host: and you write about how this impacted the staff of the dnc and also the murder of seth rich. guest: let me just say this. i have to be careful when i talk about this. seth worked at the dnc. he was a great, loyal, dedicated staff. as the vice chair for civic engagement and voter participation, seth was one of the two people who work in my area. his murder -- we took it seriously. we cried for days. we mourned the loss of not just our colleague, but a friend. seth was murdered july 10. i became chair july 24. in between those weeks, we saw emails of staff people being leaked. those staff members came under harassment you they started getting threats. started getting bombarded with emails from trolls and bots. we did not know who was setting our house on fire. but at the time, we were mourning the loss of a colleague. i believe fundamentally that the staff at the dnc, they are the grandest people i will ever get to know. they were brave. they came to work each and every day despite the fact they were getting death threats, that the building was getting constantly threatened. peo

one lie like it never have for those of you who have been living in a cave seth rich was a d.n.c. data analyst who was shot to death here in washington d.c. just a few days after julian assange announced that wiki leaks had possession of the d.n.c. leaked e-mails julian assange and others have insinuated that seth rich was the one who leaked the information to wiki leaks and many others including donna brazil say that's ridiculous but if she thinks seth rich was just killed by a random robbery gone wrong which is what the police say then what we're going to drop into a discussion about how tough it was to work at the be. consistent with course was killed during the campaign did you feel under threat every day you felt under a threat for a muggings gone wrong on what. it should be honestly believed that the rich was killed by a bizarre accident then this would be like saying yes. after one of my employees died from choking on a hamburger i started locking my doors and looking over my shoulder to make sure that no all beef grilled patties were coming after me as well. but it seems m

i wish we had more like seth rich. more young people willing to go out there and work for democracy. he wanted to see hillary clinton in the white house as well. god bless you, seth. god bless you. host: our last call is from missouri, democrats line, benton. caller: hey, donna. it's good to talk with you. i just have a few questions about the timing of the book. some say it is a time that is like beating a dead horse. so i feel like, are you trying to work with democrats to come up with solutions for the last up with theseends results, as far as long lines at ands and voter turnout hurting everyone -- herding everyone towards one candidate, hillary clinton. there was no opposition to her in the democrats. the distance it takes to get to polls. reduction of early voting, things like that. voter suppression by law. host: thank you. we will get a response. guest: first of all, thank you for your questions. the best time to talk about the election is when we are one year out, when it is still fresh in our memories. this i

sort of this seth rich conspiracy theory, something that's been a tremendously painful episode for thefamily themselves, that they've really tried to sort of push back on this and ask people to stop using their son's, you know, unfortunate death in this way. you know, it really does demonstrate sort of how far outside of the mainstream and that, you know, conspiracy theorists like binney, they aren't on their own. julian assange, other actors that we know are connected to russian intelligence have actually been pushing this, actually as part of the active measures campaign against the 2016 election. so it's not just sort of a conspiracy theory that popped up out of nowhere. it actually is part of that original sort of active measures information operations against the united states that we really should be trying to push back on, not have the cia director apparently, you know, carry water for and push forward, even further, you know, into 2017 >> and the cia director apparently said, according to binney, go meet with the fbi and the nsa next. >> susan hennessey, thanks so much for bein

hillary and bill up there and you look at benghazi, and you look at the uranium deal, and you look at seth rich and that teenagers thrown on railroad tracks over a drug drop in arkansas when bill was there. look at all the murders and all of the supposedly suicides that nobody can prove. why don't we get in there and clean all of that up and just lay the cards on the table and let him fall where they may? i was a republican and nixon was guilty and i say she should of gone --i say he should of gone. let's do it in the senate, congress, and do the same thing, and i will cameron to you we will be down with half of the people in their. get rid of all of the crooks have put the tea party in, let's go from there and stick to the constitution. do the fair thing, treat them all the same, and as far as the sex thing, everything that do and and the clintons the chopper not the -- and the child pornography, they have all the money and then they left. talk to the president of that country there. host: thank you, surely. -- thank you, shirley. guest: innocent until proven guilty is the legal stance. i thin

it's a website that pushes links to right-wing conspiracies about the seth rich murder, pizzagate, andarts here on twitter. over the holiday weekend, trump tweeted a promo for fox and a dig at cnn and then he apparently scrolled through the replays, where he saw magapill. that's short for make america great again pill. the site was cheering him and touting his accomplishments. trump was impressed, tweeted in response, wow, even i didn't realize we did so much. wish the fake news would report. oh, really? magapill was just an obscure, pro-trump aggregator of articles. but with a presidential thumbs up, its web server crashed. and the president was criticized for, once again, promoting a source of conspiracy theories. >> a lot of these sites are powerful, because there's a kernel of truth. when you look at it, a lot of it is conspiratorial and a lot of it is demonstrably false. these conspiracy-laden charts, they are extreme fringe. now, we don't know if trump clicked through t eed through t fact checked any of its claims, but promoting a little-known big fan like magapill has been a the

i did, seth rich. they don't know what it's like to protect a staff from further harassment. they don't know what it's like because they're -- the high command of brooklyn. the people making the decisions, even for the dnc, they didn't come and work with us. they told us to shut up. and basically let them win the election. when we tried to intervene, we had to spend money we raised to try to help them win. that was my job as chair of the party. >> clear you have no regrets. you mentioned seth richards. killed during the campaign. did you feel under threat? >> every day. especially when donald trump -- donald trump would go out there and tweet. i have worked on campaigns all my adult life. i have been called some of the the worst things in america. when donald trump would attack me, i got the threats were just unbearable. my house right now is -- i every different kind of security device. i had to get my home swept. the dnc swept twice. it was horrible. >> as you know, he's tweeting again, based on your book. he put out, the real story on collusion is in donna b.s' new book. c

[ light laughter ] look at him. he looks like a 5-year-old coming to the sidelines during a soccer practice. "did you see me, mom? i ran over there, and then i ran over there, and then i scored a goal. okay, i'm going to go back." former white house communications director anthony scaramucci is reportedly in talks with publishers about a book chronicling his tenure in the white house. a book?

[ light laughter ]

seth: yeah. >> so, everybody thought i was rich, but i was still broke.n't last, you know i'm saying. [ laughter ] after taxes, i was like, man, yo, i'm a movie star, but i'm a broke star, like what's cracking. then i was making a movie with keanu reeves called "johnny mnemonic" and he had just did the one with the "speed." with sandra bullock. so i'm moving up the chain. and i was like, yo, this is cracking, i'm making things happen. and then i get a call do a movie called "tank girl." first they call me, they say, "we want you to play a stripper in arizona." a stripper? i'm like, hell, yeah. [ laughter and applause ] hell yeah. so that night i did like, 1,000 crunches. i was getting my thing, you know, getting it together, you know. and then the next day they said, they sent me a picture of a kangaroo. i'm like, well, what am i a stripper with a pouch? like what's cracking, like? they said, "no, you're a ripper." i'm like, the movie's called "tank girl"? i'm like, i thought -- i mean am i not with keanu reeves? like what is tank girl kangaroo moves, the

>> seth: well, the other hands aren't up, gary, because when you give rich people more money, their instinctto find ways to give it to somebody else. [ light laughter ] their instinct is to redo the kitchen on their second yacht. [ laughter ] but the real centerpiece of this bill is a giant tax cut for corporations. and in order to pay for that, republicans are rolling back tax deductions that benefit working and middle class people. take, for example, grad students. the house version of the tax plan which passed last week would count their tuition waivers as income. which, of course, would force graduate students to pay thousands of dollars more per year in taxes. you really think grad students are the ones who aren't paying their fair share? have you seen the way they dress? [ laughter ] they look like someone dropped them naked into a salvation army and gave them 90 seconds to pick an outfit. [ laughter ] but, of course, we shouldn't be surprised. trump wants punish those who go to graduate school because some of those students become economists and then 37 out of 38 of them are dicks. [

seth: there is no end to trump's tone deafness. "this tax cut will be great for the middle class. just ask my incredibly rich, under the plan released by house republicans, nearly half of all middle class families would pay more in taxes in 2026 than they would under current roles. and that might explain why the house gop plan is deeply unpopular in polls. 60% say it favors the wealthy and only 33% support it. oh, my god, republicans, how do that's the one thing you guys are supposed to be good at. this should be a slam dunk. you're not billy joel singing "piano man," you're billy joel trying to slam dunk. [ laughter ] so, the house bill is also unpopular. which once again flies in the face of trump's repeated claims that the bill is actually incredibly popular. >> as far as taxes are concerned, you see what's happening. it's really doing well. great enthusiasm. the people of this country want tax cuts. they want lower taxes. and i will say this. wherever i've been, this has been so popular with the people, who are working to give the american people a giant tax cut for christmas. we are giving them a big, b
