Knows when hes saying these things. rick scott, same thing, jumping all over this process. marco rubio, not even on the ballot, lying repeatedly about his own accusations ability fraud activity taking place there. totally different climate there. >> reporter: completely different. youre absolutely right about that. and i would just say from a civic perspective, not a red or blue, theres good news and bad news. the bad news is what you just articulated, you have clearly several republican officia...

The counting is going forward. and when you get the bluster out of the way we ultimately get a ruling and decision who actually won this thing. >> and john, how much pressure does this put on the florida outcome for republicans? they just lot a seat and the vote they were going to get out of arizona would have been a pretty reliable republican vote in the senate. now theyve lost that, and theyve got a very reliable potential vote out of florida with rick scott if they can get him. >> we are back...

The opportunity to show if hes really serious about that. maria: let me ask you congressman in terms of the oversight role, because youre going to have a very key role in terms of oversight being a member of the judiciary committee, obviously, and looking at some of this oversight investigations that you mentioned do you want to see the presidents tax returns? we know that the senate is the majority and the senate is republican. is this going to be just a big waste of time given the fact that we...

Weekend? >> i think what were seeing on the world stage is the hypocrisy of donald trump. i think it gets lost to a lot of his supporters. when you look at him sending the military to the border before the election because of this so-called invasion thats a thousand miles away, when he responds to michelle obamas book by attacking barack obamas funding of the military as if thats the number one thing that hes done, and then he goes to europe and he cant go pay honor to the troops that have come ...

He has an umbrella to cover his hair. hes doing that at this point right now. i want to go to you and get from you. there were other world leaders who visited a different cemetery. there were a lot of split screens i saw on social media showing other world leaders paying their respects to their countrys war dead. this was something that was not just for the american president but really all western world leaders kind of coming together to commemorate this great and tragic war. >> look, joy, i th...

Story has been overshadowed by the multiple stories that came out of that contentious press conference. one reason i asked him about russia and about china is the president had made a big deal earlier this fall of saying that china was intervening in the election. he did so during a pretty dramatic u.n. security council meeting. its important for us to watch and see if that was bluster or if they come out with some real evidence about that and obviously the role of russia continues to be a super...

Re-election the states that did vote on senators have about 75% of the population. you see there, overall, did you know more people in those races backed democrats by 15 points overall? its the smaller states that went republican that get the same number of senators under our constitution. then in the race where i mentioned every vote can count at this hour a 6% edge over republicans. when past president versus lost the house, they admit it. >> if you look at race by race, it was close. the cumu...

He is basically getting ready for a major confrontation. >> thats right. i do think there is a reality check in order. the republicans did weapon size the house intelligence committee. devon nunez was sort of an attack dog. im not sure the senate intelligence committee will be in the mood for launching investigations into whoever he thinks is leaking information. he would like to talk about dianne feinstein during the run up to the mid terms as somebody who leaked information. he was accusing he...

Narrative that "its everybody." there are outliers. you can build upon that. do ever think that a maga rally is going to be a fun place for jim acosta? no. but i think those moments are good. i think its good for him to highlight it, as well. to keep up with the kind of bluster and reputation for how difficult it is for him there. he could have not mentioned it. also, giving the finger and some of the obscenities that are screamed are very different. i would rather get the finger then have that ...

On strengthen the case that roger stone was a potential back channel to the trump campaign to the wikileaks which was getting a lot of stolen hacked e-mails from the russians? >> wolf, intelligence members, of course, cant get into classified matters, but let me tell you what i think the bottom line is today. if roger stone and steve bannon were coordinating with wikileaks, it seems to me that raises a wide variety of potential criminal and civil violation. >> well talk a little bit about that. ...
