translation: it wasn't easy, but the difficulties that we had faced unified us. s to discover huge reserves of our capacities to move forward. the main thing is that we believe in ourselves, in our strength, in our country. barack obama has given his new year message. he took the opportunity to talk about his lecacy as us president. we have made extraordinary progress as a country these past eight years, and here's the thing — none of it was inevitable. it was the result of tough choices we made and the result of your hard work and resilience. and to keep america moving forward is a task that falls to all of us. sustaining and building on all we have achieved, from helping more young people afford higher education, to ending discrimination based on pre—existing conditions, to tightening rules on wall street, to protecting this planet for our kids — that's going to take all of us working together. because that's always been our story. the story of ordinary people coming together in the hard, slow, sometimes frustrating, but always vital work of self—government. it

we need to do is, first we want to get 270 electors to vote for an alternative candidate who will unify us't matter to me if a democrat, republican or independent. what's important is that we have a candidate that will unify all of that, and that it's not a present danger to our country. mr. trump, if he becomes commander in chief, he will, i believe, shehe is a real danger our country, his remarks and revelations just revealed by the cia today regarding russia proves that point. so we have -- >> who are you suggesting people vote for? can anyone take this slot? >> well, they certainly can. you know, we as electors, there are 538 of us. now, certainly, you know, i'm kmi committed to hillary clinton as an elector. rather, i should say my state voted for her and i would love to see 37 republicans support her. i don't think that's going to happen. so i'm willing in the cause of unity and because i love my country, i'm willing to vote for whomever the republican electors would, could agree upon. you know, i think it's time for a unity approach. an approach will democrats and republicans come t

our values unify us and our values are about supporting america's working families.t is one everyone is in agreement on. what we want is better connection of our message to, to working families in our country and that clearly, in the election showed that that message wasn't coming through. kennedy: perhaps clearly they need new leadership, if there is disconnect not only in the supposedly unifying message but also the way that message is put forth, then why isn't she being held accountable for that loss. >> kennedy, i know you're a expert but is haight-ashbury in her district? kennedy: in san francisco, i believe it is in her purview. >> we're back on marijuana again. kennedy: speak for yourself. [laughter]. >> there is an old saying when your enemy is committing suicide doesn't interfere. i think why many leading republican political figures said if they want to reelegitimate her to be minority leader in the house by all means let them do it. i think, normally you look at an election disaster like they have had for eight years, look at the barack obama's done fine b

our values unify us, and our values are about supporting america's working families. that is one that everyone is in agreement on. trish: actually, that was from just this past sunday, but she's been saying that over and over and over again. i mean, that's been the whole thing, right? working families? but you know what? working families, they sure don't feel like they've been supported in the last eight years, which is why the democrats lost, isn't it? joining me right now, washington examiner senior political columnist tim carney. tim, good to see you. what's happening to the democratic party? where are the new faces? >> well, they've known for a while that they had a shallow bench. that was one of the concerns coming into the 2016 election, and, in fact, they had trouble recruiting some good candidates. but the consolation prize was going to be that for four or eight years they had the white house. they'd be able to build up a bench through cabinet jobs, through just the power of the presidency. well, that's not there, and now they're in the real trouble, and as na

and helped inform our colleagues in a way that's helped us to actually get legislation passed by unifying us. well, suffice it to say, senator coats is a true diplomat wherever he goes, and this chamber has been a better, more civil place with him in it. now, i know dan would be the first to tell you his decades of public service was made possible because of the equal partner he has in his wife marsha. they met in college and have been married more than 50 years and are a great example to all of us. so thanks to marsha and their children and grandchildren for sharing dan all these years. now, i have a suspicion that senator coats doesn't have it in him to step totally away from public srvetion and there's been -- public service, and there's been some news and discussion about whether he might be in the running for another important position, perhaps in the next administration. but i know we all look afford to seeing where he goes -- but i know we all look forward to seeing where he goes next to serve our country, which we know is so important to him. mr. president, i'd also like tocy assay a

. >> there's this thing in us, there's this thing in this country that's good and unifies us. i will argue that in part very cynically somebody like a mitch mcconnell or roger ailes at fox news, i think, specifically mobilized a backlash to this vision. >> well, is he correct? richard, democratic strategist and former clinton adviser, welcome to you both. fox news for years has been on his and the administration's mind, anita, 2010, blaming fox news. part of the problem is fox news is in every bar and restaurant in every part of the country and he's still on this theme, why do you think he's so bugged? >> i think he goes to the worst bars and restaurants in america. nothing against fox news i would rather be watching the giants and the mets in a restaurant than you guys. i think he's on the steam in part because he he can can't find explanation why the country isn't rallying behind him. he drank his own kool-aid, the fact that he was able to bring -- win to elections and wasn't able to pass anything through the congress after first couple of years, i think he literally is shoc

you find there are more unifying pieces for us on a host of issues both social -- social policies oflusion are not a damaging piece with a suburban, urban coalition. are a bigg they opportunity to drive a wedge between suburban and rural. sorry talking about wedge of politics that way. second, there is more structurey on it for investment, training, universities, quality-of-life issues that should be a natural dialogue. to me that is a good policy. they are fundamentally good politics. bruce katz: we are getting to the policy next -- mix. i think that as we move forward, this is a reflection on the u.s. -- we are going from hard the past six years, a lot of stuff happened in 2009 and 2010. its and piecesis of legislation denali federal double. -- level -- bits and pieces on the federal level. the question is, you are just with the president-elect on wednesday, where are those areas where this point we do really need to stand ground? because there is a fundamental difference of opinion and a dimmick -- different demographic between the major cities. you delivered a letter to the presi

unified? guest: i think you will see us unified because when you see what is happening on the notblican side, they have super majorities in the house and senate. we picked up six seats. in the senate they will probably have 52 senators so they cannot break the filibuster. i think it is a little closer than most people think, although losing the presidency was a usgh one because so many of -- hillary clinton when my district with 70% of the vote in an urban district in houston. we have bigger turnouts than we ever had in my career. it is frustrating, but we deal with it. lost, thecrats have lowest since 1929. how do you brought in the appeal? guest: i think that is part of my job and also the democratic senators, to talk about we have a president who is probably going to be an unprecedented president. we have never had a president who tweeted like he does. that is good for open government , but it is also unusual. trump isident-elect inaugurated, we will deal with it. i have served under a lot of different presidents and governors so we will work with him, worked with him when we can. host: do

making it too easy for us to see ourselves as distinct groups and not unified as a whole. we're not unified. we're going to be. washington's politicians has spent so long appealing to competing interests, they have forgotten how to appeal to the national interests, combining the skills and talents of our people in a common cause. we have unbelievable talent. but that is all about to change. our goal is to strengthen the bonds of trust between citizens to restore our sense of membership and a shared national community. global is wonderful, but right now we want to focus on our national community. never again will anyone's interest come before the interests of the american people. t's not going to happen again. over the last two weeks since our vicktry, i have spoken to many foreign leaders. and i will tell you they have such respect for us. they all tell me how this was amazing. they all tell me how they said in their magnificent rooms in different countries throughout the world, these are the leaders, the prime ministers, the presidents, all of them, how they sat in their

unifying. this is trump. none of us should be surprised by it. uple of lines in the speech about unifying the country. and i -- it's something he didn't say a lot during the campaign. now president-elect, he is saying it now, but he can't resist. it's a victory lap, and he loves talking about the campaign, because he won, and at a certain point i think he'll move -- he'll move away from that when he's going to take to the bully pulpit to win on issues and what struck me about that speech is, as i watched it, this is what he's going to do during his presidency. much like ronald reagan did, except for so. has a fight with congress, somebody else will play the inside game. maybe mike pence. he'll play the outside game and take the fight directly to the people. >> these events, these rallies during the year and a half running for the republican nominati nomination, then in the general election. they clearly generate a lot of energy. he'll do a bunch more in the coming days? >> more like teddy roosevelt. put the bully in bully pulpit and take his campa

and then we find a more unifying pieces for us. you know, the social policies of inclusion are not a damaging piece with the suburban-urban coalition. there's a huge opportunity to drive ale wedge between suburban and rural. sorry if i'm talking about politics that way. second, is there's more commonl aity on infrastructure investment and on training and universities an equal of life issues that should be a natural dialogue. to me that's not only the right policies, they are good policies, there are fundamentally good politics to get one plus one. >> so we're getting to the policy mix here. and yet, i think as we move forward we're going. and this is a reflection on the united states. we're going from sort of hard gridlock over the past six years. a lot of stuff happened in 2009 and 2010. but since then there are bits and pieces of legs that have been done at the federal level. and we're moving essentially to other first hundred days potentially an aggressive, ambitious agenda that can move through a republican controlled congress

it's a good thing he's using it to be unifying at least in speech. trump needs to acknowledge that he released very ugly things in american society. an ugly underbelly. it used to be shameful to be a bigot and he allowed it. he promoted it. he peddled in it during his rallies and campaign. i'm not saying he invented it but he promoted it and he has to take responsibility. him calling for unity and saying that we're all together in this, he's right, we're all together in this. it's going to make it easier on all of us, including him as the one that going to be governing. the polarization in america today is one of our biggest national problems. but there's a lot more than he can do than just read things off a teleprompter. for example, he can go -- he's got a couple more cabinet seats to fill. i haven't seen one hispanic be named to this cabinet or to a high level position in his administration yet. it would go a long way if we could see a representative government in a trump administration. in all, the different levels of government. >> alice, do you

unified? guest: i think you will see us unified because when you see what is happening on the notblican side,hey have super majorities in the house and senate. we picked up six seats. in the senate they will probably have 52 senators so they cannot break the filibuster. i think it is a little closer than most people think, although losing the presidency was a usgh one because so many of -- hillary clinton when my district with 70% of the vote in an urban district in houston. we have bigger turnouts than we ever had in my career. it is frustrating, but we deal with it. lost, thecrats have lowest since 1929. how do you brought in the appeal? guest: i think that is part of my job and also the democratic senators, to talk about we have a president who is probably going to be an unprecedented president. we have never had a president who tweeted like he does. that is good for open government , but it is also unusual. trump isident-elect inaugurated, we will deal with it. i have served under a lot of different presidents and governors so we will work with him, worked with him when we can. host: do y

us forward. i think it is a good day for the democrats unifying and going forward.lso craft a message that can relate to all americans going forward. john: congressman, i appreciate the answer, but it did not really answer my question. what did you think about the block voting against her? >> i look at it like those that voted for her. i look at it as the fact that she had still overwhelming support in her party. i think the people that voted against her will step up and help us in a all hands on deck effort to shape what is next. mark: congressman, thank you for being on. can you think of any issues in which leader pelosi is more liberal van working-class voters? >> they want an economy that is going to work for all of us. i think the work they did around wall street reform matters do -- to working-class people. they just want a fair shot. right now, you are seeing donald trump putting out a plan to unravel dodd-frank. instead of draining the swamp, he is replacing it with recycled water. by putting wall street executives and d.c. insiders in his cabinet. i think o
