>> well, joe crowley is already a member of democratic leadership. he's the fifth-ranking member who's been a long-time ally of nancy pelosi's. he's kind of holding his cards close to his chest. he says he's just listening to a quiet lobbying effort to try and get him to potentially weigh a run against nancy pelosi. i do think she has a lot of loyalists, however, who are looking at these challenges and might rally around her at a time like this because there are many who feel democrats not need to compromise on the principles of which they campaign. it had more to do with tactics. nancy pelosi said she's the one in 2006 orchestrated some of their victories in the past. that's the case she's going to make moving forward. >> let's talk about james clapper, announcing his resignation. not a particular shock but the timing as president-elect has been putting together his cabinet, putting people in national security and intelligence positions. what is the impact of clapper's resignation, do you think? >> well, his resignation does not go into effect until

i know joe crawley -- there is an article in political politico this morning, joe crowley is considering it, and we're him from the rust belt crowd there is nobody in leadership from the rust belt, which we lost terribly to donald trump. so, this feeling that while mrs. pelosi is very good at raising money, and every but he concedes that point, we also think that besides money, campaigns are we did not capture the imagination or inspire the electorate in terms of our idea in the last election. ed: it sounds as you are interested in a change in the leadership position. am i misrepresenting your position? rep. lynch: i am interested in a change in the plan. mrs. pelosi could do that, i guess, but so could some of these new candidates that are interested in -- as well. jaent: crowley or ryan could win your vote over policy? rep. lynch: let's hear what they have to say. mrs. pelosi could win the vote. ed: we are ready to hear what you have to say about the "otr" pop quiz. you felt that you were in washington you would not get it. rep. lynch: i dread this. ed: you do so well. question 1 -- br

i am very happy that we have joe crowley as our chairman of our cauc caucus. nobody doesn't like joe crowley. crowley is extraordinarily popular. he reaches out. one of the nominations says he has the gift of listening. i want to congratulate linda sanchez for being elected. she is a younger member. a dynamic member. she is the chairman of the hispanic caucus. she will bring a voice to our leadership that will be very important. john yarmouth, where you put your money is where your values are. it is a message as to our values. leader pelosi just talked about our values and ensuring that medicare and social security are held harmless. john will address child care, health care, global warming and other areas of extraordinary importance. let me say not just to you but to us. millions more people voted for the agenda that this leadership group represents. millions. we have a responsibility to those who did not vote for the agenda of donald trump, whatever that might be. we have a responsibility. we will meet that responsibility. we will raise our voices as the lea

. >> joe crowley has emerged as a challenger to nancy pelosi for house minority leader while tim ryancially seeking the job. in the senate, there are 10 income the democrats. some of the states were close contests. where does the democratic party recovery process stand? >> it could be worse in this sense that they have their poker faces up. i think they have a decent balance between saying, let's look to the future and let's mourn. the back of a strong leader or two -- the lack of a strong leader or policy descriptions is a vulnerability for them. once the new government begins, eight will be harder for them to break through because a lot of the attention will be on republicans getting stuff done. >> i always believe a party is dead -- it happened with clinton, and reagan. i think there needs to be a fresh face that comes at some point during the administration. i concerned that the democrats will run far to the left with elizabeth warren and i do not think that is the answer. it is not necessarily going to take policy issues. the harry reid point of view, that is the wrong answer. le

new york congressman joe crowley has already been nancy pelosi maintaining that house democratic leadership position. >>> well, two best friends are taking social media by a storm with their adorable pictures. >> they are turning that popularity into a good cause. harry smith explains their new mission to help kids who need a place to call home. >> reporter: as dogs go, reagan is a true ham. >> reporter: always camera-ready. but he really shines when he's with his bestie, 3-year-old buddy. buddy, not his real name, is a foster child living in oregon. >> i started calling him reagan's little buddy because that's who he was. >> reporter: the dog belongs to the foster's grandparents. the boy and the dog are nothing but short of adorable. >> there was an instant bond. they just loved each other from day one. >> reporter: the face for his protection. yet the two have more than 100,000 instagram followers. and because of that, foster grandma, sandy, had an idea, a book. >> i felt like it's a story that needs to be told in addition to cute pictures. the good that they've been able to do for each o

i heard joe crowley talking about the fact that the election is done and move on.ounties in ohio and of a simple message, i have been able to get things done and deliver results for ohio workers and trade issues. that's what people want to see. they don't want to see political rhetoric or partisan ship. they want to see results. >> is that what got him lisa mateo -- >> it is a broader economic message and a lack of hope and a feeling that you know people are working hard and sometimes two jobs, they cannot seem to get ahead. on the expense side, the big thing in ohio is healthcare as it is in most states around the country and electricity costs have gone up and we have more energy things discovered in ohio and regulations in washington making hard for us to use. our costs have gone up. i think donald trump touches on all of those issues. >> you been in for a while and you and i go back. i think it is fair to call you an establishment republican, right? >> how do you work with someone like donald trump and are you concerned that some of your colleague is going to ha

this room has been filled now with the staff, senior staff, joe crowley, the congressman so close to her. and there were cheers when john podesta and robby mook and sullivan walked in. other people seatedre former diplomat, women friends who have traveled with her this long route who show up on primary night to keep her cheered up when times were difficult along the way. so this is a gathering of hillary land, if you will. a lot of them go back, as the social secretary from the east wing when she was first lady. this is a team of friends and hillary clinton becoming president of the united states. bill clinton will be here as well, savannah and matt. so you're going to hear, i think, a sad but grateful hillary clinton today thanking supporters. >> andrea, stand by. we have chuck todd in the studio. how hard of a speech is this going to be? >> extraordinarily hard. this one is different. i have heard that this was hard to take. she really believed she was going to be the next president of the united states. and it was a -- i think -- i don't think she -- my guess is she's probably not

joe crowley is the caucus chair who joins his vice chair. the average age is now 66. for better or worse, the leadership reflects the caucus. role call did this and put this together. 57% of the 198-number caucus is 60 or older. it's not just an age problem, but a regional one as well. every member is from a state that touches an ocean. here's tim ryan after he lost to pelosi imploring democrats to talk economics. >> as democrats, we need to talk about economics. you heard me saying a million times. if we are going to win as democrats, we need a message that resonates in every corner of the country. >> the reaction from some inside was a lot more pointed. arizona congresswoman said in a statement this should be a time of critical reflection and clear-eyed change and not a chance to rubber stamp the past to the people. democrats were supposed to begin picking up the pieces and they are arranging them in the exact same order. joining me now is elijah cummings and the ranking member of the house oversight committee. you heard my last statement in particular. why did the

it shows you that, had somebody else been willing to step up joe crowley, for example, the congressmannew york, they might have beaten pelosi. it does show there is some legitimate problems for her. i do think they feel of the end of the day this is still a si'snstration that pelo style of politics is what the democrats need, they need somebody who has that iron will. houseage of trump, the democrats will serve as an attempt to stand in his way, to force republicans to make difficult decisions on the debt ceiling and some of these other issues to she has been there in the trenches. she knows how to do it. her allies feel like that is what they need right now. on the flip side, it also means they are not going to have any new faces. the average leadership age is 76 years old. it's under 50 years old on the republican side, which is an entire generation. and i think that is the frustration you saw expressed today from the city to members refused to back her. bek: now nancy pelosi will in charge again. if all goes as planned, if they get every break, if they execute perfectly, what is her

one name to look out for, brooke, is joe crowley of new york.s a member of the house number five leadership. he's weighing a challenge also to nancy pelosi and if he runs i don't think tim ryan will run as well. this comes as house democrats delayed having their leadership vote. one reason is to determine whether or not there should be a new leader for their caucus. nancy pelosi believes she has the support but a lot of the members want to hear more about why she should be reelected leader of her caucus, brooke. >> okay. manu, first time i've been mistaken as wolf blitzer. i thought shaving the beard would give me away. manu, got love for you. >>> up next, hillary clinton in her first post-loelection appearance who said there have been times when all she wanted to do is curl up on her sofa with her dogs and never leave her house again. we'll play this emotional moment from her speech last night. it was stunning. also ahead, senator bernie sanders, he's not curling up, he's speaking out working hard saying he is ready to work with the president-e

some democrats had been pushing for new york congressman joe crowley to run against pelosi, but this afternoon crowley says he will not do that, instead he's going to run for a different position, caucus chairman. pelosi is officially in the race for another term. she sent a letter to her colleagues last night saying she already has the support of more than two-third of the caucus. joining me now from capitol hill is rubien gallego. he was one of the leaders to delay these leadership elections until the end of the month. they're now being held on november 30. you wanted to delay this? nancy pelosi wanted to get this vote done, make her the leader for another two years. you said, not so fast. now it looks like it's pelosi versus tim ryan. are you going to support tim ryan's challenge to nancy pelosi. >> anyone who runs for any leadership position has to answer a couple questions. one, what is going to change? what's going to change the fact we keep losing these elections no matter who is running for president and who is not, to how are we going to incorporate younger members into the

this room has been filled now with the staff, senior staff, joe crowley, the congressman who is so close to her and there were cheers moments ago when john podesta and jake sullivan and robby mook, the top staff members came in and there were some of the people seated are longtime clinton friends, hillary clinton friends former diplomats and women friends who have traveled with her this long route who showed up on primary nights and who keep her cheered up when times were difficult along the way. so this is a gathering of hillaryland, if you will. a lot of them go back as ann stock does to the social secretary from the east wing when she was first lady. this is a team of friends and of involved in the project of hillary clinton becoming president of the united states. bill clinton will be here, as well, savannah and matt. so you're going to hear, i think a sad, but grateful hillary clinton today thanking supporters. >> andrea, stand by for a second. we have chuck todd in the studio. how hard a speech is this going to be? >> she's done it before after losing to barack obama. th i've heard

may announce as early as today whether to challenge nancy pelosi on the democratic side and also joe crowley, new york democrat, getting pushed to challenge pelosi as well. right now, pelosi has enough support probably to stay on as leader but serious concerns internally. a difference in the two sides right now. republicans showcasing unity and the democrats struggling to figure out a way forward. >> we will check back when mike pence comes out of that room. manu raju live from capitol hill. >>> minutes from now donald trump's transition team holds its first daily media briefing. one of the big questions of course is when the team will announce its first key cabinet position. so far, more people have been fired than hired. so is trump's team off to a slow start? that depends who you ask. in 2008 after president obama won he tasked tim geithner for treasury secretary. will trump's team be ready when they get the keys to the white house? >> no administration is ready on day one. we weren't ready on day one. i have never met one that's ever been ready on day one. i'm confident on day one everyt

reports have surfaced that some house democrats are trying to woo congressman joe crowley and othersre looking to tim ryan. meanwhile, the line of hopefuls looking to lead democrats around the country is shorter. martin o'malley announced he won't pursue chairing the dnc. o'malley that just floated his name for the job on friday. his decision comes amid growing support for congressman keith ellison. >>> and president obama is waking up in berlin this morning and has a packed schedule ahead. it includes a private meeting with german chancellor angela merkel. before arriving in germany yesterday, the president delivered his final speech on foreign soil in greece. he pushed back for calls against isolationism. >> this impulse to pull back from a globalized world is understandable. if people feel they're losing control of their future, they will push back. but given the nature of technology, it is my assertion that it's not possible to cut ourselves off from one another. we now are living in a global supply chain. our growth comes through innovation and ideas that are crossing borders al

two threats are emerging to her leadership including joe crowley of new york, getting urged by some ofn. he did not rule out a member as well as tim ryan of ohio also considering a run against nancy pelosi. said he may make a decision today when i asked him about it just a few minutes ago. we're seeing much different strategies on both side of the aisle. republicans falling into line behind donald trump and mike pence. he rallies his troops today. on the other side democrats trying to struggle and figure out a way forward, carol. >> manu raju, we'll check back. thanks so much. >>> this is cnn breaking news. >>> all right. the first resignation has happened within the obama administration. we understand director of national intelligence james clapper told the house select committee on intelligence that, quote, he submitted my letter of resignation last night and then he added, it felt pretty good. we're trying to get barbara starr up on this. the first resignation has occurred in the obama administration, the director of national intelligence james clapper has resigned. i'll be right ba

. >> look at congressman joe crowley there, who has been -- a congressman from new york, long time friend and supporter. john podesta's face says it all. that snapshot, that's somebody who just believed in her and has for a long time, and to your point, gloria, you learned this in doing that amazing documentary about the losers, it is about those people in the front row, robby mook, campaign manager, jake sullivan who has been closest to her, that she clearly will feel most bad about because she let them down. but because of the potential historic nature of this, it's all the little girls out there that she promised she would show a woman president to and the little boys who she would show the 45th president could actually be a female. >> david? >> i agree with that. i think this will be a very very sad moment for her. i think it's also important to remember with hillary, she has her religious faith to fall back on. it's been very very stabilizing for her. when she takes these blows, she's one of the most resilient people you can imagine. she will be very sad but inside that faith makes a

had potentially one of the members who had been discussed as a potential challenger, congressman joe crowley, was one, could have defeated nancy pelosi in this election. and it says a lot about the levels of discontent inside the caucus, in the wake of those election results. now, that said, we have talked to a couple of members. i talked to congressman cummings, as he was coming out of this meeting. he said he cast his vote for nancy pelosi, because he believes that the democrats need somebody in this environment who is battle-tested. nancy pelosi has a well-earned reputation for being able to really wrestle democratic priorities through this body, when she was the speaker of the house, and to stand in the way of what republicans have wanted to do on a couple of occasions. you've heard, in fact, president obama talk about her political skills. she spoke admiringly of her simple raw political talents. i think that is something that a lot of the members here appreciate and want in an age of donald trump and republican control of both houses of cardiology. tamron? >> thank you, kasie. let's go

. >> meanwhile, new york congressman joe crowley has emerged as a possible challenger to nancy pelosile ryan said today he's officially seeking pelosi's job. there are ten incumbent democrats who will be up for re-election. some of those states were close contests, but trump won others by double digits. mark, where does the democratic party's recovery process stand as we speak today? >> it could be worse in the sense that they got their poker faces up, they don't look like they're a defeated party. and i think they've got a decent balance here between saying, let's look to the future and let's, you know, mourn a little bit about what happened on election day. i still think the lack of a clear strong leader or two, the thousand voices, and the lack of any policy prescriptions, making contrast with the republicans, to capture the election is a real vulnerability to them. and once the new government begins, we get into the new holidays, it's a lot harder to break through. a lot of the tension will be on republicans getting things done. >> yeah, i always believe a party is dead, and nowhe

ist: politico reports this that joe crowley is being urged by house democrats to challenge nancy pelosior minority leader , but he has not made any decision to do that. if he formally ran against her, it would be able to her in face serious dissension in democrat ranks. policy is not faced any look at paul kane's writing and it was supposed. he says this -- to that callers point about the age of the democratic leadership, talking also says this, lawmakers are expected that close he never persuaded the caucus -- let's move on to dave in florida. democrats only. good morning. caller: i think that they should leave nancy pelosi a loan. everybody was really happy with her when she ran roughshod and pushed through the affordable care act. i think if the actions that she took was a man doing it, there would be a lot less discussion about her, because she is so good at the job. she is aggressive. a lot of people don't like her, but the election is over. get over it. i think basically they need to step back and just watch what the republicans do. i'm confident they will shoot themselves in the

joe concha, monica crowley, they're next.lso later tonight. >> if anyone thinks i'm the only one going the walk into the office and say this is what you have to do, i think in a lot of cases he takes advice but he likes to listen the a lot of people. that's a good thing. >> reince priebus talking about president-elect donald trump. it was announced he will be trump's chief of staff. steve bannon will be trump's chief strategist and senior counsellor. we'll check in with anthony scaramucci on the transition seem. he will join us with judge jeanine pirro and much more on this busy "hannity." i love getting more for less. that's why this control enthusiast rents from national. where i can skip the counter... ...and choose any car in the aisle. on average, four out of every five rentals at national is a free upgrade. getting a full-size and paying for a mid-size? ♪ whoa, oh, whoa, whoa, lovin' every minute of it... ♪ as the boys from loverboy so eloquently noted... i'm lovin' every minute of it. go national. go like a pro. . >>>

. >> the one piece we know already about the leadership elections is joe crowley elected the conference vice chair, the caucus chair, rather, in a vote that got things started earlier this morning. again, under way, the leadership elections for the democratic leader in the house. nancy pelosi and congressman tim ryan of ohio. billy house who covers capitol hill and leadership for bloomberg tweets that the voting has started and the house minority race, stay tuned and that's just what we'll do we know some 200 members of the caucus including members of the 115th congress will be voting. in a preview of today's election, in "the new york times" today, their headline saying after democrats losses, nancy pelosi becomes a symbol of what went wrong. they write, nancy pelosi, is expected to win easily when her colleagues vote on wednesday. he has been a stand-in for complaints. we're also keeping our eye on news out of trump tower in new york where president-elect donald trump is working on assembling his cabinet. overnight or earlier this morning the announcement made official wilbur ross wil

reports have surfaced that some house democrats are trying to woo joe crowley and others are lookingit's been on the air a lot talking about it. joining us from capitol hill, kasie hunt. kasie, a lot of big battles ahead in congress for democrats within their own ranks a with donald trump with his own party. >> mika, that's right. look, there's a lot of soul searching going on right now for democrats. and my feeling is that it's on the way to getting worse before it gets better. but chuck schumer, he's a different kind of leader than harry reid was. he was obviously has been the leader in the senate for quite some time, is now stepping down. what you're seeing schumer try to do is make sure that everyone person who might cause him a major headache in the next two years is as close to him as possible, is getting a seat at the table. that explains why you have bernie sanders standing there and joe manchin as well. the senator from west virginia. coal country. obviously, they're a little at odds idealogically or have been historically, and schumer himself reflected a little bit on the c

that joe maddus has tremendous experience and knowledge of the world and a realistic figure and i think the realism would be something of value inside a trump national security team. >> p.j. crowley, thank you so much for your time. we greatly appreciate it, thank you. >>> more than 100 of the companies have done business overseas and just friday, quite a few diplomats visited the president-elect's newest hotel in washington, dc. some even won overnight stays at trump properties. i'll talk with the chief ethics lawyer for president george w. bush and a new report as the search for the suspect continues. we'll be right back. 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. mother in-law with a glad bag, full of trash. what happens next? nothing. only glad has febreze to neutralize odors for 5 days. guaranteed. even the most perceptive noses won't notice the trash. be happy. it's glad. i've got a nice long life ahead. big plans. so when i found out medicare doesn't pay all my medical expenses, i got a medicare supplement insurance plan.
