and the other day i think he tweeted we're very close. >> tweeted on thanksgiving we've been working on this. >> right. >> the carrots and stick. we don't know which was used in this or some combination thereof. >>> ahead t president elect thinks people who burn the american flag should lose their citizenship or be thrown in jail. and why he decided to start tweeting about that this morning? is it to distract from other issues? and also tonight a live update from gatlinburg, tennessee. raging wild fires have killed at least three. the fight ongoing and the destruction they are causings. fact. advil is not only strong it's gentle on your body too. no wonder doctors and patients have trusted advil... for their tough pains for over 30 years. relief doesn't get any better than this. advil. oh, that's lovely...so graceful. the corkscrew spin, flawless... ...his signature move, the flying dutchman. poetry in motion. and there it is, the "baby bird". breathtaking. a sumo wrestler figure skating? surprising. what's not surprising? how much money heather saved by switching to geico. fifteen m

tweets, again, factually incorrect tweets last night, i kept thinking, doesn't he have like a briefing book on isis to be reading last night at 10:00 or 9:00 or 8:00? >> he's turning those away those briefers. you know that. there's been reports he's not receiving the briefers he's obligated to receive. >> there is a huge amount of information that for him to be absorbing now and thinking about and the fact that he's watching shows -- i appreciate he's watching the show. he doesn't have a nielsen box. it doesn't really help. but what is he doing? >> that was true during the campaign -- >> but i get the campaign -- >> okay. even then he should have been probably been boning up on what's going on. so i think it is concerning that he continues to do this. but in terms of the substance of what he said i think that revoking the citizenship part is very concerning. i oppose -- i believe that people should have -- i believe in the constitutional right of free speech, and so i would have a problem with banning flag burning. but i think that -- >> jeffrey lord over here. >> to alice's point, to

the tweets, not tonight kurnltd tweets. the tweets during the primary, helped him win. he got the elected president of the united states. >> i think the operational day to day, tweet to tweet may be impressive. the timing of these individual tweets may be driven largely by what he is respondsing to in the media. there does seem to be an overall strategy. a multilayered strategy. the it is interestingly contradictory. it is to force media to pay attention to what he wants to us pay attention to. to shift the gaze of the media to stories he doesn't want to focus on. and it is a way to reach around the media and talk directly to his constituency in a way that is often used to deledge it mize sources. and most of these tweets often go to a cultural hot button issues. and i think one of the big questions going forward will be, if donald trump can't deliver the economic turn around that voters in scranton and youngstown did all across the country, how much does he be polarize cultural issues to maintain the affinity with his base if he can't deliver the change he promised. >>

classy. >> he had one good tweet and a bad tweet. the tweet that said the recount is ridiculous. that's a good tweet. the tweet that said i would have won except for the illegal of millions of voters who don't exist, that's a bad tweet. you scored 50% and that's a pretty hypers 10 for him. he should stay there and take a break and get off twitter and leave it alone and start making cabinet appointments and stop dangling mitt romney out there like a worm. >> he is consenting to it, is he not? >> mitt is having dinner with him on tuesday night. either he will offer the secretary of state-ship or he will serve him a dead fish on a plate. >> i don't know. >> he has to get off twitter and get on snap chat. >> no, please, god, no. >> build a wall. >> you can't underestimate trump. he has been out smarting everyone. he is like -- it is to a point where everybody he does it looks crazy. i literally don't even think it is crazy anymore. no, no. wait. something goodwill come out of it. it is ridiculous he made a hat. >> why? >> what do you mean, why? he is the president and making a hat. i

out 13 tweets against voter fraud and the recount. 5 tweets against cnn and jeff zeleny., you won. >> he's also going to carrier air conditioning negotiating for 2,000 jobs to stay here before he takes office. >> in the media world, but not the real world. in the real world, people want their jobs and they're excited he's negotiating these things. >> we should ignore he tweets falsehoods or twaets things that are -- >> no, but i think paul begala said something significant in the last show, donald trump will put out something, and the media interpreteds to follow the shiny object and ignore the less sensational things he's done. the really important things he's done that will give people jobs and money and food on the table for christmas, i think that's most important. >> we have to go, paris. soon learned that one of our ancestors was eastern european. this is my ancestor who i didn't know about. mapping the oceans. where we explore. protecting biodiversity. everywhere we work. defeating malaria. improving energy efficiency. developing more clean burning natural gas. my

that includes not tweeting out, not tweeting angry tweets against our colleague or cnn or "hamilton"hatever. look, when a two-year-old throws a tantrum, he throws himself on the floor and starts kicking and screaming. when 70-year-old donald trump throws a tantrum, he goes to twitter. it is time somebody gives him his medication. he has tweeted out five tweets against cnn in the last hour. >> seriously? >> in is a man that has 4,000 positions to fill, a cabinet to fill, intelligence briefings to attend and he has tweeted out 13 tweets against inexistent voter fraud and recount, five tweets against cnn. come on, you're president-elect, dude, you won, you are president-elect. act like it. >> he's also going to carrier air conditioner and negotiating for 2,000 jobs to stay here before he even takes the white house. >> correct. >> saving jobs before he gets there. >> i agree with you, but these other things over shadow that. >> in the media world but not the real world. >> that's right. >> i think in the real world people want their jobs and they're excited he's negotiating these things.

well here's his tweet.ddition to winning the electoral college in a slandslide i won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally. there's absolutely no evidence to support that. right now, hillary clinton is leading the popular vote by nearly 2 million votes.

journalists about how much do we cover these tweets, how much are these tweets meant to be a distractionre pressing issues about donald trump, about various policy proposals or decisions he might make as commander in chief. look, what i would say is, you know, there are a lot of people in the media. the media's 24 hours a day, seven days a week. there's room for both. i think you have to focus on what donald trump says. i think it would be a mistake not to. just like we have to focus on everything president obama says, even if he says it in an interview as opposed to through his twitter account. but we can't let up on focusing on the issues that donald trump doesn't want to talk about. that is the role of the press. to make sure we prioritize the issues that are important as we see them and as the american people see them. >> so maria, maybe trump sends out these tweets just to make people like you really angry. >> actually, it makes people like me and others who didn't vote for trump really worried and embarrassed in terms of what kind of president of the united states he's going to be.

yesterday the president elect tweeting there was se hampshire and california. voting officials in the states saying it was not the case. donald trump later tweeted -- i won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally. a claim no credible election officials or politician has supported. >> i think it's comical. >> reporter: for voters like erin and jaime the tweets are not surprising. >> it bothers me some of his tweets that he would say that. absolutely. >> reporter: one possible source of trump's claim -- a web site called info wars. conspiracy theories such as the claim that the massacre at sandy hook elementary school was faked by the anti-gun movement. shortly after this election it falsely claimed millions voted illegally. is it concerning to you that the president-elect tweets out information like this that is false? >> yes. i mean it's checks and ba it's more sort of antics from him that are the reasons people didn't like him. >> andy voted for trump and says he doesn't take claims like these too seriously, but what about a m

is there any doubt that when he tweets that he doesn't truly believe in what he's tweeting? i don't think any of us -- >> he has gone back on a lot of things. at that moment, i believe he believes it. >> right. and what do we trade? instance in markets. we trade that moment in time. we don't trade yesterday or tomorrow. we trade what's happening. >> preelection, however. preelection. the chances he was going to be the president were obviously slim. right? >> nobody bought, yeah. >> so a lot of the tweets that he put out there probably had less of an effect. now, don't you feel like -- if he goes there, they will have the same type of effect as what hillary did, because she was going to win the presidency. >> so the house and senate and you say things -- >> right. it has extra meaning. at this point, it sounds like you are a believer there could be a trump tweet bomb in the making sometime soon to hit this market. >> i'm not saying he's going there. >> you don't have to believe the house and the senate agree with his tweets. just because he doesn't have the divided government

when trump has an enemy she tweets at them. when hillary has an enemy she gets them fired and gets private investigators after them and kills them and has it look like a suicide. i would rather people send out nasty tweets. like fdr had fire side chats, this is the 21st century of that. let people attack him and let his fans and voters know these are not objective journalists. they are the enemy and they have to be treated as such. >> you take us back to the old days. we haven't talked about hillary in about a week. i was reminiscing. >> she's back. >> what do you think? it is a modern form of communication. he says it is where it is at. >> i tweet late at night to relax. i do it with my pants off. i think trump should try that. it worked for wiener. we know that. >> it didn't work for him. >> i am making a joke, thank you. >> little larry over here. >> do you think the trump transition is in disarray? >> i think the "new york times" are failing. >> he is so prophetic. >> he likes to tweet. like the guy said, larry? >> yes. >>

very clear that this is a man who likes twitter, likes to tweet. he tweeted about the protests.ng it on the media. this morning, trying to strike a different tone. this morning, president-elect donald trump tweeting, love the fact that the small group of protesters last night have passion for our great country. we will all come together and be proud. after calling the protests against his victory unfair, tweeting overnight that they are professional protesters

now to the tweet and trump. a number of critics are calling this tweet a bright shiny object.esting it's a distraction from trump's unfounded allegations of voter fraud or even perhaps a diversion from the cabinet picks he is making right now in his twrransition t become our 45th president. whatever the reasoning, the tweet brings up important constitutional issues about the first amendment and the man to discuss them with is jeff rye to be bin and -- jeffrey toobin. we've heard from senator mccain, senator cruz, no one wants to see the american flag burned. >> of course. >> it's a deplorable act but you are protected within the first amendment. have people challenged that through the years? i imagine it has a checkered past. >> it was a hot issue in the '80s and '90s, flag burning. that was a big social issue people talked about a lot but the court settled the issue in 1989 and '90 with these very clear opinions that said as mump as we find this behavior distasteful, it's protected by the first amendment. there have been occasional discussions of constitutional amendments to

. >> trump has shared tweets from supporters who are hitting our senior washington jeff zel zells tweetaying he's pathetic. i it's pathetic! yeah! seriously, congrats to that keen teenage boy, just been named secretary of statement fantastic. and this whole thing with trump leads me to a question. have you ever argued with a toddler? if you have, you've probably lost that argument or killed a toddler. either way, you didn't win the argument because you can't win an argument against a toddler. toddlers will say the most odd landish (bleep) and the more you argue, the more enstretched they are in their views. a toddler will say anything, like my daddy is the strongest man in the world! no he's not. yeah, he is! no he's not. yeah, he is. prove it! you're, like, i can't prove it. he's, like, i told you! ( laughter ) the reason i'm saying this is over the course of the election season, we've come to realize there is a good chance that president-elect trump might have the mind of a toddler. ( laughter ) if you think about it, it makes sense. he loves the same things toddlers do. they like bui

one problem, not all his tweets are true.alveaux tonight keeping him honest. >> reporter: donald trump is spreading false claims about the election he won. the president-elect tweeting "in addition to winning the electoral college in a landslide, i won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally." trump who now trails hillary clinton by more than 2 million votes in the latest national count, offering no evidence to back up his statement about millions of illegal ballots. >> unbelievable. >> reporter: echoing themes from his campaign. >> it is a rigged system, and be careful with the voting. be careful with everything. >> reporter: trump is raising unfounded allegations of voter fraud in three states he lost. tweeting, "serious voter fraud in virginia, new hampshire and california. so why isn't the media reporting on this? serious bias. big problem." leaders in all three states pushed back saying their elections were fair. some trump allies are urging him to let it go. >> he is the president-elect

more tweets. if you want to know why trump won, it's probably because the "washington journal" thinks a lot of people are thinking about a broadway play. hmm. that from sea of tranquility. and carol says it's inappropriate to go to an entertainment event for a cast nobe make a political comment. let's go next to bill, also on independent line, joining us from illinois. good morning, bill. your thoughts on all of this. caller: good morning, c-span. i would just like everybody to think what would have been said if a white actor would have said that to president obama. to me, this was racist, and the actor should have stopped after he said thank you for coming. and this is getting ridiculous with the left. just like the previous caller before had said. this has to stop. people have to understand that the public spoke, the electoral college voted in our president and our vice president, and that's it. thank you. host: thank you. another viewer saying the nonwhites taking their anger out on pence when

very clear that this is a man who likes twitter, likes to tweet. he tweeted about the protests. first blaming it on the media. this morning, trying to strike a different tone. this morning, president-elect donald trump tweeting, love the fact that the small group of protesters last night have passion for our great country. we will all come together and be proud. after calling the protests against his victory unfair, tweeting overnight that they are professional protesters incited by the media. this as largely peaceful protesters across the country take to the streets for the second night in a row. the anger boiling over in portland. police classifying it as a riot. a stark contrast to the pageantry at the white house earlier in the day. trump speaking with president obama for an hour and a half inside the oval office. >> we talked about foreign policy. we talked about domestic policy. and, as i said last night, my number one priority in the coming two months is to try to facilitate a transition that ensures our president-elect is successful. >> reporter: the pair striking a conc

just tweet only. >> reporter: local president chuck jones says he was shocked by trump's tweet. and tells me if a deal can be reached, he expects his members will be asked for concessions. would the union be flexible? >> what our goal is, and always has been, to try to save 1,400 people's jobs. >> reporter: when it comes to negotiating with carrier, jones knows a thing or two and suggests that trump hit the company right where it hurts. defense contracts. in 2014, alone, carrier's parent company, united technologies, won $3.39 billion worth of government contracts, working on everything from fighter jets to missile defense systems. >> if he's got a card to play, it would be something to the extent of, hey, you know, if you move these jobs to monterey, mexico, we're going to take a hard stand on you getting anymore military contracts. >> reporter: you think that could get their attention? >> i would think it would get their attention, yeah, because you're talking about bs, billions. >> reporter: but carrier worker edward conway says he's not getting his hopes up. when itlecomes t

he was tweeting about it.that some guy who had strong opinions about if the dude from twilight should break up with his girlfriend, we shouldn't cover that as news. that's another way to judge trump's tweets. >> the only one i know is the gene hackman movie. he slates the gist. thanks for joining us and over to hampton pearson for the market wrap. >> market is closing mixed after news of a production cut. the dow gaining and the s&p losing five and the nasdaq dropping 56 points. that's it from cnbc, first in business worldwide. will your business be ready when growth presents itself? american express open cards can help you take on a new job, or fill a big order or expand your office and take on whatever comes next. find out how american express cards and services can help prepare you for growth at open.com. find out how american all finished.umm...ervices you wouldn't want your painter to quit part way. i think you missed a spot. so when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day? aleve, l

p.a.b., another tweet from maggie haberman. live tweets coming in. rather do the popular vote, trump says. i think we'd do as well or better, says he was never a fan of the electoral college. won the electoral college. why he'll be the president of the united states. he's losing the pom popular vote by about a million and a half popular, argument has been i would have won the popular vote if i'd have gone to california, gone to new york. where so many people live. gone to texas. i never campaigned there, and as a result, the popular vote is not that important. >> well, he can say that. he is going to probably lose by projections by 2 million vote, popular vote loss and he won this election by 107,000 in three states. she literally lost by jill stein's margin alone. more a story of her epic defeat than really of him having a resounding victory. he won with 47% of the country in a four-way race, told by democrats he doesn't have a mandate and feeling defensive. yes, true, he could have campaigned for the popular vote. but the truth remains that he lost

one of her last tweets said, tonight, we have no house, it's bombed. she later wrote, i got minor injury. i didn't sleep since yesterday. i am hungry. i want to live. bana's home was near a northern park in aleppo where rebel defenses collapsed. rights groups say the rebels have lost a third of their territory in aleppo since saturday. we managed to speak to bana's mother tonight who said her daughter is okay and now sleeping but that the situation in aleppo is desperate. >> aleppo is bleeding. really it's bleeding. aleppo, it's suffering very much. >> reporter: tod civilians celebrating as they left rebel areas and changed -- syria wants to show aleppo is being liberated. activists say they and the city are being decimated. the syrian regime has long maintained if it can retake all of aleppo, syria's second city, it will break the back of the resistance. tonight, it looks like that may happen. lester? >> all right, richard engel, thank you. >>> still ahead, packages right off doorsteps as millions of americans shop for cyber monday deals. the new way

>> facts and figures have never stopped donald trump from tweeting whatever he wants to tweet. i think he is irritated by this recount. i think it got under his skin. we know when something is irritating to donald trump he can't let go of it. so he has been on a tweet storm today about that. i think it's counter productive. let it go. don't give it importance. the huge likelihood is it's not going to change the results whatsoever. why give it more oxygen? by him tweeting out against it he is letting america know he is really bothered by it and he can't restrain or discipline himself to focus on the matters at hand. here he is again chasing the shi shiney object. >> he is president-elect. why do you think this seems to be getting under his skin so much? >> i think he is bothered by it. the biggest thing is in a debate they asked him if he would honor it. he said i have got questions about it and i may challenge it. hillary clinton was in her support of whatever happens we'll support it. if i were the person that was president-elect i would be p perturbed too. when she was so in

and trump tweeted our future v.p. was harassed by the cast of "hamilton." cameras blazing. this should not happen. and the actress that blaze blur thanked mike pence. >> we, sir, we are the diverse america who are alarmed and anxious at your new administration will not protect us. our children, our parents defend us and i would truly hope this show inspired you to uphold our american values and to work on behalf of all of us, all of us. >> trump also tweeting this morning about the $25 million settlement in all three of the lawsuits against trump university. he tweeted this, i settled the trump university lawsuit for a small fraction of the potential award because as president i have to focus on our country. one of the cases had been scheduled to start in just two weeks. the deal does not require trump to acknowledge wrong doing, and he said during the campaign he would not settle. later today he will hold one of his most high profile meetings since winning the election, his meeting with mitt romney, and it becomes amid reports that romney is being tapped for secretary of s

let's get into some of the incendiary tweets donald trump sent out.st he claimed millions of people voted illegally. i won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people that voted illegally. what is your reaction? >> i think we can call it a bald faced, boldfaced lie. donald trump needs to focus on governing and running the country instead of sending out and following these twitter wars. every moment, every breath. but this brings up another point. donald trump, we can see the fervor in which he tweets about voter fraud which is a flatout lie. we can see the fervor in which he attacks jeff zeleny, the fervor at which he tweets various and sundry things, but not the fervor for everyone asking him to repudiate the hate attacks going on, don't see it when asking him to dedicate energy to bringing the country together. we don't see that same fervor when we talk about up lifting the ideas that make this country great. when people question about what more we want him to do, i want him to repudiate the hateful attacks going on in this country the sam

. >>> tweet to tweet. let's play "hardball." >>> good evening, i'm chris matthews in washington. throughout the campaign whenever donald trump was down, he knew he could rally his base by saying or tweeting something provocative, something many in the mainstream press would call crazy. well, the campaign is over but president-elect donald trump seems to be following the same pattern. since winning he's attacked the media, gone after protesters and said millions of people illegally voted. today we awoke to a new tweet. trump wrote, nobody should be allowed to burn the american flag. if they do, there should be consequences, perhaps loss of citizenship or a year in jail. well, to repeat trump's earlier declaration of another matter, there needs to be some form of punishment. trump seems to be responding to his story about military veterans protesting a flag being burnt on the campus of hampshire college in massachusetts. they recently said burning a flag is protected by the first amendme amendment. justice antonin scalia defended their right to do it. he said, if it were up to me,

donald trump tweeted. quote, if cuba is unwilling to make a better deal for the cuban people, the cuban american people and the u.s. as a whole i will terminate the deal. there you go. you wondered what was going to happen to cuban-american relations with president-elect trump. he may have told you. we'r gng to take you to cuba where a memorial for the legendary and controversial leader fidel castro is just getting under way. moment ago, a 21-gun salute kicked off this nine-day period of mourning following castro's death friday night. you're looking right now at live images of thousands of people who are expected to pay respects at revolution plaza where his ashes will remain for the next two days. in havana, gabe gutierrez, talk to us about the scene. somber, surely? >> we just heard the 21-gun salute and we have been seeing people lined up here in revolution square throughout the morning. just being let in now. not only are they here to offer condolences but they're also signing a ledger pledging loyalty

the tweets?y times they're not true. >> she probably doesn't know -- i felt it was a distraction from conflicts of interest, from the bloomberg article, about the state controlled bank of china which is his largest tenant having to renegotiate. i think donald trump is just a scared man, i think he's scared someone is going to take this away from him, and he's tweeting in reaction to this. >> okkayleigh we talked about this, serious bias, big problem. is he at risk of undermining his own legitimacy. >> i don't think so, to paris' point he made the last hour, you have people trying to delegitimize the president-elect of the united states right now. not only saying you lost the popular vote over and over again. he would have won it, because he would have campaigned definitely. you have people out there calling for recounts that are unsubstantiated. you have jill stib coming on our knelt work suggesting there were hacks or potentially hacks and we won't know until we count the votes. >> why would he

-- everybody tweets stupid things sometimes.re's been this pattern and i've known national security advisors going back to the amazing brent skocroft, the republican. there are so many smart republican strategists who would do a great job and to pick somebody who is really regarded with in the foreign policy establishment as unstable and to think of that person navigating a north korea crisis, or china crisis is frightening. >> let's talk. you said -- in the intelligence community, he has somewhat of a complicated background, but most of his military career, he's seen as an astute biintelligenc officer. he served multiple tours in iraq and afghanistan. he's been part of a flame flower calling president oba -- flame thrower calling president obama a liar. >> a few years ago, i would have thought heating gre'd be greate job. he reminds me of dick cheney, who really knew his stuff and after 9/11 became a different dick chainy and mike flynn has become a different and it sure seems an unstable mike flynn and i fear he's the one who

and he just tweeted out, anybody who does that, by god, they should go to jail. viscerally and that's going to be the solving of problems. >> this wasn't somebody at west someone at hampshire college, an edgy college that's a bit to the kind of behavior wasn't considered offbeat or even out of line at a place like that. it was considered a righteous statement of indignation they didn't like the result of and they have the right to do that. reaction by trump to see on fox news because it's going to rile up conservatives who don't like to see that. he's done this so many times, and understands when he comes no constitutional expert, but amendment, it's the 14th amendment. citizenship and saying this is over the line -- he's driving that wedge. he's saying to people who don't like seeing a flag burn, i'm with you. somehow seeming like they're defending flag burning when actually they're defending the constitution. that you can't outlaw flag burning and you can't strip someone of their citizenship under the 14th amendment. if you were born here, you're a citizen here

the fop tweeting the officer is expected to survive. the suspect's condition and identity is yet to be confirmed. >> west of ft. myers, a police officer was sitting in his patrol car following a routine traffic stop and someone pulled up and began firing. the officer was taken to the hospital and released. this is the first time in the history of the sanibel police department that an officer was shot. >>> and the shooting death of the 50-year-old police officer was a targeted intentional killing. benjamin marconi was targeted outside a traffic stop. hours ago, san antonio police released a picture of a man who may have information about the murder. we have more from polo sandoval. >> reporter: police in the middle of the manhunt. trying to track down the person for persons responsible for the shooting death of the 20-year veteran of the force. the traffic stop outside the police department, filling out a citation of a driver and a third vehicle pulled up along him and the person getting out of the car and walking up to the passenger sid

it undermines more than just a single tweet. gingrich also said there was no evidence that millions of people voted fraudulently. >> the selection of congressman tom price as the health and human services secretary sends a powerful message that donald trump is very serious about going hard and trying to repeal and replace obamacare. >> it does indeed, wolf. fewer house republicans are more interested in dismantling the affordable care act than tom price. a georgia republican congressman and physician. he has long advocated a plan that would, as he said, take washington out of the health care business. his plan has called for some tax credits among other things. it would not preserve a few things trump as talked about in keeping obamacare, like preexisting conditions and allowing children up to age 27 to stay on the plan. but it's clear obamacare will be on the chopping block, the replacement will be debated for its specifics, but tom price has his plan in mind and republicans on capitol hill say he will be quickly confirmed. wol

take a look...this is one of many tweets causing controversy. she tweeted this over the weekend of her doing a nazi salute. tequila has also made it clear on social media she supports president- elect donald trump...her facebook profile picture shows her wearing a trump hat. an suv smashes into a wall-- but only 13 action news is getting the bizzare details from a witness who watch this wild argument. russel allen, witness 21:36:55-21:37:02 "like i said she was hanging on the hood of the vehicle that hit that wall at a high rate of speed i wouldn't think she'd be alive." police say a man and woman got into a fight, and the man tried to take off... but the woman grabbed onto the roof and held on for several blocks. eventually he crashed near d-i and paradise. both of them had to be taken to the hospital, but they are sick of dealing with a flooding mess in his home and yard every time it rains-- one man is now turning to 13 action news for help. take a look at the muddy mess left behind at jody madewell's home in overton after it rained yesterday

i haven't heard hillary clinton herself tweet, say, make any remarks about this. you know, has the captain left the ship here? course >> you've seen my desk. i cut out those newspaper headlines thinking back on these big moments >> i have seen your desk. it's a scary place. >> there's a lot of newspaper there >> pinned up on the wall >> one of the headline it's pinned up on the wall, trump won't vowel to honor results. remember that moment after that debate when people went crazy. >> what she said was it was horrifying to hear him say on campaign appearance that is he would not accept the results of the election. she conceded the day after the election, president obama has brought him into the oval office, he's talked about this smooth transition. what the end goal here is? is beyond me besides the fact that jill stein seems to be raising more money for this recont effort than she did for her own presidential campaign. this begs the question. who is making the wheels spin on this? if jill stein is doing better on this recount issue than she was on her own presiden
