>> joining us now democratic democrat gist jessica tarlov.ou for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> donald trump is a racist. his voters are racist. that's one explanation. another explanation is that cnn somehow is secretly white ring network promoting donald trump. the next is russian agents somehow made it into the wilds of rural minnesota, pennsylvania and wisconsin and rigged the voting machines. what are these three explanations for hillary's loss have in common? all three refuse to take voters seriously and refuse to think through why someone would vote for donald trump. that tells me the democratic party is not grappling with the reality of what happened. >> give us a little bit more time. i found that h exchange particularly ugly. i think it is important to talk about some segments of the alt right and we discussed this before. obviously there are white nationalists supremists in this nation they did prefer donald trump to hillary clinton. that's not why hillary clinton lost. we know we should have been campaigning in wiscons

. >> that was intense, here now jessica tarlov, much friendier conversation.o, lock, they are doing a review. i'm actually for reviews of all kinds. i actually want more information rather than less. core allegation still baffles me. talk about as plainly as we can how do you believe the russians, i will stipulate they did. i don't think we know that but let's just say they did how did they influence the outcome of the election. >> the argument the democrats are making and i don't want to blame russians for our loss. >> influence by hacking? >> the idea that once the dnc emails got out there, the inner workings of what was going on there were expoised and not a particularly pretty picture and turned off a lot of bernie sanders voters who were called out they are basement dwellers and whatnot. we this those insults. anti-semitic remark that came out in those emails that turned people off. >> exactly. >> learning off to later supposed hacks of the podesta emails we had conversations about spirit cooking. you saw that her own team was confused about what her mess

since posting the video mtv news has faced a wake of backlash on social media jessica tarlov here to y tough assignment i realize. i'm going to throw it at you. i beg your pardon, it's been bugging me it's not isolated incident. i tend to be literal and take words seriously. >> i saw that in your a block, saray. >> yeah, every block. what is this about? why the attacks on white guys? let me stipulate at the outset i know some of them. in fact, i am one. so i don't hate them by definition. i don't think other people ought to be encouraged to hate any group of people based on race or sex and yet, that's the one group that the left hates openly. why? >> i'm not sure that i would say that the left hates them. i think the left or a certain faction of the left has been blaming white men for donald trump's victory when there are a lot of other reasons that it ended up that hillary clinton lost. i think that's what's going on here. but i totally agree with you, this video it upset me almost as much as the pajama boy when he came out. these are stupid gimmicks. i don't think it will work. this

there is jessica tarlov, we like her too, a democratic strategist. what do you make of this?we see the waste of taxpayer money. seems are is lots of outrage but nothing changes. what can be done to change this policy? >> it is $50,000, in the scheme of what we waste, we remember the coburn "wastebook" had a lot more in that. so this teams like small potatoes to me on that level. there is an argument to be made making sure they can get on their feet when they are deported where they're going is good. then they won't be crossing the border again. this is kind of like foreign aid. going forward, it really, part and parcel we need immigration reform and system is just broken. close to 70% of americans favor a pathway to citizenship for those here illegally. we'll talk about the border security. we'll not get the wall but people on both sides of the aisle do want border secure. cheryl: i don't know, kristin, if you want to hand out several thousands dollars to illegal immigrant, any i am my grant to start a business, do it in the united states. at least that boosts the economy her

. >> jessica tarlov, we appreciate your insights. >> welcome to the 7 p.m.lot. >> find our man at mar-a-lago peter doocy live outside what you might call tonight the southern white house. good to see you, peter. >> yeah, it is the southern white house. good to see you too, ed. three weeks from tonight, donald trump will become the most powerful man in the world. but, tonight he is also a media critic tweeting about the recent coverage today and last night of his response to the obama administration punishing russia. he wrote this: russians are playing cnn and nbc news for such fools. funny to watch. they don't have a clue. fox news totally gets it. that post about the russians playing american reporters was the seconds thing mr. trump tweeted about russia. both of them seemed favorable enough. and that's just one day after he announce he would listen to high ranking intelligence officials who have expressed tremendous confidence that russia was responsible for interference with the american election. mr. trump today had 10 meetings and there seemed to be as

. >> joining me now with reaction, democratic pollster jessica tarlov and booth who also writes for "ington times." li through controversy, whoa is me. as a matter of fact, the war on christmas is probably the only war president obama has ever won, jessica. >> how long have you been waiting to say that one? >> is this a real story? i don't remember anybody saying that he was initiating a war on christmas. do you? >> yes, i remember many people saying that. i see all the time in my twitter feed when i say happy holidays just because i want to be inclusive i have no christmas problem. i love my red cup. i like it all. >> you can name one person who said that obama's is waging a war on christmas? >> i have heard many people on these airwaves talking about it. >> who? >> is this really happening? >> i mean, i haven't said it. i don't remember anybody is waging a war on christmas. >> talked about it on "cashin' in" for sure. talked about how there was a guy in texas who owns a diner put up unapologetic sign merry christmas because he was sick of people defending other religions over christ

jessica tarlov is democratic strategist. fred, what is your take? >> what on tillerson? melissa: on all of them. directly talking about the secretary of state position, how, now it is expanded to include all these other people. at the time we thought it would get narrow. instead we're adding to the list. >> i don't think tillerson will be secretary of state. look, i think donald trump wants mitt romney as secretary of state, but, almost everybody, all his advisors are against it, particularly the ones who had anything to do with the campaign. remember, what romney had said about, about trump, of course, trump had said pretty critical things about romney. we'll see. but trump doesn't seem to want to go against all his advisors at the moment. still, i would make, i would say mitt romney's the front-runner. melissa: jessica, i have a little different take. before was distracted everyone and get them all hysterical with his tweets. he switched from the shiny silver object used to distract the media and everyone else, rather than being the tweets, now it is front door to his

bush, jessica tarlov, senior political analyst for shown consulting. 9/11. watergate. don't know, what else do you want to put in that category? pearl harbor, take your pick on the hyperbole. >> good thing harry reid is old news. will not be in washington. he is not going to be governing. this is another attempt by democrats to delegitimatize the fair and free election of trump trump. russians were not the cause of donald trump being elected. it was incompetence of hillary clinton. bill: jessica, you want to take that on? >> okay. well there is a lot there. first of all i would like to say -- bill: start with harry reid. do you believe this is as bad as 9/11? >> obviously not. 9/11 in category all its own. hyperbole hurts our cause. i disagree this is democrats doing that. harry reid is only one opinion saying about that elijah cummings, adam schiff, this investigation is bipartisan into what the russians are doing, if they're in our system. not because i think the election outcome is going to change, it is not. we need to know if they were some way tampering. we need

jessica tarlov, democratic pollster, senior democratic strategist, schoen consulting.to come. occupational safety, evidently the obama administration is upset about metal in water. forced arbitration in credit card bills. incentive compensation for wall street. they will restrict that. some stuff on stoves in terms what your house stove can do to help the environment. regulations on organic meat. jessica, i know there is a much longer list you would like to see. we'll get to that in a minute. dineen, what is the point here? a lot of these can be undone come january 20th? >> you're absolutely right. i think obama basically still having his little temper tantrum because hillary lost and his legacy is going to be he overturned once donald trump is in office. if you look at burden of these regulations, cost of these regulations incurred under our economy, under obama's watch, since he has been in office, over 20,000 regulations have been issued at a cost of $100 billion to our economy. so our economy is limping along. these regulations don't help. and i do think obama is t
