as peter alluded to, the downside may be that some of these people may not have been vetted properly. are your sources within the trurp administration sort of realizing that this is an open flank for them or just full steam ahead as they would like to argue ahead of schedule and under budget? i think there s a little bit of worry. usually the case is during the transition, the transition kicks off after the conventions. they start vetting people way before we know who s going to win. you may have wasted a lot of time by vetting people you will never use. the problem here is that the transition on the trump side was not run so efficiently and they weren t vetting people. so the vetting only began after trump won and so there s only been a few weeks of it. you re talking about obviously the key names we know but there s thousands of people beyond that who you want to know, are they clean, will they look good and will they represent the administration well. any other names you re
the party at a grassroots level. every day will be a policy test of which party is going to speak up for the working people of the country and the policies to help them get ahead. it will be a test for both parties. if president-elect trurp or people in congress think president-elect trump was elected with a compelling mandate, he wasn t. a majority of the people didn t vote for him and his policies. he s 2.5 million votes behind hillary clinton in the popular vote. i m not saying that changes the outcome of the election, but people need to be mindful of that. when you look at who people thought was caring about people like them, people who rated the economy the number one issue, hillary clinton did better among voters who believe those things than donald trump. i think both parties need to be mindful of that and figure out how to work together to make
back the blue collar jobs that helped build the middle class. billionaire investor carl icahn is one of trump s biggest supporters on wall street. i spoke with him on friday about what the president-elect can do for those americans. let s see what trurp said when he was talking about hedge fund managers, he said they wouldn t be happy with his tax plan because they would be forced to pay the same tax as everyone else. listen to what he said on msnbc back in august. we re going to simplify the tax code, take away some of the deductions and hedge fund guys have to pay up. i m going to lower taxes, but these hedge fund buys are making lower taxes, i can tell you i have friends who laugh about how much they pay. and it s not fair to the middle income people and the middle class, we re destroying that, that s what built this country, we are destroying the middle class in this country, i will have a plan, the hedge fund guys
that does not include trump s threat to sue at least a dozen people who accused him of sexual misconduct. every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign. total fabrication. the events never happened. never. all of these liars will be sued after the election is over. and joining me now is attorney lisa bloom who represents two of trump s accusers and newsweek s senior writer kirk ikens abowald. trurp has now accused his accusers of being liars and threatening to sue them. this is gloria allred with summer who s one of the accusers. take a listen. i challenge him to seize this
hand, but he s going out and claiming he s going to do well among african-american and latino voters basically because he s say he s going to do well. they re also trying to talk about these e-mails, talking about corruption. he s talking about you know, how the fbi could not have gone through 650,000 e-mails, it s a talking point we re hearing from a number of trurp surrogates and the campaign right now even though there s technology to do that. he s trying to leave it on the table. going in and at time, he is hitting some favorite theme, talking about the wall, about a ban of some sort. although not a muslim ban, more like an extremist ban. but he s hitting five states he needs to win in florida, north carolina, pennsylvania, new hampshire, where i am right now. and michigan. because he s got to find a way to turn a blue state red. now, in the upper midwest what
