You can also catch up with us on social media. On twitter cspanwj. A good sunday morning to you. We begin with this question to our viewers. Shut the Clinton Campaign participate in the recount . That is taking place in wisconsin. The headline, Clinton Campaign joins the wisconsin recount. Noting the possibility of outside interference in the election is being explored. This has been picked up this morning. This is from the new york clintonoting that lawyers say evidence of hacking remains elusive. That is the clinton teams general counsel, and he wrote a post yesterday on the website medium explaining the reasons the Clinton Campaign is participating in this recount, that was initiated by the Jill Stein Campaign, the Green Party Candidate for president. Because we have not uncovered any evidence of hacking or outside attempts to influence the election, we had not planned to exercise the option, but now we intend to participate in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sites. If jill stein has followed in michigan and pennsylvania, we will take the same approach in those states. We do so aware that the number of votes separating donald trump and Hillary Clinton exceeds the gest margin ever overcome exceeds the margin ever overcome in a recount. Monitor the recount process we will be on the ground. We believe we have an obligation to the 64 million americans who cast ballots for Hillary Clinton to participate and ensure that an accurate vote cap will be reported. This news is coming out over this holiday weekend. The certification process underway in many of the states before the electoral votes. These recount efforts have to take place very quickly. We will go over the timelines. Your calls. James in which a washington. A democrat. Caller good morning. The election was rigged. Supporters were doing. They were using reverse psychology. It was only a few states they had to change the results. I am a computer expert. Machines can be changed because they run off of a wireless router. Donald trump steam, what they actually did is the reason they said the election was rigged and there were not accept the results. These were all republican governors and secretaries of state. It happened before. It was a machine programmed by a man and it can be manipulated. Guest host it sounds like you are blaming the Trump Campaign. About outside influence and outside hackers outside the United States. Caller not outside the United States. These were inside. They changed the results that were reported. This is what actually happened. Host we will go to mike in maryland. Republican. Go ahead. Caller i just wanted to remind everybody that on november 15, Hillary Clintons speech, she said not excepting the outcome of the election was a direct threat to our democracy. I am wondering why she host youre talking about her comments in october. Caller yes. Host joe in florida. Good morning. Caller absolutely they need to recount. The republicans cheat always. They dont care if they cheat. They only care if they win. Host were taking your calls for the first 45 minutes on this question. Should the Clinton Campaign participate in this recount effort . Republicans 202 7488001. Independents 202 7488002. Tweets about this from dr. Jill stein, the Green Party Candidate that has initiated this recount effort and is funding this effort. She wrote on her twitter page yesterday, has anyone wondered why no other campaign requested a recount with so many questionable results . Experts pointed us to these three states. To exploring any state if deadlines permit. Why would Hillary Clinton who conceded the election want a recount in 2016 . You cannot be on again off again about democracy donald trump wrote, the green party scam to fill up their coffers is being joined now by the badly defeated and demoralized democrats. He put out a polar statement yesterday. The people have spoken, the election is over. As Hillary Clinton set herself on election night, we must accept the results and look to the future. This recount is just a way for jill stein who received less than 1 of the vote overall to fill her coffers with money. All three states were won by large numbers of voters, bynsylvania was won 70,000. Results of this election should be respected instead of being challenged and abused, which is exactly what jill stein is doing. Matt, democrat. What do you think about this recount effort . Caller yes. Good morning. I am all for this. It is about time. You talk about people crying out. If donald trump has nothing to fear with a recount, why not . Want is a quickly is what i think the democrats should push for is unbinding the electors to the Electoral College in pennsylvania, wisconsin, and michigan and have been cast votes for hillary instead of donald trump. She won the popular vote by 2 million. These electors are not legally bound to vote for whoever won the popular vote in those days. To me it is ridiculous that these three states in the Electoral College elect a president who got 2 million less votes than hillary. Is this democracy . Notes,s the l. A. Times the electors will cast their ballots on december 19. Frank is in virginia. Republican. What do you think about this recount effort . Caller i think the main problem with jill stein and Hillary Clinton and john podesta and brazile is that they are losers and idiots. If anything needs to be checked is california and new york to see the crooked part of the selection. I help the democrats keep nancy pelosi as the leader in congress because she will get rid of a few more secrets for us. You set up our question at the end of our show today. We will be asking just democrats whether nancy pelosi should remain House Minority leader. She is being challenged in that election for the leadership taking place this week among House Democrats. We will talk about that in the last 45 minutes of the program today. Participate in this recount effort . Independent in indiana. Go ahead. Caller my beliefs are what thing, the thirdparty you know will not get to 5 for federal support to move on as a party. You should drop out and concede the race so you are not a spoiler. If you are a spoiler, the least arecan do is when there irregularities. When you look at michigan when trump. Won by you look at wisconsin, decided by about 27,000 votes. She got more than that. Have a little bit of responsibility there because 60 youfore election cannot really change the ballot. Should Hillary Clinton participate . Yes, because even in indiana where i am from, you look at reportednty, the polls the biggest turnout in 16 years lesset the results show 5 participation by population. You see the same thing in west lafayette. You see the same thing in marion county. Im not saying she would have flipped the state for donald trump, but there are irregularities. Unless you have the paper ballots and you have an optical scan so you have a popular record, then we should have audits that are routine. Host that is indiana. Here are more on the numbers and how the process works. Andld trump won 1,000,004 votes, 1. 4 million hillary but it had 1. 3 million votes. Byl stein has the file monday for a recount in pennsylvania. The results in that state are not technically certified until monday. The New York Times in their story noting who is paying for this and who is not. The Clinton Campaign will not contribute financially to the effort, which has been funded by small contributions, but it will pay to have its own lawyers present at the recount according to Campaign Officials. Bloomberg notes that donald trump will have a Campaign Official overseeing this process as well. On fridaynald mcgann, he was selected as white house counsel. He will be the point person on the wisconsin recount for the republicans. He joined senior staff on briefings regarding the latest development. Here is a story from cbs news about him when he was appointed white house counsel. The story noting that he was general counsel to Donald Trumps campaign and he has worked on the transition process. He is currently a partner in washington dc specializing in political law and a former sec mission German Commission chairman. Democrat. K, go ahead. Caller good morning. Heres my comment. Yes, she should participate in this. I would like the republicans, especially republicans loyal to our constitution to listen to what im going to say next. She should participate because this campaign was wrapped in hatred and violence. As we have seen in washington, d. C. , distinct evidence of nazi imagery and ideology. We should keep our eyes open on that. That is why i think we should have this recount. Host what about the concern by some republicans that this is not helping in the healing process from all of that anger and that conflict you were just talking about from the election, that this only continues that for days or weeks or however long this process takes, that for the country to come together they shouldnt move on and accept the results . Caller that extremism, not see extremism is not a moderate form of ideology. That is exactly what has been expressed in the rallies and in washington. Every one of those 200 people gets 10 people to follow them, that is 2000. Those 2000, thats another three or four people, you can do the math. You have to look at that and examine and discuss it in public discourse. Host republican in indiana. Caller [inaudible] spencer . T is that, you have to stay on the line. We will go to corey in pennsylvania. Independent. Go ahead. Caller i have said it before, and i will say it again. I would not believe anything Hillary Clinton had to say. I would not believe are if she stood up on a sack of bibles. Tell her to go retire in that mansion she built herself out of everybodys sweat and tears in guatemala. Old hold billy with her billy with her. Host dorothy in connecticut go ahead. Caller my answer is yes. Can you hear me . Host go ahead. Caller she should participate. That is one big flaw that the Democratic Party has. Voters are not encouraged to come out in great numbers because they have no spine. They will not stand up. Here is a woman who will not stand up for herself . How can she stand up for anybody else . Another thing i would like to to is that she agreed not contest the election, but that is provided it was fair. Donald trump known for blaming the democrats for what they are doing, that reverse psychology, is exactly what they are doing. There is too much discrepancy in the voting and how the Electoral College you know, how the votes were just so close and all of the main places. No. There is something wrong. If the democrats dont stand up to this, they wont be you know, they just going to destroy the party because republicans are out thinking them, and they they areng as if dealing with people who have character and ethics. They have none. They are racists and oligarchs and hatemongers. Kellyanne conway, Donald Trumps campaign manager, said a statement yesterday. This is from the bloomberg story about it. What a pack of sore losers, after asking donald trump and his team will he accept the Election Results, it turns out hillary and their new bff jill stein cannot accept reality rather than adhere to the tradition of graciously conceding, they have opted to waste millions of dollars and dismiss the democratic process. The people have spoken. Here is what some viewers wrote on twitter. Maybe they should ask hillary if she would respect the count . Of course all the votes were for hillary. If hillary wants to be further humiliated, we should go for it. One more comment from michael, in herd, jill stein is glory, she gets to be the center of attention. Your thoughts on twitter and facebook. You can also call in like thomas, an independent. Good morning. Are you with us . There you go. Sorry. Had to hit the button. Caller i just wanted to say election is really not about hillary or donald trump. It is about the people. How do you get 2 million voters that it is just like they never even voted . They voted for hillary, yet the underdog, donald trump wins the election. It is not make sense. It does not make sense. Host brenda in arizona, go ahead. Caller i am in arkansas. It starts with the same letter. Absolutely has a right to ask for a recount. Is none has said there chance, but if she wants to do that, that is fine. She needs to think about this. 900 stateicans took legislator seats. 60 house seats. 14 governors, and 11 senate seats. If the democrats had done this and donald trump won, i would say maybe something was going on. This was ridiculous. It was a sweep. Donald trump was a whole movement. People were sick of this. They were sick of the media and the people on television, including cspan, who i love. Everybody was biased against donald trump. They were tired of it. They make him out to be something he is not. He is not racist or antijewish. His daughter and grandchildren and soninlaw are jewish. Why would he dislike jewish people . Hillary lost. She was a hateful person. She had no personality. Donald trump brought it and brought the people run. He worked like a dog. He did 20 or 30 a week rallies. Hillary was a bit. Saw that. Orkers they did not want someone who just expected them to vote for them. Those 2 million votes were probably from illegal, all from california. Obama even encouraged the illegals to vote. Maybe we ought to recount california. Thank you for letting me have my say even though my family will stop talking to me now. Brenda pointed out, it would take a lot more than a wisconsin recount to overturn the results of the election as new York Magazine points out when they started talking about this last weekend. Article started a lot of this discussion in many of the political circles where this has been discussed. They pointed out it would take along with wisconsin, michigan, and pennsylvania. Only then would the math workout in a scenario where Hillary Clinton would have more electoral votes than donald trump. That story from last week. This is november 22. Noted that Hillary Clinton was being urged by a group of prominent computer scientists to call for the recount in those three swing states that were won by donald trump. The Jill Stein Campaign is actually initiating this recount. The hillary Clinton Campaign participating in the process. Granite city, illinois, a democrat. Good morning. Go ahead. Caller thank you very much. I think that it is fair for Hillary Clinton to have a recount. I voted in granite city. I have not seen anything like it before where you have had to go to a poll and have two ids. You also have to have a drivers license and a state id. Most people do not have two. They cannot afford them. I wanted to point out that in i was there. There were a lot of ballots laying on the ground. Voting ballots. Been blowing in the wind. Mexicana predominantly community. Thank you very much. Host that is illinois. Politico in their story notes that the white house is insisting that hackers did not sway the results of the election even as the results recount begins. The Obama Administration saying they have seen no evidence of election tampering. We stand behind our Election Results, which accurately reflect the will of the American People. That is according to a Senior Administration official. That official said that the federal government did not observe any increased level of malicious cyber activity aimed at disrupting the electoral process on election day. Our elections were free and fair from a Cyber Security perspective. Randall, kansas, republican. It. Go ahead. Caller hi believe this smacks of i believe this smacks of al gore in 2000. They demanded recount and recount and recount. Hillary clinton needs to accept it. She said she would accept the recount, and now she says, well i want a recount. I think she just needs to let it go. She had a good campaign. I did not vote for her. She had a good message. She fell. She just needs to move on. In my opinion. That is all i have to say about it. Thank you. Host vivienne on twitter says the recount will help in the healing process when it confirms that donald trump won. How is it that democrats were so shellacked across the board and hillary actually one wisconsin, michigan, and pennsylvania . Talking about the states that have been the talk of this recount. As we noted, the Clinton Campaign said they would treat any efforts in michigan and pennsylvania the same way they are treating wisconsin, participating in that process. Arlene, miami, florida, democrat. Go ahead. Caller i believe that Hillary Clinton should participate, but she should stand back and let jill stein take the lead in this is hillary should still be campaigning to the electorate. Are still note aware that it is the electoral vote that chooses the presence and not the popular vote. She already won by 2 million votes in the popular vote. That is not an argument. The focus has to be on the Electoral College. A lot of those electoral votes were probably committed to hillary, but they changed the mind the week bef
