jill stein. dr. ein, this "washington post" story, blockbuster, pointing fingers directly at putin for having directed the meddling in our election, i find to be pretty coal pmpelling of involvement. does it make you reconsider the dinner invitation you received in 2015, and whether him giving you that platform was, itself, a form of meddling. >> so, let's be clear, and i have not yet seen that article from the "washington post," but there's been quite a lot of evidence appointmenting to the hacking into our election systems, especially voter registrations, and there's concerns about the vulnerability of the system. that's not new. i called for recount to examine, in fact, the voting machines and the software to know, in fact, because, right now, it's acknowledged that we got a real problem here, and whether it's the russians, whether it is other hostile nations, whether it's criminal networks, we know that our voting system is wide open and vulnerable to all of this, so we need to get to the bottom o

jill stein. dr. , this "washington post" story today, this blockbuster that points a finger directly at vladimir putin for having directed the meddling in our election, i find to be pretty compelling involvement. does it make you reconsider the dinner invitation that you received in 2015. and whether him giving you that platform was itself a form of meddling? >> so, let's be clear, and i have not yet seen that article from "the washington post." but there's been quite a lot of evidence pointing to the hacking into our election system. essentially voter registration, and local election officials. there are grave concerns about the vaul neshlts of our election system. and that is not true, in fact, that is why i called for actually a recount so we could examine in fact the voting machines and software. because right now it's acknowledged that we've got a real problem here. whether it's the russians, whether it's other other hostile nations, whether it's other criminal networks we know that our system is

jill stein was at the same table. if it had not been for her, hillary would have one michigan, wisconsin -- there's one other state. anyways, after the elections, wanted those recounts . was the purpose of that? even if she had one those states, she still would not have one the presidency. i question why that was so important to her to have those recounted and i would like to check if they found money that was paid by russia to michael flynn. recounted and i would likei would like to see how much money was paid to jill stein and why she was at that dinner with putin. ast: we will go on to sheila, republican from massachusetts. caller: there's a couple things i would like to bring up. it seems to be russia, russia, russia. nobody brings up the fact that barack obama sent an entourage to israel to affect their elections. secondly, the a1 brothers who .roke into secure computers nothing has been said or done about these people. they were inroven -- the highest level of information, and nothing is being said about that. i

after 2016 presidential election candidate jill stein asked for ballot recount. she only had one percent of the vote. in this new era of electronic ballot machine hacking the potential for ballot recount is increase. recounts are expensive. has fair vote looked at each precinct and what they should be. second question is, years ago you made some strong arguments for reducing the use of escalators. fair vote done a study they're reducing the number of escalators contribute to election reform? guest: escalators are a good thing as they move forward. what fair vote supports transparent and accountable voting. if you have evidence of any kind of hacking, you can call your state attorney general local laughter andlaw enforcement and make a case. guest: we done lot of look at statewide recount. people can go do our website and see what happens and doesn't happen. our suggestion is that actually congress not mandate a certain way that all state have to do presidential recounts. they set a regime in place that's just predictable. one the states can do, is to say what it

they come after me they go after an actress like susan sarandon or an activist or they go after jill stein another person with no money and no power they're still pretending like we're the problem and why are they why are they doing that because if they don't pretend we're the problem they have to look in the mirror because the new york times gave trump what five billion dollars worth of free press and they had more free press they would rather show an empty podium of donald trump than show bernie sanders giving a speech about universal health care or ending a war or a living wage or free college or infrastructure spending that's what who that who that main street and that's i met and b. see that's not just c.n.n. or a.b.c. that's m s n b c which is right now put fueling a vendor phobic can hear a sea theory and a million miles an hour with zero evidence and i'll tell you one more thing about this russia thing people are starting to get skeptical about it just like you and i are right because i'm all for investigating anything and crime any crime let's investigate but what they're doing is

paris climate deal, mass extinction says jill stein, do you think the rhetoric will be toned down? >> for the moment, yes, but i guarantee you in a few weeks it's going to be ratcheted up again, they can't help themselves. some people unfortunately, it's one thing to lose an election and say we vow to oppose the policies of the president or new congress or whatsoever. when you use such incendiary rhetoric making it sound like you make changes in health care. you're going to throw millions of young and old people in the streets and in the gutter. no! that stuff is so extreme and misleading. okay, politicians do it, but why the media? yes -- >> it's the gotcha politics, the cycle of the d.c. cycle. >> ultimately the only way you deal with it is new norms are established. you step over a line, you're a pariah. liz: it's not just gridlock, the toxic gridlock, incumbency is a problem. some of the leadership is around since the nixon era? >> term limits, advocated that when i ran for a certain office and it's time to dust that off again. liz: clean house, you say clean house. >> let's re

. >> reporter: after the primaries hodgkinson seemed to shift his support to jill stein and shared anti-hillary clinton statements from the russian outlet rt. he called and e-mailed his republican congressman ten times over the past year complaining about policies like health care. congressman mike boss says there were no red flags even though in one e-mail he wrote if you vote this way, we'll remember you. a law enforcement source says two weapons were recovered at the scene. an sks rifle, a chinese made ak variant that investigators believe was used in the shooting and a nine millimeter pistol. next to the ballpark he parked his van. the fbi says he's been living in it since march. >> do we know where he's at? >> he's behind home plate. >> reporter: he joined the ymca on april 4th and cancelled his membership yesterday. but since his dues were paid through july, the gunman checked in this morning at 531 a.m. staff saw him on his laptop. the former mayor of alexandria saw him at the y and engaged him in conversation. >> i concluded until i learned who he was today that this was a person that s

towards the president and hillary clinton and apparently loved bernie sanders and ended up going for jill steinding to his social media pages. it appears that he at this point targeted those people out there. >> seems pretty clear that he did target them and he was ideologically driven. did he cross the line to the point where he should have got -- been noticed by law enforcement in some form or fashion, look, the fbi is not out surfing the internet looking for people like him. they depend on reports from people that are close to him. this person had at least three violent incidents that i count back in belleville, illinois, where he came from. so this guy was flashing red. but i don't think that we can expect that law enforcement would have -- he would have popped up on their radar. it appears to me that his posts didn't really cross that line into violent action or calling for violent action or threatening violent action. that's just based on my read of what i've seen. >> gentlemen, thank you so much. i appreciate your time. we'll be right back. [vo] what made secretariat the greatest racehor

. >> but hodgkinson seemed to shift support to jill stein in september. his hatred for hillary clinton intensifying. hodgkinson sharing anti-clinton stories from the russian state media outlet, rt. he also belonged to anti-republican groups including one called terminate the republican party. the bellville news democrat. hodgkinson repeatedly wrote letters to the editor from 2010 to 2012, expressing concern about the unemployment rate and taxes. hodgkinson was arrested for battery in april 2006 for allegedly attacking his girlfriend. he also had other minor run-ins with the law dating back to 1992 when he was arrested for drunk driving. he was fired for his job as independent contractor in 2003 for quote unacceptable behavior. [ gunshot ] investigators found a vehicle on-scene they believe belonged to hodgkinson and used that to confirm his identity. atf is tracking two weapons, a rifle and handgun. congressman ron desantis said the gunman approached the car he left practice in with representative duncan. desantis said the laman he late recognized as hodg

friend ralph nader ralph nader cost them the election and now apparently they've even pulled in dr jill steinof the green party she was part of it she cost them the election they never want to take ownership that maybe they have the wrong candidate may ran a horrible campaign so it's easy no let's blame the russians and it's also more than that i don't like the fact that we're out here trying to drum up the cold war again how many elections have the united states of america interfered in venezuela cuba where guatemala iran i mean the list goes on and on and on who are we to talk about interfering in elections and speaking of credibility and there's a bill right now in targeting media outlets like our t.v. sponsor of the bill senate senator jeanne shaheen democrat of new hampshire says she's claiming that our tea and sputnik are designed to undermine our democracy and she says she's referring to the russian meddling in the u.s. election which again as we said has not been proven so governor what is your response being that you're actually work for art that you think people who are the ones who

parisç climate deal, he rescinding that, that will lead to mass extending shun according to jill steins of julius caesar did. they didn't wait for a boycott. we're stepping back. not going to do it. no, they didn't wait for consumers anybody to boycott. we're not back it, we're not going to back this we're going to withdraw. they stepped back. ashley: they knocked it off. >> time for reasoned compromise. stuart: well-said, elizabeth, ashley, well-said indeed. we'll be back. stuart: back to business for the president. back to business for the democrats. oh, what a difference. this hour president trump formally announces his apprenticeship plan. you'll hear the details shortly. what he's trying to do is equip youngsters with the skills they need to nail down well-paid blue collar jobs. he's spent the week implementing a policy of job growth. last week it was a huge infrastructure building plan. that is getting down to business. the democrats are doing the same, but the business they're getting back to is the destruction of the presidency. hours after steve scalise was shot, as his condit

stein. one of the things that jill talks about a little bit, optimism and pes michl, optimism and pessimism, we would ask how dow feel about the situation and we would ask dow think it is going to be better next year. you see that, and this is about one or two years ago. it is one or two years ago because not everyone answered this question at the same time but way before the election. what you see there is that clinton voters, the clinton voters were definitely more optimistic about financial future than trump voters. now we ask this question in april and you see a stark reversal. now you see not only trump voters are much more optimistic and for example the clinton voters are more likely to say their future financial situation will be worse than today. but as that number has shrunk to only 5% for the trump voters. about the same, there's not too much of a difference. we can still also show it in a different way. what i do here is simply look at the difference between the percent of -- between the clinton and trump voters. what you see is sort of the dark red, that's before the election and

preferences, and there's a movement from people who voted for johnson or stein two other candidates. one of the things that jillked about all of it optimism and pessimism is we can look at this and a slight edge of the way also. as i mentioned the respondents we have come we've had them for a number of years. what are the things we as quite a while ago we would ask them, what is your current situation and to think it's going to be better next year? this was not one or two years ago we asked everyone but way before the election, what you see there is that the clinton voters, they were deathly optimistic that the financial future and the trump voters. now ask this question in april and you see a real stark reversal. now you see that suddenly that trump voters are much more optimistic and, for example, the clinton voters are more likely to say that their future financial situation will be worse than today. but as that number shrunk to only 5% for the trump voters, and about the same, there's not too much of a difference. you can still also show this in a different way. what i do is simply look at the difference be
