let's discuss what's going on with the chair of the democratic national committee, jamie harrison, who is joining us right now. i want to start with the big picture, the nail biter that's going on. what's your outlook on this critical election now less than two days away? >> wolf, i believe we're closing strong and the contrast between the two candidates is crystal clear. kamala harris is talking about the american people and how as president she will be focused like a laser on the issues that are important to them from housing to making sure the economy continues to be strong and gets stronger to making sure that people can start their own small businesses, so that families can take care of their loved ones, their young ones and their elderly. i mean she has really been focused on that and it's been about unifying the american people, bringing in democrats, republicans, and independents and the flip side of that coin is donald trump. what he said today about the press, couple that with what he said about liz cheney the other day, this man is unhinged, wolf. it is extreme. it's dark. i

never did i see jamie harrison, a biden loyalist. of course you are loyal to your because boss. if you are in a political crisis and you are loyal, you are rewarded for that. bill clinton still talks about those loyal to him during impeachment. are you at risk of a button being pushed and the floor falling out, yes but it is normal. >> but what is the difference of rubio and pompeo? >> the difference is with donald trump he doesn't give points. he only takes them away one at a time. mike pompeo lost his points. nikki haley who tried to get on the campaign trail, trump very shrewdly never allowed her to. even though if he had, he may have increased the margin a little. >> he is right. i like to normalize trump broadly because a lot of what he does is dangerous and takes our public discourse to a low and cheap and gross place. but doug is right, it is true. there is an element of loyalty that is baked into how presidents think about who they staff up a. the difference with trump is he is often asking loyalists to do things that are wildly, or at least what we saw in 2020 that are

talk about how high that note will be is chair of the democratic national committee, my man, jamie harrison. welcome, chairman. >> morning, mr. chairman, how are you? >> how are you, symone. >> alicia, here they go, here they go with the chairman corner . they just can't avoid it. now jamie, i have heard people describe what has gone on in terms of the fundraising with the harris/walz campaign. somebody else is quoting, more money than god. to me, when you can advertise on the sphere in las vegas, when you can put together seven highly produced, and highly coordinated events for election day, that to me says, the money is being put to good use, that democrats this cycle are not sparing any expenses trying to win this election. >> we are not symone. bottom line is this, democracy and freedom are on the ballot. we are going to do everything we can. every party we have on the table in order to fight for the american people. we are going to be creative. i've got some new ads that are running this weekend in rural communities, in north carolina and georgia. we are going to do everything we possi

dnc chair jamie harrison respondents writing this is straight up b.s., joe biden was the most pro-workerd millions of good paying jobs, even march in a picket line, there are a lot of postelection takes and this one ain't a good one, other democrats say the party needs to change how it addresses gender, immigration and public safety. >> we were told to defund the police. the police are really important to our communities. it's so out of touch with american voters. let's have these actual debates and not cancel people for bringing this stuff up. >> among the next steps for democrats electing a new party chair, dnc chair jamie harrison is not expected to run again, the party must fill that role by march 1st. >> who is this finger-pointing helping? with bringing democratic posterior doug jones. if i'm following the scorecard correctly, joe biden is getting most of the blame, racism is getting the second largest amount of the blame, sexism followed thereafter and then may be down on the list identity politics and very little of the candidate herself, is that where we are within your party ri

the dnc is in the black, i'm told, the campaign is in the red, so people want to blame jamie harrisons in charge, they are in charge of the cash flow and the money and the strategy, the dnc can only do so much but obviously jamie harrison did what he needed to do. they will elect a new dnc chair and have robust conversations. i think some of what we discussed needs to be a part of the discussion. i'm thinking about the young women that we talked to in the mail shop, people are rightfully cynical, and so instead of telling them that they don't understand the experience, how about we meet them where they are, maybe i'm crazy but i still go to costco. >> that rightfully cynical voter is created by the political structure. it's created by the party itself and that is a big part of it. >> coming up next, legendary author jodi pico joins velshi and the fight to save books, you don't want to miss it. leo! [whistling] ever since we introduced him to the farmer's dog, it's changed his quality of life. leo's number 2's are really getting better. better poo, better you! that's a good boy, leo! p

. >> brian: seth moelton and jamie harrison are an embarrassment on this.on dollars in 107 days woman given dnc and hailed a hero and couldn't stop it and not taking responsibility for it. i listened to 45 minutes of nancy pelosi on "new york times" interview, still spinning. only time you can be honest. two words from her, i retire, that's it. >> rachel: they spent a billion dollars. donald trump got so much free media, mcdonald's the trash truck. not democratic were so bad, donald trump was so good and had a record to stand on. people could look back and say, i had more money in nie pocket, my family could go on vacation. there was no war, not even a war on biology. people could look back and say that actually worked. it was not in theory. >> brian: they said the they and then ad, best single in the history of politics, they and them and donald trump for you because we're sickening, every time we get an e-mail with idiot pronouns, i don't care if president of a major nation, i have no interest reading rest of the e-mail. >> steve: i read online, one geniu

dnc chair jamie harrison is not seeking a second term so we have some new leadership of the dnc.tuart: one more thing, donald trump considering adding an ai czar to his administration. what would that role entail? >> reporter: the main goal of this ai czar would be to keep america in the forefront of a it relevant and dominance. the ai czar would be charged with focusing public and private resources on emerging technology and also work with dogthe to utilize artificial intelligence or commerce their goals of rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse. the position wouldn't require senate consent so they could get to work really fast. musk is not in lint in line fo position, he will likely have a significant input into who gets the role. thanks to his role on doge he has so many things going on but he would have influence and a lot of familiarity with the technology, he was involved in open ai as well. trump has been attentive to these emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and crypto so we could see a crypto czar or a joint posed editions that would cover emerging tech czar.

dnc chair jamie harrison says this is straight up bs, biden was the most pro-worker president of my lifetime saved union pension, created jobs and marched a picket line. there are post-election takes and this one ain't a good one. >> todd: nancy pelosi says the loss is heartbreaking. a podcast host revealing what she heard from the former speaker after the defeat. >> she talked about the fact this was a heartbreaking los, she used that word and said she has spoken to the vice president and it was a very emotional conve conversation, that they are friends and that conversation was difficult for both of them. >> todd: she appeared to be on the virge of tears during harris' concession speech, there is a shot there. new "new york post" capturing the moment, blue-hoo. donald trump made his first major decision naming suzie wile, writing suzie wile was integral part of my 2016 and 2020 successful campaigns. suzie is you have to, smart, innovative and respected, it is well-deserved honor to have suzie as first ever female chief of staff in united states history. i have no doubt she will make our co

we have some big names joining us for hour second hour including the diegians the chair, jamie harrisonen and andrew wiseman. n.

and while the party was falling apart, jamie harrison, the chair of the dnc is getting his own documentaryould have been focused on better serving democrats was running around with a camera crew trying to recreate the war room. every corner of the left, that campaigns, the media, the dnc in disarray. i feel bad. the only thing they can agree on is how much they hate trump. and that is a bad idea. standing against trump is not the same thing as standing up for something. and democrat insiders are saying they have to get it together. quote, right now it doesn't feel like the resistance to point joe is anywhere close to coming into view. you just get the vibe that democrats know they lost and they don't know how to come back. democrats just have to get back to basics. identity politics on its face is strategically bankrupt. democrats to me feel like they have to stand for something, other than being against trump. >>> out,.com joins me know. when you see grown men cry, how does that make you feel? >> i don't think it is any wonder that the democratic party is hemorrhaging male voters. you thi

chair jamie harrison calling it straight up bs. and today nancy pelosi telling the times of bernie sanders, he has been a wonderful, shelley seay, champion from his point of view. but his point of view is not correct when he says the democrats have abandoned working families. the trans issue has come up quite frequently in election postmortems, thanks to a multimillion dollar anti-trans ad from the trump campaign. trans americans are not the only ones feeling the brunt of the postelection democratic scapegoating. similarly, democrats won the majority of latino americans. but the slight shift of some latinos to trump has some democrats wagging their fingers at latinos, wondering how they could support a man promising the largest mass deportation and history. arab and muslim americans are also being blamed, as israel's war on gaza has caused many of these voters in swing states abandoning the democratic party. in michigan, for example, donald trump won dearborn and made huge gains in hamtramck, the two cities that have the highest pe

jamie harrison, the head of the dnc, calls that straight up. b.s.erry russom, abc news, washington. >> the world's top ten richest people have even more wealth, following donald trump's reelection, adding $64 billion. this, according to bloomberg's billionaire index. the biggest gainer was elon musk right there was one of mr. trump's most outspoken supporters. musk's wealth jumped $26.5 billion. now, experts say a new trump administration may offer more than just cash benefits for silicon valley and the future of tech. abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey explains how things could change come january if the bay area was its own country, it would be the 17th largest in the world, and as the home of talent, innovation and technology, silicon valley would be the driving economic force. >> experts are hopeful that its role could become even greater with the trump presidency. jim wunderman is the president and ceo of the bay area council. >> i think a lot of folks in silicon valley are really hopeful that this will be a new day for them, and,

." >> dnc chair, jamie harrison, he blasted that, calling it "straight up bs." >> this is not joe biden'sit's not kamala harris's fault. it's not barack obama's fault. it is the fault of the democratic party in not knowing how to communicate effectively to voters. >> seth: okay, but aren't they in charge of the democratic party -- [ laughter ] -- and of like communicating with the voters? i don't remember barack obama ever saying, "hey, don't look at me, i just work here." [ laughter ] i'm just biding time until i can pursue my real passion, stand-up comedy." [ laughter ] "did ya'll watch the bears play the lions today? they got crushed. last time a bear was that dead, rfk jr. dumped it in central park." [ laughter ] [ audience ohs ] "you know it's true." real quick, we are recording this on wednesday, so if the bears beat the lions, congratulations on making me eat crow, which is something i bet rfk jr. has also done. [ laughter ] "i once saw a dead crow on the highway." real quick, the raspy rfk jr. voice hurts my throat when i do it, so my impression going forward is just gonna be a te

party chair, a dnc party chair, in charge of the messaging party-one for the country, it was jamie harrisonsouth carolina who will not be running for it. who are they looking at and why does this person matter so much in this particular position? >> this is an important position in building infrastructure which is foundational for any rebirth of the democratic party, this will be the person raising money, tending to the health and viability of the state democratic parties around the country, who would be help lay the groundwork for midterm elections in 2026. this is not necessarily signing onto some new agenda for the entire democratic party. there will be presidential candidate over the next four years that will be laying out more of a policy agenda to lead the party forward. a few people are in the mix, martin o'malley, the former governor of maryland who has been serving in the biden administration, he ran for president in 2016 and expressed interest in running for dnc chair. a number of others in the mix, and some calls for rahm emanuel, the first white house chief of staff for barack o
