you work as lobbyist with the podesta group. would you be willing to give up that role? >> i am taking a leave. my wife is not happy about that, but unpaid leave. people criticize lobbyists all the time. what i tell people is that is how i take care of my family. i pay my grandmother's mortgage, i have $160,000 of student loan debt. and when you're a poor kid who grows up, and you're able to be successful to do this you have to take care of -- >> what about the worry that special interests. >> the people i care about are people like my grandmother, my grandfather. i lived in washington, d.c. for a long time, for 12 years working on the hill and doing work with the podesta group, but i went back to south carolina to volunteer, because i needed to improve the place that is home for me. and that's what i want to do for this country. i have a 2-year-old at home. and i work with nikki haley and matt moore and a whole lot of other people to take doubt confederate flag. those are the type of people i'm passionate about. and that's why i'm throwing my hat in the ring. >> there's

case but they've been looking at it for well over a year and the investigation has touched on the podesta groupch is linked to john podesta's brother tony podesta here in washington. another figure who in the trump world who is being looked at is roger stone, this is a wider investigation, the fbi has been looking at waex for six years, it's a very complicated investigation looking into the leaks of u.s. government documents and roger stone's name has come up, harry reid and other folks have suggested there is some type of coordination between roger stone and julian assange, the leader of wikileaks. roger stone deny this is. he says he does have in between mutual friends that they have been talking to each other but he denys there's a coordination and the trump campaign denys there's coordination. wikileaks is publishing hacked materials, that's what news organizations do and that's one of the problems. with bringing that case, brooke? >> with all these threads, what i'm hearing is there is no connection you're hearing about. >> exactly. >> evan perez. >>> next, president obama drawing some of

. >> john podesta speaking to a group of hillary clinton supporters in what was the opinion of the many of the people, supposed to be a victory party for hillary clinton. does it surprise that you we're not going to be hearing from hillary clinton tonight? >> yeah. i'm not sure. i can see wanting to wait and see what happens. i don't know what her state of mind is right now. and they don't know how long it will be before -- >> do you think donald trump still comes out if it starts to get called by networks? >> i suspect if the media organizations call it, that he may speak tonight. i would ask the secretary of state and the attorney general. >> if you didn't see the interview, thank you very much. >> first and foremost, hillary clinton is going to lose tonight and should call donald trump and say you've run a great race. she owes it to the american people to make a speech. if this was donald trump sending out the chairman of his campaign saying we're not addressing it because the votes aren't counted. it's 2:00 in the morning on the east coast. we have 99.9% of the ballots counted. we'r

a couple points we want to get to, john podesta assumed the leadership of the transition group from president-elect obama. the chief of staff to president clinton, seen those inner workings and understood it. you characterize john style's corporate and emphasize having separate track of the transition. >> guest: his operation was different, early operations, what he needed to do, setting things up, and people go into the department and agency to review programs, budgets, personnel. >> host: relatively detailed. >> guest: you have to pick people who have been there before so that they know what to look for but he said things up in a way using a template that all the review teams were to use. they had hugely large review teams on a problem, people may want to get their own information and make a report. he was able to have a disciplined operation. talked through carefully at the beginning what kind of information they wanted. i asked him about that process and how he maintained this fund and went back to being staff secretary. when you were chief of staff. and he learned there the importance of detai

cheered after new york magazine reported on tuesday that the clinton campaign chairman john podesta spoke with a groupf electoral lawyers and computer scientists about the possibility that results may have been altered in those states. the former secretary of state garnered 64 million votes compared to the president-elect's 62 million plus according to a count. that is politico. the new york times also having a similar story this morning adding the comment from a person who studies electoral -- electronic voting results and their security. that person is been on this program, add in the comment where with this year's deviation from pre-election polls the results of a cyber attack? the university of michigan and as saying probably not the more likely that the polls were systematically wrong. the only way to answer the question to be to examine the paper ballots. those topics are up for discussion here as far as the result our disk -- concerned. we are interested in hearing on how you plan to talk politics thanksgiving. barbara, democrat line, hi there. caller: happy thanksgiving. it is going to be disc

the new york magazine is reporting the group presented its findings to campaign chair john podesta during last week. as we learn hillary clinton's popular vote lead over donald trump now exceeds over 2 million votes. i want to bring in senior political editor mark murray. i know you have been digging into this. is there anything tangible in these claims? >> so on the surface there does seem to be something. let me kind walk you through where our map is. so, you know, as donald trump according to nbc's count has 290 electoral votes. we still haven't called michigan nor new hampshire but interedon trump over the 270 electoral votes you need to win the presidency. you end up seeing right now he has about 13,000 vote lead over hillary clinton. you go into pennsylvania, he has about a 90,000 vote lead. we actually called pennsylvania for donald trump. then wisconsin where it's about a 30,000 vote marbgin where donald trump ended up winning the state. what the computer scientists allege is there was a discrepancy that places where there was electronic voting, donald trump did much better than p

podesta lotting and lotting an official at the justice department. you see peter, a deputy assistant attorney general, charged with congressional affairs, he's part of the grouphad to inform congress that the fbi was sort of reopening things and john podesta in a previous e-mail said he kept me out of jail once, he represented me. it just got tighter. new e-mail out in a few moments, kadzik to poddesta giving him heads up where civil division will testify and likely to get questions on state department emails and he goes onto stay the state department got foia request, freedom of information. you know what, kadzik did not sent it from state account e-mail, like offline, why was this contact between justice which has been obviously overseeing the fbi probe for months and months connecting with john podesta? interesting. bill: it's going to drive us back to have one-on-one conversations again. what would be the bottom line? >> john podesta was talking about let's dump this out there as quickly as possible. let's dump it. some people thought meant delete. the campaign talked about getting the emails out when the new york story broke. look at the timeline. the op

more and more of the stuff, i don't see how john podesta is going to stay out of trouble, cheryl mills, huma abedin. the i.t. guy. this is a large group of people who are being carried into behavior which is illegal, much of it involves overt criminality. certainly doug band is at risk of being part of a rico organized crime trial. so you go down the list, there are a lot of people here who are going to -- despite everything that attorney general lynch has done to block it and it's quite clear now that she has been the primary blocking point and the people she appointed when she was in the brooklyn office of the u.s. attorney, as andy mcconsider thy pointed out in a column coming out tomorrow morning, she's really at the heart of the effort to protect hillary clinton from her own criminal behavior. >> why is this so important? in other words, i guess in watergate, like in this case the coverup is worse than the crime. but she put a private e-mail server in play, she knew the rules, he even advised everybody working at the state department not to do something like that, not to use proift devices, she lied about the number of devices sh

clinton to her aide, john podesta, acknowledging that the governments of qatar and saudi arabia are funding and financing and importing the islamic state and other radical muslim groups. that's the kind of honesty i want to see in policy. and unfortunately, for whatever reason, i haven't seen that delivered in the democratic platform on solving this issue of terrorism in our world today. >> when -- obviously, you know, we've talked to a number of muslim americans who express fear about donald trump, about some of the rhetoric that came up during the campaign, particularly the idea that, initially, that donald trump seemed to have of banning muslims from coming into the united -- a temporary ban, he called it, on muslims coming into the united states, until they figure out what the heck was going on. he seemed to have kind of morphed that into bans on people from areas where there is islamic terrorism. did that concern you at all? because the argument on that was if you -- not only is that un-american, to ban people based on a religion, but it actually alienates the very people who we should be trying to bring closer, in order to fight radical islam, islamic terrorism

two groups, the white house staff and the campaign staff, which we have reported, were openly sobbing, many of them. they're so closely bound, when you think about the top campaign staffers. john podesta, john paul mary who came from this white house and who are still here, who worked with him. but you have the legacy issue. as we wait for the president and vice president to come out. he spent so much time on the campaign trail for hillary clinton. as you know, they traveled with him, many members of this staff. they believed that this was critical to preserving his legacy. they believed in hillary clinton. one-time rivals now very close friends. he truly, the president, believed that she was the democrat who was best qualified to be president of the united states. they had been planning for this transition for almost a year now. certainly planning for this day. and hallie, obviously, not planning for the speech that we're about to hear from the president as he tries to bring together a very divided nation. many of his supporters who did not support hillary clinton. >> and chris, you have spent a lot of time at the white house. does it feel different to you today? >> reporter: oh. whe
