jim mcgovern was live tweeting the events last night as he was watching.romit came to the message the iranian director, he wrote, "a powerful message on trump's muslim ban. the need for us to reject his hate and fear." " now more than ever, we must stand together." when it came to that mix of about best picture, several members of congress tweeted about that as well making parallels to the general election. a congressman from colorado, a democrat from colorado, said, "la la land won the popular vote." chris murphy said, "what happened on awards night happened on election night." next caller, good morning. republican and a veteran, and i am especially thankful to hollywood and the women of america to speak out about this. every single one of those people who voted for donald trump knew there was no such thing as a trump university. test theyot meet the did not need mitt romney to tell them that. they just thought it was amusing that a man who claims the work $10 billion would rip off the children of america for hundreds of millions of dollars. need ted cruz

of the last 80 years, democratic nominees for president, with the exception, perhaps, of george mcgoverniably pro israel. the democratic party was a party of scoop jackson and john f. kennedy and hubert humphrey, great supporters of the state of israel. that change in a president obama, though, it hasn't shaped the conviction conviction -- >> bill: it was interesting because netanyahu made it clear that he thought president obama was not an enemy but not a friend of israel. he made it very clear. and hillary clinton vowed to pretty much -- she was assistant secretary of state, she carried out that policy, yet, 71% is still voted for her. an interesting phenomenon. okay, we have a new pullback -- >> one more thing about that, bill. adjuster member, i think donald trump is authentically potent on my pro israel. this is very important to evangelical christians. the general election victory. i know the leadership of the evangelical community to discuss israel with him and try to make certain that he was solid on the issue from the start. >> bill: trump has been pretty consistent in saying th

. >> while senator mcgovern is out campaigning tirelessly, trying to get his message across to the peoplenixon is giving the impression of staying above the campaign, sitting in the white house and carrying out his presidential duties and leaving the hard campaigning to vice president agnew. >> people want to trust the king. people don't want to believe this about their president. >> pennsylvania decisively important state for the democrats drawn tonight to the republicans. kansas, connecticut, texas, michigan, delaware, arkansas and north dakota, those are the states that we show for president nixon. >> that was one of the greatest victories any president has ever had, carrying every state except massachusetts and the district of columbia. >> i think that the shadow on his victory is the watergate affair, and i believe a great many people very close to the president would like to have a move on that as one of the high priorities of his new administration. >> either have these people exonerated or get them out and persuade the country that the taint is gone if there is a real taint there.

it could be like nixon winning in '72 against george mcgovern. it can't just be the far left right now. we've got to find moderate democrats that are willing to start really going after trump. >> can he keep it up, though, for the next four or eight years? being a disruptor, at this pace? >> i don't know because we can't predict. but i think he wants to own every single media day and make sure he has a tweet or an outrageous sound bite that gets average people's attention, maybe makes them laugh, maybe makes them shake their heads or makes them fuhrious. he's a master of keeping the spotlight on himself every day. i'm reminded that john adams was once said, "the greatness of washington is he knew the power of silence." he knew when to be silent. trump does not know silent. he's going to babble and babble and babble for the next four years, and the question is whether the routine goes badly and the ratings go down like they did on "the apprentice" or whether he can keep it as a popular storyline in america. >> it does stand the risk of becoming ch
