koch and i said, no, mr. koch is standing over there, i'm mr. hurt, i'm the one that mr.esn't want to play here but i've spoke within mr. koch and our other playing partners and we're going to leave, first we need to fetch our shoes from the locker rooms, our street shoes, and we'll fetch our clubs and we've already called for the car to come up from the parking lot. orlando and a couple of his cohorts shadowed me as i was doing what i just described and then i left. >> so they walk you and mr. koch, adds you say, off the golf course. you look at donald trump in this election. in your view, does he have an understanding of why this kind of conduct, while legal on a private golf course, would be illegal if he did it on government property or when he is president? is he ready to take on those limitations? >> well, i don't think that he is, ari. and here's why. you as a legal scholar, of course, remember the mccarthy hearings back in the '50s and the lead attorney for joe mccarthy was a fellow named roy cohn. one of the biggest influences besides his own father, fred trump,

brother, charles and david koch. talked about them hundreds of times on the senate floor. >> he did a great job. >> he did a great job but the koch brothers now today were treated to the news that the guy who used to run freedom partners for them, their political network, is apparently going to be director of legislative affairs in the white house. >> i didn't know that. >> it's not official but that's the reporting today. >> and they opposed trump -- see, here's what's going on here. trump ran against the democratic and republican establishments. against both. trump as president-elect has been totally captured by the hard right. the koch brothers were opposed to him in the campaign and that will make him a failure. i said to this to him. he calls me occasionally on the phone. i said this to him. if you just get embraced by the hard right, and i named vice president pence and a few others pushing him in that direction, you will be so far away from where the average american is, even the average trump voter was, the n

koch. i said no, i'm mr.hurt, we need to fetch our shoes from the men's locker rooms and collect our clubs. >> they didn't throw david koch. >> you're talking about david koch, obviously a mega donor to the republican party. did they throw david koch off the course, too? >> well, i was the one who was asked to leave. i offered to take an uber because we had all come in the same car. david and our other companion said no, no, we'll go with you. i said, are you sure? there was security around all of us as we went to the parking lot, but it was me that they were really escorting off the property, not the other players. >> i mean, harry, given that you did paint an unflattering portrait of him in your book and you did include owed yus episodes in your book, why would you want to play golf at mr. trump's course if you believed all those things were true about him? >> well, why not. i've played there several times since i wrote the book. it wasn't my choice to go there. it was the other people we were playing with

ed koch who was totally on d'ama d'amato's side. he was mad at me because when he ran against dinkins i didn't support him because i thought new york was a racial tinderbox. yet ed koch can said "i cannot tell a lie." he said it. and that was that. >> so i think a lot of people don't know your back story about how you -- first of all that you started getting elected to office when you were so young, that you never lost an election, you upset this incumbent to get there but should we -- are there extrapolatable things that you learned from the way you started and the way you started winning that apply to what's going on with the democrats right now? >> all through the years my lodestar -- i've always been a middle-class guy, i came from a middle-class neighborhood, my father was an exterminator, didn't go to college, i grew up with people who were firefighters and store owners and teachers of all different ethnicities. that's what happens in brooklyn. but i learned you have to be true to yourself. you have to have an internal gyrosco

>> the kochs, the trumps -- >> the kochs created that wealth. >> they inherited a fortune at birth.y're in the lucky sperm club. >> now he gets it. people actually produce. people create, people make choices. the kochs inherited a lot of money and made a lot more money. the steve jobs, the bill gates created their wealth, and all of your viewers are beneficiaries, enormous beneficiaries, the vast majority of the 1% are people that have worked hard, have created something, have built something and deserve it. >> that is absolutely preposterous. there are people who live in my building who go out and clean apartments all day who work ten times as hard as most ceos who are dirt poor. meanwhile, ceos sit by -- they own a capital stock, they sit by the pool waiting for the butler to come out with a tray -- john: jesse, you told us everyone deserves a dignified life. >> absolutely. john: -- in which their material security is a guaranteed right. and that includes a college education, healthy food -- >> if people want a college education -- john: comfortable housing and health care. >> fre

trump talked on 2 campaign trail about how he didn't need big donors, he specifically singled out the koch brothers, we thaubs at a dunderstand thato just before christmas, david koch, donald trump had a conversation and trump asked him why he and his brother didn't engage in the presidential campaign to help donald trump. >> so he wants the money. >> so in my lunch at mar-a-lago during my vacation -- >> aren't you an insider. >> -- trump just met with the heads of the mayo clinic, cleveland clinic and hopkinsnd his priority number four is to reform the v.a. and he'll be spending his first night sleeping in the lincoln bedroom. >> that's a scary bed, by the way. >> it is. >> it's an antique, and there are ghost there is. >> i would expect if there are any ghosts in that planet, they might be in that room, heidi, ken and margaret. >>> when we return, let me finish trump watch. you're watching ""hardball,"" the place for politics. what are you doing? getting your quarter back. fountains don't earn interest, david. you know i work at ally. i was being romantic. you know what i find romantic?

the koch brothers and exxon and other special fossil fuel interests stand on one side. on the other side stand our military, our national labs, nasa. let me put in a little footnote on nasa. they have a rover driving around on the planet mars right now. do you think their science might be okay? and on the other side also i think is every university in the united states of america. that's the choice. the fossil fuel guys led by the koch brothers and exxonmobil and the whole array of phony baloney front groups that they have stood up to try to mask their hand, and the virtually complete science establishment of the world, every nation, our military, our national labs and all of our universities. who are you going to believe, the ones with the huge conflict of interest or the people who know what they're talking about? well, too many people in this room have made the wrong choice, but we need to fix it. in rhode island, some good things happened last year. after over eight years of work, we have the nation's first offshore wind farm. 30 megawatts, five turbines. came onlin

course if you're golfing with david koch? happened. you have to marvel at the theaters of it. two fellows in trump and harry, who have real sense of theater. i think every moment of trump's presidency will be theatrical. >> the book once again is "a consequential president." >> we'll speak with the biographer who says president-elect threw him off the golf course. harry hurt gives us his side of the story in just minutes. >>> we're following a lot of news this morning. incoming white house press secretary sean spicer joins us. let's get to it. >> i know a lot about hacking. hacking is a very hard thing to prove. >> he needs to stop denigrating the intelligence company. >> when you attack a one stri, it's an act of war. >> president obama will try to frame his legacy. >> obamacare repeal resolution will be the first item in the new year. >> for the first time in nearly a dozen years, republicans will control all of washington. >> what happens to those 20 million people who have health insurance? are you going to kick them off.

koch says he chose to leave on his own accord.ly trump can say and do whatever he wants to, especially at his own golf course. by the way, he left the press, went to the golf course without telling the press corps he was going. harry hurt saying he was booted from the golf course that same day. >> his party, his golf foursome, they stuck by his side? >> right. they decided to leave together. this is emblematic of a president-elect that doesn't let things go. he always holds on to these sorts of grudges or past feuds. you can say that's a very good thing or a very bad thing depending on review of the president-elect. his tweet over the weekend was also symbolic saying happy new year even to all of my enemies and people who thought i was going to lose. that's the exact tone he struck years ago before he was running for president. he would talk about the haters and the losers who were against him. one thing is clear, this is not a man who is changing as he prepares to move into the oval office. >> not at all. i notice you have the bo

michael koch "you can't tell obviously what one does and the eventual results are something that can't ever be predicted. but i think it's essential for people to show the immediate solidarity." some protesters expressed frustration with the new president's cabinet members, as well. jenee gill "our government's been taken over by people who essentially didn't even run; they just hitched their wagon onto a crazy rising star and their setting all of this stuff in place without having to have been elected." the answer coaltion plans on having many more rallies like those during the course of trump's presidency. the inauguration events for president trump are just wrapping up and they are already drawing comparisons. to former president obama's inauguration. there is no official count, but this video shows aerials of both events. on the left, video from president obama's second inauguration in 2013. and on the right, crowd shots of friday's inauguration for mr. trump. our inauguration coverage continues at kron-4 dot com. there you can watch president trump's full inaugural address. and se

amy: and the role of the koch brothers, lisa abbott? i think we have seen -- amy: and alec. >> absolutely. and the koch brothers and groups funded by them like americans for prosperity have been very active kentucky come as in many other places around the country, active in elections, active in providing so-called model legislation to state lawmakers who very often don't even know what is in the bills they're putting before the legislature as sponsors. and so we are contending with a very well-funded, multi-strategy agenda from the right. amy: americans prosperity state in the room, richard becker, this weekend. can you explain what happened? >> actually, last wednesday, so the day after new members were sworn in, the house economic development committee held its meeting at which they were to be discussing right to work in the repeal of prevailing wage. i was with several hundred union members in the halls of the capitol annex for the hours leading up to when the meeting was supposed to take place. five minutes before the meeting was su

according to "the washington post," leaders are voicing concern over trump's immigration order from the koch network. the travel ban is, quote, the wrong approach and will likely be counter productive. but others dismissed the attempt to ban the muslim ban. senator tom cotton wrote, it's simply wrong to call the president's executive order concerning immigration and refugees a religious test of any kind. i doubt many arkansans or americans more broadly object to taking a harder look at foreigners coming into our country from war-torn nations with known terror networks. i they they're wondering why we don't have that already. >>> and justin trudeau has been an open supporter of those coming into canada. he wrote, to those fleeing percent kus, terror and war, canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. in a statement, iran calls the move a clear insult to the islamic world and a great gift to extremists. there are also reports that iraq is mowing a similar ban on u.s. citizens and several iraqi lawmakers say the executive order will hurt the fight against violence. >>> and now a peti

country, because as you said, you find people on both sides of the aisle, from the heritage foundation, kochthers, newt gingrich. whatever their motivations are, the reality is, if you're speaking directly to this issue as something that we need to do something about. and so, you have christian evangelical leaders coming from the christian context on the right saying we need to change this to even libertarians who think this is a massive overreach of federal government, to even just fiscal hawks, as you said, who say why are we spending these hundreds of billions of dollars on a failed system? it's so failed that when we release people because we don't empower them to succeed, the majority of people in many cases are coming back into the prison system. so i'm going to continue this fight. i know a lot of people are with me. this is one of america's great shames. and i believe -- i actually have faith in america that we're going to change this. and you're starting to see that in red states and blue states around america. but the federal system must change as well. >> so that even if democrats
