a fourth contender, former dnc chair howard dean. but he dropped out yesterday for two reasons, he said it's time to turn the party's leadership over to the next generation, he also says he doesn't have time for the job, and ellison won't either as long as he's a sitting congressman. dean then made the case for party unity despite the deep divisions laid bare during the primaries. >> we cannot allow this to be a proxy fight when bernie sanders people and hillary clinton's people. this party needs to start again and we need to be together. >> so the vote for dnc chair doesn't take place until february which leafs plenty of time for plenty of candidates to jump in. so a very uncertain time for the future of the dnc. >>> let's continue to talk about this, for more on this, let's bring in chief congressional correspondent for the washington examiner, susan, thanks for joining us, i always like to pronounce your name right. i hope i did it right. >> you did a great job, no that was great. >> so let me get back to the point here, democrats

so think back to 2005 when howard dean was picked as the chair right after the loss from 2004 to georgebush for john kerry. he developed a 50 state program and within 18 months was able to knock off the house majority for the republicans, for democrats, as well as in the u.s. senate. and they grabbed a bunch of down ballot seats. what the democrats need, this is like the most important competition for them at this moment, is someone who has a broader vision, someone who wants to party build, someone who wants to put resources and bodies and grassroots activities in all 50 states. i think that is what they really need to look at is who is willing to do that, not as much as ideology. >> do you, given how fractured the dnc became this year over clinton supporters versus sanders supporters, how do you see this shaking out. who is the candidate on that graphic who you think brings the party together? >> i certainly -- it was about the personalities, there were common areas in terms of economic policy, that can be overcome. but i think it is the case that organization is the name of the game

howard dean had run the party before.they have to worry that sometimes the implicit mood seems to be, i love the '90s. >> that's the hit. we had a strong president, the economy was booming. but we also need to think about real-world economics. so donald trump has tapped into something in some of the ways that barack obama tapped into, it's just the opposite feeling. barack obama really inspired people with hope and sort of this new idea in a re positive direction that was very inclusive. and thinking about economics which would be together we can rise up. donald trump tapped into something as well for a large part of the population, because of those people you don't have. and that is a powerful message that can take us to the quote-unquote good old days of the 1930s. but the only people benefitting in the 1930s were white men. that is a really important message that he's pushing. as i've said on this network and many others, if he's trying to dismantle the voting rights act and the immigration rights and all the progressi

the only other person mulling it, howard dean, unexpectedly took himself out today. the congressman rejects anti-semitism they say. >> thank you. >>> there are new questions tonight about whether president obama's secret deal with australia to take in thousands of refugees that country does not want will survive in the new trump administration. kevin cork is at the white house looking into the possibility. good evening. >> reporter: good evening. 2,465, that's the number of refugees already rejected by australia that could be headed to the u.s. that's what the obama administration wants and that's what will happen if the president gets his way. in an unprecedented move, the state department classified details of the refugees to be resettled here in the states thanks to a secret deal you pointed out with australia. experts say the nearly 2,500 refugees would come from iran, iraq, afghanistan and mostly they are male. lawmakers fired off a letter to john kerry looking for answers, questioning the secrecy of the deal and rush to bring them here when they were offered as

joining me, former vermont governor and msnbc contributor howard dean.th us, former deputy campaign manager for the carly fiorina campaign, sarah isker florez. donald trump has responded to these remarks by taking to twitter. bill clinton stated that i called him after the election. wrong! he called me with a very nice congratulations. he doesn't know much, especially how to get people, even with an unlimited budget, out to vote in vital swing states and more. they focused on the wrong states. governor dean, donald trump touches on something we have not yet heard the clinton campaign talk about in great detail. what they did wrong to lose this election. there's a lot of deflection, is there enough reflection going on? >> look, i mean, it's so easy to be using the retrospective scope in politics. i prefer not to do that and like to separate out the two presidents and presidents-to-be. i do think that this legitimacy that the idea that the james comey letter 11 days before the election stopped all the momentum for hillary clinton. that i think is so. but i

and former vermont governor, howard dean, the former democratic national committee chair. thanks to you both for being here with us. howard, i want to begin with you, and ask you a little bit about the comments we heard there from president obama, during this visit to pearl harbor. do you think that when he was making those comments about nuclear weapons, he had donald trump specifically in mind? >> it's hard to say. obviously, if you're going to have a meeting like this with a japanese prime minister, and he at the meeting that he had before, when he went to hiroshima, which is pretty extraordinary, you're going to say something about nuclear weapons. it's very hard to make too much of this, in terms of the trump feud. i think the president is still the president, whether trump recognizes it or not. and i don't -- i think he knows who he is. and for the next 30 to 20 days, i guess, you know, he's still going to be the president. i don't think everything he says is aimed at donald trump, i really don't. >> rick, your take on this. are we reading too much into this, this iss

i think when howard dean tried to do the 50 state strategy and it was goofy.is the party needs to actually be working physically in lots of places. it reached into a lot of places. the idea was to have a national campaign and a national party. right now it doesn't look like a national party. say what you will. 06 and 08. bad political years. >> i get trashed by people in the party infrastructure. >> they didn't get a contract is my guess. charlie took. >> have a great holiday. >> coming up, fishiness in hawaii. my obsession comes out of the aloha state. it is not from the movie forgetting sarah marshall. we will tell you what it is. ♪ see ya next year. this season, start a new tradition. experience the power of infiniti now, with leases starting at $319 a month. infiniti. empower the drive. >> tonight i'm obsessed with a little matter of presidential legacy. i'm obsessed with a fish. a marine biologists discovered a new species in a remote marine preserve off the hawaiian coast. it caught the scientist's eye because of its coloring because it reminded the scie

. >> first and foremost, we have to go back to howard dean model of 50 state strategy. had that strategy in 2006 and 2008, democrats had tremendous gain. we won the house. we won the senate. we won the white house. we controlled governorships and state houses. we want away from that after 2008. we got drunk off of the fact that we had barack obama who was this greater than life charismatic figure and took our eye off the ball. what happened in state, we all just kind of fell apart. we have to go back to the foundation. we have to invest in state parties. that's the core of what i want to do as dnc chair. >> all right. jamie harrison, the chair of south carolina democratic party and also in the running for dnc chair as well, thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> all right. coming up, the game of course is on the football field here in baltimore. army/navy. if you look to the stands, there's a lot of glory there as there should be. we speak with one army sergeant whose division is being honored here at the army/navy game when we come back. >>> welcome back to
