senators and numbers of congress in washington dc, when those people have the right to write the same laws that affect us in blue states from red states or purple states. our thinking has to shift because my friends, let me tell you, if you are not realized this, the republican's thinking has shifted. they are investing money in all states on all levels and if we continue to only think of the presidential thing as the only operation and the only goal for the dnc, we will continue to governors that a republican. shift.tality has to we have to be more than just a presidential party. and is so that means we have to budget. we set the budget and say we are going to dedicate this amount of money for state parties in whatever, then that is what the budget is. regardless of the presidential election, we have a commitment. we have made a commitment to our state parties in the territories and democrats abroad and we have to stick to that commitment, regardless if you're a blue state or red state. each presidential candidate, when the, try to get the combination, they need to understand that. t

[laughter] mr. boehner: that is just me being me, sorry. back then, sweeney and i, we could work something out and cut some deals. it would be a day or two before it would end up in the press somewhere. not these days. i remember i would have to go meet with president obama and have to organize a way to sneak to the white house, because if i walked into the white house like i would normally do, the right wing press would just go nuts. you can imagine. frankly, the left wing press wo

"washington journal." host: we want to welcome samuel morison, from the office of the pardons until 2010, a long background in the issue of presidential pardons. let's go to the u.s. constitution, article two, section two, clause one, "the president shall have power to grant pardons for offenses against the united states, except in cases of impeachment." what does that mean? guest: the president of the united states can relieve somebody of the consequences of the commission of an offense. it does not apply only to conviction, it applies to the commission of the offense. any time after it occurs, the president can grant a full pardon, which would end the criminal process, or he can grant a more limited form of relief, which is a reduction of sense. -- sentence. that assumes the person has been convicted and sentenced. other than that, the other constraints have to be found in the constitution, so you cannot prevent his administration from being impeached. that is what the impeachment clause refers to. he al

,dave in washington, a democrat. caller: good afternoon to everyone. as my professorial colleague mr. hardaway knows, there is no constitutional provision or federal law that requires electors to vote according to the results. in fact, some state laws, even though they ask electors to vote according to the elect all ,ollege -- electoral college they simply call them faithless electors and impose a fine. it is important for electors out there today to realize that they are not bound -- we live in a federal system. trumps state law. there is no constitutional provision that requires those electors to vote against their free decision and their conscience. the fine we know that is very small, de minimis. talking about 1876, we have a problem here that is truly regenerate a we have a foreign, hostile power that has been found by education by the fbi and cia to have interfered with the democratic process. host: before you hang up, tell us about yourself and your background. i am a professor of law, before that a practicing lawyer for 20 years. what we learne

places like washington, d.c. and new york and california should not be viewed by democrats as just a political atm. as a matter of fact, they are not just places where you get a check, they have done really good things out there in california on climate, on criminal justice. we ought to look at them as a model of how to organize. when need to stop segmenting each other and see each other as true allies to rebuild this party. now, weay to you right have to energize activists at the grassroots, and unite all throughout this country. we have to give black lives matter people a place were they can express themselves electorally. 15have to give the fight for , they have to be able to -- the fight for 15 -- we have to give them a party that they feel good about expressing themselves, like totally. the immigration activists have to have a place where they feel that the party is listening to them. place for thee a folks who fight for climate justice and addressing climate to have a place where they have a party or they c

when the washington, d.c. police hand over someone who is wanted by the state of california on a warrant, they are not in forcing california law. they are cooperating. and that is what ice is asking for. and ice is really the only agency that is blocked in this way. and the other reason that we know that these issues of constitutionality and costs are not really the purpose for sanctuary policies is because when ice then offered to pay any costs to that agency for holding that individual, the sanctuaries still say no. ice has done everything it can to try to overcome these supposed excuses for not cooperating, and they still don't cooperate. why doesn't ice give criminal warrants? number one, there's not such thing, and any agency that asks for a criminal warrant with a detainer might as well ask to have it delivered by a blue unicorn because it doesn't exist. they know it does not exist. it is a way to give themselves ome cover. what this debate is really about is who gets to decide when the immigration laws

when i landed last night in washington and i got the messages, i tell you, i was a bit sad and and a bit disappointed. i really felt that wasn't a role for president elect trump to go after chuck jones. what chuck was doing was in fact terrifying. he has a responsibility to the members of his local union. and when he heard that there were going to be 1100 jobs saved those families were excited to have a shot at some security. when he investigated that is when he found out there were 780 jobs to be saved and 70 management jobs. and he had a responsibility to get the message out. and then he got slammed. and we said very early on. we wrote to president elect trump after the election. and said on the things you want to work on weir willing to work with you. we want to replace the south korean trade deal, etc., but we also want to have the same position as the president elect. when a company fires people and brings job to another off shore country and then wants to bring those jobs back in and sell them in america, that is not right and president elect -- >> so you have a lot in common o

[gavel pound] >> the committee will come to order. good afternoon. i want to begin by thanking the members as well as the panelists, all of whom are present, for participating in today's forum on the electoral college. we are holding this panel because recent elections and public sentiment have made it clear that there are serious problems with the present system for electing our president in -- president and vice president. we begin with the fact that hillary clinton received more than 2.5 million more popular votes than donald trump, the largest divergence between the popular and electoral vote in our nation's history. this constitutes the very definition of anti-democratic in my view. under our current system,

they believe that washington is about washington and not about them, and here comes a guy who says blow it all up. i'm different. i'm not bought. i'm going to help you. i'm going to speak to the heartland. he took repeated trips. >> the guy who said that was bernie sanders. what trump did -- he took that message but 'also added other stuff that was disturbing, didn't he? >> well, let me say this. as the white man who grew up in integrated schools, and i'd say in many ways was on the front edge of integration. there were schools that were white and then we had our first african american young man come when i was in fifth grade, and by the time, and i was in the first white class to go to bernie hills high school in athens georgia that was a black high school at the time, and by the way, i've been beat up because of my race. i have been a victim of what would be called a hate crime now. but i'm also secure in who i am racially, and i don't need donald trump or the media or whoever to define me racially, and so -- >> a representative. first of all, if you were victimized, i think that's te

in washington, if you have two kids, the cost is $22,000 a year. we wanted to triple the child tax credit. that could add 500,000 women into the workplace. our friend said no. when reagan was president we had about $800 billion in tax loopholes. now we have $1.3 trillion per year. all the economists here at georgetown, tell me you can justify more than $600 billion to $800 billion of that is generating a social good or productivity? we wanted to incentivize companies to bring profits home, bring operations back home. our friends said no. in the end, we just didn't have the republican votes in the congress. so, let me just say to you all, this is not your father's republican party. all of a sudden -- i remember all the years i served in the senate. infrastructure was pushed more by republicans than by democrats. literally, not figuratively. there was a consensus on a range of things, like the basic bargain that if you contribute to the well-being of the outfit you work for, you get to share in the benefits. that was the basic bargain. democrats and

you pass about -- i'm doing this by memory, two pictures of jefferson, three of washington, two of both roosevelts, you have a room next to you called the roosevelt. the nobel peace prize. can't we just put a tyler in there, a pierce in there? you walk by all these oil paintings of the icons. what president doesn't want to swing for the fences? i think what may make him slightly different is what personal political price he's willing to pay for that public -- what he believes is a policy priority where other people would -- not that they wouldn't do it, but they woulden in decide we're going to go x percent. i think swinging from the fences, every president, every one of us in public life share that ambition. i say that in a very positive way. they want to leave their thumb mark, that's part of life. >> that was rahm emanuel. now mayor of chicago, of course. next i want to play you a bit of my interview with the president. listen in. >> was there a moment or a period that you remember thinking to yourself with that background, with that name, with the way you look, the american people c

. >>> hello, i'm jake tapper in washington where the state of our union is still quite divided. almost one month after donald trump defeated hillary clinton, officials from both campaigns are still raw and emotional, bitter and angry, more offended than introspective. hillary clinton won the popular vote white donald trump easily surpassed the 270 electoral votes needed to win the white house. today we're going to bring you something rarely seen. both major presidential campaign managers sitting together, doing a joint interview, discussing how we got here. a conversation both enlightening and contentious. trump's kellyanne conway and clinton's robbie mook, each dedicated their lives to the singular task of seeing the other have a bad night in november. i sat down with them at harvard university's institute of politics to go behind the scenes of one of the most unprecedented and ugly campaigns in modern history. >> robbie, i know there are a lot of people here, especially here at harvard, who are wondering, what happened? what went wrong. obviously hillary clinton won the popula

let's talk to two people in the room, the two jeffs, jeff zeleny is back with us, washington correspondent and bernie sanders campaign manager jeff weaver. so great to have both of you on and my goodness, where to begin. jeff zeleny, to you first. i mean, i know this happened over the course of two days last nig night. when did things take a turn for the worse. >> well, brooke, that clip you played right there was around the conversation of steve bannon, of course the chief strategist at the end of the campaign for the trump campaign who is the former executive for breitbart news. it was at that point that jennifer palmieri decided to make her argument about the elephant in the room. up until then it was a civil discussion but one thing to keep in mind. it may look like emotions were running out of control. that's partially true but the clinton campaign team came in there with a purpose of trying to be the last time to defend hillary clinton. this is viewed as a first draft of history, i've gone to the last five of these since the bush v. gore one in 2000. i can tell you this was much more

>> wolf, we had tremendous response to senator sanders' piece at "the washington post." i think he effectively served notice he wants to be one of the leaders of the loyal opposition to president-elect trump, and i think in the long-term, his message might be successful. this idea that company after company might come to the administration and ask for handouts or tax breaks in order to not move their jobs overseas. but in the short term, i think it's going to be a tough argument for democrats, because right now you have president-elect trump take thing victory lap saying however small or unorthodox, he was able to save a thousand jobs of the people in indiana. >> that's going to resonate politically, of course. jeffrey toobin, trump did a bit of gloating today, bragging about when he won the indiana primary. during his election night victory speech, he pledged to be the president for all americans, even those who didn't vote for him. should the president-elect strike right now a more conciliatory, unifying tone, instead of that relitigating the campaign? >> you know, may
