ashley: i know a liz is a huge fan of harry reid and i say that tongue firmly in cheek. so he's talking about the need for healing, unity and here he is blasting donald trump over steve bannon's appointment. your thoughts. >> the left is giddy that they have steve bannon to focus on. let's remember he didn't become any chief of staff or anything else in the white house. he's going to be a senior advisor and we don't really know what that portends. harry reid has made his reputation being a vicious attack dog, talking on the floor of the senate how mitt romney never paid taxes over a decade and everyone knew it was false and to this day he's proud of it. he never backs down, the best thing he ever did. this is a man you should not listen to and not believe in and i really, i'm delighted to see the door close on harry reid. ashley: is there any pressure, focus on steve bannon. liz: the wall street journal says it would doom the trump presidency. ashley: the journal says that. liz: yes, wall street journal, white grievance policy should not be near the wlous. >> in fact las

spokesman for harry reid democrat in nevada, easy to see why the kkk sees trump as champion, one of the most peddlers of white supremacist. reince priebus the republican national committee chairman, mastery of ground became and mechanics of election earring help within donald trump the white house. >> steve bannon that i know is guy really on the same page with a lot of, almost everything that i agree with as far as advising president-elect trump. so i haven't seen any of these things that people are crying out about. but look, it's a good team. it works. people saw the last few months in the campaign it worked very well. reporter: also while many commentators saw fbi director james comey's job being in jeopardy no matter who won the election, this morning he may stand on somewhat firmer ground as president-elect trump told "60 minutes" he would like to meet with comey before keeping on or say, you're required. >> james, thank you so much. martha: fascinating what can we take away from the president-elect's first two picks? reince priebus, long time head of rnc, friend of house speaker

harry reid, we know about his ability to turn out voters. so, i ithink democrats feel confident about that one but it will be a very big state for republicans to be able to win. host: david is calling in from crab orchard, west virginia. on our independent line. caller: good morning. everybody is complaining about the republican senate blocking the supreme court justices. is anybody really out there think that if donald trump wins and the democrats take over the senate, that they will sing kumbayah and nominate his supreme court nominees? are they going to block them just like the republicans are right now. also, remember back when president obama and hillary clinton was running for president, they promised all these things they were going to do, fix immigration. they were going to make the rich pay to include bill clinton. he said he could pay more. they had two years, almost four years, filibuster proof. and and none of these promises they promised, both of them, got done. host: let's give james arkin a chance to respond. guest: he brought

reid. what is your assessment of that race? jennifer: that has been an interesting race. the republican joe heck has been doing well. when the access hollywood take came out he walked away from trump. he unendorsed him. that angered a lot of republicans in the state which did not help him. yesterday he seemed to change course again, which i'm not sure is a winning proposal. the hispanic voters will make the difference. they are going to turn out to vote. democrats have a very strong ground game. republicans who are accountable -- uncomfortable for voting for heck have a place to go. they have the option to vote for none of the above. i think democrats hold the seat. steve: jennifer duffy from the

republicans would love nothing profile seat with minority leader harry reid retiring. so very, very tight. the energy certainly picking up republican people here have been seen coming through. but when it comes to nevada itself, we do not know yet. both the presidential and the senate race too close to call here at this point. >> jonathan hunt live with us in nevada, thank you. i want to look at the states up for grabs a the this moment. new numbers coming in. let's look at florida. that's florida now. the same numbers, 95% in. point lead. north carolina now 83% of all precincts reporting. wake county is still out. that will give hillary clinton a boost. will it be enough? we cannot know. too close to call. the state of ohio. donald trump maintaining just about a 10-point lead. now getting more like an 11-point lead now with 74% of all precincts reporting in ohio. this list of states we have been watching. virginia there you see, fox news has called for hillary clinton. it's certainly very close. 84% of all precincts reporting, but based on the statistic analysis done

. >> reporter: harry reid said through an aide, president-elect trump's choice of steve bannon as his top aide signals white view president-elect trump si s supremacists will be represented. >> i haven't seen any of these things that people are crying out about. look, it's a good team. it works. if people saw the last few months in the campaign, it worked very well. >> reporter: despite such assurances, west wing veterans and students of its workings predicted trouble between two such different men and warned against the creation of rival power centers at the down of a presidency. >> donald trump got elected with a pretty broad coalition of perspectives and views around the country. so all of that needs to be reflected in the white house. but i think the white house runs well only if there is one chief of staff clearly in charge. >> reporter: they interviewed all the living chiefs of staff for his book. >> from watergate to iran contra to the war in iraq to the rollout of obamacare, the chief of staff makes a difference between success and failure. one of the critical things is not on

and harry reid writing, it is easy to see why the kkk views trump as their trump appoints one of the most foremost peddlers of white supremest themes as his top aide. they defend him, saying he wasn't anti-semitic because, quote, he was a managing partner at goldman sachs. >> as for trump's business dealers, he's so far refusing calls to put his company in a blind trust, as previous presidents have. while his trump university looks to delay the hearing that was for good measure, though, trump says he will not accept the $400,000 salary the president receives annually. in fact, he's electing to be paid just $1 a year for the job. >> a new poll finds that a full third of clinton backers say trump's election is not legitimate. as for hillary clinton, later today, she's expected to make a brief call to democratic house members and the president will call the democratic national committee as the party looks to find a new headf the nation's first muslim congressman, keith ellison, is in the lead, having received the endorsement of harry reid. while president bill clinton says one of the re

senate minority leader harry reid was quick to sound the ala alarm. his spokesman, president trump's nomination of steve bannon means white supremacists will be in the highest levels in the trump white house. and this is a concern, because, brian stelter, you have people who say bright bart has become a form for the quote/unquote alt right, old school, still repackaged white supremacists, white nationalists, and there are many people concerned with what harry reid is saying that now there is that voice in the white house. >> this is not a normal presidential appointment and sometimes on cable news and newspapers all of these sorts of things seem alike. they all seem similar. this is not. this is not a normal presidential appointment. steve bannon is not someone who would have been comfortable or fitting in, in a bush white house or an obama white house. he wouldn't have fit into a democrat or a republican administration, goes to show how unusual this trump administration is. he is reince priebus on the one hand but steve bannon on the other. kellyanne
