joining me now to talk about how democrats can harness voices of dissent is governor martin o'malley.d the state of maryland from 2007 to 2015 and is also a former presidential candidate within this last election cycle. sir, i don't think it would be unfair to say also had a public feud with the former dnc chair over how some things ran, correct? >> absolutely, thomas. we had very few debates in the democratic party this year. i think thearty needs to be opened up. we need a fresh start. pete buddigieg for dnc chair. >> he is in the race, probably the underdog against ellison or perez. >> that's right. >> but when we talk about the new dnc chair, and i know that you kind of flirted with this opportunity a while back and passed it up. how does the next chair heal the rift and also harness the momentum of what we've seen across the country for those democrats and grassroots efforts? >> well, you do it first and foremost by putting forward a man to lead our party who's actually from a red state. pete buddigieg is not only from indiana but has been a mayor there. very successful and re-el

. >>> charlie sykes is a conservative commentator and writer and msnbc contributor, martin o'malley of course the former governor of maryland, chris shays former congressman of the state of connecticut, state where i live right now. let's pick up on what we heard from president trump. this continued, i hate using the word attack, but this continued rant against the media, promising to do something about it. what's gained by conditioning to go after journalists in this country? >> this is red meat for his conservative base. this event marks the end of the reagan era. the isolation the protectionism and spending and al of this stuff, this is not a conservative sech this was not a demagogic national speech. if you can't find what is left of conservatism it is anti-media passion, one thing is to beat on the media. this administration understands how important having enemies is, and if it's not the media, it's going to be some other group so expect to hear this a lot. i'm fascinated to find out what donald trump thinks he can do to the media in this particular, whether he intends to use gov

i would have gone and worked for martin o'malley.hat she hadne is raised all of that money for the and those party superdelegates were hell-bent on nominating her. host: the president made reference to bernie sanders. he wrote the following yesterday saying, the race for the dnc chair was of course totally rigged. never had a chance. clinton demanded perez. caller: that is absolutely correct. party, there's not a dime's worth of difference between the democratic elites and the republican elites with the exception that the democratic elites mouth the and then work contrary to their base and the republicans tell it like it is and do whatever it does tell they want. a couple of tweets from our viewers saying, wonder if trump will ask tom perez to show his papers? there's this from celeste. calling tom perez and honest man, a good guy. a good day for democrats. disadvantage crosses the roads. david is joining us from new jersey. good morning. welcome to the conversation. good morning, c-span. host: it's good to hear from you, my friend.

council member before being appointed secretary of maryland's department of labor under governor martin o'malleyhe then served as the 26th u.s. secretary of labor of president obama. now he'll be tasked with turning around a devastating losses this past election. >> a great american, mr. tom perez. >> reporter: members of the democratic national committee picked a new national chairman saturday who they hope will turn opposition against president trump in to election victory. it took hundreds of state party leaders and activists, two rounds of voting to pick tom perez as chair. perez served as labor secretary under president obama. >> i know we can win the battles ahead. i know we will win the battles ahead when we put our values forward. when we lead together. >> reporter: president trump had lunch with florida governor rick scott and wisconsin governor scott walker at the white house following his speech friday, the conservative political action conference. >> a few days ago i called the fake news the enemy of the people and they are. they are the enemy of the people. >> reporter: the white ho

there were younger upcoming democrats who say, i should have run, someone other than martin o'malley could have done a better job at challenging. i think it is hard, hard to rerun an election, but with everything we know now, if you knew trump was going to be the republican nominee, i think bernie sanders a better counterpart. they have some overlap appeal. i can't believe how many people i talked to were trying to decide between bernie sanders and donald trump. >> it is true. susan page: i guess i think if you are going to nominate, republicans are going to nominate donald trump, bernie sanders is a great match. i agree joe biden meant a lot, but it was a different degree. i think joe biden would have been afforded little desk a formidable candidate against trump. matt schlapp: we would go to these debates, you remember all the republican debates all over the country, and i would always be in an uber car and asking the uber driver who they supported. it was interesting how many times they said, i can't decide between bernie sanders or trump. for the first couple times it was like, w

under former governor martin o'malley perez served as maryland's labor secretary. prior to that he worked as a civil rights attorney for the department of justice. he ran for attorney general in maryland but he had to drop out for not having enough legal experience in the state. in our area some may remember perez from the montgomery county council. he spent his final two years with the council as its president. >>> a family of six and their pets will have to stay somewhere else tonight after a fire inside their home in potomac. the blaze began in the ben road. the housekeeper closed the door after finding the fire in a supplies room, a move that may have helped contain that fire and the damage. investigators tell us spontaneous combustion of home construction supplies is likely to blame. the i-team found spontaneous combustion leads to 14,000 fires a year. >>> for the second time in a week a child has accidentally started a fire in his home. the most recent happened in annandale. a 6-year-old boy was playing with matches in his bedroom. his mattress caught fire. e

joining us now, liz smith, a former deputy campaign manager for martin o'malley.ony, what do you think about that slip of the editorial? >> i think it analyzes the situation right. at this a huge policy, health care, that is. it's going to require some give and take. i reminded the press into my democratic friends, when obamacare is being processed through the legislation, it received a lot of opposition from democrats. nearly 40 congressional democrats voting against it. for passage in the senate, they have to do it through reconciliation that we didn't have enough votes to do it otherwise. from the 23 different co-ops coming to have eight completely debunked. 400,000 less this year than last year. that's because obamacare never made health care affordable. it was going to liz is shaking her head. >> there are 400,000 people less because the muslims uninsured is at an all-time low. that's just arithmetic. let's look at republicans and how it has shifted. they went from repeal to repeal and replace to repair to donald trump saying let's wait a year until we do thi

both former vice president joe biden and former maryland governor martin o'malley campaigned on hanson's behalf. hanson says she got a personal call from biden after saturday's victory. >> he was very congratulatory for all of the people that have worked so hard on the campaign and very hopeful that this is sending the right message back to washington. >> more than 30 percent of registered voters turned out for saturday's election. hanson will be sworn in next month. >> president trump is looking for a multi billion dollar boost in defense spending in his first budget to congress. that proposal will include a 54 billion-dollar raise for defense. the plan also calls for cuts to domestic programs and foreign aid. president trump is calling the plan a message to the world. and we'll have much more on the president's first fiscal plan coming up at 5:30. >>> trump also will address a joint session of congress tomorrow. you can watch the prime time event live here on 6abc and i'll be in our nation's capitol to speak with local lawmakers about it. my live reports start tomorrow afternoon right

martin o'malley supports pete buttigieg. take a look at what he said on our air the other day. >> you hear this all the time, the leader of the democratic party saying, oh, we need to bring forward new leaders, the general generation. by god, here is the time. you have a man who served in the navy, he served successfully as mayor, he's willing to throw himself into this task. and i think he would take donald trump on with a clarity of purpose and an honest plainspokenness that would be really refreshing for people throughout this country. >> reporter: a lot of people very excited by mayor pete buttigieg. a 35-year-old rhodes scholar, harvard graduate. he doesn't have a big conconstitueco constituency inside this room but he could be a king maker today if he throws his support behind ellison or perez. >> what's the buzz, could this be a quick decision or could this go on for a while. >> reporter: the way this works is there's 447 members of the dnc, arranged by their states, sitting behind me. you know a majority of the votes

i'll speak with martin o'malley about that in our next hour right here on "msnbc live." knows how itnumbers go up, despite your best efforts. but what if you could turn things around? what if you could love your numbers? discover once-daily invokana®. it's the #1 prescribed sglt2 inhibitor that works to lower a1c. a pill taken just once in the morning, invokana® is used along with diet and exercise to significantly lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. in fact, it's been proven to be more effective at lowering a1c than januvia. invokana® works around the clock by reducing the amount of sugar allowed back into the body, and sending some sugar out through the process of urination. and while it's not for lowering systolic blood pressure or weight loss, it may help you with both. invokana® can cause important side effects, including dehydration, which may cause you to feel dizzy, faint,lightheaded,or weak, upon standing. other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections,changes in urination, high potassium, increases in cholesterol, risk of bone fractur

the former deputy campaign manager for martin o'malley and a reiter for "the weekly standard". both. this executive order by the president is upside down. >> it is. it is somewhat in line with his overall job approval rating. it's slightly positive 48% approve. what we've seen in this poll and others the approval of the travel ban mirrors with that. i do think the fact that it's slightly on the negative side rather than being strongly positive has to do with the roll-out. the fact that people didn't know at the beginning whether those in transit would be caught up in it or not and legal permanent residents. whether people who fought alongside troops in the time of war were caught up in this and got president trump to carve out an exception and a baby girl from iran needing heart surgery. if they had thought through these ahead of time i think it would have been a strongly positive in the polls. but i think that all those problems in the beginning set them off on the wrong foot. >> shannon: when you dig into the polling numbers you see when it comes to whether people think this
