you had told me we would winou w virginia by a bigger margin than president obama did, and we and would win the popular vote byy 3 million votes and still lose,l i would have said i'm in the ine sure that's possible.hat's ssib but that's the electoral elector college. that's the system we have. the . >> what was your conversationwat with hillary clinton like that t night election night?ight >> a number of conversations.io so, you know, we were --w >> after you found out she would not be president of the unitedsi states what was the conversation. >> hillary is a very resilient person. i mean she has dealt with anea awful lot in her life. life. painful situations, dif situations. and she's got to philosophicalal perspective, you know, if you, u you've been given a lot of lot opportunities and a lot of goodd things have happened to you andp that's theened case, but you alo have to accept, you know, the tough things. i love my fate to the very coolc and right-hand. it's not all fruit. fit there's core and right-hand,ighn too. hillary understands that. that so we talked that night and obviously deeply disappointedap but she had an understanding oft it, and then the next morning m
7:34 am
introduce me i want to give a a concession speech. speh. the norm the presidentialdentl candidate gives a concession con speech with no introduction.ducn will you introduce me? i was ss glad i got to because i can sayy things about her that shet wouldn't say about herself, ande that she didn't say aboutut herself but i was glad i wasladw able to look, i'm proud to be oe this ticket.t. i'm proud to be hillary'slary friend. i'm proud that she, you know,at won the popularyo vote. v that she made history as the a first woman nominee of any party -- of any major the country's history. hisry while we didn't quite get theret i'm proud of the effort and, umu and we're continuing to, youo, know, to be together. tet we'll do some thank you eventsvt together here in the next couplp of weeks, and but there hadn'tt been a have a yann on a nationaa ticket a virginian politicalit figure since 1840 and so thatndo was also kind of a cool thing t just in terms of a little homehe pride.prid >> right. ot putn thut on the ticket partly because of me, but i alss put on the ticket partly because
7:35 am
it was important from 1780 to 1840 in national politic. pol it was unimportant for many forn years. virginia is important again toat both parties it's important.. both parties competed hard for f virginia and that will be thelle case going forward and i'm prour of that.wa of t >> let's talk -- we hate to harr on the election but having youco here is amazing to get into --n >> you guys are my first lifeirl interview way local station hern in d.c. .c >> love it. love it. let me ask you aboutlo this t recount evident.dent what are your thoughts on this?h >> well, you know, the clintonli team looked at the votes and looked at recount and we're nott going to pursue it, but when jill stein want one of the thiri party candidates decided to doeo it if there's going to be agoine recount we have to be at theweat table to make sure it's done doe right. that it's done fairly. fairl you know, i do think people are entitled to know that thethat t results are results that they tt can trust and that they canha count on. coun so if there's a recount, we havv to be at the table, and we are. and, you know, i think people pe are entitled to know that thetht results are fair. f
7:36 am
things during the campaign obviously, um ---- >> there were a lot of odd o things during this campaign.pa >> even with respect to voting.s during the summer, you know, you have the intelligence agencies e of the united states saying, sin that the government of russiaf i was trying to influence the outh come of the election especially hacking into a couple of stateol boards of elections.elect the boards of elections inardsel arizona and illinois. so if there's questions about was there some influence, it'sci important to put those to bed.. and we're very doubtl and yet it is important fortaor people to know the results are results they can trust. can trut >> i'm curious what your take is just because of the way thatau this entire campaign went, it'ss different from what lot of lot o people i think had seen inee i american politics leading up tot now. and for that reason alone it will stand out in history presidential elections.ions but when it comes to things like the recount now there are thoseo who say, look, thisw person wan elected by the democratic process.oces it should be left alone at this
7:37 am
from more people in either ehe positive or in negative ways i'm sure than you ever heard beforer represent having a have a now ah someone attempting to represent the entire nteatiomptin.ion. >> yeah.>> y >> what does that do for the future of politics? what does that do for the future of working together trying to haveo cohesive now on both sides ofido the aisle when there was a lot l of just it seemed like it's myy person, your person and there ii no middle ground?d? >> well, the most important ior thing that all of us can do whatever our role is to play tht role we can and reach across aisle. here's what i'm proud of.'s wha i came back to the senate thethe week after the election, and i i introduced a bill with marco rubio is bill to battle againstt anti semitism which is somethinm we're seeing sadly on thee seeig increase around the world. so i partnered with a republicai to put in a bill about a topic c think is really important. yesterday we finish the conference.conferen i'm on the armed services committee the single biggeste sg thing i work on every year is ya
7:38 am
bipartisan and i signedig conference report as a democratic member in the minority and bipartisan billsanb that likely will pass conferencc report in the house in the nextx day or two and in the next next ekek. the most important thing we cana do in whatever role we play jusa go right back to work, and findd areas of common cause. c there's going to be areas wherer i disagree with the president.re president trump just like i'veev disagreed with president obamada who is a friend of mine.e president trump's first action i've disagreed with he asked thk house don' bill this year. instead punt it into next year.y i said that's really bad.y it's really bad for the nation's defense.defense you said that you were going to be a prowe militreary presidentb by pushing off doing a budget in december and appropriations bil which we should do, we have the time to do it, and saying no,g let's do it in march, let's dold it in april, let's do it in may, you're actually hurting the nation's defense.efen so here's my goal coming back i going to advance everywhere weew can and work with my colleaguesg in congress to do that acrossats

7:40 am
services committee and there'sne no state that's more connecteds to the nation's military mission than virginia, and i'm one of'me two senators have a child in thn military so this is like really personal to me, too. so this is an area where, youyou know -- the good news this is pretty bipartisan.san senator mccain our committee chair he and i work he we get g along great, we disagree on soms things bust we agree on most.. so i think back to your point,, steve, which is okay eye after a an election that was, you know, that was a divided one and every presidential election means thaa afterwards we've got to comee together but this one may be may more than most i'm happy i havev to place to play in the senatehs i'm on committee like armedike d services and foreign relationsio and the aging committee we sends to be bipartisan we can promote bipartisan solutions that's whah i'm trying to do.i' >> let me ask you about thate a though. i know as far as the future plans for senator tim kaine, asa you've said that you really reay don't want to be president innt 2020 but do you want to continuu to be senator in 218.n >> i do. you'll have a big target on youn now because of this push of gopg

7:43 am
7:44 am
7:45 am
>> yes. >> i want to get to this, t because we're dealing withaling proposal that might stop service earlier and also metro is saying, hey, jurisdictionssdicts local -- you got to put money iy thot pot. where do you sit on this? thi >> well, i mean, first i've gotv a long history with metro when was governor, you know, we so depended on metro in that capacity, and now in the senate, as, you know, in the federal oversight and finding is important. the d.c. metro area doesn't worw without metro. i mean it'trs l runs on metro.etro >> right. >> i mean we've got to be metror that works and i give paul wiedefeld the new general manager who's been in a littleit bit over year i give him a lotil of credit.of cdit. he came in and realize we gote t major safety problems and goal a one people have to be safe, anda so this safetrack proposal thata he put on the table there were short term pains for a lot of fo people. but the system is safer as aer a result. so i give him credit for a solil first year of, you know, getting
7:46 am
i think he said so next year is about being good. first year is about being safe.f next year is about continuingtiu safety but being good. there's this tug of war of about do we give more money to metro so they can fix their challenge oars do we demand they fix things before we give them m more money.more mey both sides have some points, you know, of importance.ornc what we needed to see from metro in congress was a dramaticramati commitment to better managementm because frankly, it was w management that was lacking. both in the also at the board. the board was not doing a good o job of managing this system. they were managing like kind ofo a bunch of political appointeest rather than transportationation professionals.onals. the last year has seen a s significant improvement in thata and so i'm going to continue to go to bat for metro every whichi way i can but i'm also going tot do all i can with the maryland d.c. and virginia delegations tt hold them accountable on thele o management improvement.vement >> talking with virginia senatot tim kaine about local and and national issues. iue wrap it with one more election o question.
