it's jill stein but jill stein had 1%. this isn't going to change anything for jill stein. where is hillary clinton in all of this? >> the clinton campaign of course has many supporters who continue to be disappointed and upset about the result and would be willing to support and have poured money into jill stein's effort to make certain that the election was carried out without any outside interference from foreign entity like the russians, that whole theory or the simple mechanism of an election win properly. i was there in 2000 when we went through a protracted recount in florida and in states, we see recounts that will occasionally result in a change in the outcome or there is a close, close race where a recount is triggered automatically. many th in this case, the clinton team is supporting at arm's length and by that, i mean, their legal counsel, mark alias, he's supporting this in the sense that when a recount takes place, typically, you have representatives from the parties to observe the process. that is in part to ensure that the recount is also done in a proper p

george martin/ambassador of peace for jill stein's shadow cabinet: "there is no smoking gun. there's not something that we're pointing to say that this is wrong in wisconsin, pennsylvania. what we are saying is that there's enough peripheral evidence to warrant that our system should be investigated." and the party says it quickly raised the millions required to formally request a recount in those select states. george martin/ambassador of peace for jill stein's shadow cabinet: "we're not doing this to the benefit of one candidate over the other. we're doing this for the benefit of the american public. so that we can trust that our votes are counted." i'm mary moloney reporting. the deadline to file the recount rees pennsylvania is monday. michigan's is wednesday. a young boy spent his thanksgiving giving back to those in need. we'll show you the meals he put together... so others could celebrate the

what democrats are saying is, jill stein has led this effort, and i am not here to defend jill stein under any circumstances, but she says she wants to get folks together to do the recount. now you have the clinton campaign coming in to make sure it's on the up and up. we do have evidence that our elections in general were tampered with. we know that the russians dipped their toe into our elections more than a couple of times with fake news, with hacking of the democratic national committee, the clinton campaign's personal e-mails. it's not hypocrisy. it's coming in to ensure that whatever recount is happening, is happening on the up and up. and if there's anything that's found, we'll deal with it as it comes. >> scotty, 30 seconds. go. >> what's interesting, you don't hear the democrats screaming back in 2008 when barack obama lost to hillary clinton the popular vote, we didn't hear the idea of rigging. instead they accepted it and pushed barack obama who became president. it's time to move on and unify the countries. >> what is remarkable, you look at the amount raised, millions of

hillary people looking for a miracle invested in jill stein and jill stein is going to pocket that money unfortunately. it will be a lose lose situation. here we are 2016. >> kristin you get the final word here. >> you actually look at jill stein's own web site, it says right there in the fine print that all of the money raised may not even go to this recount effort. we don't know where this money is going. it acts as a financial scam. jill stein is not exactly as pure as wind driven snow. this is a woman who has been arrested multiple times. she was behind bars in 2012. we don't know where this money is going or what the motive behind this is. >> the deadline to file in pennsylvania is today. wisconsin slated to have a meeting at 9:30 a.m. this morning wisconsin time. we will see. >> thank you so much for joining us. >>> 19 minutes after the hour liberal mayors defy president elect trump and keep their city's sank arias for illegals. one governor just said not so fast. how would you like to earn tickets for the super bowl for the rest of your life? whoa, this is awful, try it. oh no, th

jill stein found her telephone marginalized by

this is jill stein on her own. they decided to join it because they feel like it's important to fired up to say, this is already happening. we're going to go out and piggyback on this. jill stein ended up getting 50,000 votes in the state of michigan. the margin is 10,000. you end up looking at wisconsin, the margin there was -- is about 20,000. jill stein got more than 30,000 votes. pennsylvania wasn't going to make a big difference. having jill stein lead this -- >> do you have an >> you had the better one. >> we don't those votes would have gone to hillary clinton. >> or not voted. >> they might not have voted. the bottom line is, i don't understand why anybody is so excited about this. the constitution allows for this. state constitution allows for this. jill stein is using it as a way to raise money. i don't like that it's fuelling the fire of this not my president. don't vote for donald trump, don't for hillary clinton, but >> let's pifvot to the conflict of interest issue. p se >> i don't think donald trump

jill stein. he called it ridiculous in a statement yesterday and last night a series of tweets tying it back to hillary clinton and the democrats. let me read for you one of those tweets from trump last night. he said, quote, the green party scam is to fill up their coiffeurs and is being joined by the baddley defelted and demoralized dems. jill stein raised this money online when she raised the possibility she would challenge wisconsin. she raised more than enough to question it. that raised the question what she was going to do with all of this money. yesterday on cnn stein promised those who donated that the money would be used for the right reasons. take a listen. >> for his information, this is all going into a dedicated and segregated account so that it can only be spent on the recount campaign. >> now the clinton campaign continues to maintain that their involvement in this effort is on the periphery. mark elias who's a campaign counsel wrote a lengthy post on medium where he said that the

jill stein is defending the vote recount effort. i talked to her in the last hour shortly after trump released that statement. here is what she said. >> he may be creating his own facts here, as he's been known to do sometimes in the past. and i think, you know, he himself said that it was a rigged election, unless he won it. the point to drive home here is that having a secure elections process benefits us all. and i invite everyone, i invite donald trump's campaign, hillary's campaign. we've had calls out to gary johnson's campaign. this should be a nonpartisan, people-powered effort to ensure that we can rely on the integrity and the security of our votes. >> joining me now to discuss, scotty nell hughes, she supported trump throughout the election. also with us, the former chairman of the washington, dc democratic party. he supported hillary clinton. scotty nell, you heard what jill stein had to say. should this be a nonpartisan effort, especially for a candidate who insisted that the system is rigged? >> absolutely there should

i understand why jill stein is doing it. she's raising a heck of a lot of money, ever $6 million so far. >> she still has to spend it on the recount. >> in wisconsin they said she can also spend it on building of the green party. she can use it as a platform. for the clinton people to add to this i think is a great insult to american people, because there's no value in it. it's just going to divide america more. >> but you can't call the process itself a fraud, and i agree with you that i have issues with doing a recount because i don't think it's going to change anything. but there are rules here and she is within the rules and laws here, so i wouldn't call what she's doing fraud. i don't think it's necessarily helpful. i think it would have been more helpful if she dropped out. >> there is a weird conundrum for trump. he seems to have a hard time accepting his victory. who was it that ran for mayor of new york and he was asked what will you do if you win, and he said i'll demand a recount. >>> coming up, a field of determi

jill stein is exploring. the clinton campaign is coming in to make sure it is done right. >> i want to bring in scotty nel hughes. we have her on the telephone. we have you in person there. i want to ask you, on the wake of what we heard her say. trump claimed the election was rigged and he had people monitor polling stations. he said, all three states were won by large numbers. in michigan, he was up by 10,000. if there was a possibility that election systems were compromised or hacked and votes were counted improperly, should that be investigated. >> the difference what mr. trump was saying for the last year and a half and what the democrats and jill stein are claiming are two different things. they are claiming somebody outside of the u.s. came in and hacked and changed votes forever. mr. trump was claiming it was a rigged system that was against him. you had there at the polls actual votes happening that day. there could be polls or vote switching. it wouldn't have been an outside group coming in to aller

completely uncutting jill stein's effort. this helps jill stein. does it help her? we have a -- i have a full screen quote to put up her in the interview on npr and she basically said -- i don't have it in front of me which is why i'm waiting and not necessarily going to change the outcome. >> that's exactly right. helps her with the fund raising going on. costing millions of dollars and in the "milwaukee journal" in wisconsin and the green party said whatever money is not spent is spent on their campaign schools. the recruitment. so this is not exactly -- when donald trump says it's a scam i believe him. this is not certifying the election result. she said it's probably fine. >> let me agree with ron. i think jill stein should commit every penny goes back to the people that gave her the money and not used as a fund-raiser for the green party. >> she won't do that. >> she should do that. we should call on her to do that. designed for a purpose for the recount and not using it for the green party. >> we have seen donald trump put up a number of tweets this morning an

and jill stein filed for a recount in pennsylvania. michigan just finished counting yesterday and they are headed for a recount as well. bret baier, anchor of the fox news channel. the question i have is who is funding this recount? bret: that was a nice open by you. jury trial stein aside from your interview has don'ter interviews. when she was asked about the donors she claims they are 90 something percent of small donors under $100 she said. but you can donate $2,700 and there is nothing preventing anybody like a george soros or a person who has the capability of bundling people to donate. she could not confirm whether george soros was a donor to this effort. she said if she found oute was, she would give the money back. the fact that she raised $7 million in 7 days which is exponentially more than she raised for two presidential runs, this is quite something. kennedy: it's very curious. i still do not believe that this is jill stein on her own making a stand at the top of that mountain. i just don't think that she has the marketing

jill stein is about jill stein. and what she's doing that's terrible is, is that she's t tapping into the heartbreak of hillary clinton supporters, who cannot make sense of the election results, especially since they were so close. i don't think she would be doing this if this were a ten-point race. >> and eric, you've got this situation where jill stein, who is a regular contributor to r.t., "russia today," which is implicated in the disinformation campaign that infected this election. you had russian propaganda more retweeted, more viewed than actual news. it just swamped, you know, i think it was a description in "the washington post," that it was like spitting into a tsunami, trying to counter all of the propaganda that was coming, including from "r.t.," where she is a contributor, where she essentially opposed the eu's attempts to go anti-propaganda -- an anti-propaganda resolution, to stop russia from doing this in europe. jill stein went on their air, back in november, back last year, and opposed that. so thi

jill stein did. she's just saying she wants to make sure the process is followed and will have her representatives on the ground. i think actually hillary is following through with exactly what she said, which is we want this election to be fair and accurate. every vote counts. she's not expecting a change in the results, but she does want to make sure that the votes are counted. and look, we did see in a course of two weeks wisconsin go from 27,000 to 22,000 just from a few counties changing a number of votes. so i think it's a good process to follow through, and if people have confidence in the election, i don't know what the worry is with just following through the process. if people think it's accurate, if the trump campaign thinks the numbers are accurate, president-elect trump thinks these things are accurate, i don't know why he's so anxious about it, why he needs to attack hillary about the results. >> have you spoken to hillary clinton about this? >> i have not spoken to her about this, but

i think jill stein might have guilt by association. a lot of people think it could have lead to a hillary clinton victory. i think if you will blame anybody blame jill stein. it is kind of like a silly dewad debate. we have people who talked about the rigged system. what i think we should be focusing on, what happened with the russians? why did they hack the dnc e-mails? why did they release the wikileaks e-mails? it should be troubling to every american. we should focus on how to defend the integrity. it is so disturbing. the russians, if they got away with it this time they are not about to stop. >> i want to just quickly move on and talk about mitt romney. you know, we just heard kellyann conway speaking out really against romney. do you think trump is really considering him or just stringing him along? is there an wall thor yor motive? >> i think he is magnanimous in looking at many candidates. i think that's why he had the meeting to see if they could, you know, bury the hatchet on what they actually believe things like russia and

jill stein has raised a bunch of money. what, $7 million at this point for the recount effort in wisconsin in particular. wisconsin only has ten electoral votes.'s like -- it's not going get her where she needs to be. so the fact that she's joining this effort is a little bit, you know, puzzling to me even as a democrat. >> andrew, as a republican, i'm sure you want to weigh in here and i'm thinking if jill stein can get things overturned in new york and wisconsin and florida and she might be able to get to 270 at some point. >> everyone but fox news and xm patriot is promoting this national popular vote. we have never chosen a president simply on the national populous vote. but because our civics teachings are so bad, people are believing that donald trump somehow walked away with something he didn't earn. you win by the electoral college. that's it. >> on social media, harlin, a lot of people saying where is this money coming from? jill stein raised nothing like this when she was an actual candidate for president. is this

the green party and jill stein now has a much bigger list of gy to this effort. what they would do with is unclear but lists are very valuable in politics. >> pla keith >> stewart: the streets of havana were nearly empty today, as cubans came to grips with the death of fidel castro, the man who ruled for almost half a century, until his brother, raul, took over in 2008. this was the second of nine days of national mourning following castro's death friday at the age of 90. thousands are expected to pay their respects tomorrow in revolution plaza where a mass public ceremony is planned for tuesday. a man who made headlines as a young boy when he was returned to cuba after a long and political fight, now 22 elian gonzalez, appeared on cuban state television today to say castro was a friend to his family. >> he taught us to fly. he taught us to dream. and now it is up to us alone, now without him by our side, it is up to us to open a path forward. it is up to us to execute that concept of revolution. >> stewart: in 1999, the then five-year old elian was at the center

i mean, it's jill stein. and frankly, jill stein has nothing to gain. there's no way she can win. the only person this could even remotely benefit is hillary clinton, and i think it's somewhat naive to suggest that the democrat party, hillary clinton and that campaign are not involved. i will submit this. she is placating the left. everybody knows that this will go nowhere, and i think it's because she is planning on running for another office, and i would say keep your eye on the mayor of new york. this is a woman who is not going to go away quietly into that night. >> all right. that is, of course, very interesting. i need to move on to another topic because i want to get you guys to weigh in on cuba. so, what will u.s.-cuba relations look like under president trump? it's been talked about all weekend long. incoming chief of staff priebus said communist regime must change before any progress for normalization to continue. listen. >> there is going to have to be some movement from cuba in order to have a relationship with the united states. and i think the president-elect has bee

jill stein joins me to explain her motivation. president obama reportedly planning to cram through a bunch of executive orders before he leaves office. what's he got his sleeve, a phone and a pen? is time travel really possible? new research suggests it could be. we are ready to break it down. so grab your helmet. it's time to blast off. dr. jill stein found her telephone marginalized by democrats as the press sympathetic to hillary during the presidential race. she claude her way across the country, piquing the interest of saddened bernie voters only to be shut out of the presidential debates and mocked privately and publicly by hillary supporters. why would a woman month tweeted this about hillary. remember when hillary clinton called the tpp the gold stand card or called black youth super predators for voted for the iraq war? it's a close vote to overturn the results in wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania. does this smeenl jill is with her? it's curious in just over six days dr. stein has raised $6 million. but over the course

and i think jill stein is a straw woman for the clinton campaign. this is nonsense that somehow hillary is just making sure that she's being honest. there's no honesty here. and by the way, judge, you know how much it costs to run a recount. where are they getting the money to run the recount? she couldn't even run her campaign and suddenly she has millions of dollars for a recountry? look, i would ask chris to find out which one of his democratic friends is bankrolling this recount. is it george soros or somebody else? who is it? >> brad, you know that there are a lot of people very upset about this election on the left and they -- >> but donald trump won. >> yeah, and we accept that. i think that most mainstream democrats accept that, willing to give him the benefit of the doubt though he doesn't deserve it anymore. >> he doesn't deserve it? the guy -- he had 306 electoral votes. she had 232. even if they switch wisconsin and michigan he still winds it. they're not going to switch pennsylvania because there's still 70,000 votes that are going to f

stein that it really says jill stein, validating all of it. hillary clinton is going to participate and also donald trump. jon: as you well know, he suggested that he might not go along with the results of the election, i think the wide presumption then was that he was going to lose by a large margin and that he would then question the results, well, now the shoe is on the other foot and jill stein and maybe some others are questioning the legitimacy of this election, why should they not take the same heat that donald trump did during the campaign? >> well, i think one, hillary clinton did standby the results of the election. jon: absolutely she did. >> the problem is the stein campaign has a right under our system to do this. i don't agree with them doing it. i think it's a waste of time but they have a right to do it and once they assert that right, then both trump and clinton have to go through the process and participate. it would be crazy to not have people in that room and only have one campaign in there counting the votes with the offic

jill stein needs a lot of attention. she's probably going to be asking for recount until kingdom come, the clinton campaign didn't have to join in. they admitted that they had their own investigation, didn't find anything of concern. so why be associated with this ludicrous effort and then leak articles to politico how they find this all so irritating all though the hillary campaign for wisconsin is soliciting with volunteers for states she never dpan campaigned in. >> irritated most of the small circles have no elusions -- pennsylvania and maybe michigan will come even close to flipping the result of the presidential election. the election they know is over and it goes on as you mentioned. >> jill stein cost hillary clinton the presidency just her margin alone without gary johnson's in three states. she should stay away from her as humanly possible. >> there's speculation that hillary clinton is doing this to preserve her viability for potential run in 2020 which strikes me as totally absurd on its face. stranger things

i spoke with jill stein a short time ago. dr. stein, at this point, do you have any evidence at all, actual evidence, of voter fraud, of fraud at the ballot boxes? >> no. what we have are predictors that if tampering took place, that it would be most likely to be discovered in the three states where we are looking but it's like when you get into an airplane, you do not want to have evidence that the airplane is rapidly losing altitude before you create a backup system to be sure your airplane has a safety net, that it has built-in quality assurance. that's what we're calling for in this election and in all elections that we need to have a system that we can be confident in. >> you're talking about potential hacking and obviously there have been instances and obviously dnc e-mails were hacked, there were attempts to get into -- efforts to get into various voter databases. but the fbi has been investigating that, and i assume continues to investigate that, and even the clinton campaign, their counsel says they've had lawyers and da

jill stein is. clinton's lawyer says they did want to participate to make sure the process is fair to all sides and they're represented in any legal proceedings. >> this is all on jill stein. why is jill stein who got less than 1% of the vote nationally, why is she leading the charge on this? given she has so little to gain. is she somehow doing team clinton's bidding? >> jill stein is doing it because of this. right now we're talking about her and her party, the green party three weeks after the election. but to be fair, stein says but the publicity doesn't hurt especially as millions of dollars pour into the green party to support the recount effort. >> no such thing as bad publicity. rule number one. we know that ted cruz is on your show today martha. he's been extremely critical of president obama for quote, showering love on castro. why do you think that president obama worded his statement the way that he did? >> well, i think to president obama an important part of his legacy is reestablishin

if jill stein has it her way.. the recount would be done by hand. she plans to file at this hour, a lawsuit that will require every ballot to be counted by hand.this would take much more time.according to a federal law called "safe harbor" candidates have 35 days after the election to request and complete a 13th.here's the timeline to get this all done.the elections commission asked for the estimated cost of a recount from each county clerk by noon today.they will then notify jill stein and any other candidate requesting a recount, of the cost by 4:30 today.she will then have to pay that estimated amount, in full by tomorrow. a teleconference would take place wednesday with all 72 county clerks on recount rules. then, the recount would begin on thursday. the elections the elections commission changed the deadline to complete the recount in wisconsin by december 12th, to be ahead of any unforseen problems.tonigh at five.. hear from the election commission on why they believe your vote this election was counted correctly. live at the milwaukee county

jill stein, hillary clinton and donald trump. i don't think it behooves the american people or the american electorate to sit and cast stones at what happened on november 8th. let it go! i don't understand why mr. trump is kind of sitting back and talking about the electionhat he actually won. wiers don't want to call into question the results. winners want to go, i won, let's move on and let's govern. alisyn, why he's engaging in what hillary clinton is doing and jill stein is doing, i don't get it. >> well, neither do we, and you are one of his supporters and surrogates, so what is behind that? >> well, listen, i'm not in the room or i'm not on his twitter feed, but i would think that he's offended by what's happening in wisconsin and potentially in michigan. if you're going to call into question states that aren't going to flip from trump to hillary clinton because there's too many votes there, maybe he's trying to call into question the fact that he won the popular vote. >> but he didn't. he lost the popular vote. >> no, i kn

one is, i don't think that jill stein is being a bad actor here. i think that she's tapping into some legitimate concerns and fears in this country. when you look at the number of millennials that either protested the election or participated by going to the polls, there are folks who feel like they've never really been represented. and so now, they see an election that hillary clinton won by the popular vote, but there's an -- there's this electoral college thing that doesn't represent their interests. so there are questions. the other thing they saw are two, i think, major factors in how people engaged in the political process -- >> but this electoral college thing, that is a part of american government. >> that's not me -- >> and i don't mean to -- >> i'm putting on my millennial hat. >> i don't want to pretend that it's all millennials. but it is part of the constitution. >> please understand, i did take common law in law school, i'm not confused about that. but i do think there is a legitimate concern that the electoral college is a dated conc
