>> you know, it's going to be very telling about the next couple of years, john. one thing that i think we're going to hear from the president today is that this is the fourth quarter of his administration. that is something that we are hearing from white house officials last night, that he is eager to get to work, that he wants to put these midterms behind him. and they were sounding fairly pugnacious last night over here at the white house saying you know what? the republicans need to tell us they want to compromise with us. there was a slight shift in tone this morning, john and michaela when we talked to a white house official early this morning. this official told me, look, they are clear eyed about this result last night and when they say "they," they mean the president as well. he's also fully recognizing what occurred last night. and at the same time the white house is saying that they are prepared to deal with a republican congress. the white house chief of staff, den ninis mcdonough has been reaching out quietly to quarters across washington to start chart ago path forward. as you mentioned, john and michaela, it's a path they are not familiar with -- one dominated by a republican congress. >> it's interesting. you mentioned the tone there. i'm very curious and i'm sure a lot of people will be watching. the tone, not just what the president says when he speaks around 3:00 p.m. eastern today but how he says it. his body language, his energy, his vibe. >> that's right. i agree and, you know, the last time around when this happens in 2010 that's when the republican waves started. you could say maybe it took a break in 2012 and then continued last night. the president back in 2010 called it a shellacking. we'll be looking for a similar adjective today. perhaps they've got the he is the zaurus out in the white house communications office. but beyond the bodily language and semantics, i will be asked about the policies. last night they said he will take executive action on immigration reform by the end of the year. there's a lot of republicans who would like to do immigration reform because it would help with the demographics before 2016. if the president can short circuit that ahead of time that might poisen the well and when i asked white house officialings, they said, you know what, republicans had their chance to do immigration reform. so there's a combativeness in the sense that they're looking at two more years of gridlock but no question about it, the president is a lame duck starting today and he has to start thinking about his legacy and that's something we'll be listening for around 3:00 at the white house. >> it will be interesting. maybe a second coat of that shellac is what it calls for. jim acosta, thanks so much. in 2010 he had 2012 for redemption. this time around the question is what does he have to look forward to other than policy in the next two years? >> and that legacy point is a very good thing. i'll watch that as well. president obama expected to address all of this. he's at about 2:50 eastern time. mitch mcconnell the senate majority leader we expect to speak at 2:00 p.m. eastern. you can watch it all right here on cnn. ahead for us at this hour, though, republicans making history. the gop winning the most seats it has held in the house since world war ii. also making history with this young woman. this is mia love. she is the first republican black woman to be elected to congress. look at that smile. she joins us next. >> plus with the midterms over and this big republican win, what are potential presidential candidates going to start to do? >> there's no rush in making this kind of decision. and i think there's no reason to russia decision as important as this. >> we are sure he's not thinking about it. we'll talk about this coming up. hello... i'm an idaho potato farmer and our big idaho potato truck is still missing. so my buddy here is going to help me find it. here we go. woo who, woah, woah, woah. it's out there somewhere spreading the word about americas favorite potatoes: heart healthy idaho potatoes and the american heart association's go red for women campaign. if you see it i hope you'll let us know. always look for the grown in idaho seal. great rates and safety working in harmony. open an optimizer plus account from synchrony bank. service. security. savings. synchrony bank engage with us. if it doesn't work fast... you're on to the next thing. neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repair has the fastest retinol formula to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles in just one week. neutrogena®. to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles in just one week. heyou can get greatds honey! discounts on 1-800-flowers.com...oh... roadside assistance from allstate, and avis, budget and budget truck. all in one place... aarpdiscounts.com. popcorn?

[ cheers and applause ] not only did we do it, we were the first to do it. [ cheers and applause ] >> yes, they did. momentous for many reasons. that was mia love who just won a congressional race in utah. she is now part of this new bigger majority for the republicans in the house of representatives. besides gaining control of the senate, we should note that they have more members now in the house. >> we should tell you -- and this is phenomenal, as we just mentioned -- she is making history. she becomes the first republican black american woman ever elected to congress. congresswoman elect mia love joins us right now from salt lake city. we have to tell you first off congratulations. i want you share with us how you're feeling and tell us why this time around -- because we know you tried in 2012 -- why you won this time. >> well, first of all i'm excited. i'm absolutely humbled. i have been able to go out and talk to so many people in the fourth district and listen to their stories, listen to what's happening and the conversations that they're having at the kitchen table and listening to how washington's actually been able to go out and tell their story so i'm humbled and inspired by their strength and courage. i'm -- i'm so proud to be a utahen. i'm so proud of this state i can hardly stand it. >> proud because they made history. you are the first black republican woman to be elected to the house of representatives. so two questions, what took so long? and what do you think needs to happen? what do you think needs to happen for more minorities to be elect bid the republican party? >>. >> well, first of all, i think what we need to mention here is this has nothing do with race. understand that utahens have made a statement that they're not interested in dividing americans based on race or gender, that they want to make sure that they are electing people who are honest and who are -- who have integrity, who could be able to go out and actually make sure that we represent the values that they hold dear. and that's really what made history here, it's that race, gender, had nothing to do with it. principles had everything to do with it and utah values had everything to do with it. that's the history we had here. >> i want to challenge you on one point, though. because there will be those that will say not so much dividing on the basis of race but just making sure that everybody has a seat at the table, a fair shot at getting a seat at the table. >> again, you have to understand, i -- saratoga springs there are very few black members -- black residents there. i wasn't elected because of the color of my skin. i wasn't elected because of my gender. i was elected because of the solutions that i put at the table because i promised i would run a positive issues-oriented campaign and that's what resonated. utah is tired of the bickering. they're tired of congress not getting anything done. i hear a lot of talk right now about congress, not wanting to work with the president, the president not wanting to work with congress and few people are talking about working with the american people. the house of representatives is a branch of government that's closest to people and that's who i am. i am a person of the people and so my job is to make sure i'm representing them in every turn. >> it is the people's house. you have to job, what are you going to do with it? what's the first area where you think that you can work with democrats to get something done? >> we need to talk about balance. right now there is no balance in government. washington has gotten too big and people have gotten too small. so we have to start rolling up our sleeves and making sure we bring balance back to government. people should have the ability to make decisions in their home, in their communities and in the areas that they live in and we're going to do everything we can in every -- at every point to get -- restore power back to the people. >> congresswoman-elect mia love. that must sound really great to hear. congratulations to you. i know your family and community are very proud. we appreciate you joining us today. level in that and then, as you said, roll up those sleeves and get to work. >> now the real work begins. >> absolutely. enjoy it. you're allowed to do that. thanks so much. later this hour we'll also hear from democratic congressman chris van hollen. we'll hear what he thinks congress needs to do, see if we can have more of that conversation about compromise to avoid gridlock. >> ahead for us at this hour. you may have heard the rob republicans won? whether we see more compromise or will there be more gridlock. we are waiting to hear what the president thinks about all of this. this is a very important day for him. he'll give a very important address and answer some very important questions. that's coming up 2:50 eastern time. bill and hillary clinton campaign for a handful of candidates. many of them lost. what happened to that old clinton magic? and what does this big republican upset mean for democrats in 2016? our special election coverage continues after a quick break.

[thinking] i'm still working. he's retired. i hope he's saving. i hope he saved enough. who matters most to you says the most about you. at massmutual we're owned by our policyowners, and they matter most to us. whether you're just starting your 401(k) or you are ready for retirement, we'll help you get there. in just a few hours, a huge moment for president obama. he will speak for the first time since the beating that democrats took last night. you know, he surprise misdemeanor by not releasing a statement overnight. he was forced to sit on the sidelines for so much of the midterm buildup, sat on the sidelines again to watch the democrats get steam rolled in state after state by republicans. >> many are wondering what is it that he is going say in that statement. we'll bring it to you live. but before that, let's talk about it with the senior advisor to ready for hillary and the former communications director for former house speaker dennis hastert. thanks so much to both of you for joining us on this big day here. tracy, i guess, we'll start with you as we wait for the president's comments a little later today. what does all of this mean now for the president? h s he going to become the lame duck president of a do nothing congress? >> well, the question i think fits also on the republican congress and what they're going to do. for the president who's made clear -- and i think it was vice president joe biden that head very specifically he's looking forward to compromise and a path toward an agenda that helps the americans that need the help. will those republicans be willing to do that? mcconnell seems to have an obstructionist aura around him. is thatting? that's permanent? is he willing to change? i expect the president to make clear that there is compromise that must occur and there is progress that the american people are demanding. >> it may not be obstructionist aura, it may just be the tan he always seems to have as the speaker of the house. listen, ron, enough about 2014, let's talk about 2016 here. one man who worked very, very hard to get republican governors elected was chris christie, the governor of new jersey, the chair of the republican governors' association. a lot of people saying this morning that he is sitting pretty heading into 2016 as a potential presidential candidate. let's listen to what he said to new day this morning about all the speculation about his candidacy. >> what i found being in 37 states in the last 11 months is this country is much more alike than it is different and people always say, well, will you play here or play in the south or any place other than new jersey or new york they think, well, you won't possibly play. it's wrong. it's just wrong. i got great reaction for people all over this country in the last 11 months and what they say to me most of the time is "we like the way you act like yourself. be direct, give them hell." >> chris christie, ron, how much did he help himself this election? >> well, obviously republican governors did very well last night and chris christie gets to take a lion's share of that credit because he's head of the republican governor's association and a candidate -- going to be likely a candidate for the 2016 elections. we have others as well who may throw their hat in the ring such as governor scott walker. the list can go on and on but i have to take issue with what tracy had to say. voters voted against gridlock last night. voters voted against the strategy that senator reid took when he went to the house floor on a daily basis attacking charles and david koch of koch industries. they don't care about any of that stuff. they want to see us getting things done and that's why my hope is that mitch mcconnell and john boehner will come out with a unified agenda so we can move things forward quickly. >> ron, you're right that there is this discontent with leaders on both sides and you did see that in the voting. you also saw in the voting overwhelming support for progressive ballot measures on things like increasing minimum wage or defeating the person hood amendments to the substance of it is very much toward progress. the leaders in both our parties, i think, have a lot of self-reflection to do and a lot of sleeves to roll up. >> all right, so the both of you -- i think we're hearing that we all feel that compromise needs to be made. now, the question is if we can actually make that happen. tracy sefl, ron bonjean. thank you for joining us. republicans took senate, mitch mcconnell will be the next senate majority leader but can he keep the rank and file in line? we're going to hear from the people of kentucky, next. we're going live from a diner. >> and putting in an order with joe? big day? ah, the usual. moved some new cars. hauled a bunch of steel. kept the supermarket shelves stocked. made sure everyone got their latest gadgets. what's up for the next shift? ah, nothing much. just keeping the lights on. (laugh) nice. doing the big things that move an economy. see you tomorrow, mac. see you tomorrow, sam. just another day at norfolk southern. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know genies can be really literal? no. what is your wish? no...ok...a million bucks! oh no... geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. wouldn't it be great if hiring plumbers, carpenters shopping online is as easy as it gets. and even piano tuners were just as simple? thanks to angie's list, now it is. we've made hiring anyone from a handyman to a dog walker as simple as a few clicks. buy their services directly at angieslist.com no more calling around. no more hassles. start shopping from a list of top-rated providers today. angie's list is revolutionizing local service again. visit angieslist.com today. let me get tyes?straight... lactaid® is 100% real milk? right. real milk. but it won't cause me discomfort. exactly, no discomfort, because it's milk without the lactose. and it tastes? it's real milk! come on, would i lie about this? lactaid®. 100% real milk. no discomfort. and try lactaid® supplements with your first bite to dig in to all your dairy favorites. a big red wave has come across the nation. we are now waiting to hear from two leaders that change in congress will affect the most. >> senator mitch mcconnell will be the next senate majority leader. he will hold a news conference this afternoon at 2:00 eastern and president obama will speak about 50 minutes after that. the president apparently reached out to senator mcconnell after his reelection win but left a message, apparently, i guess on his voice mail. "hi, senator, it's president obama --" >> beep, start again. >> i'll be up for another half hour. call me if you get this. senator mcconnell is poised to become one of the most powerful politicians -- he already is one of the most powerful politicians in the country. still, congress not so popular. 80% of americans in the exit polls say they are not happy with congress. >> joe johns is in lexington, kentucky, one of my favorite place places. >>. >> reporter: mitch mcconnell is not necessarily very popular in the state of kentucky, either. but the bottom line and a lot of the things we're hearing from people here is that people might not like him so much but they think he's very effective in washington, d.c. they think he does his job very well and that's why they reelected him to another term and why he's likely to become the next majority leader because people in kentucky think he does a good job for them, john and michaela. >> joe a lot of money was spent all over the country but a lot was spent in kentucky and you talked to people who benefited from that cash flow. >> huge money, especially advertising. people are very happy to see those ads go away but i talked to one person here in the cafe in lexington, kentucky, who isn't happy to see that go away. as a matter of fact, she happens to be a radio advertising executive. listen. >> we have a lot of candidate this is year coming in and dropping a lot of money on political advertising and then if if they're competitors with money and advertising they would in turn invest more in advertising so it was a heavy race as far as the advertising aspect goes. >> so from your point of view, you probably hate to see this end because it was more money for the radio station? >> it was a nice little draw for radio and it is -- it's sad to see it end. we get it about once every four years so once the big turn elections come, it's a nice boost for radio. especially this year. >> otherwise it doesn't make much difference who won or lost? or does. >> it i like to see the people who advertise with me win. i want them to know radio works. >> >> mitch mcconnell threw a lot of his own money into the state of kentucky and there was a lot of outside influence as well. once the dust clears we'll talk about the money in politics and whether it's a good idea, john and michaela. >> we today in the president was able to get through but mcconnell has talked about the areas he'll have to work on, government shutdowns, obama, et cetera. what are we hearing? >> yeah. i think what are the priorities for mitch mcconnell? we certainly know he's going talk about the keystone xl pipeline and how to get a vote in the united states senate. i think the big question is whether the president of the united states is going to sign off on it, a lot of environmentalists are opposed to that idea. probably some tweaks to obamacare pretty clear that mitch mcconnell is a realist. he know's it's not going to be possible to push through a full repeal of obamacare. some conservatives are concerned about the possibility of mitch mcconnell trying to play small ball with these issues, also the issue of trade and a few others as opposed to going for -- swinging for the long ball. interesting to see how he handles that and he's struck sort of a conciliatory tone at the top. we'll see if it holds because as you know we're starting the race toward 2016. >> we certainly are. joe johns. i know berman was secretly hoping you'd go back behind the counter, maybe flip burgers or something but we won't ask that of you because we have our standards, okay, joe? >> you got it. all right, good food here, by the way. >> no doubt. we know the democrats lost but you know what won? pot! not just pot, also the minimum wage. we'll discuss. ring ring! progresso! i can't believe i'm eating bacon and rich creamy cheese before my sister's wedding well it's only 100 calories, so you'll be ready for that dress uh-huh... you don't love the dress? i love my sister... 40 flavors. 100 calories or less. feel like a knot. how can i ease this pain? (man) when i can't go, it's like bricks piling up. i wish i could find some relief. (announcer) ask your doctor about linzess-- a once-daily capsule for adults with ibs with constipation or chronic idiopathic constipation. linzess is thought to help calm pain-sensing nerves and accelerate bowel movements. it helps you proactively manage your symptoms. do not give linzess to children under 6, and it should not be given to children 6 to 17. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain especially with bloody or black stools the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach-area pain and swelling. bottom line, ask your doctor about linzess today. t the. >> they're hoping to take the teeth, the fangs out of the dodd-frank regulations after the financial crisis. energy, for example, maybe there will be blunted regulations on finding new information in the united domestic energy sources in the united states. >> keystone pipeline. >> exactly. so there's this feeling that that will be goodor all. there's also this feeling -- and i think mitch mcconnell eluded to this in the interview he just did that quite frankly you're less likely to have a debt default or a big debt showdown on the watch of republicans in both chambers. >> on the watch of him. i think he's very very anti-shutdown. >> we're going ask you to hang tight. we want to bring in our evan perez to talk about ballot initiatives. good to have both of you here with us. decidedly red states. arkansas, nebraska, south dakota, alaska, they all voted yesterday to increase the minimum wage. this is why i wanted you to stick around, christine romance. an issue that president obama has been trying his hardest to get pushed through a gridlocked cans of how they'll manage that because the area of the district is owned by the feds, how are you going to manage those laws and enforcement, et cetera? >> it's still illegal to smoke marijuana or possess in the federal property and half of downtown is federal property, national parkland. but, you know, the president's own neighbors, attorney general eric holder's own neighbors, those precincts that surround them all voted overwhelmingly for this law. so it's going to be interesting to see how the government tries to live with legal marijuana here in the capital city. >> christine, it's a big night for the minimum wage. the minimum wage increased in state after state after state. if someone had told you six months ago the minimum wage would do really, really well on a night when democrats did really, really badly you would have said "no way." >> these voters showed up and voted in republicans. republicans do who don't agree with raising the minimum wage. the same voters then turned around and raised the minimum wage. 600,000 people will see raises. the business community doesn't think it should be raised, the republican party doesn't but people do. the real irony here is that this is a signature obama administration initiative that has failed in washington but that republicans around the country are voting in. republicans and democrats. >> now most of these will surpass the federal minimum wage which is $7.25. amazing. >> 29 states have raised the minimum wage in the absence of federal reaction. >> thank you so much for joining us today. let's bring in former republican governor of virginia jim gilmore, the chairman of the rnc and the founder of the conservative super pac called growth. let's start off by asking you about the minimum wage. isn't it interesting that, again, in state after sate the minimum wage was increased. voters chose to increase the minimum wage while voting in republicans? >> well, i think it's a localized issue and it's been under some discussion but i think that the real issue that we've got to do here is to try to think about the people who will probably be thrown out of work now as a result of the increase in the minimum wage. we have to be making plans to accommodate those further unemployed people. in the meanwhile, the real thrust of what we need to do is build up the economy and create more jobs for people and get wages coming up. i think part of the reason for this result that we saw yesterday is because people are frustrated because wages are not going up in the united states. >> hang on one second here, governor, because we have some breaking news just into cnn. cnn can now project one of the races that has been outstanding. governor john hickenlooper, democrat from colorado, we project he has been reelected defeating bob bow pray. beauprez. this race so close. hickenlooper named as a possible presidential contender for the democrats but watching this tight race in what has been a tight race, mark udall lost there but governor hickenlooper outperformed him and we now project he has been reelected. >> let's turn back to our guests, former rnc chairman jim gilmore. you want to react to that news? >> well, yes, congratulations to governor hickenlooper. i know bob beauprex ran a good race but we saw astonishing results across the country. the republicans won the governorship in massachusetts, which i think is pretty amazing and in maryland which is even more amazing. governor scott was reelected in florida but the main story as we know today is that the national move towards the direction of the nation was carried out by the republicans taking over the united states senate, including, by the way, the colorado seat. >> i want to refer back to something that happened on our show. we just had the first black american female voted in in your party as a congresswoman in the state of utah. she's very excited, she's looking very much forward to getting to work and we talked about some of her plans. i'm curious in light of that what you think looking forward to 2016, what your party can do to embrace more and include more at the table, black, latino, female voters. >> i think we need to have a positive national program that includes everybody including african-americans and latino voters and women and young people. people who are suffering under the policies of this administration. people are being deliberately thrown out of work. people who are having flat wages. this is the national challenge and this is what the voters told us, not only at the polls but in the exit polling saying they have a lot of anxiety about the economic conditions of the country. they're insecure because of the world crisis that we're facing and the potential for danger here in this country. they don't think that the next generation will do as well as the last. that's un-american, michaela and it's got to change and i propose that what happens in congress now is an affirmative direct program to build up jobs and growth in the united states economy. a growth policy has to be the republican program and it incorporates everybody including the groups you're talking about. >> governor, i am old enough to remember when you ran for president. as we come out of this election in 2014 and look forward to 2016, i wonder if you could tell me which republican potential candidate you think is in the best position today? >> i don't think that our field at this point has emerged and i don't think that the people who have been talked about are talking about the right things. and the right things are the growth of the american economy, jobs, growth, opportunity, a real forward motion for what this country really stands for. this is why i formed the growth pac and we bought television and radio tiesing in iowa and new hampshire and virginia and radio in north carolina because we want to inzwlekt idea of a growth and positive economy for the united states and that is what has to be done for '16. you can get into all kinds of personality contests and that's been the sideshow and circus up to this point, but at the end of the day, yesterday the voters of america said wait a minute, we care about our future, we care about the future of our children and we're going to take affirmative action to get things on the right track. that's the lesson we saw yesterday, not some circus or sideshow for 2016 that we've seen up to this point. >> tim gilmore, thanks so much for joining us. hope to talk to you again sometime. >> good, thank you very much. >> let me remind you of the news we broke moments ago, cnn projects that john hickenlooper has been reelected as governor of colorado, the democrat elected to a second term in that state despite the fact that the democratic senator there, mark udall, lost his bid for reelection. this will be a small glimmer of good news for the democratic party. >> ahead. are voters sending a message to d.c. that the country becoming more conservative? we'll talk with newly elected democrat chris van hollen. is it possible for his party to rebound after this major loss? we'll discuss with him. your goals, our experience. your shoppers, our technology. your data, our insights. introducing synchrony financial, bringing new meaning to the word partnership. banking. loyalty. analytics. synchrony financial. engage with us. it's about getting to the finish line. in life, it's how you get there that matters most. like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. my doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. so he talked to me about xarelto®. >>xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesn't require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. for a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. not this time. while i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didn't have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. >>don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. ask your doctor about xarelto® today. that's a good thing, but it doesn't cover everything. only about 80% of your part b medical expenses. the rest is up to you. so consider an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company. like all standardized medicare supplement insurance plans, they could save you in out-of-pocket medical costs. call today to request a free decision guide. with these types of plans, you'll be able to visit any doctor or hospital that accepts medicare patients. plus, there are no networks, and virtually no referrals needed. join the millions who have already enrolled in the only medicare supplement insurance plans endorsed by aarp... and provided by unitedhealthcare insurance company, which has over 30 years of experience behind it. with all the good years ahead, look for the experience and commitment to go the distance with you. call now to request your free decision guide. ♪ some of the imagine also is a message that the american public is tired of gridlock. they want to see something happen and i want to be part of that. >> that was republican senator rand paul promising less gridlock now that we have even more divided government with republicans in charge of the senate as well. >> this was the balance of power in the senate yesterday. and let's press the switch. there it is a day later after the election. big gains in the house, in the senate and in the governors races. so what happened? where did democrats go wrong? congressman chris van holland was one of the democratic bright spots defeating republican challenger dave wallace. he joins us on the phone. congressman, can you hear us okay? >> i hear you fine. good to be with both of you. >> other than obviously your personal victory, talk to us about the bigger scope, the bigger picture of what happened to democrats last night. what happened? >> well, there's no doubt it was a very rough night for democrats. clearly the country is frustrated with the gridlock in congressman. the great irony of the results last night is that a lot of the issues that have been blocked in congressman, like increasing the minimum wage, won on ballot initiatives in places like arkansas, in places like south dakota and nebraska. and i say irony because those initiatives that passed in those red states have been blocked in congress. in the house, we haven't been able to have a vote on that democratic initiative. and yet somehow that obstruction on popular issues ricocheted onto the president and we saw the results last night. so, look, i think we all need to come together. i think democrats need to focus on their core economic message, equal pay for equal work, trying to provide student debt relief and other core issues and certainly hope republicans will join us in that effort and stop blocking some of those measures. >> congressman, we expect to hear from president obama in about three hours. what do you think he needs to say? do you think that the full scope of what voters said last night has sunk in at the white house? >> well, i'm interested to hear from the president. i think the president will continue to invite the congress to work with him on some of these important issues. the public has heard the president reach out to congress in the past. on some of these key issues, he says, if you republicans in congress have a different way to do it, let me know, i'm happy to meet you halfway. instead, he was rebuffed. this is a two-way street. i think the president is more than willing to continue his efforts to reach out. i am a little concerned that in many of the house races, you've got republicans coming to congress who actually ran on a platform of no compromise. and if you're going to deliver on a platform of no compromise, it means more dysfunction. so i hope that's not the case. and we'll just have to see how we move forward here. >> and that's the question of moving forward. i think there's one aspect of how the congress works together to sort of give the people what they need for this country. but i want you to talk about 2016 in terms of where your party needs to be. talk to me about that. >> well, again, if you talk to the american public -- and i've spent a lot of time in my district talking to people going door to door -- the things they care most about are the things that all of our neighbors care about. they want to make sure their kids have a chance to get a good education, they want to send them to an affordable college. they want to make sure there are job opportunities. so we need to get back to those proposals. and we're going to have a big discussion coming up on the budget for the country. and the budget is a reflection of our values and priorities. and we're going to continue to put forward proposals that, for example, would get rid of a lot of the special interest tax breaks that create these perverse incentives for companies to move jobs overseas and use the savings from closing those tax breaks to invest in modernizing our infrastructure at home. that's what we need to do going forward. >> congressman, i wonder if i can get a yes or no answer here, do you think it was a mistake for the president to essentially stay on the sidelines in this election? do you think there would have been a different result had he gotten more involved? >> the answer is i think some of our senate democratic candidates made a mistake in simply saying that they disagreed with the president whereas they could have said, here are the policies where i agree with the president. i agree on the money image increase, equal pay and equal work. here's where i disagree with the president. instead of simply making it about whether you like or dislike the president. there are policies to support, there are policies not to support. we should have been focusing more on those policies because on the policies democrats have advanced on the economy, the public is with us on those issues as indicated in these referendum on the minimum wage increase. >> we have to leave it there. thanks for joining us. congratulations on your win last night. we'll be watching. thanks for watching us here. i'm michaela pereira. >> our special coverage with ashleigh banfield starts right after this. so i can reach ally bank 24/7, but there are no branches? 24/7 it's just i'm a little reluctant to try new things. what's wrong with trying new things? feel that in your muscles? yeah... i do... try a new way to bank, where no branches equals great rates. let me get tyes?straight... lactaid® is 100% real milk?

New-yorkUnited-statesArkansasNew-hampshireNorth-carolinaGeorgiaKentuckyFloridaVirginiaSaratoga-springsUtahRussia costello. thank you for joining me. this morning, donald trump is dealing with yet another set of questions about his campaign, but this time, presidential pivots or temperament, instead, it is about policy. specifically, his stance on immigration. after a weekend meeting with hispanic advisors, some may think he is softening his positions. but his new campaign manager says not so fast. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, carol. this would potentially be a big reversal, and this has already put trump on the defensive on exactly what his policy on immigration really is. just this morning, he insisted in an interview that no, he believes his stance on immigration is not changing. here is what he said a few minutes ago. >> we're dealing with people, we have to be very firm. we have to be very, very strong when people come in illegally. we have a lot of people that want to come in through the legal process. it not fair for them. we're working with a lot of people in the hispanic community to try and come up with an answer. >> so you're not flip flopping. >> no, i'm not flip flopping. we want to come up with a fair but firm answer. it has to be firm. we want to come up with something fair. >> so trump there, really pushing back on all of this. his hard line stance on immigration, it is one of the define core issues of his campaign. >> donald trump's campaign, signal a possible softening of his controversial position on the forced deportation of 11 million undocumented immigrants. >> they will go out. they will come back. some will come back. the best through a process. they have to come back legally. >> trump's hard line stance, a significant issue since the beginning. now his new campaign manager, i can'ting that -- indicating that is not set in stone. >> let me play something to what he said back in november. >> we're going to have a deportation force and going to do it humanly. >> are they going to get ripped out of their home as soon as. >> they're going back from where they came. they're going to be brought back to their country. >> will that olympian include a deportation force, the kind that he just, you just heard in that sound bite and that he talked about during the republican primaries? >> to be determined. >> trump surrogate, jeff sessions saying trump is wrestling with the issue after meeting with hispanic advisors, ahead of a big policy speech later this week. >> he listened to a lot of people. i don't think he made any commitments. he is thinking it through. that's the right thing. >> this potential shift, coming as trump attempts to broaden his appeal among african-american voters. >> i've asked the african-american community to honor me with their vote. >> you're living in poverty, your schools are no good. you have no jobs. 58% of your youth is unemployed. what the hell do you have to lose? >> polls show his campaign way behind with his key voting block. following a string of controversial comments about minorities. >> they're bringing drugs. they're bringing crime. they're rapists. >> look at my african-american over here. this judge is of mexican heritage. i'm building a wall. >> now his muted style, reservesed for policy, not for his opponent, hillary clinton. >> she will never be able to fix the isis problem that her policies created. for one thing, she doesn't have the strength or the stamina. >> all this, as trump and his surrogating continue to raise unsubstantiated questions about hillary clinton's health. >> go online and put down hillary clinton illness, take a look at the videos for yourself. >> and again, those claims about clinton's health are unsubstantiat unsubstantiated. the campaign says she is in excellent health and call it deranged conspiracy theories. >> all right, reporting live for us this morning. so will trump build a wall and deport 11 undocumented immigrants or not. more importantly for him, will a flip flop make hispanics more open to trump. let's talk. las vegas radio commentator and anna navorro. welcome, both of you. >> jesus, you were in that meeting on saturday. is mr. trump going to deport undocumented immigrants, or not? >> well, we talked about different issues, and obviously immigration was one of those issues that we talked about. it was a private meeting, but i can tell you that mr. trump is now open for suggestions from latinos. that's why he opened his doors and invited us. >> so just along those lines and i just want to expand on that jesus, does he want ideas from this hispanic council on how to treat these undocumented immigrants, and might that mean that he is no longer thinking about this deportation team deporting all of them? >> well, absolutely. he wants ideas and obviously that's why he invited us. one thing they did, you know, notice and it made me very comfortable, he is observing them, you know, the situation. he is taking notes about what we have to say. and i'm sure the campaign will consider our advice and they will definitely work on policy, you know. we can't speak for the campaign. we're not part of the campaign, but definitely, we talked about different issues that concern our communities, the latino communities. >> so ana, you and a lot of other his pan necks apanics are mr. trump. it shows trump trailing clinton with hispanics about 46 points. so does what jesus is saying make you more open to mr. trump? >> no, listen, as far as i'm concerned, he burnt those bridges a long, long time ago. you don't get to start over two and a half months before an election. just don't get to erase the things that you have said for over a year. he has called mexicans rapists, has said that they bring crime. he hasn't given one interview to u univision, he has kicked some out of events. he has laser focused, based his campaign on attacking hispanics, i don't hear him ever talk about the positive stories about immigration. he has people like joe arpaio during the republican convention and goes on to give one of the longest speech, nomination acceptance history where he focuses on the bad things, that some immigrants that have come here have not done any positive stuff. i will tell you, though, carol, i think it is important to understand that latinos are not one group. immigration is not the issue that defines latinos and latino support. and you know, i think, look, if mr. marcus is doing what that group did, trying to meet with him and maybe expand his horizons so that he is not so ignorant about hispanics, great for them. i respect their choice. now, i will tell you, i will stand with the other 85% of latinos for whom trump is just not an acceptable option, you don't get to beat us like p piniatas and try to make nice. >> if you allow plme to answer. >> go ahead. >> first of all, it is not 85% who are opposing donald trump. you know, the poll yesterday that shows that donald trump is down in the polls with the latinos, about you you still see -- >> clinton leads latinos by 46 points. that's a lot. >> but you have also 25% of latinos undecided, and if you look at the polls in 2012, back then with romney, at this point in the campaign, it was probably about the same with donald trump. you know, this likability of hillary clinton is very high as well. if you want to talk about latinos being offended, yes, the rhetoric, we talked about that. we talked about how he can say certain things, and he explained he didn't mean some of the things that the way the media is -- >> wait one minute. wait, i want to get into that. he said he didn't mean some of the things he said about hispanics, is that what you're saying, and if you are, what were those things? >> well, for example, when we talked about rapists and murders, he specifically, you know, he didn't talk in general, and if that's the way it came out, he, you know, he explained hem sel himself. >> what did he mean? what did he mean? >> unfortunately, we have to secure our borders, because there is also among the many good people that come across, there are also some people that are not for any good, and that's one of the things that we also have to decide -- >> did he apologize for generalizing? >> well, i'm not going say he apologized. we worked more on, you know, solutions to the problem. you know, we all agree that we have to secure the border. and the details of the meeting, i cannot explain to you or talk about, but one thing i know, he is opening the doors. he is open to suggestions. and that's something different. now, you may say, well, it is too late. we have 80-plus days for the election. i believe that mrs. clinton's policies have been more offensive for the latinos. if you look at latino neighborhoods, communities, states, cities, you will see the poverty in those towns and cities and communities. that is what offends me more than what donald trump -- >> i hear you on that. and ana, i'll address that to you. in the same fox news poll, it shows hispanics overwhelmingly support president obama and his policies. so how does jesus, how do we marry that with what he just said? >> mr. barack obama has deported more latinos in the last decades, and on top of that, if you look at his policies, it made latinos, you know, staggering poverty, basically right now, latinos are not better off than seven, eight years ago. that's a problem that if we can articulate to the public, i believe we can get our numbers up. >> would that do it, ana? >> look, carol, the healthiest thing for the hispanic community, for the african-american community, for any american is if we would have a competitive process between two strong candidates, two strong parties. that people are -- we have candidates that are courting our vote, that are earning our support. what we have had for the past year is a donald trump who has done nothing but burn bridges. but offend hispanics, attack a judge who was born in america for the simple fact that he is of mexican heritage. questioned his ability to do his job. you know, yesterday, i read the story about a couple who went into a restaurant in virginia, and they wrote on the receipt of their waiter, we don't tip anybody who is not a u.s. citizen. turns out the waitress was a u.s. citizen, of hispanic heritage. yes, but that's the kind of discrimination, bigotry, division that donald trump has stoked and promoted. he hasn't caused t he didn't invest racism, but he has certainly embraced it and made it worst for the last year. no, he does no the get to -- listen, the only person i know who can reinvent themselves successfully after the age of 50 is madonna. donald trump is no madonna. >> oh, you know, you -- >> i've got to leave it there, guys. >> you cannot pin what you saw or experienced in terms of racist with this waiter with donald trump. that's ridiculous. >> oh, i can very much look into the camera and say i believe donald trump is a racist. you don't get to make textbook racist remarks for a year, and not be a racist. don't get to make textbook sexist remarks for a year and not be a misogynist. i'm glad you guys are having an open conversation with him. i hope he takes your advice. i think -- >> i couldn't express myself with nobody like that, but that's your opinion. i respect it. >> sure, i respect your opinion, and i'm -- >> i have to leave it there. ana navorro, jesus marquez, thank you. colin powell, did he just throw hillary clinton under the bus? we'll talk about that, next. ♪ if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, isn't it time to let the real you shine through? introducing otezla (apremilast). otezla

times, saying it urged her while in office. but powell is hitting back, telling ""people magazine," that her people have been pinning it on me." the truth is she was using it for a year before i sent her a memo telling her what i did. when asked why clinton's team was attempting to blame him, his response was, this. why do you think. it doesn't bother me. it's okay. i'm free. they've reached out to the clinton campaign as well as representatives for collin pow bell but haven't received a response. this mannos all about this dinner. thank you, joe, for joining me this morning. >> thank you. >> tell us about this dinner where supposedly colin powell and mrs. clinton talked about an e-mail server. >> so in 2009, and it is true, after she became secretary of state, madelyn albright held a dinner party for hillary clinton in her home in washington where she invited former secretaries of state to celebrate her appointment. and among them was colin powell. at that dinner, former secretary albright asked the others there to give hillary clinton one piece of advice, and colin powell's advice was to use her e-mail account. he said, and i have an e-mail from his principal, confirming this. he told her, and i quote, he shared his use of his e-mail account with secretary clinton, and told her how useful and transfo transformative it was for the department. i received this message from margaret serifino last june when i was checking this story for my book, and she replied, and she made sure i understood the date of the party, because she checked his calendar for it. >> so what is -- >> i have -- so i don't -- >> what is colin powell talking about, then? >> i'm perplexed if he is saying it didn't happen. i understood him to say he doesn't remember it, and ms. serifino said he didn't remember every detail of the dinner, but that it was transformative for the department. i think that's pretty straightforward. you know, i've written a piece about this that will be on "newsweek" site today, responding to this. >> is it possible that mr. powell used a private e-mail server in his home for personal business, and he totally separated from his state department business, in a way that mrs. clinton perhaps did not? could that be what mr. powell was talking about? >> that's not what the inspector general report says. used his aol account for state department business as well as his personal business, and it is very clear that's what he did. and by the way, unlike secretary clinton, he did not preserve any of his e-mails under the -- as he was supposed to do under the federal records act. she turned over, as you know, 55,000 pages of e-mails that she had kept. he did not preserve any of them. and which, you know, the inspector general said was a violation of his responsibility under the federal records act. we don't know what any of his e-mails said, or very few. >> so this -- >> personal account for state department business. no question about that. he has admitted that. i don't think anybody is blaming him. secretary clinton has known about this conversation for seven years. to my knowledge, she has never spoken about it publicly. the only time that she has talked about it as far as i know is to the fbi in a conversation that i think she expected to be confidential. so you know, the times found out about and they published the story the other day. but i don't think she was trying to use that or my book to put this story out. if secretary clinton, carol, had wanted to use this conversation with general powell to somehow pin it on him as he says, why wouldn't she have gone straight to the new york times or the "washington post" or cnn to tell them about this years ago. when this first came out. >> well, she has mentioned it. it is not like she has never talked about it. >> she has mentioned -- no, no, she has never mentioned her conversation with him. it was known. he wrote about it in his own book that he had used personal e-mail. but she has never mentioned her conversation with him publicly that i know of. >> and this e-mail from his assistant, will that be in your "newsweek" article today? >> it is quoted in the article today, that's correct. >> joe, i can't wait to read it. thank you for joining me this morning. i do appreciate it. of course, mr. trump wasted no time, he is lashing out on this issue and what colin powell had to say. he just did that on ""fox and friends"" last hour. she laid about colin powell, i saw that, he was not happy, and the whole thing is a scam with them. everything is a scam. like grifters. >> okay, so let's talk about this. with me now is ron bonjean, hillary clinton supporter, bakari sellers and former reagan white house political director, jeffrey lord. welcome to all of you. bakari, what do you make of this? >> well, i make of it, here we go with the e-mails. i think one of the major problems that i have with this discussion is the fact that these confidential conversations that 302s, investigator notes are being leaked to the new york times. you have incidenting like this where people can get parts and parcels of a story and spin them one way or another. there was a conversation at a dinner party. we don't know much about that party. here we go down this rabbit hole of e-mails, because we don't know the whole story. >> but it is a confusing story, but you heard joe, right. he was talking about how he has this e-mail detailing this dinner, where colin powell suggested supposedly that hillary clinton use a private e-mail server, but colin powell comes out in a ""people magazine"" event and says i never advised her on that. what do you make of that part? >> listen, carol, i am not going to sit here and try to condemn or attack general colin powell. i mean, there are a lot of things that hillary clinton supporters will do and can do, but one of the things i advise them not to do is attack colin powell. i think without understanding the full scope of this, and i just heard, his name is joe, who wrote the book, i plan on reading that "newsweek" article. >> jeffrey, your thoughts? >> you know, to pick up on what bakari is saying, as a conservative, i disagree with general powell on a number of things, his endorsement of president obama. that kind of thing. but let it never be said. colin powell a man of integrity. absolute, utter integrity. so i have absolutely no reason to think that he is, you know, certainly lying or anything of that nature. and i think that one of the things, the comments you just played from donald trump, indicate, this goes exactly to the reverse sort of problem that hillary clinton has. she is repeatedly on all kinds of issues accused of not -- being accused of not telling the truth. this is when she was first lady. if you remember the famous new york times columnist, william sapphire wrote a column in 1995 or '96 in which he called her a congenital liar. here we are with the same kind of problem. that's the problem and in terms you've presidential campaign issue, that's a big one. >> well, ron, i'm just struggling to understand why colin powell brought this up now. because there is conflicting information. i don't know what the truth is at this moment. i too many going to read this "newsweek" article and i'm in streak -- intrigued to see this e-mail from his assistant. what do you make of colin powell saying this to "people magazine"? its okay, i'm free. >> you know, what he is doing is undermining hillary clinton's assertions that, you know, she has been -- that she has been totally transparent with the process of her e-mails. look, the fact of the matter is, hillary clinton has, you know, is going after her henchmen are going after colin powell and he is reenforcing that politically by saying things like this. i think by going after, by having this narrative at the beginning of the week of an african-american general and asserting that she has political henchmen going after him, you know, it falls right into donald trump's narrative. when he is going after the african-american voter right now. i don't think it is helpful to her campaign. i think that, you know, of course, you know, democratic strategists are going to say here we go again, but here we go again, i'm wondering whether hillary clinton is trustworthy, credible and has political henchmen out there trying to throw generals under the bus. >> bakari, your thoughts. >> that's absurd. you began to spin yourself into a pretzel when you said all of a sudden she is having henchmen attack a black general. >> why would he say that? why would a general say that about her? >> because if she wanted to attack colin powell, sir, she would have done it in public, she would have taken the conversation prior to this. she would have laid the foot of the blame at his feet, which she did not. she had this conversation when bringing up these i mails and the genesis of using the servers and with the fbi. this was not a public conversation. what happened was, we knew what was going to happen, the republican congress leaked it to the new york times. you can't make this false -- >> so you're refuting a general, a very respected general secretary of state's comments that hillary clinton is throwing him under the bus? >> yeah, i mean, because hillary clinton did not state this in public. that's what i'm saying. this a conversation -- >> it sounds like you're twisting yourself into a pretzel. >> that is true, ron. hillary clinton said this to fbi investigators, and she did not say such a thing publicly. >> carol, you know, one of the problems here that hillary clinton is going to have throughout the remaining two months plus of this campaign is that she has got so much going on with these e-mails in term fls there possibly being leaked, judicial watch, whatever, or leaks from congress, this is going to be a steady drip, drip, drip, all the way through the fall election and remind people exactly what her problem is when it comes to credibility. >> so bakari, was it effective that congress demanded those notes from the fbi then? >> well, yeah, i mean, i said this last week. i think it was monday on "new day" when we realized the notes would come to congress, and although they're confidential, they would be leaked. i don't understand why people don't have an issue with that. they were confidential notes, 302s, i practice federal criminal defense, you take a client in all the time to go through this interview and they have 302s, these notes that the investigators take, you don't expect them to be public because they're usually not. in this case, the fbi made them public, it is a slippery slope and now they're leaked. that's how the conversation got out. this is not hillary clinton throwing colin powell under the bus. this is the united states congress leaking this, and we will have these leaks from this point forward. so to jeffrey's point, it is a problem. >> all right, well i have to leave it there. thanks so much, ron, bakari, jeffrey. still to come in the "newsroom," rudy giuliani is relentless when it comes to hillary clinton's health,

train ♪ your ticket to a better night's sleep ♪ good morning, i'm carol costello. donald trump is putting his new campaign strategy into action. one attack, focusing on clinton's unsubstantiated stamina issues. >> for one thing, she doesn't have the strength or the stamina, coupled with all of the other problems that this country has, and we have a lot. >> her campaign and the people defending her are saying there is nothing factual about the claims to her health and that -- >> go online. >> and speculation at best. >> so go online and put down hillary clinton illness, and take a look at the videos for yourself. >> okay, so let's talk about that. kristin saltis and marge o'meara, welcome to both of you. >> good morning. >> rudy giuliani said look online for proof that clinton is mentally ill, but if you google rudy giuliani's name, that comes up with all sorts of things. let's put -- there it is. it says he has alzheimer's. should we believe that too? >> i think this whole diversion into whether the candidates are physically or mentally fit to be president in the way that it is being brought up now is completely side tracking this campaign away from the issues that most voters care about. the polls that margie and i look at, how will we make america safe, it doesn't show people are interested in theories from the right or left. for surrogates to be pushing this message certainly stirs up a piece of the base, and up until this point, he has been good at playing to his base, but not the sort of message that is necessarily the one he needs to be on if he wants to expand his voter pool and be competitive in november. >> margie, it seems to be a coordinated effort, because there are lots of articles on breitbart about hillary clinton's alleged instability. shawn hannity on fox brings it up all the time. now you have rudy giuliani saying it like it is a fact. what's the strategy here? >> i don't know. i mean, it smacks of desperation. just because something gets a rise out of people doesn't mean it moves voters or presidential or be an effective strategy if one were to become president. i don't know why this seems leak a good strategy, because it is so clearly not from the polling. it shows 2/3 of americans -- one of the comments that, well, she needs pail l needs a pillow when she travels, if i traveled a lot, i would need something more than a pillow. it is crazy, these things. they really have, it is such a diversion from the things people say matter to them. >> it is interesting you bring up the pillows. i have to get this out, because i was talking to my mother the other day and she said does hillary clinton really need pillows, and i didn't know what she was talking about. >> people hear it. look, people hear it. certainly, i've heard it in a focus group, somebody mentioned the fact that people hear it is different from whether or not it actually convinces people to become trump voters. certainly, the 50% of people who say i'm never going to vote for trump, is it going to get them off that ledge and seau kay okam going to vote for trump. i don't think so. this is why people aren't voting for trump. >> the one polling number that feed news why they think it might be a strategy is that if you ask voters which of these folks makes you anxious, trump, 70% of people are anxious for him being president. but for hillary clinton, it is 50% are anxious. what trump is trying to do is go really negative and drive up the numbers so he and hillary clinton are both on the same page in terms of the percentage of people who are anxious about them being president. i think the smarter strategy is the one for him to actually behave in a more professional manner and reduce the percentage of people that think they would be anxious if he were president. >> margie, it is not like there isn't stuff out there that is legitimate. >> we could have a debate over policies and the things that differentiate republicans from democrats. the reason trump is in the 40s is because there are republicans out there who want to vote for the republican candidate, and we're not having a debate on the issues. we're not having a d he bait on how people feel about taxes or involvement overseas, or how do we feel about the role of government. we could be having that civilized debate and how we feel as a country, but instead, we're having a debate what things trump has said, flip flopped from what he said last week, he gave a pivot that didn't last barely 24 hours. these are the kinds of things we're having. it is not a conversation that really makes people feel good about this election process or about got. >> i have to leave it there. thanks to both of you. it was a pleasure. still to come in the "newsroom,"

considered selling. but, those things were not the best way for us to use the equity in our home. liberty home equity solutions helps homeowners age 62 and older access a portion of the equity in

all over here in the city of gonzales, thoa tremendo amount of heart break. >> the water got up to about two and a half foot in the house. >> reporter: step through the door in the city of gonzalez and you'll see what homes look like today. a bear interior, stripped of any comforts of home. >> we had to gut everything totally in the house. >> reporter: lablanc only saved what he could. most of what was left behind had to be discarded and sits out on the front lawn. >> it happened fast and it is sad. you do what you gotta do. we saved a a lot. we -- thanks to him and my brother, they put everything as high as they could. >> reporter: he saved his family and a small irreplaceable items, including albums. >> she kept it in this blue tote. we don't need to get that. i felt bad the next day. i didn't want it destroyed. i said i'm going back. i don't care how deep it is, to get her things she wanted. >> this is a damn shame. >> reporter: leblanc used his cell phone to capture his return home. >> i didn't even remember it was his birthday. >> reporter: there was time for a brief celebration, amid the heart break. >> i sang happy birthday to him. >> reporter: dad, fashioned a makeshift cake out of a few cookies. like many of the families on his block, he has help from friends, coworkers. >> i'm living in my camp. and it is going to be rough for the next two months, but we, you know, all of us are safe. we're alive. >> reporter: even with the helping hands, he says it will be weeks, perhaps months, until his house is a home again. even after seeing those pictures, believe it or not, the family still consider themselves to be among some of the lucky ones you see. as you just heard, they have a place to stay. there are at least 3,000 other people that are still in shelters this morning. that's according to some brand new numbers just released by it state. that's a sign, carol, that the people here in southern louisiana still face a very long, difficult and for many, and for most, really, a very expensive road to recovery. >> one awesome family, polo. polo sandoval, thanks so much. his conduct during the olympics gave team usa a black eye. ryan lochte says he is human. his new apology, next. . the olympic games are officially over. at last night's closing ceremony, rio said good-bye to the games and passed the torch to japan. as successful as the games were for the united states, the actions of some athletes outside the arena cast a long dark shadow. i'm sure you know who i'm talking about. coy wire live in rio this morning, good morning. >> good morning to you, carol. ryan lochte certainly cast a dark shadow over these games. when his bathroom incident at a gas station became an international incident that everyone was talking about and feeling here in rio. so he sat down in his first tv interview just the other day and had some words to say about that whole thing, here he is. >> i'm just really sorry about it. i'm embarrassed for myself, my family, especially those guys, usa swimming, the whole olympic games, everyone watching. i was immature and made a stupid mistake. i'm human. i made a mistake. i definitely learned from this. >> all right, let's move on and get to some good stuff, shall we? last night's closing ceremony was so sweet, despite all that negative coverage rio received ahead of the games, the zika, the pollution, the crime, the games were no doubt an overall success, so it was a samba extravaganza. you had simon biles in the house, the gold winner for u.s. gymnastics. she took that olympic stage by

a sad day here, the games concluded. but what a wonderful experience. the first ever south american olympic games have been. >> woo, the united states spanked everyone. i have to admit it, i liked

you so much for joining me. don't call donald trump a flip-flopper, especially when it comes to immigration. the gop presidential candidate pushing back on reports he may be softening his stance and thinking of ways to help undocumented immigrants stay in the united states legally. >> we're dealing with people. we have to be very firm. we have to be very, very strong when people come in illegally. we have a lot of people that want to come in through the legal process. it's not fair for them. we're working with a lot of people in the hispanic community to try and come up with an answer. >> so you're not flip-flopping? >> no, i'm not flip-flopping. we want to come up with a really fair but firm answer. that should be very firm. look, we want to come up with something fair. >> all right, that's what trump said on "fox & friends" this morning. questions about mr. trump's policy were raised after a weekend meeting with hispanic advisers to his campaign. where trump reportedly said he wanted a, quote, humane and efficient way to deal with undocumented immigrants. trump's campaign manager downplaying those comments in an interview with cnn. >> so what donald trump said yesterday in that meeting differed very little from what he had said publicly done including in his convention speech last month in cleveland. it's that we need a, quote, fair, end quote, humane way of dealing with what is estimated to be 11 million illegal immigrants in this country. nothing differeded from what mr. trump said previously. >> let me play something from what mr. trump has said previously. listen to what he said back in november. >> going to have a deportation force. going to do it humanely -- >> how? >> they're going back where they came. if they came from a certain country, they're going to be brought back to that country. that's the way it's supposed to. >> does donald trump still support that, a deportation force removing 191 million or so undocumented ingra eed immigran? >> what he supports, if you go back to the convention speech a month ago, what he supports is to support the law, respectful of those americans looking for well-paying jobs, and we are fair and humane for those who live among us in this country. and as the weeks unfold, as the weeks unfold, he will lay out the specifics of that plan that he will implement as president of the united states. >> will that plan include a deportation force, the kind that you just heard in that sound bide a bite and you heard during the republican primaries? >> to be determined. >> questions about the immigration stance as he seemingly try to woo minorities after months of controversial comments. i want to bring in cnn's sunerlen serfaty. >> trump's questions did come out of a meeting where he was trying to reach out to hispanic voters. and to truly court minority groups of voters, a group he has struggled with. with his new campaign format, his new campaign team firmly in place, it does appear trump is at least trying to move the rhetoric into new word, debut some new messaging, reaching out to expand his base. just in the last week at multiple campaign rallies. reaching out, in particular, to african-american voters. here's a small part of what he's had to say. >> i've asked the african-american community to honor me with their vote. >> you're living in poverty. your schools are no good. you have no jobs. 58% of your youth is unemployed. what the hell do you have to lose? >> so that's just a small slice of what donald trump is bringing now to the campaign trail. he is delivering many of those remarks in front of predominantly white audiences. it should be noted this is such a bill hill for him to climb. the latest poll has trump support with african-americans at just 1% compared to clinton, 91%, carol. >> all right, sunlen serfaty, thank you. our guest is a trump supporter. welcome, sir. >> thank you, carol, good to be with you. >> nice to have you here. do you think donald trump is flip-flopping? >> no, i do not. i think he's been very, very consistent. you know, if it hadn't been for donald trump, we wouldn't even be talking about the immigration problems that this nation is facing today. and i think he's been very consistent. he wants to enforce the law. he wants to uphold the constitution. he wants to secure the borders. >> so you are in favor of a deportation force. you believe he is still in favor of implement something like that. >> well, now, what i'm in favor of are criminal alien deportations. we've had 86,000 criminal aliens who have been released from prisons and their countries don't take them back. i'm very, very concerned about that. but if we take deportation off the table, we may as well take sovereignty off the table as well. that's got to be -- the law must be enforced. >> so you're talk about the 11 million undocumented ingrants already in the united states i assume. so mr. trump said he would deport them in a humane and efficient way. what do you suppose that means? >> you know, i think as the campaign goes on, we're going to see more specifics come out. but, you know, it goes without saying if the current administration, which secretary hillary clinton has been part of, has certainly not secured the borders, has certainly continued attracting and bringing folks illegally into this nation who can compete with american workers -- >> deporting these 11 million people, because it would come at enormous cost tough taxpayers. i'm just trying to figure out what mr. trump means when he's trying to come up with a humane and efficient way to rid the countries of all of the -- to rid this country of all these people. >> well, when you say rid the country of all these people, i think in a humane way, my interpretation is he's going to take this slowly, he's going to talk -- he's going to reach out, as he's already done, to hispanics. and it's not just hispanics coming in either. i've been to that border twice. i'm from texas. we've got folks coming in across our border down there in south texas who are from the middle east, from africa and all over the world. >> like how many? >> we've seen -- well, last -- last year alone, we saw 47,000 cubans seeking asylum. they came in across the border. and we've had a number of isis operatives apprehended on the border. >> but doesn't the united states accept cubans? >> they do. about the situation, if they step foot across the border, they get asylum, but if they come by boat, they don't. it's crazy. i'm not going down that rabbit trail -- >> no, should that change in your mind -- >> the question is securing the border -- ma'am. >> yes. >> the question is securing the border and freeing americans up to find the jobs they need. we are coming out of this recession, the slowest rate that we've seen since the 1940s. and americans need these jobs. we shouldn't be opening our doors to people who are going to compete with the american labors and american workers. >> let me is you this. did you say there are isis supporters coming over the border from mexico? >> yes, i can -- >> can you confirm who they are and where they've gone? >> i can't tell you. i think there was about six in one group. it is documented. i've been down there two or three times. i was just at the el paso center what we call the epic center. there's some folks coming across that border not just looking for jobs. there's a lot of human trafficking. there's a lot of drugs. >> where are these supporters coming from? what country? >> all i can say is they're coming from isis hot spots and it's happening -- >> like iraq and syria? >> any way you want to cut this, there are people who want to do us harm who are sympathetic to isis and they're coming across this border. they're coming up through central america and through mexico. and they're here. you don't have to look any further than san bernardino, garland, texas, the boston marathon bombing, orlando, florida. >> i want to get specifics because this is scary to most americans. you have seen these isis supporters in custody or talked to i.c.e. agents about these particular people? and where are they now? have they been sent back? >> i can't tell you that, i have not personally -- >> -- are they in prison? >> ma'am, you're trying to put words in my mouth. i have talked to border patrol agents on the south texas border and there have been isis sympathizers who have been apprehended on our south texas border. you're going down a rabbit trail here, ma'am. the biggest thing here is donald trump, he's a plain-talking american who is very, very sympathetic to the american workers and he's, he's very intent on changing the things that have harmed america. and our open borders is one of those -- >> okay, let me go down another rabbit trail, if you will -- >> another rabbit trail, that's right. >> mr. trump is trying to reach out to minority voters and not just hispanic and latino voters. he said democrats have failed african-americans. so why the hell not vote for him? asked his running mate mike pence about his pitch. here's mike pence's take, let's listen. >> on friday night, donald trump was in michigan, as you know, and he was making an appeal to african-american voters. >> true. >> and he used some language and messaging that some people have taken umbrage with. i'll read some of it to you. he said you're living in poverty. your school rlgs no good. you have no jobs. you have 58% youth unemployment. what the hell do you have to lose. that was the appeal. what do you think of that message? >> well, it was such an honor for me and really a privilege to be with donald trump earlier in the day as we toured neighborhoods devastated by the flooding in baton rouge. i saw -- i saw this broad shouldered leader and his profound compassion for the hurting families in louisiana. i think that message and other messages all proceed from the fact that donald trump and i both believe we can do better for every american. we can get this economy moving again. the liberal democratic policies of our major cities have resulted in failing schools and unsafe streets in too many areas. and donald trump is speaking to that boldly. he really believes, and i agree with him, that by getting this economy moving again, lower taxes, rolling back regulation, focusing on american energy and trade deals that work for americans and also by expanding school choice. >> in terms of the language he used on friday night, you were okay with that? the you're living in poverty, you have no jobs, what the hell do you have to lose, you were okay with it atlantic thbeing tf a message? >> well, look, donald trump is not a experienced politician who carefully selects his words, speaks right from his heart, right from his mouth. >> well, here's the thing, congressman, many african-americans say trump's outreach was not for them but for white voters. because mr. trump chose to make those remarks in front of a largely white audience. can you address that? >> i sure can. i don't think mr. trump's got a racist bone in his body. i think he is concerned about all americans. what he said -- you know, personally, i would not have chosen the same language that he chose. but he is not a politic. you know, the political elites are the ones that got us in the mess we're in today. all these problems that america faces. and quite frankly, we've been -- 50% of americans think the country's going in the wrong direction. and mr. trump has promised to take us in the opposite direction. i think the average american wants to come to the polls. i think we're going to surprise some folks. i believe mr. trump is going to surprise a lot of people, just like ronald reagan surprised them back in 1980. and i think it's going to be a turnout -- >> well, the polls don't show that. he's got 1% support among african-americans. do you think it would be more effective perhaps if mr. trump would apologize for the birther talk, or that president obama founded isis, do you think those things might be turning off african-american voters? and if mr. trump just said, i didn't mean that stuff about the birther stuff, would that appease voters? should he apologize? >> i don't think he's got a thing to apologize for. i believe he's concerned. he's not a professional politician. but you don't have to be a professional politician to identify the problems and to fix them as the president. you don't have to be a politician to become the president. we're looking at his opponent. secretary of state hillary clinton who hasn't had a press conference in 260 days because she didn't want to answer questions about the failed policies under her as the secretary of state and under president obama's administration. i think people are very concerned about the direction of this country. and as far as the polls go, i think there's a lot of people who may be undecided and who will surprise -- remember, president carter was ahead of ronald reagan at this point in time in 1980. i was around. i was a reagan supporter at that time and -- the american

hannity to the list of advisers for mr. trump. it's something that allison comorata asked trump about. >> the headlines, breitbart, targeting curt schilling. in reference to the transgender community. there's no firing bias against women in technology, they just suck at interviews. birth control makes women unattractive and crazy. you get the picture. are you comfortable with that kind of flame throwing or insendry messaging? >> i think donald trump is bringing around him a team of people in steve and kellyanne and all those who have been part of this team for a long period of time that i think is delivering a message that is resonating with americans. >> even if it's incendiary? >> donald trump is the name on the ticket. i'm honored to be on the ticket with him. >> a republican political consultant, rick santorum's 2012 presidential campaign, and the former strategist for rudy giuliani's 2010 senate campaign, welcome to both of you. >> good morning. >> good morning. what do you make of sean hannity i guess informally advising trump's campaign along with breitbart's editor? what should we make of that? >> well, i think what it says is donald trump realizes that he needs to listen to a broad group of people. look, we know he listens to rudy giuliani. we know he listens to a lot of other presidential candidates. we know he goes and does all these town hall meetings basically. i think it's actually admiral that he's not afraid to listen to people. some don't have the same view he has. i think that's what you want as a president. >> rick, it almost seems like the conservative media is running trump's campaign. >> well, trump is the human avatar of the breitbart comment section. stupid, vulgar, racist, anti-semitic, vile in almost every aspect. a guy who now has steve bannon around him, a guy who's the architect of the news outlet, "news" outlet, that's incredibly racially divisive, incredibly intolerant, they've attacked on a consistent basis muslims and now mormons. they're acting like the group in germany in the 1930s rather than a legitimate conservative media outlet. bannon's band of misfit toys is going to be pummelling out this propaganda. steve is the right hand of donald trump. he plays to trump's worst instincts. he plays to the most divisive nasty aspects of trump's personality. with respect to my friend john, trump isn't doing town meetings. he really doesn't listen to people. the guy basically has a circle that once he grows tired of being controlled or being told what to do, he'll cast them out. i mean, it already felt this morning like kellyanne was off the ticket or off the team because he had his twitter under his own control and he's out there smearing people and saying crazy things again. this is a guy with no discipline. this team around him isn't going to help that for very long. >> what i will say, john, that trump does give interviews to the press but only on fox and friends and on sean hannity's show. he hasn't given an interview to brett baer. why not sit down with them? >> let's be fair, trump is doing huge events all over the country. they are open to the press. so he does have a large megaphone that does get out to a lot of people. he wants to talk directly to the people. second of all, the one absurdity is anybody saying that donald trump is overcontrolled. you can't say on one hand that you don't like comments that he makes and then on the other hand saying that somebody's controlling him. the truth of the matter is, americans are tired of hearing the same word smithing from people who say they're going to do something about the american dream about us getting sand kicked in our face all over the world, about immigration and trade. what they do like about donald trump is they feel they can at least trust him because they know that it is not somebody else putting words into his mouth and they're really even accepting from time to time he's going to say something that might be insensitive or off color or whatever. it actually is more believable to them than everybody else who has come before them who promised things and hasn't delivered. >> here's the thing, rick, donald trump has brought up hillary clinton's alleged lack of stamina, mental stamina. rudy giuliani brought that up on fox news yesterday. and i'm going to play this bite from rudy giuliani and then i'll ask you, rick what you think on the other side. >> she has entire media empire that constantly demonizes donald trump, fails to point out several signs of illness by her. all you have to do is go -- >> her campaign and a number of people defending her saying there's nothing factual to the claims about her health and than that's speculation at best. >> go online and put down hillary clinton illness, take a look at the videos for yourself. >> so, rick, you're a forrer strategist for rudy giuliani. if you go online and you put rudy giuliani's name in there, a bunch of articles come up that he has alzheimer's disease. it doesn't prove anything. it's just rumors and einnuendo. why is he bringing this up? >> i always respect rudy. his statement with -- in defense of trump here is playing into something that's beneath a lot of the standard that he would have applyled as prosecutor or mayor. the evidentiary standard on this is not high enough to make that case. look, donald trump is a guy -- the only evidence we have is a weird letter from a doctor who may not exist stating in the broad and most medical terms he's healthy. if that game wants to be played, i don't know anything about donald trump's stamina either. he's a guy who goes to events every day. he refuses to sleep anywhere except trump tower. he gets on a jet, he goes back home to trump tower. the guy's practically howard hughes aside from the fact he does one big show every day. >> john, why can't we all just stop talking about the candidate's health when there's -- there's nothing there. >> well, look, first of all, let's be clear about this. whoever's the next president is going to have to take on isis, china, the russians, syrians. all these huge problems. if hillary clinton can't stand up to rudy giuliani's tough rhetoric, then we got real problems -- >> tough rhetoric? he's, like, saying go online and believe all those rumors that she has like parkin's disease. >> people are smart enough that they can decide if they're going to listen to rudy giuliani or not. he's not running for president just like biden's not running for president and all the people who have been dumping on donald trump. people in america know running for president is a tough thing. they wanted a tough thing. because they want to see how people stand up to him. let hillary clinton defend herself. i don't see that happening. frankly, think people have enough respect for giuliani that, you know, they're going to listen to him. >> okay, i have to leave it there. thanks to both of you. former secretary of state colin powell is speaking out on hillary clinton's e-mails. did he or did he not give her advise before she took office about using a private e-mail server. maybe not. we'll talk about that next. rom ,

joining me. former u.s. secretary of state colin powell is speaking publicly for the very first time about hillary clinton's news of a personal e-mail server and he is not happy. according to "the new york times," clinton told the fbi that powell urged her to use a private e-mail account while in office. but now powell is hitting back, telling "people" magazine that, quote, her people have been trying to pin it on me. cnn correspondent suzanne malveaux is live in washington with more on this. good morning. >> good morning, carol. it takes a lot for colin powell to company out publicly these days. he's been enjoying a quiet retirement. you have to suspect the whole thing rubbed him the wrong way. i covered the story last week when "the new york times" first reported hillary clinton's first conversation with fbi investigators. it did suggest he recommended a private e-mail for state department business. his spokesperson told me yes, powell did write clinton an e-mail describing his use of a personal aol e-mail account for unclassified messages and how it vastly improved communications within the state department. but unlike clinton, powell used a secure desk computer to manage classified information, he did not have a private server at his home, nor did he use outside contractors to set the whole thing up. now powell's trying to signal to the clinton camp to stop evoking his name in the e-mail controversy. acording to "people" magazine, he says the truth is she was using the private e-mail server for a year before i sent her a memo telling her what i did. well, this morning, donald trump wasted no time using powell's pushback to his advantage. >> she lied about the e-mail. she lied about colin powell. i saw that he was not happy. and it's -- the whole thing is a scam with them. everything is a scam. like grifters. >> carol, i noticed you had joe on your show the last hour, the author of the upcoming book about the clintons in which he writes about this dinner party that madeleine albright threw in which powell gives clinton advice to use a private e-mail account. while powell says he doesn't recall the advice he gave during this continue, there is something in the book that can help clear this up. he did not mention this earlier. me writes that powell suggested confirmed a decision that clinton had made months earlier to keep her personal account and use it for most messages. so, carol, just wrap your head around this. it is possible that everyone is telling some form of the truth here. >> oh, then so political, isn't it? i have to say, i mean, you got to parse it and you have to really pay attention. because it benefits people in different ways. >> yes, you're right about that. suzanne malveaux, thanks so much. you explain that so well. i do appreciate that. let's talk more about this. with me now is democratic strategist and former national press secretary for bernie 2016. john avlon, cnn political analyst and editor in chief of "the daily beast." what do you make of this? >> look, i think this has been a serious, another hit on the clinton campaign because it resuscitates the questions about the e-mails which are damaging because they go to underlying questions about her honesty and trustworthiness. evoking colin powell makes sense, especially to the extent he is a tailasic figure. when he pushes back publicly that can really hurt. that said, as suzanne just mentioned, this may be a giant political version where everyone's telling their own truth and there aren't as many smoking guns as partisans might like it to appear. but it's not a good day in the news cycle for the clinton campaign when this message resuscitated. >> kolb powell does not speak publicly about much these days. so it's big when he does. >> well, look, carol, i think what we have to remember is that secretary clinton has taken responsibility for her e-mails. shep has taken responsibility for the use of her e-mails. and while none of us here know the nature of the conversation between secretary clinton and secretary powell, what we do know is that secretary clinton has taken responsibility. she's apologized for it over and over again. i think what we should be looking at is the fact that -- the fact that this question of the e-mails and what was said from secretary clinton to the fbi came out in "new york times" on friday due to partisan leaks thanks to gop members from the notes from the fbi. like the clinton campaign has said, i also think the notes from secretary clinton's interview with the fbi should be released to the public as opposed to these partisan leaks that leak out. we don't know the context of the questioning to secretary clinton. there is no transcript from the fbi meeting. but there are these infamous notes that i think that should be released to the public. >> whether there are leaks or grifters or not, colin powell says her people, he's talking about clinton people, are trying to pin it on me and that seems to upset him. >> colin powell also said it doesn't bother me and i'm free and i'm fine. secretary clinton has repeatedly taken responsibility for her e-mails. she is not trying to pin it on anybody. again this is a result of the gop or the republicans talking about e-mails -- >> you can imagine the trump campaign using colin powell's quote in a campaign ad, right? >> of course, i mean, look, this is gift wrapped for them. i mean, the trump campaign doesn't have a ton of credibility to spare but colin powell does. again, you know, there's no way that continued conversation, especially from an angry and irritated colin powell, is a good day for the clinton campaign, full stop. >> so what should hillary clinton do, simone? >> so, carol, again, i have full confidence that the clinton campaign is going to continue to talk about the issues because that's what the american people care about and i believe that's what the election is about. >> but they do care about classified information and how it was handled. >> carol, i want to know, the e-mail question has been asked and answered, asked and answered, asked and answered again. every time the gop brings up the e-mails, i think they're expecting the clinton campaign to have a brand-new answer or to trip them up in some way, shape or form or trip up the democratic party as a whole. again, secretary clinton has apologized for the e-mails. she said if she could do it again, she would not have used a public server and she's taken responsibility. >> so -- >> wait, she said in a three-hour interview with the fbi -- >> she also sat down with fox news reporter and botched the answer to that e-mail question so, john, is it time for hillary clinton came out and gave another interview to someone and answered questions fully and freely? >> i mean, is it time for her to do a press conference? it's past time. i mean, you know, look. with regard to the server, she keeps apologizing and then, you know, the issue gets resuscitated. you can debate why and for whose nefarious purposes it may be but the reality is it's not good for the clintons to have people reminded about this because it is a black mark on her campaign. is it time for her to have a press conference? absolutely. it is past time. it's fine to do it one on one and quick gaggles but a former press conference for somebody leading in the polls as president is overdue, something we expect from presidential candidates that the point. >> i'm not saying it's a good thing. clearly nobody wants to keep talking about these e-mails. what i'm saying, suggesting, i think people should get out of the beltway and talk to the people. that americans, while yes they don't like this conversation about the e-mail, they really want to talk about the issues. people in communities across the country, they want to be talking about health care. they want to be talking about education. they want to talk about jobs. they want to talk about climate change. i think those are the issues that people care about. these are the issues that are going to bring people to the polls. e-mails isn't bringing anybody to the polls. >> all right, i have to

appears to be a suicide vest on his body. a local government official telling cnn the boy was a member of the cubs of caliphate, children trained and brainwashed by isis. another young bomber striking in turkey, 54 people now confirmed dead following an explosion at a wedding. at least 22 of them are children under the age of 14. and police believe the attacker was just a boy himself, only 12 to 14 years old. the attack at a mostly kurdish working class neighborhood in turkey. it's among the deadliest attacks the country has seen this year. for more, let's get to cnn senior international correspondent ben wedeman, hi, ben. >> hi, carol this is a horrific bombing that took place at the end of a street party. it was a wedding for a young couple. and the entire neighborhood had showed up. women, children, everybody. acording to people we spoke to, as many as 500 people in the street when it happened. you mentioned turkish authorities are saying they believed bomber was -- they didn't say whether it was a girl or a boy but somebody between the ages of 12 and 14. they found pieces of the suicide vest in the area. and as you mentioned, it would appear that perhaps he was one of the so-called cubs of the caliph fate. similar to that young would-be suicide bomber in kirkuk in iraq. and of course this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened. in iraq earlier this year, outside of baghdad, a similar attack. a young boy went to the very crowded football game full of children. in the local neighborhood. blew himself up, killing dozens. the turkish authorities do believe that it was the work of isis. why, because this attack was targeting a high-profile, high casualty event where there would be the kind of horror that has become characteristic of isis attacks here in this country. now, turkey is dealing with another threat coming from the so-called pkk, that's the kurdish workers party. but by and large, the pkk focuses on the police and the military. isis almost always, as it did on the 28th of june when it struck istanbul international airport, goes for civilians, goes for maximum impact. >> ben wedeman reporting live from turkey

political campaign won't disrupt recovery there. clinton's campaign releasing a statement in the last hour saying the best way to help is to make sure people have the resources they need. in the meantime, president obama will make a stop in the flood-ravaged state tomorrow. already, the losses there are staggering. 13 people have died. just over 100,000 have applied for federal help to rebuild their homes and their lives. paulo sandoval live with more. >> good morning to you. i want ton show you the scenes that await president obama when he arrives on the ground in just over 24 hours. in this neighborhood in gonzalez, about 25 miles southeast of baton rouge, you can see not only people's damaged belongings but also sheetrock, wood, really what make up the interior of these homes, is sitting on people's front lawns. if you look at the houses, they look relatively undamaged but when you actually walk inside, many of these homes have already been gutted from inside as they try to keep the mold from growing and as they begin the very long, very costly process of repairs and rebuilding. sure, the pictures here tell much of the story but also the numbers here. some of the new ones i received from the state now suggesting that at least 3,000 people woke up in nearby shelters today. that number suggests there are plenty of families that are still displaced, still with no place to go. also, about $55 million in what's called housing assistance have already been approved. about half of that has already been distributed. you talk to the people here, carol, especially ahead of the commander in chief's visit, they will tell you they believe that's still not enough. they want to make sure the president gets the message the road to recovery is not just a long and painful one, it's also a very costly one, as the majority of the people in the affected area did not have flood insurance. >> all right, palo sandoval, reporting live from louisiana this morning,

ron bonjean debates. hello and welcome to "fox news @ night." i am shannon bream in washington. senator franken will be making an announcement tomorrow. more details to come. that's where things stand at this hour with democrat senator al franken. his fellow minnesota democrat amy klobuchar tweeting she is confident he will do the right thing. that would mean resigning, as far as numerous lawmakers are concerned. yet another woman is accusing him of sexual misconduct. it's become a steady, daily drumbeat of accusations from women who work with men in power. ed henry is here with the latest on this unfolding scandal. >> top democrat has been trying to get away with allowing al franken to stay in office while they punted to the senate ethics committee. a seventh accuser came out against franken, charging he tried to forcibly kiss her. we had closer to the possibility republican roy moore may win the special election december 12, democrats could want to clear shot at trying to remove him from office, trying to make the case republicans are not cleaning up their own house. we have learned senate democratic leader chuck schumer today pressed franken and urged him to resign. schumer later putting out a statement declaring "i consider senator franken a friend and respect his accomplishments but it has a higher obligations to his constituents in the senate and he should step down immediately." a dramatic day that started with kirsten gillibrand becoming the first want to demand franken resignation. the dam seemed to break within moments. more than 37 it democrats ended up joining gillibrand. doug jones tried to tie roy moore today to al franken. watch. >> i applaud the women who have come forward against roy moore and i think it's time that those women be believed, just like the women that are coming out against senator franken. >> some republicans pushed back on the connection, noting franken has admitted to some of the groping while moore has denied all of the allegations against him. tomorrow franken will have an event revealing whether or not he is resigning. >> shannon: in the meantime, pressure on franken comes at a time when there are racial tensions bubbling inside the democratic party. what is that about? >> this is one day after john conyers resigned under pressure. politico reporting the congressional black caucus is furious that conyers was pushed out while white lawmakers in both parties are facing various allegations, democrats like franken, republicans like roy moore. nancy pelosi exacerbated the racial tensions in the democratic party by initially backing conyers and even questioning the validity of some of his female accusers. after pressure from others on the left, pelosi angered the black caucus by flip-flopping on conyers. watch. >> one accusation, two? john conyers is an icon in our country. congressman conyers should resign. zero-tolerance has consequences for everyone. >> shannon: more trouble for this between you and family, reports his son john conyers third was arrested this year for domestic abuse but didn't face criminal charges. conyers was endorsed by his dad but the congressman's great-nephew is also running. >> shannon: tuner around the christmas table could get interesting. ed henry, thank you. in a unanimous vote, the house passed legislation cosponsored by congressman barbara comstock that will require congress and staffers to do sexual harassment training. you have a hearing tomorrow and you said you don't know what you don't know about this problem. >> we are going to have witnesses in the equal employment opportunity commission in our office of compliance, the office that would review these cases, we are going to hear from them on best practices. they did a study last year where they looked at the whole problem of sexual harassment and found it still is very pervasive throughout the workplace. one of the things we know is that it's frequently not reported. one of the things they have found is in person training that really permeates and changes the culture that really is embraced from the top down and really goes throughout the whole system. that can change results and behaviors, change the culture. we want to get the best practices in place, focus on the victims. we are going to be changing the law and how we treat the victims. them on a level playing field. make it more victim friendly so they have a council or activity for them. right now the system doesn't provide that. and make sure we don't have taxpayer payment for any of thi this. i am pleased to report this has really been almost nonpartisan, and you've had the men and women in congress be active on this. the women speaking up, but the men feel strongly too. we have so many of our go guys who i don't want to have associated with on the bad behavior. that's why we need to bring this out of the shadows, make sure these women are protected and make sure it's a safe workplace for everybody. >> shannon: talked about the congressman out of texas, facing allegations he denies. here's what he said. "i follow the rules and the rules have strict confidentiality provisions of them designed to protect the victim but they also protect the perpetrators, that's the part that needs to be fixed." he has said it's tough to come out and defend himself but he says both sides of this are bound by the confidentiality. would you support legislation that will unmask the people of had settlements and what the terms work? >> i do. one of the things we support is to make sure the victims want to be able to come forward. if we have to protect the victims if they want to come forward and unmask, make people have to pay back. i think we need to make sure it's something the victims will go forward on witches, and a number of -- on a number of thee cases they have. they have come forward. it's the one that can be their decision. there are denials for many men who have been accused. senator kennedy from louisiana had this to say. >> there is an old saying the truth will set you free but sometimes it will make you feel like hell in the first place. of those who power over them sought sexual gratification and that's wrong. in terms of senator franken, he's going to have to make his own decision. sleep on a number of democrats men and women, there's a growing force that he needs to go. he will make announcement. where do we draw the line. people who are elected, people running. where do you say we have enough evidence? or say we need due process for these people. these cases are all different and we need to hear from everybody and make an educated, informed decision. >> what's made this a watershed moment is these cases have come up. you've had numerous allegations. it is not a one-off situation. you have predatory behavior, whether it is matt lauer, the stories coming out on that are horrifying. you see how he used his position of power. sexual harassment isn't so much about sex. it's about power and misuse of power. that's why we need to take this action quickly and understand congress, like everybody else, has to live by the rules. what we are seeing in the workplace for years, one of my colleagues who worked on labor law says we would go into the board of directors and say we've investigated this. this ceo has to go. or whoever else. we need to do the same thing in congress. now if they want to drag it out and do an ethics investigation like with congressman franken, i mean senator franken, i called for him to resign weeks ago when it first came out. because i don't think we should waste the taxpayers resources on these investigations either, particularly when you have serial abuse, whether it's congressman conyers or franken or any of the other people. i have been consistent on all of these. i have said when you have serial abuse and you see a time after time, patterns of behavior. predators behave in a similar pattern, like you heard with charlie rose. you are seeing people who didn't know each other come up with the same stories. those things ring true. they want to come out and defend themselves, they have that right but i think we are saying is we want congress to live by the rules of everybody else, certainly no taxpayer dollars involved. and a new system that will protect the victims and most importantly stop this in the first place. >> shannon: we need to be consistent. >> support from republicans and democrats, men and women, that's the same here. >> shannon: we like to see it when they can unite around something that's positive change. congresswoman, thanks for coming in. unless a many bales again, the president will meet with the big four congressional leaders tomorrow afternoon. republicans need votes from democrats to pass a spending bill by the end of friday to keep your government-funded. the g.o.p. made -- may need help from democrats in the house. >> they are looking at shutting down. they want to have illegal immigrants in many cases, people we don't want in our country, they want illegal immigrants pouring into our country. >> shannon: a number of democrats say they don't actually want illegal immigrants pouring into the country but they are asking for protections, the so-called dreamers, hundreds of thousands of immigrants who came to the u.s. illegally when they were brought here as children. many rallied on capitol hill today. >> 92 days since this administration made this cruel and reckless decision to end daca. we cannot wait a day longer. so let's tell them. don't tell us you will fix it in january. fixed now. >> shannon: the house is expected to vote tomorrow on what most expect will be at funding extension. mitch mcconnell putting on the pressure. they are urging his colleagues to join him. former president barack obama reportedly invoking the specter of nazi germany and a roundtable discussion last night in chicag chicago. mr. obama worried about a nativist mistrust rising around the world and warning of the dangers of becoming complacent which he said happened in germany in the 1930s. 60 million people died, so you've got to pay attention and vote." more on that comment later. almost every recent president has campaigned on moving the embassy to jerusalem. only one has started to deliver on that once in office. is trump diplomacy putting the pieces in place for a new middle east? we are going to ask former ambassador john bolton. the house passes a bill to allow law-abiding gun owners to carry across state lines. some gun rights activists are sounding the alarm. santa ana winds are whipping the southern california wild fires out of control. we will take you live to the fire line. >> these are days that break your heart but also show the resilience of our city. but when you have high blood pressure and need cold medicine that works fast, the choice is simple. coricidin hbp is the #1 brand that gives powerful cold symptom relief without raising your blood pressure. coricidin hbp. afi sure had a lot on my mind. my 30-year marriage... ...my 3-month old business... plus...what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i made a point to talk to my doctor. he told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis had both... ...and that turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. >> shannon: it's a little past 6:00 in the morning in jerusale jerusalem. a major announcement on the holy city by president donald trump. >> while previous presidents have made this a major campaign promise, they failed to deliver. today i am delivering. i have judged this course of action to be in the best interest of the united states of america and the pursuit of peace between israel and the palestinians. >> shannon: good morning. >> good evening to you. reaction here to president trump's announcement acknowledging and recognizing that jerusalem is the capital of israel was pretty much divided in very much the same way as the holy city. the israelis welcomed and applauded the decision. the palestinians denounced it. in gaza and the west bank, palestinians took to the street, demonstrating against both the united states and israel. american and israeli flags were burned. no reports of violence but palestinian leaders are calling for three days of rage that some fear could turn bloodied. rival groups, hamas, and they seemed united. the palestinian president said mr. trump's announcement is a declaration of withdrawal from mediating the peace process. symbolizing the anger and frustration, palestinians in bethlehem pulled the plug on the normally lit christmas tree in the square. >> shutting down all the lights in bethlehem after the speech considering jerusalem the capital of israel. >> bethlehem's christmas tree went dark. israeli officials applauded president trump's decision and illuminated the u.s. and israeli flags on the walls of the old city in the heart of jerusalem. the mayor said mr. trump's announcement sends a clear message to the entire world that the u.s. stands with israel and the jewish people. prime minister benjamin netanyahu said his country is profoundly grateful for what he calls an historic decision. >> we are profoundly grateful for the president, his courageous vision. to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel and prepare for the opening of the u.s. embassy. this decision reflects the president's commitment to an ancient but enduring truth to fulfilling promises and advancing peace. >> shannon: although the u.s. could have converted an existing consulate to an embassy, the plan now is for an entirely brand-new construction. that means moving day from tel aviv to jerusalem is at least several years away. >> shannon: david lee miller in jerusalem. thank you. critics of today's announcement at home and abroad are fighting the president's decision as a setback to the pursuit of peace in the middle east. he sees it differently. >> this is an long overdue step to advance the peace process and work towards a lasting agreemen agreement. israel is a sovereign nation with the right like every other sovereign nation to determine its own capital. >> shannon: here to discuss the move, former u.s. ambassador to the united nations, john bolton. good to have you with this. abroad, we have the u.k. prime minister theresa may saying "we disagree with the u.s. decision to move its embassy to jerusalem. we believe it's unhelpful in terms of prospects for peace in the region." she said there embassy is going to stay in tel aviv. no plans to move it. house minority leader nancy pelosi singh "in the absence of a negotiated settlement between the israel and the palestinians, you moving the u.s. embassy to jerusalem may needlessly spark mass protests, fuel tensions and makt more difficult." >> israel is just about the only country in the world where the american embassy is not in the capital city. suppose we said will put the american embassy in the united kingdom in manchester rather than london. how much sense would that make? why are we not in jerusalem already with a full embassy? because going back 70 years to a general assembly, u.n. general assembly resolution 181, tried to carve jerusalem out as a completely international city under the authority of the one. that was 70 years ago. that resolution was a dead letter. trump recognized reality. forget about the rhetoric you quoted. in recognizing reality, you cannot have a secure and lasting peace in as complex situation is the middle east. it's going to be founded on reality. the reality is jerusalem is israel's capital. deal with it. >> shannon: that wraps it up. no. still more questions. there are those on the right to say they feel like this is a half measure and sometimes because we showed the consulate. the huge structure that was built. a lot of people say it was anticipated that they move the embassy, this would be it. now the president is tying about architects and hiring people and it's going to take years and years. people question whether he will be president when this happens. is it an empty promise? some people feel like they are not getting what they expected. this embassy move is not going to happen anytime soon. >> i think the president made it clear he thinks things are going to start moving. he said in the speech we need to hire planners and architects and engineers. i tell you the biggest opponent of this decision today are, not mahmoud abbas, the palestinian authority, it's that career bureaucracy at the state department. they have opposed the idea of recognizing jerusalem as the capital since israel declared independence. i think what the president needs to do is insist on weekly reports from the state department, progress being made. i think congress has a role to play. they said 22 years ago they want the capital in jerusalem. if you let that bureaucracy work on its own, three years from now, they will still be doing site selection. the real test here is in the implementation. i think that lies in the president's hands. i think he knows where he wants to go. >> shannon: i am told you are going to meet with the president tomorrow. do you want to tell us everything you're going to talk about? >> i think probably the repeal of obamacare. >> shannon: that doesn't strike me that that's your topic. do you think you will discuss these issues? foreign policy, north korea and now out with a statement saying it's a matter of when a war will start. >> there are a lot of complicated issues. the president is roughly one year into the administration and like most presidents, he has tried to focus on domestic issues, but these foreign policy problems that he has inherited continued to press him. i look forward to the meeting. >> shannon: i'm sure he will take some of your advice if not all of it. ambassador, great to see you. new developments tonight and the harvey weinstein sexual-harassment scandal. we will go live to trace gallagher in los angeles with the latest on what we know about a possible hillary clinton connection. later, why does the mainstream media loves colin kaepernick? he just won another huge award, this time from "sports illustrated." this is turning into a life or death battle. adam housley joins us with a preview from the front lines of the growing california wildfire. >> the forecasted wins are back here ventura county. stoking the flames, moving the thomas fire. worrying thousands of firefighters what else they may face. we will have a lighter report of the latest in the fire conditions coming up. the guy says, "you picked the wrong insurance plan." no, i picked the wrong insurance company. with new car replacement™, we'll replace the full value of your car plus depreciation. liberty mutual insurance. >> shannon: a wildfire flared up in the bel air section of los angeles today as yet another section of southern california found itself under siege. let's go to adam housley. >> we had about 12 hours of no wind here in southern california. here in the foothills above ventura where a couple hundred homes burned down, the winds have come back. they are forecasted to come through, possibly gusting up to 80 miles an hour. trees starting to blow. we have some live aerials to show you how the wind stokes the fire. the thomas fire which is burned more than 90,000 acres, towards areas where there are rural homes. and the worry is this fire could spread depending on how strong the winds. you're saying flames. they came through here or spraying everything down. i have seen embers go by. these homes are burned down but they are hot spots. embers can blow into other neighborhoods potentially. southern california obviously under a very serious fire watch in some areas, the worst we've seen in years. low humidity, high winds, and dry. firefighters keeping an eye open, hoping nothing new starts. it's been quite a battle. >> shannon: incredibly tough work. they are very brave. thank you. we are going to back to where e began. harvey weinstein kicked off this current wave of sexual harassment scandals. some other women he allegedly assaulted are taking serious legal action. trace gallagher has the details. >> class action lawsuit filed by six women but they claim to represent hundreds of others, including dozens of early to come forward like high-profile actresses angelina jolie and ashley judd. hoping to compel other potential victims who may be waiting in the shadows to come forward. a joint statement released by the plaintiff reads in part "it's been two months, the world is still asking how this could've happened. how could so many women have been violated. how could tony will have covered up for him. how could so many people have done nothing to help? money seems to be the answer." the suit is requesting weinstein and his legal team confessed to the wrongs perpetrated by him and his enablers. so far, harvey weinstein had unequivocally denied any nonconsensual sex. now there are more than a dozen investigations into his alleged sexual misconduct underway in los angeles, new york and london. morelos is coming, including one from harvey weinstein's former personal assistant, claiming one of her jobs was to provide him with injections of erectile dysfunction medication. she was repeatedly sexually harassed. now lena dunham says she was troubled by harvey weinstein's presence during hillary clinton's presidential run. she said she thought it was a bad idea for weinstein to be hosting fund-raisers at a serious campaign event. "i just want to let you know harvey is a rapist and this is going to come out at some point." tina brown said she counseled the inner circle about harvey weinstein. >> shannon: trace gallagher with the latest out of l.a. thank you. tensions with north korea raising new concerns for american athletes competing in next year's 2018 olympic games in south korea. full report straight ahead. the president survives an impeachment vote, things to a lot of help from democrats. are they going to get heat from the left? stick around for a high-powered debate coming up. this is electricity. ♪ this is a power plant. this is tim barckholtz. that's me! this is something he is researching at exxonmobil: using fuel cells to capture carbon emissions at power plants. this is the potential. reducing co2 emissions by up to 90%... while also producing more power. this could be big. energy lives here. i met bruce i saw on his lapel (che's got a purple heart.e (bruce) we started talking about the service. i outrank him. (chris) [laughs] yeah. meals on wheels reaches so many people. it's impactful beyond anything i've ever done in my life. (bruce) the meals and his friendship really mean, means a lot to me. (vo) through the subaru share the love event, we've helped deliver over one-point- seven million meals to those in need. get a new subaru and we'll donate two hundred fifty dollars more. (chris and bruce) ♪ put a little love in your heart. ♪ not often you see moments of bipartisanship in washington these days but many house democrats joined together with their republican counterparts earlier today to block measured to move forward with impeachment of president trump. al green ideas measure allowed. they voted to table it. ron bonjean and philippe reines. i want to play what congressman greene had to say today. >> donald john trump has by his statements brought the high office of president of the united states in contempt, ridiculed, disgraced and disrepute. has demonstrated that he is unfit to be president. has betrayed his trust as president of the united states to the manifest injury of the people of the united states. >> shannon: philippe, doesn't rise to the level of an impeachable offense? because some of it i agree with. some of it i think is not right or wrong. what's interesting here is that there really is not a set definition of what is or isn't impeachable. high crimes and misdemeanors does not necessarily mean a crime. if president trump were to go live in mar-a-lago year-round and never do his job, that's an impeachable offense. i don't mean to be legalistic that people are going to take different interpretations of what it is. some people think his behavior and his eroticism and acting out is the basis for it. i think what you see this week, more people coming forward, more democrats mostly in light of john dowd, his attorney's statement, saying this is obstruction. i think people are going to come to the conclusion of whether they think there is something there. >> shannon: 58 of them today. >> a month from now it could be 158. >> shannon: on october 22nd, donald trump made a statement as follows: wacky congresswoman wilson is a gift that keeps on giving. a disaster for democrats, contempt on an african-american african-american -- he called her wacky. >> this whole thing is wacky. the impeachment vote today was a needless distraction and frankly it's a gift to republicans because republicans are trying to get things done. we just passed tax reform and democrats are over here, 58 of them, supporting impeaching the president. we are trying to get real work done. it undermines the liberal left wing gleaner activist who has lots of commercials on cable news network's pushing for impeachment. doesn't make any sense to me. i understand fund-raising purposes. these 58 people saying they tried to do something about it but in the end, nothing's going to happen. >> shannon: leadership is saying we are not for this. i want to get reaction from both of you. remarks by former president obama saying we have to attend this garden of democracy or things could fall apart quickly, referring to the holocaust in nazi germany, saying 60 many people died steve got to pay attention. when republicans talk about or hitler, all breaks loose. >> if i was sitting tonight at home watching fox. i think it shows the depth of concern people have. this is president obama. like him or not, he's a pretty levelheaded guy. for him to say something like that, i think it does reflect what a lot of people are feeling, going back to impeachment. i think we should give people the benefit of the doubt not just in congress but around the country. there are people who believe the president should be impeached because they don't like what's happening in the country. it's not because of tax reform, repeal or not. you're seeing a little bit of that in that comment. >> shannon: we've got to go. >> i think there's a lot of people out there supporting republicans for getting things done. >> shannon: good to see you both. against the backdrop of war games, what can american athletes expect from the winter games? >> not a warm welcome from the north koreans. the north koreans are saying that outbreak of war on the korean peninsula is an established fact. that threat is clearly changing how the u.s. feels about a lot of things, including the olympics and whether the u.s. team will show up. the 2018 winter games kick off two months from now in south korea. some of the venues are 40 miles from the dmz. puts them well within range of an incredible amount of north korean firepower. the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. left open the possibility that going there might not be a good idea. >> there is an open question. i've not heard anything about that but i know in the talks we have, it's always about, how do we protect u.s. citizens? those are conversations happening daily. >> would you feel comfortable sending family members if they were athletes? >> depends on what's going on at the time. we have to watch closely. speak on "the wall street journal" reports ticket sales are sluggish to say the least and video of u.s. war games over the korean peninsula aren't exactly what the tourism board would hope for. u.s. and south korean forces put hundreds of fighter jets together in a show of force and resolve along with stealth fighters. there was supposed to be a pair of u.s. be one bombers from gua guam. supposed to be a pair of bomber bombers. that would mean two. it turns out the show of force was an abject lesson in the state of u.s. military readiness. there was only one the one bomber. the other was stopped on a runway in guam with mechanical problems. >> shannon: we've talked a great deal about the military having a tough time. thank you very much. good to see you. the house passed a major gun rights bill but it's not without critics, including some gun rights advocates. they're going to explain their concerns next. but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember. they cahow many of 'em?e, sir! we don't know. dozens. all right! let's teach these freaks some manners! good luck out there, captain! thanks! but i don't need luck, i have skills... i don't have my keys. (on intercom) all hands. we are looking for the captain's keys again. they are on a silver carabiner. oh, this is bad. as long as people misplace their keys, you can count on geico saving folks money. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. we are the driven... the dedicated... the overachievers. we know our best investment is in ourselves. we don't take no for an answer. we fight for what we want. even for the things that were once a given. going to college... buying a home... and not being in debt for it for the rest of our lives. but we're only as strong as our community. who inspires and pushes us to go further than we could ever go alone. sofi. get there sooner. >> shannon: congress passing a measure that would allow owners of legally concealed weapons to take them across state lines. it's not without its republican critics. emily miller, good to see you. let me start with criticism from the left. here's what nancy pelosi had to say. "the radical republican bill is a direct threat to public safety. republicans are inviting violent criminals, convicted stockers and those who have never undergone a background check, and a gun safety training, the green light to carry that concealed weapons wherever they want." >> once again, nancy pelosi noted on the bill she hasn't read. i read the bill. she clearly did not. it specifically says, the language in the bill. somebody was a qualified person. i am a qualified person. you are too. you're not a felon, not a domestic abuser. you don't do drugs. we are qualified people to own guns. i have a permit in d.c. you should get one. all this means is this -- donald trump is a permit holder in new york city. one of his campaign promises was this long-held bill which is so needed in our country because i come as a permit holder in d.c., can't carry in maryland. a few years ago, i couldn't carry in virginia. i can carry in florida but not georgia. it's convoluted. >> shannon: i want to ask you. there are some including the congressman from kentucky saying this is going to be paired up with something in the senate. it will throw millions of dollars of the program and result in more law-abiding citizens being deprived of their rights. he says it something that will happen when he joins with the senate measure. >> the house put them together. after the shooting in texas, that man was not supposed to have a gun. he was dangerously mentally ill. it's not true what the congressman, with all due respect, probably also did not read the bill. all this is doing is making sure dealers aren't selling to people and all the records and the fbi. i don't want crazy, dangerous people having guns. >> shannon: you should talk to nancy pelosi. emily miller, thank you very much. up next, "time" magazine naming its person of the year. because at a dr. scholl's kiosk he got a recommendation for our custom fit orthotic to relieve his foot, knee, or lower back pain, from being on his feet. dr. scholl's. born to move. at outback, big australia is back. our biggest sirloin. our biggest bloom. our biggest entrees ever. outback steakhouse. aussie rules. and now, get a free $10 bonus card with every $50 in gift cards. directv has been rated number one in customer satisfaction over cable for 17 years running. but some people still like cable. just like some people like wet grocery bags. getting a bad haircut. overcrowded trains. turnstiles that don't turn. and spilling coffee on themselves. but for everyone else, there's directv. for #1 rated customer satisfaction over cable, switch to directv. and for a limited time get a $100 reward card. call 1-800-directv grandma's. aunt stacy's. what are the reasons you care for your heart? qunol coq10 with 3x better absorption has the #1 cardiologist recommended form of coq10 to support heart health. qunol, the better coq10. >> shannon: "time" "time" magas naming the "me, too" as the 2017 person of the year. it features ashley judd, taylor swift. joe conscious as "time" magazine has got into pc to name a worthy person of the year. how should they have handled this? >> let me be very clear on this before i get destroyed. this was an excellent choice, clearly. you look at the avalanche. since harvey weinstein and all of the names and entertainment, kevin spacey, louis c.k., in media, charlie rose, matt lauer, glenn thrush, and politics, al franken, jon cryer, conyers, roy mori. this is a safe choice, a good choice but not the right choice. remember, the criteria by "time," who had the most impact on the news cycle and our new? if i ask that question, what can possibly be the only name that comes to mind in 2017? >> shannon: i'm thinking it might be donald trump. by the way, it sounds like he won the runner up, they've acknowledged that created demi lovato tweeted this. open >> that's an excellent poi. and look, i don't like it when groups get named. it is called person of the year. you want to make movement of the year? sell a couple of magazines? to that issue two weeks from now. i would rather they choose someone, trump, jeff bezos, vladimir putin, given the impact on russia of our psyche. i think those three choices would have been outstanding. >> tucker: i want to ask you really quickly, colin kaepernici legacy award. the mainstream media loves it. >> they are swooning. colin kaepernick, has he met with one police force, when police union, does colin kaepernick actually do interviews with the media in any capacity? if you will compare him to muhammad ali, who never met a microphone he didn't like, who always expressed exactly what was on his mind and what his cause was, you are making a big mistake because colin kaepernick is a media creation. he doesn't actually put actions behind his words. yes, he donated $1 million but he made $39 million over the last three years. i don't know what he standing up for i think it is police brutality against minorities but at the same time i don't hear from him. until he starts doing interviews, i don't know. >> shannon: b got to go. most-watched, most trusted, most grateful that you spent the night with us. good night from washington. i am shannon bream. ♪ >> tucker: good evening, and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." today, more than 30 democratic senators demanded that senator al franken of minnesota resign in response to multiple allegations of sexual harassment. >> i do not feel that he should continue to serve. >> we can't force him to resign, but i hope he will do the right thing when he tells us what his decision is. >> but i think it would be better for the country for him to offer that clear message that he values women, that we value women, and that this kind of behavior is not acceptable. >> senator franken's conduct was wrong. he has admitted to it, and he should resign. >> tucker: franken's office says he will make an c
New-yorkUnited-statesJerusalemIsrael-general-IsraelAustraliaWest-bankTexasWashingtonKentuckyTel-avivFlorida means for trump diplomacy. it's a rare moment of bipartisan unity, putting them breaks in an attempt to impeach president trump. will democratic leaders get punished? ron bonjean debates. hello and welcome to "fox news @ night." i am shannon bream in washington. senator franken will be making an announcement tomorrow. more details to come. that's where things stand at this hour with democrat senator al franken. his fellow minnesota democrat amy klobuchar tweeting she is confident he will do the right thing. that would mean resigning, as far as numerous lawmakers are concerned. yet another woman is accusing him of sexual misconduct. it's become a steady, daily drumbeat of accusations from women who work with men in power. ed henry is here with the latest on this unfolding scandal. >> top democrat has been trying to get away with allowing al franken to stay in office while they punted to the senate ethics committee. a seventh accuser came out against franken, charging he tried to forcibly kiss her. we had closer to the possibility republican roy moore may win the special election december 12, democrats could want to clear shot at trying to remove him from office, trying to make the case republicans are not cleaning up their own house. we have learned senate democratic leader chuck schumer today pressed franken and urged him to resign. schumer later putting out a statement declaring "i consider senator franken a friend and respect his accomplishments but it has a higher obligations to his constituents in the senate and he should step down immediately." a dramatic day that started with kirsten gillibrand becoming the first want to demand franken resignation. the dam seemed to break within moments. more than 37 it democrats ended up joining gillibrand. doug jones tried to tie roy moore today to al franken. watch. >> i applaud the women who have come forward against roy moore and i think it's time that those women be believed, just like the women that are coming out against senator franken. >> some republicans pushed back on the connection, noting franken has admitted to some of the groping while moore has denied all of the allegations against him. tomorrow franken will have an event revealing whether or not he is resigning. >> shannon: in the meantime, pressure on franken comes at a time when there are racial tensions bubbling inside the democratic party. what is that about? >> this is one day after john conyers resigned under pressure. politico reporting the congressional black caucus is furious that conyers was pushed out while white lawmakers in both parties are facing various allegations, democrats like franken, republicans like roy moore. nancy pelosi exacerbated the racial tensions in the democratic party by initially backing conyers and even questioning the validity of some of his female accusers. after pressure from others on the left, pelosi angered the black caucus by flip-flopping on conyers. watch. >> one accusation, two? john conyers is an icon in our country. congressman conyers should resign. zero-tolerance has consequences for everyone. >> shannon: more trouble for this between you and family, reports his son john conyers third was arrested this year for domestic abuse but didn't face criminal charges. conyers was endorsed by his dad but the congressman's great-nephew is also running. >> shannon: tuner around the christmas table could get interesting. ed henry, thank you. in a unanimous vote, the house passed legislation cosponsored by congressman barbara comstock that will require congress and staffers to do sexual harassment training. you have a hearing tomorrow and you said you don't know what you don't know about this problem. >> we are going to have witnesses in the equal employment opportunity commission in our office of compliance, the office that would review these cases, we are going to hear from them on best practices. they did a study last year where they looked at the whole problem of sexual harassment and found it still is very pervasive throughout the workplace. one of the things we know is that it's frequently not reported. one of the things they have found is in person training that really permeates and changes the culture that really is embraced from the top down and really goes throughout the whole system. that can change results and behaviors, change the culture. we want to get the best practices in place, focus on the victims. we are going to be changing the law and how we treat the victims. them on a level playing field. make it more victim friendly so they have a council or activity for them. right now the system doesn't provide that. and make sure we don't have taxpayer payment for any of thi this. i am pleased to report this has really been almost nonpartisan, and you've had the men and women in congress be active on this. the women speaking up, but the men feel strongly too. we have so many of our go guys who i don't want to have associated with on the bad behavior. that's why we need to bring this out of the shadows, make sure these women are protected and make sure it's a safe workplace for everybody. >> shannon: talked about the congressman out of texas, facing allegations he denies. here's what he said. "i follow the rules and the rules have strict confidentiality provisions of them designed to protect the victim but they also protect the perpetrators, that's the part that needs to be fixed." he has said it's tough to come out and defend himself but he says both sides of this are bound by the confidentiality. would you support legislation that will unmask the people of had settlements and what the terms work? >> i do. one of the things we support is to make sure the victims want to be able to come forward. if we have to protect the victims if they want to come forward and unmask, make people have to pay back. i think we need to make sure it's something the victims will go forward on witches, and a number of -- on a number of thee cases they have. they have come forward. it's the one that can be their decision. there are denials for many men who have been accused. senator kennedy from louisiana had this to say. >> there is an old saying the truth will set you free but sometimes it will make you feel like hell in the first place. of those who power over them sought sexual gratification and that's wrong. in terms of senator franken, he's going to have to make his own decision. sleep on a number of democrats men and women, there's a growing force that he needs to go. he will make announcement. where do we draw the line. people who are elected, people running. where do you say we have enough evidence? or say we need due process for these people. these cases are all different and we need to hear from everybody and make an educated, informed decision. >> what's made this a watershed moment is these cases have come up. you've had numerous allegations. it is not a one-off situation. you have predatory behavior, whether it is matt lauer, the stories coming out on that are horrifying. you see how he used his position of power. sexual harassment isn't so much about sex. it's about power and misuse of power. that's why we need to take this action quickly and understand congress, like everybody else, has to live by the rules. what we are seeing in the workplace for years, one of my colleagues who worked on labor law says we would go into the board of directors and say we've investigated this. this ceo has to go. or whoever else. we need to do the same thing in congress. now if they want to drag it out and do an ethics investigation like with congressman franken, i mean senator franken, i called for him to resign weeks ago when it first came out. because i don't think we should waste the taxpayers resources on these investigations either, particularly when you have serial abuse, whether it's congressman conyers or franken or any of the other people. i have been consistent on all of these. i have said when you have serial abuse and you see a time after time, patterns of behavior. predators behave in a similar pattern, like you heard with charlie rose. you are seeing people who didn't know each other come up with the same stories. those things ring true. they want to come out and defend themselves, they have that right but i think we are saying is we want congress to live by the rules of everybody else, certainly no taxpayer dollars involved. and a new system that will protect the victims and most importantly stop this in the first place. >> shannon: we need to be consistent. >> support from republicans and democrats, men and women, that's the same here. >> shannon: we like to see it when they can unite around something that's positive change. congresswoman, thanks for coming in. unless a many bales again, the president will meet with the big four congressional leaders tomorrow afternoon. republicans need votes from democrats to pass a spending bill by the end of friday to keep your government-funded. the g.o.p. made -- may need help from democrats in the house. >> they are looking at shutting down. they want to have illegal immigrants in many cases, people we don't want in our country, they want illegal immigrants pouring into our country. >> shannon: a number of democrats say they don't actually want illegal immigrants pouring into the country but they are asking for protections, the so-called dreamers, hundreds of thousands of immigrants who came to the u.s. illegally when they were brought here as children. many rallied on capitol hill today. >> 92 days since this administration made this cruel and reckless decision to end daca. we cannot wait a day longer. so let's tell them. don't tell us you will fix it in january. fixed now. >> shannon: the house is expected to vote tomorrow on what most expect will be at funding extension. mitch mcconnell putting on the pressure. they are urging his colleagues to join him. former president barack obama reportedly invoking the specter of nazi germany and a roundtable discussion last night in chicag chicago. mr. obama worried about a nativist mistrust rising around the world and warning of the dangers of becoming complacent which he said happened in germany in the 1930s. 60 million people died, so you've got to pay attention and vote." more on that comment later. almost every recent president has campaigned on moving the embassy to jerusalem. only one has started to deliver on that once in office. is trump diplomacy putting the pieces in place for a new middle east? we are going to ask former ambassador john bolton. the house passes a bill to allow law-abiding gun owners to carry across state lines. some gun rights activists are sounding the alarm. santa ana winds are whipping the southern california wild fires out of control. we will take you live to the fire line. >> these are days that break your heart but also show the resilience of our city. your insurance company won't replace the full value of your totaled new car. the guy says, "you picked the wrong insurance plan." no, i picked the wrong insurance company. with new car replacement™, we'll replace the full value of your car plus depreciation. liberty mutual insurance. running a small business is demanding. and that's why small business owners need more. like internet that's up to the challenge. the gig-speed network from comcast business gives you more. with speeds up to 20 times faster than the average. that means powering more devices, more video conferencing, and more downloads in seconds, not minutes. get fast internet and add phone and tv for only $34.90 more per month. comcast is building america's largest gig-speed network to give small businesses more. call 1-800-501-6000 today. >> shannon: it's a little past 6:00 in the morning in jerusale jerusalem. a major announcement on the holy city by president donald trump. >> while previous presidents have made this a major campaign promise, they failed to deliver. today i am delivering. i have judged this course of action to be in the best interest of the united states of america and the pursuit of peace between israel and the palestinians. >> shannon: good morning. >> good evening to you. reaction here to president trump's announcement acknowledging and recognizing that jerusalem is the capital of israel was pretty much divided in very much the same way as the holy city. the israelis welcomed and applauded the decision. the palestinians denounced it. in gaza and the west bank, palestinians took to the street, demonstrating against both the united states and israel. american and israeli flags were burned. no reports of violence but palestinian leaders are calling for three days of rage that some fear could turn bloodied. rival groups, hamas, and they seemed united. the palestinian president said mr. trump's announcement is a declaration of withdrawal from mediating the peace process. symbolizing the anger and frustration, palestinians in bethlehem pulled the plug on the normally lit christmas tree in the square. >> shutting down all the lights in bethlehem after the speech considering jerusalem the capital of israel. >> bethlehem's christmas tree went dark. israeli officials applauded president trump's decision and illuminated the u.s. and israeli flags on the walls of the old city in the heart of jerusalem. the mayor said mr. trump's announcement sends a clear message to the entire world that the u.s. stands with israel and the jewish people. prime minister benjamin netanyahu said his country is profoundly grateful for what he calls an historic decision. >> we are profoundly grateful for the president, his courageous vision. to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel and prepare for the opening of the u.s. embassy. this decision reflects the president's commitment to an ancient but enduring truth to fulfilling promises and advancing peace. >> shannon: although the u.s. could have converted an existing consulate to an embassy, the plan now is for an entirely brand-new construction. that means moving day from tel aviv to jerusalem is at least several years away. >> shannon: david lee miller in jerusalem. thank you. critics of today's announcement at home and abroad are fighting the president's decision as a setback to the pursuit of peace in the middle east. he sees it differently. >> this is an long overdue step to advance the peace process and work towards a lasting agreemen agreement. israel is a sovereign nation with the right like every other sovereign nation to determine its own capital. >> shannon: here to discuss the move, former u.s. ambassador to the united nations, john bolton. good to have you with this. abroad, we have the u.k. prime minister theresa may saying "we disagree with the u.s. decision to move its embassy to jerusalem. we believe it's unhelpful in terms of prospects for peace in the region." she said there embassy is going to stay in tel aviv. no plans to move it. house minority leader nancy pelosi singh "in the absence of a negotiated settlement between the israel and the palestinians, you moving the u.s. embassy to jerusalem may needlessly spark mass protests, fuel tensions and makt more difficult." >> israel is just about the only country in the world where the american embassy is not in the capital city. suppose we said will put the american embassy in the united kingdom in manchester rather than london. how much sense would that make? why are we not in jerusalem already with a full embassy? because going back 70 years to a general assembly, u.n. general assembly resolution 181, tried to carve jerusalem out as a completely international city under the authority of the one. that was 70 years ago. that resolution was a dead letter. trump recognized reality. forget about the rhetoric you quoted. in recognizing reality, you cannot have a secure and lasting peace in as complex situation is the middle east. it's going to be founded on reality. the reality is jerusalem is israel's capital. deal with it. >> shannon: that wraps it up. no. still more questions. there are those on the right to say they feel like this is a half measure and sometimes because we showed the consulate. the huge structure that was built. a lot of people say it was anticipated that they move the embassy, this would be it. now the president is tying about architects and hiring people and it's going to take years and years. people question whether he will be president when this happens. is it an empty promise? some people feel like they are not getting what they expected. this embassy move is not going to happen anytime soon. >> i think the president made it clear he thinks things are going to start moving. he said in the speech we need to hire planners and architects and engineers. i tell you the biggest opponent of this decision today are, not mahmoud abbas, the palestinian authority, it's that career bureaucracy at the state department. they have opposed the idea of recognizing jerusalem as the capital since israel declared independence. i think what the president needs to do is insist on weekly reports from the state department, progress being made. i think congress has a role to play. they said 22 years ago they want the capital in jerusalem. if you let that bureaucracy work on its own, three years from now, they will still be doing site selection. the real test here is in the implementation. i think that lies in the president's hands. i think he knows where he wants to go. >> shannon: i am told you are going to meet with the president tomorrow. do you want to tell us everything you're going to talk about? >> i think probably the repeal of obamacare. >> shannon: that doesn't strike me that that's your topic. do you think you will discuss these issues? foreign policy, north korea and now out with a statement saying it's a matter of when a war will start. >> there are a lot of complicated issues. the president is roughly one year into the administration and like most presidents, he has tried to focus on domestic issues, but these foreign policy problems that he has inherited continued to press him. i look forward to the meeting. >> shannon: i'm sure he will take some of your advice if not all of it. ambassador, great to see you. new developments tonight and the harvey weinstein sexual-harassment scandal. we will go live to trace gallagher in los angeles with the latest on what we know about a possible hillary clinton connection. later, why does the mainstream media loves colin kaepernick? he just won another huge award, this time from "sports illustrated." this is turning into a life or death battle. adam housley joins us with a preview from the front lines of the growing california wildfire. >> the forecasted wins are back here ventura county. stoking the flames, moving the thomas fire. worrying thousands of firefighters what else they may face. we will have a lighter report of the latest in the fire conditions coming up >> shannon: a wildfire flared up in the bel air section of los angeles today as yet another section of southern california found itself under siege. let's go to adam housley. >> we had about 12 hours of no wind here in southern california. here in the foothills above ventura where a couple hundred homes burned down, the winds have come back. they are forecasted to come through, possibly gusting up to 80 miles an hour. trees starting to blow. we have some live aerials to show you how the wind stokes the fire. the thomas fire which is burned more than 90,000 acres, towards areas where there are rural homes. and the worry is this fire could spread depending on how strong the winds. you're saying flames. they came through here or spraying everything down. i have seen embers go by. these homes are burned down but they are hot spots. embers can blow into other neighborhoods potentially. southern california obviously under a very serious fire watch in some areas, the worst we've seen in years. low humidity, high winds, and dry. firefighters keeping an eye open, hoping nothing new starts. it's been quite a battle. >> shannon: incredibly tough work. they are very brave. thank you. we are going to back to where e began. harvey weinstein kicked off this current wave of sexual harassment scandals. some other women he allegedly assaulted are taking serious legal action. trace gallagher has the details. >> class action lawsuit filed by six women but they claim to represent hundreds of others, including dozens of early to come forward like high-profile actresses angelina jolie and ashley judd. hoping to compel other potential victims who may be waiting in the shadows to come forward. a joint statement released by the plaintiff reads in part "it's been two months, the world is still asking how this could've happened. how could so many women have been violated. how could tony will have covered up for him. how could so many people have done nothing to help? money seems to be the answer." the suit is requesting weinstein and his legal team confessed to the wrongs perpetrated by him and his enablers. so far, harvey weinstein had unequivocally denied any nonconsensual sex. now there are more than a dozen investigations into his alleged sexual misconduct underway in los angeles, new york and london. morelos is coming, including one from harvey weinstein's former personal assistant, claiming one of her jobs was to provide him with injections of erectile dysfunction medication. she was repeatedly sexually harassed. now lena dunham says she was troubled by harvey weinstein's presence during hillary clinton's presidential run. she said she thought it was a bad idea for weinstein to be hosting fund-raisers at a serious campaign event. "i just want to let you know harvey is a rapist and this is going to come out at some point." tina brown said she counseled the inner circle about harvey weinstein. >> shannon: trace gallagher with the latest out of l.a. thank you. tensions with north korea raising new concerns for american athletes competing in next year's 2018 olympic games in south korea. full report straight ahead. the president survives an impeachment vote, things to a lot of help from democrats. are they going to get heat from the left? stick around for a high-powered debate coming up. not often you see moments of bipartisanship in washington these days but many house democrats joined together with their republican counterparts earlier today to block measured to move forward with impeachment of president trump. al green ideas measure allowed. they voted to table it. ron bonjean and philippe reines. i want to play what congressman greene had to say today. >> donald john trump has by his statements brought the high office of president of the united states in contempt, ridiculed, disgraced and disrepute. has demonstrated that he is unfit to be president. has betrayed his trust as president of the united states to the manifest injury of the people of the united states. >> shannon: philippe, doesn't rise to the level of an impeachable offense? because some of it i agree with. some of it i think is not right or wrong. what's interesting here is that there really is not a set definition of what is or isn't impeachable. high crimes and misdemeanors does not necessarily mean a crime. if president trump were to go live in mar-a-lago year-round and never do his job, that's an impeachable offense. i don't mean to be legalistic that people are going to take different interpretations of what it is. some people think his behavior and his eroticism and acting out is the basis for it. i think what you see this week, more people coming forward, more democrats mostly in light of john dowd, his attorney's statement, saying this is obstruction. i think people are going to come to the conclusion of whether they think there is something there. >> shannon: 58 of them today. >> a month from now it could be 158. >> shannon: on october 22nd, donald trump made a statement as follows: wacky congresswoman wilson is a gift that keeps on giving. a disaster for democrats, contempt on an african-american african-american -- he called her wacky. >> this whole thing is wacky. the impeachment vote today was a needless distraction and frankly it's a gift to republicans because republicans are trying to get things done. we just passed tax reform and democrats are over here, 58 of them, supporting impeaching the president. we are trying to get real work done. it undermines the liberal left wing gleaner activist who has lots of commercials on cable news network's pushing for impeachment. doesn't make any sense to me. i understand fund-raising purposes. these 58 people saying they tried to do something about it but in the end, nothing's going to happen. >> shannon: leadership is saying we are not for this. i want to get reaction from both of you. remarks by former president obama saying we have to attend this garden of democracy or things could fall apart quickly, referring to the holocaust in nazi germany, saying 60 many people died steve got to pay attention. when republicans talk about or hitler, all breaks loose. >> if i was sitting tonight at home watching fox. i think it shows the depth of concern people have. this is president obama. like him or not, he's a pretty levelheaded guy. for him to say something like that, i think it does reflect what a lot of people are feeling, going back to impeachment. i think we should give people the benefit of the doubt not just in congress but around the country. there are people who believe the president should be impeached because they don't like what's happening in the country. it's not because of tax reform, repeal or not. you're seeing a little bit of that in that comment. >> shannon: we've got to go. >> i think there's a lot of people out there supporting republicans for getting things done. >> shannon: good to see youth. against the backdrop of war games, what can american athletes expect from the winter games? >> not a warm welcome from the north koreans. the north koreans are saying that outbreak of war on the korean peninsula is an established fact. that threat is clearly changing how the u.s. feels about a lot of things, including the olympics and whether the u.s. team will show up. the 2018 winter games kick off two months from now in south korea. some of the venues are 40 miles from the dmz. puts them well within range of an incredible amount of north korean firepower. the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. left open the possibility that going there might not be a good idea. >> there is an open question. i've not heard anything about that but i know in the talks we have, it's always about, how do we protect u.s. citizens? those are conversations happening daily. >> would you feel comfortable sending family members if they were athletes? >> depends on what's going on at the time. we have to watch closely. speak on "the wall street journal" reports ticket sales are sluggish to say the least and video of u.s. war games over the korean peninsula aren't exactly what the tourism board would hope for. u.s. and south korean forces put hundreds of fighter jets together in a show of force and resolve along with stealth fighters. there was supposed to be a pair of u.s. be one bombers from gua guam. supposed to be a pair of bomber bombers. that would mean two. it turns out the show of force was an abject lesson in the state of u.s. military readiness. there was only one the one bomber. the other was stopped on a runway in guam with mechanical problems. >> shannon: we've talked a great deal about the military having a tough time. thank you very much. good to see you. the house passed a major gun rights bill but ..ghts bill but rights advocates. they're going to explain their concerns next. this is electricity. ♪ this is a power plant. this is tim barckholtz. that's me! this is something he is researching at exxonmobil: using fuel cells to capture carbon emissions at power plants. this is the potential. reducing co2 emissions by up to 90%... while also producing more power. this could be big. energy lives here. we are the driven... the dedicated... the overachievers. we know our best investment is in ourselves. we don't take no for an answer. we fight for what we want. even for the things that were once a given. going to college... buying a home... and not being in debt for it for the rest of our lives. but we're only as strong as our community. who inspires and pushes us to go further than we could ever go alone. sofi. get there sooner. so how old do you want uhh, i was thinking around 70. alright, and before that? you mean after that? no, i'm talking before that. do you have things you want to do before you retire? oh yeah sure... ok, like what? but i thought we were supposed to be talking about investing for retirement? we're absolutely doing that. but there's no law you can't make the most of today. what do you want to do? i'd really like to run with the bulls. wow. yea. hope you're fast. i am. get a portfolio that works for you now and as your needs change. investment management services from td ameritrade. the left. here's what nancy pelosi had to say. "the radical republican bill is a direct threat to public safety. republicans are inviting violent criminals, convicted stockers and those who have never undergone a background check, and a gun safety training, the green light to carry that concealed weapons wherever they want." >> once again, nancy pelosi noted on the bill she hasn't read. i read the bill. she clearly did not. it specifically says, the language in the bill. somebody was a qualified person. i am a qualified person. you are too. you're not a felon, not a domestic abuser. you don't do drugs. we are qualified people to own guns. i have a permit in d.c. you should get one. all this means is this -- donald trump is a permit holder in new york city. one of his campaign promises was this long-held bill which is so needed in our country because i come as a permit holder in d.c., can't carry in maryland. a few years ago, i couldn't carry in virginia. i can carry in florida but not georgia. it's convoluted. >> shannon: i want to ask you. there are some including the congressman from kentucky saying this is going to be paired up with something in the senate. it will throw millions of dollars of the program and result in more law-abiding citizens being deprived of their rights. he says it something that will happen when he joins with the senate measure. >> the house put them together. after the shooting in texas, that man was not supposed to have a gun. he was dangerously mentally ill. it's not true what the congressman, with all due respect, probably also did not read the bill. all this is doing is making sure dealers aren't selling to people and all the records and the fbi. i don't want crazy, dangerous people having guns. >> shannon: you should talk to nancy pelosi. emily miller, thank you very much. up next, "time" magazine naming up next, "time" magazine naming its person of the year. afi sure had a lot on my mind. my 30-year marriage... ...my 3-month old business... plus...what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i made a point to talk to my doctor. he told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis had both... ...and that turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. they cahow many of 'em?e, sir! we don't know. dozens. all right! let's teach these freaks some manners! good luck out there, captain! thanks! but i don't need luck, i have skills... i don't have my keys. (on intercom) all hands. we are looking for the captain's keys again. they are on a silver carabiner. oh, this is bad. as long as people misplace their keys, you can count on geico saving folks money. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. >> shannon: "time" "time" magas naming the "me, too" as the 2017 person of the year. it features ashley judd, taylor swift. joe conscious as "time" magazine has got into pc to name a worthy person of the year. how should they have handled this? >> let me be very clear on this before i get destroyed. this was an excellent choice, clearly. you look at the avalanche. since harvey weinstein and all of the names and entertainment, kevin spacey, louis c.k., in media, charlie rose, matt lauer, glenn thrush, and politics, al franken, jon cryer, conyers, roy mori. this is a safe choice, a good choice but not the right choice. remember, the criteria by "time," who had the most impact on the news cycle and our new? if i ask that question, what can possibly be the only name that comes to mind in 2017? >> shannon: i'm thinking it might be donald trump. by the way, it sounds like he won the runner up, they've acknowledged that created demi lovato tweeted this. open >> that's an excellent poi. and look, i don't like it when groups get named. it is called person of the year. you want to make movement of the year? sell a couple of magazines? to that issue two weeks from now. i would rather they choose someone, trump, jeff bezos, vladimir putin, given the impact on russia of our psyche. i think those three choices would have been outstanding. >> tucker: i want to ask you really quickly, colin kaepernici legacy award. the mainstream media loves it. >> they are swooning. colin kaepernick, has he met with one police force, when police union, does colin kaepernick actually do interviews with the media in any capacity? if you will compare him to muhammad ali, who never met a microphone he didn't like, who always expressed exactly what was on his mind and what his cause was, you are making a big mistake because colin kaepernick is a media creation. he doesn't actually put actions behind his words. yes, he donated $1 million but he made $39 million over the last three years. i don't know what he standing up for i think it is police brutality against minorities but at the same time i don't hear from him. until he starts doing interviews, i don't know. >> shannon: b got to go. most-watched, m >> forcing almost 200,000 people to evacuate. >> finally acknowledged the obvious, jerusalem is his relapse capital. >> this decision reflects the president's commitment to an ancient and enduring truth to fulfilling his promises and advancing peace. >> president
