the wife of senator bernie sanders. janeanks for joining us. >> good to be here, wolf. >> all right. so senator sanders says he is supporting congressman ellison as leader of the dnc, the democratic national committee. because, he says, it needs to be led, i'm quoting him now, "by a progressive that understands the dire need to listen to working families." here's the question -- couldn't he be that voice, senator sanders, or at least play a leading role in the dnc? is he considering something along those lines? >> well, he's playing a leading role in the senate. and i think that everybody has a role to play, and politics has to stop being the cult of the personality. we need to bring more people into the process, not -- people all over the country into the process. but also more voices in the establishment, whether it's the political establishment or the media establishment. keith ellison has been the co-chair of the congressional progressive caucus. he's a very influential and intelligent, articulate leader, and we think th

let's listen together to something that jane sanders, bernie sanders' wife said about this election andure. >> yes or no. would you be open to a senator sanders running again for the democratic presidential nomination in 2020? >> see, that's exactly the wrong question, wolf. nobody cares, except the political pundits. he is not -- he is concerned about 2017. he's concerned about our muslim population in feeling great fear rght now. we're hoping that president-elect trump will give them a reason to not feel that anymore. he's concerned about the fact that people are hurting, that the water systems in flint are still not repaired. those are the things he's focusing on. and what happens in 2020 will happen in 2020. we'll talk to you in 2019. how's that? >> okay, so, david, the question is, can sanders' wing of the party, the progressives, merge with establishment democrats to create a new party? >> well, i think they're just in the party of figuring that out, in terms of senator sanders, his wife, jane sanders, she's right on the point that as a u.s. senator, he is a sitting u.s. senator,

and i'm told bernie and jane sanders themselves saddened by what appears to be a donald trump win. they're upset about it. but there is a little bit of i told you so that you didn't pay attention to what was going on, that you didn't kind of embrace bernie sanders's ideas and approach enough. and it cost them. >> mike murphy, was surprised to hear michael steel. i'll raise this with him. say that the pollsters essentially got this right. they essentially did not get this right. we're covering a story that no one saw coming. >> well, my crystal ball has been shattered into atoms here, because i predicted the opposite of what happened. we have been living and dying by data for a long time and tonight data died. the exit polls originally were off, the most credible polling was off. trump had resonant issues, people wanted a change, i agree with chris, how the working class has had it. this is how they riot. the other half, we can't miss this, is what a big generic republican wave it was. there was a real repudiation of hillary clinton, and i think the third obama term. it needed two p

feels so pushed out that -- and bernie sanders and his wife, i believe, was on cnn last night jane sandershe could have won if he had been the nominee number one and number two left the door open to 2020. bernie sanders 74 now. may be great and all that where is the bench? >> same thing said of the republicans after the last election. they don't have anybody. and then they put up 17 people. >> i heard a top democrat on tv saying we need autopsy. i think it was jessica tarlov on fox said we need an autopsy. what's what the republicans did after romney. we have got to have an autopsy. what could do we do with hispanic voters. a lot of talk a couple days ago. autopsy 2.0 because the republicans learned nothing from the last autopsy. you know what? victory changes everything. >> exit polls showed most voters didn't want a more liberal nominee they wanted a more conservative nominee on the democratic side. you talk about transition 3.0. there is a suggestion that maybe the clintons are part of that solution as well. the clinton dynasty continues. got to get your response to this. chelsea clinto

. >> the wife of bernie sanders here with us now. jane, good to have you back.you worry that maybe, you saw debbie wasserman schultz tipped her bias that she is not some sort of distant observer of this race, her candidate is hillary clinton. >> i know you want to start a fight in the democratic party, but i'm not going to play, neil. >> i would never do that. >> no, neil. >> gop convention is on. neil is out recovering from heart surgery. he is doing well. we want trump. i think that's what i'm hearing from delegates there. >> it is political theater. this is what people used to look at conventions for. >> i talked to donald trump and i said to him talk about hillary clinton, how you're different than her. >> cleveland is buzzing over last night's fireworks. >> vote your conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom. >> we will make america proud again. and we will make america great again! >> you are looking live at the dnc in philadelphia where the gavel is about to slam down. but it will not be outgoing dnc chair

jane in oakland, california. >> caller: hello, senator sanders. >> yes. >> i'm glad to see that you are taking leadership in thisroubling and confusing times. we are disappoint that had you are not actually elected president. we have the opposite of you in the white house and it's a very crazy prospect in the next four years, god bless us. my question is what do you think might happen to social security and medicare under trump? is there a possibility that they may be privatized or gutted and what -- >> okay. the answer to the question is the american people overwhelmingly not only do not -- not only do they not want to see social security cut, not only do they not want to see social security privatized, but what the american people want is see social security expanded because they know that disabled veterans and acceptory citizens and people with disabilities cannot make on 10-11, $12,000 a year. i'm not going to cut social security an medicare but what i know and i think you know is that in the republican party right now you have all kinds of people who are salivating at the prospect of cutting social security

jane kim is with the progressive faction, the more liberal wing of the party. she got a big boost from bernie sanders that helped her edge out scott wiener in the primary. wiener is a moderate. he was endorsed by just about everybody in the mainstream, including senator dianne feinstein, lieutenant governor gavin newsom, and the man he hopes to replace, mark leno. whoever win, the mayor will be able to name a replacement on the board. and no doubt he will pick a moderate, just as he is. and right now there are also some other seats that are going to make an impact as well. there are three progressives who have been termed out. and right now the balance of power on the board is six progressives to five moderates. so with those three termed out, who knows who takes their seat with rank choice voting, we may not know that for some time. live in san francisco, carolyn tyler, abc 7 news. >> all right, carolyn, thank you. >> as we go to break, let's give you some results now from berkeley. >> yes. we'll be right back. you said you wanted to feel better about your cereal. general mills big g cereals hear yo

sander: it is not just latin america. i have been to cuba two or three times. i think jane i went in 1989 for the first time i have been back couple of times and jane had some educational work in cuba. a lot of positive things can be said, the health care system for third world country is quite good. the last time i was there i visited a hospital where they do very, very serious and good work. they come up with a lot of new drugs, actually, in cuba. their educational system is strong. but in truth, the economy is in pretty bad shape. in truth, you do not do very well if you dissent in cuba. castro overthrew a terrible dictator supported by the united states, batista. we can argue until the cows come home to what degree american interference created the kind of society that exists in cuba today. you could say that are some positive things and some very negative things. 50 years after the revolution, the economy is terrible. but i think -- i was on a sunday show yesterday and somebody was raising a quote i made about castro 30 years ago.
