thank god she didn't listen to me. >> i, hillary rodham clinton -- >> hillary clinton's election to the senate is historic. the days of two for one are over. >> it was like his career was shutting down, and hers was just beginning. >> i think that was really liberating for her, to leave the white house, actually. >> she went on to do so much good in that role. >> republican congressmen expected heexpect expected herb to just lord it over them. no, what she did was use her celebrity to shine on their legislation. >> after eight years as senator of new york -- >> thank you, rob bet. i successfully avoided this room for eight years. >> hillary becomes barack obama's secretary of state. by 2016, there's only one place left to go. >> we've reached a milestone. the first time in our nation's history that a woman will be a major party's nominee. >> but when hillary makes a bid for the highest office in the land -- >> she's a very unlikeable candidate -- >> she once again finds herself under attack. >> is not charismatic, she is not likeable -- >> to me there was a direct line of everything you

hugely admired and respected hillary clinton. he thought that she was up to this challenge. >> mr. president, it's no secret, we've all been reading the press clips and reviews in the first 100 days of the administration. mrs. clinton has been doing, i think, a little better than mr. clinton in terms of the reviews. >> she just had one thing to do. that's why. >> it's health care. has that turned out to be tougher? have you said to him some nights, thanks a lot, mr. president? that's a tough, tough issue. >> i remember when we did that interview, they created this kind of protective cloak around them in a verbal sense to make sure that they were saying the right things to protect each other. >> and bill told me because he had worked on health care as a governor that it was the most complicated issue he'd ever even thought about. he was right. it is. >> good morning. how are you? >> so a war room was set up specifically on health care, which at the end of the day i thought sounded like a good idea to have a dedicated group of peop

and the fbi knew that that was bought and paid for by the hillary clinton campaign. the fbi knew that the primary sub-source of that steele dossier has been investigated by them in 2009. they knew all of this for sure by the end of january 2017. but some of this information was known in july, in october. so speak a little bit in terms of the unequal treatment of the two campaigns and also i want you to speak to -- i agree with you, this was not an adequate predicate for an investigation. okay? but speak to the fbi guidelines about continuing an investigation when you have all this exculpatory information. >> yeah, i think one -- >> get the microphone closer to you. >> one of the most puzzling aspects of this whole -- really it was kind of a national tragedy, it's a tragedy for the fbi certainly as we look back and see the thin basis for launching an investigation like this. when you have -- when you juxtapose the reasons that the fbi stated in their opening communication for starting up a case, and then their comments to the inspector general later as to why they fel

hillary clinton wasexonerated . this email scandal, the media examination investigation and the crossfire hurricane scandal, i want to talk about one of sthe texts to lisa page shortly after they exonerated hillary clinton said this feels momentous. now let's talk aboutcrossfire hurricane because this matter . the other one, that was just so that we didn't have something up. this matters because it matters . so glad to be on this voyage with you and we have the inspector general when he reviewed the fisa abuse and claimed there was no proof that political bias affected any actions you read i would challenge thatstatement . a final statement is one that we uncovered in our report on leaks. and the overall summary of that is that report showed 125 leaks in the first 126 days of the trump administration, 62 of them would have been defined as arming national security while the obama ministration definition of that and 62 , eight or nine during both the bush and the obama administration. it's an explosion of leaks and by

she has been endorsed by hillary clinton. your case for neera tanden is that she has been endorsed by hillary clinton? one of the most unserious people who has been nominated for this type of role. she has no business, and that's why she should be viewed as a lightning roll. just to get everyone's attention away from the other equally radical picks. >> kennedy: one of the largest offices inside. i have to check how many people are on staff. it is by far the largest office in there. influence will be enormous. you can't undersell how powerful the position is. as leslie said, puts forth the president's agenda, but they actually enact his budget. >> harris: you know, one of the things that i see it in this, as you were piping up as leslie was talking there, this isn't just about how she can lead all these people. it should be about that mostly, and it is an just about -- this is someone who has shown the bad judgments of putting her hands on someone she doesn't agree with. she called it something else. it is bad judgment, involv

right now they're in court trying to protect hillary clinton. that's today's doj. lou: it's unbelievable. >> i've always looked at it as the older lynch/session/barr, one big blob. lou: it's unbelievable. it's appalling. so what should -- >> and rosen, and rosen is barr's hire. we're not going to get anything different from the acting attorney general. lou: well, with that uplifting conclusion i have to say, tom, you want a special counsel to find out about the fraud on this election? >> we need a special counsel on biden, we need a special counsel on the election, and we need a special prosecutor on obamagate because durham isn't capable of doing whatever he's been asked to do. lou: i support everything that tom fitton just said about special prosecutors and special counsel. please, please, somebody, come to your senses over there at the justice department. thanks, tom, appreciate it. tom fitton. >>> before we go to brach, i just want to share -- break, i just want to share some christmas cheer. you can go to -- well, you can order my new book. and you know what s

the law that wasly used quickly when president trump was elected even though hillary clinton had millions more votes than he did. she conceded the election within a day and the transition began. the idea that whoever is president must know what is going on. certainly, the presiding officer like all of us, have access to and get intelligence briefings of what is happening around the world. it discloses nothing to say that we live in perilous times. and the decisions any president must make, even if it is five minutes after they are inaugurated, has the potential for president obama was inaugurated the first half. he actually had talking points to alert people to clear the balls in case there was an attack. today is only the first day that president-elect biden is getting the presidential briefing and vice president-elect kamala harris. she of course has the advantage as a member of the senate intelligence committee to have a lot of that material anywayoo. but we look so foolish in the eyes of the rest of the world. we have dictatorships when they rigged the election so they can stay. we le

when i took over chairman in 2015 it was in march 2015 that it was revealed that hillary clinton read most of her e-mail through private server, not only is this committee the general oversight committee of congress we have specific jurisdiction on federal records, that really vegan my work in this communities work investigating some of the corruption of the obama administration, i think it's important to note that this represents from my standpoint unequal application of justice, hillary clinton wasp exonerated, this e-mail scandal investigation morphed into crossfire hurricane scandal and i want to talk about one of the text the peter strzok texted to lisa page shortly after the exonerated hillary clinton, he's talking about crossfire hurricane. this matters, the other one did too. but that was to ensure that we did not ask something up, this matters because it matters. so glad to be on this voyage with you. and yet we have the inspector general when he reviewed the pfizer abuse in his report and claimed there was no proof that political bias affected any actions. i would challenge

campaign you think if hillary clinton had won weinstein would be in jail right now i think that if hillary clinton won i don't know if he'd be in jail i don't think she would have done anything to interfere with an investigation or prosecution that is not been anything that i knew as a senator as 1st lady i've never seen or tried to stop the gist of the investigations when seen it was denies all the accusations and is that fighting the case why did you always have an affinity for the democrats given that hillary clinton certainly in the global south is known for a foreign policy that is has been devastating to countries all around the world i mean libya to name to name one country which doesn't doesn't feature in this book but it's africa's richest per capita country and now lies in ruins because of obama and clinton arguably well i disagreed with that and i said that i would have marched on the clinton administration when they came with the omnibus crime bill that i think led to a lot of incarceration of blacks in in the ninety's i marched against clinton on welfare reform. no i think pol

it was designed to cover up the truth and exonerate hillary clinton. i need to be assured that is not the case with this u.s. attorney in delaware. i don't know the man. i'm not accusing him of anything. we need a thorough investigation. we need equal justice in this country and that is something that certainly the comey fbi and parts of the department of justice under obama we didn't have. >> bill: i heard an interview in print talking about a long-term grooming of chinese nationals working on people that work in washington d.c. how many in washington you think are compromised based on that? >> i have no idea. you can see what they did with congressman swalwell. chinese are smart. they're long-term thinkers. very strategic. you think they did it to this one up and comer, groomed him for that position, raised him up and got him elected as a member of congress. you think that is the only one that they did it with? i doubt it. we have to be very careful and we have to have our eyes wide open. >> bill: i'm sorry. you're not putting a number on that howeve

intelligence communityeported back on july 26, 2016 that allegedly approval by hillary clinton on jul26b proposal for foreign policy advisers to vilified donal trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by russian security services. mr. broc in her testimony you talked abo the unequal application or the uneal treatment by the fbi of the clinton campaign versus the trump campaign paid to me this is just exhibit a and that unequal treatment for here y have the intelgence community knowing that it's hillary clinton approving of a plan to stir up the scandal and tying candidate trump to russian collusion and tha explains the whole steele dossier, doesn't i connectdi the fbi knew that was bought and paid for by the heller clinton campaignnd the fbi knew that the primary sub source of that steele dossier been investigated b them in 2 20 -- 2009. they knew all of this forure by the end of january 2017 but some of this information was known in july and in october and sopeak i terms of the unequal treatment of the two campaigns and also i want you to speak t to -- igree with you that th

i also really appreciate you bringing up the primary when barack obama was facing off with hillary clinton because i went and interviewed a lot of black women during the next presidential primary when hillary clinton was of course running to replace barack obama. they spoke about how painful it was having to make that choice. what they felt was making a choice between, because they knew both of them are qualified for make an excellent president but having to choose the race over the gender. clearly black women chosen the race and it felt like they had to vindicate though that split by then supporting hillary clinton. i heard that again and again that this is a chance to redeem the fact we had to split our self. it seems like that struggle, how can that struggle be resolved in this country built on the foundation upon which it was built? >> i wish i knew the answer, but i'll tell you what i think. one, what becomes a regular chart of black women's political analysis, critical discourse in the wake of 2008 is taking that moment at the podium to articulate for the uninitiated how you came to

then again where >> two things, i agree with hillary clinton. we should abolish electoral college i believe if we go into the popular voting system, candidates will move through the state and connect with people i heard on the news, the same group that went before the haveme court, and tried to votes from battleground states are thrown out, are going to present them to congress on the 6th. host: the first part of your question, if you make a popular focuscandidates don't on media markets, what do you think? guest: i think states today are competitive, and have higher turnouts. democrats expect to win those states. this california had tremendous turnout. reasons peoplehe against the electoral college are that way. they think their state is not competitive without it. host: let's try one more call, howl in atlanta, georgia. go ahead. is, now thatestion the democrat nominee has won the popular vote and the electoral onlyge, i believe there's one other way for this to get reversed, and that is some kind of action in congress. states would have to do

such that i mean this is just really the beginning of the end for hillary clinton's campaign. this was a white against a change in country it was a white flash against a black president if this morning you finally woke up from a coma well you might want to go back to the. me. so with a meltdown over an election is one reason 2020 made time i would say. it's a tie with 2016 although of course the magazine couldn't pass up the is public enemy number one the coronavirus does not positive spin here pandemics take lives and change others for coverage 19 is no exception but it's also not unique the spanish flu took 50000000 lives to buc ulos has killed 1400000 last year alone humanity has weathered these kinds of storms before and on much more lethal scales but for a time it wasn't just about the the malicious mutating virus so no helplessness met its evil twin a partner in crime that would only magnify its mad power isolation that began in march the onset of a period in which most of us felt incased in the globes looking out at the world that seem to be falling apart never mind the

she was an advisor to hillary clinton when she was the first lady and when she ran for senate and president twice. she has been very steeped in policy discussions. she was an architect of the affordable care act, the law that president obama passed. she has a pretty active residence on twitter. some republicans are upset over statements she has made. she is somebody who has been in washington working on these policies way long time. she has developed quite a record. host: your newspaper and other publications have talked about the trouble on capitol hill in terms of her nomination. this is the headline in the new at tanden."balking and kamalaoe biden harris knew the scenario ahead of time and yet chose to go with her. how difficult to think the non-asian process will be for her? -- the nomination process will be for her? guest: if republicans decide to fight this and they have votes in the senate, it could be difficult for her. this takes some of the heat off of other [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit

clinton was going to win the macho war and they didn't go out and vote and they got donald trump and a lot of progressives and a lot of democrats who didn't vote were very upset with what came for the next 4 years now i got it i'm sorry. and it may well get fasten n.p.r. and you come off the back of the hats. well i will tell you that is exactly what i feel and i think that is actually that's exactly like watrous or did not win the nomination because i think trump would have be be a progressive i do not you know the republicans were touting and they're doing it in georgia right now with the georgia special election runoff socialism and what the progressive represent to middle america is socialism you know we picked up a couple of house of representatives seats in florida i would cuban americans from the very idea they've been to a grand 3 they came from a country more socialism it did not work i think joe biden was the only candidate that have actually and he did. because a lot of middle americans even if it is reasonable you know he was with obama economy you know it's eyes presiden

jesse, of course hillary clinton would be president right now if not for the electoral college. but you say there's a lot of reasons to scrap it. starting with basic fairness, everybody's vote should count equally. >> i think that's really what hits home for all americans, no matter their political ideology. the bigger number beats the smaller number. i think donald trump made it clear that he believes that back in 2012, when he thought mitt romney would win the popular vote and lose the electoral college, he tweeted the electoral college is a disaster for democracy. this isn't liberal sour grapes, this is basic american belief in majority rule. and i think, you know -- donald trump will argue had the rules been different in 2016, he would have beaten hillary clinton in the popular vote too. i say let him make that argument, but at least let's have the fight on those grounds. >> president-elect biden called what trump and his allies are doing an unprecedented assault on your democracy. could all these plots have played out if we didn't have the electoral college? jesse? >> no, i

we've got jake sullivan for nsa , he sent classified e-mails to hillary clinton's server and hyped the russia gate hoax, co-authored the essay calling china an essential u.s. partner, anthony blinken for secretary of state named in senator johnson's report was in contact with hunter biden and his barisma holdings colleagues, and ale jandro mayorkas for dhs sold green cards to chinese nationals on behalf of democratic done ors and then budget director played a role in promoting the debunk trump russia claims and the dossier and of course avril haines whots your job as dni, the former deputy of john brennan and susan rice who were deeply involved, we understand, john brennan was, in the russia hoax, so does the potential incoming biden administration agree with this , about china, and will they change policy? >> well, these election issues, we'll see who is in what seats and whether there is a biden administration, but the point of what i've done here and how i've addressed this and why it's different for a director of national intelligence to take this approach is i want to make sure th

hillary clinton the state of new york has received 227 votes. of the 115th congress, the chair declares the joint session dissolved. >> neil: all right. january 2017, vice president joe biden making the official news and certifying the electoral vote that ultimately went to donald trump and made him the 45th president of the united states. now rolls reversed. it will be mike pence the vice president of the united states and president of the senate that will make the tally official going among state capitols. all the electors meeting to show the allegiance to the popular vote. whoever wins the popular vote gets the vote. the top of the hour we're expecting that to confirm that joe biden is the next president of the united states. ironically it will be mike pence in that role on january 6 when all of this is made official in washington that will be stating just that. the read on this and the significance of this with reed wilson from the hill a great writer. reed, you look at these ironies that will be the then four years ago the future president

hillary clinton. and assassinating him. but the same people that i quite think you're drunk you best incorrectly he would they would go in yesterday josina do you mention you know the need to smear campaign to destroy julian assange and his character let's keep in mind everyone watching this is the it is alleged and some of reported that donald trump offered some kind of come and see your pardon did enjoying a sponge before he would give up his sources and as a person takes it take his position as a journalist seriously apparently he turned it down because he's not going to burn a source. so look at the character of all the people attacking him and look at joining us on just character 30 seconds go ahead jockey absolutely and this is been something that's been the case all the way through for people who want to see the truth it's very very clear who has the principles and who doesn't and the presentation of judy in a song you know me in the years since the system ruling class turned against him has been truly horrific and t

clinton were running against each other there and it was in august right. before the election she was in jackson hole wyoming and now there were. so i think you know where she is doing very very that one is as far as the rest of his picks. i think they're pretty reasonable and i can understand why the work for bernie sanders are those with gore and you probably would not be that pleased for some of the moves you know more reasonable picks that we feel like biden to has made the only one day that you know i disagreed with pretty much was the john kerry it. climate i feel like they may have been. too but someone a little bit more progress of that would have been to the progressive base how joe biden get a life and i really feel like that was one seat that he actually could have put someone that would have been a progressive there in that city. let me just pause for a moment and bringing janet yellen janet yellen would be if she. agreed by congress to be the treasury secretary is there any sense of what she had to say in a action will produce a self reinforcin

hillary clinton smashed her blackberry with a hammer. there's one set of laws for democrats and there's another one for republicans. this man should be ashamed of himself. the original sin of president trump was that he wasn't part of the deep state and exposed the corruption of the representatives like the man you have on there. >> congressman raskin? >> okay. we obviously have a difference in view. but let's start with this. every federal and state judge in the country, many of them appointed by republicans, others appointed by democrats, have rejected those allegations that you just repeated from donald trump. there's not a judge in the country that accepts what you're saying. yesterday attorney general william barr even disassociated himself from that. there is no evidence of pervasive election fraud in any way. and so, this is why the president has lost every single suit that he's brought in pennsylvania, in wisconsin, in georgia. this week we have republican election officials in georgia demanding that the president stop this cease

here is former president bill clinton and hillary clinton, two electors in new york state. new york state, of course, has 29 electoral votes, and two of the electoral votes cast by the former president of the united states. here's the governor, governor cuomo, of new york. so the process is continuing in new york state now in albany, new york, capital of new york. saw the governor and former president bill clinton and hillary clinton, residents of new york. two of the 29 electors in new york. david, explain to viewers what we're seeing now. this is one state, a large state, new york. but will unfold in 49 other states and district of columbia. >> yeah. remember, these electors are casting a ballot both for president and vice president so you just saw bill clinton, hillary clinton, governor cuomo cast a ballot for joe biden, one of 29 new york has to offer, another for kamala harris for the vice president-elect. they each calltally up. and what happens is that they have to sign some six certificates that get delivered to various officials, judges, secretaries of state, elect

hillary clinton, of course, didn't beat trump in the electoral college. that's why she never became president, but her supporters took some comfort in the fact she actually did receive millions more votes than trump did in 2016. trump lost the popular vote to hillary clinton by about 2.9 million votes. but it looks like he's going to lose the popular vote to biden by more than double that margin. that will make donald trump the only president to have ever lost the popular vote twice. and with biden, we now know topping 51% of the total votes cast in the election, that means that biden got more of a percentage of the vote against an incumbent president than any candidate running against an incumbent president dating back to 1932. it's really hard to oust an incumbent. biden did a better job of it than anybody since the '30s. jennifer rubin at "the washington post" today noticing that not since fdr just wiped the floor with herbert hoover in 1932 has anyone ever beat an incumbent president with this large a percentage of the vote. it was not close. it, in f
